He Throws Frosty Aqua Upon the Stories

The great conference alleged to have been
held between Chief Brown, of the Depart
ment of Public Safety, and William Finn,
with a view to entering into holy alliance
to make C. L. Magee repent of his rashness
in winning the skirmish, by causing him to
lose the fight is seemingly WITHOUT founda-
tion. Chief Brown was industriously
searched for, but he attained the chief OBJ
ject of politician in evading the press.
When William Finn was seen yester-
day, he smiled as usual, and said that he
was at peace with all the world, particu-
larly, including c. L. Msgee, and SO far as
any alliance was concerned it might exist,
but it would be sort of wholly unknown
alliance to him.

CORN-HUSk CLOTH.
How 1t Is Produced in the Manufacturing
Districts of Austria.


One of the best utilized waste prod

faciure of large quantities of paper and
cloth, are corn husks. These are
boiled in tubular boilers, as a result of
which the tibers of the husks are found
at the lotion of the boiler in a spongy
condition, filled with Il glutinous sub
stance and which proves to be perfect
dough of cornmeal, containing in a
concentrated form all the pabulum
originally contained in the husk. The
glutinous matter is pressed out from
the fbers by hydraulic apparatus,
leaving the fiber IN the shape of a mass
or chain of longitudinal threads. IT,

fiber. The linen made from the long
fibers furnishes very good substitute
for the coarser kinds of flax and hemp,
and is superior to jute, gunny cloth,

Information That VIII in All Probability
Surprise Many Farmers.

chow long are potato roots any
way?" / can not tell. but judging from
analogy. l should say that in a fine,
rich, mellow soil under favorable con-
ditions, they grow five or six feet
long. The person who pulls up hill
of early potatoes while the tops are
green, and shakes off the earth may
suppose he has got nearly all the
roots, but such is by no means the
case. The same is true of onions. |
once had an onion bed on a hill side
garden, the soil of which was fine
sandy loan. The bed was about four
feet wide. the onions about full-grown
and the tops still green. There came
a shower in the night and a stream ran
down over the bed until the surface
were left bare, extending unbroken in
every direction, and generally remain
ing in the place where they grew. In
the morning when visited my garden
to see the havoc that had been caused
by the rain. was surprised. beyond
measure, to find that onion roots were
so long. Some onions that stood near
the middle of the bed had pushed
their roots in both directions to the
outside of the bed; in other words,
their roots were extended two feet on
all sides | would not believe it if had

have been kept answers we'll, and the
soil should be mellow, SO as to admit
OF easy cultivation.
In the North the crop is grown from
seed the first year, the red varieties
being preferred, but the gardeners and
truckers in this latitude grow their
crops from onion sets, which are pro-
duced by sowing the seed very thickly
In the rows. and on moderately fertile

and yellow Danvers varieties are
considered the best mrrket varieties,
but the potato onion. which grows in
punches from single seed, is the
earliest for table use. but is not now
extensively grown. To get them in
early is to escape weeds, which entail
hand wedding, but as the onion is 9
gross feeder it delights in any kind o.
manure and good cultivation. The sets
are simply planted in rows, about
three inches apart, by lightly sticking
them in the ground, though the truck
ers plant acres of them by covering
them completely in the rows, in ordel
to save labor.
