STORING ONIONS FOR WINTER

l noticed last week a little account
of some method of caring for onions
which come from seed and are to be
dry bulbs.
AS to storing, we do not believe
there is anything ahead Of bushel
crate with Slated sides, ends and
bottoms They can be racked up in
to any place and take up less room
than boxes or barrels
Ventilation seems to be one I'M
portant point in the onion keeping
qualities and 1t is easier to keep a
bunch of onions in crates and yet
keep them warm enough to prevent
spelling. BY warm we do not mean
to prevent frosting; freezing does no
harm If there is slow drying out
process afterwards.
There is a mighty big difference in
kinds of onions as to their keeping
qualities. This season we will have
about 1900 bushels OF Yellow Globes.
All through they are as easy to keep
and harvest and sell as anything we
ever handled. AS best keepers they
are 1t. There is another sort brought
out during the last few years, called
Giant Gibraltar. They are juicy,
mild and good size. For starter in
the market they are unequaled for us
However, they will not stand the
grief that any onion must get. when
hired help gets to handling them.
think they will rot as easily from q
bruise as an apple.
AS to topping with the idea in view
of keeping or storing for winter, we
think the best plan yet found is to
clip the tops off in the field 8 or
days after the bulbs are pulled. II
is a great deal easier to do this work
out in the open and while the tops
can be found than after they are
dried down. Yet, since sometimes
people take the top off close to the
bulb there might be a difference.
but when the onion is topped from
three-fourths to one and one-half
inches from the bulb itself there is
just as thorough drying down as If
It was done two or three months lat
err The bulbs will sell better as a
general thing when part of the stem
is left orr. z. Rogers in Market

500 pounds of butter fat per year
The average price is about 80 cents
per pound. $50 for butter fat alone.
Add to this 5000 pounds Of skinned
milk at 90 cents per 100, $40, which
gives 500 as the gross returns from
the milk. Subtract from this $50
for the feed and care. and we still
have left $40 as interest on the in
vestment and as profit. When the
dairymen fully realize the import
ance of keeping only good cows and
when they realize the profits which
may be derived from keeping them,
the dairy industry is bound to de-

fought every inch of the way every

track which is always from three to
six seconds slower than a mile track,
and the slowest heat of the race of
five heats was 2:12. This the horse
men at Spokane said was equivalent,
in their opinion, to FIVE heats in an
average of 2:07 for a mile track, and

on duty, his kind employer sent him
upstairs to bed and called a physi

after having attended his patient, the

Widespread interest is being felt in
fifteen year old w. L. d. Stokes, Jr..
who within the next week will be-
come the owner of the Ansonia, the
largest hotel in the United States.
Ever since the hotel was opened 1t
has been owned and operated by his
father, w. E. d. Stokes, who was
shot and painfully hurt by Lillian
Graham and Ethel Conrad, two act
resses who demanded money from
him for the return of letters he had
written to the Graham woman some
years ago. Because of the notoriety
attending that case, the father re-
Gently decided to lease the hotel to
practical hotel men and turn over the
title of the property to his son.
Young Stokes is an exceptionally
bright boy. and is considered some
thing of an expert in wireless teleg-
raphy. When only twelve he APP
spearede before a congressional COM
mittee and electrified n number OF
elderly statesmen by his lucid and
precocious plea for the rights OF
amateur wireless eXperimenters. Al
the time a bill prohibiting amateur
investigators from setting up and
operating wireless stations was under
consideration.
The lad has had a complete wire
less plant on the roof of the Ansonia
for several years and when only
twelve perfected a wireless telephone
system which experts believe may
yet have some practical value. AT any
rate his wireless telegraph station is
practical and he has frequently sem
and received messages over distances
of hundreds of miles.
The boy is the son of the first Mrs
w. E. d. Stokes. who was Rita
Rita Hernandez de Alba de Acostf
before her marriage. She divorced
Mr. Stokes and then married Capt
Phillip Lydig.

The fear, expressed here In tho
spring and summer, that New York
would have no international wedding
of Importance to look forward to this
season seems to have been prema-
ture. Mr.. and Mrs. William Watts
Sherman, needing the importantly of
their daughter Mildred, have con-
sented to her marriage on December
9Th to Lord Camoys who is busy
completing arrangements for the
ceremony From all indications the
wedding will be quite as brilliant an
affair as was that of the bridegrooms
chum, Lord Decies and Vivian Gould
last season. 1t was While acting as
the best man of lord Decies that Ca
moys met and fell in love with Miss
Sherman, who 1t will be recalled was
one Of the bridesmaids of Miss Gould.
Whatever opposition there was on the
part of William Watts Sherman to an
early marriage has been swept away
and he is said to be now disposed to
do whatever his wife and daughter
desire to make the ceremonial the
one big feature of the early winter
season for society. Lady Camoya, the
mother of the peer, is expected to
come over for the marriage and it is
said will bring with her a number of
handsome presents for the bride.
Additional interest will be lent to the
nuptials by the presence of a distin-
guished company from Britain,
friends Of the bridegroom.

The reason for its failure to Keep

career is said by the management 10
be the refusal of the moneyed class
of amusement seekers to patronlze

candle at both ends. The Foliles
gave two entertainments every even
ing--one from $3.50 to IL ana the
other from IL to l a. M. IL was the

big money maker from the start, but
two persons, it is said, had to be
eiected from the house in the whole
time it was open. One of these was a
callow youth who, disliking the green
tights worn by one of the chorus,
fired a bun on the stage at her, and
the other, an elderly man who under

is a big relief, and they are wonder

selves much of the unpleasant noto-
riety heaped upon them by getting
married sooner. But for the daily
commentary on their engagement
and it's propriety in which every
body who had nothing better to do
took hand, they probably would not
have been married until this winter.
