The Culture of Onions.

An experienced and successful
farmer furnishes the following In
formation upon the subject Of onion
raising:
: Ny success in raising onions,
has led many to ask, chow is it
done?" They say the lnaggot and
the large brown worm have been
so destructive that they have done
trying to raise the valuable veget-
able. In answer to such inquiries,
permit me to reply
There are at least six kinds of
onions. But they are of the same
lspecies. The leek, the garlick,
the hill onions, the top onions,
the red and the silver onions.
From the fact that whenever on
ions have been found growing
wild, they are always found most
plentifully and most fourishing in
muck soil, | have taken the hint
to prepare my onion bed with a
| plentiful supply Of muck first put
into the hog yard, and then we'll
linked with common soil. Be
sides, onions button better where
the ground has been rotted or hard
trodden.
l cultivate the stop onion" for
several reasons. All black seed
onions are slow to come up. The
weeds get the start of them, and
then you are obliged to get down
on your hands and knees, and weed
with your fingers. Then warm
weather has come on, and the mag
got fly commences with the young
plant to destroy it. And the black
seed onion is SO late that the black
worm is just in season to bite off
the tender stalk, and so devours
the onion.
But plant the "top onion" seed,
which is already a little onion, you
may get them well growing in
April. They come Immediately,
SO that you may hoe them twice
or more before weeds appear
And before maggot or worm time,
the onion has got the ground by
possession. When the weeds APP
pear, you may march right along
with your hoe and go over with a
bed large enough for twenty bush
els, before breakfast.
The reason why maggots have
ever destroyed the top onion is,
that they were planted too late
They should be planted as soon as
the snow and frost disappears
Some put out in the fall and dc
well. | have never tried it.
} They are sweeter and more
juicy than other varieties, and
can be raised almost as easy as po-
tatoes.

During the prevalence of the

A TIPPLER S SFRATEG EN-. Sonar
ant relates the following anecdote
of Schwartz, a fam Gus German
painter. Having been engaged to
paint the ceiling of the Town
Hall at Munich, by the day, his
love of dissipation induced him
to neglect his work, and the mag
istrates and overseers of the work
were frequently obliged to hunt
him out at the tavern. AS he
could no longer drink in quiet, he
stuffed an image of himself, left
the legs hanging down between
the staging where he was accus-
toned to work, and sent one of
his boon companions to move the
image little two or. three times a
day, and to take it away at noon
and night. BY means Of this decep-
ton, he drank, without the least
disturbance, a whole fortnight to-
gether, the inn-keeper being aware
Of the plot. The officers came
round twice a day to look after
him. and seeing the well-known
stockings which he was accus-
toned to wear, suspected nothing
wrong, and went their way, great
ly extoling their new convert as
the most industrious and conscien-
tious painter in the world.

1t is generally believed by those

1t is generally believed by those
physicians who have closely inves-
tigated the subject of the compar-
alive amount of disease among the
aborigines of our country and the
Europeans, that the relative pro-
portion and rarity is much greater
in the latter, and the amount of
vitality and the ability to resist
disease proportionably less-these
facts being elucidated by the OBJ
servation of individual cases. The
illness of the Indian is generally
more protracted before death, and
it is characteristic of this race to be
unwilling to await the proper
time, and to take proper measures
to become restored to health.

Soldiers, Aid Society.

In our local column will be found the last report of the "Soldiers' Aid Society" of this town, that, throughout the war, has been labor, ing for the good and comfort of our heroic brothers and sons in the army.
 The material benefit that this society has rendered to the cause of humanity and lib erty will be seen by glance atthe report. But the moral influence of such associations of pat riotic women. in moulding the sentiment of own communities to the support of the govern ment, in comforting the sick and wounded in hospitals, and in inspiring to still nobler deeds our brave army in the field, will always remain part of the unwritien history of the war. The mission of. these heroines has been one always of unpretending and unheralded, but never of thankless and unpro6table, devotion to liberty. But their labor of love is nearly accomplished. With the breaking up of the horrId scenes of var and the return of onr loved ones to peace iul avocations, the call for such associations will cease.
 Our own society will spread the tables of welcome for our returning heroes, and will then retire from their self-imposed and wellaccom- plished work. Every one of it's members will be held in everlasting renembrancso by hundreds of grateful soldiers. s 5
