IF you GROW ONIONS GROW
BIG ONES-THEY PAY BEST.
Other Important Points Are the SeIee-
tion of Suitable Varieties and
the Use of Good Seed.

A reader of the Iowa Homestead is
considering the question of onion grow
ing for next season He is thinking of
a four acre plot and asks about soil
and it's preparation. time to do it, time
to plant, best variety and probable
yield.
1t may be said that in all the list
of special crops there is none more
easily grown or more financially prof
liable when the requisite conditions
are met. A yield of $50 bushels is so
common that it may be called con-
servative expectation. And often ex
perienced growers having extremely
fertile soil and a favorable season
reach the 400 mark.
Any soil that will grow good corn
or oats will also grow good onions, but
there is a choice. An ideal soil would
be a rich leaf mold with an admixture
of one-third sand. Sod land if not too
heavy-that is, a loose, broken sod-is
all right and much preferred to old
land where weed seeds abound be-
cause of poor culture. Preparing the
soil properly should begin in the fall.
The man who wishes to plant four

acres of onions in the spring should
pillow up his soil land in September
and then disk 1t thoroughly in October
and then harrow it just before it
freezes up.
The reason for this is that the best
time for planting is in March as soon
as the frost Is out an inch and the
surface dry. Why plant SO early? Be
cause the onion makes its growth at a
low temperature, and 1t is practically
complete before the hot summer wealth
err If heat comes before the crop is
well grown the bulbs will be small.
The seasons vary, and sometimes
spring preparation brings very success
full crops. Plow the land just as soon
as frost is out in the spring. OF course
it must not be worked when wet. Disk
and harrow promptly. Let the surface
be so fine and smooth that it will re-
semble a garden bed. Seed at once.
Of course the soil must be dry enough
so that it will not stick to the seeder.
Spring is catchy weather, so there is
another advantage in making fall prep
aration. Decide just what kind of a
cultivator you will use, and put the
rows sixteen or eighteen inches apart,
as you need the room. Don't seed too
thickly, and then it is just as great a
mistake when you put in too little seed.
Test the seeder on the barn floor be-

GIVING THE CALF A sTARTZ
Three Things to MISUNDERSTANDING
of Milk, Quality and Temperatures

of Milk, Quality and Temperatures.
Nature has provided something in
the first milk that is very essential in
getting the Calls digestive machinery
started right, and L think it should be
permitted to have it. We usually leave
the calf with the COW a couple of days
until it is nicely Strengthened up. Then
comes the most important time in the
life of the calf, when we take upon
ourselves its feed and care, and here
is where we want to exercise a lot of
kindness and gentleness, for if we are
impatient and rough in our treatment
of it 1t will distrust and fear US, and
the chances are it will never forget
those first lessons and impressions. A
cow will never do her best unless she
has perfect confidence in us.
1t is an old saying that you can
catch more flies with molasses than
with vinegar, so you can do more by
coaxing than driving. When teaching
the calf to drink don't push its head
into the pail. Wet your fingers in the
milk and let it suck, and coax its head
into the pail, and usually the second or
third time it will drink of its own ac-
cord.
These are three essentials at this
time-the quantity of milk, the tenn
perature and quality. Calves are in
jured more by not observing carefully
these rules for the first few weeks OF
their lives than in any other way
The amount of feed also will de-
pend largely on the calf and some
what on the nature of the milk. This
amount must be determined by the
feeder, but this precaution is always
dvisable-better to begin carefully
and work up to what the calves can
handle rather than begin with large
| amount and get them off their feet and
then have to commence all over again

A Fra KindIer

The best fire kinder L have ever
used, says a writer In the Farm and
Ftreside, is a miners lamp, or small
torch, which costs 10 cents, wherever
they are sold. Filled with kerosene
and the wick placed high, it Will burn
for two hours with a large, steady
fame. It takes but a match to light
it and burns but a small amount OF
oil even If left to burn entirely dry.
Placed under a stove CRATE with its
spout projected up to the fuel, it will
light up coal In Ave minutes with only
a small handful of kindlings. It saves
time in lighting the fire, besides
matches, oil and kindling. 1t is very
useful as well in lighting fires out of
doors, in brush heaps, and the like,
where it is generally SO hard to get
fire started. A little care is needfuI,
or else its own heat and the heat OF
the fast generating fire will melt the
solder from its joints and s" make IL
worthless.

PRACTICAL POINTERS AND A
MAXIM OR TWO.

Follow a definite rotation SO
that q leguminous crop will fol-
low a nonlegume and so far as
possible a deep rooted crop fol-
low q shallow rooted Cfbrous
rooted plant By planning you
can practice a rotation that will
increase the yield and yet main
tain the proper proportion of
each crop.
Rusted machinery soon rusts
hole In your pocketbook-
Every farmer should be an ad-
vertiser and let his neighbors
know that he has good products
for sale. One of the problems
of present day agriculture is to
market economically crops, ami
mails and other products from
the farm.
Prepare your land for pasture.
Bermuda is good for this pur-
pose, and the sod may be started
In the spring. A good plan is to
check the land eighteen inches
apart and drop a piece of sod in
the check.
II mice and rats are allowed to
live they must live on some
thing and will be a loss to the
farmer. But don't let them live.

REAL ROBINSON CRUSOES.

Also Colonies of Shipwrecked Sailors
Descendants Found In Caribbean.
Percy R. Lowe had an unusual ex-
perience, which he describes In "a
Naturalist on Desert Islands" Mr..
Lowe is q member of the British Orni-
biologists union and spent six con-
secutive winters voyaging among the
islands of the Caribbean sea and the
gulf of Mexico in search of scientific
material.
The curious thing about these desert
islands Is that, although they are
known geographically for purposes of
navigation, they are politically and
commercially off the map. They are
lands primitive and for the most part
uninhabited.
Here and there Mr.. Lowe found a
single family living In Robinson Cru
soe-like style on an island. On others
he found fishermen making temporary
homes during the fishing seasons, and
on still others, notably the Caymans,
he discovered a scanty population, the
descendants Of shipwrecked sailors.
In speaking of the zest for primitive
lands as he experienced 1t on these
islands he says:
Their charm lay rather in their COM
plete privacy and inaccessibility, in the
sense of exploration that one expert
enced while on them; in the feeling
that they belonged to no one but the
birds and animals upon them; that as
far as any one else was concerned one
could go on them where one liked,
when one liked and how one liked.
One felt constantly inclined to thank
God that they were SO commercially
insignificant and generally worthless
that man had not swooped down to
improve them out of all recognition

SCHOOL INVESTMENTS.

Value of Educational Properties of
United States Doubled In Ten Years. Z
The amount of money invested In
schools in this country has increased
enormously during the last decade
According to Bradstreet's, the value
OF public school property, which was
about $3.50. 900 900 in 1900, had dou-
bled ten years later.
During the same period the annual
income increased from $500, OO0. 900 to
S425, O00, 900, while the annual appro-
priations to teachers grew from So.
769, 900 to S6,62O, 600. The average
length of the public school term was
extended from IA to 156 days. and
the average attendance of children en-
rolled increased from 90 to la days.
The public high schools, which num-
bered COOS in 1900, were 1928 in
number in 1910. The number of
teachers in those schools advanced
from about 10000 to more than 1900,
while the total number of public
school teachers increased from 423, 900
to 512, 900 in the course of the decade.
The salaries of teachers were aug
mented during the ten year period,
those of men teachers increasing from
$4,000 per month in 1900 to $65 per
month in 1910 and those of women
teachers from $34 to $50 per month
The number of pupils in high schools
showed a marked gain, numbering
900, 900 in 1910 as compared with 520,-
900 in 1900.
The productive fund of universities,
colleges and technical schools increas-
ed from $166,17F 900 to $273, 1926 900.
and the annual income of those inst1-
tutions from sources other than en-
dowment was augmented from $685.
SOC, 900 to SIT, 1900, 900 in the ten year
period.
The students in those establishments
grew in number from 10000 to 1885,
600 and the instructors from 1900 to
II 900. The New York Sun remarks
that in the higher educational tnstitu-
lions it viii be noticed the '1crease in
the number of teachers was proper
tionately greater than the growth in
the number of students.

WOMEN INDUsTRIALISTs
A SCHOOL FOR BRIDES

A boon for young women who marry
in haste, without having prepared for
the duties connected with keeping house
for two, was announced by the Marga-
ret Morrison Carnegie School For Wo-
men at Pittsburgh. The scientists of
this institution arranged a thorough
course for brides, and Miss Dorothy B.
Scott, assistant registrar, said it would
include instruction in all the attributes
necessary to make husband happy so
far as his purse and appetite are con-
cerned.
An additional feature was the an
nouncement that the course would not
interfere with household duties, but
might be assimilated by devoting the
few hours a week formerly given to
matinees and afternoon teas. The sub
jects include cooking from the boiling
of eggs and plain frying to the making
Of pastry, theoretical dressmaking and
practical shirt waist and sensible sew
| ing, millinery and garment designing.
The brides entire schooling requires
only one month.
| What's that? Sounds like cheering,
you say? Course it is! It's from the
fellows who'ye bought plain gold rings
in Pittsburgh.
oh, yes, you Pittsburgh girls, we ad-
