They should b. sufficiently mature, 90 that when they are larger they will shrink quite little. The onions are pulled by hand. As rule S cents per bushel is paid for pulling the onions, twisting the tops and delivering them to the screener Some gardeners pay as high as cents.
 After the sets are pulled and the tops twisted off they are screened to get rid of the dirt and coarser rubbish. Then they are placed in crates 3 by 3l3 or 4 feet and i inches deep, stacked up in the fields and covered to keep the rains of Tn many cases the sets are allowed 10 remain in the field for two or three months until they are thor oughly dried out Then they are taken 10 the flaming mill. where they are cleaned and sorted.

When to Cat Corn For Fodder.

Some years ago Professor Hunt of Pennsylvania made three cuttings of corn for fodder. The first was Sept. l and 2 when leaves and husks were green and the kernel was mostly in the roasting ear stage. The second cutting was made Sept. Q, when few of the lower leaves were dead, but the husks were still green. Tue kernels on about three fourths of the ears were dented. On some ears they were quite hard and on others still Unglazed. The third cutting was made Oct and s, when two-thirds of the leaves were dead and the kernels mostly hard
 The fodder was then fed to milk cows. The results of this investigation show that the most and best food was secured when the fodder was cut Sept. 9. The yield of fodder was greatest when the corn was cut after being well ripened. Fodder allowed to remain Tn the field ten to fifteen weeks after cut ing lost 20 per cent in value.

mULCHING TRAW8ERRlES.
lis Purposes Different Materials Used-when to Apply the Mulch.

Covering the surface Of the soil with dead or decaying vegetable matter s the meaning Of the term mulching as here used. Mulching in strawberry culture serves different purposes, de. pending upon the locality in which the plants are grown. A mulch acts as a protection from cold. prevents freez- ing and thawing and the consequent lifting Of the plants c'heaving out'l: IL retards growth in cold regions by shading the crowns and maintaining low soil temperature longer than in soil not muIched; II acts as conserveF of moisture. dIscoura ges weed growth by smothering the young seeding. and finally protects the fruit from contact with the soil.
 The materials which can be used in mulching are various. but their value depends largely upon their freedom from weed seeds and their fitness to protect the plants without smother ing them. Whole or cut straw free from grains. strawy manure from the horse stable and pine straw from the forest are among the more common mulching materials h certain sec. tions marsh hay. either from fresh or salt water marshes. is q common and very satisfactory mulching material.
 Al the north, where the soil Is likely to freeze and thaw several times in the course of the winter. it is the prac- tice to put on the mulch as soon as the ground is sufficiently frozen to allow driving upon it with a loaded cart or wagon Where the freezing Of the soil is only superficial or only temporary, if at all. the mulch serves the purpose of protection from wind more than from frost, and in such sections the mulch is put on as soon IS active growth ceases. usually early in De cember. and is allowed to remain until after the crop is harvested.
 Some growers remove the mulch ear ly and give the plants thorough culti- vation before the fruits are half grown. Then If IL seems desirable to protect the fruits from the earth the mulch Is replaced for this purpose.
 Tn other localities where heavy snows are of annual occurrence and where they remain throughout the winter. thus affording protection from repeat ed freezing and thawing as well as preventing deep freezing of the soil. mulching is not generally practiced. If practiced at all a light mulch only can be used, as a heavy covering is likely to cause loss by smothering the plants
