ONIONS PAY WELL in IOWA
BY EARL ELIJAH, Iowa state College
Albert schutter of Scott county ha

Albert Schutter of Scott county has
demonstrated that the man with an
ambition to make money by growing
onions need not go to Texas or Cali
fornla to do it, but may succeed along
that line right here in Iowa He him
self harvested nearly thousand bush
els an acre from field of 10 acres
this past summer. and his profits were
not less than $4,000
In a letter to Prof A. T Erwin OF
Iowa State college Mr. Schutter says
of his experience: 81 harvested 12.257
bushels from 13 acres, or 943 bushels
of onions to the acre, which sold, on
the average, at 80 cents per bushel
Had let them all get ripe they would
have made over 1000 bushels to the
acre, but the first were very green and
went only $50. The high price is the
reason they were pulled green. The
best acre had went LOO bushels to
the acre. This may sound very large.
but 1t is the truth, because can show
the weight of every load hauled, and
the Is acres can be measured any time
"A topping record was established
In this field when Charley Stubbe. a
boy of seventeen years, topped with
a knife and filled $50 baskets in less
than nine hours, record that has
never been equaled in Scott county :"
Mr.. Schutter does not say Just what
his net profits amount to. but 1t is a
safe guess that they were large. At 38
cents per bushel the gross receipts
total 81 .65766. which Is $35S28 per
acre. A bulletin put out by the United
States department of agriculture on
the subject of onion culture Axes the
cost of growing under ordinary inten.
sive methods at from $50 as a mini.
mum to $3.50 as a maximum per acre
| Suppose 1t cost Mr.. Schutter $15s2S
per acre, he has cleaned up the neat
little sum Of 81 600 off of IL acres
Other men report large and profit
able crops of the same vegetable
Prof A. T. Erwin of the Iowa State
college horticultural department says
that several men have produced right
around 1000 bushels per acre. He ex.
presses the opinion that several sec
lions of the state might grow onions
probably. Heavy black soils that
are too heavy for orchards he believes
would grow onions and cabbages very
advantageously.
In regard to the areas adapted to
onion culture, the government bulletin
has this to say: THE onion IL excep-
tional in that it will thrive under a
very wide range of climatic and soil
conditions. The crop is grown to per
lection in the alluvial valley OF the
Nile river In Egypt. on the volcanic
soils and under the tropical sea
breezes of the South Sea islands, along
sandy coastal plains, in the irrigated
portions Of the arid regions, on sandy
uplands, and on reclaimed swamp
soils? There is perhaps no extended
area in the United States except the
mountainous regions, where the onion
cannot be successfully grown"

WELL OUTLETS FOR
The TILE DRAINS
BY PAUL BRADLEY,
Iowa State College.

The many inquiries received by the
department Of agricultural engineer
ing of Iowa state college concerning
the success Of the vertical system OF
drainage for farm lands has caused
Prof NJ F. p Costello of that depart
ment recently to make invetigations
in that line
In vertical system of drainage tile
drains are emptied into wells because
1T is not possible to find natural out
lets for them as in some river or
stream. Thus far 1t has not been pos
sible for Professor Costello to carry
'out any experiments with such sys-
item on the college farm, but he has
succeeded in gathering some data
which should be Of considerable bene-
mt to the farmers of the state.
In almost every case where the sub
isoil conditions are favorable it has
been found that the vertical tile drains
iare very successful. Near Gilmore City
1T il reported that about forty such
wells are now being operated, one of
which alone furnished adequate outlet
for $50 acres of land. Near Rolfe one
of these wells was drilled in 1895. 1t
lis about 100 feet deep and supplies an
outlet for 800 acres. From the latest
reports 1t is still very satisfactory.
In Humbolt county, r. c. Blair OF
Rutland has a well which has been in
use since 1893. 1t is about $50 feet
deep with the water level about fifty
fleet below the surface of the ground
land 1t supplies outlet for about two
miles of tile. Mr.. Blair reports that
there are about fifty such wells in his
.neighborhood and that all are being
used successfully. On the county poor
farm in that region. one well has been
found sufficient for 100 acres and 1t ie
claimed that It could easily accom-
modate many acres more. Many sim
1lar reports have been received and
with but few exceptions they show
that this type Of drainage is very sat.
1efactory.
The most successful of these wells
seem to be those which have been
made with a basin of considerable
width around them. The casing ex.
tends up above the bottom Of the basin
so as to stop any sediment which is
discharged from the tile and prevent
1t from washing into the we'll. The
depth Of these basins should be about
six fest 1t 10 considered best to have
the walls and bottoms made Of con.
.crete.
The data received also shows that
the vertical system would not be salts.
factory In all cases. The depth OF the
water table and tho character Of the
.subsoil should always be taken into
account before drilling the we'll. In
order that the wells may work prop
erly the water level in them should
always be considerably lower than the
water table of the surrounding soil

SYNOPSIS.

Francois Beaupre, a peasant babe of
three years, after an amusing incident in
which Marshal Ney figures, Is made
CheVaifer OF France by the Emperor Ma
poieon, IN the home of the lads parents
In the village OF Vicques, France, where
the emperor had briefly stopped to hold
council of war. Napoleon pTophesied that
1he boy might one day be a marshal of
France under another Bonaparte. At the
age OF ten Francois meets a stranger who
IS astonished when the boy tells him of
his ambition. Francois visits General
Baron Gaspard Gourgaud, who with
Alike. his seven-year-old daughter lives
at the Chateau. A soldier of the Empire
under Napoleon he fires the boys imag-
ination with stories of his campaigns.
The general offers Francois q home at
the Chateau. The boy refuse to leave his
parents, but in the end becomes copy
ist for the general and learns OF the
friendship between the general and Mar
qu1s Zappi who campaigned with the gen.
eral under Napoleon Marquis Zappi and
his son. Pietro, arrive at the Chateau.
Quis's son while the former goes to
America The Marquis before leaving for
America asks Francois to be a friend
of his son. The boy solemnly promises.
Francois goes to the Chateau to live
Marquis Zappl dies leaving Pietro as a

Francois loves Alike, and extracts a
promise from him that he will not inter

co.'s goes to Italy as secretary to Pietro.

seemed the last straw. The Austrian
officer demanded the Queens own
chamber for his chief, but when the
stewards wife told him the name of
the lady who was in the rooms which
had not been given up, he bowed deep
ly and said not : word. 1t was another
of that brotherhood scattered over Eu-
rope-the friends of Hortense; it was
an officer who had protected her years
before at Dijon.
So for week they lived side by
side with their enemies and only a
few feet lay between the Prince and
capture, for his room was next that
OF the Austrian general, with but a
double door between. 1t was life
of momentary anxiety, for the Queen
feared each time the invalid spoke
that they might recognize a mans
voice; when he coughed she turned
white. But at the end of the week
Louis was at last well enough to go.
He was to leave Ancona disguised as
one of his mothers lackeys, the young
Marquis Zappi was to put on another
livery, and over the frontier they were
both to change and be the sons of
Hortense travelling on the English
mans passport.

plan, Fritz?"
But yes, your Majesty" Fritz an
swered with his face alight.
And so the packet sailed for Corfu,
and all day before the sailing the
servants of Hortense moved busily
between the palace and the boat, car
rying luggage and making arrange
ments. And only one or two knew
the secret that Prince Louis Bonaparte
had not sailed in the packet but lay
tossing with fever in little room
beyond his mothers, carried there for
greater privacy by Fritz and the doc
tor.
Two days later, as the Queen sat
quietly by her bey's bedside, she heard
that the vanguard of the Austrians
had entered the city, and almost at
once Fritz came to tell her that the
palace in which she was staying had
been chosen for the residence of the
general commanding. The probability
OF this had not entered her mind: 1t

Bonaparte, to suggest way out. eff

suffering with the impotent desire to
help her. Tiff only the Austrians
might think Nthat the Prince were
gone" he stammered, and hated him
self for the futility of the words. But
the Queen stood with a hand half
lifted, arrested. Her blue eyes were
alive with the crossing and weaving
of swift ideas, and then with a catch
OF her breath she laughed at him
like a pleased child. Doctor, you are
very clever man." she said "'To
gether we are going to save the
Prince"
The vivacity of the schoolgirl of
Madame de Campan flashed for mo-
ment into her manner, warmed to sud
den life by the JOY OF hope. The doc
tor waited, enchanted, bewildered, to
hear his cleverness explained, but Hor-
tense did always the unexpected thing.
She shook her finger at him.
I'm not going to tell yOu," she said
"At least not till have to-not till
tomorrow at all events. But all today.
as you visit your patients you may
think that you are saving the Prince
from his enemies-and tomorrow you
may know how. Goodby, Doctor" and
puzzled and pleased, the physician
was gone.
Send Fritz 10 me-" the Queen or
dered. and a moment later the young
man who was for years the confiden-
tial servant of Hortense, who knew
more of the history of her middle
years, perhaps, than any other, stood
before her. Fritz, when does a packet
sail for Corfu" she demanded.
Fritz Rickenbach considered it his
business to know everything. TO
night" your Majesty" he answered
unhesitatingly.
You viii see that the luggage of
Prince Louis is on board, and that a
carriage is ready to take him there"
she ordered.
But yes, your Majesty" Fritz still
stood regarding her seriously. 1T is
a great happiness to me, your Majesty,
that his Highness is well enough to
travel"
Fritz knew perfectly that there was
a complication somewhere, and he
wanted to know what it was. His
curiosity was patent, but his deep in
terest in the affairs of his people
could not be an impertinence, and the
Queen smiled at him.
You shall know about it, Fritz"
she said. THE Austrians are COM
ing. The Prince can not be moved
II they take him, it means death. They
must believe that he is gone, and it
is for you and me to make them be-
lieve 1t, Fritz. You must get pass

that is easy today; you must engage
his place in the packet for tonight:
you must tell the servants-tell every
one-that the Prince goes to Corfu,
and you must see that the proper lug
gage is on board. 1t will be known

flashed a glance from under bushy

open door at the end, which gave on
the court of the inn.

But the game was out of his hands.
Quicker hands than his had caught the

landlord. Hide him, take care of him

There was the rush of flying figure
down the hallway, and out Francois
flashed across a broken line of dozen
dismounted riders, straight toward the
landlords horse held by a groom un-
der the trees. There was a shock of
startled silence as the impetuous ap-

across the court. Then there was a
hubbub of voices, and a mass Of uni
