The Home Garden

For storing vegetables for winter use, one of the best wavs is to msko a mound shaped pit. Select as dry a place as possible, and remove throe ) or four inches of dirt. Place hay, i straw or leaves in the hollow from f which the dirt was removed. Pile )the vegetables in the form of a cone land cover them with several inches of the same material that was used to lay them on. Cover this with thre-? or four inches of dirt and later, as the weather gets colder add more dirt. If desired another layer of straw con be placed over the earth and then more earth added. If the weather is extremely severe cover v.ith fodder in addition to what has already been done, for ventilation allow the straw, us?d to cover the vegetables to project through the top of the cone. This may be covered with a board to prevent rain from entering. '- It is well to make several smaP

pits rather than one large one. By

.this n ans all the vegetables can do removed when the pit is opened. ' It is convenient to store several Varieties of vegetables in one. pit, so that you may have a supply of various kinds. Place any not needed for im mediate use in a cool place for use as needed. v Many people store vegetables in a barrel. Make a depression and cover With straw and lay the barrel on the 8tr;iw. Cover the same as before.

These trees have largely given place to a number of better varieties, including Grinu-s Golden, Rome Beauty, Winesaps, etc The Whiteley place is well known foi its Poland China hogs, as well as for its orchard, and while Mr. Whiteley takes personal charge of the orchard, his partner in the hog business looks after the live stock and other general farm interests.

to deliver at the meeting, and it is

An active membership campaign is planned for. HARRISON TOWNSHIP MEETING Farmers of Harrison township met in regular monthly session at Odd Fellows' hall in Jacksonburg on Thursday evening, township chairman, A. H. Harmel, presiding. A number of those present met the new county agent for the first time, this being his first opportunity to meet and talk with the membership, in session. Mr. Dolan was given a cordial welcome and gave a timely talk on the hot water treatment of wheat for smut, and what was required in the operation, with a description of the treatment given to a lot of seed wheat at the Clark Crowe farm a few ,days ago. The speaker advocated community plants for this treatment, because of the labor and time involved in the work. Sow Wheat Now. "The strings are all off now," said Mr. Dolan, "and you are at liberty io sow with all assurance that you are doing so at a safe date." He explained that the life fly was short, only three days after emerging from the flaxseed stage, during which it laid itb eggs in the growing wheat, and not in any grass, oats, etc. If there were no growing wheat to lay the eggs in, the wheat would not be infested. The hatching began about September 20,

and continued for a few days only, perhaps three. Supper October. After some discussion it was voted that the meeting to be held at Jacksonburg on Oct. 27 should be of a social character, and that lunch will be served. This is the date set for the drive in Harrison township, and a state man will take part in the drive on that day. The chair appointed a committee on supper arrangements, as follows: Joseph Brooks, Elmer McGrew, John Walters, Vera DeHayes and Frank Jacobs. None of these men be it said, are expected to cook anything, but to dig up the money, get out a crowd, etc.

COMPANY APPEALS TO PURLIC GENEROSITY

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1. An appeal to the generosity of the public was made today by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company in an effort to increase its revenue. Signs reading: "Will you pay five cents now for each ride?" were placed on the front of each car, while within the cars, signs stating that the P. R. T. asks everybody to begin now paying five cents, no transfers, no exchanges. The company, whose application for a discontinuance of free transfers and three cent exchange tickets, has been held up by the state public service commission in a statement said the signs should not be construed as a refusal to give transfers or sell exchange tickets, but that they would be furnished to anyone requesting them. If its application for abolition of free transfers and exchange tickets is held up longer, the statement said, and the voluntary response of the public is not such as to provide the necessary revenue, the company "to avoid bankduptcy," will be forced to file a new tariff for an eight or ten cent fare."
