The onion Contest.

All those of our readers who are intend
ing to compete for the De Land Agricultu-
rists prize onion contest, here is most ex-
cellent advice for them, taken from the
Southern Cultivator which is right 80 times
out of a hundred:
Onions do not need alienation with
other crops. Some green crop that VIII
leave the ground well pnlverized is all that
is required to make q good crop 80 lar as
rotation lie concerned. Onions Will take
for their sustenance what other crops leave.
AS proof of this fact put any concentrated
fertilizer on your onion patch, the ground
will make as good crop next year as II
no onions had been planted IN II.
1t is we'll known fact that onions IKE
and will have better crop on old soil than
new. The reason is that the old soil has
been repeatedly fertilized and worked,
absolutely required by the onion.
First of all there must be no wash; this
can be avoided by under draining, deep
blowing and the repeated use OF the harrow.
AS the roots lie so near the surface no crust
must be allowed TO form.
LET us examine q moment into the pront
there may be in cultivs ting onions.
An acre in onions will cost

stralia Saturday. The boys are more
than well pleased with their handsome
new boat. 1t measures forty-one feet
in length and the cost was 5000. Mr..
ALT. Rogers, the San Francisco boat
builder, states that he has never bnilt
better boat. The members of the
club are naturally elated to know
they have such a handsome barge,
and it is stated that they will give a
christening party at the boat house
to allow the public to see it. There
is no truth in the report that the
barge will be named after Bill Will
liams, the lighthouse keeper, at least
a reporter of the ADVERTISER could
not find anyone to verify the fact.

NIan-Eating Wild Men.

In the celebrated "rravailes" of Ed
ward Webb (l59O) are dozens of stories
that would make Joe Mulhatton turn
green with envy One of the most cele-
brated of these is his story of the wild
men of Prester John, which is as fol-
lows: 'In the court of Prester John
there is wilde man, and another in
the high street of Constantinoplc, whose
allowance is every day quarter of raw
mutton; and when any man dyeth for
some notorious offence, then they are
allowed every day quarter of mans
flesh These wilde men are chained
fast to post every day. the one in
Prester Johns court, the other in the
high street of Constantinople, each of
them having a Eantell about their
shoulders, and all over their bodies
they have wonderful long haire. They
are chained by the neck lest they speed
lily devour all tina, cosaeth within their
reach"

TIME AND ENERGY.
a Man May BE Old in Hours, Thougl
Young In Years.

Man May Re Old in Hours, Though
Young In Years.
Bearing in mind the Importance of
the few years in which so rluch has to
bc acquired, so much accomplished by
the student, too great stress cannot be
laid on the value of proper rlcthod in
disposing both of time and energy.
"a man may be old in hours, though
young in years, if he have lost no
time" writes Lord Dacon, cnd it is in
the adjustment Of suitable periods to
particular tasks and tho utilization of
the brief and irregular intervals be-
tween that the saving of tho time prac-
tically consists. 1t has been estimated
that the mere difference between rising
at six and nine o'clock in the morning
for the space of forty years is nearly
equivalent to the addition of fifteen
years to q mans lifetime. There may
be some idiosyncracy in the matter of
getting up early, but in very many
cases both rising late and sitting up
late are largely the result of Incidence.
And for many who have sufficient occu-
patton in the daytime there is great
contrast between the intellectual value
fresh, and of the evening, when it is
fatigued and rather inclined for recrea-
tion than fresh effort.
But, ifpossible, of even more impor-
tance than the value of time is the
value of thought, and it is only the
power of commanding and controlling
the activity of the brain that can en-
able us to employ the brief time at our
disposal in furthering the objects
which we have in view. Barrow, the
early adviser of Isaac Newton, poetic
ally observed: "The spirits employed
in thought are apt to flutter and fly
away, so that it is herd to iiX them; our
mind being restless thing, never abid-
ing in a total cessation from thought
or from design and, like ship at sea,
if not steered to some good purpose by
reason, making no useful way, but yet
tossed by the waves of fancy or driven
by the winds of temptations some
whittier" Curiosity is the intellectual
appetite, but it requires both direction
and control for the assimilation of
sound and useful knowledge The eff.
feet of novelty in producing an impress
sion on the mind is most valuable,
but when not followed up by thorough
investigation it is useless. and too much
novelty is of all things the most weary
ing.
But in the midst of his work the stu
dent should be careful Of health The
best work is done when in the best
health, and this depends on a suitable
balance between mental and physical
eSertion, with plenty of fresh air and
regularity with regard to food and rest.
1t is far better, when necessary, to take
a brief holiday to avoid being i'll than to
endure longer absence from work en-
forced by illness.

LIFE ON THE MOON.
Telescopic Investigation Leads to the b
lief That Our satellite Is Inhabited.

Telescope Investigation Leads to tho Be-
lief That Our satellite Is Inhabited.
1t does not seem improbable that in
the course of events the earth and the
moon may become more intimately ac-
quainted. A few years ago scientists
held the theory that the moon was a
dead planet. without atmosphere, and
consequently uninhabited. This theory
has recently been entirely controverted.
The work began by Prof Holden at the
Lick observatory upon Mount Hamilton
has been steadily continued. and the
photographs taken 10y him and his as.
sistants have revealed certain facts hith-
erto unknown.
Photographic observations show a
perfect map of the moon. and upon the
summit OF one Of the highest mountains
is white spot which has the appear
ance of glacier, proving the presence of
atmosphere and making the theory of
the habitableness of the moon tenable.
1t is claimed by Prof Holden that by a
continuous series Of photographs he is
able to detect any changes upon the
surface of the moon, and that build.
ing fifty feet in height would cast an
appreciablc shadow, says the Chicago
Graphic.
If the moon is inhabited the fact will
certainly be discovered sooner or later,
but the question of the establishment
of communication is still unsolved, al
though in the face of the scientific
achievements of the last century we
will not predict that it is unsolvable.

American How long have you been

Englishman--About two years and a
half.
American-Iow far from London did
you livep
Englishman-Right in London; that
is, they call it London. Old London
was surrounded by wall. and was no
bigger than Philadelphia. The wall was
built by the Romans when they occu-
pied that part of England.
American-Is that so? How long ago
was that?
Englishman-Oh about eight hun
dred years or so. in the time of William
the Conqueror.
Americana didn't know the Romans
ever lived in England Was that wall
all around the city2
Englishman-Yes with several gates
in it. which were shut at night
American-What was that about?
Wasn't there king named George III.
who tried to conquer America and
didn't succeedp That was the time of
the revolution. They had trouble, the
English and Americans. up to 1912 or
1914.
Englishman-Yes, | believe there was
something of that kind.
American-Isnt London on river?
Englishman-Y Yes. on the Thames.

spelled, but it is wrong.

The Weight of q "Grain. /"

The smallest measure Of weight in
use. the grain. has it's name from being
originally the weight of grain of
wheat A statute passed in England in
1866 ordained that thirty-two grains of
wheat, taken from the middle Of the
ear, or head. and well dried, should
make pennyweight. twenty of which
ounces were to make a pound. The
pound. therefore consisted of 1850
grains. Some centuries later the penny
weight was divided into twenty-four
grains, which make the troy pound, as
now used. 5,760 grains. The penny
weight was the exact weight of the old
silver penny.
