Onions. the biennial bulbous-rooted
plant with a fra grant odor. are plen-
tiful, and are of good quality There
is a steady demand for them, and To-
cal dealers are at a loss to know what
becomes of the enormous number of
these species of the genus Album that
are shipped into the interior towns.
Mr.. F. 3. Grantham of the firm of
Grantham Bros said that he believed
that at least 300 sacks of onions were
shipped out of Savannah to various
sections of the state every week. AS
this is not the only point where these
fragrant bulbs are wholesaled it is
safe to say that 500 or 600 sacks are
shipped weekly to the consumers in
Georgia. 1t has not needed the rec
ommendation of physicians to bring 1t
into popular favor. It has forced its
own way with it's smell In foreign
countries the onion forms a very i'm
portant article of food. 1t is very nu-
tritious and easily digested. 1t con-
tains a white acrid volatile oil, hold
ing sulphur in solution, albu
men, uncrystallizable sugar and
mucilage, phosphoric acid, both
free and combined with lime,
acetic acid citrate of lime and lignin.
But despite all of these properties the
average colored citizen finds it most

and steak.
Apples are plentiful just now at 50
to $3.50 per barrel. 1t is believed, how
ever that the large number of bar
rels of this fruit that are being ex-
ported now will have the effect Of
boosting the price.
Oranges are scarce and of poor quail
ity The Florida oranges are drop
pings, and hardly fit to eat. The ia
maica variety is average in quality,
but are very scarce, and are held at
1925 per crate.
Pine apples there are in plenty, and
cheap. Lemons are firm at SO per
crate. Cocoanuts are just coming in
and are small. which probably ac-
counts for the usual price of $3.50 per
sack of 100.
Bananas are scarce and very high.
They are of exceedingly poor quality
now, the recent storms over Florida
and Jamaica doing them much dam
age.
The first Malaga grapes were put on
the local markets last week at $3.50
per keg. Peanuts are firm at SIC per
pound for fancy.

on my own hook" l said. II sold the
machine we brought with US. and 1
have delivered it,
Cash or instalment?" Carter asked,
looking at me in some astonishment.
well, the whole trade isn't exactly
clinched," 1 admitted, but it's the
same thing. She has taken it for
three weeks on trial, and says she'll
probably keep it,"
"Who?"
Mrs. Peter Stott-lives up nearly
opposite your woman"
First Garter sat down and laughed,
then he made some remarks that were
extremely ungentlemanly. 1 didn't
like such talk. and l told him as much.
you blamed fool" he shouted, that
woman has worked every sewing ma
chine agent who has come along
when he has been gullible enough It's
her old trick. She will never buy a
sewing machine, for she doesn't need
one She does her sewing each sea-
son on the machines that the fool
agents leave there on trial. Now you
go right up and take back that ma
chine. She'll claw you down in good
shape, but it will teach you to look
out for the snides after this. You'll
find as a general rule that the really
good customers always put up rough
at the start-off. Now, hustle right up
and get that machine"
l refused to go, but Carter insisted.
l said I'd throw up my job, but Carter
reminded me of some of the items in
my bond. SO there was no help for 1t,

the machine. Carter told me afterward
he could have provided me with half
a dozen tricks that experienced agents
play to get machines away from sus-
picious parties, but he wanted me to
be dressed down in good shape. He
said it was the only way to learn the
sewing machine business. / learned
right there in ten minutes with that
woman more facts of personal ma
ture than some young men find out in
a college course. When L discovered
that 1 was no good in joint debate, L
simply dared fate and picked up the
machine. Did you ever see king
bird tackle a crow, and chase the big
fellow down across the sky? Well
that was it. She buzzed around me-
and cuffed my ears all the way to the
front gate. 1t was extremely anus
ing for the neighbors and for Carter
who stood looking on.

MURDERER CAPTURED.
Fred Mink, Hunted All Day, surrenders
at Pittsfield.

Pittsfield, ILL.,, June 16. - After a
man hunt which lasted all day and was
participated in by scores of determin.
ed men among whom were the most
prominent residents of Pittsfield and
the surrounding country ended last
night with the peaceful surrender of
Fred Mink, the hunted nan who had
killed his stepmother and William
Harris, a neighbor, and had remained
in hiding for several hours. Although
the feeling of relief and Joy over his
capture is great and extends all over
the county there is little talk of lynch
ing him.
The hunt for Mink had been continu-
ed all day and the town was wild with
excitement. Early this morning a re-
ward of $500 was offered for the muir
derer, dead OF alive, and bloodhounds
were sent for. A meeting of several
hundred citizens was held at the court.
house and fifty men volunteered to as
sist the sheriff in catching the fugitive.

desirable food for farm stock. While the
plant may not mature seed this season, vet
1t will yield a forage rich in protein and
fit. 1t can be sowed broadcast or drilled
in rows from two to three feet apart. The
plant has an upright bushy habit which is
much to Its advantage during wet weather.
The stems of the matured plant have a
high per cent of woody fibre but the leaves
are rich in protein and fat.
Millet.
"Millet is not a primary crop in our state
but it is a supplementary crop, to be
grown on Liant where corn has been de-
stroyed or can not be readily grown. 1t is

Millet heads in from forty to sixty
days from seeding. 1t can be sown either
broadcast or drilled; the latter method gives
a more even stand usually and requires less
seed per acre. OF the five leading varieties
generally grown for hay, experiments show
German millet to be the best. If seed for
this variety can not he obtained. either com

Professor Chilcott, of the South Dakota ex-
pertinent station, who has had much to do
in growing and feeding millet, says it
should be cut for hay when a majority of
the heads have distinctly appeared. If al

tough and boards on the heads stiff,
reducing the palatahility of the hay. The
earlier cut hay is a much safer food for all
kinds of stock, although experiments show
that when cut too early it has a laxative
