An Interesting Incident Of Travel in
Montana.

A letter to the Philadelphia Press thus
describes the recent stage robbery near
Helena. Montana: The stage was NOV
ing along at a walk, about noon. when
three masked ruffians emerged from
their hiding-place, and leveling their
shotguns at the driver and passengers,
shouted Hands up" The order was
promptly obeyed, without a murmur,
and, in obedience to the next command,
every man stepped from the stage with
his hands in the air, and formed in line
on the roadside. Then one of the
''posse" stepped forward and helped
himself to the contents of each pocket,
while the other two kept their guns
leveled SO as to entilade the line. There
were two ladies aboard-one on the box
and one inside-who cried bitterly, but
the gallant assurances of the Claude
Duvals that nobody would be killed I'M
less they resisted. allayed their fears;
for they knew too well that the terror
stricken nine with their hands in the
air hadn't strength enough LETT to pull a
trigger. The valuabics being secured,
the stage was allowed to pass on, and a
merchant with two-horse team, who
followed. was next held up, but was
yietimized only to the extent of some
whisky and cigars Though this is
quite serious business. vet = has its
ludicrous side, which is worth telling.
One passenger in leaving the stage put
his pecket-book, containing $40, in
the folds of the curtain and did not
search for it again until the stage had
progressed eight miles, so great was
his decentralization, and then to his hor-.
ror it was gone; later. however, it was
found on the floor of the coach. A
Chicago gentleman who wore kid gloves,
was detected fumbling with his finger,
and upon being made TO take off his
glove displayed what was apparently
plain gold ring, which he desired to re-
tain lit being the gift of a dear friend"
The willy highwayman, however, turned |
over the finger and found to his delight |

he exclaimed; "a perfect daisy;''and he |

Harvesting Onions.

In a favorable season, with proyer
culture and good seed. the onion crop
viii mature evenly and the time of hsr-
vest be indicated by the dropping over
of the greater part'er all of the tops.
As soon as the crop is ready to harvest
it is best to pull at once, for the oniens
will be brighter and keep better thar if
permitted TO remain in the ground after
they have attained their growth and the
tops have lost their lively green coler.
Under adverse circumstances oniens
sometimes incline te run to scallions
and many of the tops refuse to drop
down and dry up. A common practice,
when this state of affairs exists, is 10
roll an empty barrel over the bed. to
break the tops down few days preri-
Gus TO pulling the crop
When the main crsp is ripe harvest
it and sort out what is unfit for market
or table use. Pull the onions by hand
or rake them out with an ordinary hand
rake One mode is to throw them int
heaps containing two or three bushels
there to remain until the tops are cured
and the bulbs are hard and solid. If a
rain occurs, these heaps must be opened
on fair day and replied. so as to rid
them of the moisture that weuld other
wise blacken and injure the onions.
The. usual plan is to cart the crop
away when the tops have become
thoroughly dry and store In some cool,
dry place where there is a free cireula-
ton of air. There are cultivators,
however, who leave the onions in the
field after pulling until freezing weather
or until they are sold, believing that
early housing induces sweating and
sprouting.
The tops ought not to be removed
until they are dead throughout their
entire length. Many farmers DELAY
topping their onions until they are
marketed. When the onions are 10 be
kept through the winter it is advisable tc
store that crop where the frost will not
affect it and where no loss will be sus-
tained from heating or growing. The
cellar is not a good place unless If
chances to be a dry, cool one. 4 lat
tiee-work bin affords an admirable
storage, provided it is raised little
from the floor in some well-ventilsted
building. Onions receive little or no
injury from freezing, provided always
they are thawed out gradually, but as
this cannot be insured the safe plan is
to protect them. When freezing weather
approaches some farmers spread layer
of straw about twelve inches deep up
on the barn or garnet floor; on this they
place layer of onions. sag five or six
inches deep. and cover with a LAYER of
straw about two feet deep. held in
place By boards or rails.
Ii by any chance onions become
frozen they should remain un6isturbed
and covered until thawed.-N. Y.
