The professor arrived at the peach farm, got his good dinner, and went out to view the peach land o'er. He looked about, tapped some of the rocks with his little hammer (there were but very few stones within reach) and took up a handful of the soil, letting it slip through his fingers slowly, and rubbing 1t between his thumb and palm as it ‘went. This he did in several sections of the orchard, and then said to the farmer, abruptly. “8ilt, loamy sil or silty loam, as you like. Just what I expecfed to find. Just what I knew wasé here. I did not dare to tell you in,Amherst, for I knew you were one of the New England Doubting Thomases. You would not have believed me—there. Now, you geot busy and pull up these peach trees nd put this land into onionsi™ The farmer’s mouth hung open. He stared. He gasped and _swallowed. Finally he blurted out: “What! Pull up those fine voungipeach trees! They have not yet given,a crop. They are just ready to bear. They have cost me a heap of money. Pull 'em up? You must be crasy.” “But you mugt pull them up. They ‘will nqver bear paying crops. " You see, this lana~is ideal onion land. Tt is just that peculiar composition of silt and loam that onions require. 'Why, if you put in onions here—" And then fol- lowed a keen lecture on onion culture, and finally the professor betook him. self again to Amberst, almost per- suaded that the peach man would cling to his peaches. But he did not altogether., He took his courage in his hands and pulled up about quarter of the peach trees, and planted onions. I have forgotten just how many acres there was in this first wear's onion patch, but the c. m. said he paid the peach man 31,600 for the crop the first ; and that all of the peach trees ‘Were pulled up the .next year. ‘There are hundreds of acres of the best kind of onion Jand in different Parts of New Engiand wupon which iere from 100 to 8300 bushels per can be raised, depending some pon the land but more upon the man. Mhey can be sold for abbut 50 cents a bushel. I have heard of crops as large as 1,000 bushels to the acre, which ‘would mean 3500 an acne. The soil should be three-fourths sflt, and the other fourth chiefly a good black loam, There shoulM be a little sand, and if there is clay underlaying o much the AVOID IMPURE MILK for Infants ana Invalids HORLICK’S MALTED MIL Rich milk, melted grain, in powder form.

CURE FOR RESTLESS HENS. Tip for Poultry Raisers on How to “Keep Stock Contented. . A hungry hen is not a contented hen. I have seen flocks that one would think at first sight were a healthy, energetic bunch, but close observation showed they were rather a hungry bunch, a_writer in Farm and Fireside states. Not just a little hungry, but very hungry. 5 A flock that is fed at sny old time is not a contented flock. If the hens are fed at a certain time every day they soon learn when it is, and they will never expect to be fed between times. During the time between feeds they will go about their business with contentment, scratching,| dusting, lay- ing, sunning themselves, but never standing around as near the direction the feed comes from as they can get, and cls oring for something to eat, probably eating but little when they get it. They will get the “piecing hab- it” just the same as the children if you teach it to them, and the habit does not make for contentment, An injudicious method of turning the flock out to graze is another very com- mon cause of discontent. If you let them out all day one day and keep them shut up the next, you will have a pretty serlous case of restlessness the second day, In fact, it will take them a week to get over their unrest and become satisfied with their lot. J£ you select a certain hour In the evening and let them out regularly at that hour you will have no trouble. In a few days you might go into the lot almost any time in the day and they would never make any attempt to get out, but when that hour arrives you will find them all eagerness, and If you open the door they are coming out or know the reason hy. POTATO BLIGHT. Spray with Bordeaux Mixture to Avoid This Bad Pest. Potato growers who are not spraying ‘with bordeaux mixture are very likely this season, if the weather is like t of the past two weeks, to be serlously affected with the late blight. The work- ers of the league have found that many are using material to kill the bugs but are not spraying with a fungicide to eliminate as much as possible the at- tacks of the fungus causing the blight. This is a serious mista ~ Everv grower should spray with the bordeaux either made at home by mix- ing four pounds of copper sulphate, four pounds of caustic lime slaked and these reduceq with 50 gallons of water, or that which can be obtained in the market ready to be reduced. ‘This material should be applied every 10 days to two weeks. Frequently it is possible to see fields of potatoes that are hilled al- together too much, With soil condi- tlons that are common in this county such treatment may cause the fieid to suffer severely from the effect of drouth, Probably the hilling will pre- vent many potatoes from becoming sunburned, as well as aid in covering up weeds in the row. On the other hand, it will cause a much greater loss of water, which is surely to be needed during July and August, so that it will result ir a smaller yield of potatoes. Therefore. with our light sofl it would seem folly to do such extreme hilling as is so often seen. Plant the seed deep and practice level cultivation until the last, when slight hilling may be desirable. This same principle applies to corn and tomatoes which the volunteers have in their gardens.

To prevent this, one should plow or har- row the fields immediately after the harvesting of the oats, and cultivate frequently every. week or 10 days. Those who are planning to seed down any of their fields, whether oats or sod land, will obtain a better seed | bed if the plowing is done immediately. or after a good rain following the cutting of the hay. | CUT HAY AT PROPER SEASON. Much Value is Lost if Crop is Allowed to Stand Too Long. Much of the value of hay is lost each season by allowing it to stand altogether too long. Where large areas are cut, some must be cut too early or too late, possibly both, but since the palatability as well as the i lity is lessened, over-ripening | should be eliminated as much as pos- | sible.

The egg production of a great many flocks of hens will drop about this season of the year due to the lack of succulent green food. Even though there are some weeds and grass in the vards it does not seem to appeal to the hens as did the soft tender grass of early spring. To supplant this want there is now at the contest plant ready for feeding one-tenth acre of Dwarf Essex Rape and one-fifth-acre of Swiss Chard. These two plants make ideal green food for poultry, the Dwarf Essex Rape being ready to har- vest in about six weeks from seed can be cut just above the central leaf bud iseveral times and will produce an abundance of crisp green leaves. The Swiss Chard is ready to cut in about ten weeks and- will continue an abundance of succulent food until cold weather, Both of these plants are | hardy and will stand frdst. Where hens have large yards with some grass some little difficulty may be experi- enced it teaching them to eat this form of green food: this however can be overcome by small feeds at regular in- tervals and where vards are vare it will be devoured ravenously and will make a wonderful difference in the ezg record during the summer and fall months, The ten leading pens to date are as follo Tom Barron, Catforth, Eng- land, White Wyandottes 1499: Fran- cis F.

An Alleged Shortage of $13,000 in the Town’s Funds. New Fairfield, Conn,, July 15.—As a result of an alleged shortage in town funds, three suits for aggregate dam- ages of £13,000 have been brougat against Tax Collector Charles Gorham | by this town, and papers in the suits were filed today in the superior court in Bridgeport. Isaac Knapp and Hen- ry Backer, who were bondsmen for Gorham, are named as co-defendants. Fifteen pleces of property owned by Gorham have been attached. The town clalms that before June 1, 1910, the collector wrongfully appro- priated to his own use $5,000 which had been paid in taxes. In 1911 he is al- the same amount. Separate suits are brought to co ver the alleged shortage in each of these three years. Gorham says there ls doing. The sults are returnable to the September term of court.

Constitutionalists, diplomats and of- ficials of the United States govern- ment did not conceal their satisfaction over the fact that General Huerta had at last voluntarily eliminated himself from the situation and pointed the way to an era of peace in his coun- try, Although the constitutionalists have declared they would, not recognize Francisco Carbajal ~as provisional president any more than they id his predecessor, and the United States government likewise will refuse to rec- ognize him, the understanding here is that the new executive will hoid office for only a short term—until satisfac tory arrangements can be made f¢ the entry of General Carranza, the constitutionalist chief.

From, diplomats in close touch with the situation, it was learned that Mr. Carbajal and those who are assoclated Wwith him in an effort to restore peace in Mexico desire only a general am- nesty be declared, conserving the lives and property of thase who supported | Huerta. After this is obtained the | peaceful entry into the Mexican capi- tal of constitutionalist troops will be negotiated.
