out of doors seeds should be put in as
early as possible in shallow drills
three to 3h feet apart and covered
with a half-inch of fine moist earth.
They need to be very carefully weeded
at first, but if the ground is clean and
mellow and the rows straight the
wheel hoe will be able to take full
charge of the work early in the sea-
son. 1t has been repeatedly shown
that cheaper, better and earlier
onions can be grown by transplanting
the plants from greenhouses or hot
beds, where the seeds are sown very
early. When the plantlets are as large
as a lead pencil, they are set four
inches apart in rows three feet asund-
er, and cultivation is Immediately be-
gun with the wheel hoe. In growing
from sets the planting is made in
much the same way. Multiplier or po-
tato onions are similarly managed.

An amusing story is told of a man
condemned to death recently in

though his favorite dish, always, he

THE ONION IN FAVOR.
1t IL Having a Boom just Now In Vari-
Gus Sections as a Reliable
Money Crop.

The onion is having a sort of boom
in various sections just now as a good
money crop. Onions, it is hardly nee
essary to state, may be grown from
seeds or sets. Bailey has described up
to date onion culture in brief as fol-
lows:
If seeds are used, they may be sown
in the open ground where the bulbs
are to mature, or they may be sown
in green houses or hotbeds and the
young plantlets transplanted to the
rows in the open ground. In sowing

MUST OFFER NO RESISTANCE.
United States Government Sends In
structions to Captain Rosehill.

Washington, July 25.-The Japanese
government has served formal notice
OF the state department that it claims
possession of Marcos island, toward
which is now heading an American ex-
pedition under Captain Rosehill with
the purpose of exploiting it's guano
deposits. Regarding it as extremely
desirable that no collision occur the
state department has taken measures
to advise Captain ROsehill that he
must offer no resistance if he should
fall in with japanese Warship which
is also speeding for the island.
Rosehill landed on this island about
thirteen years ago. He put up a sign
and deposited bottle setting forth his
claims to the island, erected a flag
pole and hoisted the United States
flag Then he sailed away from the
island, leaving it unoccupied, fact
which may vitiate his title. Of these
facts he informed the state department
but he neglected for many years to
file in the treasury department the
bond required by the guanO island laws.
In fact, this bond was only filed with
in the last year. Meanwhile, finding
a deserted island, some Japanese
landed and began to take away the
guano. There are believed to be two
score of them now on the island and
the Japanese government holds that
their title is good. The Japanese war
ship carried the message from this
government to Rosehill advising him
to offer no resistance and, as it prob
ably will reach Marcos island, distant
only a thousand miles from Yokohama,
before the Rosehill schooner which
sailed from Honolulu, two thousand
miles distant, it is expected there will
be no clash between the schOoner's
passengers and the Japanese coolies
now on the island.
