Onions rs a Medicine.

'.Mary in the Western Rural, recon-
mends Onions for the relief ofcolds, coughs,
&c. Mary is sound or the onion. as we
know from experience. There is nothing
better. She truthfully says:
Hardly too much can be said in favor
of onions as a remedy for coughs and colds;
especially for children, they arc invalua-
BILE. They may be baked and eaten at
meal time, or, what is better, eaten raw
with a little salt or stirred up in vinegar.
\ syrup made of them has saved many a
child from an attack of Group or lung fe-
yer, and where these diseases were fully
settled, it has gone far toward a speedy
cure. To prepare the syrup, slice an on
ion in a tin basin, pour upon it half a
t~ea-cupful molasses, or waat is better,
honey; add a bit of butter as large as IA
small chestnut set the dish in the oven,
and simmer slowly for an hour. Leave
one of the oven doors open, 50 it will not
be too hot.

Selling Crops.

The Journal Of AWicahores st. Lou
is, complains that farmers are holding
their wheat, and of course failing to pay
their honest debts, very much to the an
noyance ofthose who need what is owing
them in order to keep soul and body to-
gether. It says:
If a farmer is independent and has TO
meet no pecuniary obligations then he
may indulge in a speculation, may re-
fuse to sell, and may keep-his grain un-
til the market suits him. Careful obser-
vations and records show that a far
mer who sells his wheat as soon as thresh-
ed does better, taking one year with an
other, than be who holds off in the hope Of
higher prices. Aud when %pecuniary
obligations have been entered, it be-
comes a duty for the farmer to dispose of
his produce"
Not only does the wheat grower do bet
ter to sell at once when an article is rea-
dy for the market. but the growers of all
other grains or marketable produce rs what
ever. Nothing is gained in the long run
by holding, whether the crop brings little
