Tho Word dollar"

According to one authority, the word
'dollar' Is a corruption of the German
word 'thaler,' the form in Dutch be-
ing 'daaldcr. All these different forms
We're derived from Joachim's Thai, q
Bohemian town, where the count of
Schlick, y. ID. 1913, coined some ex-
cellent pieces in silver of one ounce in
weight From the name of the town
came Joachim's thalcr, applied to the
above named coins as well as that Of
Schlicken thalcr. Hence, Joachim S
thalcr pieces were first contracted into
JOachim's thai"rs and then into thalcrs
These coins gained such reputation
that they became a pattern, SO that
others Of the same kind, though sade
III other places, took the name, the word
assuming different spelling through the
low countries, reaching Spain as dol
lars, and through its provinces trans
mitted TO the western hemisphere, where
it was applied to coins prior to the
adoption of the federal currency. In
coinage the word dollar is f;vOrite,
being found, under various spellings, in
almost every part Of the globe "

Winter Storing of Onions.

The winter storing of onions is al
ways attended with more or less loss. If
not thoroughly cured when sorted, many
of the bulbs will sprout and others
will decay if they have sustained even
slight bruises in harvesting There will
be more OR less shrinkage and large
percentage of the onions will be lost if
the proper care is not given to ventila-
ton and maintaining the desired tenn
perature. For these and other reasons
most growers prefer to dispose of the
crop as soon as possible and are willing
to accept low prices rather than run the
risk of loss by storage.
It is absolutely essential for success
full winter storing that the bulbs should
be we'll matured, thoroughly cured, not
bruised. and i'll a perfectly dormant
state. Most growers prefer topping the
onions before storing. Sheep shears can
be used to advantage in this work, leav-
ing about an inch Of the onion top ex-
tending above the bulb. The sorting
may also be done by hand or by means
Of a screen, the rods Or Stats of which

Cheese Production.

Henry E. Alvord of the dairy division
of the department of agriculture reports
that nine-tenths Of the cheese produced
in this country is made in the states of
New York, Wisconsin,, Ohio, Illinois,
Vermont, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Mich
igan. These rank as to production in
the order named, and no other state pro-
duces over 8, 900, 900 pounds year. The
last four states named produce 5, 900, 900
to 100000 pounds each, and the 9TH
ers from 100000 for Illinois up to
1874, 900, 900 for New York. The New
York product alone is almost one-half,
and this state and Wisconsin together
make over two-thirds of the total of the
country. There have been a good many
changes in relative production in recent
years, Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania
having decreased their annual cheese
product from one third to one half since
the census of 1880.
