IN BOSTON MARKETS.
No Change in Price of Dairy Products,
Except That Cheese Is Lower.


Boston, June 5.--There is no change in
the local market for dairy products from
last reports, save that cheese is lower.
The primary cheese markets are easier
and that fact encourages buyers to delay
purchases; as receipts are increasing
steadily, dealers are obliged to make con-
cessions to keep supplies from pliing up.
Receipts of butter continue large, ana
the demand is only moderately active,
but prices hold steady, since the receiv,
ers are storing goods quite freely and
the amount of stock available for cur
rent use is in that way kept down. Re-
ceipts of hennery eggs are dropping OIL
steadily, partly because of the poor quail
ity of western consignments, and prices
are firm, with an upward trend.

FULLER'S EARTH IN 1911.
Greatest Production and Consumption in
History of the Industry.


Fuller's earth, the clay-like material
that is used principally as filtering
medium for oils, fats, and greases, IS
found in Is states, as shown by re.
port of the United States geological
survey on the Production of Fuller's
Earth in 1911" now going through the
press. In 1911 fullers earth was pro
duced, in but seven states, Arkansas,
California, Florida, Georgia, Massaehu
sets, South Carolina, and Texas, and
there were no unusual developments IN
the industry. New deposits are report
ed from time to time, but in man$ the
high standard of efficiency required IS
not found and only few OF the de-
posits are worked. OF the large num-
Der known deposits but i3 We're worked
in 1911 Some of the causes for the
small number OF workings, in addition
to the high standard of quality re-
auired, are inaeeessibility of the deposits
and lack of capital.
Notwithstanding the comparatively
small number of producers, the output
has almost steadily increased from the
small beginning in 1895, when but 6,oOo
short tons were reported, valued at SILL
40G, or SO a ton, TO 1911, when 4O.69I
tons were reported, valued at $685., l24,
or sg.4l a ton. The prospects for l9l2,
the report states, appear TO be bright
and the production for this year VIII
probably exceed that OF 1911. A mum
Der of deposits which were being ex-
plotted in l9ll win be producers in lel2.
The production for 1911 was 1870
short tons. or "a per cent. greater than
the output of 1910, and il was valued nj
sse. AIS, an increase Of 80 per cent. This
| is q per cent. greater than the produc-
ton and 81 per cent. greater than the
value reported for 1909 the maxi
mum output and value until 1911. The
highest average price per ton-S9.4
was also attained in 1911; the lowest
1872 was in 1904.
The imports of fuller's earth were also
the largest ever recorded both in guam
tity tis.224 short tonsl and in value
| (Sl43.5g4), so that the consumption OF
fnller's earth was 5S.92l short tons, val
ued at S526,7ls. OF this the domestic
production represented go per cent. OF
the quantity and 10 per cent. OF the
/ value.
Florida continues to be the Leading
state. In 1911 it reported 27,65s tons
valued at S265 ST., or $500 a ton. TINS
was 6s per cent, OF the quantity and o.
per cent. of the value of the entire out
nut and value. The other states II the
order of their rank in output ana

fornia and South Carolina. The aver

POTATO CULTURE.
Desirability of Planting the Seed Deep
Selecting the Soil.

In growing potatoes, my pet idea IS TO
plant the seed deep, so the crop will get
all the moisture possible. Let the seed
he at least four or five inches below the
level of the soil in which the potatoes
are planted. As a boy | could never see
any good reason for putting the seed
nearly upon the top of the ground anu
then raising immense hills around the
vines as they were hoed during the proc
ess of cultivation, and | certainly can see
no such reason to-day, writes NJ. Sumner
Perkins in the American Cultivator.
By all means get the seed in deep.
We need not cover them full depth when
planted, but leave the burrows to be filled
in gradually during subsequent cultiva-
tons. Do not hill the potatoes up much;
lust round the earth about the vines
sufficiently to keep the tubers well COW
cred over. Soil suitable for potato grow
ing must be well drained and when this
has been done, either naturally or arti-
ficially. it IS very important. this plant
ing deeply so the roots will form well
down deep in the moist, cool soil, which
makes ideal conditions for the production
of large tubers in abundance. This is
the principle OF so-called trench culture
of potatoes. Happily we can perform
now nearly all the work of cultivation
and harvesting by machines run by
horse power, thus doing away with the
costly and tedious hand labor. In grow
ing all crops We must cut down the

ONIONS THE YEAR AROUND.
Directions For Continuous Supply-Lim'
itations of So-Called "New" Mode.

Onions are one OF the most popular
of vegetables, and it is not difficult for
the small grower to produce an all
tie year round supply on q small piece
of ground, writes w. n. Craig in the
American Cultivator. The ground can
hardly be made too rich; COW manure
with some SCOT added is extra good as
fertilizer. The ground must be pre-
pared and the seed planted just as soon
as possible after frost has left the
ground and it has sufficiently dried ous.
For the earliest crop plant small sets;
we prefer the yellow ones, four inches
apart in the rows. Very small sets
are the best; those from one-third inch
in diameter upward will largely run
70 seed. We like to roll or tramp the
onion ground before drawing the drills,
which can be IL inches apart, giving
another tramp after covering the drills.
Just as soon as the seed shows, start
cultivating, and keep at it constantly
until the tops are so much grown as
TO prevent it; also weed the rows care
fully. especially after rain, when they
will pull up most easily. 1t is no use
planting this crop unless this matter or
wedding is religiously attended to. The
so-called new onion culture was in vogue
in Great Britain half century or more
ago 1t consists of sowing seeds in flats
or in a cold frame late in February
or early March, and transplanting the
seedlings in well-prepared ground about
April 20. This mode of culture is not
to be recommended where onions are
wanted through the whole winter. For
this method of culture Ailsa Craig and
prizetakers are excellent. For sowing
outdoors Danvers yellow is the onion
par excellence; Prizetaker, Australian
brown and red Whethersfield are all
GOOD.

a DANGEROUS Dive.

In his "reminiscences of fifty years or
naval life Admiral Kennedy tells this:
IAN absurd adventure happened to two
of our men at the opera. They were in
the gallery and were both considerably
the worse for liquor, when one of them
fell over the railing into the pit. His
chum, under the impression that he
had fallen overheard, took off his coat
and dived after him. Wonderful to re-
late. neither of them was killed. One
broke his leg. the other was unhurt."

expense of culture to the lowest possible

expense of culture to the lowest possible
mark.
In selecting soil for potato culture.
new land or land recently in grass and
clover affords ideal conditions for the
growth of the potato. The second season
after blowing up the grass or clover is
much more suitable for potato culture
than the first, as obviously we cannot
plant the seed deep on a new, tough sod
but year or two, first in corn culture
will tame the sod so as to fit it admir-
ably for the potato.

VERY SERIOUS MISTAKE
 OF RODOlFO ATHON
Damaging Story Against Him by a
 Little Girl

Eodolfo Athon made a most serious mistake when he entered into an il- licit relation with fourteen year old Charlotte Moline for he found himself in jail yesterday charged with con- structive rape, with the detailed ad
 mission of the girl against him.
 Her flight from home led to the discovery of the part of Athon in the affair. The girl disappeared on Sun day night and her parents reported her absence to the sheriffs office. She was found and taken to the county jail where Sheriff Adams questioned her. She positively re-
 fused to go home without offering any reason why. She said that she had been well treated there but she would not go back. This and other things led the sheriff to believe that there was a man in the affair and she was taken into juvenile court for, if she would not go home, she would have to go to the reform school Her replies to questions by Judge Phillips confirmed the suspicion of the sheriff regarding the man and yesterday morning the sheriff induced her to
