A successful machine for spraying
onions has been used by K. N. Foote,
a well-known eastern onion grower.
He uboU a common 40 potato spray
er, changing the discharge bo (hat It
would spray 10 rows of onions. With
its use he finds that he can spray 20
acres a day without difficulty, and he
is going ovor his 25-acre onion field
once a w^ck in order to destroy the
so-called blight, which has proved a
groat drawback to the onion specialty
for several years past.
Many a farmer ^believes In thorough
tillage, goou speed, well-bred live
stock and plenty of good feed and care
for them, and up-to-date farming meth
ods gonerully, yet at the same time
considers the poultry business a
trifling occupation, lit enly for the
women folks, something to, look after
when thero is nothing else to do.
Whitewashing with a good com
pound air spray pump is a cheap and
effectivo means of cleaning . up and
sweetening tho Interior of the poul

a fine sieve or through burlap bofore

apt to c!og tho machine.

Does It pay to uao manure at tbe
rate of 45 or 60 tone per acre? Tliia
depends largely on tbe coat of ma
nure. In many Inst&uces the cost of
hauling far exceed* tbe first coat of
the manure, Much of tbe manure used
near tb# large titles 1* bad for tbe
hauling, while |> (a <&? exception*
rather than the rule, that It costs more

l?es g grower can w?H afford to make
rather Ipng hauls and to use tbe ma

A man who ts content with a cow
giving 8,000 pounds of milk la a man
who doaa not understand the first
principles of the economica of dairy
work; and, until the dairymen of this
country wake up to the fact that It 1b
posBlblo to got cows giving, 0,000, 8,000,
10,000 and 12.000 pounds of milk In a
year, they cannot hope to compete
with the dairymen of Denmark and
other countries.
Dried milk powder has been fed to
milch cows with some success at the
Kunsas experiment station. The milk
powder Is a byproduct in the manufac
ture of milk sugar and contains a very
high per cent, of protein. One-Hun
dred pounds of aklmmllk makes nine
to ten pounds of the milk powder.
This preparation has also been used
with success qb a poultry feed.
A considerable amount of tho nutrl
mont In the corn fodder Is l06t each
year because It Is allowed to become
too ripe before it la harvested. Good
fodder, cut At tho right stago, and
well cured makes one of the best
feeds for winter, but its value may be
easily greatly lessened by Improper
management.
As most peop!o are not familiar
with sheep breeding and feeding, their
first question when thpjr Interest bas
been awakened Is, What Is the best
hfced? This cannot be answerea off
hand as it will depend upon the farm
er's likes and dislikes, hie locality,
his market and the available feed
supply.
Corn foddor and sorghum fodder
have about the same amount of car
bohydrates, but the corn fodder con
tains 3.7 per cent, protein while sorg
hum fodder contains only 1.6 per cent.

A great &any people set peach trees

There is a growing tendency In fa

Pear-blight very often affects apple

Los Angeles, Cfti;?The building oc
cupied by til? Lot Angeles Times was
destroyed by Are, which was prcclpi
tated by au explosion. Nineteen men,
employees of the newspaper, are mlso
I"k. uud ace believed to have perished
in (he flames.
i lire? hundred men digging unceas
ingly for thirty hours In tho debris
have unearthed five of the nineteen
bodies burled in the ruins, The shov
el brigade is aided by ft huge raii
way crano and derrick which is lift
ing out tho remains of heavy steel.
Later,- au attempt to destroy tho
n Hidence of (Jen. Harrison Gray Otis,
pubjishcr of The Times, by means of
ah infernal machine, was made. Fol
lowing uh it did the explosion which
with great loss of l|fo destroyed th?
buildings and plant of Tho Times, A
suspected effort to blow up the auxil
iary plant of tho paper and the find
ing of a powerful Infernal machine in
tho residence of Wecretary Zeehand
h.?- of t.ie Merchants and Manufac*
tni-crs' Association, the attempted
outrago has wrought this city to an
i Intense state of suspense and excite
ment.
General Otis and the other respon
sible heads pf the paper unequlvoca
bly charge Tho Times bulldlftg disas
ter and the narrowly averted attempts
at further destruction of life and prop
erty to labor unions.
With equal emphasis the leaders of
union labor here and throughout th?
United States repudiate the accusa
tlon, and locally they have offered all
aid In their power in th? effort to de
tect the culprits.
A quarrel with the Typographical
Union twenty years ago resulted !o
making The Times a non-union paper.
General Otis has fought unionism with
every resource at hifl command. He
has been ably seconded in this figbt~~
by the Merchants and Manufacturers'
Association, whose secretary was the
object of frustrated dynamiting.
In tho hope of securing information
as to tho perpetrators of th? outrage,
Mayor Alexander has offered a reward
of 910,000. This, together with foe
offers of local newspapers and labor
organizations whoso leaders hav? an
nounced a determination to assist in
I the search fro the criminals, raises
the total amount of proffered rewards
to |H,500. The city's otter is intend*
ed totempfcany one having knowl
edge of a dynamite conspiracy to dl?
wig? the secret. There are no qoo*
dltions,
The succession of, tragic events and
the rumdrs ot att?mpted outrages set
the populace of Los Angeles Is & state
of mind bordering on panto. Hundreds
of policemen and detectives were
busy In every direction running down
oluss and endeavoring to locate the
alleged perpetrators of tbe crimes.
But two arrests hare been made and
these were only on suspicion.
The original suspicion that tbe
aster was due to the discharge of
explosives was practically confirmed
by the finding of other bombs and tbe
sUWMiisiita uf those persons lo th?
building' or nearby at the time of tho
the explosion.
The president or tlte local typo*
graphical union has issued orders that
union printers may work in conjunc
tion with non-union printers of The
Tlmes in any ot th? local nswspaper
offices in getting out the edition of
The Times. This was announced af
ter a consultation of the union men r
and the managers of th? other news*
papers.
