The balance of the farm is devoted to

4 Freak Tree.

Probably one of the most remarkable
curiosities In the world IL the twin tree
growing In the province of Loire, south
ern France. This marvellous freak Of
nature consists of two healthy trees
some twenty feet high, with brilliant
foliage. the top one actually growing
upon the lower.
A cavity was formed In the upper
trunk of the bottom tree. which was
filed with decaying bark and the ac-
cumulated dust and debris of years
This became a sort of bed, from which
sprang the roots and in time produced
the upper tree. Contrary to all the
laws of horticulture. the life Of the tree
has not been injured In the least by its
parasite companion on top.
The top tree Is lime. and the peas
ants In the neighb0rhood make occa-
sional pilgrimages to this tree. as they
make u sort of ten from the buds Of the
lime. which, they say, ON account Of its
peculiar growth and situation, has
mysterious and beneficial powers II Inn
bibed.
The lime is firmly rooted In the lower
tree. having withstood the ravages OF
the wind for years. and seems to be
nourished as well as II it were growing
In the natural soil Of tho earth.

Onion Lore.

No more red onions for me. Nobody
seems to want them, and they are a
drug in the market, while the demand
is brisk for yellow onions. l shall plant
no more pink Prizetakers. Yellow ones
are good enough for me.
The imported Spanish onion is quite
subject to the attacks of black rot fun
gus, and large proportion of the bulbs
brought to this country are spoiled for
use by it. The Gibraltar onion has the
same weakness. Evidently 1t Is of the
same blood. The only thing we can do
is to sell and use these large onions as
soon as possible after harvesting.
A reader asks for some hints on how
to grow onions. It's a big subject, too
big to give many details. Try the new
onion culture. Get little seed of Prize
taker or Gibraltar and sow as early as
possible In a box in the house or in a
hotbed outdoors, making rows one and
half or two inches apart and sowing
the seed rather thickly, say at the rate
of one ounce to twelve square feet of
bed. Push the growth all you dare to,
and cut off one-third of the tops when
top heavy. Then plant out in good soil
in early spring, with three or four inch
es space between each two plants In
the rows and the rows fourteen or fif-
teen inches apart. If this is followed,
you will be liable to grow very large,
fine bulbs-T. Greiner in Farm and
Fireside.

1t is a matter of great Importance to
know how many hens can be kept in
one pen and at profit. There is quite
a general opinion that hens which are
allowed to roam at will or have spa
cious yards do best in fiocks of forty to
forty-five and on being confined to win
ter quarters should have about ten
square feet for each hen. From actual
tests this has proved about right. They
may be confined closer if they have
scratching shed where they can run in
bright weather. This may be made
open to the south and annexed to the
henhouse, and it would be better If
such shed or apartment were closed,
with plenty of glass ON the south side.
This apartment need not be as warm
as the regular house. Mine is of plain
boards put ON up and down and cracks
battened. 1t has two large windows
with a door, which can be left open
on fine winter days so the hens can en-
joy a good warm sun bath. The win
dows should be arranged with curtains
to close cold nights. Most of the feed
ing is done in the scratching pens in
litter of chaff or straw.-Cor. Ameri-
can Agriculturist.

Killed By a Train.

The following, clipped from the
Adair News, relates to Charley
Buckner who worked in this office
for short time previous to his
ira Gic death.
Mrs. S. Y. Buckner received a tel
egran Friday morning from Gene
va, Nebraska, stating that her son,
Charley, had been run over by the
train and killed. Says the Green
field Transcript:
The deceased was for several
months employed by the Democrat
printing office in this city as job
| printer and also worked in the OBJ
server office at Fontanelle for a
time. He went from here to Ne
| braska looking for work.
We clip the following account of
the tragedy from the Geneva (Neb)
Gazette: c. w. Buckner, a printer,
who had been working at the Signal
office for the past two weeks, was
killed in the Elkhorn yards last
night while attempting to board
the south bound freight. He came
out from behind the coal sheds as
the train was pulling from the
station and attempted to swing onto
box car but missed his footing
and was thrown under the wheels.
Both limbs and body were horribly
mangied. DR.. Woods was called
and the man lived about thirty
minutes after he arrived. He had
been drinking considerably all
week. After he left the Signal office
he came to the Gazette office and
tried to feed press but was com
PEELED to give it up. He left the
office with the promise that he
could have work when he sobered
up. A few minutes before four
o'clock he came to the shop again
and said he had decided to leave
town.
The body was taken to the under.
taking rooms of e. w. Krubesby
He had some letters on his person
and it is said he has mother and
sister in Iowa. An inquest will be
held today upon the return of the
crew which was running the freight

Painful Accident.

Last Monday afternoon as Mrs.
Lizzie Martin, substitute rural car
rier on route No. was making her
return trip, when crossing culvert
east of the Center school house in
Audubon township, one of the
horses became frightened at an
opening in the culvert made by a
broken board and crowded the
other horse off, and into the deep
channel which the culvert spanned
and commenced to rear and plunge.
The side doors of the rural wagon
being open, Mrs. Martin sprang out
and selling the lines endeavored to
prevent the other animal from
plunging off and over turning the
vehicle. In the struggle the fore
arm struck the door frame, midway
between her wrist and elbow but in
the excitement she took no heed as
to the extent of her injury. A near
by resident came to her aid and by
cutting the trace and line the horses
We're soon freed and again hitched
up and she came on as far as John
Martins residence on Troublesome
when her arm became so painful
that he drove her home where she
delivered her mail, made her re-
port and then calling on DIR. Riley
soon found that the ligament hold
ing the radius and ulna or lower
arm bones to the humerus or upper
bone of the arm was broken besides
she fears the bones are fractured
where they came in contact with
the door frame of the vehicle. She
informs us the road master in
charge has been repeatedly warned
to repair the break in the culvert
but that no attention has been paid
to the notice served. Mr.. Martin is
placed in a bad plight now as he is
in the midst of his haying unless
he can secure help at once.

Crop Bulletin.
For week ending July 9th

Des Moines, Iowa
In the larger part of the state
ideal weather conditions prevailed
for harvesting hay and grain, and
fine progress has been made dur
ing the week. The greater part of
very heavy hay crop has been Sc
cured and most of it without dam
age by rainfall. In the southern
districts the harvest is practically
completed, and threshing is in pro-
gress. In the northern districts the
work is well advanced, with vary
ing reports as to the bulk and quail
ity of the small grain crops. The
corn crop has made substantial
gains in all districts, though in
many localities in the southern and
eastern counties copious showers
would be beneficial, as the more adj
vanced portion has reached the ear
ing stage.
On the afternoon of the Goth ser.
les of very heavy hailstorms swept
across the state on direct line from
Lyon and Osceola to Taylor and
Ringgold counties. causing great
obstruction to crops in their path
