RAISING ONION SETS.
A Suggestion to Women Folks for
Making Little Pin Money.

An easy way for woman to make
little money for herself is by raising
onion sets from seed. To get the best
results the seed should be planted
late, using ground where an early
crop, such as peas or string beans,
has grown. The seeded should be
made firm and solid, and the seed
planted thickly in wide rows, lightly
covered and pressed down with a
board.
All weeds should be kept out, saws
the Farm and Home, but no thinning
is done, as the object is to crowd them
so that the onions will not grow too
large for sets. If the earth seems to
cover the bulbs entirely it should be
swept away from them with a broom
When sufficient growth has been
made it is usually late enough in the
season so that the tops die down nat
urally, but if they do not they should
be broken down by running IL roller
over them. Soon after this they
should be dug and dried carefully. ont
doors if possible, then stored in q
cool, dry place till spring. All gro
GERS handle them and 1t is not difficult
to find market for all one has TO sell.

NAME WAS A COMPROMISE.
Explanation Of Remarkable Coane
mon of Nevada Town.

A Nevada man having extensive
mining claims in the goIdfeld region
tells Of lucky strike that was made
last year near Carson City, a strike
that proved to be of such promise that
goodly sized camp Immediately
sprang up around 1t.
The two principal mine owners
were, respectively, an Irishman and
a Jew, and as a compliment to these
leading citizens the camp decided to
leave to them the bostowal of a suit
able name upon the new community.
There followed many conferences
between the two, none Of which result
ed in an agreement. The Irishman
stood out for name that would sug.
gest his native isle, while the Jew was
just as insistent, on his part, for a
name that should be suggestive of the
chosen people. This deadlock con-
tinued so long that the rest of the
camp grew restless, and finally insist.
ed that there should be a compromise.
So the new camp was called "Tipperu
salem"

FARM SURVEYS,
How Straght.Edge Board and Spirit
Level Can Be Used.

A means of surveying for the farmer
without investment in any expensive
equipment has been offered by a cor.
respondent. This can be readily prac.
ticed by any one, and requires only a
board with straight edge and spirit
level. The way to go about it is this:
First determine the only two points,
the levels of which you desire to de.
termine, and drive stakes in the ground.
Then take a board with an even edge
and tack it to tree, if one happens to
be available within the line of the two
stakes. Otherwise drive a third stake
in the ground between them. Put the
board at such height that you can
readily sight over it, and carefully
level this board by means of the spirit
level. Then sight over it toward one
OF the stakes. having some one at that
stake who will by means of small
piece of paper locate the point at
which your line of vision cuts it-in
other words, where line projected
from your sighting board would strike
the stake. Make some sort of a mark
at thls point, and then sight to the 9th.
err stake in the same way. and mark
the point where the line would strike
it. BY measuring distances that these
two points are above the ground you
can get the difference in levels with
reasonable accuracy, says the Journal
of Agriculture. For instance, if your
line of vision has cut one stake eight
feet from the ground, and the other
one five feet from the ground, then OBJ
viously the difference in level is three
feet, or, in other words. the vicinity OF
the stake on which the mark is five
feet from the ground is three feet
higher than the other stake, and you
will have three foot fall from drain.

CARE OF EARTH ROADS,.
Treatment Of Clay Roadbed Differs
from One Composed Of Sand.

On clay roads thin layer of sand.
gravel or ashes will prevent the stick
ing of clay to the roller or to the
wheels of vehicles. Clay soils as a
rule absorb water quite freely and
soften when saturated, but water does
not pass through them readily. When
used alone clay is the least desirable
OF all road materials, but roads com.
posed of clay may be created with sand
or small gravel from which compare
lively hard and compact mass Is
formed, which is nearly impervious to
water. Material of this character found
pm the natural state commonly known
as "hardpan" makes, when properly
applied, very solid and durable road.
in soils composed of mixture of sand
gravel and clay all that is necessary
to make a good road is to crown the
surface and keep the ruts and holes
filled, and the bitches open and free.
While clay alone never makes a
good road, except in dry weather,
sand alone never makes a good road
except in wet. The more the drainage
OF sand road is improved the more
deplOrable becomes it's condition Moth
ing will ruin one quicker than to dig
a ditch on each side and drain all the
water away. The best way, therefore,
to make such a road firm is to keep it
constantly damp. This can be done by
planting shade trees along it's sides
to prevent the evaporation of water,
or by growing upon the surface of such
sand roads a thick turf, preferably
Bermuda grass. Roads running through
loose sand may be improved by mix
Ing clay with the sand and slightly
browning the surface.
For the temporary improvement of
earth or sand roads, any strong fibrous
substance, especially if it holds mois.
ture, such as refuse of sugar cane or
sorghum, and even common straw,
flax, swamp grass or pine needles will
be useful. Spent tan bark is some.
times beneficial and wood fiber in any
form is excellent. Enough sand or
earth should be thrown over such
roads to keep them damp and pro-
tect them from catching fire.
Earth is composed of small, irregu-
lar fragments which touch each other
at points, leaving voids between.
When the earth is broken up and pull
verified these voids are almost equal
in volume to the solid particles, and as
a result the earth will absorb almost
an equal volume Of water In the
building or maintaining of earth roads
it is, therefore. very desirable that
these small, irregular particles be
pressed and packed into as small
space as possible, in order that sur
plus water may not pass in and de-
stroy the stability of the road. To
this end rolling is very beneficial. The
work of maintaining dirt roads will be
much increased by lack of care in
properly rolling the surface-Depart-
ment of Agriculture Report.

1t was very dark the clouds OBJ
scured the sky and a light wind came
from the northeast. Henry had now
got his bearings. His dory had shipped
but little water during the awful tu
mutt. He was in the act of stepping
the mast, when a new sound broke
upon his ear. 1t was the Stating of
vessels sails, and in his immediate
proximity. His strained eyes dis
cerned blotch upon the blackness
OF the night, slightly on his port bow
and becoming momentarily palmer to
his vision. A moment later he was
able to make out schooner with all
sail set, riding deeply in the water
and nearly hove-to. Henry dropped
the mast and shipped the oars, few
strokes of which brought him on her
weather quarter, whence he Justify
hailed: Schooner, ahoy!' which, be-
ing repeated and varied with Aboard
the schooner" bringing him no reply,
he again seized his oars and brought
the dory alongside. He leaped lightly
on board, painter in hand. He trailed
his boat astern and secured the paint
err firmly. The schooner was on the
starboard tack with all sail set, includ-
ing fore and main gaff topsails, fore
topmast staysail, jib and flying jib.
About 20 feet of her midship bulwark
was torn away and her decks were wet
and slippery from recent foundations.

results, and Henry Bradford realized
that he was the only living being
aboard that Inflated schooner.
His mind was now intensely alert
and he was on familiar ground. AS
fast as halyards could be handled, he
cleWed up both gaff topsails, and
hauled down and furled the flying jib,
lib and foretopmast staysail. Then,
after stoppering both gaff topsais, he
returned to the deck and in a few min
utes had the schooner upon the proper
course for Boston light.
Daylight had come and the wind
had freshened slightly. A hurried en-
animation of the papers in the cap
tain's stateroom disclosed the vessels
manifest, which gave the information
that the schooner Clara Bates, $50
tons register owned by Bates & Joyce
of Boston, commanded by Capt. Ezra
Perry of Salem, and a crew of five
men, was carrying $50 tons of coal
consigned to the owners of the vessel
in Boston. A small sum of money in
the captains desk and the usual in
struments of navigation were the
things of most value which caught
Bradfords eye during his hurried eX-
animation. The demands of the inner
man were satisfied with substantial
breakfast, consisting of ham, fried po-
tatoes and hot coffee.
The wind held true, and Bradford's
mind had already worked out plan
of operations. He led his jib down
haul and jib alyards-secured by a
slip noose-aft, and, once in smooth
water, he made ready his sheet anchor,
secured by christopher only, and
overhauled few fathoms of chain.
At four o'clock that afternoon, he
brought the Clara Bates into the wind
on South Boston flats, hauled down his
jib and, as the vessel lost way, slipped
his christopher and anchored.
The rest is mere detail. 1t was in
the fall of the great coal strike, and
coal was coal. Henry sent word to
Bates & Joyce by the harbor masters
tug, and an hour later the corpulent
and genial Mr.. Joyce was on board
and had heard Henry's wonderful
story. At II o'clock the next day
Henry Bradford signed a release and
accepted lump sum of $4,000 in lieu
of all services rendered and salvage
expected. There is one more happy
detail. The 20 feet of bulwark that
was torn away from the side of the
Clara Bates acted as life raft for the
members of her company, who were
swept overheard at the same time.
They We're picked up few hours later
by an ocean-going tug with tow of
coal barges and bound for Salem.
At the earnest request Of Henry
Bradford, his name was suppressed
from the newspaper accounts of the
saving of the Clara Bates, and his
appearance among his townspeople a
few days later was received as the
homecoming of man who had gone
out, done battle with the great world
and returned successful.

MOVING BRUSH.
Clean the Pastures and Seed Them to
Tame Grass.

There is much time and strength
wasted where brush is moved in the
early part of the growing season
because the roots will at once sprout
and produce another crop. This is
not true where the brushing is done
during the fall months.
There are many pastures so occu-
pied with brush that the grass can
not gain place in the soil. Get
after these idle fields with a brush
scythe and clear them as soon as
possible. Burn the waste material
and seed the land to tame grass
which will make the idle acres as
profitable as the clearings, declares
the Northwestern Agriculturist Where
land is selling for $50 to 500
per acre ii should be productive of

brush to occupy the same.
