Word hobs up in the east that
John Z. Madden, famous Kentucky
horseman. plans to reenter the
thoroughbred game. Madden dis
posed of his immense and famous
stable during the war. If the dope
runs true the lure of the game has
proved too strong for him and he
has needed the call.
Madden has furnished thrills in
tine game for so year. He has been
a dealer. owner and breeder. With
cut a doubt he is one Of the biggest
figures in the sport.
He drew the spotlight for the
first time back in 1887 when he
started a horse called Glass Leader
in the Grand Circuit and set up a
mark of 2:22A with the gelding.
Two or three years later Madden
showed that he was in the game as
a dealer. too, by paving $4,000 for

How great has been his skill and
science is shown by the fact that in
his last two seasons Madden pro-
ddced 547 winners. almost twice as
many as his nearest rival.

principally as a running horse fan

rs SPRING
WITHOUT ONION?

A spring without an onion would
be as desolate as the old swimming
hole without the boys, says today's
bulletin from the National War
Garden commission of Washington.
Spring onions are not only tonic
but an aid to digestion and the sys-
tenn Graves them when the weather
begins to warm up. They are easily
grown.
Onions may. be grown from eth
err sets or seeds, but sets are best
because they are easier handled.
Use bottom" sets, those that were
grown last year from seed. A quart
OF medium size sets will plant about
100 feet of row. Plant them . or
3 inches apart in rows Is or more
inches apart, and give frequent
shallow cultivation. They will soon
be large enough for green onions.
Those not pulled for green onions
will grow into large bulbs by fall
and may be stored for winter. A
free garden book will be sent to any
reader of this paper who writes to
the National War Garden commits
sion, Washington. Enclose two cent
stamp for postage.
Large onions may be grown from
seed If given special care. There are
two ways to go about it. One way
is to SOW seeds in the seed box and
when the plants are half as thick
as a lead pencil transplant them to
the garden, if danger from frost is
about past. Set them three inches
apart in the row. with the rows any
convenient distance apart. Unless
the ground is moist they must be
watered. In the evening after
shower is the best time to do the
transplanting. Cultivate often dur
ing the season.
The other way is to plant the
seeds in the garden half an inch
deep, using one ounce to 100 feet of
row. Plant the seeds about two
weeks later than the sets. These
grow slowly. and require lots of
work to keep them free of weeds. |
They should be thinned to about
three inches apart. The thinned
plants may be set in other rows and
handled like those transplanteu
from the seed box With good Gull !
tivation these plants will grow into I
big onions by fall.
