would, perhaps, be also interesting
to the people to know how the

is good, how the Government
sleeps. What does 'the Govern

"Near Enough" !"

We have, by far too often, heard
this phrase applied to the iimenl
sions of machinery in course of
construction, or in process of cree
ton, and it strikes us as being mn
mechanical and.unmeaning. Ma.
chinery is always, or should be,
made to certain standard sizes, and
to say that this clanklpin fits "mcar
enough to that "brass" is to be
guilty Of carelessness in execution,
and recklessness in speech. Such
fits as ''near enough" express are
generally made over with a file and
chisel, at the expense of time and
labor which ought to have been
avoided. We have frequently been
witness to hours Of hard work cx-
pended in filing out a brass box to
suit a shaft, which should have
been bored ont correctly at first,
and never rcltouchcd afterward.-
"Near enough" is careless fellow,
and delays more than he helps

a foot soldier, in heavy marching
order, is enabled to walk on the
water without sinking. 1t consists
oI pair of india,rubbcr boots and
trowsers, all of one piece, which
are filled with air little below the
waist, and heavily weighted at the
feet. With these trowsers on, a
detachment has frequently crossed
the lake Of Vincennes, where the
water is about fifteen teot, firing
their muskets and loading them as
they went. The men sink about
two feet, the water barely reach
ing the top Of their thighs, and ap-
pear not to have any difficulty in
keeping their balance and moving
along. This is not at all wonder.

Maxims On Onion Culture

Moisture at the base of the bulb
for any length Of time is most in
furious to the onion; on the other
hand, dry heat at the surface is
very beneficial, as 1t is the sun heat
alone which renders the Spanish
onions so superior to the English in
flavor and beauty of the bulbs. The
hotter the season or the climate, the
sweeter is the flavor of onions; and
the colder the season or the climate
the more pungent.
The hoe should never be used
among onions. 1t does mischief,
and if an onion is once loosened in
the soil ilitnever makes much growth
afterwards. So, too, the bulbs
should never be earthcd up; they
should stand wholly above ground,
and have good depth Of soil to root
in.

top dressings for an onion bcd-to

Salad onions to be sown every three
weeks, from the end OF March to
the end of August.
If young onions suddenly turn
yellow and drop on the ground, it
is pretty certain they are attacked
by Anthomyia ccparum. The grub
which does this mischief is white,
slim, cylindrical, and from a quar-
t to half an inch long; it eats in
t. the heart of the onion and de-
stroys its life. AS the fly inserts
its eggs close to the ground, within
the leaf shcaths of the plant, any
dressing no. injurious 10

fly at distance. Gas house lime
sprinklcd between the rows, or over
the whole of the seed bed, will
sometimes serve the purpose, and
at other times fail. When charcoal
is used literally as top dressing,
it IS very rarely the plants suffer
from this pest. Another enemy is

this is to be feared-drought is

the preventive of this also. Deep

ground will be the best preventives
