the railroad went, and an appreciative ia
cility was thus given to the journey
across the isthmus
Some idea Of the difficulties encountered
along this short stretch of line may be
gathered from the fact that no fewer
than 800 cu!verts. drains and bridges had
to be provided along the fifty-mile course
of the road. On the eth day of January.
1855. Col. Totten. the chief engineer OF
the company. went over the finished line
on the first locomotive to cross the Ameri-
can continent from ocean to ocean. The
cost Of the railroad up to that time APP
proximated 5000 900. which was con-
siderably in excess az the original esti-
mate. Although the outlay was too great
to allow proft to the promoters. the
utility of the line has we'll justified the
expenditure. For fifty years 1t has been
an important factor in transccntinental
commerce. 1t opened up the country and
stimulated the desire for a waterway.
During recent years the road has been
double-tracked. and it is paralleled by tel
egraph and telephone wires The present
plan for the canal necessitates a reloca-
ton Of q considerable norton OF the line
and the new roadbed is in course of con-
struction. Several miles of IT will run
across an arm of Gatun lake on trestles
to avoid an excessive detour.

Every beekeeper knows that bees, IL

their efforts to the production of
honey rather than to swarming. ! use
a little continuance of my own get up,
writes a correspondent Of Bee Culture,
for cutting round pieces of comb honey
out of combs and placing the same in
glass jars so that l can produce comb
honey without the expense of comb
honey supers and sections. This places
the honey Immediately in a package
where 1t is non-perishable and almost
non-breakable, and where 1t shows of
to the very best advantage.
In order to cut the honey 1t is nee
assary only to lay the comb on a clean
board or a tray made for the purpose;
press the cutter through the comb,
then pull it out again, when 1t will be
found that the cake of honey Is re-
tanned in the cutter. BY pushing on
the handle the cake Of honey may be
quickly placed inside the a or jar,

THE ONION CROP

Onion seed are cheap, and for start
seeds than sets. Onion sets will pro-
duce green onions of a size suitable
for table use much earlier in the
spring than will the seed, but they
cost more and are more difficult to
plant, and should not be used for gen.
eral crop work.
The land for the onion bed should
be plowed in the fall or early winter,
and should be given surface cultiva-
ton just before planting the seed in
the spring. Unless the ground is new
and very fertile, it will pay well to
give the land a dressing Of well-rotted
barnyard manure A good. plan is to
grow a crop Of cowpeas on the ground
in late summer, and pillow them under
in early fall. The ground will then be
in ideal condition for receiving an
onion crop in the early spring. With
The ~seed-bed thoroughly prepared, the
opportunities for a good crop are
greatly increased.
The seed should be drilled in rows
about IS inches apart. The common
garden drill is the best tool that can
be used for this work. 1t is indispen-
sible, if a large planting is to be made,
for the garden work; however, small
rows can be laid out with the hoe or a
stick and the seed drilled In by hand,
scattering the seed quite thickly in
the row. Cover with moist soil, and
firm the soil well down around the
seed. The seed should be planted no
deeper than is necessary to place
them in contact with moist soil. In
no case should they be planted more
than an inch and a half or two inches
deep. If they can not be placed in
moist soil 1k inches below the sur
face, It is better to plant them deeper
than one inch and wait for a rain to
bring them up.
Onion seed should be tested before
planting. The seed deteriorates rap,
idly with age, and II 1t shows poor
sprouting, new seed should be OBJ
tanned or an approximate larger guam
tity should be planted. The seed
terminates slowly, and 1t is frequent
ly advisable to soak the seed in warm
water "a hours before planting. About
six or seven pounds of seed will plant
one acre of ground in the manner dc,
scribed above.
The land should be cultivated as

STEAM PLows FOR INDIANS.
Sioux Near Wakpala, s. D., Will Plant
Three Thousand Acres Of Flax.

Three Thousand Acres or flaS'
A steam pillow outfit commenced
breaking near Wakpala last week, n
another outfit is on the way. These
plows are breaking for the Indians on
their allotments, and the owners have
contracts to break, sow and harvest
over 5000 acres of fax.
Farming is a new proposition to the
Indians here, except in a small way,
their attention having been given prin-
cipally for stock raising, but the par
ticular band living in this vicinity has
always been quick to take hold of a
new idea and make a success OF 1t.
One builder has 5000 worth of con-
tracts on hand to build frame houses
on indian allotments.
Many land seekers are trying to buy
from the Indians, who. unde the
Burke law, can sell their lands. Many
refuse to sell al all, and those that do,
drive very shrewd bargains. The lands
Of deceased Indians are bringing good
prices and a large amount is being
sold. The result will be that in a short
time the reservation itself will have
about as large a white population as it
now has Indian.
It is a noteworthy fact, and signif-
cant OF the change Of opinions hat
one generation has brought, that the
utmost amity prevails between the w
races. The Southern Standing Rock
Sioux have made extraordinary prog
ress. and are today the wealthiest n
most intelligent Indians in the North
west.
