THE ONION CROP.
Onions Doing Fairly Well In Com
mercilI Districts


The new onion crop in the CONNER
cial growing districts of the United
States for the most part is progressing
satisfactorily. 1t is evident that condi
tons eastward, including New York
and New England, are averaging rela.
lively better than in the central west.
ern states Of Michigan, Wisconsin, In.
diana and Illinois. In the latter sec.
tons rainfall has proved too abundant
this season, and many correspondents
OF American AgriculturiSt say that Sc.
rious damage has been occasioned on
account of a portion of the crop being
washed out. This has necessitated con
siderable reseeding in some sections.
This is noted particularly in onion
growing districts of Indiana.
While giving full weight to damage
sustained through excessive moisture,
allowance should be made for the sub
stantial increase in acreage in many
parts of the west as compared with
last years paintings. In parts of
Michigan the season has proved so wet
that a full acreage could not be put
out, and in those sections we find an
exception to the general expansion.
The Ohio Onion Fields.
The Ohio onion fields have also suf
fered somewhat from the wet season.

good weather the outlook is fairly

yet many claim the crop as a whole is
promising. In Wayne county low tracts
are said to be in worse shape than a
year ago. but our correspondents say
better weather might change the situa-
ton entirely. In Clark county the
plants are healthy and very promis-
ing. Weeds are abundant in Erie and
Trumbull counties, but recently the
crop has done well.
In New York and New England.
The outlook in New York is better
than last year. This feature is pro
nounced in the famous Orange county,
where a decided increase in the acre
age IS the rule. The Canastota fields
Of Madison county are. somewhat
weedy, but nevertheless show up bet
ter than this time last year. Many
reports tell OF the presence of both
maggots and smut and complain of
weeds to some extent, but in spite of
this the outlook in the state gives more
promise than it did this time last sum-

The plant has secured a good start
in the commercial onion raising states
Of New England, where the crop Is
largely grown. The acreage there is
perceptibly larger than last year, and

Men Are Bigger Now.

Until the sixteenth century armor
developed in a logical way, its forms
were governed by the necessities of
war, and changes in it were the re-
suit of practical experience and actual
experiment on the battlefield. After
the sixteenth century it became fan
tastic and meaningless, a gala costume
rather than a harness. The greatest
captains opposed its use, but the no
bles chung 10 it as a mark of distinc-
ton. After 1t was made bullet proof
it became so enormously heavy that at
the end of the sixteenth century 1t
was complained that gentlemen of thir-
ty were even at that age deformed by
the weight of their armor. In spite of
the huge armors Of Henry VIII, of
Anthony of Burgundy and of some 9th
ers. the average size of the modern
man is greater than that of the sol
der of the middle ages and the re-
naissance, if we can judge from the
armor preserved in the museums Of
England and the continent. which are
with few exceptions, small and mar

known by the common name of mud
devil or hellbender The mud devil
has neither the spiked tail, the horned
head nor the cloven hoofs that are sup.
posed to be the distinguishing marks
of the evil one. but he is hideous
enough TO suggest all sorts of horrid
dreams and nightmares. and on that
account has been made more repulsive
by the besIoval of his uneuphonious
common name. lie is not poisonous in
any way. has no horns or sting, but IS
simply a mud devil because he is re
pulsively ugly. In general appearance
his distorted and wart covered body is
not exactly unlike that of a gigantic
tadpole. His average length is about
eighteen inches. but occasional well fed
individuals may exceed even two feet
from tip to tip. He has a broad, fiat
head and sharp. sawlke fin running
from the middle of the back to the tail.

A medical journal in a recent refer
ence TO Il work on some old legends in
connection with drugs said: 1T would
be interesting to know if the bird
which the author calls 'aster' is known
to modern ornithologists. Speaking of
it, he remarks that its scent is said to
be so strong that fishes are drawn by
it as he is flying over the river and so
taken up by him, having one leg like
hawk, the other like duck" 1t is not
difficult, however to identify the bird
in question. 1t is the osprey pandion
haliaetusJ which, although not today
classified under the genus astur, is re-
lated to it. In the Rev. c. Swainson's
Folklore of British Birds" there is a
reference to it from Shakespeare Go
