Freezing of Onions.

An agricultural paper advises an In
quirer to keep his onions through the
winter by what Is known as the freez-
Ing process; there is no doubt but that
the onions will keep; that is they will
not rot, if properly frozen and kept at
just the right temperature, but what
the result will be when the thawing
process sets in Is hard to say, except
that the onions must be used as quick
ly as possible thereafter or they will
rot quicker than one can shovel them
out. By far the best way of storing
onions is to keep them in some place
where they will be perfectly dry and
yet where the temperature is not likely
to fall much, if any, below 50 degrees,
certainly not as low as freezing.
The best plan is to have store house
especially for the purpose, which will
pay if one has any considerable quan-
tity of onions to put away. In the late
fall, unless the weather is too severe,
ventilation should be given to this stor-
age house until the air is pure and as
dry as it is possible to have it with
out danger of its being too warm; then
close the house and keep it at about 35
degrees, and the onions will keep until
very late in the winter

People Who Eat Clay.

Clay eaters are found i'll the West
Indies, Honduras and some Of the re-
giOns round the Orinoco. They are not
necessarily of any particular tribe, for
even whites have fallen victims to this
degrading and fatal habit The habit
is contracted at as early an age as y
years, and the craving once acquired
appears to be irresistible. Confirmed
clay eaters will lie down and lick the
earth where the edible clay is found.
They suffer from chronic dyspepsia
and emaciatiOn; but in spite Of the
pain and weakness, they cannot do
without the clay any more than the con-
firmed drunkard can do without his al
cohol In some localities this clay is
whltish gray, sometimes yellowish-
pink. There appears to be lime in it,
and also the remains of minute organ
isms. 1t is sometimes eaten baked and
sometimes raw.
A confirmed clay eater will take four,
five, or even six pounds a day. Water is
drunk with it. At length the habit
seems to give an aversion not only to
other kinds of food, but also to alco-
holic drinks. AS soon as this stage is
reached the eating Of clay Invariably
causes death.

Selling or Shipping Poultry.

That more poultry raisers and farm
ers have not outgrown the plan of sell
ing in the fall and winter is very evl-
dent In localities where killeries are
located there is a good demand for
poultry the whole year around and
in every locality, hence it is necessary
for shipments to be made at certain
seasons when buyers are operating.
The price Of good poultry is satisfac-
tory and the demand is likewise very
good at present.
Where only small number of birds
are to be sold it may be well to sell to
some local dealer, but if a large ship
ment is to be made 1t will pay to ship
to some commission firm of reliability
in some of the large markets. Such
firms will be glad to make daily mar
ket reports and customers will be kept
posted as to the state of the market
1t may be very wise plan for sew
eral in a neighborhood to go together
and make a shipment, sending it direct
to large commission firms. By this
means a saving will be made Of hand
ling the shipment through third
party.
In shipping live poultry it Is a good
plan to grade the shipment The fowls
should be fed all they will eat just
prior to shipment and for this purpose
no better feed can be found than shelled
corn. They should also have plenty
of water A shipper informs US that
125 pounds of live poultry will consume
s pounds of shelled corn on a 300
mile journey.-Iowa Homestead.

Manure an Asset.

The dairyman who is progressive con-
siders manure as one Of the profits
and assets of farming, and is as care
FIJI to preserve it and avoid loss Of
plant food, as to harvest and store a
valuable crop. The milk sold from the
farm carries away large proportions
of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
but the mill products are cheaper than
milk, consequently it pays the farmer
to purchase the cheaper materials and
sell that which brings a higher price.
Milk is a product, and is presented to
consumers in a shape desirable for GER
tain purposes, being the result Of a con-
version of raw products into a manu-
featured article. With the advancement
Of the fertility of the farm comes
greater production of the home grown
materials used for feeding. As the
land increases in production the profits
derived are greater and the dairyman
becomes richer by Irtue of the fact
that he is, through the agency of his
cows, manufacturer instead of a sell
er of raw materials Before sending
his material to market, to be sold at
low figure, he changes its form and
character, thereby lessening its bulk,
and rendering it not only easier Of
transportation, but more acceptable to
purchasers. The farm is also enhanced
in value by reason of its greater fer
tility, while the stock itself may be
gradually increased in number and
quality. The dairyman USUALLY sells
nothing but milk and butter from his
farm, and he buys more than he sells,
h. purchases being of the raw mate
rails, while his sales are Of manu-
featured product. Unless he is care
less he will not impoverish himself, as
he has everything to gain, with but
little to lose, although at times the
markets are unfavorable and his COM
modities are depressed in value; but
his profits are not altogether in his
sales, but partly in the nanure.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

BALANCED Food for Swine

While our hogs get plenty of corn
we go to considerable effort to furnish
them variety in the rations and try
to give it to them in such way that
it forms a balanced ration. We are
believers in considerable soft food for
swine and consider a ration of wheat
middlings and gluten meal with a small
portion of process oil meal a feed that
will keep them in good weight and in
the finest condition. These grains are
mixed thoroughly and then skim milk
is used so that the mass is about like
thin porridge. This our hogs get twice
daily with corn on the cob for the third
NEAL and something in the way of root
crops or good kitchen slop in which Is
mixed vegetable and fruit parings for
the in-between meal. This Is the food
during the summer Except that the
corn is cut QUIT as we'll as during the
winter. The range takes the place Of
the third meal of slOp and vegetables,
but with these exceptions we try to
feed about the same the year round and
find that it pays.-Exchange
