THE DOUGHBOY TELLS
 THE WORLD HIS TROUBLES.

After I've slogged in the muck and

 After I've smel1ed the dawn; After I've looked on a land on fire. And an empire smashed and shorn, After I've gone on a soldiers path, Roaring and loose and free, Winning, by luck, through the pits
 own wrath.
 Do you think you can letter me? Think you can letter me down ask, To walls and files and ink; A shiny desk and a stiff-cuffed task In a city sans a drink? After I've harked to the big one
 break,
 Ducked to their jagged spray, Think you can thrill me with tea
 and cake
 And the charms of a cabaret? After I've known but the tent and
 deck
 Under hot stranger skies, Think you can collar my bull-nke

 Shoe me in toepinch size? Tie me, perhaps, to a house and wife Make me a shackled man Think you can get me to live that
 life?
 You bet your last centime--
 you can! By Stewart M. Emery, in The

Proper storage Of potatoes would
prevent much Of the annual loss in

take safeguards against spoilage.
Potatoes should be stored In a cool,
dark cellar or be buried in pit in the
garden. They must not be allowed to
freeze. II they are buried in pits the
potatoes must be covered sufficiently
to keep out all frost. If exposed to
the light they will turn green.

PROPER WAY TO APPLY MANURE TO LAND

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Late falf-any time before the
ground freezes-on most fe-ms is the
easiest time to provide for making the
most out Of the home supply Of manure.
And this year, when commercial fertil-
izers are high in price or impossible to
obtain. It Is dOubly essential that we
save every bit of the farm manure.
"Apply as fast as made" is the best
rule before the ground freezes, and
even later than that on level ground.
But in hilly sections the farmers
doubtless are right in thinking there
Is too much loss from the manure
washing down the hillsides after the
ground freezes, or on the snow. Then,
too, in the North the snow is some
times too deep for hauling to be prac-
ticable.
PIT for Storing.
Most literature on the subject Of pit
building for manure storage is based
on using concrete for material. While
this will usually pay If capital is avail
able, many farmers feel they do not
have the money to put into 1t. Fortu-
nately there are other ways that will
help greatly with little or no cash ex-
pense. If q roof is already available
under which to store the manure, the
ground should be leveled, or, better,
made to slope toward the center. Then.
If the soil is sandy or loamy, the sur
face should be removed to depth Of
six inches or SO and the heaviest clay
procurable put in. After spreading a

couple Of inches Of clay 1t should be
wetted and thoroughly tamped down.
This process should be repeated until
the desired height is obtained. The
outside rim may well be foot or more
higher than the center, this depending
on the size Of the pit and the case Of
access for hauling away the manure.
While such bottom wills hold much
Of the liquid, 1t is better to cover It
with some absorbent material-dry
loan Is good If bedding is scarce. Do
not use wood ashes, but coal ashes are
harmless IL screened. Continue to use
enough loan to prevent any liquid
from oozing from the pile, which
should be kept level, moist and well
tamped. Horse manure, unless mixed
with that from cows or hogs, should
be wetted thoroughly-but not enough
to drain out-in order to keep 1t from
heating, as heating causes heavy
loss.
Keep Under Roof.
IF there is no roof under which to
keep the manure, cheap one should
be built. This may be a one:slope
''lean-to" along the outside Of the
barn, cheap shed with sides, or SIM
ply four heavy. high posts on which
q roof slides up or down according to
the height Of the manure-such as is
used in some sections FOR outdoor hay.
stacks.
If you can't do all these things, do
what you can. It will help you and the
country not only during the war but
after the war. =

Good Feed for Stock.
Sugar-beet tops and pulp are good
feed for many kinds Of live stock in
Guiding chickens. hogs. sheep, cattle,
and, to some extent. horses. Gener-
ally, the tops and pulp are fed to
sheep and cattle. They may be pas
tured off, a process which consists in
turning the live stock into the beet
field after the beets have been har-
tops are left scattered over the
ground, and this method of feeding
results in the ground being more or
less trampled. Sheep especially are in.
clined to travel more generally in
paths, thereby trampling the ground
unevenly. In no case should the pas
turing Of the tops be permitted when
the ground is wet, since the ground
itself would be seriously injured by
trampling in that condition and many
Of the tops would be wasted by being
trampled into the ground. While live
stock thrives on beet tops and pulp,
other feed must be used in finishing
tho animals for the market. Beet
tops. especially the crowns, contain
considerable mineral matter, which is
beneficial to live stock, but 1t should
not be fed in too large quantities.
Aside from pasturing the tops, they
are sometimes allowed to cure partly
and are then gathered into piles,
hauled to Nthe feed yard and fed in
racks. This is much more economic
cal method than pasturlng, but 1t in
wolves the additional expense of gath
ering and hauling. The tops may also
be used as ensllage. When chopped
with straw, cornstalks or other rough.
age excellent silage is produced. Both

three runs are theoretically equivalent
to one cord. Actually they contain
