Store Vegetables Properly And Avoit
Waste.

Sweet potatoes may be kept until
January, if cleaned, dried and packed
in chaff so that they will not touch
one another.
Potatoes are kept without difficulty
in a COOL dry and dark place. Sprouts
should not be allowed to grow in the
spring.
Carrots, parsnips, and turnips, etc.,
remain plump and fresh if placed in
dirt or sand-filled boxes on the cellar
floor.
Pumpkins and squash must be
thoroughly ripe and mature to keep
we'll. They should be dried from
time to time with a cloth and kept,
not on the cellar floor, but on a shelf,
and well separated.
Cabbages should be placed in bar
rels, with the roots uppermost.
Celery should be neither trimmed
nor washed, but packed, heads up, in
long, deep boxes, which should then
be filled with dry earth.
Tomatoes may be kept until Janu-
airy, If gathered just before frost,
wiped dry, and placed on straw cover
ed racks in the cellar. They should
be firm and well-grown specimens
not yet beginning to turn. AS they
ripen they must be taken out for table
use. and any soft or decaying ones
must be removed.
Apples, il for use during the au-
tumn. may be stored in barrels; but
If they are to be kept until late win
ter or spring they must be of variety
known to keep well and they must be
hand-packed and without blemish or
bruise. They should be wiped dry
and placed with little crowding on the
shelves in the cellar. AS a further
precaution they may be wrapped sep
arately in soft paper.
Pears may be kept for a limited
time in the same way, or packed in
sawdust or chaff, which absorbs the
moisture that might otherwise cause
molding

Improving Farm Kitchens

County tours are being utilized to
raise the efficiency and comport of
kitchens of the country. In Van
derburg County, Ind, carrying $50
people visited six homes on one tour.
A kitchen planned scientifically was
used as a model by the home demon
stration agent to compare with others
less convenient. Suggestions were
made as to how the inefficient kind
might be readjusted or changed,
with the expenditure of a little mon
ey, to become a comfortable work
room for the housewife.

WHEN OUR BOYS
COME HOME
How u. s. viii Provide For
Returning Heroes OF
Great War.

An army officer has asked the
question: What will become of the
men Of our army after the war;"
Perhaps there may be elements of
uncertainty about some features OF
the after-war situation, but there is
not the slightest doubt that every
American who has served his country
in the army. navy, or Marine Corps
during this awful war will be treated
royalty when he leaves the service.
OF course the vast majority will
return to the positions which they
left when they enlisted. In most
cases they will be welcomed back to
their old places and doubtless in
many cases they will be given even
better positions in reorganization OF
their invaluable services.
Civil War veterans were given spe-
cial preference in connection with all
~ the enormous number of govern
mental civilian positions available,
and like preference will doubtless
be shown the veterans OF this war by
the government and also by CONNER
cial concerns of all kinds.
Then. too. there will no doubt
shortly be formed huge association
of the veterans OF the great World
War. similar to the old Grand Army
of the Republic. but much more ex-
tensive and powerful than that noted
Civil War organization. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the G.. a. r.. for more
than forty years. was one of the most
powerful factors in the business and
governmental affairs of the country,
electing congressman and Presidents
OF their choice and securing the
passage of many private and gen
eral laws for their benefit. The con-
cessions were gladly made notwith-
standing the fact that they were vet
Grams of the armies of only the north
ern section OF the country. How
much mere cordial and extensive then
will be the reorganization that is given
the millions OF our heroes or this
great war when they return to civil
life? Nothing is too good for them,
and they wifi be given to understand
that, having saved the world from de-
4 struction. II belongs to them.
q there is any question about the
matter at all It is not as TO whether
the returning soldiers will be proper
Iy provided for in every way after the
war but rather whether there will be
anything worth having left for the
req of us after we get through doing
for these millions of heroes all of the
things we want to do and will insist
upon doing for their happiness and
welfare when they come back home.

RED CROSS.

A countrywide organization OF
Home Service work is imperative.
Division Director Fieser advocates
a committee of five workers in each
section. a business man, an attorney,
a physician, a tactful house-keeper
and a woman free from other duties,
to act as executive secretary.
This committee should meet fire.
quently to plan the work.
1t should consult with county Of
ficials to select committeeman for
each district, who will be instructed
in Home Service duties.
Mr.. Fieser urges Home Service
workers to know all the social agen--
cies such as educational forces,
churches, unions and fraternities in
order to secure the aid of the organi
cations which have a vital interest in
any given family.
More than a quarter of million OF
articles classed as hospital supplies,
were provided by the department of
Military Relief, Lake Division, Ameri-
can Red Cross, to Camps Sherman
Taylor and Fort Benjamin Harrison
for use in the recent epidemic of in
fluenza and pneumonia, according to
a partial report just made by Edward
b. Greene, division director of Mill
tary Relief.
The statement that in these three
military establishments the normal
capacities of the base hospitals are
for 1920 patients and that at one
period in the epidemic there were less
than 16,167 cases of flu and pneu
monia, makes it clear why the Red
Cross was given the opportunity TO
supply the following for use at Sher-
man, Taylor and Harrison.
1900 bed sheets, 100 towels.
SO. 900 masks, 1000 wash cloths, A.
500 handkerchiefs, 1900 pillow
case, 5000 pajamas, $500 pillows,
100, 900 paper napkins, $4,000 paper
cups, medicines and medical supplies
as needed.
This list does not include supplies
sent by this Red Cross department
for Camp Wright, McCOok Field,
Fort Thomas, Columbus Barracks and
to the army vocational schools at
Ohio State University, University OF
Indiana, Kentucky State University.
Perdue University and the Indiana
Deaf and Dumb institute at Indiana
polls.
Red Cross supplies made 1t posi-
BILE to increase the capacity of the
hospital at Harrison from one for 25e
to one for 100 patients, in less than
twenty-four hours. The Red Cross
also arranged for the establishment
of diet kitchen at this hospital.
At Taylor the Red Cross house was
converted into quarters for nurses
and a nearby building was transform
ed into quarters for the handling Of
relatives of men critically i'll.
AT Sherman more than 400 grief
stricken relatives of critically III
soldiers were fed daily by the Red
Cross at free canteen and for time
100 soldiers were given shelter each
night in the Red Cross house thai
normally provides sleeping quarters
for twelve. Red Cross automobiles
transported visitors back and forth
between the base hospital and the
Red Cross house without cost to the
riders.

Breed Better Horses, Specialists Adj
vises.


According to reports received by
he United States Department of Agri-
culture, the situation in the horse
breeding industry reveals the fact
that there are many nondescript and
plug horses Cutting the markets.
This condition, it is believed, eff
fects the horse industry in general
The real good animals are still com
manding satisfactory prices, but the
misfts are being sold for considera bly,
less than the cost of production. The
saving of additional feed bills is said
to be the motive which prompts the
producer to dispose of this class of
horses regardless of price. One of
the conclusions which the Department
of Agriculture draws from the present
situation is that indiscriminate breed
ing horses is an Improbable enter
prise. 1t is essential, the Depart
ment specialists add, that farmers
use wise discrimination in selecting
the proper type of stations with
which to mate their best mares and
thus materially aid in producing only
efficient horses which are capable of
giving the service required of them
and which consume less valuable
feed for the amount of work perform
ed. Such horses have a ready
market and always bring good prices.
1t is imperative that the breeder who
proposes to compete with the domes-
tic and foreign demands after the war
should begin now to stock up his
stables with desirable better-bred
horses.

Potato Yield Increases 80 Per Cent
Per Acre.

Potato Yield Increases 80 Per Cent
Per Acre.
The yield of potatoes per acre is
gradually increasing in this country,
as shown by the records of the Blu
reau of Crop Estimates of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
During 1S66-1S74 the average annu-
al yield per acre was 81 bushels, but
the average markedly declined to IL.
bushels in 1SS5-1S94 Perceptible
recovery was made in the following
10 year period and a much larger re-
covery rising to a new high-water
mark, was reached in 1905-1S14,
with it's average yield of 81 bushels
per acre.
In 20 years the productivity of the
average potato acre increased SO per
cent. This increase is due to various
causes, among which are greater spe-
cialization of production, more in
tensive treatment, and higher fertili-
ty of the soil. The 10 year average
yield of 81 bushels per acre in 1906
1914 was followed by 96.3 bushels in
1915. sos bushels in the very low
year 1916, and zoos bushels in 1917.
Compared with population the
yield per acre declined from 1866
1874 to 1905-1914. The gain of pro-
duction per capita in recent years has
been more because of increased
acreage acreage that because of in
creased production per acre.

Feeding Racks For sheep.

Combination hay and grain racks
are probably the most convenient for
feeding small lots of sheep. The
opened rack is suitable for use in
barns where feeding can be done by
passing directly from the feed alley
to the rack. thus obviating the diff
culties which follow from entering
pens filled with sheep. Some shep-
herds prefer a rack with closed sides
instead of Stats; such rack requires
that the hay be eaten through an
opening at the bottom.
