| heat and cold, a wefl-drained site being
essential. 1t is usually not advisable
to excavate more than inches, max
Ing the pit long and narrow rather
than square In shape. 1t Is inadvisa-
BILE to store a large bulk of potatoes
in one pit.
The potatoes are stored over light
layer of straw on the floor, while the
pile is insulated against cold and heat
by covering the spuds with alternate
layers of straw or hay and soil. Dur
ing the late fall, as the weather grows
colder, more straw, as well as more
soil, should be added to form protec-
tive overcoat for the potatoes. Each
layer of straw when compacted should
be approximately six inches thick,
while the final layer of soil should be
six to eight inches deep, depending up
on weather conditions. Ventilation
may be provided by means of wooden
flue, the lower end Of which extends
almost to the bottom Of the pit, while
the upper end should project well
above the covering, the valve being
equipped with a wooden cap to pre-
vent the entrance of rain or snow, and
also in order that 1t may be closed en-
tirely during very cold weather.
A pit of this sort when well made
will provide perfect protection for the
potatoes until spring, the objection to
1t being that the potatoes stored there
in are not always accessible during the
winter.
In regions where rainfall Is slight,
dugout potato cellars are commonly
used, 1t not being necessary to provide
these buildings with water-tight roofs.
Usually the pit or "hog back" as 1t Is
called, Is placed on short, narrow
ridge Of land which permits of easy
approach and central driveway into
the pit at the grade line. 1t Is neces-
sary to brace such potatoes by means
of posts and plates In order to prevent
cave-ins. Some Of the pits are more
| expensive and substantial, with the
| side and end walls made of concrete.
Generally 1t Is advisable to have the
storage cellars or pits equipped with
some system Of artificial lighting.
Central Driveway In Cellar.
The storage cellar is usually provid-
ed with driveway entrance and Is
considerably wider than the cellars
without driveways, which often are
only II to 80 feet wide. the entire space
being used for storage purposes and
the floor being either dirt, wood or con-
crete. Some Of the best storages have
driveways through the middle with bins
on either side, tho driveway being an
earthen one with the storage bins hav-
ing ventilated wooden floors laid on
joists placed at right angles to the
driveway and thus furnishing an I'M
restricted circulation of air beneath
the bin.

SELECT POTATOES FOR SEED
Grower Cannot Expect to Get Maxi

Best Time at Harvest.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The custom Of using as seed potatoes
left from the previous seasons crop,
after having disposed Of the best, must
be discontinued II the present quality
and yield Of the crop is to be material
ly improved, say specialists Of the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture.
The grower cannot expect to get max
imum yields from inferior seed stock
any more than the dairyman can expect
to get maximum milk yields from scrub
cows. The best time to select seed po-
tatoes. according to the specialists. is
in the fall when the crop Is being har-
vested. Then the yield of the indi-
vidual plant and the quality Of the tu-
bers can be considered.
Good seed Is pure In respect to the
variety; is produced by healthy, vigor-
Gus, heavy-yielding plants grown I'M
der favorable climatic conditions; Is

form in size and shape; firm and sound.
The first sprouts should begin to de-
velop at planting time.

Standardized white Plymouth Rock

From the standpoint Of meat pro-
duction, this upgrading work should
be extremely profitable to the aver
age farmer as the investigations show
conclusively, that the Introduction Of
superior blood into the flock by the
utilization Of standardized male
increases the meat-producing and size
increasing ability of the progeny. II
the progeny Of grade hen, united
with n standardized male, will weigh
one and one-half to two pounds more

Flowing with tractors presents some

ing and finishing the work. The meth
DDS in general use are divided into
two classes-those in which the plows
arc elevated and no blowing is done
across the ends, and those In which
the plows are left in the ground con-
tinuously. In most cases better plow-
ing can be done when the plows are
idle across the ends of the fields, and
for this reason the methods of this
class are more popular, but many
farmers prefer the other methods, as
they eliminate waste of time and Ia
Dor.
Plowmen using tractors wish to re-
duce to minimum the time spent

some travelling while the plows are
idle, care should be taken not to do
too much Of It, as 1t reduces the num-
Der Of acres which can be plowed In
day, making the tractor that much
less efficient. Short turns, however, are
awkward for most tractors, and where
such turns are necessary the operator
often has more or less difficulty In
getting the outfit in the correct posi-
ton for starting into the new furrow
ut the right point. Some tractors turn
more easily in one direction than 9TH
ers, and this should be taken into con-
sideration In laying out the fields.
Advantages Summarized.
The advantages Of blowing by the
methods In which the plows are Idle
across the ends Of the fields are that
the short, awkward turns are elm
mated, except In some cases at the be
ginning and ends Of the lands, and
usually less spaces will be left at the
corners to be plowed with horses. The

LOCATION OF POULTRY HOUSE
Building Should Face South to Afford
Ample Supply Of Sunlight
Throughout Year.

prepared by the United States Dep. 1T
ment OF Agriculture)
Select location for poultry house
that has natural drainage away from
the building. A dry, porous soil, such
as sand or gravelly loan, Is preferable
to clay soil.
In most localities the building should
face south, which insures the most
sunlight throughout the year. Allow
about three square feet Of floor space
to a bird. Proper ventilation and sum
light mean a dry house and healthy
birds.

Grading up"-a breeding practice
which has been fundamental in inn
proving dairy herds throughout the
United States-is just as applicable
for the betterment of poultry flocks,
which respond as rapidly to the intro
ductiOn Of superior foreign blood, par
dcularly by the use of standardized
males, as to dairy cows. Many u
farmer is deferred from the purchase
of standardized fowls at the Offset be-
cause, perhaps, his neighbor may tell
him that 1t is time and money wasted
to monkey" with standard breeds
when he can secure "just as good"
fowls in his immediate nelghborhood
at half the price.
The lust as good mongrel fowls
never give the results which come
from the use of well-bred stock.
Sooner or later, to his sorrow, the
poultry man ascertains this fact. Then
he Is DESTROYS Of working with stand
ard breeds, but he hesitates because
he doesn't like to sacrifice the fowls
he has on hand In order to purchase
quality birds.

Keeping should start with well-bred
foundation stock, but in case he begins
work with grades there still is an
opportunity for him to improve his

the fact that ii Is preferable to pur-
chase the standardized breeding stock

Grading Up Tested.
Specialists Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture have obtained
some interesting results In poultry
breeding work at the government ex-
detrimental farm, Beltsville, Nd, where
they have mated mongrel hens Of un-
known lineage with standardized
males. Up to the present the particu-
lar purposes Of these investigations
have been to increase the size and
weight as well as to improve the uni
formity Of type of the progeny. The
study will doubtless be continued to
cover egg production and the trans
