Für their information TERTAINMENT. AND ENTn ot th First Crop Flamted Tr Flant la (A Monslrous VTrong Peeling I!ik from Tran- A mnn the I'eultry Som Timely IIiUh Ilmta and Mlleal Snf. geetlon far th Sick nnd the Well Farm 'tei A Collection of Valuable Ilecipet. In a few weeks onions will receive attention, as the crop is the first one planted and in this Bection the eets are sometimes etout in March, the principal crops beinfj vrown from s cts of last year, rather than Irom Beed. To produce the sets the seeds muet be planted the preceding year. Mr. T. Greiner of La Salle, N. Y., who has contributed bo many valuable articles to agricultural journals on onion and potato growing, has, by experiment, learned to produce an early crop from seed the first year, to eecure large yields, and to realize high prices. In a recent communication to the Farm and Fireside he states that he ships onions to market in crates holding three-fourths of a lusnel, and receives SI per crate, and that on the proper soil, the use of suitable varieties, and liberal application of manure and fertilizers, as many as 1.000 bushels per acre of onions may be rrown, which id very remunerative compared with many ether crops. Aa many will be interested in hia method, it may be stated that the varieties are mostly of the "Prize Taker" and "Spanish Kink," the "Victoria" being preferred as a white onion, which can be marketed earlier than the Ienver Yellow," grown in the old way, and other varieties may be grown in the same way to be marketed in the fall. eed should be sown as early as hotbeds can bo started, in February or early in March, about a pound and a Laif of seed Leinjf required to fcrow plants enough for one acre, fcow the Feed in hotbeds in row3, an ounce and a half of peed to an ordinary cash, and keep the bed clear of weed.-. The young plants are ready for the open ground when they are of the thickoeps of a lead pencil. The rows should be twelve inches apart md the plants three inches apart in the rows. Of course this closu planting calls f or much labor, and the transpontine of the younj onions i. r.lo a heavy job, but it mr.st not be overlooked that the labor usually (riven to a crop prown from seed ia the open ground, before the young cnion3 appear, is ali-o quite an item, as well as the jrreat amount of peed require.!, hence the transplanting in the end proves very profitable. The crop is best cultivated with hand hoes and wheel hoes. Onions transplant very easily, and good plants Eoldom die. The chief point is to get the crop properly ripened and cured, an 1, with this end in view, the onions thould be pulled as coon as the tops bepin to waste away. It is always safer to hai vest them too early than too late. In the ca?e of lato harvesting j'ou allow more time for growth, but, by early harvesting of the crop there will be a better chance for the crop to cure and become well capped over. Gather them "when perfectly dry and etore on a barn floor or loft or on platted shelves, leaving them spread out thinly to finish curing, then handle them over to remove the tops, assort them, and Bend to market. Th ntzlit Wn to Plant Tree. Mehan'a Montbly.l It is not unusual to hear people say that they cannot understand why trees die under transphntinz, considering that they cive the planting the very be?-t of care. What is considered the very beet of care is often very bad care. It is amazing to see the careful planter without experience occasionally on his knees pressing the earth in around the roots with his fingers, for fear of crushing the fibers. It is impossible to get the earth properly packed around roots in this way. In nurseries, where it i3 presumable planting is thoroughly understood, a man stand? with a rammer while one is putting in toe earth, and hammers the earth in as tightly as though ho was hammering in a post. This packs the earth in more tisrhtly than can bedone bv either feet or hands. Some are afraid of crushing the roots with this hammering process; but with the pressure all around the force is directed toward the roots and not away from them.. It is not necessary, however, to go into reasons, as the universal experience of the nursery is in favor of hammering in the earth as represented. This is the essence of good planting, and any other planting is decidedly bad. Trees properly planted need no staking. The fact that a tree need3 etaking is a proof that it wad not properly planted. A Monstrous Wrong;. "Of all the economic evila that filch tooney from our farmers and retard their prosperity, none is more wide-spread and disastrous than the speculation in futures." Thie remarkable statement is made by eo conservative an authority as the American Agriculturist, It estimates that the artificial depression in prices, caused by the speculators in fictitious (Tain and cotton, will roD farmers on their 1891 crops of 1 cent per pound on cotton, and 3 cents per bushel on oats, wheat 10 cents and corn 5 cents, or a total loss on lour crops of $200,000.000. It pointa out that no other articles, except hog producta and coal oil, are subject to each manipulation, even Wall-st. speculation being done on a cash basis for goods actually delivered. The American Agriculturist, Iherefore, indorses the proposition to impose an internal revenue tax of 5 cents per pound, or 20 cents per bushel on every transaction in fictitious futures, and proposes an active campaign in its behalf. The Washburne-Hatch biil is favored so emended that the law cannot interfere torith legitimate cantracta for the future delivery of actual goods. Profitable Facte for Farmers. The cotton crop of the United ßtates for fifty years is fully treated in the American Agriculturist for the last month. It gives the crop in bales, total consumption, exports, weight per bale, gross and net, and average price per pound on the planta

tion, exported at New York and at Liverpool; also the acred planted, the total yield in pounds, the average per acre in pound i and balea, total value of crop and alue per acre. The United States live census from 1840 to 1SÖ0, inclusive, is also given, together with the grain t renpus for the lame years. This is bud. 'vplemented with tables showing for oats, forn and wheat the acres grown in each täte in 1'J1, compared with the average for the fire previous years, the yield per acre in Ib'Jl and 18:0and in the five previous years; and the same regarding the total crop, pricej on the farm and total value. Tiiis is supplemented by tables pbowing cur agricultural exports and imports and the exports in detail. Feel;nr th Bark from Tree a, Meehan's Monthly. Every one knows that if we take off the hark completely from around the trunk of a tree it will die. Ftrange to eay this ii only true of about ten months in the year, for if the baric is peeled a week or so before midsummer the tree will immediately replace the oM bark by ft layer of new. Iht-re in no doubt whatever about this fact, although to this day a large jiumbcr of t'uen, eminent in botannical Acsnce, iU tut believe it. The con

ductor of this magazine bus indeed known of trees in such a hide-bound condition as to be positively unhealthy to be completely restored by btripping oil" the whole of the bark the first or second week in June. Nature intended . that the bark of trees should be removed j when it is no longer of any use, and baa provided each treo with cork cells, the do- !

velopment of which is the acent by which the old bark of trees is thrown otf. When these cork ceils are undeveloped, or something occurs to prevent their proper action, the tree becomes diseased, and it is just in these cases when the help of man comes to aid the tree to throw olf that bark which nature itself desired to throw oil, but was unable to accomplish. Grasshopper Trap. It is singular, Bava an exchange, that those who. in the West, fiuller eo much from grasshoppers do not give more attention to a method of capture which has been in use for many ages in the grasshopper-stricken region of the old world. As is well known, the grasshoppers can easily be driven like eheep in front of anyone driving them, and by extending long lines of rather closely woven fishing net the grasshoppers may be driven into those nets and easily captured. Among tho Poultry. Oat3 stimulate without fattening. Ducks are good scavengers about the farm. "Wheat may bo fed whole, crushed and cracked. Millet rape and mustard are good for young chickens. Sunflower eeed should be raised by everyone keeping poultry. If the hens lay well they must have a good opportunity to take exercise. The tool houeo and horso etab'.o are poor places for the poultry to roost. If new blood is to be introduced make the change as eocn aa possible now. When the hens are confined it is essential to give them coarse, bulky food. Young poultry of f.ny kind will not thrive if kept in close, dart quarters. Lime is needed by all fowls for tho growth of bones and for shell material. Three-fourths cats and one-fourth corn makes a good ration for laying hens now. Air-elacked lime is a good disinfectant ; scatter it liberally over the lloor every few days. To keep the hens laying in the poultry house be sure to provide plenty of good nefts. Over-feeding not only keeps tho hens from layini es, but in many casea Invites disease. I 'Ian tho duck hatchery eo as to have the earliest hatches como out tho early part of March. Ducks havo no regular laying hour, hence they must be watched if all tho egzs are socured. Vegetable trimming?, potato parings and bread crumb mixed with brand makes a good feed for ducks. The great secret of getting cg23 at all seasons of the year is in making the hens comfortable and having plenty of them. It would seem that with a little care raising poultry for the early spring market could be made profitable in tho bouth. Winter layers depend upon early hatched pullets, early pullets depend upon early setters and early setters depend upon winter layers. One of tho principal reasons why women succeed best as poultry raisers is becaue they are usually more willing to give close attention to detail.-. Some kind of grain or seed is better for the young poultry than too much soft feed, especially rornmeal. Tho bet results are secured by giving a good va riety. Frtrin Notri. The bottom of tho straw-stack, which often gets wet, is a eource of disease and becomes the harboring place of insects. For seed u.e sound and smooth potatoes, allowing two good eyes to each pieco. Large pieces are better than small ones. Be careful not to allow a pinsle diseased tuber among the seel potatoes. Level culture of potatoes pormit3 of the retention cf more moisture in the ground, presenting less surface for evaporation than hilla. and the ground can also be more easiiv cultivated, eo aato keep the top soil loose. There is no euro remedy for mildew in gooseberries. It may bo avoided to a certain extent, however, by tiiniming the bushes so as to give them an onen bead, which allows the air and eunüaht to reach the center of the bush more ireoiy. This is an excellent time for renewing the pasture, or grass land, by seeding. Use a rough harrow on the bare places, if poFcible, but whether the ground is disturbed or not, scatter gras-s eeed, and plenty of it, wherever it may be needed. Keep the stock away from the field until tho new grass gets a start. Currants have been neglectei of recent years, owing to the ravages of eneir.its, yet the enemies can be kept .n check by proper remedies and care. As many aa 2.000 bushes can bo planted on un acre, and a good, thrifty buch can be made to produce as many as five pounds of currants. The soil requires being kept clean and plenty of manure should be applied. In western New York, where grapes aro grown and kept until Christmas, the yield of an acre is estimated at about four tons, while the cost of the labor is said to be no greater than for an acre of corn. The grapes, however, even when prices are low, give four times the profit derived from corn, tome seasons the grape crop brings high prices in that section, as they usually reach the market when the main supply is over. A sudden charge from the dry food of winter to green food is liable to cause the cows to fall off in milk, owing to the "scours." Where ensilage has been used the liability is not so great. Young rye and early grasses aro mostly water in co:nposition and are very laxative. The bt-et method is to allow the animals on the early rye but a short time at first, gradually extending the indulgence until the risxef bowel disorder has passed. Every farmer knows how unsightly the tufta of grass appear in the pasture which have been stimulated by the droppings of the animals. When the cows are on tho pasture it will pay to collect this manure daily, or go into the fields with a rako and scatter it. This may appear like extra

labor, but it will pay, :is the manure will confer greater benefit to the field and to the graps. Catt'e pcem to avoid these tufts, and until the fie d is plowed again some of the land will become poorer and other portions richer. Health Iltnta. To Get a Clean Face Washing tho face with a white liannel wash rag thoroughly removes the dust and grime and aids materially in keeping the skin soft and velvety. Whooping cough may bo recognized in the early etage eoinetimes (before the cough has become characteristic) by the fatient's dread of light inability to bear ight and by dilation of the pupil ef the eye. Kest Cure. Persons seeking rest by taking a sea voyage (almost the ideal mode of resting) must bear in mind that after tho landing rest must be persistently taken and tho resumption of the old habits tad activities be moat gradual and slow. Baby Hysteria. Do not say your baby is bad tempered when it has attacks of load crying, especially U tho cries aro acJ

companied by stiffening of the limbs, tremblings or the reverse, limpness and apparent loss of consciousness. A doctor should be consulted and the child treated for hysteria. "Cradle hysteria" is more amenable to treatment than the drawingroom variety. Palpitation of the heart is much benefited by tue application of cold over the heart particularly if the trouble is of nervous origin. A wet sponge laid over the heart is a pleasant mode of applyin g cold; if the patient ie in bed, a cloth mav be wrung out of cold water and folded to form a compress and laid on the heart; this compress should be well covered with dry cloths to prevent wetting of the clothing and also for the purpose of retaining the moisture. In selecting a house remember and Felect the sunniest exposure for the living rooms, especially the nursery. A bright, cheerful, sunshiny room is just as needful for tho baby as food and clothing. The eyes of a young child aro delicate organs, and the light should neyer be permitted to fall directly upon them. Quite serious brain troubles may ariso from Buch carelessness. A ray of solar light reflected from a mirror or polished surface may cause an infant to squint or even permanently alfect the vision in the furture. A Hint for Churchmen. From the Medical lit cord v. e learn that a Connecticut pastor will uc no wine in tho communion eervice, but will give to each worshipper a cup containing colored water only. He is an ardent prohibitionist and fears to reawaken in any communicant the appetita for drink. Tho llccord says: "There is a modjeal side to the rite of communion concerning which a word may be said. And that is the patins of the cup to a wholo line of communicants for thorn to drink from, one after tho other. There are certain diseases which are highly infectiou, and which might readily bo conveyed to the lips by means of a cup moistened with the lips of others. An Antiseptic Soap A French scientific journal records that M. Vierier has discovered that dried sulphate of copper in soap baa valuable antiseptic and healing properties, almost entirely neutralizing by its use the ordinary dangers of physicians, nurses and any persons who are exposed to blood poison through cuts or scratches. Any good soap material to w hich sulphate of copper has been added in the proportion of twelve parts of the latter to eightyeight of the former is recommended. In homes where foap 1-? sometimes made on a Biiiall scale, the addition of sulphate of zinc would be worth trying. It gives a trreen color to the Eoap and is perfectly harmless. Warm Clothes It is a mistake to sunpose there is any warmth in clothes. Aninml heat is the direct result of changes going on within the body itself. Nutrition by food and the discharge of energy by exercise aro the ctiicient cav.ses of heat. Clothes "seem" good and warm because they prevent the cold air and objects with a capacity for heat which surround the body from attracting the heat generated with its organism. Tho clothing is simply an insulator. It follows that it should be light in weight, and above all things that it hhould permit free and full circulation of blood through every part oi the system to tho end of fioger and toe and that the muscular apparatus of the extremities should bo in periect working order. If we will will wear foot-coverings, w hether boots or stocking?, which compress the feet and render the s -parate action of each too impossible, it is eimply absurd to expect to be warm-footed. Heat is the complement ot work and nutrition, and if a part of the organism is eo bound that it cannot work and its supply ot food is limited, it must be cold. The resort to the stouter nnd heavier clothing under 6uch circumstances is simpiy ridiculous. Generally it id the stockings that compress tho feet. Tho garter acts as a ligaturo and dimini.shes the blood supply, while the stocking itself acts as a bandage and impedes the circulation throughout the extremities. Lernet!.

German Coffee Cakes. Take one pound flour, three-fourths pound butter, ten tabh spoonfuls of thick sour cream. Cut the butter in small pieces and knead into the Hour, gather it in a heap on the board, make a hole in the middle, into which pour the cream, then work it all into a ii'ht paste. When this is ready, divide it into smallest pieces, roll out in lengths of six or seven inches and twist into the hhape of the figure 8.

GREAT 1 UMMUl For Agents TO GET SUBSCRIBERS FOR A'S GREAT TTM i Ii I, Send For an Outfit anil Go to Work at Once ! Tho jrrcntcst and most attractive Fpccial offer that THE STATE SENTINEL has ever uiado to its agents. The thirty splendid prizes described below will bo given frco of cost, I O. B., Indianapolis, to tho thirty canvassers who send us tho thirty largest lists of subscribers to THE STATE SENTINEL between tho dates of Oct. 20, 1801, and tho 1st of May, 1S92. Every agent will bo entitled to retain tho commission on each subecription he secures, as per our circular of rates to local agents, or premiums may bo selected for clubs in accordance with our Premium list. Tho prizes aro intended as extra compensation for extra work. It will bo seen, therefore, that, even if he or she fail to win a prizo, every agent will bo well paid for work done in our behalf. AVe wish to lay particular stress upon this fact, as our regular terms and premium offers to agents are exceedingly liberal. Another important point is that these prizes will bo competed for by Local Agents only; the largo subscription agencies, against whom a local agent can havo no chance; will bo barred from participation, hence a comparatively small club will be likely to win tho first prizo. This should encourage every one of our readers to enter the lists. Oven ix months the best in the year for newspaper work will elapse beforo tho prizes are awarded, so that if only spare time bo utilized in the canvass for subscribers a very handsome result can bo achieved. Let us urgo upon every reader to go to work at once. AVc shall bo glad to supply samplo copies and subscription lists to all who will apply for them, A good plan would bo for every worker to s?nd us a list of names,to whom wo will send sample copies. After tho parties havo had time to examine tho paper, tho acnt can call upon them with every prospect of securing a subscription from each. With the addition of Mrs. Hendricks "Popular History of Indiana," the work of securing subscribers will bo very easy. It will net bo necessary to send all tho subscribers at one time; they had better be sent as fast as obtained, each agent numbering his names from one up. If live names be sent with the first order they should bo numbered from one to five; the second order fhould commenco with number six, and so on. Each agent will be credited with every subscription sent Two six months' subscriptions will count as ono yearly. When subscribers t ike advantage of our Premium or Clubbing Lists, each combination subscription will count 83 one; in other words, only subscriptions to THE STATE SEN TINEL will count. Cash mubt invariably accompany the order.
