MRS. sINDA RANDOLPH

Mrs. JSinda Randolph departed this
life Sept. 10, 1918, aged about Sc
years. She leaves nine children and
host of friends to mourn her loss.
She was woman of lovely disposi-
tion and ready with smile and kind
words for all. She will be greatly
missed by all who knew her. She
had been sick for some tirae and
the dark and lonely hours
of the night and the long, dreary
days a faithful watch was kept 0v
her bedside. Her remains were laid
to rest in the West cemetery. We
know that we shall never more he
greeted BY her pleasant smiles in
this life, but God doeth all things
well. NEOMIA LEE

USE NINE RUN COAL

TO the People OF tennessee:
At the present time it lis much cas-
ier to get mine run coal than lump.
Run of the mine costs less than the
lump and gives more heat in furnac-
es than lump. I strongly urge those
having furnaces to lay in only run
of mine coal. In doing this they will
be saving money and also helping
the war situation. WE. MYER,

STORING VEGETABLES FOR
WINTER.

Beets. carrots. parsnips, turnips and
cabbage keep best at a low tempera-
ture in a fairly moist atmosphere and
without much circulation Of air. Po-
tatoes require about the same tempera-
ture as these crops. but should have
more complete ventilation.
Where potatoes were stored in large
quantities for seed purposes the floor
was concrete. On this by 4 inch
scantling were laid about Q feet apart
on the concrete flooring to form the
bottom Of the bins. Across the scan
Ting heavy planks inches wide were
laid, with about III inch space between
, the planlss.s The scantling kept the
planks off of the floor and permitted
the air to circulate up through the
piles of potatoes.
Ventilators were made Of inch stun
sawed 2h inches wide, and long, square
hollow tubes a foot square were made
of these, with spaces about an inch
between each strip. These were made
long enough to stand on the floor ant
reach up over the tops of the bins
Two or three of these were placed In
each bin to insure good ventilation, and

THE SECRET OF RED, WHITE
AND BLUE CORN.

At several places in New Jersey this
season ears Of corn bearing red, white
and blue kernels have been exhibited.
Some were announced as new varie-
ties. The latest exhibit was at Hale
don, N. j., under the name Of Liberty
corn, the grower claiming his method
of producing the colored ears to be a
secret
The method of producing red. white
and blue kernels on ears Of corn is not
new. The phenomenon is called xenia.
Simply stated: IL pollen from blue flint
corn Is transferred to the silks of
white dent corn the effect Of the pollen
will be apparent the same year the
cross is made. The silks are carefully
divided and the shoot protected by a
gauze bag. About two days later the
pollen from blue flint corn Is placed
on one part Of the silks, the others
being carefully protected with oiled
paper In about forty-eight hours more
the pollen from white dent corn is
placed on other silks. Later pollen
from red dent corn is applied to the
balance Of the silks. A blue kernel will
appear everywhere a silk received
pollen from a blue flint; a white kerr
mel will appear everywhere the silk re-
ceived pollen from the white dent and
SO with the red kernels. BY taking
sufficient trouble many rings or bands
and stripes of color can be obtained.

MAXIM TRACTOR.

The Maxim efficiency worm drive
tractor will be demonstrated Saturday.
Oct. 10. at Hampstead. L. l.. on Fulton
street in field of stiff sod owned by
the Garden City Company.
The demonstration Ia in charge OF
the Farm Bureau Of Mineola and sew

be exhibited.
The Maxim is new idea in trac-
tors. It has twenty-one sets of rollers
and roller bearings. with autotype
transmission. The model G delivers

drive.
The manufacturers claim and are
prepared to demonstrate that the
Maxim tractor will do more work in
the field. on the road or at the thresh-
ing machine, sawmill or filling the silo
| than any other tractor.
The Maxim tractor is built to pull
three IA inch plough bottoms at the
rate of az miles an hour or 10 to IL
acres q day. One man with a Maxim
| tractor and a three bottom Oliver
plough will do the work Of three three
horse teams and three men and dc

The Maxim is compact, has low

pany is at 100 Broadway.

HOMEMADE REMEDIES.

To make a good powder for lice on
chickens mix three parts gasolene and
one part crude carbolic acid with as
much plaster Of paris as the liquids
will moisten. Allow the material to
dry for a few hours and then place
the powder in alright containers. The
powder should not be mixed or placed
near a flame. 1t is necessary to hold
the fowl while busting and care should
be taken to work the dust into the
feathers thoroughly. Ten pounds of
the mixture will treat $50 mature
birds.
The head louise, which lives particu-
larly on little chickens, has been exter-
minated in experimental trials at the
Ohio Experiment Station with mer-
curial ointment or "blue butter" This
contains about so per cent. of metallic
mercury. which kills the head lice.
Mercurial ointment is stiff substance
and should be mixed at the rate Of
one part to two parts of vaseline to
apply easily. A bit OF the mixture
the size Of a pea applied with the
tip of the finger and rubbed into the
feathers about the head will destroy
the lice. 1t should not be used too
freely.

pink and flesh, shades never seen
among the herbaceous peonies form
sight beautiful to behold. No wonder
the Orientals call them, "Hwa- Wang
king Of Flowers"
This brings me to the answer oil
the third question: Why do the buds
often fail to develop out OF doors
Simply because the tree peonies be-
gin to grow so early in spring ano
grow so rapidly that the soft young
growths and buds are often caught by
freezing weather in late spring, which
Injuries the half formed buds.
Planted on a northern exposure
where early growth is checked Of
where they are protected by trees oil
shrubs from the direct rays OF the
morning sun while the buds are frozen
they bloom profusely and are sure tt
replace the trouble of giving the bud:
the protection of a covering or paper
an old blanket or box during the occa
sion Of belated spring freeze. They
bloom the end Of April and the be-
ginning of May, which makes them
month earlier than the ordinary
peonies.
They are easily forced in the green
house. Even some plants in six Incl
pots bloom with certainty. proof thai
failure out Of doors is due entirely
TO the injury of the buds by late
frosts.
Seeds sown as soon as they riper

be allowed to freeze, being brought

terminate freely and form blooming
plants in four or five years, producing
q great variety Of shades as beautiful
az the best named varieties and with
the same advantage Of being abso-
lutely on their own roots.
Tree peonies are the best planted
from the middle of September until
the middle Of November. Planting
may also be done very early in the
spring. They are gross feeders ano
like a rich soil, but under no circum-
stances sheuld fresh manure ever be
allowed to come in direct contact will
the roots or with the stems above
ground. Well rotted manure can bt
worked into the ground at some dis
lance from the stems. and any mulch
consist Of loose clean straw or coarst
leaves.
An ideal method OF protecting II
severe climates is to fill them up will
earth in the fall, the same as is Gus
| tomary with roses.
Recently a new species Of tire,
peony with deep yellow flowers
| "Peony Lutea." has been introduces
from China. This has been crosses
with other tree peonies, producing wv
beautiful new hybrids, up. La Lor
