FACTS ABOUT ONIONS.
They Clear the Blood of the Poisons
Which Produce Rheumatism
and Muddy Compilations.

There is no more wholesome vegeta.

bles. They clear the blood of those
poisons which produce rheuma tism and
muddy compilations and those nations
that eat of onions with the greatest
freedom are the ones most free from ills
of this kind.
Onions when grown from seed should
be planted within few days in order
to have time to mature full crop. but
where sets are used they may be put
out at any time while the sets are in
the market.
The rows should be Is inches apart
and the onions three inches in the
rows. The land cannot be made too rich
nor too fine before planting. Put in
fine manure and ashes, if you have
them, work the soil over and over until
1T is as fine as dust, and sow the seed
or put in the sets.
The cultivation should never be deep.
the soil should not be disturbed below
one inch from the surface at any time
during the season. The onion throws
out its roots near the surface, and as
they are not very long the soil should
be rich and the cultivation shallow.
Never ridge the soil up to the rows.
The ideal onion bed is one where the
bulbs grow above the ground for more
than half their size. =.
1t is a Common remark that onions
agree with but few people. Anyone
who eats them regularly will soon find
any trouble of this kind gone as well
as other and more serious ones very
often.
Those who do not eat them because
of the odor they leave on the breath are
more nice than wise.-Farmers' Voice.

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
Great Hindrance to Our Export
Trade In Fruits.

Austria has legislated against Amer
fcan fruit because she objects to the i'm
migration into her territory of the As
pidiotus perniciosus. If you don't rec
ognize the name, be informed that it is
the chronological title for the San Jose
scale, which in turn is the appellation
of minute tree louise that is particular
ly destructive to orchards. On account
of fresh fruits, plants and fruit refuse
being the favorite vehicle of travel for
the San Jose scale, an Austrian decree
excludes all American fruit shipments
that on examination show traces of the
insect.
This little speck of scale, no larger
than the period at the end of this SEN
tence, is living, moving propagating
insect, with complicated organism, by
means of which he works great destruc-
ton to fruit trees, roses, currants and
all similar growths.
To the casual observer, the Aspidiotus
perniciosus is very insignificant, and
might and does pass for simple point
of discoloration on the tempting fruit
you hold in your hand, ready to enjoy,
at the expense of his life, for he cannot
survive bath of gastric juice. Exam

ST. THOMAS, Danish West Indies,
June 14-Philip C. Hanna, who was
United States consul at Porto Rico un-

recommended the merchants to accept
Porto Rican silver at its intrinsic

of the American gold basis This

scope, and you will see most formid-
able appearing six-legged insect. If he
has wings he is male scale, and if with
out wings female.
This scale is a more important animal
than many imagine, as is shown by the
European prejudice against him. He
holds very high place in chronological
society.
Prof. L. o. Howard, entomologist OF
the United States department of agri-
culture, said, in speaking of him:
''Never in the history of economic
entomology in the United States has a
single species of insect excited so much
interest as has the San Jose SCALE"
This bane of orchards is native of
Mexico and carries a Spanish name.
When the entomologists classified him
niciosus they described him well, for he
is most pernicious. He has entered into
the United States, travelled over its en-
tire extent where fruit trees grow, and
has made his entry into Europe.
''The scale is the most prolific insect
in the world" said Prof. w. Benten-
muller, entomologist at the American
museum of natural history, when
asked about the little creature "He fol-
lows every line of travel where fruit
goes, soon gains a lodgment, and begins
his destructive work on the trees. He
takes the life out of whatever he lives
on. He draws the juices from the trees,
and the result is that their fruits shrink
and finally they die.
HE is extremely difficult to get rid of,
for besides being very prolific he is
tenacious of life. If he once gains
Judgement incessant work is necessary
to keep him from spreading with most
disastrous results. Here is a branch
where he has been working. You can
see how he has destroyed the bark by
sapping its life away. No tree can with
stand such treatment"
The female scale does not lay eggs,
but is viviparous, and her young are
fixed on the bark of the tree they in
habit, and are at home in less than a
day. Then they grow and wax strong,
and in a little more than a month are
parents themselves. This sort of thing
continues all summer and far into the
fall, and as the first progenitor and sue
ceeding generations are living all of this
time, the result is easily imagined,
What is the antidote? Many have
been suggested and recommended, but
with any it is constant battle to make
Roadway against the pests. There is a
southern fungas called by the botanical
name of Sphaenostilbe coccophila,
which is said to be death to them and
not injurious to the tree. It produces
a disease from which the scales die.
acid gas as fumigator is
said to kill them, and kerosene oil used
as a wash is recommended as being
equally fatal. Then scalding hot water
is guaranteed to be sovereign remedy.
Any Of these things is well enough if
you reach all of the insects, but if any
escape they will soon infest large or
chard.-N. Y. Herald.
