A somewhat domineering judge who
formerly held an appointment in a small
colony was sole occupant of the bench SO
he carried everything his own way. One
day a member of the local bar disputed his
ruling upon certain point and appealed
to printed authority in support of his po-
sition, and the judges account of the in
cident, as given by himself, is said to be
this
Would you believe it, one of my own
bar had the impertinence to tell me that
he was right and | was wrong, and he ap-
pealcd to lawboOk to support him, his

"And what did you do?' was the natural
question. What did do?' was the indig-
nant answer There was only one thing

HARVESTING ONIONS.
Directions Given In n Farmers Bulletin
by horticultural II. L. Watts.

Directions Given In Farmers Bulletin
by horticultural II. L. Watts.
Onions should be promptly harvested
at maturity. Harvesting should begin
when most of the nccks have turned
yellow and are considerably withered
Although there is generally still quite
a number of green tops when the main
crop is ready for harvesting, the bulbs
of these will thoroughly ripen if pulled
along with the others. 1t is not safe to
postpone the harvesting on account of
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. Promptncss in harvesting is not
quito so important if the transplanting
system is followed, as in this case the
crop usually natures at a dry season.
The pulling of the crop is not an ex-
pensive operation if the bulbs are large
and do not set too deep i'll the ground.
Boys may be most economically en-
plOyed i'll this work. The plants are
simply pulled by the hand and deposit
ed i'll windows containing the onions
lIOul Olttc VI lOuE IOMS. ne crop Is
left i'll these windows until fully cured,
which will require from week to ten
or more days On bright days the cur
ing will be FASTENED by stirring with a
wooden rake. The bulbs must be ralzed
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 a rainy season,
the crop may be cured in open sheds or
on a barn floor. The bulbs of white va
rieties must he 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 i'll
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 the crop
is cured the bulbs are sorted, topped if
desired and properly stored. All 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 Cowpcas or turnips may be
sown or a crop of picking onions raised.

The expense of an irrigating plant
and the cost of operating it will depend
upon the distance the water has to be
raised and carried to get it upon the
land as we'll as the method of moving
it, Professor Taft of the Michigan Ag-
ricultural college says that u windmill
with pumr, well and reservoir, suit
able for from three to five acres, should
not cost more than from $500 to $500 if
the water does not have to be raised moro
than 40 feet, and there would be COM
paratiyely little expense for operating it.
"A pumping plant, operated by a
steam or gasoline engine, suitable for 20
acres and capable Of supplying 80 or 60
acres, would cost perhaps 81, 600. The
cost of fuel for the latter would perhaps
be 10 cents per acre Tor elcvating the
water required for one application,
reckoning it at l per cent per horse
power for each hour operated, while for
the steam engine it would be about
twice that amount. Using Il steam en-
gine and centrifugal pump, water for
one application for 10 acres can be
raised 40 feet for about 81, including
cost of attendance, and 50 will distrib.
ute it upon the land, making the cost,
aside from the interest upon the invest
ment, rather less than 81 per acre. With
gasoline engine it would be 81. 80 for
fuel and 50 for applying the water, or
50 cents per acre for each application. "

Watering Horses.

1t used to be the rule to keep horses
from drinking at noon or night after
they had been working through the
forenoon or afternoon until they had
eaten their feed and had cooled down.
This was considered necessary in order
to prevent injury from taking cold water
while the system is heated. But this is
cruel to the horses, as they cannot eat
what they should if they are parched
with thirst. The better way is to give
each horse in the middle of the forenoon
a pail of water into which small guam
tity Of oatmeal has been stirred. This
will refresh and invigorate the horse
without doing any injury and will pre-
vent him from being injured by drink
ing freely at noOntime. The drink, being
nourishing, rallies the strength and en-
ables the animal to do a great amount
of work without failure. American

The art of Horticulture has never yet
solved the problem of how nature can be
made to produce roses having spots and
speckles But having done her work in
the ordinary way, science may step in and
effect by chemical means what she dis
dams. Procure Il flower nearly blown and
of a rich red color Touch its petals re-
peatedly with glass stirrer that has been
dipped in an ethereal solution of ammonia.
Wherever the stirrer deposits spot of am
mOnia the petal will change to a bright
blue. If n solution i'm water Of sulphurous
acid be employed, white spots will he OBJ
tanned. Should the entire flower he I'M
merscd in the ammoniacal solution, the
phenomenon of blue rose results, while
if plunged into the sulphurous acid "a
waxy white flower is obtained Having
produced as many speckles on the rose as
desired, it is we'll to wash carefully the
flower in pure water in order to remove
the super0uOus chemical If this precau-
ton be taken, it will not fade more rapid
ly than under ordinary circumstances 1t
is, of course, possible to conduct the exper-
iment while the rose is still on the parent
tree.-Brooklyn Citizen.

J. A. Ford tells in The Irrigation
that reservoirs are easily and cheaply
constructed. They are made by throw
ing up embankments of earth TO the
height of from six to eight feet then
the water is pumped in, and cattle or
horses are turned in and driven about
until the bottom and sides are thor
oughly puddled. Sometimes heavy clay
is hauled from some clay bed or bank
and thrown over the bottom and sides
Again, the farmers hitch their horses to
a drag or scrapcr and drive the team
around within until the bottom and
sides are securely packed and made
water tight.

In the Days of rIuzzle Leaders Hunting
Bruin Had Lots OF Danger In 1t.

In the old days of muzzle leaders it took
some courage TO shoot at a bear. but now.
adays, with the magazine gun, there is lit
tie risk-in fact, the hunters danger Is
now very slight, reduced almost to a mini
mum With big winchester it's rs easy
TO kill a bear as it is a hog Repeating
rifles have taken good bit of the romance
out of hunting l know of two instances
of hunters being attacked by bears In
both cases the bear was suddenly run
upon b. NJ Upton of Steamboat was
found dead near a bear wallow. Big bear
tracks about and broken head indicated
that he had surprised a bear wallowing,
and the bear had given Bill slap from
which he never recovered. Ed Buck of
Yampa was trapping on Elk river Going
out one morning to look after his traps he
was sneaking through the willows and ran
on to bear eating beaver which he had
stolen from Ed trap He gave growl,
iris right up and gave Ed slap that
hOored him. Ed lay stunned for mo.
ment, then came to, recovered his rifle and
shot that bear before he got out of sight.
That was in the days Of muzzle leaders.
Eds nose was broken, and he always car
ried the mark of his encounter Ed was
rs resolute an old timer as ever l met.
One of the biggest bears in Central park

it to Rawlins and gave it to saloon
keeper That cub grew bigger and bigger
and was known all over the territory. He
took the freedom of the town without
waiting for II vote and regularly drank his
beer, growing as fond of it as a Dutchman
He would go from one saloon to another
rushing the growler, would stand up be-
fore the bar, get his can filled and drink
the contents with great gusto. One day,
during his travels around town, on the
doorstep of a house he espied a child eat
ing a slice of bread that had been gener-
ously smeared with molasses, IA rich strike
for Bob. He Rugged the squalling young
ster, gobbled up the sweet morsel and did
slick job licking clean the child 8 face

big and saucy that the saloon keeper gave
him to Durant of the Union Pacific rail

HOUSES IN TREE TOPS.
The Indians of Guiana Build Beyond the
Reach of Floods.

Reach of Floods.
Interest in the Guiana country naturally
centers about the most fertile region, that
which commands the mouth of its great
waterway. As you approach the Orinoco
from the gulf of Paria you still see that
picturesque sight to which Humboldt re-
fers in his travels, "innumerable fires in
the tall palm trees, the dwelling places
of the peaceful Guaraunos.
The legend that this strange tribe of In
dians, once the masters of the Orinoco,
live in trees the entire year results from
the great annual rise of the Orinoco. At
Ciudad Bolivar, 300 miles up, this amounts
sometimes in contracted place to 90 feet.
On the broader delta it is always sufficient
to cover islands and low ground. There
fore the inhabitants very wisely build their
houses well above the ground. For this
purpose four tall palm trees are selected,
and the crOsspieces which form the foun-
datiOn for the houses are dashed to the
main support by pieces of ii tough vine in
digcnOus To the delta. Upon these is laid
the flooring, and then the sides and roof
are matched with large palm leaves, to
which the Indians have given the poetic
name of feather of the sun. "
There are many advantages which this
particular palm leaf possesses over others
of the same family, the principal one be-
ingit similarity to asbcstus in the quality
of resisting fire In the location of his
house the GuaraunO takes another wise

carries with it n lesson for the government
