The Home Garden

Potatoes are one of our most used
vegetables and should be carefully
stored, either if you have raised them
yourself or have bought them from a
grower or dealer. They NAV be
stored in cellars. or in pits out of
doors. They should be thoroughly
dry and carefully sorted, the small
ones and those showing signs of de-
cay being removed. They should be
so placed that the temperature is
even, and little or no light strike
them.
A small amount of light changes
their food value. Enough moisture
should be present to prevent whiting
but not enough to cause moisture to
collect on the surface. A tempera-
ture of 40 degrees is desirable.
Potatoes should not be washed be-
fore storing. If they begin sprouting
in the spring all the shoots should be
rubbed off. Do not have large bins
as they hinder ventilation. If thev
are stored outdoors, place in small
pits rather than one large one.

POLITICS BUNK SAYS
NEWSBOY CANDIDATE
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-"Politics is a
kind of feed bag for men with fancy
appetites"
That is the estimate of William Muir
ply, newsboy nominee for congress-
man at large from Illinois, who corn
b1nes campaigning and selling news
papers on one of Chicago's busiest
loop corners beneath the roaring
elevated line. Mr.. Murphy has sold
newspapers at the corner of Madison
and Wells streets for fifteen years.
"A lot of folks think it's a joke me
running for congress-" he observed,
commenting on his race. That's be-
cause there's a lot Of bunk in the
world and even good men have got to
feeling that you measure a guys in
tellect by the height Of his silk hat
and his integrity by the cost Of his
mahogany desk Well, | don't work
behind a roll-top desk and you don't
notice any water cooler on this corner.
Only A Feed Bag.
eve stuck around these corners for
fifteen years, and I've made money
selling newspapers, buying and selling
real estate, or anything that came
along and was on the square. I've got
enough money to take care of myself
and family-my father, mother, and
two kids.
"Now I'll tell you something. Poll
tics is full of bunk. A lot of guys put
on a swell front and lay hands on a

they figure on is mailing some JOB

The Farm and Farmer
Rv WILLIAM r. SANRoRN

More than 1000 head of hogs,
which weighed practically 100000
pounds, crossed the scales at Glen
Miller from October 4th to 9th. These
hogs cost the yards more than $4,000.
In the same days 100 veals, 68 lambs
and a carload of cattle also came in.
1t is noteworthy that on Friday and
Saturday of that week enough brood
sows cine in to load big car, this
showing how some farmers must view
the hog outlook, in spite of the ban
ner crop of corn. On the contrary
many farmers have been picking up
feeders at all sales. This reminds
us of a farmer who took fright last
sold every last pig on the place. He
best corn, also the greatest number Of
bushels he has grown in years, with
nary pig to feed it to, as he has not
been replacing his herd.
Spring Hogs Marketed
All live stock markets are beginning
to note the arrivals of spring pigs,
some of them being good handy
weights of the bacon type. The rec
ord weight on spring pigs at Glen
Miller was held by George Deter of
W lew udyo dSo,
when Norman Weatherby, of New
Paris, marketed 80 March and April
pigs that went over the scales at an
average of PIP pounds. 1t is not un-
likely that this record has been
eclipsed, or will be, during the present
week. These spring pigs are growing
older and heavier every day, of
course.
The Seed Corn Harvest
This is a good time to select your
seed corn says Harry Gilbert, and
we are getting ours in now. There
seems to be no barren stalks this sea
son, and the ears are the largest ever.
We make it a rule never to pick a
seed corn ear from a stalk near bar
rem one, but this time we have no
trouble on that score. 1t is surely a
great corn crop" Mr.. Gilbert expects
to start cribbing as soon as his seed
corn is selected That will be late
this week, although cribbing the entire
crop will not be rushed.
William Osborn. living east of BOs-
ton, states that he has $50 acres of
exceptionally fine corn, but even so lie
expects some of it to be soft" and
for this reason. A small percentage
day he found ears still in the milk, by
the side of some almost dry and hard
enough to shell. He laments that he
has but 10 head of hogs, and says he
should now have twice tsIat number
The local packing plant at Muncie,
a rather modest affair, has fallen into
new hands and is to be enlarged con-
siderably. 1t is said that improve
ments costing S150,00O are in prospect.
Corn Prices-CattIe Losses.
After figuring that it had cost cat
tie feeders from $12 to SIT per hun
dred weight to raise cattle in northern
Illinois, during the past two years
the United States department of agri-
culture figures that the cattle men
netted a profit of 512 per cent.
But listen, gentlemen, here is an
other chapter of the story, by the
same authority:
balancing what the farmers actual
ly received against what they might

Coolidge in Mountains

ON BOARD GOVERNOR COOL
IDGE'S SPECIAL TRAIN, Oct. 10
The special train bearing Governor
Coolidge and his political associates
on their campaigning tour of the Dor
der and southern states in behalf Of
his candidacy as the Republican can
didate for vice president, today pene-
trated the heart of the Kentucky
mountains.
Governors Coolidge. Morrow, of

dressed the audiences from the rear
platform at Mt. Vernon. London. Cor
bin, Barbourville, Pineville, Harlan
and Lynch, and tonight will speak
at Middleboro, completing the tour of
the state.
Upon beginning his second days
tour of Kentucky, Governor Coolidge
said that sentiment in the state as he
had observed it, was opposed to the
idea of the league of nations.
II have listened attentively to the
attacks made upon the league by Gov
ernor Morrow" he said, land l at first
thought that perhaps the people were
applauding a man for whom they have
a great liking, but from the best in
formation l have been able to obtain,
and from my own observations, l be-
lieve the people of Kentucky are op-
posed to the idea of the league"
