Storing Celery anI Cabbage

CELERY.-In storing celery we must, of course, consider the quantity to be stored, and the convenience which one may have or be able to have for such storage.
 If only small quantities are to be stored box of foot or more in depth and of convenient size may be used. Put about an inch of sand in the bottom of each box. Then lift the celery from the ground with roots still attached and trim off all broken stalks or diseased portions. The celery may be packed closely to- gether with roots on the sand and kept in. a cool moist celler.
 would not attempt to keep celery in a cellar room where there is a fur mace fire, as the air would be too dry
 For larger quantity an outside cellar, or trench may be used. Some large growers construct cellars al- most entirely above the ground, us- ing concrete walls. Over these place a roof. The cellar may be so con- structed that one can be able to drive in with loads of celery and may have either dirt or concrete floors. Some just put the plants of celery on these floors with no soil or sand beneath, unless it is a dirt floor. The best results have been obtained by pack ing the plants of celery in crates holding about four or five dozen stalks and these set on the cellar bottom, roots down.
 There are many who store celery in trenches. If one desires to store in this way he should secure a we'll drained place, digging a trench from two and one-half to three feet deep, perhaps three feet wide, and as long as would be required to hold the celery. In these trenches the plants after benig raised, are closely packed with roots down. After being we'll packed, and the trench filled with celery some covering of straw, marsh hay, or even cornstalks should first be used, and then above this a dirt cov- ering sufficient to protect it.
 CABBAGE.-The time has arrived for the storage of the late cabbage. About the most simple storage and a very successful one, is to pull the cab bage, leaving the roots attached, take them to some place fairly we'll pro- tected from sweeping winds, and af- ter few leaves, or tsraw has been placed on the ground, stand the cab bages, heads dow nwith all leaves left on, closely together. When all are in place cover over with leaves until the roots cannot be seen.
 If, after rain has come, these leaves settle enough so that the roots

cut farmers, as yet only partly real ized, is the splendid seed corn pro duced in this state, according to Henry L. Dorsey, agronomist for the Extension Service of Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs.
 Seed corn in considerable quant- ties has been going to Northern New England farmers to be usel in grow ing corn for silage, says MT. Dorsey. The buyers have been we'll pleased with this seed during the past two years and the reputation of Connec- ticut seed corn is being firmly estab- lished.
 1t is pointed out that farmers who desire to take advantage of this mar ket should be careful that only reh- able seed is sold. It is not enough that the seed be alive; it should have plenty of vitality. This means that seed should be quickly dried out and carefully protected from winter damage.
 If seed corn is so stored after d. r. ing that it takes up moisture, tn, is danger of freezing. A poor quality of seed is the result. Sales of h stock would breed dissatisfaction A..d bring the farmers of the state in.o bad repute.
 Farmers should see that their seed corn is stored for the winter in dry place where air circulation is not re- tarded. If the seed is planted at home good results will be seen in the yields. If sold, good seed helps estab- fish the reputation of Connecticut seed corn.

date, and so states in his application. Of course it is necessary that he tender the two months premiums on the amount of insurance he wishes to reinState.
 Service men who reinstated their insurance by payment of all back premiums prior to July 25, 1919, when the decision requiring payment of only two months premiums went into effect, upon written application to the Bureau may have any premi- ums paid in excess of two applied to- ward the payment of future premi- ums. For example, if after policy had lapsed for six months, a man re- instated and paid six months premi- ums instead of two, he may secure credit for four months premiums.
 The provisions for, reinstatement i do not protect a man until he actu- ally reinstates. If he waits he may not be in as good health as he was at the time of discharge and consequent ly may not be able to secure rein statement.

 In order to give all former service men whose insurance has lapsed or been cancelled, fair chance to rein state their insurance, including men who have been out of the service eighteen months or more, and who are therefore barred from reinstate- ment under the former ruling, a special blanket ruling is made which allows all ex-service men to reinstate their insurance before December 31, 1 1919, provided that each applicant is in as good health as at date of discharge or at expiration of the grace period, whichever is the late,

NEW RULINGS
Regarding Soldiers Insurance That
 Has Lapsed

A series of decisions issued by the Director of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury provides more liberal conditions for reinstate- ment of lapsed or cancelled insurance
 The provisions of Treasury Deci- sion No. AZ, allowing eighteen months from the date of discharge for rein statement upon payment of only two months premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated, are retain ed. That decision is liberalized, how ever, by new provision that men out of the service are permitted to reinstate by merely paying the two months premiums without making a statement as to health at any time within three calendar months follow ing the month of discharge.

Earn S4 Per Hen

VT Il CA HhGA
 Elever boys of Goshen, Conn., started out November 1, 1918, to earn $1,000 profit in one year from their fiocks of hens. They finished the experiment November 1 of this year and after checking up results find that they passed that mark con- siderably, earning $1,750.43 above feed costs.
 The number of hens in the eleven focks varied somewhat during the year but the average total each month of the year was 436 hens. This means that the boys made a profit of a little more than $4 above feed cost per hen.
 At the same time the Goshen boys launched their experiment, nine boys of West aHrtford entered into sim liar venture. AS some of these boys lived in suburban homes with limited facilities for keeping chickens, they owned fewer hens than the Goshen boys. The average total for each month was 200 hens. Although their total profits were but $784.55, their profits per bird were $3.92, but little less than that of the Goshen boys.
 Now the boys think they can beat their own record and both clubs plan to continue their work another year New members are being added to the clubs and it is probable that large mark will be set.
 The poultry clubs were organized through the Extension Service of Con- necticut Agricultural College. By teaching youngsters how to raise poultry and to care for other live stock and to grow farm crops, the Extension Service hopes to produce better farming in future. iCty boys are eligible to these clubs as we'll as farm boys. There is Farm Bureau in each county in the state that helps foster this work.

The constitutionality of chapter 1906.
section g. OF the Idaho complied laws
CHASING motor cars ana. trucks carry
ing freight and passengers as common

ator of a passenger motor car coming

to the district court were in turn APP
pealed today TO the state supreme court
for final settlement, the under courts
having held the law constitutional.
ALLEGE DISCRIMINATION.
In thor defense to the prosecution.
which was set up as test case, the
motor car operators contended that the
law is class legislation, since it pro-
vides that motor buses and freight
trucks must furnish a bond, while
railroads. street cars, interurban lines
and hotel motor cars, although COM
mon carriers within the meaning of the
act, are not required to furnish the
bond.
Again. whereas licenses are required
of motor cars and motor trucks carry
ing passengers and freight, the law ex-
cepts from this requirement all motor
vehicles used exclusively as hearses,
ambulances, hotel buses operating
solely between trains or automo-
biles or auto trucks used for carrying
United States mails on star routes
when actually engaged in carrying
such mail.
