Cultivation of Onions.

When grown as tield-crop, the land
should be level, comparatively free from
stones or other Instructions, deep and
mellow. The onion will grow best on
such soil when wei! drained, either
naturally or by artificial means. Fall

twelve feet ridges. is advisable. In the
spring, an application Of twenty to thir-
ty two-horse loads of well-rotted manure
are spread broadcast and ploughed un-
der The ground is then ploughed,
narrowed, and sometimes leveled with
a wooden roller before sowing the seed.
An application of two or three hundred
pounds Of ground bones to the acre
will benefit the crop.
The seed is sown in drills, one foot
apart, either for field or garden, by a
machine, using four pounds of fresh
seed to an acre. To insure the seed be-
ing well covered. light roller is drawn
by hand over the ground in the direc-
tion Of the rows.
The early running Of the hand hoe
between the rows is the only way 10 do
in growing onions for profit. If the
weeds gain headway, the cultivation
will cost ten times what it otherwise
would.
AS soon as the rows are designated
by the young plants, keep the scufIle
and onion hoes active until the tops
are large enough to give shade. Weeds
appearing in the lines of the rows must
be removed before they attain any size
by hand-the boy carrying knife with
a curved point made for the purpose.
The seed sown early in April, the crop
will be ready to harvest in the latter
part OF August or the beginning of Sep
tember. The onions are pulled out by
hand, throwing three or four rows to.

How FARMING is PRoFITABLE.-The
following sensible paragraph is from the
Turt, Field and Farm:
At discussion at the New York
Farmers Club, in reference to the cash
money profits of farming, it seemed to
be generally conceded that the business
failed to yield seven per cent. on the
capital invested. We were somewhat
surprised that none of the debaters
thought of giving the farm credit for
the three great necessaries Of life
house rent, table supplies and fuel.
Viewed in this light, farming is the
safest and best investment that can be
made of capital Take, for instance,
10000; let it be judiciously invested
in q moderate amount of land and all
the stock and implements necessary to
its successful cultivation. The proceeds
from such an investment will support a

Keeping Family Secrets.

Imust relate my first and last expert
ment in training my oldest boy to keep
family secrets. He was a chatter-box !;
and as he often visited among stran-
gers, without me, was fearful he might
tell more than he ought. So taking
him on my knee, | said:
My dear, you must never tell any
thing we say, or let out any OF our
plans to any one-especially to Mrs.
JONES'
His quick mind comprehended me in
stantly, and with very confirmed look
he promised obedience. A few days af-
ter, he entered my room with an air of
triumph, and said, Mamma, minded
you. Mrs. Jones asked me when you
were going to New York, and | said,
can't tell you, for my mamma don't
wish you to know any of her plansr In
my CONSERVATION | was tempted to re-
prove the innocent boy, but upon mo-
ment's thought let the matter pass,
knowing that it could not be explained
or extenuated, and preferring to lose
the friendship of Mrs. Jones rather
than sully his pure, trusting spirit, with
lesson of worldly policy. When his
younger brother, more quiet boy, but
equally fond of visiting, and great pet
and darling with all who knew him, be-
came old enough to betray family Sc
crets, gave him no caution, but trust
ed to his common sense. One day, on
returning from an errand at "A neighbor-
ing house, he stood while absorbed in
thought and then said:
Mamma, what shall | say when
people ask me what is your mother
doing? and what did you have for dim
ner ?'
"What dc you say, my dear?" said l..
"Why," said he, looking bashfully
aside, 9 say, guess it is time for me to

In the British House of Commons
on the evening of the 9th instant
Earl Mall, the member for Bradford,
moved for the disestablshment Of
the Church of England, and supported
the motion in speech marked by
ability and great eloquence. Henry
Austin Bruce, Home Secretary and
Rounded Palmer defended the Church
of England from the assault of the
member from Bradford. and opposed
the resolution. Edward Aldom Leath-
Gated the resolution, and referred to the
prosperity of the Episcopal Church in
America as an argument for the dis
establishment of the Church Of Eng
land. Uisraeli thought that France,
and not America, should be looked TO
for proper examples. He implored the
House to disregard the advice Of philo-
sophers and doctrinarians, who were
constantly assailing the Church. He
believed plebiscit,tm would confirm the
Church in its position, Gladstone sus-
tanned the views of Disfaeli, and brought
