SPRING ONION POINTERS
Some Practical Suggestions About
How and When to Plant Seeds
and Sets for Best Onions.

Onions may be grown in spring from
seed or from sets. However, spring
planting Of seed is not generally so
satisfactory and sets are recommend
ed for the man who neglected to plant
in fall and who wants early onions.
For best results with seed, plant
them in October, in order that the
plants may become established before
severe winter weather begins and that
the onions may grow off rapidly in
spring and mature early in June.
Still, if seed are planted very early
in spring and conditions are favor
able, they will make good onions, al
though they will be smaller and later
than those from fall-sown seed.
Onions should be planted on very
sandy loan. After the land has been
thoroughly prepared by deep plowing
and repeated narrowing, apply ferti-
lizer and manure broadcast and har-
row into the first three or four inches
of soil very thoroughly. Lay off rows
fifteen inches apart, plant the seed in
the drill, and cover the seed to depth
of one-half to three-fourths of an
inch. When the young seedlings ap-
pear cultivate frequently in order to
destroy weeds and maintain moisture.
Thin out the onions so as to leave
them standing three or four inches
apart in the row.
To grow onions from sets, prepare
and fertilize the land as when plant
ing the seed and plant the sets just as
soon in spring as soil conditions will
permit. Plant them three to four
inches apart in rows fifteen inches
apart.
White Pearl and Prizetaker are the
two most reliable varieties for this
region
Sets are more convenient for the
home-gardener, but for commercial
onion planter, seed-planting is to be
preferred, because onions grown from
seed keep better than those grown
from sets and because seed cost less
than sets.

To Starch Fine Lingerie,

Many housewives experience great
difficulty in laundering fine lingerie,
such as dainty waists, jabots, collars
and so forth. The chief difficulty
seems to lie in giving them just the
proner degree Of crispness. Rinsing
them in a solution of borax gives the
right degree of stiffness and renders
them just like new. Two heaping ia.
blespoonfuls of borax to five quarts of
water is a good proportion. This is
also excellent for thin dresses
trimmed with lace.

AN ELECTRIC HoRsEwHIP.

What is known as the electric horsewhip is an attachment provided for the ordinary buggy whip by which an electric shock may be ap- piled in such manner as to stinn- ulate the horse into greater ac- tivity without injuring him. The whip is supplied with two metal rings. When it is laid across the back Of the animal the two rings come in contact with his body. 4 fnger-spring in the handle of the whip starts the electric current sup piled by dry storage battery un- der the seat or in some other part of the vehicle. When this current is applied the horse receives 9 slight shock.
