PLANS TO BUILD
STORAGE HOUSES
Wooden Structures Are Prefer
able Because Cheaper and
Easier to Keep Dry.
ALLOW CIRCULATION OF AIR
sDuqout" ls Not Satisfactory on Ae-
count of Moisture-Foundat May
Be In the Form Of Pillars
or Solid Walls.

Erom the United States Department Of
Agriculture)
Sweet-potato storage houses may De
built Of wood, brick, hollow tile, &C.
ment, or stone. Wooden houses are
preferable, because they are cheaper
and easier to keep dry than the other
types. It is difficult to keep moisture
from collecting on the walls OF a &C.
ment. stone, or brick house. Where
such houses are built for sweet-potato
storage they should be lined with lum-
Der so as to keep the air in the house
from coming in contact with the ma
sonry walls. 1t is best to build sweet
potato storage houses on foundations
that allow a circulation of air unoer
them. The "dugout," or house built
partly under ground, Is not satisfac-
tory for storing sweet potatoes IN the
South, because 1t Is practically 1mpos-
sible to keep this type Of house dry, ana
moisture in the storage house Will
cause the crop to rot.
Foundation Of House.
The foundation of the storage house
may be in the form Of pillars or sollo
walls and should be Of such a height
that the floor is about on the lever
of the bottom of the wagon bed, while
the footings should be carried below
the frost line or to solid ground. Giro
ers by 10 or 8 by 8 inches in size
are usually placed on the pillars.
Where cement, brick or stone
foundation walls are built, they should
extend IS to 20 inches above the
ground level; and plates 2 to inches
thick and s to 10 inches wide should
be placed on the wall. In using walls
for the foundation it Is necessary TO
provide means for ventilation under
the house. This can be done by plac-
ing small windows in the foundation
every 10 to II feet. Even where solid
outside foundation walls are used it is
advisable to use pillars for the cen
ter supports. The rows Of pillars
should be not farther apart than
to 10 feet.
The space between the walls should
be left open, because any material used
to keep out the cold will absorb moist
ure. Many storage houses have been
built with sawdust, shavings, or SIM
liar material between the walls. but
this practice should never be follow
ed. Sawdust will take up moisture
and when once wet will never dry out.
This moisture will keep the house damp
and cause the walls to rot. The air
space is a good insulator If the walls
are made tight.
Ventilation 10 Important.
Thorough ventilation is necessary In
a storage house. This is provided by
means of windows, doors, and ventila-
tors in the floor and through the roof.
The openings in the floor around the
stove prevent overheating the pota-
toes near the stove. The bottom of the

Success in beekeeping depends on
the beekeepers skill in two lines Of
effort. First, he must see to 1t that
every colony Is strong in numbers at
the beginning of the period when nee
tar is secreted. This is often not ac-
complished, for If the colony is weak
ened by poor care in winter the secre-
ton of nectar may begin so early in
the season that the bees have not time,
without aid, to gain sufficiently in
strength. An example is found in the
white clover region, where nectar Sc
erection usually begins about June 1,
and most beekeepers lose much Of the

ment. In the alfalfa region many col
onies fail to get nectar from the first
crop from the same cause, even though
this often comes in July. 1t Is evident,
therefore, that q failure to provide
proper care in winter and spring may
result In almost total failure. This
one factor is responsible for heavy
losses which should be guarded
against at this time.
In order to obtain strong colonies
in time for the honey flow, the bee
keeper must see that every colony Is
sufficiently strong in bees the previous
fall to winter successfully. This can
be done by leaving plenty of stores for
the bees to feed on, and space for
breeding. The bees also require pro-
lection from cold and wind during the
winter. This applies also to the care
of bees in spring. for at this time they
should have abundant food and pro-
lection. The failure to take the proper
care Of bees in winter and spring Is
source of the greatest loss now expe-
rienced by beekeepers, and this ap-
plies to almost all parts Of the United
States; yet it Is a simple matter to
protect the bees from wind and cold.
To do so will put more dollars In the
farmers pockets and more bees in his
hives.
A second and in some regions an
equally important, consideration Is
keeping the colonies from swarIning.
Where colony divides itself into two
parts by swarming, neither part Is able
to gather as much surplus honey for
the beekeeper as the original colony
might have done The old-time bee
keeper counted his success by the num-
Der of swarms which issued, but the
modern beekeeper realizes that unre-
stricted swarming is one of the great
est sources of loss. To prevent swarm
ing entirely, or even to handle swarms
so as to overcome this source of loss,
the beekeeper in some regions, whtfe
in others the problem is almost absent.
No infallible method Of swarm proven
ton has been found, owing probably to
the fact that the cause Of swarming Is
not yet known in spite of the strenu-
GUS effort to solve this mystery of the
hive. However, practical methods Of
prevention and control have been
evolved, so that in profiting by the
work of others beekeeper can largely
overcome this difficulty. Unless the
beekeeper realizes the necessity of
having colonies strong in time for the
nectar and of keeping up this strength
by every means at his command, his
beekeeping endeavors will fail to yield
the greatest proft-a condition which
is particularly undesirable at this
time.

Athlete and Soldier.

General Sir Henry Rawlinson, the
commander of the British Fourth
army, which has recently been rem
dering such conspicuous service. was
one of the late Lord Kitchener's clos
est and most intimate friends.
I once heard Sir Henry relate q
story concerning a major who, sent to
inspect an outlying fort, found the
commander intoxicated. He immedi.
ately locked him up; but the bibulous
one managed to escape, and, making
his way to the nearest telegraph Office,
dispatched the following message to
no less a parsonage than the Colonial
secretary: MAN here named --s'

Did New Zealand editors, when in

there the idea of colonizing New Zea-
land had it's birth. 1t was while serv-

heiress that Edward Gibbon Wakefield
thought out scheme Of colonization.

The result was the formation of So

erecian Building Materials.

Brick is the most common kind of
building material in Saloniki and in all
New Greece. Wooden structures are
rare. on account of the shortage of
timber. Stone is little used, except
for underground walls and founda-
lions. Ordinary walls are built with
both plain and hollow bricks. The
former, being more solid, are generally
used for the building of lower stories,
while hollow bricks are commonly en-
pIoyed in the upper stages. The prin-
cipal kind of roofing used is made of
fiat thing.

HOME STORAGE is ESSENTIAL
Especially of Importance When Price
of Suitable Containers Is
Unusually High.

prepared by the United States Depart

Home storage is of importance at all
times, but especially so II the price OF
suitable containers for use In canning
and drying is high. Crops OF suitable
sorts that mature at a season when
they can be preserved by storing should
be kept in natural CONDITION instead
Of being canned or dried.
