How TO PURIFY TAINTED CASKS
A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman having had seme sad ex-
perience with pork and lard, tried
the experiment of putting small
armfull of dry shavings into the eask
and setting them on fire. The re-
suit was th hat the grease with all 9TH
er impurities absorbed by the wood,
was burned out. 1t can then be
washed perfectly clean, and be as
good as new. The shavings should
be kept moving by reIling the cask
that the fire may elense every
part. Coed fer rancid lard tubs and
butter frkins.

WHEAT IN CALIFoRNlA.-The San
Francisco Mercantile Gazette brags
on California as a wheat State. 1t
says that while Illinois raises an
average crop of fifteen bushels per
acre, California produces thirty, and
while Illinois sowed eight acres to
California one, the aggregate yield
of the former last year was $4,000.
600, while in the latter it was IL, 900,
000,. Besides, the quality of Cali
fornia wheat is better than that of
Illinois, and in some of her best dis
tricts the average per acre is as high
as sixty bushels. 1t is expected

Select a warm exposure, protected
from northerly winds. The manure
may be piled on the surface, sur
rounded with plank and banked with
earth; or 1t may be put in pit some
eighteen or twenty inches deep
Use fresh stable manure, with an ad-
mixture of straw or leaves, well
worked over and packed two or three
feet deep, with a covering OF mold
six inches in depth. A few days
with the sash on will suffice to pre-
pare it for the reception Of seeds
The greatest difficulty is in the after
management and providing against
sudden changes of weather. Some
covering for the sashes is necessary
to prevent the loss of heat at night.
Shutters or straw mats are most
generally used.
Plants in hot-bed are often de-
streyed by too great heat, more
especially on clear, sunny day
Care should be taken to raise the
sash, and to let in as much air as
possible. consistent with keeping up
requisite degree o. heat for plant
growing. Some will make mistakes
in the management of the hot-bed,
will allow it to get too hot, or too
cold; will water it too much or let it
get too dry; but practice and close
observation will ensure success.

ONIoNs-THEIR EFFIcAor.-The
onion is reputed to be among the
most healthful Of the bulbeus family,
but, ewing to its strong and pungent
aroma, is less favorite in 'refined
circles" than it ought to be. In our
changeable climate, where colds and
coughs in spring and autumn are the
rule and exemption from them the
exception, free use of the onion
would prevent much suffering. A
portion Of a raw enien, eaten just be-
fore retiring to rest, will generally
give repose to such as are suffering
with lungs oyerburdened with op
pressive and irritable matter The
breath of the onion eater may not be
quite SO fragrant as desirable, but
the nightly repose of such will be
enough sweeter to balance the ac-
count.
