A WORD ABOUT ONIONS.
They Are Easily Grown and with
Good Care VIII Yield Fairly
Profitable Crop.

There is a good deal OF complaint
among farmers and gardeners about
being unable to secure a good stand
of onions by planting the seed. Onion
seed deteriorates very rapidly with
age, and only that of the last seasons
crop should be used. The sprouting
seeds and young plants are very easi.
ly killed by drought, and some meth.
Cd of planting must be followed that
will carry the young plants over the
dry weather. A simple and quite ef-
fectve way Of planting is to prepare
good seed bed by plowing the land
in the fall or early winter. Smooth
down the surface with a harrow or
similar tool. Drill the seed in rows
about Is inches apart, placing the
seed about one inch below the sur
face of the soil. Firm the soil well
on the seed by walking on the rows
or some similar method; then cover
lightly with loose soil. This method,
although simple, has never failed to
give a good stand of onions at the
experiment station at Saltwater. As
soon as the plants are three or four
inches high they should be thinned
to three inches apart in the row.
Weeds and grass should never be per-
mitted to grow in the onion bed and
the surface Of the soil should be kept
loose and mellow with the hoe or
hand cultivator. Onions are easily
grown and with good care will yield
good crop in almost all parts of
Oklahoma. - Oklahoma Experiment

WHAT BAD ROADS COST.
Esme Valuable Figures Collected ~
= Corps Of Experts Of the Depart
aent Of Agriculture.

We are now passing through one OF
the two periods Of the year when the
country roads problem forces itself
prominently 70 the front and becomes
a living issue with everyone who has
not paved streets and improved side
walks to pass over. There is no state
in the union in which the question can
be ignored, for there is no state in
which the country roads in the open
ing of spring and the beginning Of win
ter are in reasonably passable eondi-
tion. Agricultural interests every
where are the heaviest sufferers from
the wretched conditions Of the coun-
try roads just how much they have
suffered from this cause they have
never been able to estimate. Had they
had any conception Of the extent Of
their losses, it is probable they would
have exerted themselves long ago to
bring about a radical change and
would have supplied themselves with
good roads irrespective Of the first
cost of the work, which is decidedly
the heaviest portion of it.
What they have failed to do for
themselves in the matter Of estimates
the agricultural department has ac-
eomplished for them. It set a corps
of experts TO ascertain the actual con-
ditions and to estimate the direct
losses suffered by the farming com
munities through the lack of perma'
nent country highways easily passable
at all seasons Of the year and in all
conditions Of the weather. These ex-
perts have estimated that it costs
S946.O0O,O0O a year to haul the farm
products of the United States from
the farms TO points of rail or water
shipment. This is far in excess Of the
freight charges levied by the trans,
portation companies, and the experts
say the amount might be reduced two
thirds if every section ofcountry were
furnished with good roads. The ex.
perts further estimate that the value
of the country's farms and farm prop
erty would be enhanced by Sj,O00,00O
900 by the construction of permanent
highways through every county and
township in the United States.
According TO the estimates of these
experts the average wagon haul from
farm to point Of shipment is from So
20 60 miles, and the cost per wagon
Dad is S1.s9 in the northern and east.
trn states. In the prairie and the
southern states the average haul is SIS
miles and the cost per wagon load is
s2.72. The average cost of hauling
farm products from the farms to the
point of shipment over the entire
United States IS 25 cents per ton per
mile. The railroads charge less than
half cent per mile per ton for haul
ing these products to market, or about
one-fiftieth the amount il costs the
farmers themselves to deliver the
goods TO the railways. These figures
show how extremely shortsighted the
agricultural communities are in per.
mitting their highways to remain as
they are at present, The difference in
the cost of improving the country
roads and Of hauling over them as they
are, If saved, as it might very weU be,
would make them rich in a very few
years.-Chicago Evening Post.

AFAMoUs OLD house.

The house Of Walter Baker 4 Co,
Whosr manufactures Of cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar in the
mouth as household words, was es-
tahlished one hundred and twenty
one years ago (l7s0l on the Nepon-
set River in the old town Of Dorches-
ter, a suburb Of Boston. From the
little wooden mill, "by the rude
bridge that Arehed the food" where
the enterprise was first started, there
has grown up the largest industrial
establishment Of the kind in the
world. 1t might be said that, while
other manufacturers come and 20,
Walter Baker & Co. 60 on forever
What is the secret Of their great
success? It is q very simple one.
They have won and held the conf
dence Of the great and constantly in
ereasing body of consumers by al
ways maintaining the highest stand
ard in the quality Of their cocoa and
chocolate preparations, and selling
them at the lowest price for which
unadulterated articles of good quail
ity can be put upon the market. They
welcomed honest competition; but they
feel justified in denouneing in the
strongest terms the fraudulent meth
DDS by which inferior preparations
are palmed OF on customers who ask
for and suppose they are getting the
genuine articles. The best grocers
refuse TO handle such goods, not alone
for the reason that, in the long run,
II doesn't pay to do it, but because
their sense of fair dealing will not
permit them to aid in the sale Of
goods that defraud their customers
and injure honest manufacturers.

pounds wheR she was in good health.
When she commenced with our family
physician in April, 1898, she weighed
about 130, but kept going down all the
time. She went to Atlanta, Ga, and
took treatment, but it did her no good.
Then She went to Harmony Grove, Ga,
and took treatment from the best
physician there for three months.
She kept going down under his treat
ment, although he was considered the
best physician in the county. She
went down from 1870 pounds to 6S, and
we saw She could not live long. She
was a skeleton. We consulted an old
physician who told her to use Peruna.
She gradually improved and got
stronger. She has gained 3S pounds
since she has taken Peruna, and is
gaining every day, and does her own

"She was well known when she was
so low, and now everybody wants to
know what cured her. She had in

county matter, but II would have ap-
peared still worse to pay IL after the
courts should have decided against It.
The Board decided to take up the
matter at this time by : party vote,
Reigstad and smithson voting no,
When the resolution to pay the orders
came up, Smithson voted with the re-
publ1cans for the adoption of the same.
The peoples organization at it's last
county convention, at which Mr.. Smith
son was nominated, declared against
paying these dump orders until COM
PEELED to do SO by the courts. We
are informed that the beneficiary of
the late action of the county board
publicly thanked Mr.. Smithson for
disregarding the action of his party in
this matter. Well the former might
congratulate himself, not because it
affected the dump orders (tor there
was secure majority in favor of pay
ing them) but because it was the worst
blow the peoples party of Kandiyohi
county has yet sustained. A party
can afford to lose at the polls, when
1t sticks up for principle, but it cannot
afford to become Indifferent to pledges
made In public interests.
