One Of the most important things
in onion-culture is to mix the fertilizer

thoroughly drained, pillow In beds, leav-
ing double furrow between the beds
to carry off surplus water. These
beds may be rs to $50 feet in width.

condition for either seed or trans
planting.
The feeding-roots of the onion run
close to the surface, and should not be
disturbed by deep cultivation. After
a rain, break up the surface OF the
soil by means of a steel rake. AS
soon as the plants are growing well,
the cultivator should be started and
kept going, In order to keep the soil
in good condition, and to prevent
weeds.
The single wheel-hoe is an excellent
tool for this purpose. Some of the

New Ideas in Marklna Linen.

Fashion in marking linen changes to
some degree every season, so that let
tiers from half inch to four or five
inches long are permissible. A safe
rule for the conservative neediewom-
an to follow is: For tablecloths, let
tiers two inches long.
For napkins, letters three-quarters
of an inch long.
Sheets, two inches long.
Other articles are marked according
to the state of the embroidery But
the best method of marking linen is
a problem which presents itself very
often.
There are many ways to choose be-
sides the plain embroidered initial
stamped either in script or block type.
Perhaps the most attractive method of
working large initials is to en-
broider over fine net, cutting away
the linen underneath, so that when
finished it will give a transparent eff
feet that is unusual and beautiful. =
The work is not difficult, and can
be done rapidly by one who has any
experience in needlecraft.

RAISING ONIONS FOR MARKET
Avoid New Land, Get Pure Seed and

Rotation Is Best.
By r. g. wEATHERsTONE)

CBy r. G. wEATHERs TONED
New land is not adapted to onion
growing, and this crop should always
follow some crop that has been under
hoe, and free from weeds. Onions
should follow potatoes. beans or corn.
The land should be well plowed in
the autumn, disked and narrowed IN
the spring until it is as fine as gar
den-soil.
Always manure heavily before
breaking up the land In the fall. On
new land cowpeas are excellent for
bringing the land into shape.
Onions should be grown under

vegetable growers use for marketing

stow than box, as one can be placed
above another to any desired height,
the bottom of each serving as a cover
for the one below it. Vegetables can
be racked in it much easier than in
bas,et as it is of uniform width from
top to bottom, and no allowance need
be made for slanting sides, But these
advantages apply equally well to the

advantage because of the Slated
