Cold Storage at
37 Degrees Best
Temperature Should Not Run
Too Close to Freezing
for Potatoes.
(Trepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Cold storage of seed potatoes should
not run too close to the freezing point,
and 37 degrees Fahrenheit Is probably
a desirable temperature, potato spe
llallsts iu the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture have concluded
after storage experiments with seed
potatoes In several seasons.
Recults of Studies.
The results of the studies appear In
Technical Bulletin 117-T, "Compara
tive Influence of Different Storage
Temperatures on Weight I.osses and
Vitality of Seed Potatoes," Just pub
lished by the department. When po
tatoes are stored at a temperature of
32 degrees considerable decoy results.
At temperatures of 30 or 40 degrees
the potatoes remain approximately
dormant for the usual storage season,
and may even be stored for an ad
ditional year without excessive de
terioration In appearance but not In
quality.
The authors, William Stuart, P. M.
Lombard, and Walter M. Peacock, all
of the bureau of plant Industry, ex
perimented with storage of seed pota
toes, not only at the department's
Arlington farm, but also at the Vir
ginia truck experiment station near
Norfolk. Va., at the Marble labora
tories, Canton, Pa., and at the Aroo
stock farm of the Maine agricultural
experiment station. Different vari
ations In storage of potatoes showed
slight differences In response to va
riations In storage conditions. Vari
ations In storage temperatures did not
reveal important differences In yields
from the stored seed stock of the Irish
Cobbler variety. Results Indicated the
desirability of holding potatoes for
several days at a 70-degree temperature
after removal from cold storage and
before planting.
Results Summarized.
The authors suinmnrlze the results
of previous Investigations of the re
sults of cold storage on the vitality of
potato seed stock, and report In detail
the methods and conclusions arrived
at in the studies by the Department of
Agriculture. Technical Bulletin 117-T

Good Implements Give
Protection From Bees
Many farmers who could use the
honey from one to two swarms of
bees on their table during the year
and at practically no cost for the food
will not keep bees because they are
afraid they will get stung.
With a bee smoker, a bee veil, and
bee gloves, all of which cost but lit
tle, bees can be handled with as little
fear as chickens. Blow a little smoke
Into the entrance of the hive first,
then raise the cover of the hive a
little and blow a little smoke (n on
top. Wait a moment and you have a
docile swarm of bees. There will be
some workers in the field and they
will come back while yotr are work
ing with them. To protect yourself
against these have a veil and for fear
you would pinch one a little and
cause it to sting, wear gloves. Then
you are absolutely safe. But after
all, a bee sting hurts hut little more
than a savage peck from an old set
ting hen.
Cellar Is Convenient
for Vegetable Storage
The houfce cellar Is a convenient
place for vegetable storage. A dirt
floor is preferable. The "furnace cellar
should be separated from the storage
cellar by a concrete wall or a double
wood partition. A window Is needed
for ventilation. An outside pit, made
by burying a barrel horizontally in the
side of a bank, makes an ideal place
for storing cabbnge and root crops,
and the unused hotbed pit frequently
can be used successfully for storing
celery.

By W. A. RADFORD
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all problems pertaining to the
subject of building work on the farm,
for the readers of this paper. On ac
count of his wide experience as editor,
author and manufacturer, he Is, with
out doubt, the highest authority on the
subject. Address all Inquiries to Wil
liam A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie ave
nue, Chicago, 111., and only Inclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
As a plain matter of fact, poultry
keeping is not so popular on the farm
ns it should be. The average farmer
Is fascinated and mesmerized by the
big returns to be obtained from the
raising of hogs and cattle, and forgets
the much heavier expense and the
greater length St time It takes to get
returns from an investment lr. cattle
or hogs than It does In poultry. He
forgets thnt the labor and time In
volved In raising poultry are much
lighter than In cattle, and that he can
turn his money over on poultry,
whereas he Is satisfied with a per
centage profit on other live stock.
In the majority of cases, poultry
raising on the farm is left to the
women and children, who are often
expected to pay part of the grocery
bills and buy clothing out of the pro
ceeds from this source of revenue.
The fact that the housewife has to
pay out all the money she takes In on
them generally lessens her Interest in
the flock.
The average farmer has never had
any eggs In the winter time from his
hens. Hence, he usually neglects
them when they need his attention
most, and when he has most time to
tend to them, so that when spring
comes the chickens are poor, Infested
with lice and mites, low In vitality,
and they are late in starting to lay,
and soon want to set after they do
start laying. He allows them to lay
on the ground or under the barn, or
anywhere else the hen decides. Thus,
many eggs are never gathered at all
and soon rot under some vine or In
some fence corner.

Then, too, the average fanner has
only scnio stock, which Is slow In de
velopment and low in productivity.
Tills Is the case on many farms where
all the other stock Is well cared for.
The poultry, being a very small Item,
are very apt to be sadly neglected.
Were the farmer to buy good stock In
chickens he would be agreeably sur
prised at the very substantial profits
he would find can be derived from this
hitherto neglected branch of his farm
Investment.
There Is no excuse for a modern
farmer not having a good stock of
poultry and a good house for them,
for It costs less to get a good start
in reliable breeds of poultry stock
and to fix suitable places for them,
than it does In any other branch of
the live stock Industry. Then, with a
little care and attention, they will
repay their worth many times over.
This poultry house Is 14 feet by 14
feet in size. It Is built in the usual
way, by using 2 by 4 Inch studding,
with building paper and clapboards
outside, and matched ceiling Inside.
The idea of placing the windows high
up Is to let the sunshine into the
back part of the house during the
winter and the early weeks of spring,
when sunshine is greatly appreciated
by the poultry. The house Is well
ventilated by muslin-covered openings
under the low roof In front. This Is
thfc natural way to ventilate a poultry
house, the air entering under the low
roof, and circulating back of the
roosts.
All the Inside paraphernalia of a
poultry house should be easily re
movable. The nest boxes, dropping
bonrd, roosts, feed hoppers, dust boxes,
drinking fountains?all should be In
stalled In such a way as to be easily
and quickly detached, so that they
may be carried out Into the sunshine
for cleaning and fumigating.
The dropping board Is made to fit
the space at the back of the building
under the slope of the roof. The
nests are supported on standards set
onto the dropping board.

Bathroom Fashions
Set for World by U. S.
Bathroom fashions are being set for
the entire world by the United Stntes,
according to a survey appearing In
Woman's Home Companion.
"It Is quite possible." says Hazel
Rawson Cades, author of the article,
"that down the centuries we shall be
known as the people who glorified
bathrooms. There have been other
periods, notably the Roman, when
bathing was popular and elaborate,
but our Immediate ancestors regarded
It mostly as a private, necessary and
uncomfortable performance. That any
body shonld entertain the suggestion
that a bathroom be photographed and
shown In a public print would have
been considered as Indecorous as air
ing the bed clothes out of Queen Vic
toria's windows.
'The plumber, once nbsorbed by
problems of drainage, now turns his
grave attention to becoming colors In
bathtubs. Mural painters abe recruit
ed to decorate the walls with ships
and fishes and animals. Architects
specialize In bathroom plans. The
bathroom, from the standpoint of
looks and use, rivals any room In the
house. And bathing threatens to en
croach upon all other diversions.
"Running salt water and fresh. Dis
solving bath crystals In splendid ro
tation of Jasmine, lavender, pine
needles and rose-geranium. Leaping
backward and forward on nonsllp
mnts. Adjusting back cushions that
fasten on with suction caps. Reading
"Water Babies" In a nonsplashable
cover, propped up on a rack that also
Is held to the tub by suction cups.
Submerging sponge elephants and sail
ing celluloid boats. I can, seriously.
Imagine, being so enthralled by the en
tertainments of the modern bathroom
as to forget all social obligations and
simply bathe away my days.
"I'd hate to think there still exists
anybody who can be stony-hearted
about the soaps and salts, oils and
powders that lend snch sweet tem
poral pleasure to the bath."
Fireplace Must Have
Color to Be Real Joy
Hns the fireplace been the joy you
expected It to be? Or has it proved
to be an alien feature which you can
not bring Into relation with your furn
ishings?
If the fireplace Is built of rough,
variegated red brick It Is apt to seera
unrelated to the more delicate fix
tures of your furnishings. Often these
brick fireplaces have small, inadequate
light-colored tile hearths.
Such a hearth does not give suffi
cient color or size to act as a base
for the fireplace. The brick front
seems to hang upon the wall without
having any relation to the floor be
low. The brickwork should have an
adequate base upon which to stand.
If you possess such a fireplace you
may change its appearance a great
deal by the use of a small rug. To cor
relate the color and texture of the
bricks with the decorative scheme of
the rooms you must Introduce that
rough texture and color In some other
furnishing.
A small rug of various shades of
red, woven with a long nap. will prove
the desired connection, and placed In
front of the hearth It will give weight
to the area before the fireplace and
thus the appearance of a more sub
stantial base.
The color of the bricks will not end
at the base of the wall, but will
spread out onto the rug upon the
floor. There are many small ori
ental rugs with the desired color
and texture. The pleasure and feel
ing of "rightness" derived from such
n rug will compensate for Its cost.
Color of Woodwork
In any decorative scheme don't for
get to consider the color of the wood
work.
When the wood used for window-and
door trim Is oak, cypress, maple or
birch, or any wood with a beautiful
grain, a waterproof Tarnish will give
luster and bring out the grain.
Point of ComparUon
Hard on the Russian!
Ilonald McPlierson, tlie rich Pitts
burgh promoter, said on his return
from Russia:
"The Russian government's moral
sense is about equal to old jGobsa
Goald's sense of etiquette.
"Old Gobsn Goald, the profiteer, was
eating dinner in his tapestry-hung
dining room when the bishop called?
for a subscription, you know.
"The bishop came In timidly. The
butler and the four footmen in the
dining room awed him.
" 'Don't let me disturb you, Mr.
Goald,' he said. *1 can call another
time.'
. " 'No, no,' said Gobsa. 'Take a
chair, do.'
"And then he added with a polite
society smile:
?"You'll excuse me not eatln* this
here rich puddin* with my knife, bish
?it's so darn thin and sloppy.'"
Wonderful
The Princess Joachim Albrecht
about to sail from New York on the
Leviathan, said to a reporter:
"I think America is wonderful. You
pay the highest wages, yet you pro
duce the best and cheapest goods. I
think It is a miracle."
The princess smiled and added:
"It is like the German clerk's land
lady. The German clerk said, you
know:
" 'My landlady is a wonder. We
had a 12-pound Westphalian ham for
Supper last night, and she carved It
in such thin slices that after we were
all served the ham weighed 14%
pounds.'"
Shrivelling
Little Betty was left In her bath
while mother answered the phone.Tre ,
telephone conversation became lone
and caused no end of worrying to the
tiny bather, for Betty had never had
experience with a prolonged stay In
water and its effect on the fingers.
Mother was startled by a cry from
the bathroom.
"Muvvcr," Betty called excitedly,
"come quick before I shwlvcl up into
a grandmother!"
Historic Chapel
Although the present building of St.
Bartholomew's hospital in London is
comparatively modern, the hospital pa
tients still use the beautiful old Nor
man chapel, the only part of the an
cient hospital that remains. It is one
of the earliest Norman churches in
existence, the work of Bishop Gun
dulf, bishop of Rochester from 1077 to
1108.
Just the Implement
"Could you write a woeful ballad to
a lady's eyebrow?"
"Sure. Hand me an eyebrow pen
cil."

Hindu Festival*
The outstanding Hindu festivals
which have a national appeal are the
Durga, the Lakshmi and Kali "pujais"
in northeast India and their equiva
lent, and the ,T>e\vnli." In the rest of
India. The pujas and Dewall take
place in October and are celebrated
with pomp for several days. Govern
ment trade is all but suspended.
Business at the bazanrs during the
few days preceding the puja Is very
active.
Sow "Adopted" Skunk
A Duroc sow became the mother of
ten fine little porkers on the CofTey
ville (Kan.) farm of C. F. Kmerick.
Some three or four days later a baby
skunk wandered into the pen, appar
ently about lunch time for the pigs.
The baby skunk accepted the invita
tion to stay to lunch, and made Its
home in the pen for a month, when it
was accidentally killed by Its foster
mother.
Gigantic Cofferdam
The largest cofferdam ever con
structed is now in use in connection
with the development of St. John har
bor, New Brunswick. It is 4,.'100 feet
long by about 300 feet wide and In
closes one of the two new piers pro
jected.
Thorough
"After my daughter finishes chem
istry we propose to give her a course
In electrical engineering."
"That will be nice."
"Yes, we want her to be a good
cook."
