Your trouble may not be their trouble, but perhaps the twenty or more farms visited will give some idea of a few of the things that may keep poultry profits down.

Devoted 'mothers would shud- der at the thought of bringing harm- ful playmates into the lives of their children, and yet through the careless purchase of books they eften intro- duce their little ones to vicious earn- pany. The advertising power of the illus. tration is the cause of much of the trouble. "Here am I," cries the pret- tiest picture book on th shop counter, and the purchaser looks no further. It is quite likely that this same book is the ussiel version of Cinderella, en- cumbered with the odious step -mother, not at all necessary to the plot, but contauting from one generation to another to an unwholesome prejudice. The charming Irish version, which en- tirely omits this character, is not so easily found by the casual buyer. If, however, the casual buyer wishes to become more purposeful, there is a long list of books full of helpful direc- tions which may be consulted. For tile sake .brevity only four are mentioned. These books are sug- gestive and contain many delightful stories, It is almost certain that one or more of them can be found in any public library, and a study of the sug- gestions and lists which they contain will be of great assistance.

Partridge; Educat- ing by Story -Telling, by Katherine Dunlap Cather; Stonlee to Tell to Children, by Sara Cone Bryant; Chil- dren's Stories and How to Tell Them, by S. Berg Esenwein and Marietta Stockard. Education Through Stories. The average child, by the time that he is four orfive years old, has devel- oped a -craving for stories. If he is attending a, kindergarten this instinct is developed and at least partly satis- fied there. But even, in that case he has the right to his half-hour at home when Mother or Father read or tell him stories, either at bedtime or any other more convenient time. How many parents realize that this little half-hour each day, if carefully planned for, may -be made an impor- tant introduction or addition to a child's education?. And this dos not mean that the material chosen need be ane bit less attractive to the Child. But if a mother, instead of merely picking up at random any one of the child's books—which may be good, bad or indifferent—and reading mechanic- ally merely to satisfy his demand, gives the matter just a little thought, the "story time" may be made very valuable as well as entertaining. There is a vast treasure of fablesi folk -lore, fairy -stories, poetry and myths of all lands and ages to draw from, which will furnish the child's imagination and give him an instinct for the worth -while things ib poetry and all literature. - The librarian of any large library will be glad to furnish a list of the very best juvenile bpoks to be read to smala children. But there is a great deal of material -for fasciriatin,g storl ies, history, nature study, snannal training and other subjects whieh is not in each convenient form, but any mother who Is interested can find it with the help of the -librarian or ay consulting the tables of contents in bouncl evolumes of the best children's "xnagagines; she can retell the material thus gained in a simple form. suitable to ,her own child. It is worth'while for any parent to give some time and study to planning definitely the ground to be covered, Lan if all the reading developsome general scheme and is not -purely hap- hazard, a very great and telling adcli- ticm to a boy's or girl's education may be made with very slight effort on the part of the parent. • The -following references may be helpful to parents.

Beets, carrots, parsnips, turnips, and rutabagas are all taken up just before the ground is likely to freeze. We take the tops off, but not too close, so the Toots will not bleed. These are stored in the different bins in the cellar. We used to cover them with sand, but of late years we have used, instead ef the sand, fresh, clean, spagnum moss. This seems to hold the right degree ef moisture, and is much easier to handle than sand or soil. .• We store most of the cabbage crop' in. an outside trench for spring sales; but what is wanted for our own winter use is kept in the cellar by fastening three or four heads together and hanging them from spikes driven in the joists. The stems and roots are! left on, but the outer leaves are cut off. Cauliflower cannot be kepi through the winter, bat if some of the least mature heeds are taken up and heeled - in in a cold -frame they may be kept a good many weeks. If cold -frames are not available, they may be kept in a cool shed With a dirt floor, or even in a cellar.
