PROPERLY CURING ONIONS. When there is a continual dry spell ot weather the tops aro apt to fall down and turn a brown or yellowieh maces, et which time they should be Dulled by hand, If the tops are Cut off green, a large wound le made in the onion, in case the top has not already wilted thoroughly before the pulb le pulled. Where a green top is cut off ther bulb will cure up dry and become dormant, so it will not eprout. °Mons cured be the manner as stet - ed of four or five feet without injury, and can be held in this way until spring, if desired. But the tope must be allowed to remain. The cellar le not a good place to keep onions, un- less the atmosphere in it is dry and cool. A *light freezing does no harm, unless the onions are disturbed while in the frozen condition. There is probiably no crop more sure than onions. While they are liable to blight, thie seldom octant only in cases of negeect. A gond crop care al- most invariably be insured in a rIch Soil that haa been ltberally manured each year. If the ground is kept in good condition, onions maY be raised on the same groand indefinitely with- out any deterioration in quality or quantity. Onion growens prefer the white, red and yellow varieties, claiming that the red ones are not only more hardy, but they grow better and stud. handling better than either of the other kinds. --L-- SPINACH A HARDY CROP. Spinach is a very hardy crop, and is gyeat demand in late fall and very early spring, The leaves are large and succuleut. In Order to have tender leaves and stalks quick, rapid growth req,uired, which means that the aoll mast be rich in humus and fine in tilth. Seed sowu in August or early Sep- tember will prodace a very early spring crop. One ounce of seed id suf. ficient to sow 100 feet of drill, or 12 pounds to the acre. The seed may be eown broadcast, but it is better to sow in drilla one foot apart. Sow about 40 aeeds to each foot of row, and cover one inch deep, If the seed is planted deep, and the ground should cruet, it would have trouble to force itself through. In late fall the crop should be cov- ered With aeveral inches of straw, leavee or other clean litter, to afford protection during the cold secteton. Very early in spring this litter Mast be removed, and the crop will make rapid growth and can soon be gather- ed for table use. A dressing of poultry :manure ehould be given to tha crop in spring, giving it as a top dressing. In about eight weeks the leaves will be large enough to gather. When thus grown over winter, the epinach field should be made into slightly raised beds six to nine feet wide, so that water will not stand on the plants. The rows should run lengthwise of the bed. The crop should be ready for use about April and May, and should all be off the ground in early June. 'MARKETING FARM PRODUCE. In packing tomatoes in a crate, care should be taken that they are sound and of similar stage of maturity when gathered. Leaky and deformed fruits should be discarded. Aa near ae poe- Bible the shipmeut should be symme- trical in form, itniform in size and of a like degree of ripenees, Where the ahiPments are going a long distance, it le best to wrap each tomato in thin, pliable brown or white paper, *3132111er in grade te what is known as tea paper. Apples also call for careful hand- ling. Many a fine lot has been ruined by being shaken from the tree, picked ia 'bags and brought to market in a spring wagon. Picking should be carefully done and the fruit at once placed in the receptacle. They should be greded according to quality, size, etc., as more money can be realized for the better grades than would. bei realized for the entire crop when left together. In this way the inferior grades, Or culls, will be a complete profit even though the price be ridi- culously low. Too much handling is injurious to a great many products. For exaraple, the usual methods of handling poMtees practiced by many farmers is to pick them up in baskets, damp them into pits or the wagon box, when they have to be handled again by hand, or with fork and shovel, and either a lot of time is spent in pitking them up by hand, or they tre injured, said decay started, by bruising them with shovel and fork, Bean Making.

In old, old -Onto', on tho highest peak or a great meuntalu, there dwelt a hun- ter, and his five sparkling daughters. Their lodne was of bright betula barkot and on elear days they could see tho dis- tant ocean flashing lilte a easier band. "Come out! Couto oet!" cried the Younger daughter, the little Er. "Come Sal Come Hul Come Como Chet (Whit names otand In order for Erie, dittribrior, Huron, Wale= ancl at, Clair). Let us astray to the, sea, where the foamlug breakers roar!' So they left their lodge, and leaped and aang vrith happy hearts. Their robes were of blue and thrysolite green, and floated on the breeze. Their =ceasing were of frozen *teener drops, and their wings of painted wind. And they scampered and romped Items the plaln or floated be- neath the sky, or rushed paist valley and hill and field, zinging and shouting with glee, At last they canoe to a precipice ot janged rocks and maw. "Alas!" cried Er, "whet a dreauful leap' But we heeler come so far that we must go on, or ear father will laugh at usi So come Sul Come Hui Come IWI! Come Olaf and follow rael" So over the steep they sprang, and Matta down. on their painted wings. They leaped and they salts like haapy- hearted birds. Then the little Er cried, "Let us up and down the ateep a.gain!" And up and down the five maids eltes. ped and laughed at the smart and foam and called it Niagara Fella. /And to -day, through Ono ; rainbow mist, you may see their robes of Inue and chrysolite green, and their painted wings' and their twinkling feet, as the five play in the waterfall. Once on the shore of Lake Superior there dwelt a lovely Indian girl.• She was tiny and slender, with soft darn eye!, and little feet. Aral whenever the moon rose faint and white while the sun was setting, she danced in a pine grove by the chore. When she danced thus, her mother called, "Come back to the lodge, Leelinan, for the silver moon is rising. Soon the Little People, the Fairies, will come out to play among the trees. and they carry away dancing maidens." So Leelinau returned sor- fully to the lodge, for she longed to see the Fairies. Summer after summer, on moonlit nights the Little People joined hande and danced among the pines, and their eweet voicea were heard by Leelinau eitting in the lodge. And when the In- dians were steeping, the mischievous Fairies came creeping in, and 1.4811:tau, waking, heard their loW laughter in the dark. They rustled about, and hid tho fisherman's paddle, and plucked the feathere from the headdress of the hunter, and carried away nuts and fruit. And in the morning Leellnau saw their tiny footprints in the sand - dunes by the lake, And so it happened summer aftor summer. When the coin, cold winter nights eamo, the :nether sat by the fire and told take of Fairyland; how deep under the ground all was evarm, and the flow- ers bloomed, and the Fairy birds sang, and the Little People feaated and re- joiced, And Leelinau's heart filled with longing' to be in Fairyland, And so It happened winter after winter, Now, on a !rummer day, a brave came to woo Lothian. Her mother dreesied ner for the marriage. She bound. her. .garments on her, and let her out to tho wedding ferret. .And the braves and squflyia and the youths and maidens of the Chippewa, for miles around, came to the feast. But Leelineu sighed and wept, and begged that she might go alone to the pine grove before the ben came a bride. Her mother said, "Yee, ' so 'at evening time Leelinau decked her hair with flower* and filled her arms with ta.ssele of the pine trees. Then she hentened to the grove. The darkness fell and Leolinau did not return. The moon arose and shed, ite white beams on the lake, but the maiden did not come, The bridenroem and guests went to searth for her.

And no one had seen her go, except ono poor Welter lad who was paddiing his canoe near the land.

But with dne care, a great work Of "conservatron" may be done along this line, bringing help to the nations in need and no little profit to thn who may practice it. The g.olden market aeason far broil.; ere is from nanuary on to the opening of epring, Top notch' peices may be etre- ily realized at this season. The better the article produced the /tether the price. First-class hotels and well-to- do families are always watching for qual- ity broilers, whether "eque.be," medium or lame. Winter puts a keen edge on the meat apeptite of the. epicure, Chick- ens from three to six months old never go begging tie finch season, It is too bad, though, under p"resent con- ditions, to put any largo /lumber of "squabs" broilers on the ntarket. Such yonng birds are just coming to the most rapid stage of growth. The small broiler, weighing about 24 minces, Soon reaches the weight of the larger broiler, which is about two and one-half pounds. This means a hundred pounde of the finest quality of meat conserved to every lot of 100 market birds. If handled rightly, the larger the market bird the greater the financial advaptage to the poultryman. Stock hatched thLe fall should make fine roasters by early miring. A; fall chicken ought to weigh from six to seven pounds at six to seven months old. Of course, I am speaking. of the larger breeds. The smaller breed's will run a eouple of pounds lighten There is never tacking an abundant and high-class mar- ket. The dema:nd is unufivally stroag and conetant In the winter time. The day of the capon Ss rapidly dawning. The man who can have from 50 to 100 cockerels to caponizo at eight Weeks old by tho first of December will be a candidate for :noes hearty con- gratulations. A thousand ouch birds will bring hini a still- richer crown of re- joicing, There Is no divielon of opinion' on this subject. The thelterel, small or large, meat reach a fancy market to bring a really pleasing profit to the pro- ducer. The capon will grow larger on lese feed and will bring from 2.5 to 80 per cent, more per pound in tho city mar- ket. Evary point of advantage is in favor of the eapon. The fall hatcher Should therefore make large plans for producing.' the greatest possible num- ber of these ehoiceet of all moat birds, The day 'will goon come when the pout- trernan who falls to do this will be couitted behind the times In hi$ methods. But laying stock may well be planned for by the fall hatcher. September chioks 'will be 'in fine form for egg pro.- duotion in early spring. Leghorns should be in full laying strength by March, and the American breeds a month Or tW9 later, The 'man who must buy oil of his poultry food and keep his births housed tae year through finds that one season is about the same as another to Win. While the natural period of production )5 in !spring and early summer, good laY- Ing stock oan be produced at other times of the year with nearly equal profit. It is besn however, to depend on spring hatched birds for breeding purposes. CURING SKIN TROUBLES So Zany people, both men and wo- men, stiffer !rota skin troubles, such as eczema, blotches, pimples and irrita- tion that a word of advice is neces- sary, It is a great mistake for such sufferere and those svith bad totaplex- ions to smear themselves with greasy (nutmeats.

The growing boy -the active, healthy, normal boy -is a better judge of his diet than mother or father or doctor. He needs every kind of food, plenty of it, and his system will na- turally crave for just those foods that are best for him, Such, in substance, is the theme of an article in the National Food Maga- zine by Dr. H. E. Barnard. There are two kinds of food -pro- teins, with which the body is built up, and the growing boy needs as much of these as the full-grown man, often more; corbohydrates, which are the fats and sugars and starches that sup- ply heat and energy. The boy's protein food need not all be meat. Dr. Barnard says "it is bet- ter that no small part of this nitroge- nous food come from milk and eggs, cheese, beans and Peas. If he has plenty of these rich and relatively eheap foods he will not crave meat so inordinately as some growing boys do," Dr. Barnard continues: "The boy needs a large quantity of carbohydrates. That is why his de- mand for bread and butter is limited only by the supply at hand; and when he uses almost as much butter as bread, do not stint him. By the pound butter is expensive, but it is pure, wholesome food, and he can use it readily, It will not make him ill; quite the contrary, "And, do not be afraid of sugar and sweet foods. Sugar is a true concen- trated food, Give him candy for des- sert. He craves it and his craving is natural, not abnormal. "The boy's instincts will lead him to choose the all around diet he needs." ZEPPELIN AIR CRAFT. —0 -- Aluminum Girders and Hoops Line These Monster Balloons. The technical details in the construc- tion of Zeppelin aircraft are explain- ed in a journal called the Aeroplane. The visible exterior part of the Zep- pelin is merely the cloth or fabric coy. ering of the framework, which consists of sixteen girders made of very thin aluminum, The girders run from end to end of the ship, parallel for most of their length and turning inward to meet one another at nose and tail. The cylindrical body of the Zeppelin may therefore be gain to have six- teen sides on account of the sixteen girders. To keep these longitudinal girders, or "stringers," in position there are thwa,rtship girders, which rUn like hoops around the ship and act like the ribs of a boat. There are generallY about 18 hoop girders, spaced an equal distance, one from another, and they are braced across and across in- side each hoop to the next by wire braeing. to that they cut up the whole akeleten into a succession ,of oompartmenta, each of which -except Um end compartnients-has flat ends and sixteen Melee. In call of these compartments is a gas bag staeding on its edge. The idea is that if one gas bag springs a leak or is punctured by a projectile only that one bag collapses, and the weighting of the ship is so arranged that even if four or five gas bags are entirety deflated those that remain will float the ship after all ballast, am. munition arid other non -essentials have been thrown overboard.-iLonden Standard.

Shape with biscuit cutter. Place closely together in greased steamer, put over kettle of boiling water, cover closely and steam twelve minutes. If a little more milk is used this mixture may be dropped by spoonfuls and cooked on top of a stew. la this case some of the liquid must be removed so that the diunplings may rest on the meat and potato and not settle into the liquid.

HOW Other Women Save EGGS A LA CHINOISE. Rest Assured the Chinese Do Not Eat Spoiled Eggs. Have you heard that the Chiaese cat spoiled eggs This is absolutely untrue, and must come from the strange and effective method the Chinese have of preserving eggs. They pat them in a lane com- position, which makes them look something like hard butter and hay. a Mete resembling that of a lobster. In this proserve'l state, the eggs are an exceedingly toothsome delicacy. and might be relished by anyone.Chinese chefs have made a study of the art from, generatiens almost innumerable. It is tifeir practice to mix the foole ecientilically before taking into the Pystern, instead of eating different ers tides at random and having thein 'mixed after they enter the stoma M.
