Experiments were conducted on the
value of transplanting onions for smut
prevention at the Connecticut station,
and although the general results are
horticultural rather than theological,
W. 9. Sturgis' summary shows
ID This method insures a clean crop
even upon smutty land (2) Trans
planted onions are less liable to the at
tacks of cutworms than onions sown in
the field. (3) The crop natures earlier
by three or four weeks. "a The crop is
larger by an average of 80 per cent or
more with native varieties, and the
average increase with large foreign va
rieties may exceed 100 per cent. (5)
The individual bulbs are larger and
mature more evenly. 90 The increase
in the size and quality of the crop, the
earlier ripening and the lessened ex-
pense incident to the care of the plants
after transplanting, offset in measure
the cost and labor of raising and trans
planting the seedlings. "a This method
may be applied with certain profit wher-
ever it has been the custom to grow on
ions from sets upon smutty land, or in
small quantities for home use or small
sales.

In this connection it is related that a
little fellow just turned two years old,
whose parents live at the west end of the
city, seems to have in an unusual degree,
a sense of the fitness of things and he is
evidently gentleman born. If a visitor
tips his chair back, the baby will invariably
object and try to pull the fore legs down
to the floor. He will allow no man, not
even his father, to sit down in the
house with a hat on. The other
morning, in the hurry of building a fire,
the father neglected to 60 upstairs for his
coat and sat down to hurried breakfast
in his shirt sleeves. The baby would have
none of it and insistid on his father leaving
the table. Then the father came without
a collar. Still the boy objected and would
not be quiet until his father was properly
dressed for breakfast. A gentleman caller
negligently put his foot on the sofa and
the boy pulled it down with considerable
asperity. If the little chap keeps on he
will become ueritable American Chester

Manurial Value of FeedstufSs.

The manurial value of concentrated
feeding stuffs is quite high, according
to an estimate presented by American
Agriculturist. as follows: The amount
of nitrogen, potash and phosphorio acid
in one ton of ordinary gluten feed
would cost over 81 1 in the form of COM
mercial fertilizers, gluten meal S15,
malt sprouts $13, dried brewers grains
$12, wet ditto SO, wheat bran $12, rye
bran $40, wheat midldings 50. 80, wheat
shorts 81. 80, buckwheat middlings So,
cottonseed meal $24, eottonseed hulls
3d. 3d. linseed meal $40 to $50, while
corn, oat and barley meal or various
combinations of these grains figure from
IS to IS. so per ton in manurial value
and pea meal nearly 81. If all the sol
id and liquid excrement from stock fed
with these articles is carefully saved, it
Is generally estimated that three-fourths
of their manurial value is got back in
the manure

Build Them strong and Katproof- Out
side Jacket and Inside Lining.
A Wisconsin correspondent, writing
to Prairie Farmer, tells how be would
build stave sio He writes: | should
make bottom Of broken stone, gravel
and cement, so as to make 1t ratproof
| would build a foundation wall on
which the bottom of the slaves would
rest to keep them from the ground.
When the silo was finished. | would &C.
ment around the bottom of the slaves SO
as to make the silo alright The slaves
would be by studding, dressed with
a beyel to fit the circle. These slaves
would he dowelcd together with tough
five eighths inch dowel pins, one III
about every four or five feet. The hoops
would be in two parts with lugs for
Tightening them OH each side. When
made this way, it would stand stiff and
strong and would not rock in the wind,
even if it did get dry and the joints
open. But the hoops could be drawn up
so that it would not be open much. The
hoops should be not much more than
two feet apart near the bottom, but
could be four feet apart near the top.
Openings should be cut through at con
venient intervals through which to take
out the ensilage. A circular roof can
be put on by letting the foot of the raft
ers rest Oh the tops of the slaves. A dor
mer window should be made through
which the ensilage is conveyed when
filing the silO.
| have briefly outlined how stave
silo can be made that will do good serv-
ice unless it is in a cold climate, where
the ensilage would freeze badly. To
prevent this there are two ways. One
is to have an outside jacket, and the 9th
er is to have an inside lining. | prefer
the latter. | would nail on horizontal
strips around the inside of the silo once
in two feet These strips must be thin
enough so they will bend to the walls,
and would put on thickness enough to
make them two inches thick. Then
would put ON matched flooring one inch
thick and four inches wide for the in
side lining. This would make two
inch air space between two tight walls,
which would effectually keep out the
frost.
If the silo was built inside the barn,
there would be no need of double walls.
When built the way | have described,
there would not be much swelling of
the slaves, as the ensilage would not
touch them. In time the lining might
rot, but that could be renewed without
a very heavy expense A good coat of
coal tar. applied hot or thinned with
gasoline, would help to preserve it.
A round silo 16 feet in diameter and 30
feet deep, if packed solid full, will hold
enough for 20 head for 200 days and
give each cubic foot day, which
would average from 35 to 40 pounds
and that is about as much as is advisa-
BILE to feed.
