When deprived of leaves all plant noon perish, and the worst weeds are thus destroyed effect-ually, if the leaves are entirely pre-vented from growing, lint if the land iM plowed deeply and the roots are broken up and scattered by the plow, every piece begins life anew, and in place of one plant there are scores to lie attacked. It is obvious, too, that it is necessary to do this before the plants are in blossom. The Cheapest Meat. Most farmers know that young animals grow faster from the food consumed than they do after they pass tueir second year. With pigs and sheep a shorter time suffices to attain limit of profitable growth. The meat of lambs is higher in price and has cost its owner less to produce. Sheep for breeding may be kept five yeai-s- . After that they, too. should be fattened, as keeping longer will result in more or less dying every year from indigestion, as their teeth become poor. Young hogs that weigh 150 to '2W pounds find ready sale, and at better prices per hundred than the overgrown porkers starved one year, when there is most profit in good feed-ing, and fattened the next, when there is least. Potato Culture. Some of the lessons drawn by the American Agriculturist from the im-mense crops of potatoes grown in competition for prizes are: That cut-ting the seed-potato- into seta with two eyes each gives most general satisfaction; that large or medium-size- d potatoes are best for planting; that the sets should be slightly sprout-ed before being planted, although they should be cut before the sprouts have started; that planting should be delay-ed until settled weather; that placing the sets directly upon stable manure is bad practice, and that concentrated commercial fertilizers are better as a rule than stable manure. FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. THE WAY TO CROW ONIONS FOR LARCE PROFIT. Flrat Lemon In 111 Crop The t'anada Thistle a Moiloua Weed Butter Making IlinU for j tI the Household. ; Onlona for Profit. In a letter to the Practical Farmer, a writer tells of a novel method of grow- - ing onions. He has tried his plan in an extensive way and claims that the method now proves to have exceeding- - ly valuable features. The expenses of the crop are alniut the same in this as in the old method, but the outcome is j vastly more satisfiietory. On fairly suitable soil and with fairly suitable treatment, a large crop of uniform. per- - feet bulbs is made almost absolutely certuin, and a crop of 2, 000 bushels of such bulbs per acre is w ithin easy reach of even the unskilled grower. We grew onions, last season, says he. over w hich the neighbors, and the dealers, and the people who bought them, have grown enthusiastic, and it was an ex- - j ceedingly poor season at that. The onion grower who could succeed in making his chosen branch of truck farming pay him in the old way. may easily double and treble his profits by adopting the new method. I am not the only one who has made this experi-ment, either. I do not wish to urge anyone to rush into this new thing by the acre. It will be much safer to try a small patch at first, and learn by ex-perience how the larger one should be managed. First get a couple of packages, or an ounce of seed. I think Maule's Prize- - taker is just the variety for this novel method. One seems to be specially j made or invented for the other. Still other varieties White Victoria, Span-ish King, and other largo foreign sorts may be used, although most of them are poor keepers. Of ordinary sorts I would recommend White Globe and Dunvers Yellow for trial. Now get a hot l ed or cold frame in readiness by end of February or early in March. A one-sas- h bed will be sufficient for the one ounce of seed. Mark out seven or eight furrows, up and down the bed, rather shallow: then scatter the ounce of seed evenly over the whole surface, fill in the little furrows with the or the back of a steel rake, and thoroughly firm the soil. This seed-bo- d requires very little attention, save an occasional watering, and a little ventilation on clear, hot days. The young onion plants soon appear, and will be ready for setting in open ground in from five to eight weeks after sow-ing the seed. It is advisable to break the crust betw een the rows occasionally, and pull up the weeds, whenever they threaten to become troublesome in tho rows. The aim should be to have the young plants about 3-- of an inch in diameter at the time that they are to be planted out. and this should be as early as soil and season will permit. The transplanting is the real work in this style of onion growing, but al-though quit formidable where the crop is thus grown by the acre, it is SUKtfHtliiliA About tthenp Itatslng. Sheep are the most delicate feeder of all domestic animals. When the weather is warm they are especially liable to be off feed, and unless their owner is extremely careful they will be cloyed and refuse to eat as they should for several days thereafter. Sheep do not need ground feed. They can digest whole grain better than any other stock excepting poultry. But a portion of wheat bran in their feed and whole oats will greatly lessen the danger that they will become cloyed. Potash for Peach Tree. All kinds of stone fruits are benefited by potash in any form. The peach has a larger fruit and larger stone than any other, and is, moreover, grown most often on sandy land that is usually deficient in potash. It is reasonable to infer, therefore, that applications of potash in any form are especially val-uableor peaeh trees. In many cases they have promoted a healthy growth on otherwise poor soil that has pro-tected the peach tree from the yellows, or has cured it after the disease has begun to do its work. hardly as tedious as the first weeding usually is. and gives us a chance to put each plant just where we want it, ynd at just the proper distance apart from the next, besides relieving us largely of the disagreeable task of hand weeding and thinning. Subsequent treatment will be described in another letter. Household Hint. In baking cake butter neither tin nor paper, and do not remove the pa-per till the cake is quite cold. Wood finished in oil is easily kept in good condition by occasionally rubbing it with a cloth wet with kerosene. Don't try lotions that you read or hear about on the face; if you must ex-periment study the effect on your arm or knee. In purchasing canned goods it is a safe rule to observe whether the head of the can is concave, a bulging ap-pearance being indicative of decom-position. If the throat Is very sore wring a cloth out of cold salt and water and bind it on the throat tightly when go-ing to bed; cover it with a dry towel. This is excellent. Don't try to do without a cake of white castile soap, a bottle of glycerine or cold cream, a box of borax or spir-its of ammonia to soften the water for the weekly cleansing. The best way to shrink wool goods is to wring a sheet out in cold water, spread the cloth on it and roll thom together. This will prevent any shrinkage of the dress. Before using new earthenware, china or glass, place it in a boiler of cold water and salt, and let it gradually boil and then slowly cool. It is less liable to crack if thus treated. Butter Making. In an address before a farmers' in-stitute at Delhi, N. Y John Gould, of Ohio, said: "There is a call for one kind of butter the best. Yet there are more than 200 varieties sold in the market. Every lady who makes butter leaves a photograph of herselfupon It, a reflection of her skill. There are only five simple rules to be observed, to suc-ceed. The man is just as responsible for the quality of the butter made as is the woman. When the milk comes into tho house the butter is half made. Flavor of butter is not dependent much upon fetid. You cannot feed flavor into a cow's butter fat. Any food a cow can digest and assimilate does not affect the flavor of her butter. Market flavor is artificial tho result of acidity. Milk and feed regularly. Have stables so constructed that there will bo no odors in them. A man who will allow odors in his stables is an odorous farmer. You cannot feed richness into a cow's milk, so do not feed a poor cow. Get milk into the puns as soon as possible after it is drawn from the eows. The best creamery to-da-y is an eight inch shot gun tin can placed in another can of water, and which any tinner can make. All the money you pay more than that for a creamery Is lost to you nnd goes into the pockets of some patent right man. Milk diluted one-thi- rd with, water, and set at 90 deg., set in shot gun cans placed in water at 60 deg., is the best creamery ever devised. Three-fourth-s of a pound of butter in every 100 pounds of milk will be lost if the milk is allowed to fall 25 deg. before setting it. Skim milk before it sours. Four hours before you can de-tect acidity in milk, cream ceases to rise, no matter how much there yet re-mains in it-- Aroma is developed in acidity, and that acidity is actie acid, acting upon the butter fat. Preventive Against Moths A small piece of paper or linen, moistened with turpentine, and put into the wardrobe or drawers for a single day two or three times a year, is a preventive against moths. People who are troubled with itching eyes should remember that the best treatment is to use a cool, weak suit water wash every few hours. If this does no good, go to a physician who makes a specialty of eye diseases. For dyspepsia pour one quart of cold water on two tablespoonsful of lime; let it stand a few min-utes; bottle and cork, and when clear j it is ready for us. Put three table-- ; spoonsful in a cup of milk, and drink any time, usually before meals. ' To Drive Away Rats Chloride oi lime is an infallible preventive for rats, j as they flee from its odors as from pestilence. It should be thrown down their holes and spread about wherever they would be likely to come, and should be renewed once a fortnight. All articles of clothing should be changed as frequently as possible. Especially should wet garments be re-placed by dry ones as soon as oppor-tunity offers. Cases of arsenical pois-oning have occasionally been observed as a result of wearing goods in whose coloring matter arsenic is found, j Green colors are most suspicious in I this connection. Canada Thiatlea aud Other Weeds. The Canada thistle is a type of one of our worst weeds. It is a perennial plant and increases by its creeping roots, every fragment of which will produce a new plant, nnd its seeds, floated by its light plumes, spread with great ease far and wide, us they are carried by the winds here and there. Consequently it is one of the most diff-icult of all weeds to exterminote. But yet it may be subdued by vigorous and persistent work. To prevent spreading by the roots it needs to be plowed with a sharp plow and a shallow furrow, that the stems may be cut iff above the actual roots, leaving these to perish A BRAVE MAN'S BLUFF. How Col. t'haves Stampeied a Baud or A parlies- - Away back in Wi news cinia to the ranch of Col. Manual Chaves, at Los Ojuelos, New Mexico, the match-less riflo shot and Indian fighter, that a bund of twenty Apaches had swooped down upon the Rio Grando and stolen 2D0 head of horses and mules, with which they were fleeing toward the Manzano raountaines. A force of set-tlers were in pursuit but the Indnins had a long start and were well armed and mounted. Should they once reach, the Sierra, further pursuit would suioidul. Hidden behind rocks and trees they could pick oil their pur-suers with absolute safety tu them-selves. There were no other man in tha house save his dying but without a moment's hesitation Don Manuel saddled his pet swift mare, and with his deadly rifle across the saddla bow galloped off alone to meet a score of the most fearful of all savago war-riors. Riding southward to the top of a wooded ridge, he soon saw tha Apaches coming toward him. When they were near he charged boldly out at them, signaling behind him as if to a force hidden inihe timber. The In-dians, unable to fathom his audacity and supposing that of course he had a strong force at his backso that they were in danger of being caught be-tween two fires scattered like quail into the mountains, leaving the stolen mules to be recaptured by the pursu-ing Mexicans who were closo behind. In returning home from this adven-ture wherein his nerve had saved $10,000 worth of mules to his friend Don Cristobal Armijo Don Manuel's mare stepped into a prairie-do- g hola and fell upon him, crushing his leg frightfully. Ho was three months in bod, but ultimately recovered full usa of the leg; and the courage and cool-ness which had so long distinguished hira still made him a terror to the hos-tile tribes of the Southwest for mora than a decade longer. battering rams of their fists in the name of the Lord.

If I had a dozen boys to bring up I'd train 'em all to fight. Not as John L.

A MYSTERIOUS WIIISPEIL STRANGE WARNINGS OF DAN-CER AHEAD. A Number of Authenticated Aeeouilta of p,eaeutlmenta whlrh have fcaved i I.lvea A llambler's Peru- - liar guperatltlona. I want to tell you a story," said I):'. Moliere, a well-know- n physician of San Francisco. 'Tin not a super- - stitious man. nor do I believe in dreams, bu. for the third or fourth time in oy life I was saved by a premonition. I got aboard car No. 81 on the Sutler street lino at the ferry yesterday, to ride up to my office. As usual. I walked to the forward end of the car. took a seat in the corner with my back to the driver, and. pulling a (Kiper from my pocket, was soon deeply engrossed in the news. Suddenly something said to me, (Jo lo the other end of the car.' Acting on impulse. I changed my seat, and so rapid were my movements that the other passen-jjoi- 's in the car noticed them. Remem-- ber. I was sitting in the first place with my back to the driver. I was paying no attention to anything but my news-paper, and the premonition, if I may so call it. could not have come from any outside iniltionco, such as seeing approaching danger, but, sir, I hud n p boon in my new seat more than live seconds when the tongue of a heavily-loade- d wagon crushed through the side of the car just where I had been first seated, and had I not changed my seat my back would have been broken by the wagon tongue. As I said,'' continued the doctor, 'I am not superstitious, but the in-cident I have just related, taken in connection with other incidents of a similar nature occurring in my life, make mo believe in spite of myself that there is a 'divinity that shapes our ends, rough-he- them how we will.'" In answer to a question as to what similar warning or premonition of dan-ger he had ever received, Dr. Moliere said: "Well, one time I was riding on the Michigan Central railroad. It was a bitter cold night, and when I entered tho car my feet seemed frozen. I walk-ed forward and took a seat next to tho stove in the forward part of tho ear, putti'.g my feet on the fender. In a short time a gentleman changed his seat and came and sat beside me. The train was running at a high rate of speed, and the draught soon made the boater in the car red hot. Suddenly there came to me a premonition of danger, and. turning to my companion, I said: 'If we should meet with an accident, a collision, for instance, you and I would bo in a bad place. We wo"hl certainly be hurled on a red hot sto&.' At the same instant, and te-fo-re my seat mate could reply, the im-pulse to grasp the end of cho seat came upon tue so strong I could not resist it and hardly had my fingers closed upon tho rail of the seat when there came a crash and the car we were in was thrown violently from the track. I clung to the seat, and my companion, when thrown forward, narrowly missed the stove. My position in the seat was such that had I been pitched headlong as he was I could not have missed the heater. A broken rail caused the ac-cident, but what caused me to grasp the seat as I did I would like to know." ' Speaking of Dr. Moliere's story to a sporting man, the latter said: "Well, I've had the same sort of experience once or twice in my life. I'm supersti-tious. I admit it. Of course fellows laugh at me, but for all that I believe I've got some sort of a guardian angel that whispers to me when I'm in dan-ger. Maybe it's one of the wrong sort, for they do say the devil cares for his own; but wrong or right as to kind. I know one thing certain, that my life has been saved more than once. One time I was at a race course and was up in the grand stand. I was broke and wanted to keep away from the boys. There were not many people on the stand; it wasn't half filled, but suddenly I felt an impulse which fairly drove me out of the place. I had not got clear down the stairs when the whole stand went down with a crash, and the fellow who was sitting right next to me was crushed out of all semblance to human-ity by a groat big beam that smashed the whole row of seats we were in. That is not the only timo that I have been warned, and if the whaWs-i- t would only whisper to me when I go to put my money on the wrong horse I'd be a millionaire in a month." THE IDEAL CIRL. She Cannot Help Hrloff a I.lfr llrlg-htene-to the World. The ideal girl is God's sweet promise of a perfected womanhood. We all know her. There may be clouds with-out and within, yet when her bright face looks in at the door it is like sun-shine after a summer rain. In some strange, sweet way she seems to bring with her the beauty of dew-lade- n flowers and the robbin's song of wel-come to the returning sun. She sets us dreaming of the days when life's heaviest burden was the finding of pleasures to beguile the long mid-summer days. Again we sit by the brook in which, forgetful of maternal warnings, we converse with the sleepy-eye- d violets and the wee finny people of the brook. Again flowers and birds have souls and wo understand their language all because this ideal girl, whose every word and look is instinct with the soul of nature, has come into our room and brought with her the child's soul and the child's happy faith that between it and every living thing there is a subtle bond of sisterhood. (ioing down Washington street the other day, says a writer in the Chicago Tribune. I saw the ideal girl. An old colored woman, bent with suffering and poverty, was walking painfully along the slippery sidewalk and suddenly lost her footing, and her basket and parcels were scattered beneath the feet of the hurrying pedestrians. Some men whose neckties were whiter than their hearts laughed as they stepped gingerly over the scattered parcels. Rut just then there came along one of my ideal girls, so young and beautiful that the white-cravatt- men impudently turned around to look after her. She stopped beside the prostrate wo-man, helped her to her feet and gath-ered up her scattered parcels, and all so quietly and quickly that the woman stood looking after her in wonder as if she were an apparition. The old colored woman may have crooned out to her what she looked bless you" or it may be even in this Christ-ian city she had never heard tho name of God; but we may be sure that with her wearied and darkened soul there flashed a ray of divine light and love that warmed and quickened whatever germ of good were latent in her heart. Sknatok MoKtiAK, of Alabama, de-clares the seals which bear their young in American waters and live there during certain months, are as much the property of the United States when out of her waters as his pigeons are still his when they fly from their habitation in his barn to his neighbor's roof. This is a new view of the Behring Sea controversy. Episov, the electrician, has more tho look of a country grocer than a man of science, and he can cheerfully submit to be bothered by a lot of children without showing any annoy-ance at having his mind abstracted from deeper studies. And he is just as happy patching up the fractured inhabitants of a child's Noah's ark as he is when trying to make the tele-phone a machiue. Ik Willi im wants Europe disarmod, example, however, would be more likely to persuade than precept. He can tell half a million men to quit bar-racks and fortresses and go to digging for a living instead of eating, drinking and doing nothing at the expense of the industrious overtaxed. Were he to give a command of this nature, he might find himself vexed with anew problem where the half million wouli find pay digging. A Farmer Who IHdn't Want Any Soap. "You can either beat a farmer as slick as grease or you can't beat hira. at all," said the patent hy fork man as we were talking about his adven-tures in the rural regions. "That is, he is either gullible or oversuspicious. Some will refuse a good thing and some will snap at a swindle. I think I can illustrate my declarations right here, or at least one of thorn. Tho man in the seat over there is a farm-er." "I should say so." "And he's one of the sort who sus-pects every stranger. Watch me try Mm." ' He took a cake of toilet soap from. his satchel and going over to tha farmer saluted him in a pleasant man-ner, and added: "I have a new make of soap hera which I am introducing to the public It is worth fifteen cents a cake, but I make the price only five." "Don't want it," was the gruff reply. "With every cake goes a $5 green-back, a gold bracelet, the deed of a town lot In Kansas, a pocket knife, a pair of s, and a solid gold ring. "Don't want 'em sir!" "As I want your opinion of the soap I will give it to you." "I won't take it!" 'But, sir, in order to introduce it into your neighborhood I will give you 100 cakes free, and at the same time leave five watches and five deeds to town lots." 'Look-a-here- !" shouted the farmer as heju mped up and spat on his bauds. "You go away from me or I'll mash, you! I'm on to your tricks, old man, and if you think you have picked up a hayseed, you are barking up the wrong reef." And the hayfork man had to move lively to escape the blow levelled at his nose. The pooplo of the western states probably earn as much and save as much as those of the eastern states, but they do not put so much of what they save in bank, partly because there are comparatively few savings Institutions in tho west and because working puople hava less confidence in such institutions, but mainly be-cause the opportunities for making advantageous investment of small savings are much bettor in the west. "Tub secret of a successful photo-grapher, " said one who knows, "is in making pictures that flatter the sub-ject. No person wishes to have a pic-ture which accurately represents him as he appears to other people on the street. Each man or woman has a certain mental impression of his or her appearance. It may. and proba-bly does, differ from the reality, but in order to please him his photograph must not show the crook in his nose or the slight in his eye. He Watehed the Autopsy. A coroner sees many curious sights. Deputy coroner was telling of a circumstance that came under nis no-tice recently, says the St. Ixmis Say-ings, that surpasses anything ever heard of in the way of heartless in-difference. He was called to investi-gate a case where a man's wife had died very suddenly. It was plainly a case of heart failure, but the husband insisted upon an autopsy. He not only wanted tho autopsy, but he wanted to see it performed. The body was placed on a table and the doctors began work. The husband watched every movement very closely. Finally the liver and heart were exposed and the heart was found to be greatly enlarged. The husband, more deeply interested than ever, stepped forward and took hold of the heart with his fingers. It made my blood run cold," said the deputy, "and I pushed the man away." He seemed to resent the cor-oner's action very much and Insisted o knowing what caused his wife's dSath. The doctor explained that it was caused by an enlargement of the heart. Wall, by thunder!" muBedthe man, "I don't understand that. I supposed a big heart made folks generous like, but that woman was the dumbest, stingiest critter I ever see." Chinamen are scarce in California now, owing to the exclusion law and the loss of the labor of those who have gone is quite severely felt, as other laborers are not coming into the state. A San Franciscan says: "There is a strong centimeat on the coast, and Is gaining in strength, that will demand the repeal of the anti-Chine- laws in the near future. If it bad not been for Chinese cheap labor California and the whole Pacific coast would have been at least twenty-fiv- e years behind the times, and the people are begin-ning to realize that fact" Practical Hypnotism. "I guess," said Johnnie Daly, "that hypnotism's a good deal like the mes-merism we used to have in Ireland when I was a kid. Wo lived in an an-cestral palace in the county Clare " I remember your ancestral palace," chipped in a sister. "I could stick my arum down the chimbly and unlock the front door." "Faith and ye could. Well, we'd have a big pot of praties for dinner, and the old man'd come in and make a few passes, for he'd learned the mes-merism tricks, d'ye mind; and he'd say, 'Childer fall onto th' ham.' And we poor children'd pitch into them praties and think we were livin' high on smoked pig meat. Can your hypnotism beat that, now?" The Harniattan or Withering Wind. The name of harmaltan has been given a periodical wind which blows from the Interior of Africa toward the Atlantic Ocean during the three months of December, January and February. It sets in with a fog or dry haze which sometimes conceals the sun for whole weeks together. Every plant, bit of grass and leaf in its course is withered as though it had been seared by heat from a furnace; often within an hour after it begins to blow green grass is dry enough to burn like paper. Even the hardened native! lose all of the skin on exposed parts during the prevalence of this wither, ing wind.
