The Sole Survivor.

Your true sailor is prosaic animal;

n boat and proceeded to investigate.
Arrived at the bark, he found 1t diff

tangle of broken spars and rigging
which drifted alongside. On the deck
there was not the slightest sign of hui
man occupancy. The boats had gone.

In the forecastle, however, sick in his
bunk, was an English sailor, who told
an almost an incredible tale. In effect
1t was that week previous all hands
were summoned on deck to take in
sail, and so prepare for an approach

for this service. so kept his berth. And
It was we'll he did, for OF all the COM

Onions by the Acre.

Wherever one farmer takes to grow
ing onions and makes 1t successful, his
neighbors are pretty sure to initiate his
example. Oscar Beldcn of North Hat
field in this State has for years grown
onions, and this year he has sixteen
acres. Many Of his neighbors are
planting onions, and there Will this
year be GO acres of this vegetable in the
town. No doubt the experiences which
each grower will gain will enable him
to make n greater success of the onion
crop than would be possible when he
first began its cultivation.-EXc

WATER for Pnsturcd Sheen.

Water for Pnsturcd Sheep.
The idea that sheep in pasture need
no water except what they get from
feeding on grass wet with dew is quite
commonly prevalent among farmers.
In June, when the grass is itself sue
culent, sheep at pasture may need
nothing. But during the midsummer
heats there are many nights when no
dew falls, and when the grass is itself
parched so that there Is little succu-
leuce in 1t. At such times the eXcre-
ment of sheep WIZ be in round, hard
Jumps, just rs 1t Is in winter. When
this condition shows itself. 1t means
that the sheep need more water.

Horses hard ut work in hot weather
should be groomed fully rs carefully as
they are in winter. 1t is not quite so
pleasant n task for the horseman as it
is when the warmth from the animal

pleasurable. But 1t is Of even greater
advantage to the horse to be relieved
of the CRIME and dust which will ac-
cumulate In his hair after a hard days

but it Is also an aid to Digestion max

How to Apply Fertilizers.

Should fertilizer be applied In the
hills or broadcast? 1t may not be n
mistake to apply very little over each
hill as u starter" but it is better to
broadcast. All fertilizer must be dis
solved before it can be utilized, and the
greater the surface over which 1t is
spread the more water it will receive.
The roots Of nearly all plants spread
and grow near the surface, and have rs
great feeding capacity off from the
plants rs near them. To apply fertilizer
in the hills is to concentrate 1t, and
much Of 1t will be unused or lost. The
best results are obtained when 1t Is dis
tributed over the surface and narrowed
in to be carried down by the rains.

equivalent to pruning the roots. This
Is especially the C; se WITH corn, which
sends it's roots In every direction, close
to the surface Of the SOIL Experiments
in cultivating show that when the roots
were cut two inches. four inches and
six inches below the surface the in
crease of crops was greatest when the
cultivation was shallow, the greatest
harm being done by deep cultivation at
the last stages Of growth Of the plants.
The object should be to, simply loosen
the top soil when cultivating corn and
to avoid cutting the roots as much as
possible.
