Just before freezing weath er evts 1" the potatoes ore carefully sorted, oiid those whlvih show the slightest slguy of decay are rejected, & layt* v>f etrav frpui »ight to ten thick 1« fpread on the grounc} (ind the tubers placed upon this straw. Tho plies should not be made too large. The best results are usually obtained from mounds three feet wide at the base and piled up In ridges ns high us convenient. A covering of straw Is placed over the potatoes, and this Is followed by a layer of soil from six to eight Inches thick, but before severe weather sets in more soil is added, and when the severest weather is at hand more straw or strawy burn manuro is added. The aim is to cover gradu ally as the cold increases. This meth od of storing potatoes seems to winter them much better for seed than when they are placed In root cellars or when they are stored in mounds Immediately after they are dug, says American Gardening. Low Truck For Ilanlinpr Fodder. A low truck for drawing fodder corn from the field is made from the front part of an ordinary farm wagon. A strong oak roach about a foot long re places the long.r one. To the rear end of this Is bolted an Iron clevis that holds a crossplece, as shown In the cut from tho Farm Journal. Far the plat- A FODDER CORN TBCCK. form two poles fifteen feet long are used. At two feet from the upper end holes are bored and they are pinned to the crosspiece mentioned above, tbe ends resting on the bolster about two Inches from the standards. The rear wheels are fifteen Inches In diameter, put on an iron axle, the whole taken from old farm machinery. Being so near the ground. It Is best to board up the lower end of the poles for five or 6lx feet. Emigration to Canadian sorfhw««t, The movement of-western farmers across the line Into northwest Canada has become almost a»i international topic, says the Orange Judd Farmer. The Dominion land office at Ottawa says that of 25,000,000 acres of land now owned by citizens of the United States a fifth of this vast area has been acquired during the past year and that perhaps 1,000,000 acres have been taken up by bona fli'.e settlers from the States. During the first six months of 1002 fully 21,000 American citizens settled In Manitoba, and the movement still continues. Our Cana dian friends need not worry over the alien element crossing the border from the United States, because these sturdy farmers who settle permanently in the northwestern frontier will become good citizens of Canada. A word of caution may not be out of place, how ever, to our own people In lowa, the Dakota s, who may eventually find they are making mistakes In mortgag ing their, farms in order to raise money to Invest in these new faroff lands. As a general rule, the words of the poet hold true, "To stay at home Is best." Agricultural Note a. Don't pick apples on the hot days that sometimes come in autumn. Have all fruit cool when taken In to be stored. For cabbagu worms that appear late in the season pyrethrum or saltpeter at the rate of a teaspoon ful to a gallon of water can be used with good results. Grand Rapids Is a favorite forcing lettuco. The American persimmon makes a handsome tree ornamentally consid ered. It has dark green leaves that re main on late In the fall. Harvest the turnips, mangels and cabbage before the winter shuts down. Modifying It. Mrs. C. was horrified to discover that her little seven-year-old daughter was acquiring the habit of alluding very freely to the devil, and at last she told her determinedly that a repetition of the obnoxious word would bring severe punishment The child knew that her mother was In earnest, so she set a seal on her Hps. At last she seemed to have forgotten It, but one Sunday Mrs. C„ who had been too 111 to go to church, asked her i If she could tell what the minister had preached about In his sermon. "Oh, yes'm." she answered "He preached about our Lord going up Into the mountain and being tempted by— by—by the gentleman who keeps hell!" She didn't Intend to run any risks of being punished.—Francis E. Wadlelgb In Llpplncott's. Billiard Term*. "What are the principal shots In bil liards?" asked the fair young damsel of the wise young man. "The kiss, the follow, the bank and the draw," he replied, "llow lovely!" she exclaimed. "It is almost like a courtship. First, the lover gets a kiss, then ho follows the girl all about and then"— "And then," Interrupts the man who aspires to pessimism—"and then they get married and he goes to the bank and draws, for that Is his cue, unless he wises to be frozen." (I'or the bene fit of the unsuspecting reader, adds the Baltimore American, we will state that "cue" and "frozen" also are billiard terms. There are still more than might be worked Into the little Jeu d'esprit, such as "scrutch," "break," "drive," "tip," "table." "run." etc., but lack of space prevents carrying the themo to the bitter end.! The goods we sell we guarantee pure and wholesome—no need of goverment stamps if you buy of us. REASON NO. 2.
