County Finances.

The county warrants beginning
with warrant No. 238, will be paid in
cash upon presentation to the county
treasurer. All warrants of numbers
prior to No. 238 Will have to lay over
until taxes are collected next fall,
when special provision will have to be
made for their payment. The board
of supervisors should have asked the
legislature for a special act requiring
the registering of all outstanding
warrants within a given time,
or the same be barred. Had
they done so they would have been
able to ascertain what the county in.
debtedntss is, but as it stands now
there is no way in which this infor-
nation can be arrived at. The county
auditors books should give an exhibit
of this fact, but the county treasurer
says these books have not been proper
ly kept since December, 1884. The
county officials, sheriff, court officials,
justices of the peace, etc, should be
charged with all accounts they
have with the county and cred
tied with whatever moneys they
cover into the county treas
ury. The Sheriff should be
charged with the entire county taxes
and credited according to his settle.
ments; justices should be charged with
all fines reported by them, and credited
with same when paid to the treasurer.
MIR. Cameron says the books in his
possession show where the treasurer
has received a large amount of fines
since December, 1884, but he can get
no trace of who they were paid by,
AS there is no record of
these fines on the auditors
books. The auditors books
were formerly kept by Judge Alex
Arthur, who had a thorough knowl-
edge of the business of the county and
was perhaps the best posted man on
county affairs ever in Warren county.
His books were found to contain the
requisite history of every entry that
appears in the t%reasurer's books up to
DECEMBER, '84, but since that time
such is not the case.

The soil should be thoroughly puiverizeds
leaving the manure near the surface. A
good harrow followed by a drag viii be found
effective tools to pulverize and level the
ground, but the hand rake must be used to
complete the work.
Sow the seed at the rate Of four 10 dix
pounds to the acre, to q less amount Of
ground in proportion. Use a seed drill for
planting. The Planet, Jr., and Matthews
are approved drills to use. The rows should
be fifteen inches apart. Run roller over the
field after sowing to cover the seed. II you
have no drill mark out the rows and SOW V
evenly as possible by hand. Cultivate with
the rake and scufiie hoe, and keep the weeds
down very carefully, Or you will have no
onions.
Plant just as soon as you can get the ground
ready after the frost is out Of it. Cold
weather will not hurt the onion. The Weth-
ersfeld Red, Yellow Danvers and Whita
Globe are good varieties.
We have thus far spoken Of onions planted
for a field crop by drilling in the seed. After
the little plants have come up they should
stand one to two inches apart. If closer than
this they should be thinned out. The seed
should not be sown later than May | under
any circumstances, and as much earlier than
this as it can be got in the better. Aproft Of

farmer is convenient to market or shipping,
Still more money is made from planting
onion sets, from which the crops Of small
green onions are raised. These must ba

way for a walk after every eighth row.. Tia
young green onions are marketed tied up IN
clean, tasteful bundles. The crop from the
sets will be off early, in time for a fall crop
Of something else to be sown in the same
ground. The culture Of the onion sets re-
quires more labcI than the seed does as own
in the field in the manner mentioned, but ID
also pays better.

Professor Thomas Taylor has at length
made a minute report Of his experiments in
testing butter and oleomargarine. He has
analysed specimens Of both, treated them
with acids, and produced crystals of true
butter, of lard and of tallow.
These he examined under the microscope.
He subjects them to polarized light. Under
this test the lard and tallow invariably show
1rismatic colors, while the butter shows none.
This he considers his surest test. Examined
under the microscope, also, the butter crys-
tails he declares invariably show upon the
surface a black st. Andrews cross, which the
crystals of lard and tallow do not show. He
repeats these statements emphatically and
decidedly, giving them as the summing up of
months careful investigation.
Thus it seems hat any chemist who has a
microscope with polariscope attachment will
be able to distinguish butter from oleomar-
garine. This may be considered an important
discovery

A very successful onion grower says the
secret of his luck is good seed, good soil and
good culture. Onions are very healthy, too,
especially in winter, for all who can digest
them. 1t is true there is a tradition that a
wealthy passenger on a street car who once
handed a conductor a IS bill for fare, famed
the air away in front Of him and hurriedly
remarked: "Never mind the change; go
along" The conductor had been eating
onions, and ever since then conductors eat
the odorous vegetable daily, so this old chest
nut of a joke says. But for all that, when
one is at home, and can eat what he likes,
nothing is better than onions, raw or cooked.
The successful grower mentioned says Of
the soil in which he plants the onion:
"The ground should be level enough to pre-
vent washing, and IL not naturally dry it
should be thoroughly u~nderdrained; and
manure, the key that unlocks the hidden
treasures of the soil, must be literally ap-
piled or success will not be complete. In
localities where stable manure is plenty, as
it usually is in the vicinity of small towns,
1t will pay to use thirty or even forty tons Of

FARM


Too much wood is ordinarily left on a grape
vine in trimming. For small vineyards and
garden grapes the pruning shown in the
Illustrations is very available. The
are trained to wire or wooden ~trellises, and
every part. of the vine thus reaches the sun.
1t will be easy to extend the same system by
crosspieees and a frame overhead, thus max
ing a green and grateful arbor Of shelter from
the sun in hot weather.
To begin such a grape garden, drive a
strong stake in the ground where each plant
is to be set. Strong growing varieties of
grape, like the Concord, should have the
plants set nine feet apart. Dip the lower end
of the stakes into coal tar to protect them.
Set one vine having roots about twelve inches
long at each stake. 1t should have three or
four buds. Rub away all these except the
strongest ones
Weekly commercial herald. (Vicksburg, Miss.) 1884-18??, 1886-04-16

Mr.. E. Williams, a w~ell-known grape
grower, says the objection to this system Of
training is that the arms are liable to be
broken off after they have stretched out to
great length. He suggests that a wire run
along the trellis six inches above the bottom
one will remedy this. Tie the shoots to it.
Pruning should be done in the fall. The
method is this: Every year cut away all the
arm made that season except the branch
nearest the main trunk. Bend this around,
tie it to the wire and shorten it back to FIVE
or six buds. 1t in turn becomes the main
arm. In Fig. 5 the cross marks upon each
upright branch show where to prune. Cut
the branches away to this.
Planting may be done either in the fall or
spring.

You will then have a single cane to grow.
At the end of the first season it will look like
Fig. /. The next spring cut this cane down
to three or four buds. If it has grown as
much as three feet this time leave two buds.

two canes, as in Fig. 2.

will be ready to train upon the trellis. Fig.

canes grow every year, n upon each side.

mammoth stock yards so near its popu-
lation center as the present yards are
located and the Milwaukee company
kicks most decidedly against having the
yards moved to a point near the North
western round house, as such o move
would infringe on the right of way of the
Milwaukee company. Stock yards will
