In Onions There Is Strenoth,

Onions supply complete cure in

tablespoonful Of fried onions, and a
cupful of coffee. Luncheons of sand

seasoned with salt and pepper, make
the second meal on the schedule. For
the supper the onions may be fried as
for breakfast and eaten with a chop
and a baked potato. The efficacy of
onions is well-known to the singers of
Italy and Spain, who eat them every
day to improve the quality of their
voices and keep them smooth. Onion
plasters are prescribed to break I'D
hard coughs. They are made of fried
onion placed between two slices of old
muslin. The plaster is Kept quite hot
until the patient is snugly in bed, when

night. Onion strip is claimed by some
to be unequaled as a cure for a bad

ONIONS LIKE COOL WEATHER
Plant Will Stand Much Heat After
Making Good Start-Wll Not Keep
Unless Properly Ripened.

Onions grow best in relatively cool
weather and require an abundance Of
moisture during the early stages Of
growth. However, they will stand con-
siderable heat after they have made
a good start, and ripen better if the
weather is relatively dry at the time
they mature.
This makes them an important crop
in central and northern ATTITUDES,
where the weather of spring is cool
and moist, and dry period normally
occurs in August or in early Septem.
Der. However, the season must be
sufficiently long for the onions to ma
ture before the autumn rains set in,
or they are likely never to ripen prop
serly.'
Unless properly ripened, onions will
not keep. For northern localities it
is sometimes necessary to use only
the earlier maturing varieties.
The above statements refer to the
growing of ripe onions. Green onions
reach edible size in comparatively
short time, and can be grown during
the normally cool and moist weather
OF early spring in central and north
ern ATTITUDES. As a commercial crop,
they are Of minor importance com.
pared with ripe onions.

Lime in Wood Ashes Has Marked

There is an impression among the
farmers generally that a fertilizer

One cause of this is no doubt from
the marked effects that wood ashes
have on most soils.
A liberal application Of wood ashes
shows an improvement in crop produc-
ton on almost any soil. This is usually
attributed to the potash contained in
the ashes.
An analysis of the ashes usually
shows from four to five times as much
lime as potash in the ashes.
