NEwsY STATE NOTES.

Faulkton's business men held pub
lie meeting and organized the Faux.
ton board of trade. Il M. Byrne was
elected president and Fremont Young
secretary. Faulkton needs better hotel
accommodations and a Touring mill

even if the business men have to build
them.
Under the belief that there is in
existance a syndicate having fer its
purpose the contesting Of homestead
entries in the coded portion of the Rose

settlers to great trouble and expense,
the latter are taking steps to form a
protective association, with the object
of discouraging the wholesale contest

the examination prescribed by the Sec

appointed on the endorsement of the
South Dakota delegation.

South Dakota is to have no election

Fifty million feet of timber in the
Black Hills reserve will be sold under
regulations of the bureau of forestry.
The timber is to be disposed of for the
reason that it is worm eaten and if
allowed to stand will become worthless.
Under the law the timber will be sold
within the state. 1t will be cut under
regulations similar to those governing
on the Indian reservations in MINNESOTA.
Purchasers will be required to burn all |
the brush and will be permitted to erect
mills for the purpose of cutting the

Tile draining is too expensive propo-

ONION CULTURE.


We have had several inquiries rela-
tive to the growing of an onion crop
how to prepare the soil, how much seed
to SOW. the probable yield per acre and
price. For some years past we have
grown one acre OF onions each year on
the farm. The average yield has been
about 900 bushels per acre and the
average price received about 40 cents
per bushel, while the average cost to
produce the crop has been about SIS.
We aim to select piece of land which
has had thorough cultivation and been
kept free from weeds the previous
year, as this greatly simplifies the work
Of keeping the onion crop clean. The
soil should be rich enough to produce
at least seventy bushels of corn to the
acre. The field is plowed in the fall.
then disked and narrowed fine In the
spring, all trash being removed with
q hand rake If necessary. The seed at
the rate of about three pounds per
acre should be sowed just as early as
possible In the spring with hand seed
er In rows about fourteen inches apart
The weeder should be run over the field
the knife cultivator which comes with
the seeding attachment-jus as soon
as the onions show above ground, and
this should be repeated from time to
time while the crop is growing, doing
1t at least once a week il ii is a dry
time In order to conserve the moisture.
II the field is clean one hand wedding
will be sufficient, but this must be
thoroughly and carefully done when
the onions are about six inches high.
When the crop Is ripe 1t should be
pulled and thrown into windows and
be allowed to lie there for matter Of
two weeks, when the onions may be
topped and sacked. We have found
the best variety to be the Red Globe.
Even at the price named they are a
profitable crop to grow, and 1t often
happens that they will bring more
money, and, on the other hand, they
may be entirely unstable. but this
does not often happen. One should

There Is one farm animal at least
which bids fair to hold his own In the
matter Of price and profit, and that is
the well bred draft horse. No matter
to how great an extent the automobile
may be utilized for heavy hauling, the
machine can never displace the horse,
for 1t Is only under certain fixed condi-
lions that the machine is available,
while the horse is adaptable to any and
all conditions. There is today no easier
way to make $3.50 on the average farm
than to have pair Of well bred three
year-old draft colts to sell each year.
They cost but little II any more to
