It will be hard to make Winter milk without silage. To keep well sweet potatoes should be dug when the soil is quite. dry and afterward spread thin to cure for ten days at least in an out— building secure from rain and frost. Road dust one-third of which is composed of fine sand is best for packing in, Place a layer of dust in the bottom of box or barrel or whatever is used to pack in, then a layer of potatoes, being careful to cover every potato completely with dust before adding the next layer. The last layer is dust. We keep sweet-potatoes in this manner all winter, and they seem as fresh as when first packed. We keep them in an outhouse until severely cold weather, merely covering the boxes with carpeting, etc. . When se- vere cold sets in they are removed to a room where a fire is, kept part of the day only. Failure to keep well is often due to too much heat or packing away in too warm ma- Sales of Real Estate.

The pig is a soil improver if handled right. Feed the hogs on "the pasture or clover field instead of feeding where the wastes of the feed yard and the manure will wash faway. If the pigs are well fed on “products of the mill and grain their range cver the soil will surely im- proye thin land. The pig should | be so handled that the farm will be better for his having spent his short career upon it. The habit of allowing colts to follow the mares while at work cr on the road should be discouraged. This practice has been the cause of more trouble and annoyance than could herein be chronicled. Many a fine colt has been ruined from being caught in the drag, disk har- row or plow. On the other hand, not a few runaways and smashaps haye been caused by the mare fret— ting on account of the colt attempt- ing to follow some strange team. Whenever taking a mare to the field or to town leave the colt in some secure place where it can get exer=- cise and shade, and the comfort at— tending such practice will always be appreciated when once tried.
