Begin the cultivation as soon as
the weeds begin to show; do not wait
until they have made good start.
One Of the best implements with
which to begin the cultivation is a
sharp steel toothed rake. Used care
fully this will destroy the weeds and
at the same time fine the surface
Generally the rake may be used
twice before the onion plants will
have made sufficient growth for the
cnltivator to be used to advantage.
Give sufficient cultivation to keep
down the weeds and to keep the soil
in good filth until the crop is made.

Barb Wire Cuts.

The following is said to have been
proved an excellent treatment for
barb-wire CUTS Wash the cut
thoroughly with CASTLE soap, using
tepid water; after washing, spray
the wound well with weak solution
of carbolic acid, and then dust over
it all the fresh, air-slaked lime that
will adhere. This treatment should
be given every day. No wrapping or
covering is needed. The same treat
ment would doubtless be good in
cases where horses get their pasterns
burned or cut with a stake rope.

FOR THE FARMER.


Two items are essential in grow
ing onions. One is rich soil, loamy
enough to be readily worked into
good condition. The other is to plant
early. In regard to planting, the
only safe rule is to have everything
in readiness, that the planting can
be done at the first favorable oppor-
tunity In many cases few days
delay means partial, if not com
plete, failure of the crop There is
little risk of getting the soil too rich.
But the manure or fertilizer used
should be fined and free from weed
seeds. If stable manure is used it
should be we'll rotted aud fined, and
then thoroughly incorporated with
the soil. A sandy loan is better,
because it is easily worked into a
good filth. Having the soil IN good
filth not only secures quicker and
better termination of the seed, but
a more vigorous start to grow, while
1T will be easier to give clean,
thorough cultivation from the start.
Wood ashes make one of the best
fertilizers that can be used with
onions; one of the best ways of APP
plying them is as top dressing
just before or ust after planting.
Onions grow practically on the sur
face, so that in order to be of the
most benefit, the fertilizer should be
very near the surface.
Prepare the soil for planting at
the first opportunity in the Spring.
Take time thoroughly to fine the
soil. Better delay the planting half
a day and put in the time fineing
the soil rather than to plant before
the soil is in good filth.
Mark out the rows straight, one
foot apart. By taking care in this
respect saving in the labor of cul-
tivation can be used to much better
advantage if the plants are growing
in straight rows. Use plenty Of seed
better thin out because the plants
are too thick than to have vacant
places in the rows.

paachalis Reese Club.

The editor of the Telegram had time
and space in last weeks issue for a
column and a half write up" OF the
Reese club Of this city.
To say that an editor is in very small
business parading the names OF our best
and most honOred citizens before the
public in the manner he did, is to put it
very mildly.
1t may be great sport for the editor to
weave such fabrication Of falsehOods as
he did in this article, and he may
chuckle over his production, and it may
meet the approval Of a few OF the lower
element, but when an editor will resort
to such methods for political purposes.
and try to elevate and advance the
interest Of his own party by assailing
good citizens and using his efforts to
create d~issention and hard feelings, that
editor is no ornament to society.
The Reese club has v 200 members,
and Mr.. Carlow was nominated for pres
ident by one OF the men this same Pas
chal would have the public believe was
an enemy. Every member has one object
in view, viz: to advance the interests OF
the republican candidates.
The adage that 'he who laughs last,
laughs best" will prove true in this case.

Three children of Jacob Hoferber, re-

and set the clothing of all three afre.
The eldest is dead, and the other two

no warrant for labor Of any kind sup
porting MI. Holcomb and his ticket, on
general principles. All kinds of labor
is in great demand all over the state. at

HARRINGTON Writes Letter.

N. @. Harrington, Democratic nomi-
nee for congress in the Sixth district, is
also q victim of the habit of letter writ
ing, as witness the following sent by
him to Jran Boyle Of Kearney, chair
man of the Democratic district commit
tee:
KEARNEY, NEB.
Juan Boyle, Esq,
DEAR SIR-The state central committee
Is urging prompt action. We must
accept the inevitable. The future of
Democracy in the Sixth district depends
largely upon the number We can draw
from POpulist sources. There Is only one
more year to wait and fusion will be all
over. There will be but two parties and
the leaders Of the Democratic party now
will be the recognized leaders then. Sub
nit gracefully, even tho We have to
stretch q point to do 50. Find enclosed q
certificate which please sign in the two
places marked before a justice of the
McNcel, who has been absent in Virginia,
have 1t ready for him.
N. ~. 11AlSklNGTON,
This letter is of particular interest
and significance to all Populists of Ne
braska. 1t sets forth the avowed pur.
pose of the Democrats to swallow the
Populists next year. What concessions
are made this year by the Democrats
are expected to bear fruit an hundred
fold next year, when Candidate Bryan
and the s~ilverplated Democracy will
put the Populist party out of sight.
This is the meaning of the adherence of
Bryan to Holcomb in the state conven-
ton, despite the protest of many lead
ing Democrats who objected to support
ing Holcomb. but who are doing so in a
desultory sort of way merely to profit by
it next year, when the Populist party,
Just as Mr.. Harrington writes. is to dis
appear and when leaders of Democracy
now will continue to be leaders after
the swallowing has taken place. Mr..
Harrington's letter, which has just
com to the surface. throws q strong
side light on the working Of Boss Bryan
and his Democratic machine.
