Novel Place Cards.

The idea of using small photographs
of bride-to-be, pasted on decorated
menu cards, is not especially new, but
one girl hostess adapted the idea in an
original way.
She gave an engagement luncheon
to friend and had as guests only init
mate acquaintances whose photographs
she could easily get. Smart colored
fashioned Plates were then hunted and
attractive single figures cut out and
provided with strips of pasteboard at
the back to make them stand
The head of each figure was de
tached and in its place was put the
head of one Of the guests cut from a
small photograph. No names were used
on these place cards and much amuse
ment was afforded while seats at the
table were being found.

HORTICULTURE

GROWING ONIONS.
The Most Profitable Crop Which the
Farmer Can Raise.

For the new settler in Wisconsin,
whose area of cultivated land is small,
no crop can be more profitably raised
than onions. To the majority of farm
ers this will seem like an untenable
proposition, for it is said, by most of
those to whom this statement is made,
that in raising onions the amount of
labor involved reduces the net profit.
There is no question that this is true
when onions are raised by the usual
methods When, however, new meth
ods are employed, by means Of which
the greatest share of the labor Is elm
mated, the net profit becomes great
and this, too, from a comparatively
small patch of land
There are three conspicuous factors
which determine the profit in raising
a crop, says the Wisconsin Agricultur-
alist: the amount of land required
the amount of labor necessary, and the
price secured Two of these factors
may be Immediately dropped, for the
area of land required is small and the
price is usually good. There remains,
therefore the labor involved to be con.
sidered
AS the area of land required for on
ions is small the labor expended in
plowing and dragging is not great, nor
in preparing the crop for market is
there nearly so large an amount OF
work necessary as in preparing such a
crop as sugar beets. The principal Ia
