sufficiently matured for immediate
use, but not be suitable for storage.
In seliecting for storage, therefore, ii
pick out those which have had .the
longest period of growth, and just
here it might be said that -to get a
large proportion of the crop for stor-
age. due attention must be given
to having the plants started early.
I-t is well also to turn the squash
occasionally when growing in order
to develop a hard shell on all sides.
They should be handled carefully
and placed immediately in s well-
ventilated,‘dry, warm room with a
temperature around 80 degrees until
the shells are hard and dry and then
remove to a cool 'but dry light and
well-ventilated room. Under such
conditions, we have .been able to
keep squash until spring in perfect
condition. `
WATEF\ePiWEFi IN CANADA
- The subje t of waterpqwer is one
of great, interest in Canada. The bene-
ilts of' which we have a right to anti-
cipate from our wealth in this valu-
able resource are being more and
inure tmly appreciated in this coun-_
ry.
In connection with the value of
water powers, the Electrical World,
commenting on remarks By _Dr. Geo.
Otis 8mitb.-Director of the Upited

inthe long run. the utilisation of
water power means the saving of hu-
man energy for purposes to which
