CULTIVATION II OF ONIONS.
How Onions for Market May BE Started
In Hotbeds with Profit.

How Onions for Market May BE Started
In Hotbeds with Profit.
At the Ohio experiment station it has
been demonstrated that onion seed may
be sown in the greenhouse or hotbed
in February OF March and successfully
transplanted to the open groundin April
or May. Compared with onions grown
by the ordinary method the transplanted
ones were from so to 100 per cent. ahead
in size and total marketable product. A
marked difference has been observed in
varieties, however, as to their adapta-
bility to this method of treatment.
It is reported that the early varieties
appear to be the class of onions best
adapted to this method. Nearly all are
white and much fattened. Some attain
five inches in diameter and less than
two inches in thickness. If sown in
February and transplanted into the open
ground as early as it can be worked in
the spring, the young onions may be
pulled for punching in May and June
or nearly as early as those grown from
sets. By July they are ripe enough to
be pulled and sold in the dry state. Both
in the green and dry state they are much
superior to onions grown from sets and
sell for higher price. Also not only do
they bring fancy price, but the ground
is cleared in time for celery or other fall
crops.
Early varieties that gave the most sat
isfactory results at the station were the
Barletta, Marzajola, Pearl and Bermuda.
The first named is the earliest, while the
Marzajola is two weeks later but much
larger. The Barletta is sold under many
names, such as Extra EARLY Barletta,
Adriatic Barletta, New EARLY Adriatic,
Bloomsdale Pearl, New Queen, Early
Radish, etc. Some of the second early
sorts, such as Danvers, Wethersfield,
Michigan and White Globe do not re-
spond so readily to this method of treat
ment as the extreme early and late sorts.
They have in every instance given in
creased yields by transplanting, how
ever, but the gain is less than with some
of the early and late sorts.
Of the second early and late varieties
the White Victoria and Prize Taker are
the best thus far tested. Both grow to a
large size, frequently weighing more
than pound each, and have at the sta
ton yielded at the rate of 1000 bushels
per acre in several cases.

Considerable surprise was caused the
other morning in the southern quarters
of Berlin by the presence of the emperor
and two of his little sons in one of the
streets leading to tho military drill
ground in the Hasenheide. His majesty
had been desirous of witnessing shooting
practice by the troops Of the Berlin gar

arbiter Of fashion today is an ex-printer
tho famous man milliner, Charles
Frederick Worth, of Paris.
Two things are deserving of particu-
lar mention in connection with NJ.
Worth's career-he is an Englishman,
and the only royal parsonage in the civil
lized world from whom he has never re-
ceived an order is Queen Victoria. As
before stated he began his business life
as compositor, served a regular ap-
premiership, and showed such skill that

lis not exactly known how he CHANGED
to gravitate from the ''frame" to the dry
goods emporium, but he made the change
nevertheless, and first gained repute in
the world of fashion as a designer of
costumes for Swan Sc Edgar, a firm
famous in the English metropolis many
years ago. The silks and satins he pre-
ferred to handle in place of the types
were generally Of French importation,
and through acquaintance with repre-
sentatives Of foreign exporting houses
he managed to secure e wider field for
the exercise of his remarkable talent as
"a "man nilliner." Going to Paris he
''found the fullest scope and the greatest
encouragement for the exercise of his
ability" He entered the firm Of Gagelin
& Co. as a partner, and soon made it the
uncha1lenged arbiter Of elegance, SO far

as female e


The Second Empire was then at the
height of its prosperity, power and mag
nifcence. Far and wide the Empress
Eugenie was recognized both as the con-
sort of great monarch and as the
queen of beauty. Whatever she did was
sure to meet approval and find imitators.
She bought a gown of Worth that suited
her fastidious taste, and from that mo-
ment Worth's fortune and position were
assured. First the new nobility OF
France clamored at his doors-that no.
bility that depended for its rank and
recognition on the favor of the Bona
partes. Then followed the more exclu-
sive set of the Faubourg st. Germaine,
the people whose titles and ancestry date
back to tho days of Charlemagne and
who still dream of the re-establishment
of the Boarbons and the fresh unfuring
of the Lily flag that waved at Fontenoy
and was bathed in blood and disaster
during the days Of revolution.
Well, the ex-printer scored his tri-
umph and still holds his own. The en-
pire has vanished, the house founded by
the "Iittle Corporal" is practically no
more, but Worth remains as much
leader in the costuming of the ladies of
the republican court of Carnot as he was
in the era when Eugene was his patron
esq and the Bonapartes seemed all pow
erful and perpetual.
On the American side of the "big
pond" there are hundreds, if not thou
sands, of members of the craft who have
achieved well earned prominence and
distinction Among these must be nuln-
bered George w. Peck, now chief execu-
tive of the great state of Wisconsin.
Years ago Mr.. Peck was typesetter on
a Madison newspaper, and it is but

Material mansion in which he now re-

When railroads were first introduced.
the engineers. as we call them-Or the
engine drivers, as they are called in Eng
land-ran their trains almost as they
liked, making up time when they had
fallen behind, picking up such informa-
ton as they could as to the state of the
track ahead of them, and for the most
part plunging ahead with their ma
chimes without much more than a sur
mise whether they should bring up at
their destination or at the bottom of
some high embankment.
Some Of the results of this want of
system would have been amusing if they
had not been disastrous. Mr.. Laurence
Oliphant, an English traveller and author
tells in one of his books a rather grim
story of trip which he made by rail, in
1855, from Chicago to New York. Over
part of the distance the train made the
extraordinary speed, for that time, of
fifty miles an hour, and presently it ran
off the track
Fortunately, the cars were imbedded
in soft clay ditch, and no one was
seriously hurt; and in the midst of the
commotion, Mr., Oliphant says he heard
the engineer thus admonish the switch
man, whose carelessness had caused the
accident:
"Now, Tom, this is the third time
you've forgot TO set that switch, and the
last time there was twenty people went
under and the rest was bruised So
mind what you're about, and don't for
get that switch again, for if you do I'll
tell the boss

while another complained that his
poiutsmen had been fighting, as the ag-
gressor "threw a stone at Ram Buksh,
which fortunately hit Ram Buksh's
wife" He added that unless both these
men are scattered in different directions
by opposing trains there will be murder
and suicide, including to myself" On
visiting a local hospital the governor
was presented with a petition against

complainants, "had string loose over
his subordinates, and will never secure

be his fate. London Graphic.

In the year 1925 the holiday time in
England was known as the still Christ

Henry VIII the singing of carols and the
noisy hilarity peculiar to Christmas were
prohibited. Some who have lain sleep
less through nights of horn blowing, the
explosion of firecrackers, ETC., especially
at the south, where many of the old En-
glish holiday customs are still observed,
may understand and appreciate the royal
mandate for ''still Christmas. With
this one exception, carols and other joy

1t is well known that country folk,
from being so constantly on their feet,
are usually blessed with understandings
of more generous proportions than those
of their city cousins, who, tempted by
the facilities for rapid transit, too often
deny themselves sufficient exercise This
applies more particularly to the men. l
have seen some country bred maidens
with the neatest, slenderest and most
dapper little feet in the world. But then
they don't plow from dawn to sunset.
As a rule. however, countryman can
be detected in city by the size Of his
extremities.

duces jerl1iness of gaia peculiar I'M
certainty about the body's motion, which
only a long residence in city can en-
tirely remove. In the man from the
districts where the land is still very
rough these marks Of his calling are ac-
centuated. Where the land is full of
burnt stumps and rocks blowing requires
considerable strength and more skill,
and the continual bracing up of the
plow in the burrows has a tendency to
make the farmer get into the habit of
walking with his legs wide apart, as
in this position he obtains greater con-
troll over the plow and maintains his
equilibrium Detroit Free Press.
