The New Onion Culture.

Col Glazier, hOrticulturist of the
Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment
Station, writes: That too many fail
ures have occurred with our truck
growers in raising onions from seed
will not be disputed by those who have
given some attention to this depart
ment of vegetable gardening. Perhaps
in no other country should this new
method be more seriously considered
than in our territory. First the seeds
must be placed in the ground very
early in order to insure a satisfactory
crop, all will agree. The seed onion
is a very slow grower, will hardly keep
pace with the weeds, thus we find too
often the case that the onion bed is
given over to the weeds. Good onion
ground should be highly fertiliZed, and
the ground deeply plowed the fall be-
fore. The onion seed should be sowed
in hot beds prepared the same as a
he'd for cabbage, or tomato plants, per-
nit the onions to grow to the size Of a
Mcneil or even larger if you please.
Then replow your ground about the
first of May, pillow the weeds under,
YOUR ground lightly eighteen inches
apart for the rows; small child may
drop the plants SO that they may be
set four inches apart in the rows; the
coverer follows closely and presses
about one inch of we'll pulverized soil
firmly about the roots; the main por-
tion of the labor has been performed
when properly set; your onions are
ahead of the weeds, and with but little
work can be kept there. There is no
thinning out to be done, while the set
ting out is but half of the labor of
thinning out There is a saving of
about one-half of the seed, and what
is still better, your onions thus treated
will reach the market nearly one
month earlier than the old method,
thus insuring a larger remuneration
for your labor, besides much labor is
saved in cultivation.

when patience ceases to be a virtue"
with the best arrangements there is
always enough to try the attendant

THE FUTURE OF CUBA.
The Spanlards Intend 10 Depart Without
Friction.

Now that the commission to
settle the details Of the eyacua-
ton Of Cuba has begun its ses.
sions the situation in the island
will take a more definite form.
The Spanish, apparently, intend
to depart without needless fric-
ton, though more will be learn
ed on this point after the instruc-
tions of the Spanish Government
to Its commissioners are made
known. On our side the DISPOSE
ton will be to concede points not
essential to the future freedom
OF Cuba. 1t will be useless for
Spain to attempt to saddle the
so-called Cuban debt upon the
island. Cuba willbegin the world
anew without Spanish burden.
In assuming military control aft

OF course, will irresponsible for
the preservation Of order. This
duty wlllrequire aclearly defined

If the Spanish are disposed to
close up the business of evacua-
tion smoothly we shall then pro-
coed to deal directly with the in
habitants of the island. Their
sentiment on a future govern
ment is unknown. The Spanish
and foreign element, with the
landed population generally, are
said to be in favorof annexation.

as passed by that body on Saturday.

The past twenty-four hours has

Reed, who is against the recognition
of independence, is forming his lines
for the great parliamentary battle in
the House this afternoon. He and
the Republican leaders are prepared
to meet IA dozen contingencies that
may arise in the battle of the paria-
mentarians.
The prevailing sentiment as eX-
pressed this morning is to the effect
that the Senate resolution in its pre-
sent shape, cannot pass the House.
The Senate resolutions, adopted by
vote of 81 to 21, are preceded by a
preamble recounting the abhorrent
conditions in Cuba, eliminating in
the destruction of the battleship
Maine and 26G of her officers and
crew." sets forth
First, That the people of the island
of Cuba are, ana of right ought to he,

government of the United states here

as the true and lawful government OF
that island.
Second, That It is the duty OF the
United states TO demand, and the gov

Madrid, April 1S.-The action of the
United States Senate on Saturday has created
the worst sort of an impression here, and it
is declared that a specific settlement is i'm
possible should President Mckinley indorse
the recognition of the insurgents or the idea
of armed Intervention.
The action of the Senate is likely to
paralyze any possible mediation by the Pope
or the powers in the interests of peace, be-
cause the resolutions exclude all intermediate
solutions like Canadian autonomy, which
Spain would accept.
Spain believes that America wants to rush
into a conflict before the results Of the ar
mistice can be appreciated.
