ONION SMUT.
Seeding Onions Grown In Healthy
Soil Are Exempt.

Onion smut, prevalent to consider
able extent, is one of the most destruc-
tive of the smut fungi.
This onion smut, unlike the 9TH
er smuts, propagates itself almost in
definitely in the soil when this once
becomes infested. Whenever a new
crop of onions is grown from seed in
this infested soil the smut attacks the
young Seeding onions in whole or in
part and very considerable loss re-
suits therefrom. If, however, onion

A Good Site-Prcpnring the Soil.
Best Roots and How to Set Them.


Select if possible a site with a south
exposure and slope enough TO give
good natural drainage. Fork or pillow
the ground deep, and thoroughly level
and pulverize. Lay off burrows five
feet apart and plan to set plants three

compost half and half and use the
mixture to fill in about the roots. Sc
cure divided roots from a reliable
grower. Seeding plants have a strong
tendency to degenerate, and the great
er percentage OF seedlings will bring
disappointment.
Plants with one, two or three buds to
the clump of roots are the best. Place
the roots perpendicular, with the crown
one or two inches below the level of
the surface. Fill in about the roots
with the compost and soil. Never put
fresh stable manure next to the roots.
Firm the soil thoroughly, so as to
leave no air spaces. If the soil lacks in
general fertility, give good dressing
of fresh stable manure, either from the
horse or cow stable. Spread over the
entire surface and at once cultivate it
into the soil.
Moisture in liberal supply is demand
ed in the growth of rhubarb The
small toothed cultivator, properly and
regularly used at intervals of six to
eight days, is the best possible con-
server of soil water. Continue it's use

A QUESTION OF QUALITY.
Does It Pay to Raise Dairy Cows 70

The question as to whether it paws to
raise dairy cows to sell is often raised
and discussed. says l.. w. Lightly i'm

on the stock man raises and the sale
he has for his byproducts. Were | to
sell my skimmilk | could get only 81
cents per 100 pounds. | can make con.

no market value, as it is not salable
