PHYSIOLOGY “tectrie Various Methods Over derground Keeping for Winter—A Potato Root Pit House Pota joes and an some sections of the and country the commonest way for keeping potatoes ver winter. especially early potatoes for seed, is to store the tubers in cool, well venti- lated cellars Opinions vary as to whether the potatoes should be packed in large bins or in smaller lots in boxes or barrels, but it would seem that most growers store in large masses. It pays, as all agree, to shovel or handle the seed potatoes over several times during the winter. The suggestion is made in Rural New Yorker—from which journal the potato pit here illustrated was taken —that potatoes could be stored success- fully in sacks, which could be emptied and refilled once each month or six weeks during the winter.

The coop can be made larger for Asiatics and over half a pound more. Take two barrel hoops and not six slats pieces of lath; cross two of the pieces in the bottom hoop; fasten them together in the middle with a clout or wrought nail: fasten the other four to the top hoop with clouts; fasten the lower ends to the bottom hoop by driving two small nails through them into the hoop end into the ends of the crossed laths, and your frame is completed. Take a piece of coffee sack, or similar stuff, and cut it round and a little larger than the bottom hoop; lash or sew it to the bottom hoop and to the créss pieces. Take earth, the ends of the pit being left open. Later the ends are closed, and a-smallis afforded by “amount of ventilation means of a whisk of straw, which extends up through the center of the covering to the open air. In the illustration, A represents a pole supporting the boards; B, six inches of earth; C, eight inches of manure; D, six inches of earth; H, eight inches of manure; F,a straw ventilater, and G, aspace of eight inches between potatoes and boards. <> Dy Ke ; 3 sy ~~ \ WO a NK FIG. 2—AN UNDERGROUND ROOT HOUSE.

Potatoes. Gardeners, asa rule, are in favor of changing the seed of potatoes frequently. Experience seems to have proven the de sirability of this change, and leaves little doubt but that planting the same kind year after year on the same soil tends to weaken the variety. Things Worth Knowing. The very best treatment of prevention in all cases. Sugar beets are an excellent oe is feed for sheep. It pays to encourage the boys on a farm. It is economy to secure all the wood. ashes for a fertilizer. Lime would not be a good application unless there be a considerable amount of vegetable matter in the soil already, or added before appplying the lime or in connection with ti a lime. Lime ought al- ways to le applicd on. tie surface, especially cn scils casily penetrated, or with the ce ucep Lelow the surface. Give charcoal to pigs occasionally to prevent acidity of the stomach.

Southern Cultivator is responsible for the following: Cut the beef in convenient pieces and salt down as usual, adding a ‘‘pinch” of saltpeter to each piece. Let it remain in salt three days; then drain off the bloody brine formed by the salt, wipe each piece with a clean cloth and repack in the tub or other vessel used; a syrup or molasses cask will answer, but not a whisky barrel. For the brine, take as much water as will cover the beef; ‘add salt until no more will dissolve; a tea cup of ground saltpeter and a quart of molasses, or its equivalent of brown sugar. Boil and skim well. When the brine thus prepared is entirely cold pour it over the beef and keep the latter well pressed under the brine. These proportions are for 200 pounds of beef. If the brine should mold in warm weather reboil and skim it, adding half pound of cooking soda, the beef. and The amount of when cold return tobacco grown of to late years in Cermeny hes been sufficicnt to ave some Ss on the American trade. Surgery. surgical achieveKlein are chron- icled in Memorabili¢u, a professional journal. A man accidentally had the great toe of the left foot cut off in the middle of the first joint. The severed piece remained hanging to the foot, but the connecting skin was scarcely thicker than a thread. Dr. Klein sewed or the fragment, dressed it with iodoform, and had the satisfaction, in twentyuwo days. of finding the wound healed and the toe perfectly sound and flexible. Encouraged by unexpected success, Dr. Kleip, who is a German military surgeon, applied similar treatment in another’ inA recruit, in order to disable himself and so escape from military service, deliberately cut off his forefinger with an ax at the second joint. The finger end was lost and could not be found untih half an hour had elapsed. It was then cold aud biu> Nevertheless, Dr. Klein sewed it to the stump and applied a bandage of iodoform gauze. As early as the second day it was eyident that circulation had been partially re-established throughout the finger, and in six weeks the man had’not only left the hospital, but was loing the very rifle drill which he had hoped uo shirk. The finger was, in fact, as ser‘7iceable as it had ever b2en. There is a decidedly Munchausenish flavor about these stories, but their appearance in a reputable journal, together with the won. derful advances in modern surgical science, entitles them to some credit. The Prevention of Chilblains. To preve::t chilblains and cold and sweaty feet, keep the feet dry and warm. Wasi t.em several times a week, just before re tiring, in cold water (not ice cold), and rub them quite dry with coarse towels; wear thick woolen socks, and not cotton; provide yourself with two pairs of cork soles for your boots, and wear each pair aday at a time alternately, taking care to place the ones not in use near the fire, so that they may become perfectly dry. Should the linings of you boots indicate moisture, dry them also. Live Stock at the Chica go Show.

Ordinary are lights are incapable of producing such effects, as the light is not sufficiently intense; but these forges emita light of more than a hundred thousand candles from a few square centimeters of surface, producing on men exposed to their glare physiological consequences previously unheard of. Frequently, aiter two or three hours’ work, the men complain of pains more or less intense in the neck, the face and the. forehead, simultaneously with which the color of the skin is changed to reddish brown.
