Board Culture For Onions.

Good crops of onions have been
grown on a small scale by peculiar
system which may be called board
culture" One grower tried the plan
last year on a patch of six or eight
square rods. The onion field was
prepared in the usual way with two
rows sixteen inches apart. Onion sets
of the large, white varieties were
then pricked out about six inches
apart in the rows. Boards foot
wide of the same length as the rows
were placed between the rows, leav-
ing a space of four inches for the
onions to grow. The labor of keep
ing the plants clean and cultivated
was very light and a big yield was
gathered. About 700 feet of cheap
boards were required. No doubt If
the rows had been only nine or ten
inches apart, with six-inch boards
between the rows, much larger
quantity could have been grown on
the same land.-American Cultivator.

Birds Killed by Spraying.

A large amount of circumstantial
evidence seems to justify the assump-
tion that birds are killed by spraying
trees with arsenical insecticides for
the purpose of killing insects. Last
year many birds were found dead
where trees were sprayed, and the
State ornithologist began an investi-
cation to determine whether the birds
were killed by spraying. The evil
dence secured was not conclusive
enough to clear up the matter fully.
1t is now time to begin spraying for
the gypsy moth, brown-tail moth and
elm-leaf beetle. Dead birds usually
may be found within two or three
days after spraying has been done.
All who are interested in bird life
are requested to be on the watch for
dead birds under or in the vicinity of
sprayed trees, and to forward any
found to e. H. Forbush, State Orni-
biologist, Room 1856, State House,
Boston, Mass. 1t is proposed to have
the birds bodies analyzed to learn If
they have been poisoned by the spray
ing mixture.-American Cultivator.

How to Sell the CulIs

The best disposition any fancier
can make of his Gull birds is to dress
them and sell them in the market.
1t is dangerous to the reputation of
breeder of fine poultry to sell them
alive at any price. We once knew
fancier to sell his Gull birds alive
to a grocer The next thing he knew
huckster poultry dealer was offer
ing birds of his strain for sale and a
little inquiry showed that the enter
prising grocer had sold the Gull birds
to the huckster at about twice the
market price.
On one occasion we sold thirty-hvo
culls to a man who lust wanted
plain layers, didn't care for points
or scores" These birds wPe sold
for just what they were for a little
more than the market price. 1t was
not long before letter from the
buyer of these birds appeared in
farm paper denouncing our stock in
unmeasured terms as being unfit to
breed. Since that time we have
never sold Gull bird alive. Kill
the culls for II you sell them alive
some one will see them and Judge
your whole flock by them.--Poultry.

Average Farm Hand.

The lot of the average farm hand
is stated by many to be hard one
How does it compare with Consul
Martins description of the mine la
borer in the larger mines of Mexico:
The living conditions of the workers,
Mr.. Martin states, are extremely
humble. The average man and his
family live in a one-room shack, mud
house, stone hut. or dugout, along
some bank. Their food consists of
dried meat, fried -four cakes, beans
and rank coffee. Stoves are found
only in the better homes. the labor
er's meal being cooked over a little
fire between stones. At meal times
the family gather around the fire.
and sleep on blankets on the floor.
This is the living condition in every
camp; the high-priced laborers alone
have ordinary meals and sleeping
cots. The man who has family, and
in most camps only men with families
are desired, has the habit of consum-
ing his wages the. day after he. earns
them. The company runs a store,
only at which he can get provisions
on credit, and to this store the ac-
count book is brought and his daily
necessities charged against his wages.
Every operator has absolute control
of the sale of all merchandise on his
ground or within his concession; he
keeps the store. he buys at wholesale
in the cheapest market. and retails,
in very small quantities. of course
at a profit of 100 per cent.

Dry Potatoes For Food.

Consul Frank S. Hannah sends a
report to the Department of Com
merce and Labor relative to some re-
cent experiments in the drying of
potatoes under the auspices of the
German Imperial Interior Depart
ment which may offer new field
for farmers. The potatoes are re-
duced by this process to about one
quarter Of their original weight and
can be kept in a good condition in
this compressed form for an indefin-
ite length of time. The military au-
thorties have made thorough expert
ments with this product and have
become convinced that it's nutritious
value is fully equal to that of corn,
and that the dried potatoes can take
the place of one-third of the former
ration of oats. The fact that the
potatoes are reduced to one-fourth
of their original weight brings about
a corresponding reduction in the
price of freight, so that it will pay
to grow more potatoes than has for
merly been the case.

One Phase or Education.

Different standards prevail in diff
ferent institutions. Certain older
institutions in the East have such
social prestige that they attract from
the Weather class young men and
women who seek a college decree
more for the social advantages TO be
won in obtaining it than for the
educational benefits il represents
No such complaint is heard in the
West. Higher education in the West
probably has been hampered more
BY lack of equipment and facilities
and money with which to retain
competent educators than by false
standards and methods.
1t is big question that these edu-
cational leaders have raised, for it
affects the future citizenship of the
country. Is it possible for our col
lege to train men who. when they
become officeholders, will not prove
TO be grafters, or when they become
congressman and senators will not
fight the battle of the protected in
terests against the people? To turn
out such men the colleges must edu-
cate them morally as well as intel
lectually, Education without moral
basis or principle is more dangerous
than ignorance without moral basis
or principle. The average American
has been able to hold his own intel
lectually with the rest of the world
in government. diplomacy. science,
commerce and industry can
you depend upon him to act only
and without fail on the soundest
moral PRINCIPLES in every instance?
