Handling Onion Sets. 
J. J. n., Campville, N. T.— Will you kindly 
explain how to raise and care for onion sets, 
such as grow on the stalks? 
Ans. —If the questioner has reference to 
the ordinary top onions, such as are used 
to grow large onions, the tops should he 
cut as soon as the little onions on the 
top have matured, leaving a portion of 
the stem adhering. They should be dried 
in the sun for a few days, when they can 
he stored in a cool, dry place until 
Spring, when the sets should be sepa- 
arated and set in rows 12 inches apart, 
the sets three inches apart in the row. 
If, on the other hand, the onion in ques¬ 
tion is the Hardy Perennial or Egyptian 
Tree onion, the sets should be planted in 
the same manner as above, but in Sep¬ 
tember instead of Spring. The latter va¬ 
riety is used for bunching green, while the 
former is usually grown for large onions.

IMPROVED FRUIT CRATE. 
The accompanying cuts show a fruit crate 
invented and patented by John S. Ilorton, of 
Delaware. The chief advantages claimed are 
that the packages may be piled one on the 
other without injury to the fruit, and that 
a free circulation of air is provided. Cut 
2 shows a complete crate with cover re¬ 
moved. The body consists of two end frames 
made of top and bottom bars, a, and sides b, 
mortised at corners c; d, e, f and h being 
slats and braces. Cleats, g, are nailed or 
screwed to under side of ends. The top con¬ 
sists of slats, i, fastened between crossbars, 
k and I. Cut 1 illustrates the method of 
piling the crates, showing the air space and 
the manner in which the upper crate is held 
in place by the cleats of the lower, the weight 
resting upon the corner posts. This package 
will cost a little more than the baskets com¬ 
monly used, but it does away with the shelv¬ 
ing of the car necessary with basket ship¬ 
ments, and there is less damage from bruis¬ 
ing. _ 
What Form of Lime?—I have had some 
experience in the use of lime on my grass 
land, and always with very beneficial effect. 
I think a large part of the soil in Chautauqua 
and Cattaraugus counties at least would pay 
well for the use of lime. I bought air-slaked 
lime from the dealers in Jamestown for $5 
per ton. I would like to know if others 
think this as profitable as to buy the ground 
or prepared fresh unslaked lime. h. e. b.

Clover in Buckwheat.—F or many years 
It has been impossible to get a catch of clover 
on our farm. In a sort of desperation last 
year clover was sown in buckwheat, the last 
thing before harvest. A fine stand of clover 
was secured. This year it was tried again 
with the same result. e. p. reese. 
Blighted Melon Seed.—I have never had 
any personal experience with seed taken from 
vines that had blighted badly, but believe 
that if the seed is well matured they would 
not carry the blight, with them, and would 
not transmit it, for it is a vine fungus which 
does not come in contact with the seed.

AS TO COLDS 
Feed a cold—yes, but 
feed it with Scott’s Emul¬ 
sion. Feeding a cold in this 
way kills it. You cannot 
afford to have a cough or 
cold at this season or any 
other. Scott’s Emulsion 
will drive it out quickly 
and keep it out. Weak 
lungs are strengthened 
and all wasting diseases 
are checked by Scott’s 
Emulsion. It’s a great 
flesh producer.
