Why are Onions Difilcult 70 Raise !

Many of our readers seem to have
trouble IN raising onions from seed.
The seed viii grow, and so do the oh,
ions, but they do not form bulbs.
They produce thick necks and keep
green and growing until cut down by
frost. Many think this is due to Gil
mate. Possibly this is so. but in MANY
cases the trouble is more likely 10 be
due to some OF the following causes
namely; Poor seed, poor land, late
sowing and weeds. By poor seed we
do not mean seed that will not grow,
but ill-bred seed, seed grown from 4
crop of ouions, the best OF which have
been sold and those not good enough
TO sell, planted for seed! A scallion-
ish onion, or one with small bulb and
a thick, immature neck, will produce
quite as much and quite as good look
ing seed as the best formed bulb-iu
fact more seed and better looking seed.
Seed grown frcTl scsilioiis, or from
thick-necked onions will be very sure
to produce scallions. We can row
down stream faster than we can pull
up against the current. The onion
has been brought To perfection by high
feeding and careful selection, aud il
we would maintain what we have
gained, we must continue our efforts,
but must not select the poorest onions
10 bre6d from. by poor land, We do
not mean land that will not produce
good crop of corn or wheat or pota-
toes or grass. Land might be too rich
for wheat, but not rich enough for on
ions. This same land might, without
any manure, become rich enough for
Onious. We know low muoky land
where onions are successfully grown
year after year without manure, but
which at first produced very poor
crop. IL needed the thorough tillage
and freedom from weeds which all
onion growers find so essential. Onion
seed should be sown the moment the
frost Is out Of the surface soil The
land should have been made ready the
autumn previous. If this is not done
and you have TO get the land ready in
the spring, you may get fair crop of
onions, but can hardly expect a full
yield, Even If everything else is fav-
orable, if the onion patch is not kept
free from weeds, You Will be pretty
certain of getting a liberal sprinkling
of scallions. To a certain extent, rich
land and freedom from weeds have the
same effect; both are favorable to rap
id growth. Onion roots spread out
very little on the surface; they strike
straight down. This is probably why
land that has been thoroughly titled or
heavily manfred for years is best for
onions. The fertility has had time to
get down towards the subsoil. amer.

Sowing Clover Seed.

Experience and science are agreed
in regard TO the advantages of grow
ing as much clover as possible on all
farms where wheat, barley, oats, and
other cereals are the main object of
the agriculturist. Aslong as land will
grow good crops of clover, we need
not fear exhaustion OF the soil But
clover often fails, aud the evil is in
cTeasing. In many Eases this is due
to the difficulty of getting a 'sgood
catch" The seed fails to terminate.
Occasionally this is attributable to poor
seed. IL is much more likely, how
ever, that the trouble is in the soil.
The longer our soils are cultivated,
and especially when little manure is
used, or green crops plowed under,
the poorer the soil becomes in organic
matter. We see no special diminution
in the yield of grain crops. This is be-
cause we cultivate better-but at the
same time there can be no doubt that
the mechanical condition of the soil is
less favorable for the termination of
small seed, like clover. The soil is
hard and the surface less mellow and
loose, than when it was full of decay
ing leaves and other organic matter.
When we sow clover and grass seed
on spring crops where the land has
been recently plowed or cultivated and
narrowed, the soil is, or may be, sufli-
GENTLY fine. moist and mellow to in
sure the termination of the seed. But
when the seed is sown in the spring.
on winter wheat or winter rye, the
soil is often as hard and dry on the
surface as barn floor. ln.such case
narrowing before or after sowing the
seed is decidedly advantageous. We
might harrow before sowing the seed
and roll afterwards. american Agri-

Wheels Not Made of Pulp.

"rhe statement that the most deli
cate watch wheels are now made OF
paper pulp in Germany is a hoax,
think" said prominent jeweler and
matchmaker on Broadway to a Mai
and FrpreSs representative. III have
been in the business some forty years
and work on German, Swiss, English,
French and American watches every
week, repairing or taking them apart,
and | have not seen a wheel made of
pulp, not even among the latest
watches from Germany. Then from
my knowledge of machinery nee
essary to make a watch and run 1t for
several years do not think that pulp
by any process whatever can be made
hard enough to be of use. Brass and
steel are chiefly used to make watch
wheels. Platina is too hard to work
and too costly, and gold will not do
for many reasons.
Paper buckets and boats are made,
hut thay have no special friction COM
pared TO that Of watchwheei, when
rims in cogs all the time. Suppose q
nrocess was discovered to harden pulp
10 a degree equal to steel; then the
question is. would it last as long as
stesIp | think not. Car wheels are
made of paper, but they run them
merely ON exhibition and not every
day. Steel and brass are metals
formed by natural processes during
The conrse ofmany hundred centuries.
Papcr or pulp hardened by artificial
means when not subject 70 constant
friction may be equal to steel or brass
for certain processes. but ifIagsns It's
dursbilty would be uncertain. Hard
wood, OF course, can DO used LOT .

From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph
One evident and powerful reason why
Russis should urge war does not come
to the surface ii this present entangls-
ments, but 1t is most decided factor in
the problem. At least as much Of 9
motive rs Indian conquest is the desire
Of the throne and the nobility to secure
themselves through the exciting of o
general pstrsotic spirit. History has
shown before now that one Of the sur.
est antidotes to internal discussion is
external diversion. With all che hs-
tired of the imperial power among a
large class of Russians. there is def
mite love Of country which may be ap.
pealed to forego its attacks upon home
interests in the face Of national perils.
The game, TO be sure, has sometimes
failed. The Nephew Of his Uncle tried
il and went under in the process. But
il is possible Russian Imperialism may
be more successful IL may not con.
quer England, but il may quiet Nihilism

chief objects in engaging in a foreign
