Correcting Impression That
New York Is Dangerous

That is an inequality which the committee
is planning to remedy. There were, says
story al in all, so many suicides in New York
last year. There were, rebuts the committee,
all in all so many who didn't commit suicide.
4 couple in taxicab were held up in Central
Park. Yes, but that very night so many more
couples passed through Central Park in taxi
cabs without any rude interruption. An in

BEST STORAGE OF POTATOES
Only Tubers Of High Quality Should
Be Put Into Cellar or Pit
Prevent Freezing.

If best results are expected by. stor-
ing potatoes, only potatoes of good
quality should be stored. Potatoes will
not improve in storage but are more
liable to go down In quality. Many
storage troubles are the result of poor
field conditions. Potatoes should be
left in the field few hours after dig
ging to permit them to dry. Immature
potatoes will have to be handled and
watched carefully.
Potatoes may be stored In open bins
in cool cellar or buried In the ground.
If stored in cellar, they should not
be piled more than foot deep. When
stored in layers deeper than this or In
sacks, there is more danger Of loss
from decay.
Potatoes may be buried In the
ground over winter. A shallow hole
about 6 to IL inches deep should be
dug and lined with about two inches Of
straw. The potatoes should be placed
in the hole and covered with straw
and four or five inches of soil. Ven-
tilation should be provided in the same
manner as for storing other root
crops. AS the weather gets colder,
place another layer of straw on the
mound and add sufficient soil to pre-
vent the tubers from freezing.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD MALES
So Much Attention 10 Paid to Hens In
cuIling Work That cockereIs
Are Overlooked.

In the culling work so much atten.
tion has been paid to selecting hens
that many have overlooked the equal.
If not greater. Importance OF selecting
good males. That the male is half the
flock is usually accepted as true.
Where the cockerels are already be-
Ing raised, 1t Is important that the
best be leg-banded or marked In some
way now, SO that they viii not be sold
or eaten by mistake. Where cockerels
have to be purchased, many Wide
awake farmers are buying now, thus
assuring themselves Of first pick from
the breeders flock, ard also getting a
much lower price than the same quail
ity Of males could be bought for after
they are mature. Such early pur.
chases are usually good business for
the buyer as well as the seller.

THE LARGE HAT is DOOMED
Broad, FIapping Headgear Must Give
Way to That Of Medium and
the Small Size.

Everywhere one hears great deal
about the large hat. In fact, manufac.
turers have placed so much Importance
on wide-brimmed models that women
are led to believe that the small hat
is about to pass from fashion. This
however. is not true, says fashion
writer in the New York Tribune. In
fact, the small hat win be far In the
lead as soon as the time comes to wear
coats with high, muf1ing collars.
One logical reason for the present
popularity of the wide-brimmed type
is that 1t is difficult to get away from
the midsummer models that so be-
comingly shadowed the face. Another
is the fact that the prevailing sill
houette always influences the shape
of hats. Long skirts require broad.
brimmed models, while short skirts re-
quire smaller ones. The momentary
craze for large hats might be attributed
to the sudden popularity Of long skirts.
Dressmakers already feel that they
cannot make the very long skirt a per-
manent fashion. Therefore the large
hat must give way to those Of medium
and small sizes.

FROM The ORIENT
Dresses and Wraps Embroidered
In Winsome Designs.
Arabs Costume Affords Color Insplra-
tlons; Originality and Charm Ap-
peal to Fashion Devotees.

Fashions are steadily becoming
more artistic than they have been for
many long years. Color, writes a
fashion correspondent In the New
York Tribune, is at last beginning TO
receive the attention which 1t de-
serves. Designers in their enthusiasm
are searching In unusual and hitherto
unthought-of places for inspiration.
A wave of Russian peasant art has
just swept the country. Before that
there was the Egyptian invasion, as
well as the Chinese, the Japanese and
the Spanish influence.
Now something new has appeared
in Paris in the form of dresses and
wraps embroidered by Algerian ma
tive workers in designs taken from the
Orient. These dresses have been put
on the market by several designers.
Each dress is seemingly as extraor-
binary as its inspiration, but 1t is
just its originality and Oriental charm
that will appeal to the fashion de
votee always In search of something
different.
If one is seeking color Inspiration
wonderful place to find 1t is in the
Arabs costume. The brilliant colors
that these dark-skinned people love
and wear so well are mellowed By the
scorching African sun until they have
become fabrics of rare beauty. Even
the tents Of these desert people are
striped in bold colors which have been
mellowed by time and the elements
to unusual and beautiful tones.
There are few women, no matter
how great their love of color. who

MANURE STORAGE
IS BIC PROBLEM
Not Always Convenient to Haul
Fertilizer Directly to Fields
for Distribution.
PLAN TO PREVENT LEAGHlNG
No Material Loss Sustained Where
Concrete Pit ls Employed--ln
Gases OF Heating Loss Of
Ammonia Takes Place.

In providing for the storage Of ma
nure during the periods when 1t Is i'm
practical to take 1t directly to the
fields for distribution the choice rests
between some form of shed, or over
head shelter, and some kind of a pit,
or reservoir. 1t may seem that these
quite different forms of storage imply
different theories in regard to ham
ding the waste, since one leaves the
manure exposed to the elements while
the other shelters and shields it from
rain and weather.
Temporary Storage.
In making provision for temporary
storage of manure two things are
sought. The first Is to prevent the
teaching away of soluble portions; the
second is to eliminate heating in the
manure pile by crowding out the air
with moisture so that the bacteria
which cause heating will be denied
ais from which they derive the oxygen
necessary for their work. Both the
pit and the overhead shelter accom-
plish the first of these. When a
concrete pit is used it makes no diff
ference whether the manure Is under
cover or not so far as teaching is con-
cerned. The soluble portions cannot
get away in either case. When an
overhead shelter is used, there will be
scant loss from teaching even If the
manure is not stored upon concrete
floor, since the litter will retain the
liquid portion of the excrement, while
the roof overhead will keep off the rain
which would cause the pile 20 leach.
Control Heat or Pile.
AS for the second objective-that of
controlling the heat of the pile-the
pit is supposed, theoretically, to take
care Of this automatically through the
rain that falls upon its exposed sur

of superior domestic animals. In fact,
1t ranks in Importance next to sales,
fairs and shows, taken collectively.
When parents show their interest In
good stock the children are more like
ly to do so,
One breeder told of receiving some
purebred live stock as a wedding gift
from his father-in-law. That beginning
was an important influence, which re-
suited in an entire herd of well-bred,
profitable animals, practical influ-
ence in the couples prosperity and
happiness.
Gifts of good live stock, the depart
ment points out, are not only accept

handling multiply and give pleasure,
satisfaction, and financial benefits for
an indefinite period.

CAPE SLEEVES ARE POPULAR
Flowing Armeovering ls-shown In
Many Fashion Houses; Gauntlet
Cuffs Are in Evidence.

Sleeves are varied and interesting
they are frequently long and fitted to
the arm, and they are often absent
entirely from dance frocks. They have
a penchant for being long, open and
hanging. Cape sleeves are popular in
many fashion houses, and frequently
we have the addition Of long, hang
ing cuff. Gauntlet cuffs appear on
models in nearly all collections. Worth
shows them, on black broadcloth
coat, made of bright embroidery and
lined with Hudson seal. Patou's new

face. To eliminate heating it is only
necessary to crowd out the air In the
waste by moisture. Sometimes, how
ever, the amount of rainfall is not
sufficient to keep filled the interstices
of the pile. In such cases heating en-
sues and loss of ammonia takes place.
We have seen badly "firefanged"
manure in open pits. However, this
was due to neglect on the part of the
owner and might have occurred had
the manure been held under cover.
The chief virtue Of this last form of
storage is that 1t permits one to regu-
late at will the amount of moisture
that manure contains. In either case,
the result will be the same If the
nanure is not permitted to dry out.
With the pit and the overhead shell
ter making for the same results the
choice between them lies in other fac
tors, chief of which is the matter Of
handling the manure when 1t Is re-
moved. Unless a pit is provided with
an underground cistern into which the
liquids can pass the task of removing
the manure is apt to be anything but
agreeable or easy at certain times. It
is easier, also. ito load manure into
spreader when it does not have to be
elevated from pit sunk below the sur
face of the earth. However, some pits
are so constructed that the spreader
can be driven into them. Nome viii
see in the extra equipment necessary
for handling of liquids an objection to
the pit equipped with cistern. On
the other hand the use of liquid of
this kind on early crops is sometimes
an advantage. All In all, while the
ends served are the same, the choice
between a pit and an overhead shelter,
either in the form Of simple roof COW
ering or more elaborate manure
house, is one of personal choice.

AVOID SOFT-SHELLED EGGS
Usually Caused by Hens Being Too
Fat or insufficient supply Of
Lime Food.

The cause Of soft-shelled eggs usu-
ally is that the hens are too fat or do
not have sufficient food of lime ma
ture, or have been worried, or the owl
duct is not In good healthy condi-
ton, which may be caused by infiam-
nation brought on by overproduction,
disease or injury. If fowls are too
fat starve them down, furnish them
with material for shells, keep. dogs,
children and male fowls from chasing
them, provide perches near the ground,
feed lightly and use large quantities
Of green's and vegetables rather than
grain.
