Agricultural ] Keeping Sweet Potatoes. I Weall can make sweet potatoes, but only a few can store them successfully. We think we are 0 safe in saying that 90 per cent of y our loss results from two things: t Either we cover them up too tight before they undergo their t sweat and dry out properly, or t we allow leaks to wet them during the winter rains. There are a several ways to keep potatoes successfully, but they all depend h upon keeping the potato veutilat- t ed or isolated and to keep them t J _ J A . A A ury ana ai even Temperature. Auy plan that will accomplish r this, will keep your potatoes un- c til they come in again. t 1. All are familiar with the o old style of banking with straw, b cornstalks and dirt. There is no ? better way, if you will only take * pains to build a good rain proof n shelter over these banks. Nearly 0' all the heating and rotting is v started by the potatoes becoming wet sometimes during the win- 1( ter. h 2. We have been most success- c' fnl by having a house with dirt floor and banking our potatoes in this house, leaving the top of 81 the hills open until about the 20th u of December. This allows them " plenty of time to go through their " sweats and become perfectly dry. R Many people obtain good results r] fiom putting a ventilation up n through the center of the hill. a This is done by taking three or P four planks and nailing together, 0 and boring holes along in them 81 and putting in the center and piling your potatoes around it. * Where the potatoes are dug when land is wet or damp, this is very 11 beneficial. 0 3. The plan of having bins and storing them in a house and in dry sand, is a good one, Pr?-jj vided von secure vour sand when it is dry. We heard of a gentleman in Fayette county, who moved from Pike and he carried his dry sand for his potatoes with him, hauling it over sixteen miles. 4. Some few have built regulai j potato houses, with apartments 1 and lines. These are expensivt j and are needed only by exten- | sive growers. The potato crop has always been ati important one in the South, but now with the impetus giveu by the canning ol them and soiling in Northern markets, it will become more and more so each year. Hundreds ol dollars are wasted each year, oi account of allowing the vines to waste. They should he fed to horses, cows and hogs. Just before you get ready to dig them, begin to feed to all your stock, and when you dig, haul up these vines and feed them. There is one word we farmers need to stress now more than any other, it is?utilize. Waste nothing. Utilize everything should be our w??i 'i-i* j iiivjiiu.??ouu luern v^uiuvaior. 1 , . _ , , ( "What tire your liabilities ?" asked the lawyer of the bankrupt j press agent.

Farmers are urged to treat all f their seed wheat for the preention of smut aud thus save heir wheat crop. Formalin treatment is perhaps he easiest to apply and as effecive as any. Formalin can be purchased at ny drug store. Of late numerous inquiries ave beeu received regarding he treatment of seed wheat for he prevention of smut. The smuts are destructive paasitic plants belonging to the las9 known as fungi. There are wo classes of smut which attack ur grains, the stinking smut or unt which attacks wheat only, nd the loose smut which attacks 'heat, oats, and barley. The forlor can be easily distinguishd from the latter in its having a ery characteristic odor and detroys the kernel only, while the >ose smut not only destroys the ernel but also more or less of the half. If some of the wheat fields of tie territory be infected with mut it is only a question of time ntil practically all of our wheat 'ill be so diseased. The pores of tie smut are carried and blown bout by the wind; they are car led and spread by the threshing lachine. This calls for co-opertive and persistent work on the art of the farmers as the work f only one or two farmers in a action will accomplish very litle. If each farmer who raises 'heat, whether it be much or ittle, treats the seed carefully t will only be a few years until ur fields will be free from smut, 'his means much to the producr, as only a small per cent, of mut makes the wheat practical y worthies? for milling purpos>s. Treatment: Mix one pound of ormalin in fifty gallons of water. Jlace the seed to be treafpd in lurlap sacks and submerge in he solution for ten minutes, dry the Feed and it is ready for ise. If the sacks be only partly iiled it will be much easier to ihurn them around in the solu1011 and get all the wheat in con act with it. Copper Sulphate Treatment: dissolve one pound of commeriial copper sulphate in twenty 'our gallons of water. Immerse he grain in this solution for welve hours, after which place he seed in lime-water made by dacking one pound of lime and hen diluting to ten gallons with vater. There are other methods of reatment, such as the hot water reatment and corrosive sublimate. But they are more difli suit to apply ; tor instance, in :he hot water treatment the wa:er must be kept at a certain emperature, which is very difli;ult to do on the avarage farm ; ind great care must be taken with the corrosive sublimate, as t is a deadly poison.

Southern Cultivator. 1 send you a sure remedy for i founder; which I have never , known to fail to effect a cure in , a short time. Take a large iron 1 spoon heaping full of common salt, put on the root of horse ton- I gue. You will see a change for ^ the better in twenty-four hours. \ 1 have cured some very bad cas- ' ee ; next day repeal the dose. If you give the remedy as soon as ( you discover the horse is found- ^ ered you will not have to give j the secoud dose. You can tell ' if foundered by the horse being stiff and sore in his feet as though < he had been driven hard. Don't 4 say this is too simple, but try it. I 2. Colic: Take four table- ? spoonfuls of black powder and dissolve in a pint of water; ( drench the horse. I have never ( known it to fail. J Another simple remedy for co- ' lie is a good-sizad dose of mornhinp nnt it. on hin tnr?trna tha I same will cure a cow that has | been poisoned from eating Buck- I eyes. " 3. Blind Staggers: Saturate a towel with chloroform and ap- 4 ply it to the nostrils nntil the ( animal is thoroughly under the influence,then bleed freely in the neok; pour on top of the head 4 eight or ten buckets of cold wa- ( ter and give immediately a half J pound of epsom salts ; after pour- " ing the water wrap an old quilt around the head, to produce a 4 reaction. Do this and save your | horse. i L. Warren. ' Just a Girl. * l Many a throne has had to fall For a girl, Just m girl.
