Different STORAGE
HOUSES NOW IN USE
Insulated Structure Best Adapted
to Southern Climates.
Aroostook Type With Concrete or
Masonry Basement Walls and
Wooden Superstrueture Is
Product Of Maine.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture.)
The insulated potato house is not
ter adapted to southern than to north
ern climates. The construction fea-
ture of such a house is the thorough
insulation of Its walls, ceilings, doors,
and windows. In northern locations
such a house must be heated by a
stove.
The Aroostook type Of storage house,
with concrete or masonry basement
walls and wooden superstructure, is
distinctively n product of Maine and
confined largely to that state. II is
expensive and is always located on
a side hill or knoll in order that adj
vantage may be taken of a ground level
entrance. The easements are usually
from 8 to u feet deep, and most of
them have a capacity of several thou
sand barrels. Generally the only pro-
vision for ventilation Is by t%rapdoors
in the floor through which the filling
Of the bins is completed. Occasional
ly a ventilator is found In the roof.
These houses. although practical In
Maine. will never supersede the dugout
pit or storage cellar now used In the
middle and far western states. Each
of these types Of storages has distinc-
tive features which peculiarly adapt 1t
to its own environment, but do not
necessarily preclude use in other To-
calities.
The artiiclally refrigerated potato
storage house is confined practically
TO the storage Of northern-grown seed
potatoes held In cold storage for sec
ond-crop planting In the South. There
is little demand for such a house in
northern sections, but II is thought
that community cold-storage plants Of
this type could be profitably used by
the southern truck growers, as they
could purchase their supplies OF seed
In the fall and have them delivered be
fore the arrival Of cold weather. The
seed potatoes could be stored through
out the winter in the house and be
available in excellent condition when
desired the following season.

COULDN'T MATCH THAT STORY
Senator Set Altogether Too Fast a
Pace for Even Veteran Bore
to Follow.

A senator was entertaining some
friends with stories about the Arizona
desert, when a bore Joined the party.
This bore was the kind Of a chap
that always laughs In the wrong place
and spoils a story by trying to guess its
climax. The senator undertook TO
silence him.
Poor Ferguson I" he said. THAT
was a close shave he had in the desert
last August"
"Sunstroke, of COURSE said the bore.
"No. not exactly" said the senator.
you see, Ferguson stumbled acct
dentally on the Cauldron-our famous
spring, you know. that gushes out OF
the rock at freezing point and imme-
tiately begins to boil from the fierce
heat of the SUM-"
"Of course, of course" said the bore.
And what happened to Ferguson? Did
he fall In the cauldron and boil to
death? Get on with your story, man.
Ferguson fell in" said the senator.
but he managed to scramble out
again. The peril, however, was not
yet over for him. Our Arizona air, you
see, Is so dry that 1t absorbs moisture
with astonishing rapidity. Well, the
boiling water in Ferguson's clothes
evapOrated so fast that the poor fell
low instantly frOze stiff"
II see" said the bore. "He died OF
cold. Well, that reminds me-"
mo, he didn't die" said the senator.
HE almost died, but he had a miracu-
lous escape. In his stiff-frozen state.
you understand, he began to shiver
with chill, and he shivered so hard
that in a few moments he became over
heated and would have succumbed to
sunstrOke If he hadn't p~rovidentially
broken into a cold sweat"

Thousands Of farmers who faced the
harvesting of a large hay crop last year
with fewer hands than usual to help do
the work owe their success in handling
and saving their crop to hay stackers.

horse fork is to putting hay In the barn.

hay on the stack by horse power in
stead Of man power. When hay is load
ed on the wagon by hand and unlOaded
by a stacker One-half of the hand labor
Is eliminated. If push rakes or hay
leaders are used in connection with the
stacker the labOriOus task of pitching
by hand is entirely avoided.

a stacker could be used to advantage
when 1t becomes necessary to stack,
especially where labor is scarce. A boy
who can drive a team can take the
place Of a man In the haying opera

er and stacker will handle about Is per
cent more hay for each man during a
day than a three-man crew loading and
unloading by hand.
Hay stackers are classed In two gen.
eral types, one having teeth oil which

The Bible and Women Pre.eher.L

The silo's the thing.


The early threshed barley usually

Soils that have no crop on them. or
