THE ONION PATCH.

Experience with onion raising COW
ering several years leads to the belief
that the most economical as well as
the most satisfactory preparation Of
land for the crop consists in 4 summer
following of the piece Of land to be
used the season before one wishes to
raise the onion crop This should con-
sist of successive plowings and disking,
which will result in bringing to the
surface, terminating and killing just
as much Of the weed seed in the soil
as possible. The decrease in the cost
Of wedding coupled with the satisfac-
ton of having the crop in clean con-
dition will pay for the rental Of the
land three times over. A fine clover
meadow which was remarkably free
from weeds last season and the second
crop on which was plowed under last
September now shows no end Of pigeon
grass, which must have lain dormant
through last year, the presence Of
which will very largely increase the
cost of wedding. If the piece of land
selected for the onion patch is not
known to be reasonably free from
weed seeds the plan of summer fallow-
Ing will be found by far the most sat
isfactory.

TEE poY IN VACATION.

The boy is much the same PROPOSE
ton whether he lives in town or coun-
try-eager, restless, inquisitive, anX-
ious to be at something, as rule tired
of books, and rightly so at the close of
the school year, and you have him on
your hands this summer What to do
with him and how to keep him en-
ployed so as to have him somewhat
more strong and rugged with habits
Of industry more firmly fixed and
possessing better sense of his respon-
sibility as a social and economic factor,
is the problem before you. The play
instinct is satisfied in the few days
following the close Of school, and if
he is normal he will be wanting TO go
to work and earn some money. While
the legal right exists Of taking all the
expense of his keep during the remain
der Of the year it is seldom wise to
carry 1t out to the letter. Let the boy
have enough to spend for the satisfac-
ton of his boys needs and encourage
the starting of bank account. 1t will
not need to be large before he will
feel a real interest in it and will want
to increase it in every way that he can.
If during the present summer there are
brought home to the boy or girl lessons
Of industry and saving, it will in the
long run prove as helpful as any lesson
got from books. In general way il
may be said that boys, like animals
respond to considerate treatment. This
is their due and will also bring the
largest measure of satisfaction to botE

SCIENTIFIC FORESTRY,

SCIENTIFIC FORESTRY.
A bulletin recently issued by the for
est service Of the department Of agri-
culture contains interesting data rela-
tive to the st1mpage business of the
national government. 1t shows how, as
q result Of series of legislative enact
ments beginning in 1891 under Presi-
dent Harrison and closing with the
measure enacted in February, 1905,
which transferred the entire forest in
terests Of the government to the de-
partment Of agriculture, forest pre-
serves have been created, the proper
administration of them arranged and
skilled force trained to attend to the
detail Of administrative work. The
policy upon which these forest reserves
are now administered is indicated by
the following extracts from letter
written by Secretary Wilson to the
forester in chief:
reserves it must be clearly borne in
mind that all land is to be devoted to
its most productive use for the perma-
nent good Of the whole people and not
for the temporary benefit Of individu-
ais or companies. All the resources Of
forest reserves are for use, and this
must be brought about in thoroughly
prompt and businesslike manner under
such restrictions only as will insure
the permanence Of these resources.
you will see to 1t that the water,
wood and forage of the reserves are
conserved and wisely used for the ben
eft Of the home builder first Of all. In
the management of each reserve local
questions will be decided upon local
grounds. Where conflicting interests
must be reconciled the question will
always be decided from the standpoint
Of the greatest good to the greatest
number in the long rum
One of the important aspects of the
work under the new administration has
to do with the sale Of timber from the
reserves. The amount Of revenue re-
ceived from this source during the year
1905 amounts to nearly $275,000. Bids
are received on those portions of the
forest reserve which can be safely cut
The work is done under the local SUI
pervision of the forest service, and the
terms Of sale are such that speculation
is impossible, as the timber to be cut
has to be removed within a specified
time, and in case the contract extends
over period OF years-in no case more
than five-a proportionate amount Of
timber has to be removed each year.
The Importance of having these tim
Der reserves under able supervision Of
careful and disinterested men Is real
lied when one appreciates the mag
nitude Of the governments timber
holdings. A single sale Of 100000
feet of lodge pole pine for railroad ties
Is pending on the Montana division Of
the Yellowstone forest reserve while
1t is estimated that 165,000,O00 feet,
board measure, of this same kind of
pine can be cut from one watershed Of
| the Medicine Bow forest reserve. Tie
entire property Of the forest reserves,
worth $250,O00,O0O in cash, is now be-
ing administered at cost Of less than
one-third Of l per cent of it's value,
while increase in that value Of not
less than 10 per cent year is taking
place. The day is thought to be not
| far distant when these reserves may
be expected to become a source Of pub
lie revenue.

ASSOCIATION COMES OUT ABOUT
EVEN THIS YEAR FINAN-
CIALLY
Has Note Carried Over From Last Sea-
son to be Paid-Risk Is Too Great to
Encourage the Undertaking for An.
other Year.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The Ottumwa Chautauqua associa-
ton will wind up its affairs and go out
of business. This action was practic-
ally determined at the meeting of the
board of directors yesterday. The
directors will submit the matter to
the stockholders, with the above rec
ommendation. There is little doubt
how the stockholders will decide.
The receipts of the Chautau
qua this year were ;. ....$ 3,038.65
as follows:
Receipts from season tickets
sold ........... ........$ 1,S295O
Gate receipts ........ $50. 1,209.15
lolai ........ ...........P o,ooo.oo
The bills are not yet all in, but it Is
known that the expenses will aggre-
gate practically the same amount as
the receipts, there being margin of
only a few dollars either way. This
leaves the association with note of
$3.50 and interest to pay, coming
over from last year. The president AMI
secretary were directed to pay all out
standing bills and to call meeting of
the stockholders of the Chautauqua as
ISOLATION to take such action as they
may deem best toward winding UP the
affairs of the association and going
out Of business. While the assembly
this year was success, it is the con,
sensus Of opinion of the directors that
the risk is too great for the probable
returns, and that there Is no general
demand in Ottumwa for summer
Chautauqua entertainment.

is unnecessary. He said that the reso-
luton of February 10 was in effect a
confiscating measure that made use
less several properties that are valu-
able as saloon locations but worthless
for any other purpose. To this Mr..
Keyhoe replied that the saloon depre-
ciates the value of the surrounding
property and should not be allowed in
residence districts for that reason If
for no other.
Vote Five to Two.
None of the other aldermen desired
to be heard on the resolution and a
roll call was ordered. 1t resulted as
follows:
Ayes-Mather, Weidenfeller, John
son, Wright, Cone-5.
Nays-Keyhoe, Pumphrey-2.
Absent-spry. oMalley-2.
When the orinigal resolution was
adopted it received the support of
Cone. Keyhoe, Humphrey, Spry and
O'Malley.
The resolution can be nullifed by
the mayors refusal to sign 1t within
fifteen days unless a two-thirds vote
Of the council over-rules him. He has
not yet signed the resolution nor de-
cided whether to withhold his sigma
ture. The two aldermen who were alb
sent last night voted for the original
resolution and it would probably be
hard to get six votes in favor of re-
pealing it.
Says Resolution Is Useless.
City Solicitor Gilmore is of the opin-
ion that the resolution is useless, even
If the repeating act does not stand.
1t cannot cause the saloon keepers to
close their places of business, he says,
without formal action by the council
revoking each ones license separately.
This action can be taken at any time
with regard to any saloon, by the coun-
Gil, without any resolution such as the
one passed in February. If the reso-
luton as passed then should remain
unrepealed it will be necessary for the
council to revoke the licenses Of the
prescribed saloons before it is incum-
bent upon their owners to go out of
business.
