About the wintering Of Onions.

We are asked how to winter onions.
Do not try to winter them. They are
too perishable too fool with. They
will rot and shrink, if kept, and should
be sold as early in the fall as possible.
Still they can be wintered. W.. Atlee
Burpee gives several ways of doing it
and they are practical. They can be
pitted like apples, covering somewhat
more lightly and leaving a chance for
ventilation at the top. Or they can be
spread in a dry loft, piled up a foot or
more high, and at the approach of Sc
we're weather covered with straw, hay
or mating. Light freezing does not
hurt them, if they are allowed to thaw
gradually and not handled while
frozen; but if exposed to a tempera-
ture lower than fifteen degrees above
zero, they are liable to rot. They can
be wintered in slitted barrels and in
crates and baskets in the cellar quite

to watch the workings of these meas-
ures when adopted and to secure any
possible improvement in them. The
next step is to make the best possible
use of convict labor in road building.
My impression is that state prison
convicts will be best employed in the
preparation of road materials in quar-
ry camps or gravel pits. where they
can be guarded and secluded as easily
as in prisons, and that county prison.
ers and tramps should do the grading
and all other preparatory work on the
roads.
In regions where rock is plenty, by
using the best machinery for crushing
stone and employing the convicts only
in quarrying and handling it an
amount of material could be produced
sufficient to macadamize all the roads
in the state as fast as they could be
prepared, and in addition to furnish
ballast for the railroads as a considera-
ton for their giving reduced rates on
road materials.
OF their own motion the railroads
are ready to contribute largely in this
way toward road improvement. In
their correspondence with the depart
ment of agriculture on the subject,
many have proposed to make half
rates or haul at bare cost whenever
a general advance toward road i'm
provement shall begin, and the state
commission would be in a position to
make better terms with them than any
private individual or local authority,
and better than we could do on behalf
of the general government without
the power to offer any definite assist
ance on its part in return.

Leaves Changing to branches.

Meehans' Monthly says hat only in
the present century has it been clearly
understood that every part of a plant
is but a modification OF one simple
form-as usually expressed, every part
of a plant is only a modified leaf blade.
But even the leaf blade is 4 modifica-
ton, and leaf and branch have sue h a
close and common origin that n may
be transformed to the other. The gar
dener knows that many leaves. such
as those of begonia, will produce buds
which ultimately become woody
plants. Even n cabbage leaf will often
shcw q tendency to produce a woody
stem. and an illustration is given Of
one, sent by a well-kuown grower, in
which the upper portion of the midrih
has started off on its own account and
formed a stalk with small cabbage
leaves projecting from it.

Consulting the Fates.

There are few nations, and few indi-
viduals even, that would now look to
the events of chance for any knowl-
edge of the future. A late instance of
what used to be a common form of
divination was reported in one of the
London newspapers at the time when
there was war between England and
Ashantee. The king of Ashantee con-
suited his fetish men in order to find
ont from them what his future fate
was to be and the result of his opposi-
ton to the English. He therefore,
after having resorted to various ean
without success, ordered two he-goats
to be selected and brought before him,
one entirely black, the other of a
spotted white color. This was done,
and after due fetish ceremonies had
been performed over the two goats,
they were set at each other. The white
goat easily overcame and killed his OPP
ponent. Koffee Calcalli, after this test,
was satisfied that he was doomed to
defeat at the hands of the white man.
He Immediately sent an embassy to
Sir Garnet Wolseley to sue for peace

DAIRY

Poor ventilation is undoubtedly IA
vorable to the development of tuber-
culosis.
Do You favor stanchions for cows?
we are asked. We were never much
of an admirer of stanchions.
GET a separator and power, and
make the bull or the dog furnish the
power according to the size of the ma
chine.
Cool the cream from a separator i'm
mediately to a low temperature. If it
is to be kept for two or three days cool
to forty degrees.
If the cow kicks you may know that
there is a cause, and if it is not re-
moved at once she may contract the
kicking habit for good.
The same cow may not give the
same quantity of milk or milk of the
same quality day after day. There is
often a very marked difference.
How MUCH grain is proper to feed
with ensilage? we are asked. That
depends on how much corn there is in
the ensilage. Mr.. Gurler, in American
Dairying. says that when there is
enough corn to make forty bushels to
the acre, he feeds mature cows five
pounds of wheat shorts and five pounds
of granagluton feed.--Farmers' Voice.

Doubtless some of the smart re-
marks attributed to witnesses in cousl
by constituencies story tellers could
not be supported by affidavits, but the
following conversation actually oc-
Cured at Pittsburgh recently: Attor-
ney Reardon was defending a client
charged with illegal liquor selling,
when Ruth Woodruff, a former client
of Reardon's, was called to the stand.
"You have been here before, haven't
you?" said the attorney. You ought
to know, Mr.. Reardon," she replied.
"And you were sent to the workhouse,
weren't you?" 'Well, l gave you
enough money to keep me out of it,"
retorted Ruth. "You were innocent,
of course" persisted the attorney, sar-
c~astically. "Well, you said l was" re-
piled Ruth. This ended her cross-ex-
animation.

door. The time needed to fit this up
is scarcely worth the mentioning
when one reflects upon the rich. red
fruit thus saved from spelling" The
closet may be large or small, with
more or less shelves, according to the
amount of the fruit raised. When
filed it should be set in a warm, moist
place and inspected from time to time
in order to remove any of the fruit
that may have ripened, before there is
possibility of decay and consequent
harm to the rest. The convenience of
the sliding shelves is apparent here,
as a whole shelf full may be inspected
at a glance by slipping out the. shelf.
Darkness is the important thing, and
the closely-fitting door at once secures
that, leaving only the necessary
moisture and warmth to be attended
to.-American Gardening.

The patent Office has only recently
settled a dispute involving a greatdeal
of money ver the rights in ''continu-
GUS" cigarette machines. 1t has de-
cided that the original inventor was
Albert II. Hook. This continuance has
greatly lessened the cost of making
cigarettes, which are now turned out
at the rate of five hundred a minute.
The paper is fed in a long strip end
wise to the machine, which feeds the
tobacco to it, and would produce "a
single cigarette a mile or so in length,
perhaps, only that a keen-edged knife
descends upon the cylinder as it passes
through and chops it off in lengths.
Incidentally to the same operation the
cigarettes are pasted, and without fur
ther labor they are ready to be put up
in packages for sale.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
GOOD ROAD PROBLEM.

Report of the Oficers Of Uncle Same
Agricultural Department.
The agricultural department is about
to issue elaborate information on the
subject of good roads," which con-
gress has directed the department to
investigate. The publication will en-
brace the entire proceedings Of the
national road conference, held at As
bury Park, N. j., July 5 and 6, at
which every shade of opinion on inn
proving roads was presented. Roy
Stone, the special agent and road en-
gineer of the department., will also in
clude a number of addresses on the
road question. He makes no report,
20 that these addresses practically
constitute a report. Mr.. Stone says
among other things:
The main question is how can a peo-
pie having no surplus capital build
good roads? For an answer we must
go where they have done it success
fully and study the methods. First,
we must study all the economics pos
sible in construction. Second, W.
must find out all the parties to be
benefited and see that each bears his
proper share of the cost, whether or
not he belongs to the immediate To-
cality or even to the present genera.
ton of men Third, we must look
into local questions of road materials
and transportation, and into all latest
improvements in road implements and
machinery.
But who is to do all this? And that
brings US to the first practical step in
general road improvement, namely,
that every state should have a perma-
nent commission composed of citizens
of the highest character to undertake
this investigation and recommend the
necessary measures to the legislature

ABOUT ROYALTY,

THE emperor Of Germany is q pro.
fcient drummer and can give lessons
to the best army drummers in the art

SOMEBODY in Germany started the
rumor that Prince and Princess Bis
marck were in the hands of their doc

declares that he and his wife are in ex-
cellent health.
The empress Of Germany is very pop.
ular with her husbands subjects. She
is not only a womanly woman in every
way, but she is in addition a model
"hausfrau," which the German admires
more than he does beauty.

was Chancellor Zabriski, of New Jer-

THE HANG OF A GOWN.

How the Masterpieces of the Modistes
Can Best BE Displayed.
Cultivate a back. The styles of this
winter are not meant for stoop-shoul-
dered persons or rounded backs. OF
u such women can try to wear
them, but, no matter how rich the
gowns and wraps, they will not have
any style or ''air' about their appear
ance. An lair" is the best endowment
a woman can have. She may be rich,
but a failure IN appearance. She may
be given a face like an houri's, but if
she hasn't an air she isn't a complete
success.
One important feature of an "air'' is
a back" A back is within reach of
almost any When you have
learned how to stand, every morning
after your bath take the correct stand
ing position. Ifyou nave chest weights,
use those. If not, throw the shoulders
firmly back, till the blades almost

Then put them well back, draw a deep.
full breath. and ma Ike the rotary mo-
ton with the shoulder joint that is
made in rowing. Repeat this whole
programme a dozen times.
Preserve the correct position of the
knees, legs, back and shoulders when
walking, and remember to think while
you are walking and draw deep, long
breaths very often. Persist in this,
and you will be surprised to see the
change in the shape of your back. In
stead of padding the top of the backs
of your dresses because the curves are
low down even with the bust line, your
dressmaker will be compelled to omit it,
and fit the backs of your dresses to give
you more breathing space.
You will be on the road to acquiring

ward of women who spend dollars in

more slender by contrast.-Cincinnati
