Now pack them in boxes and store in a cool place. nst warm enough to be secure from frost, bnt not warm, the object beiug to keep, not ripen them.

The Experiment Station has no sup ply of seeds, plants, ic, for general distribution, and correspondents should remember this fact and not write for them. It does not attempt to keep a supply on hand for the reason tht it is not in the province of its work to dis tribute common seeds, and besides there are nurserymen and seedsmen who make it their business to keep these stocks and can fill your orders. Occa sionally the Stntion distributes one or two varieties of D9w seeds or plants, when they are promising, but unless you see a distinct announcement of this fact, please do not make applica tion to the Station. TITLE PAGE CHANGED. The title page of the bulk tins of the North Caroliua Agricultural Experi ment Station has been somewhat changed in appearance. Nowth9 sub ject of the publication is given the prominent part so that the readers can easily see what the bulletin contains. WEATHER FORECASTS. Telegrams are sent to miny telegraph stations in North Carolina by the State Weather Service Division of the Exper iment Station. These telegrams give the probable state of the weather for 36 hours ahead, and are very useful in giving an idea what weather to expect. It is not possible that the forecasts are correct in every iiibtance, but such is the accuracy now that in about 85 per cent, of the cases they are found to lie correct. These telegrams are usually disseminated . by means of fljgs, as follows: WEATHER FLAGS. examples: No. t. alone. Indicates fair weather, stationary tem perature. No. 1 atone, indcates rain or snow, stationary tem perature. No. S, a one. Indicates local rain, stattanary temper ature. No. 1, with No. 4 above It, Indicates fair weather, warmer. No. 1, with No. 4 blow it. Indicates fair weather, colder. No. i, with No. 4 above It, Indicates rain or snow, warmer. No. 2, with No. 4 below It, Indicates rain or snow, colder. No. 3. with No. 4 abov It. Indicate local rain, warmer. No. S, with No. 4 below It, lnnlcat' local ratu. colder. No. S ts the cold wave flag and Indicates that tbe temperature will f all ao degrees or more 10 a minimum of St or les.

KEEPING SWEET POTATOES THROUGH WINTER . The Wowing method I have found to keep 6wcet potatoes in perfect order until June. Procure a good supply of pine straw from the woods in a dry time and keep under cover ready for use. Dig the potatoes as soon as frost cuts tbe vines. If not convenient to dig at once, cut the'frotded vines off at once, or they will harbor fungus growth that will damage theiKttatoes. Dig on a warm sunny day lay the potatoes along the row as dug. and do not allow them to be bruised by throwing into ril.'v Handle at all times as gently as eggs. Allow them to lie in the sun during the day, and in the evening haul to a convenient place. Place good layer a foot thick of pine straw on the trronnd, and on this pile the potatoes in steep heaps, not over 25 bushels in a pile. Cover the piles thickly all over with the dry pine straw now build a rough board shed over the piles, and let them remain until the weather grows colder, or until they have gone through a sweat and dried off. Then cover the heaps with earth six or eight inches thick and beat smooth. The important points are the sweating under the previous cover of pine t.trae' before covering with earth, very care ful handling, and the board cover over head. Dry earth ke-ps out more cold than wet earth. If tor family nse, put in smaller piles and take up an entire heap at once for use, keeping them in a drv warm place while using. W. F.

A Brlllant Affair Which Makes Every One Happy. Hoar fearfully U joy and sorrow mixed in thw sublunary world. I hear the funeral knell, I see the messengers carryius; flower pale flowersto place upon the casket. A mother, a wife or a daughter wra suddenly called away to rest ; called without warning. A heart that was loving had ceased to b at and nfW there Is sorrow in that household aod -les-olation in that home, t see the mothrleis children m I piss and the stricken hnsbmd. The f?ood old father and mother have ome from their distant home and are Lro&en dow.i with srief. Ah I looked upon the lovely wreathe that loving hands had wroncht and sent to adorn the dead, I recalled Mrs. Heman'a beau! if ul lines : "Brinjr flowers pale flowers o'er the bier to shed, A crown for the brow of the early dead Though they tmile in Vain for what onee was oura, tlity are love's last gift bring flowers pale flowers." As I journeyed home I saw more flowers that kind friends were sending to my house atid I knew that they were for the bridal o caaion not the death, hut the nuptial of a daughter dearly beloved, and then another verse of the sweet poetess came to mind : , 'Bring flowers, fresh flowers, for the bride to wear! They were born to blush in her shining hair She U leaving the home of her childho id's mirth She has bid farewi 11 to her father's hearth. Her place is now by another's side Bring flowers, sweet flowern, for the fdr young bride." For a time I was sad and My heart was sick. Bat I remembered that life and death and marriage and the separation of friends is part of the common lot. It is not good to pritve over that which we cannot help. Certainly there is o cansa to grieve - for our house, fjr it is not far to where our child has gone only a block or two away, and she will come hom? ev ery day until we get reconciled- 8he was away at col'ege for months and wo got reconciled lo that. The difference is that then she leved us better than she lved anybody, but now she doesn't. He has cut ns ont, aa'we boys used to say when a fellow look our awe tln'art away. It is a case of larceny after trust. We trusted tbe youDg man with her until he began to claim the goods and wonldent give them np Strange to say, we acquiesced in the theft and endorsed it in the church and congratulated him oa his success. We conldent help ounelvce and concluded it was the best thing we cottld do. But t-he will hi ruieecd. No she won't, either, for she is a nves no more. Yes, she will be missed by all of ns and Annt Ann and the d:gs, too, for every, hins: loved her. "Dat man uo bisnepg tski M'ss Jessie away from here, bnt I reckon he conldnt he p it," said Annt Ann. "Looks like everybody h.ve dat child and ev erybody send her sumthln. Never seed so mny purty things in all my life. Wonder who her ma gwine to call on now to get her sois ori and find br spectacle?" "And all went merry as a marriage be'l. It always dees A marriage fills the church with good people. It is evarybotly's bnsi uiea, and thue are eager, txpectant sm le on every face- For a time, at least, the bride and groom have everybody's sym pathy and good wishes. There was noth ing sweeter, lovelier, than the scene. The goodly array of fair women and bt ave m n, a they marched down the aisle to the almr marched in stately s'eppings to tbe musio of tL? organ; the pealing, swelling nofcs that same from a master's hand for Signer Ban rtegger was at the keys- Oh, music! What is It aud where does it dwell? SoM.er can't fight without it; preachers can't preach without it; lovers ran' t court without it. I' helps to con summate marriage and to bury the dead. It is the only thing on earth that will be found in heaven, for it is common to angels and to men. Well, it is all over. Solemnly, sadly, sw eily, I gave the bride away and then took a seat br my wife. There wei e no tears upon her checks, but I paw ihem in her eyes just a tkimof lachrymal i ffusion," as Dr. Calhoun would say and I could feel the tremor of her hind. She will stick a little eloper to me now, I reckon i-'ho will let me find her spectacles. The old man u not of much consequence until the younger props give way. He is no quarter lnrse, tut in mifibty good on the long run. Maybe the will take Jessic'ii plnce and count my back hair and bathe my brow w th cologne when my hetd aches. I'll be her John Anderson my Joe With my fio6ty paw and she will be my Gene -v:eve once more. But oh, my, what a reception we had! What an aftermath with kindred and friends wi:b bridesmaids and groomsmen with children and grandchildren and nephews and nirccs and cousins. There are new linfoks now amazing, for two large families have got to gether by a common bond- Old South Car-v lina stock has found a welcome p'.ace in our family tree and our baby girl has found an other mother a mother bles ed in Ler chil dren and the children blessed in l aving snch a mo her. We will mi ke a combine a tiust and stand or fall toge'hsr. What a bond it i when the youns people of large families mate and marry. How often it unites those who have been estranged and ni"k-B friends of cno-mu-s. What a le mtiful scene it it the nup tials of those who are mated as well as mar Red. What a cont rait to hasty, inconsiderate matches that are made in haste and repented of at leit-ure bonds that are titd by lh preacher an I untied by ibe courts, and matn mony with iU pre mist b is changed to alimony and tears. But nnrriRse is not a failure. It is the com mon lot and is ordained of God and there is more happiness than misery if we try to make it so. We had music last night. T. e Italian Signoi Rsndeiger ws in a happy mood and charmed u wi'h mus c snch as nlv Fnbinstein and List could make. It ts a wonderful gift a youth not yet out of his teens and is already pronounced the tinst pianist in Ann rica. There was no lauung wune ne w piann. xir ems dreadfully in earnest and reminded ns ol Batiby's graphic literary gem of "How Bnb.v Plaxed." The si m had niver heard of that and I read it to him to hia great delight. We are all at rest now. The bridal party and gnests have departed and onr home is once more calm and serene, except that the voice t f the missing one is not heard and my wife 1 down the s'reet the way she will come if st comes today. She is thinking and thinkica and ever and anon the new is on ner eyrs. uci these feelings will pas away after a while ai 4 ire will soften and nr How down to the fate tl.a awaits ns all. l ime and Providence are alway aind. Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution. Th Doctor Lost. The gambling instinct is strong in most men, but it is seldom that one hears of a man with sufficient nerve to bet a sum of money on his own life. A wager of this kind has just leaked out in which two prominent members of a Walnut street club are concerne 3. These two men have been close friends for years. One is a doctor and the other a lawyer. A year ago the law yer, who had previonsly enjoyed the best of health, began to complain of feeling run down. He consulted his friend, the doctor, who, after a minnte and thorough examination, told him frankly that his lungs were affected, the action of the heart was impaired, and that he wouldn't live a year. Tho lawver, who is a man of indomitable rdnek and will power, was naturally stunned for a moment. After the first shock had passed oT, his true nature asserted itself. "I'll bet von $10,000 you are wrong, and that I do live over a year ! he exclaimed. He was in deadly earnest. The doctor was positive that his diagnosis was correct, and was forced to accept the bet. The money was phiced in a safe de posit vault, and the lawyer went abroad. In six months be returned. The year was np last week and he won his wager. And what is more, he says he is open for moro bets of a similar. nature. Philadelphia ltecord. REV. DR TALMAGK. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUNDAY SERMON. Tzxt : "The stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed time, and the turtle, and the crane, and the swallow observw tbe time of 1 heir comlne, bnt roy people know not tbe Judgment of the Lord." Jeremiah vtii., 7. When God wonld sH fast a beautiful thought. He plants it in a tree. When He would rut it afloat, He fashions it into a fish. vthen H would Dav it glide the air. He tnolds it into a blr. My text speaks of four riras oi reautltol metinct-Mna stork, or suen Mrong affection that it is allowed familiarly to come in Holland and Oermaoy and build Its neat over tba doorway ; tha sweet Ulspositloned turtledove, mingling in color White and blaek and brown and ashen and cheetnat ; the crane, with voice like the clang or a trumpet ; the swallow, twitt as a dart shot out ot the tow o' heaven, fallintr. mounting, skimming, 4.illlag four birrfs started by the prophet twenty-five cenlnrha ago, yet nyiotr on tbroutra the ago, wit a rousing truth under glossy wing and in the clutch of stout claw. I suppose it may have been in this verv season of the year antumu and the prophet out cf doors, thinking of the impenitence of the people of his day, hears a great cry overhead. Now, vou knew it is no easy thing for on' with ordinary delicacy of eve-sight to look into the deep blue of noonday hevren, but the prophet looks np, and there are flocks or storks and turtledoves and crines "an 1 swa lows drawn out in long linns for flight Bonthwar. As is their habit, the eranns had arranged themselves in two lines, mak ing an angle, a wedge splitting tbe air with wild velocity, the old crane, with command, ing call, bidding them onward while tho towns, and the cities, and the continents slid under them. The prophet, almost blinded from looking Into the dazzling heavens, stoops down and be gins to think how much superior the birds are in cagacfly about their safety than men are at out their?, and be puts his hand upon tbe pen nnd begins to write, "The 6tork In the heaven knoweth bis appointed times, ant tbe turtle, and tha. crane, and the swallow observe the time of their cominr, but my people know not the judgment of the Lord." li you were in tue neid to-day. in tne clump of trees at the corner of the field, you would see a convention of birds, noisy as the American Congress the lust night beiore adjournment or as tbe English Parliament when some unfortunate member proposes more economy in the Queen's household a convention of birds all talking at once, mov'ng and passing resolutions on the sub ject of migration, some proposing to go to morrow, some moving that they go to-day, but all unanimous in the fact that they must go soon, tor they have marching orders from the Lord written on the first white sheet of the frost and in the pictorial of the changing leaves. There is not a belted kingfisher, or a chaffinch, or a fire exerted wren, or a plover. or a red legged partridge but expects to spend the winter at the South, for the apart, roents have already been ordered for them in South America or in Africa, and after thousands of miles of flight they will stop in the very tree where they spent last January. Farewell, I'right plumage ! Until spring weather, away ! Fiy on, great ban 1 of heavenly musicians ! Strew the conti nents with musie. and, whether from Ceylon isle, or Carolinian swamps, or Brazilian groves men see your wings or hear your voice, may they et bethink them selves of the solemn words ot the text. "The stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times, and tbe turtle, and the crane, and tbe swallow observe the time of their coming, but my people know not the judgment of the Lord." I propose so far as God mar helo ma in this sermon carrying out tbe idea of tho text to show that the birds of the air have more sagacity than men. And I begin by par ticularizing and saying that they mingle musio with their work. The most serious undertaking of a bird's life ts this an nual Sight southward. Naturalists tell us that they arrive thin and weary and plumage ruined, and yet they go singing all tbe way. tbe ground the lower linn ot the music, the sky the upper line of the music, themselves the notes scattered up and down between. I suppose their song gives elasticity to their wine and helps on witn tnn journey, dwind ling 1000 miles into 400. Would God that we were rs wise as they in mingling Chris, tian song with our everyday work ! I be lieve there is such a thing as taking the pitch of Christian devotion in the morning and keeping it all tbe day. I think we might take some of the dullest, heaviest, most disagreeable work of our life and set it to the tune of "Antioch" or "Mount PiS gab." It is a good sign when you hear a work man whistle. It is a better ign when you hear him bum a roundelay. It is a still bet ter sign when you hear him sing the words of Ieaao Watts or Charles Wesley. A violin chorded and strung, if something accident ally striked it. makes music, and I suppose there is such a thing as having our hearts so attuned by divine grace that even the rough coU'sions of lite will make a heav enly vibration. I do not believe that the power of Christian ?ong has yet been lully tried. I believe that if you could roll the "Old Hundred" doxology through tbe street it would put an end lo any panic. I believe that the discor.te, and the sorrows, and the sins of the world are to be swept out by hsavn-Korn halleluiahs. Rotio one asked Haydn, tue oeieorated musician, why heal. ways composed such cheerful musio. "Why," he said. "I can't do otherwise. When I think of God, my soul is so full ot joy that the notes leap and dance from my pen." I wish we might all exult melodiously before the Lord. With God for our Father and Christ for our Saviour, and heaven for our home and angels lor future companions, and eternity for a lifetime, we should strike all the notes of joy. Going through tha wilderness of this world let us remember, that we are on the way to a summery ollme of heaven, and from the migratory populations flying through this autumnal air learn always to keep singing : Children of the Heavenly King, - As ye journey, sweetly sing. 8ing your Saviour's worthy praise, Glorious in His works and ways. Ye are traveling home to God In the way your fathers trod. They are happy now, and we ' Soon their happiness shall see. The Church of God never will bo a tri umphant church until it becomes a singing church. I go lurtber and remark that the birds of tbe air are wiser than we in the fact that in their migration they fly very high. During the summer, when they are In the fields, they often come within reach of the gun, but When they start for the annual flight south, ward they take their places midneaven and go straight as a mari.-. The longest rifle that was ever Iroucht to shoulder can. not reach th-Tr. '-.n to God that we were as wise - ' ' n I crane in our flight heavenward ! We fly so low that we are within easy range of the world, the fleh and the devil. We are brought down by temptations that ought not to come within a mile of reaching u. Oh. for soma of tha taitb of George MuUerof England and Alfred Cookman, once of tbe church militant, bow of the church triumphant ! Go poor is the type of p ety In the church of God now that men actually caricature the ide.i that there is any such thing as a higher life. Moles never did believe in eagles. Eut my breth ren, because we have not reached these heights ourselves, shall we deride tha fact that there any such heights? A man was once talking to Brunei, the famous engi neer, about the length of the railroad from London to Bristol. The engineer said : "It is not very great. We shall have after awhile a steamer running fro-n England to New York." They lauched bim to scorn, but wa have gone so far now that we biv u.u.l ia lii .ov-thin iTilvwd'tle for human achievement. Then I ask, is any thing impossioie ior tue x.oro r i . uui w -lieve that God exhanstwl all His grac in Pal ant Latimer and Eaw.nrJ Payfon. I believe there are higher points of Christiau attainment to be reached ia tte luiore atfes of the Christian worU,. Ton tell me that Paul went up to the tip top of tha Alps of Christian attain-nen. Then I tell you that the stork and cran i i...hnn.uivitthii A Ins nlentv cf TOO'Jl for tree flying. We go out and we conqaer our temptation by the grace ot Got an l lii down. Oa the morrow thosa temptation rally themselves and attack us, and by the grace of God we defeat them again, but staying all the time ia tbe old encampment wa have the same old battles to fight over. Why not whip out our temptations and then forward march, making one, raid through the enemy's country, stopping not Until we break ranks after the lust victory. to, my brethren, let us have some novelty of combat, at any rate, by chan?iug.by going on, by making advancement, trading off Our stale prayers about sins wo ouiiht to have quit long ago. going on toward a higher state of Christian eharaoter, and routing out stn that we have never thought ot yet. Th fact ia, if tha church ot God, if wa as individuals, made rapid advancement in the Christian life these stereotyped pray ers we ha v been making for ten or flfteea years would be as inappropriate to us as the shoes, and the bats, and tbe co-its wa wor ten or fliten years ago. O J. for a higher flight to the Christian life, the stork and tha crane in their migration teaching us the lea son ! - Dear Lord, and shall we ever livs At this poor dying rate, Onr love so faint, so cold to Thee, And Thiue to us so great? Again, I remark that tho birls of tb.9 air are wiser than we becaosa they know when to start. If you should go out now and shour, "Stop, storks anl cranes, don't be ia a hurry I" they would siy i "So. we cannot stop. Last niglit wa heard the roaring m the woods bidding us away, anl the shrill flute of the north wind has soun led the re treat. We must go." So the v g.tther them selves into companies, and turning not asiJa for storm, or mountain top, or shock of musketry over land aud sea, Straight B3 an arrow to th mars, they go. And if you come out this morning with a sack of corn and throw it in tha fields an 1 try and get them to stop tby are so far up they would hardly see it. They are on their way south. You could not stop them. Oh, that we were as wise about the best time to start for God and heaven ! We say : . "Watt until It Is a littla later in tba swoa of mercy. Watt until some n' these green leaves of hops are all driel up and hav been soattered. Watt until next year." After awhile we start, an I it ts too lale, and we perish in tbe wav wiien God's wnth is kindled but a little. Thereare, you know, exceptional oases where birds have sfrtrti.t too late, and in the morning you have found then dead on the snow. Aud Inert) a those who have perished ha'f way between the world aud Christ. - They waited until the last sickness, when the mind was gone, or they were on the express train going at forty miles an hour, aui they catna to tho bridgp, and the "driw was up," anl they went down. How long to repaut an 1 firay? Twos9Conds! To do the work of a ifetlme and to prepaie for the vast eterulty In two seconds ! I was rea Uug of an enter tainment iriven in a king's court, and t her s were musicians there, with elaborate pieces of music. After awhile Moz irt carna and began to play, and be had a rdaalr. piece of paper baiore him. and the king f.vniiiarly fooked over his shoulder and s d : "What are you playing?

I look into 3'our faces, and I know you are not hippy. Thera are voices within your soul that will not ba silenced, telling you that you are sinners, and that without tba pardon of God you are undone forever. What are you going to do, my friends, with the accumulated transgressions of this life-time? Will you stand still anl let tha avalanche tumble over you? Ob, that you would go away into the warm heart ot God's mercy ! The southern grove, redolent with magnolia and cactus, never waited for northern flocks as God ha9 waited tor you, saying : "I have loved thee with an everlast ing love. Come unto Me, nil ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Another frost is bidding you away. It is the frost of sorrow. Where do you live now? "Oh, you say, "I have moved." Why did youmover lou say, "i uon t want as large a nouse now ns iormeriy. nay go you not want as large a house? You say, "My family s not so large." Where hve thev gone to? Eternity! Your mind goes back through that last sickness, and through tba almost supernatural effort to keep life, and through thosa prayers that seemed un availing, and through that kiss which received no response because the lips were lifeless, and I hear the belis tolling. and I hear the hearts breaking. While I speak I hear them break. A heart 1 An other heart! Alone, alone, alone! This world, which in your girlhood and boyhood was sunshine, is cold now, and, oh ! weary dove, you fly around this world as though. you would like to stay, when the wind, and the frost, and tba blackening clouds would bid you away into tbe heart ot an all com forting God. You may have noticed that when tho ebafflnch, or the stork, or the crane starts on its migration it calls all those of its kind to come too.

Their arrangement of flowers is always lovely, being moueis oi nar mony in form and color. There is no stiffness, for they try to imitate nature. I examined one rose bush in the pro cess of development, and found that almost every twig was tied with a fine thread and bent in the way it should grow.

In one of the meetings of the Amer ican Forestry Association held in Brooklyn lately Dr. Horace C. Hovey, of Newburyport, Mass., showed by specimens and by views tbe petrified fore&ts of Arizona. This great, tract of agatieed wood, at least 2003 acres extent, is near the station, of Corrizo and Adamannas on the Atlantio and Pacific Railroad, in Arizona, and re sembles an immense logging ramp with huge trunks thrown about. Tbe largest are ten feet in diamcttr, many of them severed as evenly as though cat up by a cross-cut saw, and the sections vary from disks like cartwheels to logs thirty and more feet long. Many cf the petrified logs have been broken into glittering fragments by action of the weather and by Indians and tour ists, and at every footfall the traveler ateps upon a moaaio or carnelian, agate, jasper, topaz, onyx and ame thyst. A petrified trunk 150 feet long spans a canon, and is known as the Agate Bridge. The name Chalcedony Park has been given to the tract. Cnri osity hunters, manufacturers and spec ulators are rapidly destroying its beauties, and recently a company pro ceeded to pulverize the chips and loge, the powder to be used in place of em ery. Car loads of the petrified wood are being shipped away for this use, and Dr. Hovey advocates the saving and protection of these dead forests in a publio reservation by tho Gov ernment. Scientific American. A DiminutiTe Specimen. There has died at his residence, Carniney, near Bally men a, Ireland, one who was reckoned to bo the most diminutive man in Ulster. His name was David Yaston, and his stature did not reach beyond the height of three feet. At the time of his death, which occurred on July 26, he had attained the age of about fifty years. He was a married man and leaves a widow and several of a family to mourn his early death. For years past he was well known throughout ISallymena and the district as an evangelistic preacher and carried on tue grocery business. Chicago Htrald. Bit the (jioat i:i Halve. A full growu goat was quietly browsing on the Bhore of Star Lake at Palmetto Beach, Florida, when a large alligator, fully ten feet in length, was seen by several persons to suddenly emerge from the reeds, and with one stroke of his ponderous jaws bit the goat in half. He disappeared for a few minutes and was then seen to rise again and take the other half of the euitnal that had been left on the shore. Atlanta Constitution. Will Wheat Turn to Cheat. Some who read this headline will say "yes" and swear to it, while others equally as well acquainted with the mysterious in agricultural lore, will declare that like produces like, and that one species of grain never sprang from another. There ia but one in stance on record in all the annals of agriculture where a spike of cheat has been found in a head of wheat. This curiosity is, or was quile recently tt least, preserved in the agricultural museum at Springfield, 111. St. Louis Republic.

The weak, emaciated, thin, pale s and puny are made strong, plump, round and rosy. Noth ing so effective as a strength restorer and flesh maker is known to medical sci ence; this puts on healthy flesh not the fat of cod livtr oil and its filthy compounds. It rouses every organ of the body to ac tivity, purifies, enriches and ' vitalizes the blood so that the body feels refreshed and strengthened. If you are too thin, too weak, too nervous, it may be that the food assimilation is at fault. A certain amount of bile is necessary fo the reception of the fat foods in the blood. Too often the liver holds back this element which would help digestion. Dr. Pierce'a Colden Medical Discovery stimulates, tones up and invig orates tbe liver, nourishes the blood, and the muscles, stomach and nerves get the rich blood they require.
