LAND FOR ONIONS

The black vegetable soil commonly
known as muck is the best for this
vegetable. 1t must, however, be
thoroughly drained and we'll manured,
or-which is -fertilized, which
has the advantage of preventing weeds,
that are the worst pest OF the onion
grower, and very costly to get rid OF.
Absolutely clean ground is indispen-
sable to success with onions. The
safest method is to plant the sets or
small onions of the previous year,
which are sold by the seedsmen. Or
they may be grown by any one by
sowing seeds thickly, at the rate of
sixty to seventy pounds of seed per
acre in the spring. BY July the tops
will dry, when the small onions are
gathered and dried, and kept dry un-
til the fall, when they may be planted,
where the winter is mild, and will
make large onions by the middle of
the next summer. Ten bushels of sets
will plant an acre, set in rows foot
apart, and two inches apart in the
rows. Or seed may be sown in the
spring and the onions gathered in the
fall. Seven pounds of seed are re-
quired to SOW an acre in rows foot
apart. 1t is necessary to keep the
rows wholly free from weeds by re-
peated hand wedding. New York

WINTER DAIRYING.

There is but little doubt that the
coming winter will see n good many
farmers abandoning dairying as a win
ter business on account of the high
price of many of the COW feeds and
scarcity, but in most of these in
stances we think mistake will be
made. A disadvantage is that cows
are selling cheap, even for the best,
and next spring they will be unusually
high, and the dry cows wintered will
eat and produce nothing to compen-
sate for their food. When it comes
to problem OF exchange, it is
doubtful if feed even at present prices
can be turned into anything more
profitable than 20-cent butter, pro-
yided one has a warm barn and the
necessary arrangements to well care
for his cows, so there is not an undue de-
mand upon the food toprotect the COW
from the rigors of winter; and this
waste makes the feed bill high, when
tar paper and hemlock boards would
have accomplished the same purpose
and left the food-extra-to have
gone either to more economical
keeping of the COW or greater yield
OF milk.
One of the reasons why the winter
dairy we'll managed is profitable is
that there is a daily compensation for
ones labor and outlay in feed, as
there is constant call for milk and
butter in the winter, and one is not
obliged to anticipate or run up bills
for the future, as butter and milk are
spot cash goods, and it is quick ro-
tation-if the term may be used-of
feed into produce, and as quickly
turned into money. Not the least oil
the economies of the winter dairy il
the fact that, as now demonstrated,
the milch COW will actually do better
and produce better on the more rough
foods. like corn fodder, roots and the

Growing Moment of a Ships Career

A successful launch of large ves-
sci has been called the crowning mo-
ment ofa ship builders career. Some
one has said also that launch is the
most delicate part of the ship builders
work. 1t is very difficult to say what
is the most delicate part of ship build
ing, for the simple reason that there
doesn't seem to be any part of it that
isn't delicate. No more complex ma
chinery is made than the wonderful
marine engine no more carefully de-
signed structure exists than the sail of
of modern steamship. A launch is
us much matter of mathematics as
any part of the work of building a
ship, and perhaps it is because launches
are always inspiring that they have
been called the crowning occasions of
ship building.
1t is only since the United States
began to build Il new navy that we
have had launches of large vessels in
this country. We have built so many
fire warships that it was not unusually
difficult for us to build merchant ves-
sells of the first grade, and We have
just finished two ships next in size to
the two largest ships that are ahoat
in the world.
Building these ships was great
achievement, however, and hence the
ceremony OF putting them into the
water from dry land attracted great
attention throughout the country, and
was attended in each case by thou
sands of spectators.
They saw the picturesque side oi
each of these events. They saw the
foam as the christening bottle of wine
was broken upon the bow. They
heard the cheers and shouts and helped
to make them. They waved their hiatt
and handkerchiefs as the ship begaI
to glide down into the wator, ant
each man almost held his breath unit
he saw her safe in the stream &C
knowledging the plaudits of the mul
titude by making graceful bow.

Capture Of q Freak Fish.

The queer freak OF the sea captured
by italian fishermen near Goat Island
Oakland, CAL, which has been on ex-
hibition, has been purchased by the
Academy of Sciences and shipped to
San Francisco.
j. II. w. Riley, stenographer in
the Superior Court, who is an ichthy.
illogical expert, made aninspection of
the fish recently, then he con-
suited his books and announced that
it was a fox-shark-a creature very
rare on the coast.
III have made close examination, i"
said Mr.. Riley, "aud 1 am certain
that the fish is of that class known as
fox shark or thresher. will give you
the correct designation of it from my
authority: Fox shark, or thresher,
also called swingle-tail, sea fox, sea
ape. 1t ranges from Cape Cod to
Florida. Mitchell describes it as a
long-tailed shark, his specimen being
tairteen feet in length. DE Kay de-
scribes it as the thresher shark, and
says: The species has been noticed
on our coast from Nova Scotia to
New York. Storer records it as the
same and puts the length at from IL
to Is feet. We have heard of one
being caught at Nahant which meas
ured 20 feet. 1t is frequently caught
in seines in Massachusetts, Bay. The
tail of this species is fully ono- half OF
the total length.
81 have no doubt" continued Mr..
Riley, "that it is fox shark. It ia
certainly curiosity on this coast,
and L have never heard of another
being captured. / am glad that the
Academy of Sciences has secured 1T,
for the reason that it will be valu-
able curiosity. This one is not quite
as large as those described, for il
measures only eleven feet. But then
that is a pretty catch for fisherman
in the Bay OF San Francisco. These
fox sharks are good fighters with their
tails, which is their only means of de-
fence. They go into school of small
fish and switch their tails with great
rapidity and force, killing and stun
ming many of their victims, and in
this manner they secure their food. u

Mrs Laura b. Wood is in the Cam
den, n. j., Jail. She is charged, re-
lates the New York Advertiser, with
stealing S2, 900 from the company by
which she was employed. She changed
the figures on checks and collected
the money herself. She obtained her
position two years ago by alighting
ut the door of Ruben Freemnn, presi-
dent of the Opumus Printing Com
pany, from bicycle and walking into
his Office. She said, "I have no refer
ences, but l am an expert bookkeeper
and want job" She wore bloomers
and was attractive looking. The former
bookkeeper had had excellent refer.
snces and was dishonest, so Mr.. Free
man was not optimistically partial to
references. Mrs. Wood got the posi-
tion, aud now Mr.. freeman does
not believe in anyone.

1t is we'll known how ingenious
machinery has well-nigh revolution
lied the once intricate work of the
carpenter, leaving only the simplest
part of the trade for manual labor.
Never was this innovation of patented
devices more marked than between
1880 and 1890, yet we read in the De-
troit Free Press that there were 3d.
.547 carpenters in the United States in
the former year, while there We're
140,6 ,621 in 1890, and the average
wages of the latter were $675 against
S450 for those who had far less ma
chinery to contend with. Between
the same years great strides We're
made in the molding and handling Of
brick by machinery. yet the
number OF workmen doubled,
while the number of yards was
but slightly increased, and the
wages advanced from an annual aver
age of 1928 to $500. In few indus
tries has the saving of labor by ma
chinery been more marked than in the
manufacture OF furniture, and the
cheapening OF the product has beer
simply amazing. Yet the numbar o.
men employed in it increased frcn
55,8O4 in 1880, to 92,3O4 in 1890
wages advancing from an average o.
$453 to $528. This line of evidenc,
might be pursued throughout tn
list Of industries where, for any con
siderable time machinery has beei
the work of brains and hands. Th
conclusion forced is that the intro
duction OF labor saving machinery
not to reduce permanently the numbe
of employees. but simply to readjus
the working force aud insure highe
