Immediately after digging them in the fall I cleaned u p th e rubbish of every kind, then applied very evenly to the soil a fair coat of dressing, composed of scrapings of tbe barn-yard. Next I cultivated th e ground three or four times quite deeply, th e dressing work- ing in readily. I then harrowed it down smoothly and allowed it to remain ten weeks t o allow the weeds an opportunity to start.» Next, I cultivated for th e pur- pose of killing the weeds, finely harrow- ing th e ground a> smoothly a s possible and let i t rest until spring. As soon i n the spring a s the ground was fit, 1 worked the top with a horse harrow and a sand rake until I secured a seedbed about two inches in depth, fine, soft and completely mixed ready for the seed. After m y onions came~uprXapreaTc« salt and ashes. After th e first weeding I applied another coat of ashes. A lib- eral use of ashes I consider a great bene- fit to this crop. At m y first weeding I brush away the dirt from tbe onions. The second weeding finished, I sowed on a fertilizer composed of plaster, salt, ashes, lime and guano. All the small weeds should b e destroyed as fast as they make their appearance; the large ones will not troubfe th e grower. B y the above described method I raised on one-fourth of an acre of land 200 bushels of the largest and finest onions I ever put in bi s barrel t o com .

It will not only be young but healtL, , it will have no tender places in it. Aiming for the best mutton, you will be certain to ge t the beet wool, which will always sell, n o matter what race it belongs to. This is the system in Eng- land, the greatest mutton producing and combing-wool-producing country in the world. It i s really a matter of sur- prisein reading English agricultural journals* to se e how little consideration is apparently given t o the qualities of wool, while the size and fattening apti- tudes of th e different breeds or varie- ties are the subjects of the most weighty attention. Yet it is fully recognized that the characteristic qualities of the English combing wools have been de- veloped ^upon originally short-wooled animals, by the unconscious develop- ment of their forms, and the secondary qualities of their fleeces, through a con- Btant aim t o develop their carcasses for the mutton market. Thus the interest of the grower, th e consumer of meat, ftnd the manufacturer of wool are iden- tified.

W e confess to a prefer- ence for the home pickled meat ; if yo u can't have that, and haven't faith in your butcher, select a piece freah and have i t the note calls for, an d carry it safely home. But he ha s a daily task assigned him which he performp, rain o r shine, aid that is t o carry his mistress her din- ner. Sh e keeps a millinery establish- ment and does not g o home t o her noon- day meal. Regularly as the day comes around the dog may be seen trotting along Main street at about 11:30 with a basket in his mouth looking neither t o the right nor left, but goings&ajght to the store, where he sets i£3ow n and watches it until bis mistress comes for it.
