Where the gar- dener's grounds are commodious there should be no' difaculty in selecting S01110 out-of-the-way ,place for ,the compost heap, but • in the small yard it may take,some „thought. and aelittle trouble to ,coecoca a suitable recep- tacle. Tramped" firmly in boxes dr barrels the leaves can be left in some out-of-the-way corner, or a hole can be dog. for them; tramped firmly and some soil spread on top, they will in the course of a season becbme a solid block of rich black humus. A large bin or crate call be readily made by fixing our strong post in the ground to form a square and then nailing boards or wire netting round them. Another method of storage is t build a wall of sod, either in the for of a square or an oblong. In this th leaves are tramped firmly in layers o about one foot. On this is spread thre or four inches of fresh manure the more leaves as before, alternating th layer of leaves with manure to any desired depth, the whole being covered with a roof of three-inch -sods. I,ate the following summer the entire mese Is turned over and mixed thoroughly, and it makes a pile of unexcelled ma- nurial matter. POULTRY -HOUSE ITEMIZER. But where no place is available for composting the leaves they may be dug into the soil as they are gathered The best plan is to opeh a trench along one end of the patch, into which a thick layer of the leaves is spread,. covering them with the next spading, continuing until the entire area is finished. . In whatever way the leaves are composted or piled, a little air -slaked lime should be used ae the woric pro- ceeds, scattering just sufficient be- tween each twelve -inch layer to whiten the surface. , Where chickens are kept their drop- pings make a splendid fertilizer if properly cared for, As- poultry ma- nure is very strong in ammonia, its loss must be prevented. That can only be done by keeping it dry. It is usual to find aime r -slaked libeing freely dusted on the boards, but this is,alto- gether wrong. The lime certainly keeps the home sweet, but its action on the droppings sets free the vela - able aInmoniae it is driven oft' as a gas and thus is lost. Gypsum or land plastee should be used instead, dust- ing it bver the perches and boatels daily, using more when the manure Is sereped off.

In light sandy ground the tubers, as a rule, come out clean and free from any heavy deposit of soil, even though the 'latter may be moderately wet but in heavy land the soil will not fall away from them as it should do unless it be moderately. dry. " When digging we should always choose fine ,dry days for the operation. Get as manyetaken up as possible dur- ing the early part of the day, bringing them well to the surface and spread- ing them out to dry as digging pro- ceeds. Then before evening they should all be collected together and covered over on the ground. It is, however'a better plan if, after being exposed for two hours or so they are taken into an open shed and spiced out to dry there. In this way much time will be ,savedeand the tubers will •then be handled in the finest possible condition. Some gardeners pull up all the vines before beginning to lift the roots, but this is pot a good way of going about it, for there is nothing left to guide them or show where each hill of roots is located, and the conse- quence is that an innumerable quan- tity of them are sp,oiled with the fork. The proper way of going about the work.is to ptfeh the fork in behind each hill and throw it forward. A few inches must be allowed for the crowd 0 of tubers which cluster near the base re of the stems. Be careful not to get e right on top of them with the fork, it f is best to push it in a little to the e side. When a quantity has been dug O and is spread on the surface, they should be sorted over, NEXT SEASON'S SEED. The seed for next season is now se- lected, choosing second -size tubers av- eraging two or three ounces each in Weight and taken from those hills which yielded well and heavily. The main crop is then picked up to store for winter. In whatever place it may be decided to store the best tubers, they Must never be put away until you are cer- tain they are thoroughly dry and the there will be no danger of any great loss or deterioration taking. place. .An open 'shed where the sun will not reach thero is an ideal place in which to, dry and ,cure the tubers before storing. Immediately they ate dey all light must be excluded, for if ex- poeed to bright light for. minty days they will become green, tlmreby im- pairing their flavor. It is ,an advan- tage to have them dried and stored away as qickly-as possible, Those 'se- lected for seed are not so carefully dealt with in this respect; in fact, they are all the 'better for becomihg quite green, as in this condition they seem to keep must better and are not so likely to- sprout prematurely: They should be epread ont thinly in shallow boxes and tetty be fully exposed to the light.

Then again there are places where you need a hedge as a protection to keep out trespassers, children and animals. There are a number of plants that make an attractive hedge and are not likely to be broken through by anything. that walks or crawls. Many double -purpose hedges of this character are just as beauti- ful as any other, , Without a doubt, the well known California Privet has been used for more hedges than anything else in the country. Its rapid growth, freedom from insects and disease, and the fed that it care be trimmed and sheared to any size or shape wanted; or allow- ed to grow without any pruning at all, where height is not objectionable, accounts for its Lerma popularity.

Splie a one -foot section of a three-inch pipe lengthwise with the hack saw and sharpen the lower edge of the por- tion to be used for the spoon'. Then drill two holes, about half an inch in diameter, at the centre of the un- sharpened end of the pipe. These holes should be an inch apaat. eight -foot length of one -inch pipe makes a serviceable handle..

It has been one of the many ro- mantic fancies of my life that Som - day, seated in front of a glowing fire- place, I would observe that holy of holies, the story hour, with my fair- haired boys and girls gathered at Inv knee. My girls, it is true, are fair- haired and dearly love stories though they are young yet, but they do not love "The story hour" as I had .so many times visioned it. Then, I was the story -teller and they the starry- eyed audience, know that I am not alone in this disillesionment for I have seen other mothers try the same thing and then abolish the story hour, saying regret- fully, "Somehow, iny children don't care much for stories. I guess they aren't like I was when I was a child. I used to sit by the lour and listen to my Mother and I well remember once how—"; "By the hour" was probably how it seemed to them and not to their mothers and they Probably listened much as do the children of to -day, by doing ail of the talking themselves, It took me a rather long time to learn my lesson. I hated to give in to the fact that I was -beaten and I would not give up that story hour, but at last I was forced to admit my defeat in order th keep the hour that has now become art even more -. pre . • mous thing than I had visioned it. I have come to a happy eoinprorniee, which is really what ell great happi- nesses are baeed om—we make tin out stories together, - I start in or one of the children starts, or sometimes we all just sit there ever so quietly until a new,thought'comes along and hoas right out of us. Or sometimes we have great fun telling nursery rhymes in tune—each one thinking' up hers while the one in turn before, recites. The littlest one of us, my baby of three, has th be started on her rhyme quite often or switched from her fav- orite recital, the "Now I lay me," prayer, which she cannot distinguish yet from good old Mother Goose. My other daughter loves to thll stories of real life as she sees it, stories about good little girls who drink all their milk every day for weeks and weeks and weeks and grow fatter and ',fatter and fatter until I am afraid they »will burst of goodness or too much milk. I get in one or two short funny stories each night but they must be very short and very funny. The ones which can be illustrated in life by the making of faces or gestures are the most popular. I have' learned how to tell a story and make it interesting (stubborn pride in my romantic fancy brought me to it and for once I can be thank- ful for my stubboremess) » but more than that I have learned how to ob- serve the story hour and make it happy, Let it be the child;ena story home guide their shapeless thoughts into aughing channele but Id it be their story always and you will find that they will love that time at your knee by the soft firelight quite as wdl 05 you and be Willing to sit there for {he hours that we all thielt weeee vividly remember. ta%1,11,1","it-aakeieraieeilerea.,=. sugr WREAr 'oilvtrA „.. 11 45' 31.9 gra 1 HAVING NO ENTANGLEMENTS EuROP onie, at the Eerepesoi goverinmente pee re,fustng offered leant; trom tha for ale pereheee of wbeet, In that emilltry, preferring to merchatee their evbeeeVer thee ehoeee, »«»IOrozsi usa NeW York World, KEEP AFTER THE IGNITION The veorking of the ignitien eyeecin effeme the performance of th0 eaglite to se groats eetent probably than any other one thing.

As soon there- after as possible, skim the sod -Those from the underlying soil in as thin a layer as possible. In small patches this may be done with a hoe; in larger patches with a plow, provided the plowshare is broad enough to cut the entire slice loose from the soil, and of course sharp enough. In plow- ing, plow just as shallow as possible -- certainly not over three inches deep. After, this, stir the sod with a harrow ' about once every ten days until cold weather. If the season is a very wet one, you may have to stir it oftener in order to keep the r6ots from getting attached to the -underlying soil again. If the season is dry they will die without so much stirring. We have known eonie* large fields of quack - grass to be completely exterminated in a single year by this simple method.

But if you're building, say, a marketing orgemiza- ton, and he shows you a fault at rock -bottom why, dern him, he's a knocker! Dispose of all hens that are not to be kept over for breeders just as soon as they step laying. If this plan is followed the marketing will be extend- ed over a considerable period. If you can get them all marketed before broilers become plentiful you are cer- tain th bthin much better prices than If you market them lathe in 'the season. After hens have been laying haw.. ily they are likely, to be thin in flesh and should not be marketed until put into good condition again. Even hens that have been loafing and. are con- sequently fat are not in as good con- dition for killing as they should be. Ten days feeding in the crates will make a great difference in these birds, as the crate feeding and the inactivity softens the muscles and makes the fowl much more tender and juicy. Broilers—Many poultry growers do not consider that special feeding of broilers is necessary. They think that because the chickens are young that they will be tender, and consequently they take them from the range and market them as they are. Such meth- ods tend to retard the demand for poultry meats. A consumer veho gets a broiler that is hard and stringy is1 not inclined to order another, but if he gees a broiler that has been prop- erly fed in confinement for from ten days to two weeks the quality will be such that he will want more. To properly finish either fowls or broil- ers they ehould be crate fecl. Nothing but soft feed should be used and. to get the finest quality it is necessary to mix ale mash with wife milk, in the proportion of about three peunds of milk to two pounds of vein.
