The warmer the storage room the less should be the depth of the pile. If the bulk is too large, heating may result which will start new growth or cause the vegetables to mold and shrivel. If the depth must be greater than three or four feet, place slatted ventilation shafts up through the piles of vegetables. Racks: These generally consist of a series of slatted shelves built into one side of the storage room. They are for such vegetables as cabbage, squash or onions, which can be stored only in small quantities and require better cireulation of air. Such racks are usually abov\ three feet square Specially â€" built â€" cellar: Specially | built storage cellars for fruits and | vegetables are best built wholly or at, least partly underground. Fruits, poâ€" tatoes and other root crops are kept best at a temperature of 40 deg. F.;' the normal temperature of the ground is approximately 50 deg. F., which, is too high for ideal storage condi-l tions. Consequently, a cellar or cave, even though wholly underground, with no cooling system is generally too warm. 1 x 4 boards nailed one inch apart. These will let cool air pass underneath and on all sides of the contents, thus cooling the stored vegetables. During the fall months when crops are stored, the night temperature drops near or below the freezing point. If the cellar is opened up durâ€" ing the cool nights, cold air will come through the coldâ€"air intakes, and the warm air passes out through the ventilator. In this way the air can be changed many times during the course of a single night, thus thorâ€" oughly cooling the cellar before mornâ€" ing. Early in the morning the cellar should be closed ard not opened until the weather will permit without again warming up the interior. In very severe weather the coldâ€"air inâ€" takes should be closed. _‘ _ _ __ If the cellar contains a furnace the awir is sure to become too dry during the colder months. A heavy shrinkâ€" age of the vegetables results, with a consequent loss in quality. _ Where part of such a cellar can be partitionâ€" ed off and fixed up like a specially built one, results are quite as satisâ€" factory. Ficld Storage: This consists for the most part of deep pits dug in the ground, ‘lined with straw on which vegetables are piled. Over the top is put more straw and then a light covering of earth. As the season adâ€" vances more coverings are added until there is sufficient protection from the coldest weather. Such pits must be placed in a light soil where the drainâ€" age is good, and ventilation should be provided where the quantity stored amounts to more than tén or fifteen bushels. Coldâ€"frames and hotbed pits may be used in this way. Such field storage can be used for vegetables like potatoes, beets, carâ€" rots, etc., that will keep until spring. They are not suitable for large quanâ€" tities where the pits must be opened during the colder weather. | An airâ€"cooled cellar is equipped with ventilators at the top where the warm air will pass out; these ventilators are equipped with dampers which can be opened or closed as conditions warâ€" rant. Coldâ€"air intakes open into the celâ€" lar from the side walls just above the floor lines. These intakes can be made of sixâ€"inch sewer pipe joined one above the other just outside or in the wall. A damper is attached at the top so that the amount of air coming in can be regulated. '-V;g;ta't;lc_l should seldom be placed directly upon the floor of the cellar, as this provents the proper circulation of air. False floors should be provided. These are raised two or three inches off the bottom and can be made of three or fourâ€"inch slats spaced one inch apart, placed on pieces of 2 x 4. Upon these false floors the vegetables are placed in bins, racks or crates, according to their particular need. _ To secure the best circulation there should be false floors and walls made of 2 x 4 joists and studs cqve}'ed with Where the total amount is likely to average more than 100 or 200 bushels annually, the specially built cellar is recommended. For a smaller amount, the average house cellar will answer. Field storage is recommended â€" only for special conditions and where neithâ€" er of the other methods is available. Storing Vegetables the Right Way. There are three kinds of storage in general use for root crops: 1, specialâ€" ly built cellars; 2, cellars under resiâ€" dences; 3, field storages. Cellar under residence: In modern houses wheré part of the cellar has been specially built for storing vegeâ€" tables, results are satisfactory. Howâ€" ever, some farmhouse cellars are not adapted to this purpose. Some have no drainage and water accumulates, often to considerable depth. Quite a few have no ventilation other than the windows; as a result the air beâ€" comes stagnant, decay organisms beâ€" eome numerous, the temperature is unequal and variable, and conditions in general are more or less unsanitary. pesseâ€"al Comysag _ Sneezing, from remote times, has ‘ been held ominous. Our forefathers went to bed again if they sneezed | while putting on their shoes. A sneeze | to the right was deemed lucky; to the left of evil portent. To sneeze near a burial place was unlucky. Tradition has it that at first sneezing was a \fatal sign, every human being sneezed ‘but once, and then died, but Jacob | petitioned the Creator to remove the ‘sneezing ban, and succeeded. Thence arose the once universal custom of saluting a sneezer with "God bless you," or "May you live long." In an old book, "Th@#Code of Conduct," it is directed that "if his lordship sneezâ€" es ye art not to bawl out, "God bless you,‘ but bow to him handsomely." All over the world the sneeze was recogmized. Whole nations were under orders to make exclamations when their king sneezed. Sneezing was beâ€" lieved to be a sure cure for coughs, and was also looked upon as a sign Parsnips: Dig in the late fall and store like beets or carrots. _ Small quantities are best stored in moist sand as they remain fresher. They may also be left in the ground over winter and dug in the early spring before growth starts. Freezing in the ground does no harm and is claimed by some to improve the quality. Potatoes: This is one of the easiest crops to store: Quantities up to 200 or 300 bushels can be easily kept in a farm storage cellar. Place them in bins from four to six feet deep and of any convenient length. Shut out light to prevent excessive sprouting in the spring. Handle tubers with care when digging so as not to bruise them, and throw out all that show .signs of rot. Potatoes freeze at about 28 deg. F., but it is best to keep the temperatare above 32 deg. F. Carr®®s: Large quantities should be handled the same as beets. Small lots are best kept in moist sand. : ¢ of sanity. The second method is to pull up the cabbabe, roots and all, and place the heads upside down in a regular order in the field. Place the heads close together in long rows, usually two or three wide with a second row resting on top in the interspaces. Throw a light covering of five or six inches of earth over them, leaving just the roots exposed. Let the cabbage reâ€" main untouched until the ground freezes. It should be taken out in November, the heads removed, and stored in the cellar as described absve. Onions: These should be pulled and left in the sun to dry. Twist the tops‘ off, place the onions in slatted crates‘ and store where they can get plenty of air. They need a fairly low temperâ€" ature but less moisture than the root crops. _ Where the temperature is above 50 deg. F., the onions will soften or start to grow. Pumpkins: These should be removed from the vines when ripe; leave the stems on. Store in a warm room where the air is dry. An attic, a shed or a loft in the barn where they will not freeze will do. _ They may be placed in the racks with the other vegetables when it is not intended to keep them longer than the holidays. They should be examined frequently and those that show any signs of rot removed. Tomatoes: It is often possible to prolong the season of ripe tomatoes until Christmas, if proper storage precautions are taken. The vines are very sensitive to frost and should not be allowed to suffer a heavy freeze. The temperature should be watched and the vines pulled just preceding the first killing frost. Hang the vines by the roots to the ceiling of the storâ€" age cellar, or in any convenient place where they will not get too cold. The tomatoes will gradually ripen. > and placed in tiers from six to twelve inches above each other. If they are made to pull out like a drawer they will be much more convenient. Crates: Many packages such as barâ€" rels, vegetable boxes and slatted bushel boxes are successfully used. The small sized provides for sufficient ventilation and they may be tiered up to any convenient height. The slatted crate is more desirable than the other kinds. Storage for Different Crops. Beets: The best size for table beets which are to be stored varies from two to three inches in diameter. The tops are twisted off by hand, the beets are dried im‘ the air and immediately stored. If the leaves are cut off the stems should be left a half inch or more long, as there will be less evapâ€" oration and they will cook better. Small quantities can be kept in sand where they should keep fresh until May. Cabbage can be stored in two ways. Where the heads are solid and well matured, remove the roots and most of the outer leaves. Place the heads on racks or two or three deep in bins. Ventilation should be ample and the room kept as cool as possible. If the temperature runs much above 40 deg. F., decay will begin. Split heads or those showing signs of rot should not be stored. Turnips: Treat the same as beets. Sneezing Bad Omen. _ The agricultural colleges are as a rule well equipped. _A good plan would be for you to visit your prJvin-l t« cial agricultural college and see the it Probably you can mention o dozen or more of the older generation of farmers who have never seen an agriâ€" cultural college and yet are successâ€" ful farmers. _ They have succeeded without special training. But if you consider carefully, perhaps you will find that they made needless blunders and experiments, costing them both time and money, before they found the right way. ¢ These men might have been even more successful if*they had had the advantages of special training. They have probably done the very best that they could with their limited knowlâ€" edge, but undoubtedly they, themâ€" selves, are the strongest advocates of the agricultural colleges. The agricultural colleges show how to apply the truths drawn from the sciences and hitch them up with upâ€" toâ€"date methods and the latest apparâ€" atus. _ Dairying, animal husbandry, farm mechanics, buttermaking and all the rest of the courses are based upon science. These courses are not merely related to agricultureâ€"they are a part of it. Your boy at an agricultural college learns the best wayâ€"the most efficient wayâ€"to do these things. He does his experimenting at the college â€"not on the farm where experiments are expensive. He does it under exâ€" pert supervision enabling him to do it correctly and to draw definite conâ€" clusions from his work. He learns exactly why he does certain things to get certain results. . â€" $ You believe in milk testing, don‘t you? And in soil analysis? In ferâ€" tilizing? In ventilation? In sanitaâ€" tion? In veterinary services when needed? These are a very few of the everyâ€"day things which are based upon chemistry. Besides these men who have sucâ€" ceeded without special training you probably know of a much larger numâ€" ber of untrained farmers who failed â€"undoubtedly in the majority of cases because they lacked fundamenâ€" tal knowledge. It is impossible to do any farm work intelligently without employing some scientific facts. It takes scienâ€" tific knowledge to feed hogsâ€"if you do it intelligently. Many farmers use scientific principles in their work every day and never know that they do or, in some cases, why they do it. You must believe in an intimate knowledge of plantsâ€"corn, wheat, oats, etc.â€"if you are a farmer. And also in a knowledge of animal life. Biology, the science of life, tells about these things. And so with the rest of the sciences studied in collége. If, then, a lack of knowledge is a great handicap to successful farming, the next question is: Will the agriâ€" cultural colleges supply this knowlâ€" edge? If the boy will do his part the college education will not only supply the fundamental knowledge but what is still better, will also teach him the proper application.

Model horse and dairy barns, model hog buildings, blooded animals, the latest apparatus in use in all linesâ€"all these will conâ€" vince you that your boy will have the advantages of a very practical eduâ€" cation. When your boy graduates from an agricultural college what results have you a right to expect of him? First of all a collegeâ€"trained farmer is an intelligent, scientific farmer using the most upâ€"toâ€"date methods and acâ€" quvainted with the best apparatus of his occupation.

Second he is able to make the most of himlelé in his lifeâ€"workâ€"he fills his job about 100 per cent. efficiently. Third, he has the ability to appreciate and enjoy farm lifeâ€"the ability to be happy in his work. Fourth, he is a wellâ€"eduâ€" cated citizen, and therefore a good citizen who can think for himself. Right here I‘d like to add some more subjects like economics, sociâ€" ology, psychology, etc., if I had space to explain definitely their value to your boy. But if he comes home and tells you that he‘s studying some of them, don‘t objectâ€"they‘re all right for him to study.

Matt. 21: 1â€"9, 15, 16. Golden Text, Matt. 21: 9. The first lesson for the quarter now ending gave us its central and preâ€" vailing theme: The Church, Its Life and Work. The ~review may dwell upon this theme, and the questions raised may be of the nature and meanâ€" ing of the Church, its membership, its sacraments, its helpful and inspiring fellowship, its private and public worâ€" ship, its work of winning souls and spreading the Gospel throughout the world, its interest in every good word and work and especially in movements for social betterment, its ideals and laws, its hope of the life that is beâ€" yond, and its guideâ€"book of faith, the Holy Scriptures. It is well that we should seek to gain a true conception of what the Church is. We must avoid the two extremes as often met with in these days, the one Of identifying the Church with some special form or organization or institution, and the other of disregarding or making light of all forms and all organization. The simple, primary fact is that the assoâ€" ciation, or fellowship, or companionâ€" ship and coâ€"operation, of those who believe in and follow Jesus Christ makes His Church _ Where two or three are gathered in His name He is‘ present in their midst, and that is I“‘ that is essential. In the time of the apostles and the first preaching of the Gospel we read of "the brethren" (Acts 1: 15), of them that received the apostles‘ word and continued in their teaching and fellowship (Acts 2: 41, 42), of them that believed and were together and had all things comâ€" mon (Acts 2: 48, 44), of the apostles‘ "own company" (Acts 4: 23), who were "of one heart and soul" (Acts 4: 32), and of the increasing number of disciples (Acts 6: 7), who wherever they went abroad preached the Gospel and formed communities of those who believed (Acts 8: 4), which communiâ€" ties were at once ealled churches, or, as a whole, the Church (Acts 9: 31 and 13: 1). So it has been through all the centuries and in every land, since those days. They who believe in and follow Jesus come together that they may help each other and may further extend His gospel. folke on the farm tasted awbetp the bacon and ham ever possibly The Church has the best things on its program. The League of Nations was planned by it centuries ago. It stands forâ€"justice to all. Its symâ€" pathies are with the poor and with all who suffer. The Church for the souls of all. Can any onecfi.\u afford to remain outside its fellowship and its activities? Above all, the Church with its gmq evangel led men to faith in God and| gave them hope for the future. The, common things of life were glorified in its t?x,chigghapd given a rignifl-i cance of imfhortality. Men were enâ€" | abled to see life in n’ relation to eternity. The gospel the Church: demanded the making tge most of this life in the light of that which is to come. It broadened human sympathâ€" ies and broke down ancient barriers or race and creed and color, establish-: ing a real brotherhood. It put master, and slave, rich and poor, high and low,| great and small upon an equality in the sight of God, as brothers beloved (Philemon 16). It pointed ta the conâ€"‘ summation of human relations in a‘ holy citizenship, a "household of God"| (Eph. 2: 19â€"22), which is the Church‘s‘ ideal in all ages. | Baptism became the sign of formal entrance to the Christian community, and the Lord‘s Supper the symbol and formal recognition of its fellowship, In its meetings men talked and prayed together, read the Holy Scriptures, to which were now added the Gospel narâ€" ratives and letters of counsel and inâ€" struction from the apostolic leaders, sang hymns of praise and listened to words of instruction or exhortation. In such meetings were planned the first great missionary enterprises, under the inspiring guidance of the Holy Spirit {see Acts 13: 1â€"3), and to them were welcomed the returning missionâ€" aries, who "rehearsed all things that God had done with them." The Church speedily found, as it still finds, its distinctive work to do. It provided food for the hungry and clothing for the poor in daily minisâ€" tration {Acts 6: 1 and 9: 36â€"39); it proclaimed the gospel of God‘s love in Christ and bore witness to His resurrection. The missionaries of the Gospel went abroad to many lands, founding churches, teaching in schools, rebuking crime and superstition and idolatry, endeavoring ~ to establish clean living and pure morals and right and just relations between all classes. Their work was mighty in the overâ€" throwing of ancient strongholds of error, but in the highest sense conâ€" structive in that it aimed to build and to sanctify the life of the home and of the state.

In fact, it really helps to make the bread the cooks and bakers bake. Yet, though my heart is true and right, I never wished to go and fight. Another funny thing I‘ve found: just now I‘m standing in the ground; but some bright day, in some strange way, I shall be ground myself, they say.

Now light the candle and place the fiame close to the side of the tumbler. The tumbler will soon begin to move down the inclined ?luw and will fall off unless you stop 6.

The present generation of poultryâ€" men does not seem to believe in whiteâ€" washed walls in the hennery, I do. Whitewash, especially when some good disinfectant (such as a coalâ€"tar product) is mixed with it, not only gives the premises a cheerful appearâ€" ance, but is a valuable vermicide and September is a good time to look around for new blood. An extra mals or a few yearling hens purchased now can be secured at a better price than later on. New stock may be the means of preventing troubles that are sure to follow too close breeding.© The arrangement of proper winter quarters is worth considering. Steps must be taken that will mean comfort. It must be borne in mind that overâ€" crowded flocks are not comfortable. Advantage should be taken of the fine weather in making repairs, putâ€" ting on new roofs and cleaning up the premises. No time should be lost in getting ready for winter, which will soon be here, and which may be a severe one. The poultryman who preâ€" pares for the worst is the one who is never caught napping.

It was a very good tournament," said Uncle Jim; "the most interesting that the Country Club‘s ever had. I think Jack Partridge won the cup, as usual, and Thayer Stevens won second prize.
