An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.,, illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa- tive principles of plants known to be incidentally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and levers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub stance, and it's acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative.
 In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by method known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. only. In order to get its beneficial effects and to avoid limitations, please remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of every package. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP co.

the surface of the inner leaves consld-
erably folded. The heads are to II
inches high, rounded at the ends, firm
and weigh from II to "a ounces each.
In quality this variety is hardly sur
passed by any kind of lettuce. 1t Is
customary to tie the leaves together
when the heads are forming, although
when the plants are well grown this Is
not always necessary.
Other varieties closely resembling the
above and which appear to be hardly
distinct from it are the Trianon Cos
and the Paris Self Folding Cos. The
White Heart and Dwarf White Heart,
If distinct varieties, differ but little
from the Paris White Cos and are in
ferior to 1t.
The Paris Green Cos Is a little deeper
green than the Paris White and the
plant not quite so large, but natures q
few days earlier.
Balloon Cos has leafy plants and the
heads not very firm even when tied.
Ground Cos is a dwarf variety, inter
mediate between Paris White and AS
paragus Cos.
Asparagus Cos has little value as q
garden esculent, although some people
like the heshy midribs, which are
tender, juicy and peculiarly pleasing
to the taste II gathered just before the
blossom stalks show In the center of

ONION HARVEST.
When to Pull Them-How to Build
pile and VentiIate 1t.


Pile and Ventilate 1t.
The thorough farmer has no weeds In
his onions when harvest time comes.
A clean field adds greatly to the pleas
ure and economy of harvesting the
crop. White onions should be pulled
as soon as fungous spots begin to show
on the outer leaves. Pull three rows at
a time and lay together straight, with
the tops all one way. Let them lie "A
hours, If good weather, before piling.
Two forms Of piles are used here, the
small round pie and the long pile.
For the small pile make square bot
tom of barrel slaves or boards nailed
to cleats. 1t will be the square of the
length of barrel stave. Pile three
windows or nine onion rows into one
row of piles. Grasp large handful Of
onions by the tops and set them on the
barrel stave platform with tops out
side and so on around, leaving a six
inch airshaft and drawing in near the
top. Keep the onions In and tops out.
Bring the tops together and point up
In a conical or old fashioned beehive
shape. Some weeds or a fertilizer sack
held on with stones finishes the pile.
Such a pile will cut out from one to
two bushels.
The long pile is made by mailing four
or FIVE four inch fence Stats upon cross
cleats. On these the onions are piled,
with bulbs IN and tops out, drawn in
at the top, making pile two and half
feet high. One of our neighbors goes
further than this and puts Stat rack
through the middle, so that the air can
have free circulation endwise through
the pile. Another plan where one has
barn room enough Is to cart in in bar
rels the day after pulling and leave
the onions In barrel dump piles In rows
on the floor. These rows of piles give
an opportunity for the circulation Of
air between. After a few days these
piles are turned over into new piles or
ridges.
Red and yellow onions require less
care than the whites and some grow
ers pull them into II row windows
and let them lie there for month, rak-
ing them over for day or two. If good
weather, before carting. But a bright
er onion can be made by piling into
small piles preventing sunburn and
weathering. Thus advises Rural New
Yorker correspondent.

Cold Curing Take. the Cheese.

Experiments In cheese curing which
have been conducted for two years at
the Geneva IN. W experiment station
have results Of the highest Importance
from the commercial standpoint
Cheeses have been cured at tempera-
lures varying from 30 degrees F. to SO
degrees f., the higher temperatures
representing the common factory con-
dltions.
OF the cheeses made In 1899 those
cured at 60 degrees f. and below
scored on the average almost five
points higher on flavor and % points
higher on texture than those cured at
65 degrees F. and above. In 1900 the
average difference In favor of the
lower temperature was 81 points on
flavor and 81 points on texture.
This Is a matter well worth the at
tention of all cheese factory managers
because these differences In commercial
quality are sufficient to cause Inn
portant differences in the selling price

The writer who sends the sketch to
Country Gentleman calls attention to
the deslrability of culture that will pro-
duce quality" and successfully COM
bine 1t with quantity" to which lat
ter much attention has already been
devoted.
These potatoes were grown on upland
clay, hard and tenacious, better adapt
ed to marble making than to potato
growing. With blowing and thorough
pulverization with roller, disk, spring
tooth harrow and plank drag, the soil
was perfectly fined and mellowed to
the depth of FIVE or six inches, except
the check or No. ? plat, which was
given only the ordinary preparation of
the average farmer.
The seed cut to two eyes was planted
with an application of high grade COM
plete potato manure on both plats. In
a few days the weeder was used on
plat No. 1, followed by three harrow
ings at intervals. After that nitrate OF
soda was applied, followed by two
civilizations on each of the two sue
ceeding weeks and another application
of nitrate of soda the following week.
Bordeaux mixture was used, further
cultivation given, and third applica-
ton of nitrate was given Just as the
vines came into bloom.
Plat No. was cultivated four times,
had one application of paris green, but
no bordeaux or nitrate.

Shallow Cultivation For Corn.

We do not believe In deep cultivation
for corn after 1t has grown more than
three or four inches high. BY that
time 1t has begun TO seed its roots out;
hence to work the soil deep after this
has begun is to break those roots and
to check the growth. There may be q
period in the growth of plant or tree
when root pruning is beneficial, but
so little Is known about 1t that we do
not care to experiment with 1t In a
haphazard way. But in year like the
present deep cultivation is likely to
break more corn roots than In dry
and warmer season. The corn root needs
moisture. but not too much. and 1t de-
lights In the heat of the sun. 1t Is
thus likely to run much nearer the sur
face than 1t would have done II we
kad been favored with more warm days
and less rain. Working the soil as
deep as the manure used will make it
fertile before planting the seed and as
thoroughly as possible after the corn
begins to grow. but not more than
three inches deep between the rows,
and In season like this we would pre-
fer not to go more than two inches
deep. says American Cultivator.

fields are rarely free from 1t during
late summer and fall.
The pickle worm feeds on most vari-
cites of cucurbits, but 1t has decided
preference for the squash; therefore
trap plants of summer squash are used
as a protection, and as the trap crop
must be kept growing as long as pro-
lection Is necessary seed is planted ev-
cry two weeks or so.
The Georgia station in their advising
In regard to this worm says:
AS with most other insects, clean cul-
ture will here be Of value. Collect and
burn the old cucurbit vines. Trash In
fence corners should be carefully raked

THE PICKLE WORM.

Summer squash n Good Trap Crop.
Clean Culture n Preventive.
The pickle worm Is destructive main
ly to the fruit of the cantaloupe. squash
and cucumber by eating cavities or
channels In the rind or by boring quite
to the interior. The first crop Of Gu
curbits, as a rule, escapes its ravages,
but late cucurbits are usually badly In

In the north the pickle worm may be
injurious only during occasional years,
but in the south. particularly the Caro-
