THE f a r m i n g w o r l d . A COUP WELL BOX, to Haka fl»o i Huttw tu 8 um nw m * * W d l a aJ i Winter. gar grandmothers thought it impos- l»jft to make good butter during the lotweather of late summer, and found l)j«cause of the failure iu the baneful jggnence of the dog days. But it was «p>red long "go that good butter can J, produced during this season. Keep* iagit good and solid seems to be the dPculty. Where a constant stream of jolfl spring water can be made to flow Ajuough a trough arranged for the pur- pge, perfection is attained. Few cun Ure this, and must substitute a trough through which water is pumped dully. In hot weather the water soon becomes warmand of little use, AMr. H., of this place, lias adopted a plan which secures an even tempera­ ture of about 00 degrees. His well is <ati ordinary dug one, several feet ih di­ ameter and walled up with stone. Butter, cream, etc., are placed in a box and lowered in it nearly to the water. The' accompanying drawings give a pretty clear idea of the necessary ap­ paratus. A post is set firmly, into the ground just outside the well and a hor­ izontal. beam at the top extends over it. Where there is a'pump house or pro­ jecting roof a beam may be fastened to Its timbers in such a manner as to .serve the same purpose. Mortises out through ^his hold pulleys over which the ropepasses. At A, Fig. 2, two pul­ leys are placed on the same shaft di­ rectly above the center of the well. At15there is but oue pulley. Between the upright and brace a small windlass isconstructed, as shown at C in Fig. 3.. The frame is formed of four pieces, nailed to the post and brace. A 3-inch cylinder, 10 inches long, with a 0-inch head at each end forms a "spool” of about the right size for a well 30 to 40 feet deep, the rope being balf-incli. The pump is set as far as possible to one side of tiie well, and a trap door is placed in the floor, as in Fig. 2. A notch cut out of the floor at the side of this door holds the rope when tho door ladosed, and a hook on tho pump above (not shown in the drawing) holds it back out of the way when not in use. The frame beneath the door is Bhown at Fig. 1. At each corner two boards nailed.together at a right angle extend down into the well. A frame below keeps them in proper position, and pre­ vents . serious loss should the rope break. A box, D of Fig. 3, fits loosely into this descending shaft Cleats in- FIO, 3,—WRXI.

The only objection is that the box must bo thoroughly cleaned and ssaldcd once or twice, a week to keep It sweet, and care w«»t be taken that the Water in the keif does not become foul. With this precaution it is a success and Worth yiwg.--James M. Shall, la Rural 2f*w token ■ CULTURE OF ONIONS, Conditions titular Which mauling In tho ta ll Is Advisable. If properly mulched before the weather gets too cold onionB can be planted in the falL One of the princi­ pal advantages in planting in the fall is that tho work is done, the seed or sets have germinated, and when the season opens in the spring they are ready to start to grow. As earliness is necessary in growing a good crop of Phis:;* this is quite au item. The sooner onions are planted in the spring the .better, and in many coses by planting in the fall they will get sev­ eral days to grow earlier than if the planting was not done until spring. October is a good time to do the plant­ ing, although in-a favorable season the planting may - be dene as late as No­ vember with good results. To grow a good crop of onions, it is very necessary to have a strong, rich soil thoroughly prepared. I t is diffi­ cult to have the soil too rich, and while it is best, when. it can be done, to use well-rotted and fined manure,yet when this cannot be done fresh, course man­ ure is a good fertilizerfor onions, Poul­ try manure is a good fertilizer for onions, A good plan of applying is to prepare tile soil oil ready for the seeds or sets, and.then apply the poultry manure os •a top dressing, working it into the sur­ face w’th a.rake; or it can be applied broadcast after-the planting is done. Onions grow very near the surface, and whatever fertilizeris applied should be on or near the surface. If the cultivation is to be done by hand, either with the hoe or garden cultivator, twelve or fifteen inches is about the 'right distance to mark out •the tows; but if the horse cultivator is to be used; t\yo or two and a hulf feet apart will be best. Do not mark out the rows too deep. In nearly all cases shallow planting will give the best results. Press the soil down on the sets after covering so as to get a good start to grow. Be­ fore the weather gets too cold a good mulch should be applied. When it can be hod fresh; coarse manure is a good material to use for the purpose. Wheat, straw can be used; oat straw or liay should not be used, because as a rule they contain too many seeds. The best time to apply the mulch is after there is a light freeze. By- this plan onions can be grown for market several days earlier than if the planting is delayed until spring, and in many cases a few days will make, consider­ able difference in the price.—St. Louis Rupublic. CODLIN MOTH TRAP. A B andage from Wlilcll Its In v e n to r Ex­ p ects G reat ltesults. Dr. Benjamin A. Field, of Hobart, Tasmania, sends us the following de­ scription of a codlin moth trap bandage from which ho.hopes groat results. "I take," he writes, "a, strip of sacking about eight inches wide, and with a gun-wad punch, make a row of holes along its center. Then a strip of cheese­ cloth about three inches wide is close ly sewn with a machine along each side of the row of holes, Fig. 1, being FIG, 1. FIG. 2. FIG. 3. tucked as it is sewu on so as to form a cage. Now about an inch of each edge of the sacking is turned down, Fig. 2, and it is pressed through the clothes mangle, making a bandage. The grub goes up under the turned-in edge, then after batching, if it attempts to return the same way, it gets caught in the cut de sac. 'Finding it easier to go up and out through the punched holes, it takes that course and is caught in the cheesecloth cage. Fig. 8, a , which, be­ ing secured at the two ends by tacks, holds him in.” For other insect pests, like oyster scale, etc., Dr. Field is try­ ing injections of various drugs into tho circulation of the tree, and so far has obtained the best results from Kucahjjy- tus globulus (blue-gum) oil.—American Agriculturist, The C olor o f Bee Hives. The color of the hive has a great bearing upon tho necessity for shade. Black, or a dark color, absorbs heat, while it is reflected or repelled by white. I have seen the combs melt down in atl old weather-beaten hive that stood in the sun, but I never saw them melt in hives painted white, oven if standing in the sun. I have read of combs melting down in hives standing in shade so dense that tiie sun<never shone upon them. The trouble was that growing com on one side, and dense brush upon tiie other, made it so close that no air circulated.—Westem Rural.

THE COURT RELENTED. An American Who Creased His t a i l and Was Arrested For It. The charges that are made against the Chilian government of despotism, eta, recalls a story told by Coh Thomas 11. Nelson, after his return from Chili, where he represented this govern­ ment as minister, under the admin­ istration of Abraham Lincoln. He amid; •On the day after my arrival at San­ tiago, the capital of Chili, I received a message from an American, then in jail at that place, who ddaired to see me as early as convenient. I called at the jail and found a man who looked not unlike Joe Jefferson, when he made up as Rip Van Winkle. He said Ids name was Story, that lie was a son of tho late Associate Justice Story, of the snpreme court of the United States, and author of the ‘Commen­ taries on the Constitution of the United States;' as well as a brother of W. W. Story, the sculptor and poet He said he had been in that place six months, which was by no means inviting, and all of his efforts to find out why he was incarcerated or to secure s hearing had he n without avail. He desired my assistance. I called on the minister of foreign af­ fairs and requested some information an to the cause of Mr. Story's imprison­ ment The minister had never heard of the case, but said as I was to be 'pres­ ented' to-morrow he would inquire iuto the case, and, by the time I was in­ stalled as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, he would take up the case with me. . Imagine my surprise on the day following to learn that my countryman had been charged with 'contempt of court' and that his 'contempt* consisted of entering the 'supreme court and seating himself within the bar when he had crossed his legs and looked directly at the judges.' I said: ‘There could have been no contempt intonded. It is an American characteristic. .When I entered the private room of President Lincoln to take my final leave previous to iny departure for this city, my pose of duty, 1 found the president in a chair tilted back with the middle of his back on the edge of the seat of the chair and his legs tied, it seemed to me, in double bow knot on a marble mantle. I as­ sure you there hss been a great mistake made by some one.’ "The case was brought to the atten­ tion of the court; explanations were made and apologies accepted. Tho chief justice of the court then enter-, tained Mr. Story, who, by the way; was an able; as well as a very accomplished gentleman. He lived and died in San­ tiago, having gone there for his health. —Indianapolis News. (low to Handle ’ an Undershirt. There te one art, seemingly simple, that is known to very few, and that is the art of taking off a shirt.after exor­ cising. No one who frequents the gym-, nasiums during the summer season can have failed to notice men tugging and straining a t their flannel shirts in a vain endeavor to get them off. A flan­ nel shirt, especially an undershirt,. when wet v <ih perspiration, sticks con­ siderably closer' than a brother, and hundreds of them have been torn by trying to remove them in the manner that isusual wlieii they are dry.
