M @A ITIZENS Of Bulls Ferry Il
~ had the honor Of informing
v q you by yellow posters past
ed on the walls Of your his
toric and picturesque town that l
would open my show in this hall this
evening, and I am before you. Three
years ago, while travelling about the
country with an unparalleled aggrega-
ton of dead and living wonders, which
included an Egyptian mummy made
In Chicago and what-is-it that ate
raw beef before the audience and play
ed poker with me behind the scenes,
became possessed of the idea that /
could do more for humanity by selling
my show and going into the windmill
business. Time has shown me my mis-,
take. Not that every succeeding wind
mill erected In this country does not
tend to make humanity happier and
more content, thereby adding to the
general goodness, but the business has
so many opportunities of skinning Un-
Gle Reuben that conscience compelled
me to abandon 1t. This show business
is on the square. 1t goes when the
wind blows and 1t goes without any
wind at all. You pay for what you get,
and you get what you pay FOR. There
is moth ing to conceal and no extra
chargesI to dispute about when the
show closes. can take your money at
the door and then look you in the eye
from. the platform without feeling that
I have robbed you.
"Do not get the idea that this is
side show or branch menagerie. 1t is
q combination show and lecture. While
1 strive to attract the eye by exhibiting
some curiosity, I also strive to attr;eN
the ear by delivering lecture and
seeking to arouse you to new aims and
ambitions. In my modest way, at 10
cents admission, am doing more for
the moral standard Of America than
any session Of congress. No matter
whether you are stepped In depravity
or have yet to steal your first harvest
apple, my combination cannot fall to
turn your thoughts to higher channels.
sI now call your attention to this
plaster of paris bust of Christopher Co.
lumbus on the one hand and to the
stuffed kangaroo on the other. You
may infer that both are dead, but the
ambitions that swayed them during life
live on and are lanterns to guide your
footsteps I shall not insult this large
and intelligent audience by supposing
that there is one single person within
sound of my voice who has got Chris
topher Columbus and Julius Caesar Bur-
rell mixed up together. Christopher
stands by himself, like brick house
in ten acre lot. You can't mistake
him for any one else, and you can't 60
around the corner and lose him. Like
me, Columbus wasn't satisfied to hang
around the village post Office and chew
tobacco and talk of crops. He had q
feeling within him that he had to soar
and overcome. Obstacle after obstacle
bobbed up to discourage him, and men

inch apart. Nail firmly and clinch the
nails, placing the outside strips flush
with the ends of the crosspieces. as the
first cut shows. Around the edge nail
six inch strip, and the topping bench ts

When ready to begin topping place

empty the onions from. the crates. AS
you pour out each crate rustic the
onions around, and all the dirt and
other small stuff which may have been
gathered up with them will pass
through the Slated bottom. The rus
Ting will brighten up the onions won
derfully. The bench will hold when
heaped up six crates, or nine bushels,
Place one of the crates you have emp
tied at your left, and, sitting erect on
crate, you are ready for operations.
To begin with, you must have sharp
knife, and keep it sharp, as duh one
will surely tear the skin of the onion,
and as soon rs that is done 1t begins
to rot. 1t may seem simple operation
to cut off an onion top. but there is a
right way and wrong one. The wrong
way is to seize the onion and cut the
top off by drawing the knife toward
the body. This cuts the top off on the
opposite side from your body and tears
the onion down the other side. The
right way to top is to hold the onion
firmly in the left hand and with the
knife seize the top an inch from the
bulb and cut up. This makes clean
cut through the top.
Never top onions close to the bulb
unless you want them to begin to grow
at once, and do not top them until you
want to market them, as they keep bet
ter with the tops on. In the old way,
unless spread thin, this rule does not
apply, as the tops draw moisture.
which causes the onions to heat and
mold, so that they rot and spoil. With
the crate system the onions never heat
or mold, not even If they are put in
with the tops entirely green. They
will dry out and come out splendidly
any time before the next summer.
Handle onions as you would eggs at
all times, for q bruise or cut will make
them rot. By this way Of topping a
good spry boy will top six bushels an
hour, and he will not feel half as tired
as in the old way.
There Is large shrinkage in onions
from keeping, not only from rot. but
by shrinkage Of the bulbs themselves.
I think it is quite as much or more
than potatoes.
My crates were made in a box shop
and cost $40 per 100, but I have not

Increasing the Value of Manure.
It will pay well to give more atten-
ton than is done on the average farm
to the preservation Of barnyard ma
nure, first, by guarding it from the
sources Of loss which occur in the ordi-
nary open barnyard, and, second, by
treating it with materials calculated
to reduce the losses from escaping am
monia on the one hand and to increase
its content Of phosphoric acid on the
other. To accomplish this purpose acid
phosphate appears to be material pro-
ducing large and profitable immediate
increase in effectiveness Of the ma
lure, and experiments strongly suggest
the possibility that the finely ground
phosphate rock from which acid phos-
phate Is made may be found an eco
nomical substitute for the latter, by
using 1t as an absorbent In the stables
and thus securing an intimate mixture
with the manure in its fresh condition.
