DIFFERENT STORAGE HOUSES NOW IN USE Insulated Structure Best Adapted to Southern Climates. Aroostook Type With Concrete or | Masonry Basement Walls and Wooden Superstructure Is Product of Maine. (Prepared by the Unfted States Depart i ment of Agriculture.) The insulated potato house is not used extensively, and as a rule is bet- | ter adapted to southern than to north- ern climates. The construction fea- ture of such a house is the thorough insulation of its walls, ceilings, doors, and windows. In northern locations such a house must be heated by a stove, The Aroostook type of storage house, with concrete or masonry basement walls and wooden superstructure, is ‘distinctively a product of Maine and confined largely to that state. It is! expensive and is always located on a side hill or knoll in order that ad- vantage may be taken of a ground level entrance. The basements are usually from 8 to 12 feet deep, and most of them have a capacity of several thou- sand barrels. Generally the/ only pro- vision for ventilation is by trapdoors in the floor through which the filling of the bins is completed. Occasional- 1y a ventilator is found in the r‘oot. These houses, although practi¢al in Maine, will never supersede the dugout pit or storage cellar now used in the middle and far western states. Each of these types of storages has distinc- tive features which peculiarly adapt it to its own environment, but do pot necessarily preclude use in other lo- calities. The artificially refrigerated potato storage house is confined practically to the storage of northern-grown seed potatoes held in cold storage for sec- ond-crop planting in the South. There is little demand for such a house in northern sections, but it is thought that community cold-storage plants of this type could be profitably used by the southern truck growers, as they could purchase their supplies of seed in the fall and have them delivered be- fore the arrival of cold weather. The seed notatoes could be stored through- out the winter in the house and be available in excellent condition when desired the following season. Helium Gas Cheapened. Up to 1915 the total output of helium gas in all the world had prob- ably been less than 100 cubic feet, and it was worth about $1,700 a cubic foot. But Just before the armistice was signed a shipment of 150,000 cubic feet of helium gas.was sent to Europe, and it costs less than 10 cents a cubic foot. Helium gas was first discovered on the sun, by spectroscopy. It is the best gas for use in balloons, because it i8 not inflammable. It is now ex- tracted from the natural gas of Texas and Kansas. The wmethod is delicate and com- plex, but is based upon the fact that the principal constituents of natural gas liquefy when cooled to about minus 329 degrees F., but that helium re- mains a gas at that temperature, and hence is easily separated. Do not forget to continue the fight on mites and lice. They must be fought all the time in all sections and in all seasons. * 2 @ Plowing up the old pasture for flax has one drawback that must be con- sidered—it may make the feed prob- lem harder to meet. . 0 w» Careful packing means much.

Don't be too anxious to sow flower seeds for next summer's growth until you have studied what you want to have in your garden and how you are to obtain the best results. . If you contemplate having a flower garden next summer, see to it that you reserve a place for some of the old- fashioned flowers. Oftentimes a bou- quet of these will bring more tender memories to your friends and awaken more of their gratitude for you than | any amount of the newer vatieties: February is a good month in which to start the cutting of geraniums and verbenas. Cuttings of verbenas start- ed now will root in about ten days. Always remember that tall plnnts,‘ like hollyhocks, castor beans, sunflow- ers and cosmos are best for back- grounds. Protecting plants from cold drafts bout windows is a matter of much im- rtance. In case of severe winter weather a certaln amount of cold can’ be warded off by placing over them Cones made of paper. Plants will seldom do well whera; gas and dust abound. Proper regula- tion of the heating apparatus will gen- erally eliminate the former and regu- lar spraying or sponging of the foliage of the latter. In doing this the under side of the leaves should be looked after, for it is there that insects first make their ap- i pearance and unless checked by spray- ing they will soon spread. Such house plants as geraniums, be- gonias, petunias, azaleas, fuclisias, he- liotropes, snapdragons and the like do best if not watered too often during the winter. But when it is done the soil should be thoroughly soakcd, and the temperature of the room kept a little higher for a few hours there- after. The best time to water these is in the morning and on a sunny day. For starting early. flowers, sow the seed in shallow boxes and plan to transplant the plants at least twice be- fore they are placed in the open ground. In order to have them do well it i8 also essential to put them where the temeprature is lower after each transplanting. In this way they will ! be “hardened off” and made more ' ready for setting out in the open ground. Considering the small amount of care it requires, there is no flower ' more sdtisfactory and beautiful than-¢ the dahlia. Such hardy bulbs as hyacinths, tu- lips, lilies, crown imperiais, phlox irises and the like do better, as a rule, if allowed to remain undisturbed in the ground for years. . If you have any cold-frame plants, | such as violets, roses and carnations, don’t fail to expose them more and | more to air for gradual hardening off before planting. Try growing geraniums this year. Next to cannas, they will give more satisfaction for the trouble expended than almost any other flower mentions able. Be sure to get those, however, | adapted for growing in beds. When your Easter lilies get through blooming water them until the leaves begin to fade, then withold water un- til the tops die. When that oocurs you can put the pots in the cellar and leave them there until autumn. Gladiolus bulblets will blossom a year earlier if peeled beforc planting. f Being dry, the husk requires a long time to soak up so the new growth can : penetrate it, but if it is removed | growth starts at once. For a perpetual delight all summer "“¥H"'kinds of bulbs. | the fall. few vines are better to grow than the Madeira and the Columbian climber. Their foliage is of a very rich, glossy green, and the delicate white flowers, or rich clusters, of the Ma- deira vine are not only abundant, but deliciously fragrant. Both vines are easy to grow, and in a fairly good soil will attain a height of 20 or 25 feet. Although the asparagus sprengeri produces only tiny flowers, its foliage is so glorious, so green and restful to the eve, that it is a plant much to be | desired. Not requiring a great amount of sun, it can be placed back of other plants and, if somewhat above them : i€8 rich beauty will act as a charming fofl. It is doubtful if there is any other one thing in the culture of house plants so ‘little understood as the proper application of moisture. "Generally, the best way to determine when a plant needs water is to take a pinch of the soil and rub it between the thumb and first finger. If dry enough to become powdery, water should be applied; but if it is still so damp as to hold between the fingers, no more water will be needed for a time. Lilies, of course, are an excep- tion, to this rule, and in fact, almost Pansies are a desirable flower to tive, and a five-cent package will be sufficient for one ordinarily to grow. They want to be started indoors in a_box full of rich soil, and kept in a a’ightly—shnded place. The dirt should be damp all the time, to insure which it needs frequent watering, and when the pansies are i these heads, particularly if the poul- ! dealer’s shop, the fish heads are tough CHICKENS LIKE FISH HEADS Satisfactory® Protein-Containing Food for Poultry Flock Is Simple and Inexpensive.
