The Camel i'm War.

The camel is good soldier.
1t nay be stupidity and it may be
bravery, but a camel is as steady under
fire as n tower. The Persians mounted
small cannon on the backs of their
c8mcls, and called them zamb- wahs or
''little wasps." This fashion was
adopted in India, and after the battle
of SobroaOn 1000 of these artillery
camols were captured. In the Indian
mutinY the British had camel corps
of $50 beasts and on the back of each
camel sat a Scotch Highlander in his
kilt. In 1915 Sir Charles Napier had
camel corps i'll Sindh, and in one day
he marched sevcnty-tivo miles, de-
feated a brigand chief and marched
home again. In 1878 the British used
calnels against the Afghans and the
Government paid for $4,000 eamels
that died i'll those campaigns. Many
of these were driven to death by their
owners in order that they might claim
the Government bounty. milwaukee,

BULL POWER.

There are many good reasons why
bulls should be worked more than they
are, and no good reason that we are
aware of why they should not be, ex-
cept that they are sometimes unruly
and hard to manage. When working
in treadmill, however, this objection
is Of little consequence, and If little
tact is used in feeding his majesty with
few oats after his work is done, he
will soon become reconciled to the
drudgery and take to it kindly.
The bull has advantage of the horse
for this kind of work in that he is not
likely to be in demand for other work
and can be depended upon when
wanted.
The improved conveniences of the
modern dairy farm demand the use Of
cheap power of some sort for running
the separator, the churn, pumping
water, saving wood, etc. The wind
mill is admirably adapted to doing
many of these jobs, such as pumping
water and saving wood and cutting
fodder, which can be done whenever
the wind blows and. occasion demands.
But power that can be depended upon
for moderate work daily, without re-
gard to wind, and that shall be less ex
pensive and troublesome than steam,
is in demand on many dairy farms, and
the bull seems admirably qualified to
fill this want.
There can be no question that mod
crate daily exercise is a good thing for
the bull it makes him more vigorous
and sure as a sire, more tractable and
less dangerous to handle, and greatly
diminishes the risk of his suddenly be-
coming treacherous. The testimony
of many farmers who have tried it is
unanimous on these points. - Massa-

scribes the novel and effective method
he took for clearing some neglected
land of Canada thistles AS an expert
ment he took clod-crusher, made of
two-inch plank, loaded it with as
much stone as the horses could draw
and broke the thistles down fiat and
then plowed them deeply under.
The plan succeeded perfectly. 1t
seems that their entire vigor, vitality
and substance were then in their tops,
as they were ready for scattering the
seeds. They were entirely destroyed,
and market gardener raised vege-
tables on the land the next season.

NEW ONION CULTURE.

[ would call attention 10 the new
method of raising onions, says c. T.
Ahearn in the Epitomist Having
tried it myself I know it to be far
ahead of the common mode of culture.
The new way consists IL sowing the
seed in hOt-bed six or eight weeks
before the usual time of sowing in
open ground. Prepare the ground as
you would for planting in the old
way. The ground cannot be made too
rich and fine and must be as free from
stones as possible. A sandy loan,
with plenty of decaying vegetable
matter and we'll drained, is the right
kind of soil for onions.
Transplant the onions into rows one
foot apart and three inches apart in
the row. While the transplanting
takes good deal of time and labor,
1t makes the after cultivation SO much
easier that there is a real gain, as it is
much more labor to put weedy onion
bed in order than it is to transplant
young onions. By this method of
raising onions they have a much
longer season in which to mature,
consequently they will grow larger
and produce heavier crop. It makes
onion culture almost sure thing.
If the season is late, the onions can
be kept growing in the hot-bed until
the ground can be put into proper
condition, as they are easily trans
planted at any time in their growth
before the bulb begins to swell
A hotbed three by six feet will take
about one and half ounces of seed,
which will produce enough onions for
eight or nine square rods Of ground.

WINTER REMEDY EOR PEACH MILDEw.
California peach growers have found
that the use of lime, salt and sulphur
