GROWING TIMBER

Our correspondence shows that 6
great many farmers are awake to the
Importance Of the timber question. A
great many are planning to set trees
on rough lands or spots on their farms

The cleared land was then to a large de-

TRY ONIONS THIS YEAR.

1t is very rare indeed that onions are
not an exceedingly valuable crop, and
we have a few words to say to anyone
who may be thinking Of looking in this
direction for money. Here are the
planks which must go into the onion
growers platform:
Procure good, fresh seed.
Select ground which is not weedy.
Get them in as early as possible.
Drill in straight rows, at equal dis
tances apart.
Use commercial fertilizer to avoid
weed seeds.
Sow at least five pounds per acre for
market onions and 60 pounds for sets.
Never try to grow either late in the
season. There may be time. but condi-
tions are not right after early spring.
There is more money in growing sets
than larger onions. But you must have
suitable place to winter them or have
fall market in view.
Onion sets at 81 per bushel is four
cents per pound. This is big money fol
any green vegetable matter. Milkmen
have to be careful about selling toe
much water. Strawberry and onion
growers may do it with impunity.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

To remove rust from steel put the
article. if possible, in a dish OF kerosene
oil or else wrap the steel in . cloth
saturated with the oil. Leave It q day
Or two. They apply. if the spot Is OBJ
stinate, sale, wet with hot vinegar. or
scour with brickdust. Rinse thoroughly
in hot water and dry with a flannel
cloth. giving a last polish with clean
flannel and a little sweet oil.
Spirits Of turpentine will clean and
polish black marble. For removing
stains from white marble. nothing is
better than a paste made of one-quarter
pound of whiting, one eighth pound Of
soda, and one-eighth pound of laundry
soap melted. Boil the mixture until it
becomes a paste. Before it is quite cold
spread it over the marble and leave it
for twenty four hours. Wash it off
in soft water and dry the marble with
a soft cloth.
Water that has been allowed to boil
and thus lose the gases, when render
it fresh and palatable, should not be
used in making tea and coffee or in
cooking vegetables. When the object
is to extract the juices from the food,
as in the case of soup. soft water should
be employed. To preserve the juices
in the texture hard or sailed water is
best. In cooking. green vegetables that
are to be served without the liquor
enough water should be used to keep
them from burning, otherwise the soIu-
bic nutritive qualities will be wasted.
Vegetables composed largely of starch
and water, potatoes particularly, should
be boiled at a continuous high tempera-
ture. Otherwise they will become wa
ter soaked and of poor flavor.
In making soup slow cooking extracts
the flavor and the water should not be
sailed until near the end of the pro-
cess. In cooking bones and joints, how
ever, a high temperature renders the
gelatine soluble and salt should be used.
As the gelatine is the nutritious part
of the soup, this is important
Every article of food is distinguished
by its individual flavor, and it is said
that the individual taste would be quite
satisfied if the palate were uncorrupted
by condiments.
The newest chaf1ng dishes have por-
celain lining, and it is claimed that
much better results are obtained by
this substitution for the more familiar
metal lining.
Less trouble than a ported plant and
more certain also to withstand the heat
ed, gas laden air of city room is a
bunch of English ivy branches in a
bowl or vase filed with water. A bit
of charcoal will keep the water pure,
needing only occasional renewals. and
the ivy will keep fresh all winter, CIV
ing a most acceptable touch Of green
in the apartment. Sprays of nasturtium
vine similarly treated will not only
keep their color, but will grow and
bloom.

SENATOR MORGAN TALKS WAR.

Washington, D. C.-(Specia1)-Sena-
tor Morgan, who offered a resolution
declaring the abrogation Of the Clayton
Bulwer treatey between the United
States and Great Britain, addressed the
senate for nearly two hours upon his
proposition.
His admonitions to Great Britain were
particularly sharp. He declared that if
Great Britain should endeavor to force
the terms of the treaty the effort would
result in war in which the great en-
pire, which had controlled for scores
of years the commerce of the world,
would be swept from power and her
king would be left with only sover-
eighty over his own little island.
After a brief debate the amendment
to rules of the senate placing a limit
upon debate. offered by Senator Platt
Comm, was referred to the committee
on rules. The debate developed the fact
that no intention exists on the part of
the proponent of the amendment to
urge it's discussion at the present ex-
traordinary session.

CARTER HARRISON is NOMINATED.

Chicago. Especially H.
Harrison was placed in nomination fo1
mayor of Chicago for the third term
by the democratic convention. There
was no opposition to his nomination
either at the primaries or in the con-
vention, and there was no ballot taken,
the nomination being made by accla-
nation amid great cheering. The plat
form as adopted strongly favors the
ultimate municipal ownership of "alI
public utilities" including street rail
ways and lighting plants, and included
a resolution of sympathy for the Beers.
The extension of street railways fran
chises is expected to be the most impor-
tant question in the campaign.
Contests were expected over some of
the other city officials, but little de-
veloped. The ticket nominated is as
follows: Mayor. Carter H. Harrison;
city treasurer. Charles +. Gunther; city
attorney, Andrew J. Ryan; city clerk.

it, and giving to it and to the avoca-
ton of farming a sort of quiet dignity
that will unconsciously mildly exalt ev-

little thing is naming the farm, and
then let its owner procure letter paper
with printed head on it, such as 9TH
er business and professional men have.
to do the family letter writing on. The
card should also be on the envelope.
and if living on rural delivery route
the number of the route should be
printed. a little thing like this will
prove pleasing and possibly profitable
advertisement. 1t will give assurance
that the farmer whose name ii car
ries is progressive, up-to-date and is
proud of his farm and his avocation.
1t will make the delivery of his own
mail more certain and prompt. stranger
correspondence will never be misled by
possibly indistinct writing into mistak-
ing the name of the writer; in short,
there are many advantages in it that
are too self evident to require enumer-
ating.

The NEXT CORN CROP

1t is certain that big acreage o.
corn will be planted this year. Corr
has been profitable crop of late years
whether sold or fed, and the producer
has substantial encouragement to in
crease the production. Every corn
grower who strives to increase his CORE
crop has two ways to do it, but very
often sees only one. He can increase
the yield per acre, or he can put in
more acres. He may do both, but it is
not likely that he will. The farmer
who wants more corn will do well tc
study the first method before he de-
cides on the latter. Good soil. good SEED
above all good working at the right
time, are essentials to a bigger yield
of better corn. Let US ponder whether
we know how to raise corn on our pres
ent acreage before we enlarge it.

ROOSEVELT MAKES HIS BOW.

Washington, D. SPECIAL )-Vice
President Theodore Roosevelt made this
| inaugural speech:
The history of free government is il
arge part the history of those repre-
sentative executive bodies, in which,
rom the earliest times, free govern
ment has found its lOftiest express On.
They must ever hold a peculiar and ex-
allied position in the record which tells
noW the great nations of the world have
endeavored to achieve and preserve or
derby freedom.
No man can render to his fellows
greater service than is rendered by him
who, with fearlessness and honesty,
with sanity and disinterestedness, does
his lifewOrk as member of such a
oody.
Especially is this the case when the
legislature in which the service is rem
dered is a vital part of the government
tai machinery Of one of those world
powers to whose hands, in the course
of ages, is entrusted a leading part in
shaping the destinies of mankind. For
veal or for woe, for good or for evil
this is true of our own mighty nation.
Great privileges and great powers are
ours and heavy are the responsibilities
that go with these privileges and these
powers. Accordingly as we do we'll or
i'll, so shall mankind in the future be
raised or cast down.
We belong to a young nation, already
of giant strength, yet whose present
strength is but a forecast of the power
that is to come. We stand supreme in
a continent, in a hemisphere.
East and west we look across the two
great oceans toward the larger world
life in which, whether we will or not
we must take an eVer-increasing inter
est.
And as, keen-eyed, we gaze into the
coming years, duties, new and old, rise
thick and fast to confront US from
within and without. There is every rea-
son why we should face these duties
with a sober appreciation alike of their
Importance and their difficulty. But
there is also every reason for facing
them with high-hearted resolutions and
eager and confident faith in our capac-
ity to do them right.
A great work lies ready to the hand
of this generation; it should count itseif
happy indeed that to it is given the
privilege of doing such a work. A lead
ing part therein must be taken by this,
the august and powerful legislative
body over which I have been called to
preside. Most deeply do I appreciate
the privilege of my position; for high
indeed is the honor of presiding over
the American senate at the outset of
the twentieth century.

WILD AND TAME HAY.

Here is a crumb Of comfort for the
farmer who has not got into tame
grass" Prairie and timothy hay were
compared in a careful experiment. The
COWS produced more milk but less but
terfat on timothy than on prairie hay.
When prairie hay was fed more dry
matter was required for the production
of milk and less for the production of
butter fat than when timothy was fed.
The general conclusion is that the two
kinds have equal feeding value.

FORCING RHuRARR.

If you have an unused cellar, under
house or born, you can put it to no
better use than that of forcing rhubarb
for early market. Make compost Of fine
well rotted manure, COW dung is best,
and good black loan, some sand. earth
and manure equal parts. Make into
bed two feet wide and as long as space
will permit, or run around walls of Gel
lar. Bed should be twenty inches deep
and well packed. Set in the rhubarb
'eyes' about eight inches deep and
pack earth firmly. Water with luke
warm water. Very little light is neces-
sary. Avoid cold draughts on the beds
This method will put superfine rhubart
on the market at fancy prices four tc
six weeks in advance of out-door-growr
plants, and the meat will be a pretty
whitish pink, tender, juicy and sweet.

FASHION NOTES.

]
Among the novelties in trimming now
in use are the narrow bands of gold
cloth studded with jet nail heads or lit
tie fiat black velvet buttons bands OF
black velvet embroidered in coIors, and
Persian embroidery on white cloth.
Lace dotted with gold or jet beads and
embroidered with gold thread is also
very popular.
Foulard silk gowns are trimmed on
the bodice with broad bands OF lace to
simulate a jacket effect, a guimpe of
white or some thin material adding to
the effect. The same material appears
in the sleeves to simulate undersleeves,
with bands of the material at the
wrists.
Everything in jewelry is now of ''L'
Art Nouveau" type. Flowers, birds,
heads, animals, reptiles and fish appear
in belt closps, velvet "dog collar orna-
ments and necklaces. An extremely
Oriental novelty, called a grogerette,
has come to the front in Paris, and is
made of enameIled gold and jewels. It
is worn across the decol1ete bodice, ex-
tends from arm to arm, and is deeper
in the middle than elsewhere. In de-
sign it strikingly resembles the orna-
ments seen in pictures Of Cleopatra and
Roman women of her time.
Swiss muslins in great variety are
displayed in the shops, some with very
artistic designs in large flowers, others
embroidered with white, black or same
color as garment, and without limit as
to patterns. Challies in Persian de-
signs and colorings with satin stripes
are brought out again In tempting ar
ray, and then there is a new muslin,
rather wiry in texture, which shows
verying tints in shaded stripes.

'Springtown on the Pike" by John

startling than might be coaXed from
the memory of almost any veteran viii

is a dog, a silver Yorkshire terrier, blue
of blood and delicately reared, although
he had had his sensibilities disturbed

canine virtues, his affection for his

Self-sacrifice with which he saved her

stealing of the dog, the possible peril Of
his failing a victim to experimental
