BUNCH Crops at BeevilIe, !" contains
some valusble information which
will interest the wise farmer. The
following is summary of the ex

l. In the yield test Of irrigated
and unirrigated onions 1t was
found that the actual cost of four
lrregatious during the season was
t1l:50 per acre, and the increased
yield from the application Of water
amounted 10 1880 pounds over
that of the unirreya,ed field. The
yield of the irrigated plat was a,
the rate Of 9s,5Oo. pounds Tor 67e
bushels per acre.
The methods employed in plant

who are growing this crop for the

the detection AND control Of that
most serious insect enemy Of the
onion, tbrlps.
2. In a test of nineteen varieties
Of onions, the Red Bermuda proved
the most satisfactory and produc.

8. In the"y,eid test with bunch
beats it was found that the COST of
production aud harvesting amount

return from sales was $675l0.
The crop is recommended for

C0SSACKS OF RUSSIA
4 MILITARY ORDER THAT rs
WIDELY SCATTERED.
They Long Maintained Independence
Of the Iron Rule, But Now Are a
Changed People - Not Such
Soldiers as Formerly.

Cossacls? The word is a synonym for
cold-blooded cruelty, brute strength, I'M
savory police duty. Are they so black as
painted?
Cossacks may be shortly defined as Il
military people inhabiting the steppes
of Russia along the lower Don and about
the Dneiper, and in lesser numbers in
eastern Russia, Caucasia. Siberia and
elsewhere. Which locating would lead
n to infer that Russia was pretty ger-
orally Inhabited by Cossacks. Their ORR
gin is an uncertain matter. but their
nucleus is supposed to have consisted Of
refugees from the ancient limits of Rus
STA, forced by hostile invasion to the
adoption of a military organization or
order, which grew into a more or less
free tribal existence Their position in
Russia has been a peculiar one. at least
until recently they have been locked
upon rather as "allies than as subjects
of the car"
To the refugees that may have formed
the nucleus of the Cossack order were
added, in the course OF time, all sorts and
conditions of men; those fleeing from
religious persecution, fugitives from
cruel masters, criminals. outlaws. de-
s%erters, and also men fond of adventure
for adventures own sake. Though call
ing themselves Russians, they held their
independence of Russian rule. Living in
southern Russia, close to .quarrelsomc
border people. they developed more and
more of a martial spirit.
This people did not submit tamely tc
the rule of absoluteism, their numerous
revolts obtained for them certain priv.
ileges, which of late years. however.
have been much eurtailed. Russia has
found them of great service in protect
ing her frontier line, and in time of &C.
tive warfare they have proved very val
liable in skirmishing operations.
In guarding the frontier, the Cossacks
in their fighting with Turcomans, Cir
cassians and other hostile frontier folk.
had opportunity to call into play feats
of Craftsmanship, half the fighting con
sisting in the work of capturing the en-.
emy's steeds. Cowboy bar excellence
has been the Cossack; he could ride anc
throw a lasso with any of that ilk. Ed.
Millet, who c%ampaigned with the Cos
sack, declared he was very like II
western frontiersman; Independent in
spirit, self-reliant, and full of esourcc
with little of the servility of the ordinary
Slav; and declared further he was not
quite the fire-eater reputed.
But the Cossack is no lamb; he is a
fighter by birth and by trade. I~fordered
to make war on peasants, he makes war
to a finish; with a thofoughness tlIct has
Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-02-21

won for him his hateful reputation. His
ancestors Lived for ages by raiding Gu
weaker ones, and he does likewise; he
steals without a scruple; he drinks
vodka to excess, and yet the Cossack is
religious to a degree; ever observes
grace before eating, sings hymns and
prays devoutly. One of the Cossack's
superstitions generally believed in is
to the effect that n must enter Heaven
with a clean body, and on the eve of bat
tie the Cossack makes a careful toilet.
Very superstitious is this man vowed
to bloodthirstiness, afraid of his own
shadow, always on the lookout for signs
and wonders. He wears an amulet
blessed by the village priest, and if he
lose this his courage forsakes him; with
its charm he can ride boldly into the
face OF danger-unless the danger hap
pen to wear the form of a Japanese sol.
der.
P%oultney Bigelow, writing in 1894.
says that under the scepter of the czar
the Cossacks are losing their best attri.
butes, through administrative stupidity.
cupidity and the various other idities
associated with Russian o~ficialism; and
to-day Mr.. Bigelow must be rather proud
of his prophesy OF ten years back, where
in he remarked: "The next great wal
will probably find the Cossack as in
capable, of meeting the demands upon
him as the Turco and Spahi, who figured
so dramatically in the war of France
against Germany. But though not equal
TO European warfare. with his knout he
still is formidable enough at home;
flashing Russians daring to hold ortho-
o religious meetings, rounding IN
strikers, humbling the Pole.

ROYAL FAMILY CRITICIZED.
Objection to Princess Margarets Paris
Wedding Gown and to Evening Levees.

NSOWn 0nu 10 Evening IIeNeeS.
Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
LONDON May PA leading trade paper
laments the fact that great portion Of
the trousseau OF the Princess Margaret of
Connaught has been purchased in Paris
1t states that she will be the first bride OF
the reigning house to wear any but British
made wedding dress.
The same paper. referring to the evening
courts now being held by the King and
Queen, declares that they are not 80 good
for business as the late Queen Victoria's
afternoon drawing rooms, because in the
latter the dresses OF all who attended were
seen. whereas now the debutantes and
those presenting them are the only ladies'
who pass the throne The majority, there
FORE do not trouble themselves about new
dresses, as they are not in evidence. More
over, the florists, in addition to the costumers,
were benefited by the afternoon functions
Every lady carried a bouquet and the coach
men and footmen wore large ones in their
buttonholes.
The drawing room teas gave another
boom to trade. While the people were
thronging the streets to see those going
to the palace they filled the shops, which
always did brisk business on drawing
room days whereas now there is nothing
to indicate that court is being held. Queen
Victoria also had all her clothes made in
her domain and her daughters scrupu-
lousy followed her example.
In conclusion the paper says: 1T may
be said that in the last reign English ladies'
would not have dared openly to order the
bulk of their toilets in Paris
