ohio Onion Growing.

In growing onions it is very impor-
tant that the crop receive early atten-
ton, for if it gets stunted with weeds
it never does as well. constructed an
onion weeder which used last spring
for the first time and consider it a
most excellent tool, as it saves hand
wedding if used in time. When the
onions are up I cultivate thoroughly,
but do not let the weeds get the start
of them. The time for planting in this
section depends largely upon the sea-
son. AS rule we plant from April 10
to 20, but if the season is late they will
do well if sown in May. However,
when onions are planted early it is a.
good indication that there will de-
velop sound, well ripened crop, says
Trumbull county (O.) correspondent
of American Agriculturist.
The Yellow Globe is the variety best
suited for our purposes. The rows are
marked out twelve inches apart, and
il the soil is well adapted for onion
growing they can be set from eight to
twelve to the foot and do well. have
seen from fifteen to twenty growing
in twelve inches, but they crowd out
and pile up. We are rarely troubled
with blight. We were troubled some
what years ago, but now have fine
strain of onions. 1 have plowed lit
tie deeper each year until we have
from ten to twelve inches of soil. This
makes the plants hardy and strong.

THIS COUNTY LEADS ALL.

jefferson County, New York, Has
6,500 Members OF the Grange.
There are, according to the last cen
rus, in JEFFERSON county. New York,
1882 farms with farm buildings. There
nre now 6,500 Patrons of Husbandry in
the county. or one member for every
farm in the county, and 518 toward
making an average of every farmer
and his wife within the ranks Of the
grange There are Is oranges in the
county with over 200 and less than 300
members and only three with less than
100 members. OF the 81 oranges 81
own their own halls, while at least
three others have purchased lots pre-
paratory to the erection of such grange
buildings. The estimated value of the
grange halls of the county is $4,000,
while several of the oranges own com
modious barns that cost from $500 to
$1,000 each It win thus be seen that
the oranges are stable and perma
nent fixture in every community, and
the grange hall is coming to be as
much part of the machinery Of the
community as the church and the
school.
Jefferson county Pomona grange has
$50 members and is a most useful adj
junct to grange work in siren thening
the subordinate oranges Last year 1t
contributed $50 to the Watertown City
hospital and spent about the same
amount in providing c-aaitable
grange exhibit during the Old Home
week and centennial celebration of the
county.
The last report Of the secretary of
the Jefferson and Lewis Grange Fire
Insurance company showed that the
company carried on Jan. /, 6,293 poll
cies, representing $12,422, S54. The
company has been doing business for
thirty years. Its risks are strictly con-
fined to members of the grange in good
standing. 1t is ably differed, and its
affairs are wisely administered. Dur
ing the early years of the company's
existence, when it carried only about
100000 of risks, the average for adj
ministration was about $120. The bust
ness has grown to S12,500,000, vet the
cost has not increased proportionately,
the last report showing the total cost
of managing the company and caring
for it's great business only amounted
to. so cents per policy. The saving to
the policy holders during the past year
from the rates charged by the stock
companies was about $4,000.

Let Them Help Make Our Roads,

Let Them Help Make Our Roads,
Says Ohio Grange.
The National Grange of the Patrons
of Husbandry, following the initiative
Of several state oranges, is pushing an
agitation for the employment of state
prison conyicts in the making of public
highways. At the direct suggestion of
the Ohio state grange bill has been
introduced in the legislature of that
state looking toward convict work on
the roads, and the measure is said to
be likely to pass. It is a good move.
Some of the humanitarians are OPP
posed to the proposition. They think
it may prove unkind to convicts to
work them on the highway and per-
haps may be unpleasantly suggestive
of crime to the rising generation. Nei-
Their objection is valid. 1t is no I'M
kindness to take the convict out of his
cell or his indoor workshop in the sum
mer and autumn and give him chance
to breathe albeit with chain upon his
ankle, the free air of heaven on the
public road.

too much driving, and the draft for a
team is very light. Instead of single
pole / cut two of about equal size,
each about twelve or fourteen feet in
length, and coupled together at the
thin ends, with a coupling, as shown in
the cut. 1t is necessary to use chain
from the coupling as well as from each
end, as shown. The chains may be
adjusted to draw the poles at an an
gle, as shown. which seems to work
still better than drawn square across
the stubbles.
This is a very simple suggestion, says
a writer in Ohio Farmer, and similar
device may have been used by others,
but | have never seen anything but a
single pole used for the purpose. 1t
requires but few minutes time and
no expense to make according to plan
and will prove to work better and take
much less time to do the work than the
former method.

CORN STuBBLE DRAG.
A Device Designed as an Improve

Many farmers are accustomed to
breaking off the corn stubbles on
ground intended for blowing or culti-
waiting early in spring by the use Of
q pole drawn crossways over the stub
Dles. The morning is generally the
best Ntlme, before stubbles thaw and
become tough, when they will not
break off SO readily. This has always
been my method of doing the work.
and the objection / found was that a
long pole where ground is not level
will not drag close to the ground its
whole length. A short pole requires

The difference between being over
loaded with work and having what one

ton. Try to get shut of the extra, I'M
necessary burdens, and particularly
those you have voluntarily assumed.
Life is short at best, and you will be
long time dead, and it is better to en-
joy life's blessings and compensations

with a sense of relief and be glad of a
day off to attend your funeral.

Questions and Answers.

Can candidates be elected to member
ship in the grange at a special meeting
called for that purpose?
State Master George A. Fuller an
swers the question as follows: IF your
bylaws contain no provision to the
contrary and legal notice has been CIV
en- to all members of the grange, can
didates can be elected to membership
at special meetings, although do not
think it advisable to do SO unless the
exigencies of the case absolutely de-
mand it.
If the grange owns its own hall and
subsequently it's charter is given up for
any reason, to whom does the grange
property belong?
The personal property of grange
whose charter has been suspended or
surrendered belongs to the national
grange. e., it's rituals, charter, regalia
and seal are held in trust by the ma
tional grange until such time as its
charter is revived. The real estate of
the grange, such as halls barns, etc,
is the property of the grange, and when
a dormant grange disbands the proper
ty is sold at public auction, and the
proceeds are equally divided among
the members of the grange that were
in good standing on the date when the
grange became dormant The state
grange has no right to take the proper
ty of the subordinate grange any fur
ther than to see that the provisions of
the law under which the grange is In
corporated are fully complied with.

There seems to be an element of JUS
tice in the demand Of shippers for what
is termed reciprocal demurrage bill,
which, while levying penalty on the
shipper for delay beyond given limit
in the loading Of his car or cars, also
demands the payment to the shipper
by the transportation company Of a
similar amount for failure to furnish
cars at a specified time, nonperform-
ance of which duty is often attended
with serious loss to the shipper because
Of the consequent failure to get his

That bunch of farmers certainly had
a hand in something worse than a
poker game who dubbed together and
sent to distant catalogue house for
their timothy seed because they could
get it cheaper than from the home
dealer, When it arrived some Of the
buyers were suspicious Of its appear
ance and sent sample to their state
experiment station, where careful in
spection by experts showed It contain
ed, besides timothy seed, seeds Of the
Canada thistle and those of other nox-
ious weeds. Those economically in
clined may indulge this tendency In
the matter of purchasing ordinary
foodstuffs and wearing apparel which
are likely to be bogus and shoddy and
no serious results ensue, but when It
comes to the matter Of grain and grass
seeds 1t is worse than playing with Gre.

There is man in the western part
of Iowa who has made $4,000 the past
season buying poultry and feeding it
on the milk he bought from a nearby
creamery. He allowed the milk to
sour and fed it in shallow troughs after
it became thick. And, to use his own
words, you would be surprised to see
how they take on flesh with it." These
milk fed chickens are sought after by
both Swift and Armour at good prices.
This man commences work where the
farmer or the farmers wife leaves off.
He finishes the product gets it into
marketable condition. Poultry should
be fatted for market with just as
much care as the hog or the steer. II
1t pays this man to do it. it will pay
the man who raised the poultry.
