NEW S OF
IN INTEREST
TO
AGRICULTURISTS

Many farmers in the South har-
vest their peanuts too early, before
most of the crop has fully developed.
The time for digging peanuts can be
best determined by slight yellow
inc of the foliage and an eXamina-
tion of the pods. If the peas are full
grown and the inside of the shells
has begun to color and show dark
ened veins, the crop is ready to har-
vest.
1t is much better to select toma-
TO seed from a plant producing uni
formly good fruits than from a su-
perlative fruit on a plant that also
hears uneven and inferior fruits.
Size, smoothness, solodity, and free
dom from cracks on the fruit, ana
yigor,. productiveness, and freedom
from disease in the plant, should be
considered. Tomatoes inter-cross to
only a slight extent and seed oil
more than one variety from one gar
den may safely be saved.
The best time to harvest cabbage
is when the green cover leaves be
gin to curl back slightly, exposing
the whittier leaves beneath. At this
stage cabbage is as hard and as
heavy as it will become without
bursting and is not too crisp and
brittle for good handling. Cabbage
intended for immediate shipment to
market should be trimmed to from
two to four clOse-fitting wrapper
leaves. These leaves protect the
heads and can be removed at the
market if necessary to give the cab
bages a fresher appearance.
Cool milk and cream promptly To
a temperature of so degrees f. ol
below, and hold it at such tempera-
ture. to prevent rapid growth OF
bacteria, says the U. S. Bureau OF
Dairy Industry. If there are large
numbers of bacteria in market milk
when it reaches the consumer, TINS
indicates that the milk was not care
fully produced or kept cool enough
A 1O-gallon can of warm milk usu'
ally can be cooled to about so de
erees in about 20 minutes, if first
cooled over a cooler with water al
55 degrees and then set in a tank o.
ice-water at 81 degrees, says the
bureau.
Profits from late potatoes depend
considerably on successful storage
of the crop. All diseased, badly cut
or bruised tubers should be dis
carded. Tubers should be dry an(
fairly free from dirt when stored
From go to 4O0 F. is the best stor
age temperature to prevent sprout
ing. Potatoes, however, should no
be stored at these temperatures dl
rectly after being dug. A preliminar,
curing or storage for two to thre
weeks at a temperature around 6O
should first be provided in order T.
allow all wounds and skinned areas
which are incident to harvesting an
handling, to heal. There should b
sufficient ventilation to provide al
circulation and to remove eXces
heat and moisture. With ordinar
storage facilities, it is better t
store potatoes in bins not deepe
than 5 or feet, with floor spac
not larger than II by II feet IN
table quality of potatoes deteriorate
quickly in the light, so the storag
room should be darkened.

Outwitting the Pretty Witch of
Devils Island

&him, than she had given him pre-
viously.
Luther, thinking that he would
never see her again, and having a
! clean conscience because he had
never let her get anything on him,
consented. There had never been
anything ssricus between them; so he
was glad that he could return to his
wife with this feeling. He accepted
the drink and was about to lift the
glass to his mouth, when he saw a
white powdery substance clinging
t. naciously to one side of the glass.
This shot a thought through his
brain, and he lowered the glass, di-
recting cole, hard stare at the wo-
man.
You've tried to poison me-" he
said firmly But you didn't make
it work. Open that door,"
She laughed in his face.
IF you think I WILL" she Missed,
if can't hold you, know men who
can"
Luther's fighting spirit was fully
alive by tn; time. He reached for
the door knob. But the siren grab
be-. his wrist. 1t was like the climax
of a powerful melodrama on the sill
yer screen.
A struggle followed. Almost be-
fore he knew it, Luther found him
self fighting against odds. A giant
had joined the witch, and was beat
ing at Luther'S face and head with
a pair of heavy fists. Nevertheless,
Luther was quite capable in the art
of self-defense, therefore he fought
his way free. Before he left the
room, he hurled the woman back
against the wall, and an Orien' Il
curtain, slipping from brass pole,
fell over her. She became entangled
III this, allowing Luther to escape.
The big Nm followed Luther o
IT,. walk, still raining blows against
his face and head. But when there
was q sound of hurrying footsteps,
the bigger man - Luther's adversary
- turned and fled into the mouth Of
an alley. Luther did not hesitate to
report the witch 70 the police author
tiles and she was driven out of town.
1t was difficult for the young man
to believe that the woman had at
tempted to poison him after failing
to win his attentions. Family he
remembered that there had been
something about his being able to
comprehend the Bible, in the wo-
mans readings.
Luther will, perhaps never patron
lie another fortune teller.

PAIN

PAIN
Pain in any part of the body comes
from some sort OF Inflammation. This
inflammation may come from any
one of several causes. Sometimes
it will be bruise. sometimes it will
be an accumulation Of poison in the
tissues that will eventually lead to
rheumatism, neuritis or other trouble.
No matter what the cause, however,
pain can be greatly lessened by a
simple little application which can be
used by anyone at home. Take a
basin of water, just as hot as you
can possibly bear with the hand. Out
of this basin wiring pad made by
folding together number of layers
of some soft white cloth. An old
sheet or any other white cloth that
has been worn until thin and soft,
will serve the purpose adm rably.

WHY WE ARE COLD IN WINTER

Why is it colder during the winter
months than it is in summer?
Many will Immediately reply by
saying that it is because the sun is
farther away. As matter OF Tact,
the sun is nearer in winter than 1t
is in summer, but it strikes the earth
at a more decided slant in winter
and thus does not warm us as does

it beams directly overhead.

". ". BRIDES HOME
is NOVEL IN DESIGN
Residence in Spring Valley
Fitted Into SIoping Contour
of Spacious Site.

The large stone house at 4763 Indian
lane, Spring Valley, which was pur-
chased recently by William W. Bride,
corporation counsel of the District,
presents an interesting architectural
study due to the sloping contour of its
spacious site into which the residence
was fitted.
To meet this problem, the main wall
of the house was sunk into the slope,
bringing the living room window sills
near the level of the lawn, thus avoid
ing the difficulties of having the oppo-
site side of the house stand far above
the level of the grounds there.
Due to this treatment the appearance
of the rear or garden side of the house
was enhanced. The garage wing of the
building, placed at right angles with
the main block of the house, forms an
81" shaped outline. The floor of this
wing is on the level with the house en-
frances and this caused the end wall to
sink into the rising ground to create a
low, gabled aspect.
Stone Wall Helps Setting.
The landscaping of the grounds in
cludes a row of apple trees as well as
shrubs. In addition these is a rural
type stone wall to add to the setting.
The house, which commands wide
vista over the wooded section, Is so ar
ranged that the main outlook from the
rooms Is ever the garden front. This
elevation has a stone-paved terrace
traversing its entire length and is
marked by two gabled bow windows.
The living room, square in proper
tons and having groups of windows
overlooking the stone-paved porch, Is
placed opposite the dining room, with a
lazge center hall Intervening.
Library Over Garage.
A library is built over the garage
and set apart from the main portion of
the house so as to offer the booklover
an atmosphere of privacy and quiet.
This room is fitted with huge stone
fireplace. built-in bookcases and a high
gabled ceiling finished in rough texture
plaster.
The master bed room and adjoining
bath, placed over the living room, has
three exposures. On the second floor
also there are three additional bed
rooms and two baths. The house was
built by w. G. & A. N. Miller from
plans by G.. E. MacNefl.
