PENDANT appeared to be rational at all
times he had seen her, but did not know
what change might have taken place
after 1908.
Richard J. Culver, a newspaper re-
porter, said he saw Mrs. Corwell in the
city Jail the day following the shoot
ing. He had interviewed her and she
appeared to be rational at that time.
She was dressed entirely in black, he
said, and wore no hat.
Inquired About News Story
"In an article you wrote at that
time did you not state she was very
hysterical?" asked Appel, but the wit
ness declared he did not remember hav-
ing done so.
Mrs. Olive Champion said she had
Gone some work for Mrs. Corwell in the
spring of 1906, and she appeared to be
rational. She knew the defendant by
the name of Mrs. Bennett, she said.
Mrs. Mary Clare, a laundry solicitor,
said she had taken laundry from Mrs
CorwelPs rooms in the Venice apart
ment house in 1906 and she appeared to
he rational at that time. On cross
examination witness said Mrs. Corweii
had simply greeted her In a casual man

and witness not notice it.

earlier for the defense, was recalled.
He said he had made brace for Mrs.
Corwells ankle.
did she appear rationale" asked
Blair.
This was objected to by Appel, who
declared the prosecution could not bring
in such evidence.
Nothing, he said, had been testified
to by the defense that Mrs. Corweli
was irrational at all times during the
time covered by the defense. Rebuttal
of the evidence, he said, should be con-
fined to those traits of character intro
duced by the defense, which had taken
the ground that these attacks were
periodical and that the defendant might
be suffering at other times from some
| lurking disease not apparent to the or
binary observer.
The question was withdrawn.
Witness said the defendant was suf-
fering a great deal and was naturally
| in a nervous condition, but he had paid
no attention to her mental state.
Mrs. Hattie Wagner, who in 1900
made her home with George T. Bennett
and his wife on Gladys avenue and who
was a bookkeeper for Bennett, said she
knew Mrs. Corwell who was at the
Bennett store frequently She was
asked If she noticed anything peculiar
in the defendants actions, but the court
ruled that the period was too remote
from 1907 to go into.
Court adjourned until 10 o'clock this
morning.

CURING ONIONS.
Editor The Ranch:

Editor The Ranch:
Your letter, relative to the curing
of onions, was referred to me for re-
ply. This is one of the questions that
we are frequently asked and one con-
corning which very little experimental
work as to the best method of curing
them and keeping them has been
done. However, | have found the fol-
lowing plan very satisfactory:
Permit the onions to ripen as thor
oughly as possible in the field and then
pull during a dry spell, if possible.
realize that in many sections OF the
State where onions are grown the
weather will be too uncertain for thor
ough curing in the field, so make use
of the following plan: Where it is i'm
nossible to spread them out evenly
and thinly over a barn floor or dry
air loft. we find it necessary to con-
struct a curing shed. This may be or
anv width convenient of course, large
enough for a person to work in the
alleyway from the center oredges OF the
shed The shed is divided off in open
bins with Slated shelves every IL TO
"a inches. extending from top to bot
tom. These Slated shelves are Tor
the placing of the onions upon and IN
sures perfect ventilation and circula.
ton of the air. The onions are placed
upon the shelves not more than from
10 to - inches in depth and it is usu-
ally best, however, not to have-them
more than six inches deep. By having
them open in this way it is possible
for a person to go through the sned
and detect any onions that are start
ING To grow or are not curing well. In
this way, without artificial heat, onions
can be kept very nicely into the
spring. We find great variation in
the time in which onions will start
into growth and so make it a practice
to nick out the earlier growing lndl-
viduals for the first sales in the win
ter. Moisture must be kept away
from them or it will make trouble for
YOU. 1t is never safe to pile them IN
large piles, since they will easily spoll
and readily start into growth.

in grass the moisture supply is apt
to be very short. 1t is impossible to
grow the very best fruit without fully
complying as nearly as possible with
the requirements that produce fine
fruit.
Object lessons that point the way
are rarely needed by the average
fruitgrower. The grand work of Geo.
w. Meyers, of Orcas, is a case in
point. For the past ten years he has
given the people of the island valuable
object lessons in growing the best of
fine fruit, that might be worth thou
sands to the neighbors, and men come
across the continent to buy his fruit.
But is there man on the island who
is copying his valuable work? No.
All fruit trees respond to liberal
feeding and the possibilities for grow
ing fine samples are immense. We
do not realize what it means. 1t will
be surprise to all who adopt its SIM
pie lessons Better fruit than our peo-
pie ever produced is within the reach
of all-clean culture is imperative and
liberal feed the year round.
Since issuing the above circular
have many inquiries as to varieties to
plant, and it has attracted attention
from many homes. That it will mean
superb fruit for thousands of homes is
certain, as it is a great success every
time it is followed out. We have all
the climate needed to ripen the very
best of peaches, but the soil alone is
responsible for the curl leaf that has
for years prevented our growing fine
fruit Many thanks for your gift sub
scription. Yours for 10-inch peaches

GROWING PEACHES NEAR COAST.

Growing peaches in Western WASH
inoton and like parts of the Coast is
simply a matter of placing Wltnln
reach of the trees permanent moisture
on a we'll drained sub-soil, and an
abundant supply of best tree nourlsn-
ment. saw growing in Sumas last
season. where these conditions were
supplied, the very best quality OF
peaches noticed in any state. frees
were propped all around and fruit hung
in punches of from one to five all over
the tree. Four peaches when placed
on table measured one foot, and each
peach measured twelve inches In
circumference. In color and flavor
fine, thick meated and very handsome
could not be surpassed anywhere,
and those same trees are today loaded
and propped again with very fast
growing fruit. :,
Another case of feeding for fine fruit
is closer by. These trees are full OF
fruit and have to be propped now,
June 80, and must be thinned or Will
break down. | commenced feeding a
tree last winter on the same place, and
my young tree is full of fine fruit. we
must realize that our soil is out OF
balance for best results and being
short of humus, potash and in some
cases nitrogen, lime and the phos-
pilates, and what is most essential,
permanent moisture at the time OF I'm
fishing the ripening process. No curl
leaf ever appears on these well fed
trees at any time.
The Sumas trees were growing close
to the family privy vault, and were
abundantly supplied with essential fer
tilizing elements; and other trees are
supplied from urine, soap suds and
dish water carried to them the year
round. The growing, by each family,
of their own peach supply, means
many thousands of dollars and much
better fruit than we can import from
distances by rail. Our summers are
dry and as most of our orchards are
