The Care of Seed Onions.

American Agricultural.
The cluster Of seeds at the top of a
ripening onion plant is quite heavy, and
as the stalks are from the three to five
feet high, according to the variety, they
are apt to be Frustrated by a wind, and
many seeds wasted, To prevent this,
drive stakes at each end of the row, and
every eight or ten feet of its length. Pass
some cheap Irvine along each side Of the
row, making it fast to the stakes. The
Irvine should be within a few inches Of
the seed clusters.
The seed is known 10 mature when the
capsules or pods lose their green color and
turn ~yellowish; when some Of the pods
break open, the heads in which this oc-
ours may be cut. If the crop ripens UNI
evenly, it may be necessary to go oven it
two or three times, and cut those that
are ready. As some Of the seed will
shell out and be lost, it is well to collect
the clusters in "a bucket. In cutting,
leave six or eight inches Of the stalk at
tached to the head; asthe partly-matured
seeds will then ripen up much betterthan
if the stem were cut close. Spread the
seed clusters upon the floor of an airy

Steel Rails in America.

The Indicator.
The first steel rail rolled in America
was rolled at the North Chicago Rolling
mills c%ompany's works in Chicago, May
20, 1860, eighteen years ago the 25th of
last month. That steel rail cost those
who made it over half q million dollars
in experiments and outlay, and when it
was made there was only the fact to show
for the outlay that the rail was an estab-
lished fact. At the time this rail was
rolled the Albany and Rensselaer, works
at Troy, N. Y, and the Wyandotte,
Michigan, were experimenting with the
Bessemer converters in making steel.
The steel from which the rail was rolled
was made at Wyandotte, and the plant
cost $3.50, 600. The ingot was taken t.
the North Chicago Rolling mill to be
rolled.

loft. II the floor is not tight, spread out
a barn sheet or other cloth, to prevent
the scattered seeds from being lost.
When the pods are quite dry, they are
to be thrashed, and the seeds ~winnowed
by running them through a tanning mill
at least twice. Put the seeds, a few
pounds at a time, in a bucket or tub of
water, stirring fora short time; allow the
good seed to settle, and gently pour off
the chatf and imperfect seeds which float
on the surface. This process of separat-
ing the good from the worthless seed is a
most important one. The seeds are
then to be spread thinly ON boards or on
sleeves to dry, and only stored when
quite free from dampness.

A Big Yield of Potatoes.

About 1855 OF 1856 a mar by the name
of Parker, who lived ON the Mokelumne
river, in San Joaquin county, Cal, made
oath before the commissioner of the San
Joaquin agricultural society that he had
raised $500 bushels Of potatoes Oh an
acre. The story was 80 astonishing that
Il committee wa appointed to investigate
it. They reported that the ground wa
planted rs usual in the spring and
matured u large crop Of potatoes; that
before the potatoes were dug, the June
rise of the river sent the water near 10
the surface, the ground being nearly GOV.
cred with the potatoes. When the water
went down, a month or two later, a third
crop set in and matured below the first.
The committee dug several hills, which
produced from 70 TO 81 pounds each.
The top potatoes were sunburned and

In a Bears Embrace.

New Mexican Tribune.
A day or two ago one of the most des-
perate battles between man and brute
whicd has occurred in the Black Range
since the hardy prospector put foot upon
the mineralized surface of the wild re-
gion took place on the south fork of the
North Percha. Bruin made q determ-
ined fight against two brothers, who de-
sire their names withheld from publica-
ton. II appears that the boys were
coming down the arroyo entirely uncon-
scious of the presence of danger,
when the bear attacked the elder
and larger of the two men from the side
of the trail, where he had been concealed
by the heavy underground. The animal
struck his victim in the face and knocked
him over, striking him again in the back
as he fell. His claws tore the flesh in
both places, and he had crawled upon
the almost insensible man preparatory to
completing his deadly work, when the
younger man, forgetting self in his INK
iety for his brothers safety,
dashed into the fight. The men
were unarmed, with the exception of a
revolver of small calibre, which was car

this the bear wa shot once or twice
without perceptible effect, and for a time
it was a contest of muscle. The animal,
upon being attacked by the younger
brother. turned upon him, and with a
vicious display of brute force, tore the
muscles from one of his arms, and with
his huge jaws frightfully lacerated the
young fellows leg. While this was going
on the other brother had gotten up,
and placing his thirty eight against the
bears body, fired a shot through his
bowels. This seemed to engage the at
t~ention of bruin, who began to think the
fight not 30 entertaining as it had been
and d%ecamped. The boys managed to
reach their camp after much suffering,
blood. They were terribly ''chewed up
and clawed, and but for judicious man.

crippled, if not killed.

As the boat put up at James Landing,
Ark, we saw -four steers tied to q fence,
and every passenger at once carried his
chair over to the port side to see the fun.
IL there is any fun about steamboating it
is to load q number of stout steers, with
wild eyes, long horns and handy legs.
They don't accept circumstances, and
they have no romantic notions about sail
ing up or down the Father of Waters.
As soon rs the plank was lowered the
mate and a dozen darkies started for the
cattle, the officer singing out;
Look alive, you niggers! On with
'em now--what are you doingf"
With a great deal of hooking and pran.
cling and shouting and kicking the first
steer was pushed aboard. When the sec.
ond was tackled no braced his legs, held
down his head and six men could moi
bulge him. The mate went around be.
hind to twist his tail, and as he gave q
twirl at the useful appendage no shouted
out:
"Nov, then, every Niger break his
back Up with him. Boost
At that instant the steers heels took a
shoot out behind and the mate rolled
over the grass, Some of the men went
to him and called him fond names and
unbuttoned his vest and stole his plug Of
tobacco, but he was dead. When thu
cattle were loaded We took him on and
laid him out on some sacks of corn, and
as the boat steamed away we all spok,
well of the dead. Some said he had {
kind heart for all his buster, and Others
affirmed that if ever q steamboat mar

PROMPT PAYMENT.

It is unusual to hear that Chinaman
has insured his life, and it is still more
unusual to hear of such prompt pay
ment of claims as the following. On
18th February, Lee 10y, who was doing
business in Hilo, insured his life in the
Equitable Life Assurance Company for
$4,000, under the fifteen year endow-
ment plan. He paid a years premium
and died in September. On 3lst October,
Mr.. A. J. Cartwright, the Honolulu
agent of the Company, sent, to the head
Office in New York, proof of Lee Loy's
death; the matter having been placed
in his hands two days previously. On
4th December, thirty four days after the
papers left Honolulu, the wife of the
deceased gave receipt for $4,000, the
full amount of her claim, the money
having been sent from New York and
handed to her. This instance not only
shows the benefit of Life Assurance, but
also the very prompt manner in which
settlements are made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Company, which did
not even avail itself of the power to
withhold payment for sixty days, in a
policy which had not been in force for
three years. 579 Ivy D

GOVERNMENT HOUSE.

The publication in the Gazette, on
three different occasions, of docu-
ments (the Protest, the Cleghorn
correspondence and the report on
the Mounted Policy belonging to
the Government, shows most
deplorable state of affairs in the,
internal management at Aliiolani
Hale. 1t is noteworthy fact that
all these documents belong to de,
partments over which His EXcellency
the Premier, in his various capacities,
has control. 1t shows that he is
incompetent to manage the affairs of
his offices; it shows the necessity
for the appointment of an Attorney
General, and it shows either that the
officials, at present employed in Co.
vernment House, are not in sympathy
with the Premier, or that sufficient
precautions are not taken in pro-
tecting the affairs of State.
1t is not our business to ascertain
how the Gazette obtains the run of
official records, but it is our business
to point out that such scandalous
proceedings never occurred, in the
history of Hawaii, before Mr.. Gibson
was in office. 1t proves conclusively
his utter unfitness to manage the
many offices that he presumes to
manage. The Foreign Office and
the office of the Attorney-General
0d interim have been allowed to
remain open when no officials occu-
pied them, and then documents
must lhave been taken or they
have been given by untrustworthy
servants. That such state OF
things should have existed, and
should be- allowed to exist, is dis
grace to the Kingdom and to the
man who processes to manage it.
The Gazette, in its last issue, pub
lished some information relative to
the discharge of Mr.. Girvin, School
Agent at Wailuku. We have been
told that the facts stated can only
have been obtained from the minute
book of the Secretary of the Board
of Education. Is this another office
under the Premier's supposed super
vision, to which the Gazette hal
access ?
