Onions.

In the discussion, Sept s. in the RocheS-
ter Farmers Club, on onions-V. NJ. Hub
bard said he had succeeded in raising fine
bed this summer by using hot soap suds
freely on them every washing day. He
heated it until it nearly boiled, and then
firted it vigorously over them. He sowed
black seed on ground made rich, and began
applying hot suds early and continued it
and had prospered and he would warrant
them against any reasonable amount of
hot water
DIR. Huntington recommended solution
of carbolic acid
w. S. ChafIee said he had always sue
ceeded in saving them from the maggot by
fresh and fine Stacked lime or ashes sown
on them early in their lifetime, and when
the dew is on or during a shower Sow it
| on when wet enough to hold it, and do il
as often as the rain washes it off. Sow the
seed thick and if necessary thin out, but
keep the lime or ashes going. Put it on
with care, let it strike round the plant, and
be not weary in well doing.
Mr. Benjamin Rogers said he had sue
ceeded for five or six years by mixing 8
large quantity of green sheep manure with
the dirt in his onion bed in raising good
crop, had not applied hot water nor othel
substances. Thought there was little diff
iculty in raising them.
Other members had tried every desirable
method and had not succeeded. Theil
failure seemed attributable to these causes

Does a Good Cow Cost More Than a
Poor One =?

When will people learn to know better
than to assert that it costs no more to keep
a good COW than poor one? The thing is
being harped and re-harped constantly.
Now the thing at first glance is sufficient
to convince any intelligent man that this
cannot be the case. Do twenty pounds Of
butter require more nutritive matter than
ten? You might as we'll say that it doesn't
contain more. The COW that doubles her
butter in year, giving 400 instead Of 200
pounds, does she require no more food to
make the extra 200 pounds? According to
the theory afoat, this is 50. 1t might as
well be said that the 400 pounds require no
more; and that COW out of milk will put
on no more flesh than one giving milk,
which we know is not the case. Equally
well do we know that the more butter that
is made the more food or nourishment is
required. This thing has often been tested.
We have knowledge of this ourselves
practical-thorough.
A good cow requires more pasture and
more hay, depend upon that. You do not
see the difference in pasture-you do not
note and estimate in summer; neither dc
yoa in winter, because your COW is dry, Oh
gives but little milk Besides promiscuou:
feeding will prevent you from telling The
difference
The most profit in purchasing a COW
common breed is, to buy one that ha.
been neglected Here is chance for i'm
proyement, while at the same time the
profit on the increased feed is realized, fol
it must forever be an axiom in stock rails
ing that our profits are on the products thai
are consumed-the feed that is converted
into flesh, fat, butter and cheese. Yol
cannot get these, as we have said, withou
just their equivalent in grain, etc.
BY improving your ordinary COW, yol
increase the profit on her and her product
She will sell for more and you will realiz
more from her milk.
f Push the fodder then; pass all through
f your animals that you can. This will Civ
them growth, fat and milk-what you ar
after if you are a true farmer.

EXPECTING an Answer.

Our fathers believed inspecial answer to
prayer. They were not stumbled by the
objection about the infexibility of the laws
of nature, because they had the idea that
when the Creator of the world promised tc
answer human prayers, He probably un-
derstood the laws of nature as well as they
did. Atany rate, the laws of nature were
his affairs, and not theirs. They were men
very apt, as the Duke of Wellington said
to ''look to their marching order" -whicl
being found to read, ''Be careful for moth
ing but in everything by prayer and sup
plication with thanksgiving, let your re
quests be made known unto God," and the!

Alfred Young, Trumbull County, writes
to the Ohio Farmer that he has had some
experience in feeding corn boiled on the
cob to COWS, which was very unsatisfactory
for the reason that much of it was undi-
gested and went into the manure heap.
Good implen ents are indeed indispens-
able to success, and he who has provided
them will not only have greater pleasure
in his labors, but the profit which attends
the judicious application of both time and
labor.

nings, and the fourth cover them with cold
vinegar adding small quantity of mustard

The largest farm in England consists of
three thousand acres, and belong to man
with the Yankee name of Samuel Jones
In its cultivation he follows the " four
course " system, the whole extent of the
farm being divided into four great crops
$50 acres of wheat, $50 to barley and oats,
$50 to seeds, beans, peas, &c, and 80 to
roots. His live stock is valued as follows !:
Sheep $50, 700; horses, $4,000; bullocks,
$4,000; pigs, g, 900. The oil cake and
corn purchased annually amount to $50, 900
and artificial fertilizers about 5000 The
entire cost of manure, in various forms
used, is annually about $4,000 Sheep are
claimed as the most profitable stock he
keeps, from which are realized about S20,-
600 a year. His income from the whole
farm, though not stated, can be little less
than $50, 900

EGGS FOR BURNs.-The white of an egg
has proved Of late the most efficacious rem
edy for burns. Seven or eight successive
applications of this substance soothes pain
and effectually excludes the burned parts
from the air This simple remedy seems
far preferable to collodion or even cotton.
BLIsTERED HANDS AND FEET.-The
speediest remedy is to light tallow candle
and let the melted tallow drop in cold wa
ter, then mix the tallow with strong spirits
and rub it thoroughly into the palms or
soles; this is both preventive and cur
ative.
REMEDY FOR CRoUP.-The French have
discovered that the white of an egg given
in sweetened water is a sure cure for the
Group. The remedy is to be repeated till
a cure is effected.

How TO CURE CANCER. Milwau-
kee Democrat states that some eight
months ago, Mr.. TsAB. Mason, of that
city, ascertained that he had a cancer
on his face the size of pin. 1t was
cut out by DIR. Wolcott, and the wound
partially healed. Subsequently it
grew again, and while he was at Gin
cinnati on business, it attainad the size
of hickory nut. He remained there
since Christmas under treatment, and
is now perfectly cured. The process is
this: A piece of sticking plaster was
put over the cancer, with a circular
pieco cut out of the center little larg-
er than the cancer so that the cancer
end q small circular rim of healthy
skin next to it were exposed. Then a
plaster made of chloride of zinc, blood
root and wheat flour, was spread on a
piece Of muslin the size of this circular
opening and applied to the cancer for
twenty-four hours. On renewing it.
the cancer will be found burnt into
AMI appear of the color and hardness
of an old shoe sole, and the circular
rim outside oft will appear white and
parboiled, as if scalded by hot steam
The wound is now dressed, and the out
side rim soon separates, and the cancer
comes out in a hard lump, and the
place heals up. The plaster kills the
cancer, so that it sloughs out like deaC
flesh, and never grows again. The
remedy was discovered by DIR. Fell, o
London, and has been used by him fol
six or eight years, with unfailing sue
cess, and not a case has been known
of the temperance of the cancer wher
this remedy has been applied.

DRUNKEN SENAToRs.-A Boston Jour-

en- exaggerated statement that every af-
ternoon, after three o'clock, some twelve
or fifteen United States Senators are so
drunk that they are unable to attend to
business. The Washington correspond
ent of the Missouri Democrat also says
that ''the coming session of Congress
will see the certain death and entomb-
ment of three men now in the United
States Senate, all from drink. Take
away the pay and good clothes of these
three men and they are already tavern
suckers and parasites of the most abject
sort. / saw one of them at a friends
house only yesterday ask for a glass OF
whisky as soon as he entered. He took
it with both hands, which shook and
rocked rather as in some theatrical ex-
aggeration of drunkenness than in the
real light of common life, and to see
his greedy lips slip by the glass's edge,
cheated like Tantalus by his own nerves
was dreadful. He is no worse than two
others, but happily his term expires or
