Outdoor Banks for
Vegetable Storage
Well-Drained Location Is Of
Great Importance.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Outdoor banks or pits offer cheap
means Of storing vegetables. The conf
cal pit is used commonly for such
vegetables as potatoes, carrots, beets,
turnips, satisfy, parsnips, and heads of
cabbage. When such vegetables are to
be stored in outdoor pits. they should
be prepared in the same manner as
If to be placed in basement storage
room or an outside storage cellar. It
is important that well-drained loca-
ton be chosen. The vegetables to be
stored may be piled on the surface of
the ground or circular excavation
six or eight inches deep may be made
for them. There should be left around
the base of the pit shallow trench
with an outlet for carrying off the wa
ter. The excavation should be lined on
the bottom with straw or similar ma
terial. On this litter the vegetables
should be placed in conical or Ia
pering pile and covered with straw or
like material. A layer Of dirt two to
three inches thick should then be
added With the approach of winter
the dirt covering should be increased
to a thickness Of several inches, its
depth depending upon the severity Of
the winter. During extremely cold
weather a supplementary covering Of
straw, corn fodder, or manure should
be added Small pits may be sufficient
~ ventilated by allowing the straw
between the vegetables and the dirt
to extend through the dirt at the top
Of the pile This should be covered
with board or piece of tin held in
place by stone to protect 1t from
rain. Ventilation Of the larger pits
may be secured by placing two or
three pieces of rough boards or stakes
up. through the center Of the pile
of vegetables so that flue Is formed
This flue is capped by trough formed
Of two pieces of board nailed together
at right angles. In finishing the pit
the dirt should be firmed with the
back Of the shovel in order to make
1t as nearly waterproof as possible.
On account of the difficulty in get
ting vegetables out Of pit in winter,
particularly when tine ground is frozen,
several small pits instead Of a single
large one should be used. 1t is well also
to store small quantity Of several
kinds Of vegetables in the same pit,
separating them with straw, leaves or
similar material. Under this arrange
ment it is possible at one operation
to empty an entire pit and provide
temporary supply Of several vegeta-
bles. These may be kept in base
ment storage room Or other suitable
placA until used.

SCHOOL HEALTH IN
SMALL TOWNS

THERE is no longer any room for
= argument about school hygiene or
Inspection Of school children. Twenty
years ago, when the plan was new,
there was much discussion. Today,
every reasonable person, admits the
need Of well-built. well-lighted school
houses. They also agree that to send
sick, weak or diseased children to
school is waste. of money, and that
the child should be as healthy as the
school is hygienic.
The Oklahoma department of pub
lie health. in recent bulletin, out
lines program which even the small
est, poorest school can afford.
This is a practical program for the
small town or small rural school.
Three detectives are to be kept in
mind. First, the elimination of dis
ease; second, the normal growth and
development Of the child; third, the
correction Of physical defects that may
now or later interfere with the health
or efficiency Of the child.
Even the smallest, poorest commu-
nifty can cooperate to carry out the
following program:
1. Daily inspection of all pupils for
symptoms of communicable disease ;
exclusion Of all pupils with such symp-
toms.
2. Constant attention to the prac-
tice of health habits.
s. Special attention to application
of good food habits, and arrangements
for milk lunches at school. with hot
lunches during the cold months.
4. Health records kept in the school
records of weights and measures re-
corded at least once a year.
8. Arrangements with local ply
sicians and dentists for annual exami-
nation of our pupils.
6. Arrangements once year for the
engagement of dentist and a ply
sician for the correction Of physical
defects. ut has been demonstrated
that this is verw practical plan.)
Parents as a rule, will bear the ex-
penses for the service.
Z. Arrangements for rest periods at
school each morning and afternoon for
all children who are malnourished.
overtired. nervous, or who have seri-
GUS physical defects indicating need
of special rest periods.
8. Special attention to the sanitary
condition Of all toilets and washrooms.

HOW TO KEEP
WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor Of "HEALTH"
oooooooooooOooo ooOoooooooo
THE DEATH RATE AND
HEALTH

HOW much sickness is there In an.
= = community In the course Of a
year? No one knows, for the reason
that the only index Of a community's
health that we have at present Is the
annual death rate and, In many parts
Of the country, even that has only
been known for a few years. 1t has
taken many years to get laws passed
and effectively enforced, by which
records could be kept that would show
the number of births and deaths in
any city, county or state. Even now,
1t is not possible to determine accu-
rately how many human beings die
every year in the United States.
But even If it could be determined
accurately, the number Of deaths Is by
no means positive indication of the
amount of illness. Some diseases,
such as common colds, have very low
death rate. They may be exceeding
ly common and may cause great deal
Of suffering and disability and yet be
responsible for few, If any deaths.
So low death rate does not at all
indicate general condition Of health.
Naturally, it is impossible at pres
ent to know how much illness exists
In any one state, to say nothing Of the
entire country. All that can be done
Is to attempt to get the facts for a
small town and to strike balance
sheet for a limited number Of people.
With this object in view, the United
States public health service recently
made careful study of Hagerstown,
Md. This town has population Of
about twenty-eight thousand people.
The survey included about one-fourth
Of the entire population and was lin
tied to one thousand six hundred fam
lilies, comprising about seven thousand
two hundred persons, all white, of all
ages, living under about the same liv-
ing conditions. The survey covered
twenty-eight months, three winters
and two summers.
These seven thousand two hundred
persons in twenty-eight months had
1904 illnesses Of various kinds, a
rate Of 1131 per thousand per year.
This means that, on the average, ev-
cry person in town had at least one
illness Of some kind every year. But
only ten persons out Of each thousand
died. In other words, out of every
thousand persons each year, ten died
and 800 had some illness but recov-
cred.
OF these 1,131 Illnesses, nearly half
or 66S, were some form of respiratory
disease. coughs colds, bronchitis and
pneumonia. One hundred and twenty
were general diseases, as typhoid, scar
let fever and measles. One hundred
and seventeen were diseases Of the
stomach and bowels. Forty-six were
nervous, thirty-fve were diseases of
the heart and kidneys. Thirty-five
were troubles with the ears and eyes.
So don't think that low death rate
means health. 1t doesn't, any more
than the fact that no member Of your
family has died in the past year means
that you have all been perfectly
healthy.

Storing Unsound Fruit
Will Result in Rottine

Most of the loss that results from
the rotting of fruit in storage can be
traced to two causes. The first, and
probably the most important of these,
is the storing Of (unsound fruit. No
fruit that is attacked by insects or
disease or which has been bruised dur
ing the process of picking and packing
should be stored.
The second cause Of loss is the fail
ure to get fruit into storage promptly
after it is harvested. Experiments
have shown that exposure to warm
weather for few days will shorten
several weeks the life of the fruit in
storage. 1t pays to store only sound
mature fruit which has been cooled
soon after it was harvested.

Keeping Poultry Well Is
Secret Of Good Business

Keeping the poultry well is an alb
solute essential to successful poultry
husbandry and efficient egg production.
It is the main corner stone to the sue
cess Of all poultry operations and
the poultryman should strive through
out the year to keep his flock in the
best of health, advise poultry spe-
cialists at the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
One method to build up the flock's
health is to Gull all fowls from the
flock which show indications of not
being as strong and healthy as the.I
should be. Old birds should be culled,
considering lack Of vitality and poor
egg production. Late Matched chicks
usually are not successful. No pullets
should go into the winter quarters
that have colds or discharge from the
nostrils.
Chickens should be cleaned both In
side and outside, the poultrymen ad-
vocate. All parasites should be re-
moved before the beginning Of winter.
Lice and internal parasites should not
be permitted to sap the vitality Of the
flock.
Hens should be fed complete ra-
ton consisting of grain, ground feed,
meat food, minerals and vitamines.
Yellow corn is better than white corn.
1t Is wise to feed surplus of good
tender green food throughout the win
ter season.

The sins Of the scrub bull sponge

Treat seed wheat before planting.
1t Is good insurance and inexpensive.
Farming is one Of those games in
which brains are needed by the man
who is to win.
To adjust production to the de-
mands Of the market is the pertinent
problem of farm management.
A crop of alfalfa should not be
harvested from fall-seeded fields. The
fall growth makes an excellent winter
protection.
The glazed stage is right for har-
vesting silage corn, but frosted corn
makes poor silage; better harvest 1t
little too soon than too late.
Cows that are to freshen should
have some grain. When the cow fresh
ems she cannot be put on full feed
Immediately. Usually it is four weeks
before she can be fed all the grain
she needs, depending upon the con-
dition of her udder. During that time
the COW must draw upon her body
reserves. Feeding grain before fresh.
ening builds up the reserve.

Alfalfa Hay Very Rich
in Protein Substances

Alfalfa hay is rich in protein and
mineral substances. 1t contains other
elements which supplement corn silage
admirably. A mixture consisting of
300 pounds ground barley, 200 pounds
ground corn, and 300 pounds bran will
go very well with the silage and alfal-
ia hay. Feed one pound of this mix
ture for each 31s to pounds of 31h
per cent milk produced. Some cows
will require a little more feed than
this and others little less. When
more than 10 pounds of grain day is
fed cow, much care should be exer-
cised in determining whether the COW
is receiving more than she can take
care of.
