HARVESTING ONIONS.
Directions Given In Farmers' Bulle

by HorticIitarist Il. L. Watts.
Onions shoEId he promptly harvested
at maturity. Harvesting should begin
when most of tho nccks have turned
yellow and are considerably withered.
Although the,e is generally still quite
q number OK green tops when the main
crop is ready fer harvesting, the bulbs
Of these will thoroughly ripen il pulled
along with the others. It is not safe to
postpone the harvesting on account of q
few green tops. If left too long in the
ground, the bulbs are liable to reroot,
especially if there are frequent show
ers, and the quality of the bulbs is in
jured. Promptness in harvesting is not
quite SO important If the transplanting
system is followed, as in this case the
crnp usually natures at dry season.
The pulling of the crop is not an ex-
pensive operation if the bulbs are large
and do not set too deep in the ground.
Boys may be most economically en-
ployed in this work. The plants are
simply pulled by the hand and deposit
ed in windrows containing the onions
from three or four rows The crop is
left in these windrows until fully cured,
which will require from week to ten
Or more days. On bright days the cur
ing will be hastened by stirring with a
wooden rake. The bulbs must be raked
very gently to prevent bruising, which
causes them to decay rapidly, special
precautions being necessary in this re-
spect with foreign varieties.
If there is danger Of rainy season,
the crop may be cured in open sheds or
ON barn floor. The bulbs Of white va
rieties must be handled with greater
care than those Of the red and yellow
sorts. If the rays of the sun are very
hot, the onions should be gathered in
piles, each containing enough onions to
make about barrel and then protected
by thin layers of straw. This will pre-
vent the sun from turning exposed por-
tions Of the onions green After tho crop
is cured the bulbs are sorted, torped if
desired and properly stored. Al weeds
and refuse should be removed from, the
plantation. and, if possible, fall crop
grown on the land. Celery is highly
profitable to follow onions where the
soil is favorable to the growth of this
vegetable. Cowpeas or turnips may be
sown or a crop of picking onions raised.

A Vigorous Timothy Sod.

There is no better proportion for a
vigorous timothy sod than to SOW alsike
clover seed with it, according to Ameri-
can Cultivator, authority for the fol-
lowing: Alsike is better than the CON-
mon red clover, because it does not grow
30 rank as to smother the grass sown
with it. Besides this, when the alsike
grows up the second year and seeds
with its first and only crop, after alsike
has seeded, the entire plant dies, and its
roots, scattered through the soil, begin
at cnce to lot. furnishing an abundance
of plant food for the grass roots. Up to
the time the alsike clover is cut the
timothy will not make much growth,
but SO soon as the alsike is out of the
way the timothy shoots up, and its roots
spread SO that complete sod is very
quickly formed.
A good growth of alsike clover and
second crop of timothy, the latter. u
tons per acre, have been grown in the
northern states the same year. With the
growth, which keeps the timothy back
SO that it does not fill the ground until
the third year. Though red clover is a
biennial, it lasts longer than the alsike,
for one reason, probably, because it is a
more uncertain seeder. If red clover
fails to seed through too frequent cut
ting, its life may be continued until the
third year and possibly longer. This is
true also of most other bienniala

The city officers learned that lager beer
was being served at the restaurant on

drinkers as fast as they were served.
Then Marshals Parks, Hicks and Barrett
arrested Mr.. Glenn for violation of CITY

had been formed by number OF men. who
sent off and bought the beer and it was
served at his restaurant. But the officers
had names of parties who didn't belong to
the club. They went into the house

subsequently gave bond tor his appear

"Poor Mans Money"

Among the tranSparencies carried by
the shouters for Bryan at Des MOines
Friday evening were some bearing the
words, "Siiver is the poor mans money"
Vote for the poor mans money and "A
200-cent dollar is a dishonest dollar
Such sentences show the drift of the
public mind and reveal only too plainly
that with many people the silver ques-
ton is one of prejudice rather than one
of reason. What is the meaning of the
phrase. "Silver is the poor mans mon
eyT' We doubt very much If the man
who carried that transparency could
have given an intelligent answer. Under
present conditions silver dollar of the

home or abroad as n gold dollar. 1t
makes no difference to the workingman
whether he receives his weekly wages
in gold or silver coin. The amount of
goods he can purchase is the same. I'm
til the agitation of the silvertes drove
the gold of the country into hiding places
workmen were often paid in gold and
when this silver craze is squelched they
will again receive gold as part of their
wages.
There is one way, however, in which
silver can he said TO be the poor mans
money. In those countries where the
coinage of silver is unrestricted the wage
earners are emphatically poor. list
of those countries is printed in another
column this morning and the wages paid
TO skilled and unskilled laborers given. As
was shown by the well-authenticated let
tiers from Mexico published in the Re-
publican OH Friday and Saturday the
price of the necessaries of life in these
countries is double the price paid in the
United States. Is this "the poor mans
money" that the wage-earners of the
United States are TO vote fori Are they
willing to sink TO the level of the Mexi-
can peon or the coolie of India? If so
the way TO do il is TO vote for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. If a
free coinage law such as is contemplated
by the silverites be passed. one of two
things must happen. Either the silver
of the entire world must be lifted to a
parity with gold or the silver dollar of
the United States must sink TO the level
of Mexico and other silver countries.
In that case the wages of the working
man will be cut in two and he will in
deed have cause 10 talk of poor mans
money"

to be paid in good money Cedar Rap

Washington told us over and over again

said that the most important source of
strength was the public credit, and that
the best method of preserving ii was to

enough to get on without ii. In the
