growers' urged to
save potato crop
H Reduce Wastago From Bad
H Storage Methods, Food Ad-
H ministration's Plea.
ADVICE GIVEN BY EXPERT
BB . .W"s,ll,1K'n--In nn effort to Olntln-
HH mil the wnstnge of potatoes which re-
Hj stilts every year from the use f Im-
I Jiropcr storage methods, Lou D. Sweet,
BR , 1"'fltl f tlio potato division of the Unit-
m1 Sink's food administration, has Is-
jH fined ii statement outlining the moth-
H oils thnt should ho adopted by llio
smnll grower to iirevent loss. Ills
MB -statement Is ns follows:
"It 1h of Rient Impnrtnnco thnt nil
tlio polntoes raised this yenr should
'', s,01t''l 'ider proper conditions.
B Jiven when every preeniillon Is taken
tlio wastage of potatoes during the
K winter Is considerable; under bud con
H Itlons of storage It Is very Brent In-
deed.
BIJ "In order thnt the best methods mny
bo ndopted hy the small growers, those
H who have not hnd the experience In
H the storage of potatoes, should know
the chief onuses of the wnstugo. These
causes nre:
BI "I. Sweating, heating and conse-
K qiient rot: often duo to liisutllclont
H ventilation.
"-'. Hotting, duo to polntoes Retting
BI wet nt the time of puttliiB them In

f ".1. Injury from frost.
J "I. Decny, owing to dlsenso In the
J tubers nt the Hum of storage.
'VS. Sprouting of tubers In the
J spring.
BE Losses May Be Reduced.
E "It Is not possible to prevent nlto-
Rether losses from these onuses, hut
n by using the best methods of storage,
E It Is possible to rediico them very mo-
BE! terlully.
H "This mny be done by tnklng cure to
K 'guard ngnlnst losses from ench of
g these causes:
BJ "Sweating mid beating occur If tho
ft freshly ,iu3 potntoes nro piled In too
B lnrgo piles, so thnt the nlr ennmU clr-
B culnto between the tubers. Tho risk
I of loss from this cuuso Is greatest In
the full, Immediately after tho tubers
j have been dug, nnd It Is, therefore, lm
J portnnt that potntoes when dug should
not be put In unnecessnrlly largo piles,
nor kept In mi lll-venllhitcd room.
H "If the potntoes nt tho digging tlma

your potntoes dry before storing,
jj "Potntoes nre easily dnmnged by
AV frost. If they become frozen, there
BF , market vnluo Is destroyed. Therefore,
J tnku preenutlnn to protect the tubers
from frost before nnd after digging.
BJ Eliminate Diseased Tubers.
BJ "There nro several diseases of tho
lintnto which destroy tho tuber, nnd If
diseased tubers nro mixed with tho
H ounil ones, tho illsenso sprends rup
H Idly; therefore. It Is necessary to sort
Hm potntoes cnrefully, ellmlnntlng nil
of tho disease, the cuts, culls, nnd dirt
lieforo placing them Into permanent
storage for tho winter. All of tho
cuts, culls, misshapen and dlsenscd tu-
tiers should bo fed to tho poultry and
J llvo stock, but should bo steamed or
boiled before being foil, us In this way
you Inerenso tho food vnluo, nnd nlso
destroy tho germs of the disease, sa
that It will not get Into the manure
nnd thence Into tho Innd.
"ny proper vontllntlon of the collar
or storago room, und by holding tha
tempernturo ns near !15 degrees V. as
possible, you enn keep the potatoes
from sprouting.
"Seed for nlixt yenr's planting
should bo selected from hills that pro
duco nil nice, truo to type potntoes.
These should bo selected nt tlio dig
ging time, and stored separately In
orntoH or boxes, nnd by storing them
In n wolMlfjhted room where the tem
perature cun be held at from 34 to 10
degrees, with n llttlo ventilation nnd
this peed planted next spring, tho
grower will make n Btnrt toward Im
proving tho quality of his potntoes, In
stead of ns In the past, simply plant
ing tho culls or runouts."
Farming Without Hands.

Immediately after his recovery, tho
peasant girl to whom bo had been en

INGREDIENTS OF DRY RATION
Should Not Be Different From Those
Fed to Cow at Other Tlmeo
Qlvo Some Roughage.
Tho Ingredients of tho ration for
tho dry cow should 'not bo so very
different from thnt fed at other times.
In order to cut down on the fat-pro-duclng
elements, hominy Is frequently
used In place of corn, ltnin nnd oats
a ro both rich In mineral matter which
goes to give hone to tso unborn calf.

these concentrates eight to teu pounds

SEPARATING CALF FROM COW
Allow Young Animal to Remain With
Dam for Day or So That It May
Receive tho First Milk.

It Is well to allow tho calf to re
main with tho dnm for n dny or two
In order Hint It may receive the co
lostrum, or first milk. Colostrum milk
has n purgative effect which ulds In
cleurlng out tho calf's dlgestlvo sjs
tern. If the mot her's milk Is very rich,
It may bo necessary to feed milk with
it lower percentage of buttorfnt.
It Is somewh.-U easier to tench young
calves to drink than It Is to teach old
er ones, but In either case It Is neces
sary for tho calf to become hungry by
the omission of ono or more feeds be
fore It will drink milk from n pajl.
One method of teaching the cult to
drink Is to get It to suck the attend
nnt's linger us Its moutb.comes In con
tact with the milk In tho pall. Tho
linger cun bo withdrawn gradually,
nnd tho calf will usually continue to
take In tho milk. ratlence, rather
thun force, Is u prerequisite on the
part of the feeder.
SPRAY MIXTURES FOR COWS
Ohio Experiment Station Recommends
Fish Oil, Oil of Tar and Crudo
Carbolic Add.
Spray mixtures mny add to tho com
fort of n cow by keeping off numerous
llles. Severn! of these compounds may
bo mixed nt home.
A mlxturo recommended for this
purpose Is given In Bulletin 207 of the
Ohio experiment stntlon us 100 pnrts
of llsh oil, CO parts of oil of tar, and
one part of crudo carbolic ntid. An
other formula. Is one-half gallon of oil
of tor, one-hnlf gallon of cottonseed
oil, nnd ono-lmlf pint of crudo carbolic
add. Such mixtures sprayed on cattle
keep off llles for n time.
COWS NOT MILKED PROPERLY
Not Much Gained by Feeding Unless
Farmer Gets All the Milk and
Butterfat Feed Makes.
Thero Is not much to bo gained by
feeding u cow unless you nro deter
mined to get nil tho milk nnd butterfat
tho feed mukes. You ennnot get ull
tho milk nnd butterfat tlio feed makes
unless you milk tho cow right. A largo
percentage of cows nro not milked
right, bo n lnrgo loss of milk und u
larger loss of butterfat result. It Is
as Important that cows ho well milked
ns It Is thut they bo well fed.
