ler of these two tight little South Sea
isles in the Caroline group. Forty-five
years ago he landed in Nc-w York and
shipped from here on a trading vessel to
Buenos Ayres, thence getting around to
San Francisco and Infer to the Caro -
lines. Ile returned with money, went to
Savannah, married a wife and returned
with her to Sl. David.
Ile established a trading station nt

right to SL Dnvid if he would care for
tlue natives. iie built a fort and colo-
nized tate place from other isles.
His wife died. and O'Keefe. tnnrried the
native queen who had ruled before his
arrival. Ile developed his copra trade;
gradually got control of most of the
copra in the Carolinas. llis,native wife

Then he went to Hongkong, bought
two more schooners to take care of his
copra trade, and spent a good deal cf
time in the Chinese port. Ile owns now

and has married a Hongkong white
woman. Occasionally he goes to St.

much any more.

HANDLING THE MANURES.
Almost every farmer will acknowledg
that them is a difference in manure tit
has always been kept under cover an
that which has been allowed to lie 1
more or less loosely constructed pile
to the open yard where every rain an
snow falls freely upon it. That the
termer is the gest, and the latter is
"burnt out" and less valuable as a ma-
nure, all must agree. Ilowever the
mere fact is not In many cases enough
tc convince them that open yard stor-
age should never bo had. While they
do not dispute the fact that the one 's
much better Than the other and In a
way do realize that thee Is some differ-
ence, they do not dee' ;t of sufficient
importance to he sure end see that it
l: either kept under cover or applied
direct to the sell as soon as produced.
For this reason many continue to allow
much of their annual manure crop Io
waste away by leaching. The difference
in the value of mnunre handfed by these
two methods amounts to about 60 per
cent.. That La, manure which la thrown
out hi piles In the open yard. by spring
has lost one-hnlf or more of its fertil-
izing value. It has given It up to the
air and to the rain and snow that has
passed over and through It as it lay In
the pile. Then, when It is applied to
• the soil before plowing in the spring. is
11 any wonder that the best results are
not realized?
Manure that Is loosely piled is bound
to ferment and by so doing great quan-
titles of ammonia are completely lost.
Firm pecking will, to a considerable ex-
tent prevent this escape of ammonia
anal In that way help to preserve the
food of manure. Thus we sed the ad-
vantages of a covered stable or yard
wherein the maunre may accumulate
with little actual loss. Such storage 's
all right where direct application to the
soil cannot be had, the trampling of the
stock packing it so web that there is no
air adinitted, and, consequently, there
is "no escape of fertilizing matter. The
stock Ls no worse for standing on the

Personally, we prefer the direct ap-

I the maunre as fast as It is made to
the field where we wish It used. We\tic this with a manure spreader. and
the plan works to perfection. We do
not only keep the stables cleaned out
every day and have no unlAghtly and

but also get the greatest possible value
from the maunre in the form of ferUllz-
er. The spreader greatly reduces the
labor and expense of hauling, and at
the same time places it upon the soil in

Butter failing to come quickly Is of-

One advantage with the separator Is,
that it enables the dairyman to secure
more cream from the milk and also
more butter from the cream.

TO KEEP ONIONS.
Onions to keep well roust be perfe:t-
ly cured and dried, with top and root
perished away. They will keep best in
a dry, cool room, safe from freezing.
or, when once slightly frozen, by belnr
kept frozen. Never put in barrels, c r
in deep boxes or bins. Shallow, opal
crates are all right. If you have sone -
dry room, not much subjected to sues
den changes of temperature, it may be
utilized for storing onions. Spread
them on the floor six or eight inches
deep. leave them there until frozen.
then cover with straw or similar materi-
al. and keep them frozen. Do not
handle until they havo gradually
