Mr.. ii. Sopes occurs the following inter-
esting remarks about this popular bev-
erage: ''We are constantly being
asked what treatment cider requires at
different seasons. With respect to
casks for summer consumption we
recommend them staged in cool cell
lar, the contents kept from air as much
as possible, also taking care to use
wood trap, metal ones being very OBJ
jectionable for cider. / bottle and fer
summer consumption within u few
weeks the bottles may stand on end,
but where intended for longer keeping.
especially through the winter, 1t is abb
solutely necessary To lay them down in
order that the corks may remain moist
to preserve the gas and flavor; cider so
treated and kept will improve greatly.
Before using, old bottled cider requires
standing up two days to allow the de-
posit TO subsidc. In hot weather, be-
fore opening. il the bottles are plunged
for an hour in ice, broken fine, a most
delicious, cool drink, closely resembling
n fine champagne, win be the rewards
this is far superior TO the usual custom
of cmptying bottle into a jug and
then adding lump or two of ice; such
a course completely changes the elders

KEROSENE is the best of all insect

be applied as an emulsion.
Ir is claimed that the bad condition
of many of our country roads is caused
more by ignorance of the laws of drain
age than from any other cause.
SOME one has suggested that the dogs
carry bells instead of the sheep, and
that every dog-collar should have bell
attached to il, which would give indi-
cation of their presence.
IT is not best to allow the chickens
to eat the dead bees around the hives,
as they soon get to liking them so well
that they do not stop at dead ones, but
pick them off as fast as they come out
of the hive.
THE tomato will bear ripe fruit and

TO ELEVATE THE MONKEYS.

A Scheme for Producing ~ Arlstocrlcy
OF Intellect Among siinians.
A man of large means, who resides in
Washington, has recently declared his
intention, privately, to devote 100000
to very original purpose. The idea,
says the Washington Sf@r, is thilt no
satisfactory opportunity has ever been
afforded for the development Of the in
telleet Of the brute. Intelligence, like
bodily qualities, is susceptible Of inn
provement through breeding, as every
one knows who has thought about the
evolution Of the dog from the wolf by
artificial selection. This rich man pro-
poses that monkeys or apes shall be
taken as subjects for experiment, sim
ply because man understands those ami
mails better than he does others.
Let fifty Of them, half males and half
females. be placed in paddock, suit
ably provided with separate quarters
for the sexes. Then have them breed,
pair by pair, as shall be directed by
those who superintend. Some of them
will develop certain abilities more con
spicuously than others. For example,
certain individuals win exhibit sIpe-
rior understanding Of the commands
addressed TO them, or will show
greater dexterity in tue handling OF OBJ
jects Those which appear stupid are
TO be expelled from the colony, their
places being filed by fresh recruits.
When male and female are found
who exhibit the same sort of aptitude
in any direction they are TO be mated.
This process, carried on for generations,
would necessarily result in the develop
ment of superior characters until finally,
after the lapse of twenty-five years,
perhaps, there would almost certainly
be apes or monkeys far higher in the
scale OF reason than any known up to
tho present time.
These putativc cousins of the human
race have already exhibited a mental
and even mechanical capacity sufficient
10 give ground for great hopes Of possi-
bic development in point Of intellect.
Chimpanzccs have been taught 10 bring
things 10 the table and the big Langur
baboon of India is commonly used IN
that country to-day as servant for
working the punlsah fans, with which
flies are kept away from dinner tables.
Explorer Stanley has given an account
of apes which carry torches at night.
This Is believed by scientists to be an
absurdity, because all the anthropoid
and simian tribes are too afraid of fire
TO render such thing possible. IL is
fact well known that gorillas, while
they win gather about a deserted camp
fire for the sake Of warmth, will never
think Of keeping the embers alight by
adding fuel. Nevertheless, every book
on natural history relates many an in
stance illustrative of these creatures
thinking powers, and there Is no ques-
ton that it could be greatly improved
by the process Of judicious breeding.

CULTURE OF ONIONS.
Conditions Under Which Planting In the
Fall Is Adyisable.


II properly mulched before the
weather gets too cold onions can be
planted in the fall One of the princi-
pal advantages in planting in the fall
is that the work is done, the seed or
sets have germinated, and when the
season opens in the spring they are
ready TO start to grow As earliness is
necessary in growing n good crop of
onions this is quite an item. The
sooner onions are planted in the spring
the better, and in many cases by
planting in the fall they viii get sew
eral days to grow earlier than If the
planting was not done until spring.
October is good time to do the plant
ing, although in favorable season the
planting may be dcne as late as No
vember with good results.
To grow good crop of onions, it is
very necessary to have strong, rich
soil thoroughly prepared. 1t is diff
cult to have the soil too rich, and while
it is best, when il can be done, to use
well,rotted and fined manure, yet when
this cannot be done fresh, course man
ure is n good fertilizer for onions. Poul-
try manure is good fertilizer for onions.
A good plan of applying is to prepare
the soil all ready for the seeds or sets,
and then apply the poultry manure as
top dressing, working it into the sur
face with a rake; or it can be applied
broadcast after the planting is done.
Onions grow very near the surface,
and whatever fertilizer is applied should
he on or near fhe surface
If the cultivation is to be done by
hand, either with the hoe or garden
cultivator, twelve or fifteen inches is
about the right distance TO mark out
the rows: but if the horse cultivator is
to be used, two or two and half feet
apart win be best
Do not mark out the rows too deep.
In nearly all cases shallow planting
will give the best results. Press the
soil down on the sets after covering
so as TO get good start to grow. Be-
fore the weather gets too cold good
mulch should be applied. When it can
b. had fresh. coarse manure is good
material to use for the purpose. Wheat
straw can be used; oat straw or hay
should not be used, because as a rule
they contain too many seeds.
The best time to apply the mulch Is
after there is light freeze. By this
plan onions can be grown for market
several days earlier than if the planting
is delayed until spring, and in many
cases few days will make consider
able difference in the pricc.-St. Louis
Proublic
