ONIONS SoWN IN FALL.-The America

ONlONS DOWN IN FALL. -Ihe American
Agrculturst says: , ~
Last year we published an article By Peter
Henderson, in which be gave the experience of
a Long Island market gardener who sowed his
onions in autumn. We gave the plan trial in
our own garden last fall, but the sowing was not
made until the very end Of September, and the
young plants did not sll make sufficient growth
10 stand the very severe winter, even though
they we're all covered Still the success though
only partial, was sufficient to show that this
method is worthy of consideration, and, from
the amount that came to maturity on my bed
this summer, have no doubt that it will answer
wherever sets are used; bat, where onions can
be raised directly from the seed, there will be
no advantage for fall sowing except for such as
are to be marketed green or very early. The
idea is to sow the seed in the tall at such time
rs will allow the plants to form bulb larpe
enough to stand the winter and vet not so large
as to run up to flower the next season; in fact,
to raise onion sets which, instead of being hari
vested, are to be left in the gr und where they
Will be ready to grow as soon as, spring opens
On Long Island the middle of September lis
found to be the best time to sow; further south
1t should be later, and north of that earlier
Success will largely depend upon the time of
sowing, and this for any particular locality can
only be sscer aimed, by experiment. The cover
ing shoul not be put on until cold weather has
stopped the growth Of the bulbs, and NAV be of
leaves, straw, marsh hay, or any other litter
Leaves applied while it is showing will not blow

There are two branches of indus.
try in our State that have suffered
very little during this grasshopper
plague. One is the dairy business !;
the other is sheep husbandry. Grass
on our prairies has never been bet
ter than this spring. Cattle and
sheep are doing splendidly. We
noticed lately in Woodson county,
large flocks OF sheep numbering
from 500 to. 1000 that had come
through the winter in good condi-
ton, and were ready to turn of
from five to seven pounds of wool
to the head. The cheese factories
are all doing well. There is q lee

Douglass county is in peck OF
trouble. She has been so ever since
the "more brains and less corn theory
was first advanced. In the suit of the
county against the L., l.. & G.. railroad
company, Judge Bassett, OF the Dis
trict court, has rendered judgement in
favor OF the county for $300,000, the
original amount OF bonds iss1ed, and
$iOi, 900 interest paid on them. Not
withstanding the case is long ways
from being settled, as it will in all
probability go to the United States
courts, the attorneys of the county de-
mand their fee of $6i,O00. Later they
signify their willingness to take j 900.
There is no value tn such 4 Judgement,
because the railroad is in the hands OF
receiver. The probabilities are the
county has another law suit on her
hands. The people of Douglas, more
than any other county, have been ear
ried away by latter-day reform luna
tics. To-day they are signing pledges
to vote for any man who will oppnse
taxes for the payment of bonds and
interest, and in some parts the feeiing
borders on terrorism repudiation and
communism.-J. c. Union.
