The special onion manure is the best fertilizer for this crop, as it contains every element of plant growth required. Onion growers commonly use super phosphate of lime or fine bone dust, but the best results in all artificial fertilizing are secured by the use of a complete manure. When stable manure is used it ohnuld bp old and decayed. T.'ie arti ficial fertilizer will tend to drive off the onion fly if it is scattered about the plants at the time this insect begins its dcpiedatious. New York Times. RICHNESS FROM THE WOODS. While it scarcely pays to haul rotten wood to the fields for manure, as the fer tilizing matter to be obtained in that way would scarcely pay for the trouble, and the matter would most likely bo full of insects, of which every farmer has enough already, still a considerable quantity of good mauure can sometimes be gathered from a piece of woods that is tor rough for cultivation. This may be done by hunting out nooks where leaves and twigs have been decaying for yors until there are accumulations sev eral inches deep of decomposed vege table matter. This does no appreciable good in the woods and is a valuable fer tilizer in the fields. (Xice-a- Week. THE FOOT OF A HORSE. The foot of a horse is one of the most ingenious and unexampled pieces of mechanism in animal structure. The roof contains a series of vertical and thin laminae of horn, amounting to about 500, and forming a complete lining to it. In this are fitted as many lamina; belonging tc the coffin-bone, while both sets are elastic and adherent. The edge of a o,uire of paper, inserted leaf by leaf into another, will convey a efficient idea of the arrangement. Thus, the weight of the animal is supported by as many elas tic apriugs as there are lamia re ia all the feet, amounting to about 4000, distrib uted in the most secure manner, since every spring is acted on in an oblique direction. Farm and Fireside. CARE OF THE STRAWRERRY BED. When it can be avoided it i not usu ally best to begin the cultivation until after the strawocrry plants are done fruit-, ing. If any weeds make their appear ance, and especially of the large coarse growing varieties, the most economical plan is to pull these up by hand. If the plants were properly mulched late in the tail or early winter this should be lefton; until after fruitiuz. These ought to be icmoved and thorough cultivation be' triven, destroying the weeds as thorough-' ly as possible and wor.iing the soil in a good tilth. This will give the plants a good opportunity to make a thrifty growth. This is essential if a good crop is desired next year. The more thoroughly; the work js done the better will be the result. JS'e;c York World. FRUIT Tl'.EES MUST ES SPRAYED. Professor IViiley, of Cornell Univer sity, says it is no louger optional with' farmers as to whether they spray their' fruit trees or not as a protection against the apple and other fruit-tree insects.' They must do it. Spraying for the coi lin mth should be done just as the blos soms fall ad the work must be th oug'aiy done. Three times will be ; -if-' ricient generally. He recommend this mixture for spraying: Six pounds of sul phate of copper dissolved in hot water and seven pounds of sal soda dissolved in trie same way. When cool mix the two and allow to sctt'e. This will be enough to rill a barrel. In applying it is very iaiportaut to keep the solution well stirrel, since the application of too strong poison to the leaves of the tree3 will injure them. It should be consid ered tne first duty of neighbors to see that their orchards are properly sprayed, because it will be of little avail for one to do so and to leave trees a short dis tance away untouched, for the insects' will breed there and overrun both orchards. JVcir York laiepeit'lent. IIO HNS MUST rt3 Horns on domestic cattle no longer serve any u-eful purpose, and to one w ho views beaut v ouly in usefulness they are not even beautiful. Western farmers are now using a machine for dehorning mature animals. It is done so quickly' and neatly that there is no longer any objection from cruelty in the process of getting rid of horns. Toe loss Iroiik maintaining useless horns is not confined, to the injury they do to stock, though' that is often serious. There is always great danger too and often loss of life of attendants from vicious animals, and especially from bulls. Stoke Pogis III. was probably the most valuable pro-i geuitor of Jersey blood, but becoming vicious he was fattened and sold for beef before his value was fully known. Had' i he been dehorned this valuable strain of j Jersey blood would not be nearly so. scarce and dear as it is, and the improve ment to American Jersey stoci'c from a few more years of service from Stoke. Pigos III. can scarcely be estimated. The dehornin0- ni-npe nr Koer. practised long enough to show that loss of horns does not injuriously affect ani- mais eitaer tor fattening or dairy pur poses, nor does it lessen the valuable characteristics transmitted their progeny by dehorned bulls. It is likely indeed that as horns are bred off cattle may be bred free from the vicious pro sperities that the constant use of horns must stamp upon character, and thus I transmit to future descendants. Bottoa L'iiucuior. THE 4irOINT OF CONFIDENCE." Most persons who undertake beekeep ing enter upon the work with some mis giving. Whiie they do not exactly fear the bees, yet there is at first an involun tary hanging back, a reluctance to handle bees more thau is absolutely necessary. Ueginners should wear not only a veil, but also gloves; many novices who see old beekeepers handle with bare hand try to imitate them like to appear pro fessional to go among the bec3 with a reckless air. Some of the most success- ful beekeepers have said that before fthe first year had passed they had almost de cided that there was something about them that antagonized the bees, and that they could do nothing with them. An acquaintance declared, in the fall of the first 'year, "I've had enough of bees. They will not accept me. It is useless to tell me that bees do not sting. They don't do anything else with me." Uut he decided to struggle through another year, for, in spite of many stings, he had a good crop of honey. iJefore the sec ond year closed he remarked that bees were as harmless as flies. What had brought about this change? He had reached the "confidence point," and the bees knew it, and recognized him as master. He had become so familiar with the work, so much interested in it, that he forgot self, forgot to jump, to jerk his hand away when a bee started to ex plore the back of his hand. Therefore, let every beginner faint not, but keep up courage and keep at the bees. Without knowing when the change takes place, he may reach the stage of perfect confi dence, and will make light of the stings implanted in his own faltering hand. -American Agriculturist. SHEARING snEKP. While sheep shearing should be clone a9 soon as warm, settled weather comes on, there is no advantage in doing it be fore thi?, and generaMy it will be best to shelter, for a few days after shearing, at night and on stormy days. Upon the way the work is done will depend the price that can be obtained for the wool, and a difference of a few cents per pound will often make a con siderable difference in the per cent, of profit. Cleanliness is an important item. All tags and dirt should be removed first. Select a clean place for shearing, so that the fleeces can be kept clean. If auy of the fleeces have burs of any kind in them they should be kept separate, as even a few burry pieces in a lot of wool will lower the price of the whole lot, and it is poor economy to make the best sell the poorest, as this is equivalent to sell ing the best at the price for the lowest. In shearing it is always an item to keep the fleeces well together. A little care in shearing and handling will make a considerable difference in this respect. Have the shears sharp ia order to cut clean and smooth. After the fleece is taken off spread it out evenly, with the skin side down, then fold fron each sido to the centre until in n long roll; then commence at the head and roll tight, and then tie with wool twine. This puts the fleece in good condition to be readily opened and examined, and the better price for wool put up in a good shapo will more than pay for the work required. With wool, as with nearly all far.-i products, the best quality brings the best prices, and to a considerable extent the quality is determined by the condition. While, if carefully tied up, there is littie wa3te in wooi, yet there is :i con-' siderable loss of weight by evaporation and drying out of the oil. Hence, us a rule, it is best to sell as soon as possible; after shearing, unless the prospects aro unusually good for a considerable lise in prices very soon. St. Louis Republic. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. A stylish horse needs a stylish driver. Pullets become hens after they moult. Oats, when ground, are best for liens, Fresh horse manure is excellent in a hotbed. Hens that lay vell are neither hungry nor fat. Give every one of your animals a warm, dry bed. A safe rule is to keep a hen as long a5 she is profitable. Apply manure where the roots of the crop can reach it. Almost any of the larger breeds are the best for the table. Hens with scabby legs should not be set, as it is catching. Red Jacket is the name given to a new variety of gooseberry. Oat3 and wheat are better food for laying hens than ccrn. Don't kiil the toads, they are too valu able as insect-destroyers. Kiln-dried sand will keep Koxbury russets perfect for a year. An open shed will be found beneficial at all seasons of the year. It is hard to market poor goods, and there is no money in them. When ycu set out timber trees, sec that they are well mulched. Sow all hardr annuals as soon as tho soil is warm and dry enough. As the weather beeomes warmer be careful not to crowd the fowls. Farming has become a race and a hot race, too; competition has made it so. The cities get the benefit of more than nine-tenths of all the farmers' produce. Try to arrange the poultry yards so that the chickens caa have the moruin" sun. Phlox drummondi varieties .s a rule, come true to name when raided from seed. Many of the ailments in the poultry yard arise either from cold or indiges tion. Sow peas, lettuce, radishes, etc., every ten days or two weeks for succes sion. Remember that the watermelon re quires more space than docs the musk melon. If a boy has not a natural love for the farm he will not stay oa it, nor should he be forced to. Supplying plenty of broken crockery ware will often keep the hens from mill ing feathers. Turkeys will thrive better if thev ran have the run of good pastures on well drained soil. Mark all eggs when set with the dat j, o that if eggs are laid to them thev cla be taken out. ENORMOUSLY HIGH SPEED.! THE ELECTRIC MOTOR AS APPLIED TO RAILROADING. A Test That Shows One Hundred .-nut Fifty Miles an Hour to be ty No Means Imaginary. Four years ago, and again about one rear ago. the New York Times published; th- news that a series of experiments vtas about to be made at Laurel, Md., to show the power of the electric motor to develop speeds that had heretofore existed only in the imagination. The idea was that Mr. David G. W.ems, who, though not an engineer, was convinced that transportation of passengers and parcels could be made by this means at a rate of 320 miles an hour. This was the first practical effort ever made to double rail way speeds. The results of the experiments that grew out of Mr. Weems's experiments at Laurel were kept profoundly secret for a long time, and, says the Time they were not made public until, at a recent meet ing of the American Institute of Elec trical Engineers, they formed the subject of a very interesting paper by Mr. O. T. Crosby, of the Sprague Electric Railway and Motor Company, who witnessed, and took an active part in, the subsequent ex periments. Having induced a number of men to subscribe money for the venture, Mr. Weems laid a circular track at Laurel two miles in circumference, with a twenty-eight-inch gauge, T-shape rails, wooden stringers outside the rails serv ing as guards. From the tics a vertical framework was built up on both sides of the track, with a crosspiece, to which uas attached a small T rail, head down, suspended over the middle of the track. This rail was intended to serve as an electric conductor and also as a guide. The locomotive was very simple. There were three axles carrying twenty-eight-jneh wheels, on which were hung a steel box sixteen feet long, twenty-four inches high and thirty iuches wide. On each of these axles it was designed to place a motor. The weight of the car was about three tons. A second similar steel box was connected to the motor car by a ball-and-socket coupling, the two being so flanged over that only one surface was presented to meet atmospheric resistance. Tne head and tail were pyramidal. The motors (500 volts) were made by the Sprague Company and the dynamo by the Edison Machine Works. When they wrre in place it was found almost impossible to start the car, and the re sults were disappointing, but other elec tricians having been consulted, it was found that a given speed could he ob tained with less current, if two motors were used instead of three, and conse quently the motor on the middle axle was removed. The two motors, it was tl'tn found, were able to produce a greater speed than the track could stand. To supply the current, contact was nrade between the upper rail and brushes of sheet copper set against the rail by springs. The return circuit was through ihewhrcls and rails, the steel casing being insulated from the axle by fibre places and washers at joints and bolts, hearings were of phoshor bronze and lu brication was by oil from an ordinary cup. The station was inside the circle, about 200 feet from the track. The generator was a seventy horse power Edison machine, driven by a ninety horse power, high speed, Iiall engine. Five or six speed observers with watches were stationed around the track, when everything was ready, and a cui rent of twenty to forty amperes usually started the car. Mr. Crosby managed the dynamo and Mr. IJ. J. Dashiell, Jr., the engine. Each run was brought to a sudden end by the failure of the track to serve its purpose. On three occasions the car left the track, once while running I forty-five miles per hour, once at eighty miles per hour, and once, the last time, at 115 miles per hour. The track seems to have been entirely to blame for these derailments, and each trial was followed by ;:n overhauling of the rails and road bed, requiring from a few hours to a week's work for four or five men. Oa this subject Mr. Crosby says: "Could the experiments have been made on a roadbed and track deemed even second class, according to steam railway stand ards of rail weight, etc., there can be v .uestion that without any other change, the car would have maintained for sev eral hours a speed of 120 miles per hour. Indeed, I know of no time limitation that would have arisen save that from a limited oil supply." The last derailment having injured the track and roadbed beyond repair, the Laurel experiments were abandoned, but Mr. Crosby and his assistants at once set themselves to the task of making new and more elaborate plans, involving a change from automatic control to control by human intelligence on a locomotive draw ing two or throe cars. A speed of 1"U miles au hour on a level was aimed at, with a locomotive and three cars seat ing passengers. The track was to hp standard gauge four feet S.5 inches and the electro-motive force was to b?. as high as the art of insulation would per mit. All the cars were to be to con nected as to present a continuous ex terior, thus offering a minimum of resist ance to the atmosphere. The problem of retardation for a mass of forty tons running at 150 miles an hour was a seri one one, and it was found that a pres sure of about pounds should be ap plied to ea?h wheel. This was designed to be produced by magnetic brakes, the form and dimensions of which Mr. Cros by has drawn in great detail. He esti mates that 7G20 feet will be the length of run necessary to come to a stop. Mr. Crosby has stated recently that it wiil cost about 300,000 to demonstrate the efficiency of the system her sug gested, and he adds that the amount Is now being raised, and that the trial will be made in the near future. In speak ing ot the subject a recent issue of the Flectriad World said editorially: With a solid roadbed and a track carefully laid with rigid and heavy rails, there is net the s-lightesi reason to doubt the practicability of speeds as high as 150 miles per hour. It is sometimes said that sobxly would care to ride at such a rate; but the same statement was made not so verv many years ago regarding the enoimously dangerous and altogether reprehensible speed of twenty-five or thirty miles an lour. It was then, as now. a question of track more than any thing else. With the locomotive there is a practical speed limit set by the permis siblc size of boiler and the amount ol fuel that can be carried. In the case of the electric motor, however, there w no difficulty on the score of supplying pow er. The ouly limitation is in the weight efficiency of' the motor itself: ano it is impossible to predict what thi3 might be 'It would certainly only be reached at a speed higher than has over yet been seriously contemplated. Electrical high speed traction is in the air to-day, and probably within a very few years wc shall be treatcd to a practical demonstra tion of its advantages cn a largt: scale. Its commercial suceess is presumably dependent on the radical nature of the improvement secured, and an electric railway between thin city and Chicago i.4- -...ill w.ln.n ihf. tunnin"- time from liiitu nuui".""-' r- J twenty-four to eighteen hours would have uo special reason to expect remaric able returns.

Stinginess costs more than extrava gance. The only real giver in the world is the cheerful -giver. The virtues and vices sometimes livo very close together. Nothiug but death can separate true friends from each other. A good name is a good thing to have, uut a good heart is better. You can't tell much about a man's gen erosity by reading his will. The man who tends the school of ex perience mast pay his own bills. There is a goad deal of pure laziness that goes by the name of sickness. Many men have ended by becoming scoundrels, who began by running iii debt. The hardest of all things is to get a man to stop and look himself squarely in the face. People who never worry do a good deal of missionary work that they don't get credit for. One of the hardest times to love an enemy is when he is prospering like a green bay tree. There are a good many different ways in which some men can manage to brag on themselves. A hypocrite is a counterfeit. A coun terfeit is one of the strongest proofs that there is a genuine. A man never gets so bail but that hs likes to hear somebody say there ii still some good in him. Self-deception is the only thing that keeps a good many people from being continually miserable. If you have any opinions of your own they will never amount to much as long as you are ashamed to father them. When you hear people growling about hard times you can make up your mind that they do not give as much as they ought to. Cheerful givers always havo plenty.
