munion with one of the most pungent
and penetrating manifestations of the
moral world. Happy is said to be the
family who can eat onions together.
They are, for the time being, separated
from the world, and have harmony OF
aspiration. Let them become apostles
to the onion; let them eat and preach
it to their followers, and circulate tracts
in the form of seeds.
In the onion is hope of universal
brotherhood. If all men eat onions at
all times, they will come into a univer-
sal sympathy. Look at Italy. | hope |
am not mistaken as to the cause of her
unity. 1t was the reds that preached
the gospel that made it possible. All
the reds in Europe-all the sworn de
voices of the mystic Mary Ann ate of
the common vegetable. Their oaths
were stronger with it. 1t is the food
also of the common people of Italy.
All the social atmosphere of the deli
cious land is laden with it. Its odor is
practical democracy. In the churches
all are alike; there is one faith, one
smell. The entrance of Victor Eman-
uel into Rome is the pompous proclama-
ton Of unity which garlic had already
accomplished, and yet we, who boast of
our democracy, eat onions in secret.

HOuSe.Cleaning.

How many will shudder at the sight
of those significant words. They bring
up only unpleasant recollections, but
they refer to a very essential annual
scene in every well-regulated family.
The New York Mail has very inter
esting chapter on housekeeping from
which we extract the following:
1t takes man of angelic tempera-
ment to pass quietly through the ordeal
of housekeeping. But as, unluckily,
the genus homo are not given, as rule,
to angelic disposition, it follows that
this period is apt to be breezy one.
There is little comfort to be found in
the house. The carpets are up, and the
smell of paint pervades every room, the
furniture is in blissful state of confu-
sion, slippers and boots are mislaid,
smoking tobooed, the housewife, poor
woman, is apt to be fretful, and the
children are continually vacillating be-
tween alternate delight and despair
delight at finding every moment some
new mischief to be into, and despair at
being suddenly brought to punish
ment.
The meals are apt to be irregular, and
hastily prepared at that, and Bridget is
in mood that warns you that she will
not be hurried or fretted at.
Talk about dog days and rabid ami
mails l should like to see anything
more to be dreaded or more unreason-
able than the creature man during the
days of spring house cleaning. He de-
clares that all this hustle and stir is un-
necessary; that it is all folly to put
every room into disorder just for the
satisfaction of putting it to rights again.
Poor Benedict! He is like the spoiled
child, who does not know what is good
for him. But the busy little wife
knows. She knows how important it is
that every nook and corner should be
thoroughly cleansed before the hot
days come on; that every article should
be brushed and polished, and the win
ter clothing aired and put away before
the advent of the destroying moth. And
she makes a martyr of herself for four
Or five weeks every year that all this
may be ACCOMPLISHED.

Color as an Indication Of the Qualities
Of q Horse

VI d hui Scs
A correspondent cf the Country Gen.
hemdn writes:
In the first place I must apparently
contradict myself, for color has really
nothing whatever to do with either good
or bad qualities, instead of which, tenn
permanent has all to do with color, or
nearly so. Now as to the dark chest
nut and the dark brown; so far as my
experience goes, they and the blood bay
are more exempt from disease than any
other color, except the dun-or, as it is
enormously called, the cream-which is
much objected to. Dapple or dark
grays are subjected to fungus excre-
SCIENCES, commonly called warts. Black
horses are, according to my experience,
more subject to affections of the eyes
than any other color; also in the feet
they are, as rule, faulty, and, though
pretty, are not of vigorous, ruddy
constitutio. What horseman does not,
of his own experience, know what the
different shades of the sorrel are sub
jected to? They are, as rule, the
most skittish. Who among expert
enced, good horsemeu does not know
that, of all the baulky horses he has
known, at least more than half were
light sorrels. For intelligence or gen.
eral usefulness, for beauty, and for all
purposes for which the horse may be
required, the above three colors will fill
the bill. Let no person for moment
understand me to affirm that there are
no good-yea, very good-horses of all
and every shade of color; but l do wish
to be understood to mean this: In
breeding, always breed from the best,
for it costs no more in any sense. The
white horse is usually of good constitu-
ton, and docile; the spotted horse is
very hardy, but by most persons object
ed to on account of color only. AS to
size, black horses are perhaps the largest
all over the world, except our American
Black Hawk chestr uts, browns and
bays are among the largest; some grays
are large, but not as a rule.
During my twenty years professional
experience, have had seven idiots
termed among the horse fraternity of
jockeys dumbies J; six of these were
black and one a roam. l keep two
thoroughbred dark chestnuts; | allow
no one to go faster in a day than [ do
neither do know of any one who can
go long journey in less time than [
can, and do, in all roads and all weather.

Potato Culture.

At late meeting of the Oshkosh
horticultural Society there was a dis
cussion on Potato Planting and Culture,
mainly confined to the experience of E..
w. Sanders, whom Secretary Hole pro-
nounces King of the Potato Growers of
Winnebago County. By slight changes
we condense the report so as to give his
views in connected manner
For the last five years l have raised
and experimental on potatoes, and
find that early potatoes need much
more manure to enrich the soil than
later varieties. l would prefer new
sod soil, broken the previous year for
this crop, provided the soil is in good
condition our later seedlings require
much less seed than the older varieties,
and | can raise more potatoes by cutting
to single eyes, and planting one in q
place-planted in drills about Is inches
in the drills in rows about 1-2 feet. If
in hills, no more than eyes-hills
about feet to 3 IL each way. [ think
the drill system is the best. [ adopt it
altogether.
Ashes for potatoes never tried.

cession on the same ground, keeping
up the strength of the soil with well
rotted manure have been troubled the
past year with the white grub. | have
used lime, and have found it benefit
on the black soil, but in the light
clay soil have discovered no beneficial
effects.
After planting usually run the cul-
tivator first, then hoe around the plants

shoots, follow this up with the cultiva-
tor, and wind up with the shovel pillow,

Value of Little Birds i'm Orchards.

The immense number of noxious in
sects that little birds will destroy held
high carnival in our fruit orchards last
season. There has never been a year
before the past when SO many wormy
and insect-bitten apples were sent to
market. The universal complaint is in
almost every section of country "Our
apples are nearly worthless, as they
were all so wormy." But fire away at
the useful little birds snare them de-
stroy their nests; encourage rude boys
to stone and shoot every bird within
we shall hear no complaint about
wormy fruit, as there will be none; be-
cause the insects and fruit pests will
destroy every embryo blossom or young
fruit before it can mature. Where
birds are encouraged to dwell in an Or
chard, the codling moth and canker
worm, which destroy thousands of bush
els of apples, are all devoured by the
birds before the depredators can reach
the leaves and the fruit. We say, spare
the birds. Little birds of all sorts; like
small, smooth and fat worms, like the
larva of the codling worm moth. If
birds are numerous in fruit orchards
this depredator will do very little injury
to the apple crop.
1t is a crime for which our country was
punished severely last year, to destroy
such large numbers of harmless little
birds as are shot and trapped during
every month of the year. The beauti-
full little sparrows, which have been in
troduced at such great expense of
time and care, are every day brought
into the New York markets by the
hundreds, and sold at extortionate
prices as game, for human food. Robins
and quails, in uncounted numbers, are
also exposed at the game-stands and
sold. 1t does seem as if our people are
stupidity bent on destroying the goose
that lays the golden'egg by killing the
useful little birds.

Some Strong Talk About Eating Onions

Mr.. Warner, in his book, "My Sum-

the onion:

prejudice against the onion; but there
is rather cowardice in regard to it. l
doubt that all men and women love the
onion, but few confess their love. Aztec
ton for it is concealed. Good New
Englanders are as shy of owning it as
they are of talking about religion.

eat onions-what they might call Gre
treats" or their Thursdays" The act
is in the nature of a religious ceremony,
an Eleusianian mystery, not breath of

A GENTLEMAN of leisure and scientific
tastes, living near Glasgow, Scotland,
gives to the world the following: While
out walking, he observed two bees issu-

a defunct body of comrade, with which
they flew for distance of twelve yards.
He followed them closely, and noted
the care with which they secured con-
venient hole at the side of the gravel
walk, the tenderness with which they
committed the body, head downward,
to the earth, and the solicitude,
with which they afterward pushed two
little stones, doubtless in memoriam."
Their task being ended, they paused
for about moment, perhaps to drop
over the grave of their friend a sympa-
thizing tear, and then flew away to their
hive.
