CROP THAT 1AYs WELL
When Properly Cultivated Few
Acres OF Onions win Give Excel
lent Honey Retarns

When a good yield and quantity can
be secured, there are few crops that
give better return than onions. One
advantage with them is that they can
be marketed as soon as matured, or
they can be stored and kept to be
marketed whenever desired.
In growing onions successfully, it Is
essential to have good seed, to sow
early, to have rich soil, prepared in 3
hne filth and to give thorough cultiva-
ton in good season. A failure in any
one of these viii often so affect the
yield or quality of the crop as to deter
mine the question of profit or loss.
1t is an exceptional case to find q
soil that is naturally rich enough to
make a good crop of onions without
the addition of some manure or fer
tilizer; on the other hand, it is an ex-
ception to find soil too rich. The
onion is a gross feeder. 4 very heavy
dressing of coarse, fresh manure could
be given and Incorporated with the
soil with profit, were it not that in
most cases this kind of fertilizer con-
tainS so many weed seeds as greatly to
increase the labor of clean cultivation.
On this account, so far as is possible,
weli-rotted manure should be used,
taking care to thoroughly incorporate
1T with the soil on the surface. Wood
ashes are one of the best fertilizers for
this crop, and if there is not enough of
wel1-rotted stable manure available,
commercial fertilizers can often be
used to a good advantage.
Onions grow SO near the surface that
the manure should be applied anu
worked in the surface, and for that rea-
son top dressing after blowing will
generally be the best plan.
One advantage with onions is that
they may be grown on the same land
for several years without change if
liberal manuring is done, and if clean
cultivation is given the first year this
will be found quite an item.
The very first favorable opportunity
in the spring should be taken advan-
tage of to prepare the ground and SOW
the seed as earliness is an important
item. The soil should be prepared in a
fine filth.
A better termination of the seed and
a more vigorous start to grow viii be
secured while the cultivation can be
commenced earlier and clean cuItiva-
ton be given with less labor if care is
taken to have the soil thoroughly pre-
pared in a good filth before the seed is
sOwn. Mark out the rows ten or twelve
inches apart. If the drill is used it will
mark them out, SOW the seed and cover
all at once. One advantage in using
the drill is that the seed will be dis
tributed in the drill rows more evenly
and be covered at a more uniform
6onfh &c 20 nj -
so as to secure good stand of plants.
1t is better to thin out than to replant.
Give clean cultivation from the start,
keeping the soil in good filth until the
crop is matured.-St. Louis Republic.

-croachments. For this reason English
counsels have been allowed to dom
mate Afghan affairs.
But if Russia should conclude to
march against Herat how will it be
possible to thwart her designs when a
movement Of British troops in that di-
rection now would probably precipi-
tate an attack? Plausible Russia is
still talking practically, as usual, to
hold the general attention as much as
possible away from the moves she is
making, for her conversation is seldom
An accord with her deeds.
Tt is a well-known fact that for years
Russia has coveted Persia, not only
that it is valuable in itself, but because
of the advantages which would accrue
from possessing its frontier.
It is pretty generally believed that
the recent loan of 100000 rubles to
Persia, secured by mortgage on the
customs and a concession to lay rail-
ways over the country, while seem
ing innocent enough, covers scheme
very different from what appears on
the surface The watchfulness of Eng
land has alone prevented Russia from
absorbing Persia long ago, hence the
Afuscovite government has been COM
Rekled to satisfy itself by obtaining
