PROPER STORAGE WILL
{ SAVE SWEET POiAlviS
VALUE OF CROP OFTEN DE-
4 CREASED BY CARELESS METH
, obs OF HANDLING.
STORE IN WELL BUILT HOUSE
An Abandoned Tenant House Can
Very Often BE Utilized For
This Purpose.

Improper methods Of harvesting
and storing sweet potatoes are re-
sponsible for large losses which
greatly decrease the value OF n.
crop. according to A. F. kidder, pro
lessor OF agronomy, Louisiana State
University. I.ouisiana's sweet pota-
to crop for this year is estimated to
be 100000 bushels, and growers
would do we'll to take precautions
against undue losses through careless
handing.
Some Of the things to be observed
Ase - follows:
l. Potatoes should be thoroughly
mature before being harvested.
2. They should be handled careful
IL 10 Dreyent bruises, as such places
cause rot very quickly.
3. injured potatoes should not be
stored with sound ones
4. The potatoes should be sub
5ected to a temperature Of IS to IS
degrees Fahrenheit as soon as they
IRE put away, and the moisture con-
tent reduced to 10 per cent or less.
s. Potatoes should be stored in q
well built house, where the temper
sture can be kept uniform. This will
save a large per cent Of all good
sound potatoes, while the old bank
method usually causes a loss OF rs
TO 80 per cent. Old tenant houses
can often be utilized for that purpose.

DISPOSE OF THE
UNPROFITABLE HEN
csiIlna Should Be Done Frequently
and thoroughly.

After hens reach q certain age. de-
pending upon the way they have
been handled. they can no longer pro.
duce eggs profitably. Those which
are forced for heavy egg production
by the liberal use OF stimulants win
reach this stage quicker than the 9th
hrs. Whenever this stage Is reached
The hens should be marketed n soon
as possible.
4 pretty safe rule to follow with
the average nocks which have not
been treated with stimulants is as
follows: Dispose Of hens OF the light,
.o 49, breeds, such as Leghorns and
Anconas. as soon .. hey have passed
through their third laying se...-enh'
and dispose Of ill the medium weight
breeds. such as Plymouth Rocks,
Rhode Island Reds. Wyan4o&tss and
Drpisntons as soon q they have pass
ID through two laying seasons. At
the same time, discard ali younger
hens which have baggy ebdonens,
which have tendency to stay over
al, or which lack health or yiger In
any way
Tho culling should be done ire
Suently and thoroughly. It rarerly
pays to hold an old or a weak bird !
tor q better market. The quicker
they are sold the better. The average
flock should be thoroughly culled at
seast once a month. Such practice
will not materially reduce the output
Of the flock. but. on the other hand,
will greatly increase the profits by
reducing the required amount OF high
priced feed and labor.-A. F. Rolf,

NEW ENTERPRISE
Is ESTABLISHED
IN JULESBURC

A new enterprise for Julesburg is
company recently organized in this
city for the purpose of manufacturing
the Harrison Seed Potato Cutter and
other mechanical devices. This COM
pany has leased the building formerly
occupied by the Julesburg Garage, the
machinery installed, and everything
is now in readiness for active oper-
alton.
The principal work of the company
this season will be to manufacture the
Harrison Seed Potato Cutter, an in
vention of T. J. Harrison, for several
years contractor and builder in our
city. This machine has been
thoroughly tested for the past three
years, and necessary improvements
made to perfect it to a degree, that it
is no longer in the experimental stage,
but has been pronounced by several of
the prominent potato growers in this
section to be real necessity to the
potato grower in the matter of econo-
mizing On labor and reducing the cost
of planting potatoes. Mr.. Hafriso,
has spent eight years working on this
invention, and now has it to a point
where it is proving very practical.
The personnel of the company,
which assumes the name of the Gate
way Manufacturing Company, con-
sists Of some of the most prominent
business men and citizens Of Jules
burg, and this fact assures the enter
prise success along with the merits of
the devices which the company will
manufacture.
G. H. Austin, county judge of Sedg-
wick county, is the president; J. C.
Wagner, county treasurer of Sedg-
wick county, is Secretary Treasurer;
H. H. Hodges is general manager of
the manufacturing plant. Mr.. Hodges
is an expert machinist, having had
years of experience in various lines of
mechanical work, including manufact-
uring and foundry moulding, and
