A FAVORED INDUSTRY.
Onion Culture Has Attracted Many
Farmers This Year.

Farmers This Year.
Owing to the generally successful
onion season last year more than usual
attention is given the subject of 1905
acreage. Cool weather throughout some
of the more northern sections retarded
planting. Yet it is reasonably certain
that the general acreage this year will
prove somewhat larger than in 1904
There may be local exceptions, but
these are more than offset by the
strong disposition in some big CONNER
cial onion producing places to deal
more extensively in this important
crop, says Orange Judd Farmer.
The attitude of Michigan and Wis
consin farmers toward onions is one Of
marked favor This is particularly true
in those sections where onions form an
important commercial crop. In the
Green Bay district of Wisconsin the
crop recently sowed is reported fully
as large as last year. Those growers
who possess rich clay soil have gener-
ally increased the acreage, as onions
on such land are bothered less by mag.
gotS.
In the Grand Rapids district of Mich
igan some report the acreage under
onions as a third larger than last sea-
son. There is believed to be slight re-
ductiOn in Muskegon county, as the en-
largement in the peppermint acreage
is encroaching somewhat on onions In
the important trucking districts near
Chicago the area devoted to onions is
looming up about 10 per cent heavier
than last season.
A correspondent in Wabasha county,
Mimi, says the acreage is double that
of 1904. In some sections of South Da-
kota there is a slight restriction, but
this state is not important from a COM
mercial standpoint. Our correspondent
in Larimer county, Colo, says growers
are going more extensively into onions.
While the acreage will be larger than
last year, 1t will not be much above
normal.
Ohio generally promises a bigger
acreage. New York reports vary some
what. Prices lend encouragement but
disastrous experiences with maggots
seem to have intimidated some. New
England, particularly the Connecticut
river valley, is experiencing quite lit
tie boom in onion culture this season,
the acreage being greatly extended.

Homemnde Kerosene Emulrion.

The amateur can make kerosene
emulsion very easily. Take of hard
soap half a pound and dissolve in one
gallon of boiling water; then add two
gallons Of kerosene and churn thor
oughly for ten minutes. The efficiency
of the preparation depends upon thor
ough mixing. This stock mixture is
diluted four times for scale or up to
twenty times for lice. The stronger di-
luton will have one gallon of kerosene
to six and half of water. Where the
water is very hard use one gallon of
sour milk to two gallons of kerosene

Doesn,t Paw 10 CoddIe A1falfa.


If an alfalfa field is in bad condition
it is usually best to plow up and re
seed. 1t scarcely ever pays, at least
where irrigation is practiced, to coddle
a poor stand of alfalfa. Many growers
recommend disking every spring, even
when the stand is good, and some have
even found it a paying practice to disk
after each cutting. Such disking will
often prevent the encroachment OF
weeds. In the eastern states alfalfa
fields sometimes suffer check in theil
growth, tend to turn yellow and other
wise show a sickly condition. Often.
times this condition is accompanied by
an attack of alfalfa rust or spot dis
case. The best remedy for such a con-
dition is to -row the field The vigorous
growth thus induced may overcome the
diseased condition.

Set the main crop of celery. If the
soil is rich and can be irrigated try set
ting the plants seven inches apart
AS soon as crop of beans is off pull
up the vines and plant sweet corn, late
cabbage or turnips.
Radishes for winter use may be
grown and stored in the same manner
as turnips, according to Professor
Green of Minnesota. The seed is sown
in June or July.
Warfare with weeds should be siren
uous and incessant at this season, as it
means so much for peace in the future.
Set out peppers, eggplants, tomatoes,
late cabbage and cauliflower.
Plant cucumbers for pickles and
beans for the main crop.
Satisfy needs long season. and one
gardener claims that the soil must be
only moderately rich if long, straight
roots are desired.

ALFALFA IN VERMONT.
Great Interest In the Popular West
ern Forage Plant.

Popular interest in the question of
alfalfa culture was never so great in
Vermont as it is today. This is the as
sertion of Messrs. J. l.. Hills and L. r.
Jones of the state experiment station,
and they further affirm that practical
ly no success has been met with this
crop in New England outside of Yer
mont. In Quebec, Ontario and northern
and central New York it has succeeded
at several points.
Out of fifty-six trials at as many
Vermont points 36 per cent may fairly
be said to bave been a success, and 6S
per cent of these were located in the
Champlain valley. Only ten of the
6fty-six alfalfa growers appear to
have sown more than an acre. AS to
the pre-eminence of the Champlain
valley in alfalfa growing the authori-
ties quoted say the men who have sue
ceeded in Addison county are largely
sheep breeders who value the crop so
highly in their special industry that
they are willing to give more attention
to it's culture than are the dairy farm
ers.
The Source of Seed.
Messrs. Jones and Hills consider II
important that one know the source
of the seed and use that from the
northernmost place obtainable and
where the crop was grown without
irrigation. In recent trials in Nebraska
seed was used from five different
states-Arizona, California, Colorado
Kansas and Utah-alongside of home
grown seed. All started equally well
but those from Arizona and Californis
were killed out the first winter, anG
all the others suffered more loss thar
the home grown seed.

Accidentally Killed.

Friday evening Leonard St. Clair
and Harry Coleman, two boys of Oak
Grove aged eleven and fourteen years
respectively, went out in the pasture
to bring home the cows. They took a
shotgun along with them to get an
occasional shot at any rabbits which
they mightrun across. On their return
the gun was placed in a corner and the
following afternoon the boys started to
clean it up for another trip. The gun
had been left loaded and probably with
a cooked trigger for it went off when
Harry Coleman picked it up. The shot
passed under the arm Of a sister, who
happened to reach up just at that
moment, and struck the St. Clair boy
in the throat, killing him instantly. =

CLOSING LAND OFFICES
Reasons Why Wausau Gets the
Plum,

The state, edited by R. J. Castle,
chief clerk in the state land office and
a man who usually knows what he talks
about, soliloquizes thusly on the report
ed consolidation of the U. S. land offices
in Wisconsin,:
after the first of October the
United States land Offices at Eau Claire
and Ashland will be discontinued and
the land records of these offices will be
removed to the government land office
at Wausau. tits matter OF surprise
to many people why Wausau was favor
ed as the place for the government land
office. The body Of land still belonging
to the United States is nearer to Ash
land than to Wausau but Ashland has
not nourished many statesmen of the
Andrew Kruetzer and Walter Alexand-
err school and fer that reason Ashland
must be punished and Wausau reward
ed. This is the situation, and the truth
might as well be plainly stated. Hay

WHERE ARE We At?
Are Supervisors Of Assessments Elect
able by County Boards?

~
able by County Boards?
The new law providing for the elect
ton of county supervisor Of ass ess-
ments, by county boards, has proven
Objectionable in a number of counties
and various plans have been devised for
defeating it's purpose. An effort was
made to have the law repealed at the
last session Of the Legislature, but it
failed and now rev war has broken
out on the measure. AS the salary of
the supervisor Of assessments is fixed
by the County board, this afforded a
vulnerable point Of attack, and in some
instances it has been fixed SO low that
the purpose of the law was defeated.
Clark county, however, has employed
new tactics, action having been com
n1enced to determine the legality OF
the election Of such an officer by the
countE board. The outcome of this
test case will be watched with interest
as, in the event it is successful, it will
affect the legal standing of all the
