Onions require rich soil, not too
sandy, as they must be able to reach
constant moisture. To grow onions
successfully from seed they must be
sown early. Sow in rows and cover
the seeds about one inch with fine soil.
DO not allow a crust to form over the
rows before the onions are up.

Architects i'm New York are today de-
%veloping on blue prints substantially the
same style of structure Bellamy told
about in his fanciful story. In a quiet
room that looks down into the area of
the tablets in lower Broadway,
draughtsmen for more than six months,
under the direction of two architects,
have been working out the plans for
New York's first great modern struc-
ture.
When the real estate brokers shall have
found a suitable city block and experience
shall nave taught a little more about re-
inforced concrete construction the men
and the millions will be ready. Conditions
peculiar to Manhattan have developed the
narrow, shaft-like "skyscraper" to its
highest point and these same conditions
will create the first giant structure of fifty
stories or more.
American engineers years ago began
giving their attention to the concrete
problem and they have mastered it. AT
Broadway and SiXty-second street one
may see a modern, reinforced concrete
building in process Of construction. There
is no steel fra1ne, no Brick, no wood.
The foundations are of concrete. Upon
the foundation, instead of upright steel
beams, four or five small steel rods. the
size o fsmall railroad rails, are set up and
the concrete columns are built up about
them. Moulds are constructed of planking
and the concrete poured into them. When
the mixture dries thoroughly. if properly
made, 1t is harder and more enduring than
L granite; it is more elastic than brick or
stone, and absolutely tireproof:: StoMe of
most kinds subjected to extreme heat will
crack and disintegrate. Concrete will not.
The longer it is exposed to the elements
the harder and stronger it becomes.
Prominent Builder Says Yes.
Theodore Starrett, of the Thompson
Starrett Building Construction company,
is one among the progressive builders of
the present day who believes that concrete
is to be an important factor in the evolu-
ton and revolution of future building con-
struction.
Mr.. Starrett was asked to express his
opinion concerning the 10O-story building
of the future.
will New York nave a lG0-story build
ing in the near future? Perhaps 1 might
say. Not yet, but soon.' Some day it
will come. Our civilization is progressing
wonderfully. Building is one of the chief
factors of civilization. In New ork-by
what l mean Manhattan Island-we must
keep on building and we must build up
ward. Step by step we have advanced
from the wooden hut to the thirty story
skyscraper. Practically we have reached
the limit in altitude with the present type
of buildings. Now we must develop some
thing different, something larger.

That the roots of many native plants,
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure

the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work SO he wanted his

QUICK AND EFFECTIVE.

December 5 Congressman Mondell
introduced in the house of representa-
tives a resolution asking the secretary
of the interior to transmit to the house
of representatives a full and complete
description of all public lands which
had been withdrawn or reserved from
entry, filing or selection since the first
day of July, 1906. together with a re
port as TO the reasons for the said
Withdrawals and reservations, and as
TO the character of the same, and he
present status of the lands relative to
entry, filing and selection under the
land laws; also a tabulated statement
OF the areas withdrawn for various pur-
poses in each public land state and
the total areas withdrawn in each state
and in all of the public land states.
The resolution was aimed to get ac-
curate and complete information be-
fore the president as to the extent OF
the gigantic Withdrawals made by the
secretary of the interior during the
past few months. one-fourth of the
state OF Wyoming had been withdrawn
from all forms of entry, whereas the
president had been given to understand
or at least understood that the lands
had been withdrawn from coal entry
only. Just as soon as MIR. Mondell was
able to get the matter directly before
the president in its true light, the or
der of withdrawal was modified so as
to conform to the presidents wish and
understanding of the matter, and the
result was a restoration to entry IN
the arid states of G $4,000, 900 acres Of
land. Coal filings cannot be made
upon them, but all other kinds of en-
tries may be received.
