Onions Good Crop
for Small Garden
Staple That Should Be Con-
sidered for Summer and
Winter Use.

Onions are one of the most generally
grown garden crops of the whole list
and yet very few gardeners produce
more than enough for green onions in
the spring, and possibly a few mature
onions for winter use. This is due
largely to the fact that gardeners are
In the habit of going to the seed store
and buying q quart OF onion sets,
planting them and calling the job
done. AS a matter Of fact, there are
onions for almost every purpose and
those that mature at different times
Of the year. First. the little multi
plier or top onions can be planted In
the fall and In cold sections given
little covering of straw during the
winter. Farther south they viii need
no protection whatever. These are
ready for use as green onions Just as
soon as the first warm days of spring
arrive and later produce sets TO be
planted the following autumn. Then
there are the old-fashioned potato
onions which multiply by division Of
the bulbs. These can be planted in
the fall or in the spring as desired,
and are used both as green and as ma
ture onions. They are very mild In
flavor and Of excellent quality.
Bermuda and Spanish onions can be
grown by sowing the seed in the hot
bed and transplanting the sets to the
open ground when they are about the
size Of a slate pencil and the soil is
In condition TO work. This is known
as new" onion culture. There are

lar summer onions such as Silver skin.

English Soldier First
Devised Elecfro-Mdgnef

A hundred years ago the electro
magnet was devised. Its inventor
was William Sturgeon, a soldier at
Woolwich, near London. He noticed
that soft iron was magnetic only
while in contact with steel magnet.
When he severed them the soft iron
instantly lost its attraction
1t occurred to him to place a core
of soft iron within an electric coil,
says the Detroit News. At once that
core became a magnet Of uncommon
strength. When he broke the cur
rent the magnetism Of the soft iron
vanished.
The American physicist, Joseph
Henry, greatly improved the device
Of Sturgeon. That inventor had
wound only one coil Of copper wire
around his iron core, using vsrnish
on the iron as a means Of insulation.
Henry surrounded the coil core with
several close coils covered with silk
thread, obtaining a much more pow
erful magnet than that Of Sturgeon.
From the very beginning Of teleg-
raphy the electro-magnet has been
the very heart Of the apparatus. A
momentary current is received from
distant station in a coil Of cop
per wire; that instant its soft iron
core becomes a magnet, and in at
tracing its armsture gives a signal.

Sweet Potatoes i'm
Thirty-Six States
Popular Tuber Should Have
Sandy Soil, Sunshine,
Plenty of Heat.

Sweet potatoes can be grown In at
least 80 states. according to the rec
ords OF the United States Department
of Agriculture. and there Is every rea-
son why n small planting Of sweet po-
tatoes should be made In every cottage
garden within those states, especially
where the soil Is Of q sandy nature.
While II IL true that the sweet potato
crop Is more or less uncertain In the
far North. yet II the season Is reason
ably dry and warm and the plants
given good start. they will produce
fair crop. II Is a great satisfaction
to have a supply OF sweet potatoes
grown In the home garden,
Sweet potato plants are started In
hotbed and Il Is generally easier for
the cottage gardener to purchase the
necessary 100 or 200 plants rather
than to grow them. The plants. how.
ever. should not be set In the open
ground until all danger Of frost Is past
and the soil Ia warm. Prior TO the set.
ting OF the plants the soil should be
thoroughly prepared. First, II should
be spaded and thoroughly pulverixed,
then drawn up into fiat beds or ridges

worked Into the soil as Il Is bedded
These beds should be about Inches
In height and 10 inches In width. or
sometimes they are made a foot In
height and rs inches In width. The
beds are spaced about 3 or 81 feet
apart, leaving rather deep burrows be-
tween them, The plants are set IL
TO 10 inches apart on the top OF the
beds and each plant IL given about
quart OF water around Its roots as II
Is set. The soil Is then well drawn
about the plants
Sweet potatoes want plenty OF sun
shine and an abundance OF heat. but
not too much moisture. The surface
OF the soil should be kept loosened
aud all weeds pulled out, bur aside
from this, sweet potatoes require very
little attention.
The crop should be dug just as soon
as the vines are killed by frost: In
fact, the potatoes should be dug be-
fore the vines are badly frozen. II

TN THOSE dear intimacies In the

and war, In our business relations with

life, the tongue plays the leading role.
And this II continues TO do from the

II Ia the most potential power for
good or evil, capable Of filling hearts
with the utmost Joy or breaking them

To suffer day after day under the
lash Of a tongue that Is continuously

often without any provocation at all,
In punishment which sensitive
mortals cannot long endure without
wishing for an early return to the

liable at any moment to topple over

the air for endurance.

their self-respect and the war 10 on

But the tongues whose tragedies

An affectionate wife waits years for

Losing hope. she fades away as q

TELLING YOUR BOSS

you In the second place.

think more of men who agree with
them than of men who differ.

hear them say that this Is what they
