waating rertiliner on ONION.


Onion growers often use year after
year large quantities OF commercial
fertilizer without knowing how profit
and loss would be affected by smaller
applications. Four years tests at the
Geneva IN. " station concluded in
1901 prove that 500 pounds O! fertili-
yer per acre Will ordinarily give large
profits. but that larger applications
than this must be accompanied by ex.
~ceptienally favorable conditions FOR
growth and high prices in market for
the product TO insure proportionate re-
turns.
The test fields were In the heart OF
the onion section. on the black, peaty.
friable soil which the onion loves. and
the crops were raised by experienced
growers, using approved methods.
Summing up the results Of these
trials, r. II. Hall OF the station says:
Considering the Varying price of the
marketable product. the close margin
Of profit from heavy manuring with
fertilizers ' With fairly good prices
for the crop product and the yIcissi-
tudes of the crop due to the limitations
Of season. the onion grower runs great
risk Of diminished profits when he
uses 1900 and 1000 pounds OF COM
mercial manure per acre"

An Ohio PIan-very convenient II
Caring For Cattle.

The diagram shows the arrangement
OF a new stable and silo built with a
view to convenience In feeding and car
ing for cattle. Of which a correspondent
has the following TO say in the Ohio
Farmer:
The stnnchions. instead OF running
lengthwise of the stable, as is the usu-
al plan, are placed in rows at right an
giles across the stable. but leaving a
space on one side for a walk. On the
side Of the right angles next to the
walk are the stanch!ons and manure
cutters. On the other side are the
managers, feed alleys and shoots for
feeding hay and silage and feed bins.
Under the walk Is a manure vat made
Of matched pine plank, and the cutters
are SO arranged that the can
be pushed along into the vat without
lifting it.
At one end of the vat 1t is 80 arrang.
ed that q wagon can be driven under ii
and loaded by hitching a team to a
scraper made to ut in the vat and draw
the manure to the end where the wag-
on stands under II. when II drops down
into the wagon. BY this arrangement
there Is no lifting Of the manure 10 get
1t into the wagon. as 1t is pushed
along the cutters into the vat and then
scraped out by horse power. The ma
aure vat is covered with trapdoors
made OF plank and In sections so that
they can be lifted up. This space over
the vat makes the alley where the
cows are driven in the stable.
The barn is a three story building,
with the bays for hay over the stable,
SO the hay can all be pitched down
the shoots into the feeding alleys. The
silage can be pitched out of the silo In
to a truck which is run along the feed
ing alleys when feeding the cattle. AS
to economy Of space, with this arrange
ment OF stanchions about thirty-nve
cows can be kept In a stable 30 by 30
feet, while with the former arrange.
ment thirty cows were kept in the sta
bic.
A round or tub silo was built on the
outside OF the barn next to the stable.

MOVES CONTEMPT CASES.

The long-drawn-out Moves contempt
cases have finally, it is hoped, come
to an end and while all concerned do
not seem pleased with the verdict
nevertheless it has ended and should
be dropped out of court from now on.
The findings of Judges Gilbert, Ross
and Morrow were to the effect that
Judge Arthur H. Noyes be fined
$1,000; that c. A. S. Frost be con-
fined in the Alameda county Jail one
year and that District Attorney Wood,
who were in cahoOts with Judge
Noyes and his gold claim jumping
gang, be likewise confined for four
months in the Alameda county jail
Judge Ross, who was one of the associ-
ate judges at the trial, was not pleased
with the decision reached and thought
that the whole law-breaking gang of
them should have been heavily fined
and sentenced to long terms in state
prisons. Perhaps no judge in the
United States ever undertook such
high-handed proceedings as did Judge
Noyes at Nome in order to rob men
out of valuable gold claims for per-
sonal gain. Receivers were appointed
for gold mining companies without
any pretext, cause or reason, and
such receivers generally made their
accountings to Judge Noyes, and the
gold and the accountings all became
a secret of the court. 1t was a most
remarkable state Of affairs, and one
that will be talked about by judges,
juries and lawyers for many years yet
to come.
