There is no city or village so poor

Winton handed in his batch of tele-

than a leisurely trip to the Pacific coast

Was there fresh news from the seat of
war In Quartz Greek canyon? Winton
thought not. In that case he would have
had his budget as we'll: and SO far as his
own advices went. matters were still
as they had been. A letter from the
Utah attorneys in Carbonate assured
him that the Injunction appeal was not
yet decided. and another from Chief of
Construction Evarts concerned itself
chiefly with the majors desire to know

up and laid between two thin waters
or biscuits. Eaten in this way they
are also easily digested. The reason
SO many people complain Of onions
disagreeing with them is that they
eat too much Of the hOmely vegetable.
Onions are not intended to be eaten
en- masse. When they are taken raw
they should be thoroughly masticated.
or. better still, the juice of the onion
should be pressed out and taken on
bread or as q sauce.
In this form the onion Is splendid
for liver complaints and acts in con
sequence as 4 purifier for q dark and
muddy complexion.
An onion poultice will extract the
pain aud heat from q scald or burn.
To make this p0ultice take q certain
quantity of onions and crush them
and lay between cheesecloth and ap-
ply to the burn. q;
Onion syrup made in the following
manner will relieve the congestion In
cases of Group. Cut several raw
onions into slices, sprinkle the slices
with granulated sugar and squeeze
out the juice. The dose is a teaspoon
full every Is minutes until relief Is
obtained. This syrup is also much
used in cases of bronchitis. =
A good cook uses onions almost as
freely as she does salt. But the
onion is. always disguised. or, rather.
1t is merely the juice. and not the
pulp. that is tasted. Sugar peas are
very much improved by boiling q
young onion with them, and the pasty
taste vanishes from macaroni II 3

water in which 1t Is cooked. French
people take a piece Of onion and rub
It inside the salad dish before dress

ceptible flavor of onions that gives no

STABLE AND DAIRY.

More good COWS are spoiled every
year by careless milking than any
other way. A very little milk left in
the udder at each milking will cause
the best COW to decrease.
A few days will make quite q diff.
ference In the quality of corn fodder.
Cattle will eat nearly the whole Of 1t
II cut before 1t loses its bright color
and its succulent leaf.
Fix 1t in mind that 1t pays to have
the stock comfortable. to say nothing
Of the humanity Of 1t. They will make
gain more rapidly and give a better
profit on the food consumed.
Milking should not only be done
thoroughly. but quickly; and there
should be no noise whatever, unless
q quiet singing. 1t is said that a sing
ing mixer is paid an extra price in
Switzerland.
Frosted grass Is not good thing
for colts. nor is there much virtue in
1t for any stock. II the cattle remain
on pasture after hard frosts come. see
that they have something beside the
grass To eat.
II farmer has not the time to train
a colt himself, q competent man can
be found to do 1t. who can In q few
weeks have q colt so trained that q
buyer can see at once what qualities
1t possesses. An outlay will be more
than covered In the price. -.
In sending unframed horses to mar
ket, breeders seem to overlook the
fact that 1t is not merely the form nor
color nor condition which determines
the price which animals will command.
The chief thing buyer wants to know
is what the horse can do.

THE BEST TI1lE FOR PLANTING
CURRANTS. =

. Currants are about the cheapest
and easiest crop Of fruit to produce.
requiring very little time and labor a
compared with many others. states
American Gardening. For filters. or
what might be termed q catch crop.
they are indispensable. when grown
between plum. pear. peach. cherry and,
ounce trees. They can be grown In
an orchard Of any Of these fruits with
out retarding or injuring the trees.
When currants are fruited in this way
it is merely a question of more manure
or fertilizer. Every intelligent fruit
grower will understand this. at once.
Under this system of intensive garden
ing you have nice income from your
currants. while your fruit trees are de-
veloping and getting ready for fruit
ing.
1t depends entirely upon yourself as
to how long these bushes will bear
large, marketable fruit. -.
No matter how great a sacrifice it
may seem. you should remove two
thirds of the new wood each season.
Failing to do this, you will soon have
lot Of OvergrOwn bushes ON your
hands. and the fruit will dwindle in
size and be imperfect in many ways
On the other hand. II you prune judi
ciOusly. spray as often as is neces-
sary. manure well and cultivate thor
oughly. you can keep your plantation
of currants in perfect order for 1t
least ten years and one year with an
other. you will be well recompensed
for your investment and labor. p.

Growing sOiling crops stands rela-
lively higher in the estimation Of
farmers east than those west ThG
reasons for this are that productiou
is less vigorous in the east. and there
fore the necessity is greater for grow
ing these crops. The labor on west
ern farms is also dearer relatively
consequently where all the help has
to be hired. the expense of cutting and
feeding the food from day = day Is
material Because Of this may farm
ers who are satisfied that soiling crops
under certain conditions should be
grown, refrain in the meantime from
growing them because these conditions
are not present.

NAMES FOR FARMs.

We wish that every farm had q
name. This is not a matter of senti.
ment but is strictly business. The
man whose farm is known by name Is
certain to take greater interest In
its products and to conduct all of his
operations on better plan. On
every place there is certain to. be
some popularity that will suggest a
name. A spring of pure water, q
grove of oak or maple trees or some
thing else Of similar nature will
give it local flavor. Then pla-t its
name on the end Of the barn i..cinx
the road. Let 1t be where every pass.
erby can see 1t. Your farm will then
soon become known far and wide and
will aid you In a thousand ways. Be
