Interior Of Storage House Used for
Celery, 6eets, Potatoes, Cabbage and
Ali Root Crops. ~.
but this method is open to the objec.
ton that it is hard to get the celery
out when the ground is frozen. n
AnotAer method Of storing celery, IL
to excdy4te pit 10 to IL inches wide
to depth of about "a inches and Of
any desired length; thoroughly loosen
the soil in the bottom or shovel in
loose top soil to form bed in which
to set the roots Of the celery, and pack
this trench with fully grown plants,
placing the roots close together with
considerable soil adhering to them.
Water the celery as it is placed in the
trench and allow the trench to remain
open long enough for the tops to be-
come dry. Unless the soil Is very dry
at the time of storing or extended warm
weather should follow, twill not be nee
essary to apply more water. Place q II.
inch board on edge along one side Of
the trench and bank it with the sur
plus earth; cover the trench with
roof of boards, straw on poles, or corn
stalks from which the tops have been
removed, placing the stalks across the
pit with one end resting on the board
and the sother on the ground; spread
over this light covering of straw or
other material which will pack closely,
and as the weather becomes colder in
crease the covering to keep out the
frost. Celery stored in this manner
will keep until late In the winter. This
method, because of ite simplicity, is
recommended for the farmer and small
grower.
The unused pit of a permanent hot
bed may be utilized as q storage place
for celery by removing the surplus
earth and substituting covering of
boards for the sash. Store the celery
In the same manner as in the trench,
and cover the bed with any material
which will keep out frost.
Celery may be stored. on the floor
of storage room, In the basement of
q dwelling or in an outdoor storage
cellar. Take up the plants just before
freezing occurs, with considerable
earth adhering, and set them on the
floor with the roots packed together
as closely as possible. If moderately
moist, the celery will keep well under
the conditions found in most storage
cellars. Celery should not be stored
In the same cellar as turnips or cab
bage. as it will absorb the odor of
these vegetables, running it's flavor.

SPANISH INHUFNzA--WHAT It IS
and HOW It SHOULD Be TREATED
Nothing Simply the Old Grip or La Grippe That
| Was Epidemic in 1889.9o. Only Then It Came
From Russia by Way of France and
<.~ This Time by Way Of Spain
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

- 6@ SnUNtAtD SAT61ISSA tOuNof 1859
In order to stimulate the lining Of
the air passages to throw off the grippe
germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open. thus
making the breathing easier, Vick's
VapoRub will be found effective. Hot
wet towels should be applied over the
throat, chest and back between the
shoulder blades to open the pores.
Then VapoRub should be rubbed In
over the parts until the skin is red,
spread on thickly and cover with two
thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, as
the heat Of the body liberates the In
gradients in the form of vapors.
These vapors, inhaled with each breath.
CORY the medication directly to the
parts affected. At the same time
VapoRrb is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood to the surface, and thus aids
In relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this is
germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds-common
drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty Of
exercise in the open air, and good food.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
sign of cold. For a head cold, melt a
little VapoRub in spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still. use Vapo-
Rub in benzoin steam kettle. II this
Is not available, use an ordinary tea.
kettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa.
ter, put in half teaspoon Of VapoRub
from time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
Note-vick's vapoRub is the dis.
covery of a North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine, in salvo
form, Menthol and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Gu.
bebs. ETC., so that when the salve Is ap'
piled to the body heat, these ingredi.
ents are liberated in the form Of va.
pOrs. r..
VapORub Is comparatively new In
New York State and New England and
a few Western states where 1t Is just
now being introduced, but in other sec
lions of the country it is the standard
home remedy in more than million
homes for all forms of cold troubles.
Over six million Jars were sold last
year. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists. It Is particular
~ recommended for children's Group
and colds, since it is externally applied
and therefore can be used MS freely as
desired without the slightest harmful
effects.

Net Returns to Farmer.
Where a leguminous crop can be
properly harvested and fed to live
stock, and the resultant manure can
be returned in good condition to the
land, the net returns to the farmer
usually are greater than where the
ero1 is turned under directly as fer
Hlizer. Factors which determine
whether a crop should be plowed I'M
der or fed are: () The richness and
physical condition of the soil, (2) char
kcter of the crop at the time it is ready
to cut, (3) lack Of live stock to con-
sumo the crop, (4) the price Of hay
and the local value of manure. The
problem Of what disposition each farm
or should make Of green cover crops
is one for individual solution, as each
man must make his own decision In
this regard in accordance with his To-
cal condition. 49,. e.. ..-.e-.-.
A. green-manuring crop should be
tErned under at least two weeks before
the next crop is planted. In blowing
down the catch crop, the furrow slice
should be laid slanting, at an angle of
80 to 40 degrees with the horizontal.
Directly after blowing, the field should
be rolled thoroughly, as this hastens
decay and prevents the drying out OF
the soil. ~. 49, II
The principal green-manuring crops
which are now I'm extensive use include
crimson clover, sweet clover, burr Glow
er, soy beans, cowpeas, velvet beans,
vetches, Canadian field peas, and rye.

HoMING PIGEONS COST LESS
THAN ANY OTHER SOLDIERS
IN SERVICE OF UNCLE SAM

Someone has calculated that 1t
costs Uncle Sam about $1,000 to train
and equip soldier and make him
ready for the firing line. In the Uni
ted States army at present, notes the
New York Herald, there is on little
warrior who costs just cents at the
outset and needs only few cents
more a day for upkeep, but who, be-
cause of proven efficiency, is now
slated for a trip to France and a
place in the fighting line.
The little soldier was one of the
homing pigeon exhibits of the United
States government entered at the re,
cent poultry show in Madison Square
Garden. 1t was originally the prop
,erty of Mai. Frank j. Griffin, who
sold it to the government for the
nominal price of five cents. Major
Griffin is in command of the pigeon
section of the army, and because it is
not customary or proper for Uncle
Sam to compete for prizes, he en-,
tered the bird and had the satisfac.
tion of seeing it carry off the first
award in it's class and also the blue
ribbon for the best young hen homer
in the show.
Than the government homers no
section of the show attracted more
general attention. Officers from the
armies of Great Britain and France
were especially interested in the ex'
hibit, and a khaki-clad warrior ap
preached Major Griffin to explain
how on one occasion on the western
front his life and that of his entire
battalion had been saved by nothing
more than a little homing pigeon
which had got out with its message
telling of the precarious predicament
of the soldiers in the front trenches
and enabling re-enforcements to be
hurried up just in the nick Of time.
