Ashantee War Seen as Step Toward Colonization
The New York Times notes the Ashantee expedition differs from Abyssinia, possibly leading to territorial annexation and new trade routes. It chronicles British control since the African Company era, the strong Ashantee state, brutal customs, and the strategic goal to open inland trade from Coomassie to Timbuctoo as power shifts with Elmina’s transfer.

Keeping sweet potatoes in dry sand for storage
The Fruit Recorder notes sweet potatoes store best in very dry sand in a room above 40 degrees. Dig and sun the potatoes a day, turn once, then box or barrel them and place in a store room with dry sand. In damp weather keep a fire, and in winter maintain 50 to 60 degrees. Dahlias and bulbous plants can also be kept.
