Growing Spanish Onions.

An experiment carried out by the
New Mexico experiment station shows
that Spanish onions may be grown
with good success in that region. A
clear profit of over $3.50 was realized
from one-half acre of ground the past
season, the product being shipped to
the Chicago market. This does not
take into account about $500 pounds
of culls that would have brought at
least 1 cent a pound.

Reneht From Cowpeas.

Tt is interesting to note just how
the cowpea crop benefits the soil upon
which it grows and increases it's pro-
ductive capacity. In the first place
it does SO by increasing the supply OF
nitrogen, which it transfers from the
air to the soil by means of the bacteria

Getting Seed Corn in Fall.

If you made proper selections of
seed corn last fall and have kept it
well. you are among those to be con-
graduated and undoubtedly are the
envy of ~improvident farmers, who by
hit or miss methods are forced to use
most anything that is left for planting.

Milo for Feeding Poultry.

Many poltrymen prefer milo to
corr for feeding poultry. The seeds
are of convenient size for feeding, and
the composition is nearly the same
as that of corn. Dry-land farmers in
eastern Colorado state that in an aver
age season they can raise a ton or
more grain to the acre by planting
carefully selected seed and giving it
thorough cultivation. 1t is their
surest feed grain crop.

Corn silage is about the cheapest

Lord Rrouoham,s oratorv

We have no orator in the least like
Lord Brougham since the close of
Brougham's public career. Everything
that nature could do so far as appear
ance, manner and voice were concern
ed she had done to prevent him from
being a great orator, and yet a great
orator he undoubtedly was. I wonder
what the house of lords Just now
would think Of a peer who gesticu-
lated and beloved as Brougham was
in the habit of doing. But it was Inn
possible to listen to Brougham and
not be carried away by the force Of
his intellect, by his torrent of words,
by the sudden whirl and eddy of his
rapid illustrations and by the longer
and shorter stretches of quietude and
repose into which his argument occa-
sionally flowed.-From Justin McCar-

WISHB0NES.

On Their Shape Depends the Force Of
Birds Wing Strokes.
Scientists call the ''wishbone'' the
furcula, and it is the union of what
are in nan two collar bones. These
receive Tie brunt of the strokes Of the
wing that turn the creature in it's
fight.
Few Of us appreciate the strength
Of the stroke Of the birds wing. A
swan has been known to break a
mans leg by a blow of it's wing, and
in like n the wing beatings Of
the larger birds are dangerous if they
strike the human head or face. If,
therefore, q large bird is in the habit
Of making sudden turns to right or
left in its flight it must be fitted with
a "wishbone'. capable of withstanding
the great strain of the wing stroke on
the side when unaccompanied by
action on the other.
For this reason we find in the eagle
and birds Of it's class that turn quickly
a furcula that is a perfect Roman
arch, widely at variance with the
Gothic arch, which is the shape Of the
"wishbone' of IL common fowls. The
eagles furcula is everywhere equally
strong and lacks those points of weak
ness that. make II sport of breaking
the "wishbone" possible. - Harper's
Weekly.

West Point's Call For Cadets.

The authorities at West Point have
been at pains to advertise the fact that
there has been a shortage of cadets nj
the National Military academy the past
few seasons. But the current annual
report shows no improvement in re.
spect to the fitness of applicants. More
than 500 were appointed to take en-
trance examinations, and out of 3H1
examined 1913 failed Of final appoint
ment on account Of deficiency in edu-
cation.
The examination at West Point is
rigid. yet the requirements are not
high. Thorough knowledge, so far us
it goes, and accuracy are the chief
points in the prescribed qualifications.
Either the fundamental schooling Of
the. country is faulty or it is not rep
resented at its best in the candidates
for West Point.

4 skILLfuL SHOT.
The Way to Bring Down an Overhead
Incoming Bird.

The Way to Bring Down an Overhead
Incoming Bird.
One Of the cardinal rules of the old
time shooting school cautioned the
gunner against e trying to stop an
overhead incoming bird, but to wait
until 1t had passed by and to the rear
and then take chances on what is un-
dOubtedly the harder shot Of the two.
It is surprisingly how difficult it is
for some spOrtsmen to successfully
score on their incoming birds. Many
who can seemingly cope with game in
any other mode of fight will habitual-
~ balk at this shot and acknowledge
their inability to make it.
Yet once it's principle is understood
and the lesson learned the dropping
Of an overhead incomer Is as easy as
anything a we'll be. The miss is al
ways made by the sportsman shoot
ing under and behind the bird, and
there Is but III way in which the er-
ror is to be avoided.
To make the shot the gunner should
wait until the bird is about to pass
owe him, then, bringing up his gun,
follow in from behind, the bird
and swing in ahead of it and, main
tanning the same rate of speed, press
the trigger the instant the bird is hid
den behind the barrels. Do not stop
the swing of the gun and be sure the
bird shall have disappeared from
sight. If the shooter will observe this
rule he will be surprised how easily
and Invariably he will kill his bird
