A potato storage house holding from 2,500 to 3,000 bushels.
Build a sweet, potato storage house
of wood, as it is drier than brick,
stone or concrete. It is easier to op
erate in regulating temperature. Never
use a "dug out," as it is very expen
sive and cannot be kept dry. The
house should he placed 12 to 15 inches
above ground, so that the air will cir
culate freely beneath it. A 2#xlo foot
house, 9 feet high at the eaves will
hold 2,500 to 3,000 bushels. These
potatoes may be placed in the house
in bins or in some other manner. A
plan that has proven very successful
in many storage houses has been to
use bushel boxes for storing the pota
toes, These boxes may be taken di
rectly to the field at harvesting, tilled,
carried to the house and pi'.od in
blocks of 500 bushels. Then, there
is no reason to rehandle the potatoes
t until they are ready for market or tho
market Is ready for them.
A house 20x+0 feet Is built as fol
lows: Build three rows of pillars, two
under sides and one under renter of
house. Let these pillars he at least
12 inches above the ground. Use 6xß
or Bxß sill on top of pillars. On top
of sill place 2xß or 2xlo sleepers 24
inches apart. On the sleopers a floor
jof ship lap or matched boards is laid,
I then a layer building paper and on
that matched flooring. The walls
are built by placing 2x4 studding 24
inches apart. On the outside put a
jlayer of ship lap, on it a layer of
building paper, and on the outside a
layer of weatherhoarding. On inside
put two layers of ship lap and between
them a layer of building paper. Al-
Uo-w the inside wall to cover both stud
ding and rafters, thus running to top
of house. In south Georgia the weath
erboarding will be sufficient for out
side wall. The sides should be well
tied together to prevent spreading.

Famous Old English Castle.
Warwick castle Is said to have been
built by the Saxons before the first
William landed nu Albion’s shores. One
of its old towers has seen a thousand
summers come and go. while the other
portions of the structure belong to the
fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries.
It is one of the most romantic and
picturesque edifices in England ami is
associated with the. memory of the
great “kingmaker" of the wars of the
roses. Cmnt Guy and other heroes wh<
have clanged In heavy armor through
the spacious rooms aud in the banquet
hall drank the health of the beauteous
ladies of their line-
Leave space betweon the walls open
for it keeps house dryer. The ait
space is as good an insulator as saw
dust and keeps out moisture if the
plans given are followed.
Thorough ventilation is necessary
Put a window every ten feet. In
house 20x40 feet put ventilator S
inches square in each comer and on
each side of stove. Also 2 ventilators
are placed in top of building.
Doors should be tight fitting and
similar to an ice door. Windows
should he of the same kind and open
outward. Make doors and windows
so that they can be well padded. Ven
tilator in roof should extend above
ceiling to carry out warm air. All
ventilators should he provided with
tight-fitting covers. Provide cover for
venilators on top of house to keep
out rain.
The bins shown here are 4 feet
wide by 7 1/2 feet long. Sides and
bottoms made of Ix 4 slats. They are
placed 6 Inches from inner wall and
4 inches above floor. This facilitates
circulation round and under bins.
Some store the potatoes in house in
crates thus eliminating the bins. But
when stored in crates the potatoes
must have the same ventlation as
when stored in bins.
In the middle of house a stove la
placed. A fire la started when the
workmen begin storing the potatoes
and the house is kept at a tempera
ture of 80 to 100 degrees until pota
toes are cured. This is about ten
days. Let hot moisture laden air out
through ventilators. After curing pe
riod is over, gradually lower the tem
perature to 55 degrees during remain
der of storing period.

materials for a potato storage house

SOY BEANS GOOD AS
A GREEN VEGETABLE
Haberlandt and Habto Are Best
Varieties
The soy bean has been grown In
this country for some years both as
a hay plant and as a grain plant for
live stock, hut It has not been used
to any great extent for human con
sumption. The reason for this is
probably the difficulty in cooking the
mature beans.
Tliis quality, however, does not
hold when the beans are used green.
When used as a green vegetable, it
is prepared and used very much like
the green garden pea.
Almost any varieties of soy beans
may be used for this purpose. A few
of the varieties, however, give espe
cial promise. Of the earlier sorts, the
Haberlandt is probably one of the
best. It usualy yields at the rate
of about 10 or 12 bushels of mature
seed to the acre. The Edwarda, a
later bean, is desirable because of its
size. Everything considered, prob
abaly a recent importation known as
the Habto bean is one of the best.
This is a flat bean much larger
than any other soy bean that is util
ized in this country at the present
time. The size of this bean makes
it much easier to handle. Then, too,
the flavor is of the best. On account
of the large size of this bean, it will
have to bo planted rather thickly. A
considerable quantity of these beans
have been sent out to county agents
during the year, and those interest
ed should try to secure a small quan
tity of seed, if no other variety is
available, the Mammoth Yellow should
be used. This Is the standard van
ety in the state and may be procur
ed In almost any locality.
OIL IN SOY BEANS,
If soy beans were sold on oil con
tent there would he a wide difference
in the prices between different varie
ties Work in the laboratories of the
Georgia State College of Agriculture
show that the pounds of oil per too
varies as follows: Haberlandt, 43$
pounds; Tokio, 422; Wilson, 369,
Mammoth Yellow. 357; Edward, 334;
ami Ottoman. 306. Thus, there u a
difference of 130 pounds of oil per ton
between the Haberlandt and the Ot
toman.

When it comes to health work and
especially pr vention of disease, and
that disease the most prevalent of all,

as any that we know of, it should not
be allowed to lag
The United States Public Health
Service has been waging warfare
against Venereal Diseases for the
past year. The federal government
lias paid al! the bills and a great deal
of good has been accomplished. This
work has been done in conjunction
with State Board of Health. Thous
ands of dollars have been spent in
treating infected persons, over a thous
and prostitutes have been in quaran
tine and been treated. Over 8,000
doses of Arspheanmine have been ad
ministered for Syphilis by men under
direction of the State Board of Health.
Eighty thousand men have been lec
tured to about these diseases. Many
pamphlets have been sent out, all rail
road toilets and coaches have had
notices put up in them, hundreds of
thousands of people have read about
Venereal Diseases through the educa
tlonal work of your State Board of
Health.
This is about to all cease because
of the State not making appropriation
for it to continue.
Under the Act of Congress, known
as the Chamberlain-Kahn Act, the fed
eral government will not continue to
pay the entire bill, but offers to put
up dollar for dollar with the State.
This looks fair, looks reasonable, looks
right and just. It is now up to the
present legislature to make this ap
propriation. A resolution introduced
by Hon. John Bale, of Floyd, makes
possible the work. Our readers are

Keeping Warm in Finland.
In many ways the Finns are a very
queer people. It is during the terrible
cold months that the Finns revel in
the mighty ovens that fill one corner
of every kitchen and often loom up
large and vastly impressive in the oth
er rooms of a Finn home as well. The
tops of these monster stoves are per
fectly flat, and steps lead up on one
side. When the weather becomes bit
terly cold and bleak, the entire Finnish
family will lake quilts and pillows and,
mounting to the top of the big heat

sleep very crtthfrtrtably and contented

have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most
disagreeable taste in my mouth. .If I ate anything with
butter, oil or grease, 1 would spit it up. 1 began to have
regular sick headache. I had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just
seemed to tear my stomach all up. I found they were
no good at all for my trouble. I heard

me. 1 keep it in the house all the time. It is the best
