Winter Bunch Onions.

From the appearance Of my patches
of White Portugal and other onions,
seed Of which was sown in open ground
last summer and early fall, conclude
that many of the plants from seed
sown Aug. will go to seed early next
season. Those from seed sown in the
latter part of August are net quite so
large as l would wish. Perhaps they
will winter all right and in that case
will make bunch onions tritle later,
but give me a smaller proportion OF
boiling plants. Still do use even the
latter, pulling up the plants for bunch
ing just as soon as the seed stalk
shows. The question of seed is still a
puzzling one to me. Either the seed,
then going into its second year. had
already lost much Of its vitality or the
season is less favorable for germina-
ton. In short, 1t seems hard task

The sight OF big draft horse with
fts head entirely wrapped In rubber
coat attracted the attention of hun
dreds of persons In the neighborhood
Of Twelfth and Market streets few
days ago. Many stopped in wonder,
and not few inquired from the driver
the reason for this unusual proceeding.
He was an obliging young fellow and
was industriously hauling up ashes
from cellar beneath the pavement
and dumping them into the wagon to
which the horse with the coat on its
head and a meek looking gray were
hitched.
"Well, you see" said the driver,
"this is the first day In the city for
that young horse. He is just in from

sounds make him very nervous When

INCREASING FAT IN MILK.
Varying Opinions as TO the EfHcncy
of High Feeding.

i
Increasing the fat in milk is one of
the much disputed questions. Many
| dairymen believe that milk can easily
be made richer In butter fat by high
/ feeding, while our experimenters from
their rather limited experiments have
concluded that the farmers and dairy
men are mistaken and that feed has
| practically no effect on the fat content
Of the milk, says l.. W. Lightly i'm Ma
tional Stockman.
The Cornell experiment station lately
issued a bulletin (No. 222) giving full
The plan OF the experiment was to
take cows that were kept on a farm
on rather poor feed and an insufficient
ration and learn what they would do
under those conditions and then take
them to the station and feed them up
to their capacity of eating and Gigesting
a ration rich in protein, digestibIe and
such as any practical dairyman might
consider very good feeding These
cows were such as are very often kept
on farms, some natives and some with
Jersey or Shorthorn blood
The various tables in the bulletin
show very distinctly that the individ
uality OF the COW Is an important fac
tor. While some COWS show gain Of
about 10 per cent in total butter fat
while under liberal feeding, others
show little or none, yet on the whole
herd Of ten cows the increase in fat
was about @ per cent. AZ tie sumo
time the milk production was Increased
80 per cent. and this increase WIS Sc
cured economically so far as food cost
was concerned.
From what Professor II. H. Wing,
under whose direction this experiment
was conducted, said before the Normal
institute at Cornell | concluded that
his conclusion Is that the farmers aud
dairymen were not entirely wrong
when they believed that liberal feed
ing made richer milk, but at the same
time the Improvement along this line
is limited. More OF those practical
common sense experiments are needed
to fully demonstrate this problem

what the Finger. Tell.

Pointed fingers are said to indicate
q love of luxury, combined In many
cases with tendency to idleness. Here
may be seen the influence of heredlty.
Ancestors of the past In easy clrcum-
stances had no need to work. They
had hard places smoothed for them,
and servants did the laborious tasks.
So their skin remained fine and their
muscles unstretched and their finger
tips In fair shape. They bequeathed
the sign OF ease. rest, affiuence to their
posterity. Tramps of the genius
"Weary Willie" often have this sign Of
pointed fingers. Money did not descend
with the luxurious instinct. Workers
bequeathed square, fiat tips to posteri.

hand show much ability to reason and
