ALUMBER PORT ON LAKE
PONrCHARTRAIN.


A belt road like that suggested
by the News with . branch road Il
some suitable point on the lake
would facilitate the over-the-lake
lumber trade with the city consider
ably. A noarishing lumbef port
would develop on the lake shore
which, in connection with the belt,
would render the cheap transit Of
lumber to the city BY any Of the
railroads IN easy matter. The
bother and expense Of the two b.
sins, or canals to the lake, thus
would be obviated, and over6ows
from the lake by means of these
canals would cease II it should Be
found that no absolute necessity
would exist for the continuance OF
these means Of communication with
the lake. People in the back-of-
town Observation-Disclosures and own
ems of truck farms-would apprecs.
ate this condition of affairs, il NO
others.-Daily News.

ONIONS.

There ts no more profitable crop
raised than onions, whether sold
green to the market, or ripe and
by the bushel. Properly planted
and cultivated, they yield . heavy
crop making from 500 to 500 bushels
per acre.
It is astrange thing that those who
raise onions depend upon the mar
ket for their onion sets, when they
can be raised with 90 little trouble
and expense. Onion sets always
command . high price, hardly ever
lower than four to five dollars per
bushel. Our southern climate is
much better suited to their growth
than the more northern section,
because we can raise them both
in spring and fan, while in the
North they are only grown in spring.
To raise sets two things are ab-
solutely necessary, the gpund must
be poor-the poorer The better
50 that the bulb will mature -
small - possible, for the smaller
the sets the better. A Get no
larger than . bnck-shot WIN make
% large m onion - one half IN
inch in diameter. The next requi-
site is. the ground must be free
from grass and weeds. The
ground must be well broken, and
then well narrowed or raled, % q
to be clean of all trash. The seed
can be planted in drills Of broad
cast. We think it better to make
drills about fifteen inches apart and
SOW fairly thin in the drill, though
the writer has made fine sets sown
broadcast in the month Of Septem-
her, and gathered the inst part Of
November. When We say the sets
are to be grown on poor soil, it
must not be understood that the
onions can be raised on poor land,
for there is no crop grown that de-
mands better soil or that pays bet
ter on good soil than onions. The
best land on the place must be Sc
lected and well prepared BY plow-
ing, narrowing and rolling. Then
the best rotten stable or chicken
house manure may be used with
profit. Onion sets may be kept
through the winter by packing them
away in the loft in hay, or any dry
trash SO they connot freeze

Farm NoteS.

sEhh SStcSs
In selecting for a small dock, lambs,
mutton and wool should all be consid-
cred.
Better stack the straw out doors than
leave the carriages and implements
/ unhoused.
Water is as much needed by fowls
as by animals and to serve its proper
purpose ii must be pure.
Good horse. are always high, and
that 10 more than can be said Of any
thing else the farmer raises.
No other animal about the farm suf-
fers 50 quickly from wet feet ~ sheep.
Give 8 dry pen well ventilated.
All animals need e supply Of salt in
winter a. much a. in summer. Give
IL often 30 they will not eat too much.
An open shed, tight on three sides,
Is warmer than 9 barn with open
cracks al around for the wind 10 draw
through.
Some general rules are we'll enough
tor the poultry business, but the bust
ness cannot be made . success BY rule.
More observation 10 absolutely neces-
ssry.
When young stock comes to the barn,
remember the difference in value be-
tween . good animal and 8 poor one,
and give every one = chance to do its
best
Some rules will not apply TO ali
breeds nor to all seasons. and many
special cases demand special treatment
and the man who depends on general
principle 10 soon lost.
A sheep over two years old which
bss become unusually fat should be
marketed, - they seldom get in that
condition again. This applies TO sheep
In large nOcks.
II you are going TO have q horse fork
put in for next season, have il done
now while agents are not busy, and
the hay In the barn will make il much
more easy to climb.
A fns cross for general purposes
can Be obtained by mating Buff Cochin
pullets with . brown Leghorn cock
They make beautiful birds, good lay
,rs and nice dressing fowl.
Now 10 . good time TO make selec-
| lions Of pullets for layers. For breed
ing stock they should De procured early
enough to be sure that they have not
been mated with other breeds.
Many people have failed il keeping
iucks for the reason that they treated
them more like fish than fowl. Pekin
ducks need no more water than hens
and hens often need more than thev
get.
II Is about time for another boom in
the sheep business, and there are some
signs of il, and the wise farmer will
reduce his fiock when prices are high.
Such excitements do not last long, and
sheep increase very fast when people
are holding on to all they have.
The Western Rural truly says "there
10 nobody who is doing business for
the fun of the thing, or giving away
valuable goods to strangers just to in
troduce them Ii you get . circular
