THE KISSING HABIT.
An Earnest Protest Against One of the
Greatest Nuisances of the Age.

An Earnest Protest Against One of the
Greatest Nuisances of the Age.
1t is really nuisance, and, in these
days of societies and crusades against
evils. presents a good object. We
mean this kissing habit. 1t is certain
that, if the great army of babies could
speak, they would united in saying,
Save us; we can not save ourselvesp'
Poor little helpless things, we pay no
attention to frowns or tears, but just
because they are sweet and attractive,
pounce upon them like hawks, and kiss
them with the greatest freedom; and
much more serious results follow than
annoyance to baby. Doctors tell us
that many times disease is transmitted
by kissing. Girls are the guilty ones
in this bad practice. Very rarely does
a boy kiss another boy, even his own
brother But girls!-that is, some girls
kiss every girl friend, anywhere =
street, church, school, cars, anywhere;
sometimes they will kiss strange girl
when parting from her, just because
she is with friend. That is even a
worse habit: kissing a girl when they
do not feel at all kindly toward her;
when in the next breath they will make
criticism that shows they have even a
dislike. Wide Awake says on this sub
ject:
"Girls are impulsive they would
lose much of their charm if they were
not; they make their dear five hundred
friends, and every time they meet ard
every time they part they kiss one an
other. The dear five hundred, or the
most of them, drop out Of daily life as
the years go on, and are replaced by
others, and the habit grows until now
you can see women kissing each other
everywhere-in cars, at railway sta
tions, in all public places"
Last summer some young woman and
girls met at a summer hotel for the first
time. Before the end of the week a
stranger would have been justified in
thinking that they had known each 9th
err from infancy. They were insepara-
BILE. They walked up and down with
their arms around each other, they
kissed goodbye" if only parting for a
few hours row. They apparently were
bosom friends, with no secrets. Not
long since, one who had seen this vio-
lent growth of affection met one of the
group; they had scarcely seen each
other since their return, and apparent
ly had lost all interest in each other;
so, with Wide Awake, we say:
Remember a kiss is the most sacred
expression of love which you can give
to your mother or your sister, or your
dearest friend; and | tell you now what
know to be true, that really refined
women, as they grow older, grow chary
of scattering such gifts right and left
to every acquaintance After all, my
message may be packed into that one
word, so expressive in its modern use,
Don't. '"-Christian Union.

Information That VIII in All Probability
Surprise Many Farmers.

Surprise Many Farmers.
"How long are potato roots any
way?" l can not tell, but judging from
analogy, l should say that in 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 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
dirt was all washed away and the roots
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
not seen it myself. 1t is the common
opinion that the roots of trees extend
about as far out in the ground as the
branches project out above it; but the
truth is that they extend much far
ther. l have seen large trees, as well
as willows and alders, washed out by a
food in the creek, and in every case
the roots were more than twice the
length of the branches. The person
who buys trees from the nurserymen
may think he obtains about all the
roots with the trees, but he does not
get one-half of them. From what /
know of other vegetables, | believe
that potatoes of vigorous growth send
out roots three feet in every direction

impediment, and that if there is richer
soil or manure within four feet of
where they are planted they will start
for that the first thing, and reach it in
a short time. The man who manures
one row of potatoes and leaves the
next without any manure as an expe-
riment, to find out the value of COM
mercial fertilizers, makes as great a
mistake as the one who put his money
into contribution box, thinking it a
savings bank. If you manure one row
of potatoes, the next row will steal
part of the manure unless you inter
pose an impossible barrier of boiler
plate or chilled iron.-Cor. Rural New
Yorker.

THE ONION CROP.
How to Cultivate 1t and Subdue Its Maggoe
Enemies.

Enemies.
1t is usual to get the onion crop in
as soon as the frost leaves the ground,
and it is not unusual to have the seeds
or sets planted as early as March. No
crop demands more careful preparation
of the soil than the onion, as the most
laborious period is when it is in its first
stages of growth. The crop not only
requires very rich soil, but must be
kept free from weeds. 1t is not a
summer crop, as it delights in cool
season, and the frosts do but little, if
any, damage to the plants in this
section. The best location for onions
is a piece of ground that has been
heavily MANFRED the year previous. A
poultry-yard in which large focks
have been kept answers well, 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
soil. After the tops die down the sets
are stored in thin layers in a cool
place to be planted next spring. each
set making large onion the
second year. The white silver-skin
ap1 ua1Iouy noprarc Uoria+ioO ora
considered the best market 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 a
gross feeder it delights in any kind of
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 order
to save labor.
The maggot is an enemy that gives
trouble and is not easily subdued, but
where the crop is grown on new beds,
instead of on the same location every
year, as was formerly the practice,
the depredations of the maggot have
been greatly reduced. The onion bed
should receive only fine, weIl-rotted
manure, free from any kind of litter,
and well incorporated into the soil,
which should be worked over until not
a clod can be found, for upon the thor
ough preparation of the soil depends
the yield of the crop, which may range
anywhere from 100 to 600 bushels per
acre, according TO the soil and manage
ment. The crop is paying one, as
the supply is seldom equal to the de-
mand. -Philadelphia Record.
