fame the skin as to greatly injure the
sale. Leave the head and upper por-
ton Of the neck unpicked and the legs
aud feet intact. Sometimes the feathers
are left en- the first joint of the wing
and on the tail. Never SINCE ducks
and geese, as it leaves the skin oily and
uninviting. Unless your birds look
clean and attractive, don't ship either
ducks or geese to market If poorly
prepared, they are more than likely not
to bring transportation charges.

TO grow onions from seed the prac
tice now is to sow the seed in hotbeds
or cold frames in winter, in order to get
sets, which saves the cost of the sets.
Maggots do not injure the onions grown
from sets as seriously as they do those
froom seed. A fly deposits eggs on the
sides of the young shoots the maggots
from the eggs going down into the bulbs
and destroying them. When sets are used
they grow rapidly and get ahead of the
maggots. Seed can be sown almost any
time, the sets to be trausplanted in the
spring After the seeds have started
the young onions should not be kept too
warm, as it is not necessary for the sets
to be Of large size

In speaking of the Cisneros
escape and the possibilities OF
Spain yanking her back, a
writer to the New York Jour
nal says: "there are several
Americans with blood in their
veins who would oppose such
move on the part Ut the
government or anyone else
There goes poor old claw n
order" again, poor thing.
What a pity there are not
"Americans with blood in
their veins" who would oppose
the forcing of several hundred
thousand girls into shame and
death every year to satisfy the
greed of our industrial Wey-
lers. There would be more
hope for humanity in that
than the saving of hundred
Evangelinas.

It is reported that at the re-
cent reform convention in Chi
cago one of the delegates, while
discussing the Hazleton shoot
ing affair, became excited, and
called upon labor to arm itself
with swords, guns, etc. This
is all bosh; that does not set
tie the question at all. Christ
said 1900 years ago, "For all
that taketh up the sword shall
perish with the sword" There
is no argument in war. War
settles nothing in contest; it
only tells who is the stronger.
The way to settle this indus
trial question justly and right
is for labor to arm itself with
railroads, banks, telegraph
lines, coal mines and all other
natural monopolies. Then
there will be no need of blood
shedding and the use of the
Pinkertons, and the sword will
