Onion Culture.

To prepare for an onion crop next year. SOW
your seed next month, and allow the onions
to grow about as large as marbles. To pre-
vent them from growing too large, pass a
hand roller over them and break down the
tops. Before cold weather, pull up the bulbs
and dry them thoroughly; then cut off the
tops and put the onions away in dry place.
Next spring plant these little sets the same as
you would the common top onions, and they
will come on very early and make large bulbs
long before those raised from seed. In the
localities where the seasons are short, and
onions do not succeed well from seed sown in
spring. this system of growing from sets may
be practiced with advantage.

thrifty" and the farm-work appears to be
thoroughly and judiciousy done. Miss Lau-
III Fuller was first called upon. This lady
wears "a short and rather loosely-ftting
dress, hood and II pair of mems boots"
She has " n beard rs heavy as is often seen
upon II man. and n voice that would not be
mistaken for that of II woman" She is "tol-
erably well informed" and showed that her
heart was in her vocation. That she plies it
without masculine help, and with decided
prosperity is unquestionabe. Her sister, FL
ecta, is, however. regarded as the best man
ager and "most business-like person of the
two" Her visitor found this lady to have
much the appearance of her sister, but she is
more dignified and patriarchal, with head
considerably bald, and locks whitened by the
frosts of many winters" Miss Fuller. we
are assured, cut away the virgin forest that
once covered her farm with her own hands
All the toll that was needed TO bring the land
into condition, she performed, solitary and
alone. She has reared stock of all kinds,
including fine horses and colts, for which
great fancy has been taken" The wild beasts
that formerly infested her neighborhood, this
Diana of the wilderness herself slew; and
rumor has it that "men who had presumed
to trifle with Electa, had fallen as did the
beasts and trees" We take it for granted
however, that this is one of those delicate ex-
aggerations which the world is so prone to
invent for persons at all eccentric, and that
wood and fur have been the only victims to
Miss Electa's bow and spear.

A NOVEL FESTIVAL.

Last spring the superintendent of Il Sunday
school in town near Boston, gave each
scholar IL kernels of corn, telling them to
plant them, and the proceeds at harvesting
were to 90 toward enlarging their library !;
he offered 81 as n premium to the one who
raised the most corn from the 10 kernels.
The corn having ripened, the time was set
for the festival; each member brought his or
her own bundle of corn to the town hall.
where a large number of friends had gather
ed. notwithstanding the evening was very
stormy. The premium was awarded to
James A. Hewes, as the one raising the
most corn, he having 80 full grown ears
One the scholars brought chicken that had
scratched up her corn, which was sold in
stead of the corn she had expected to raise ;
poor biddy was quite startled by being made
a public example of. Refreshments were
furnished the children, and farmers sup
per of baked beans, brown bread, pumpkin
pies, and so forth, was not sighted by the
company. The North Reading band furnish
ed excellent music. The whole receipts
expended in books for the school. One little
item deserves notice. Mr.. f. Breed of
Lynn, Il friend of the school, and who takes
lively interest in all that concerns it, but
who was unable to be present mt the festival
has since the gathering bought the largest
ear from the prize bunch at two cents II kerr
nel the ear amounting to S7.68.

ENGLISH IVY.

The use of English ivies for the purpose of
decorating living rooms is more extensive
every year. and cannot be too highly COM
mended. Being strong, they will live through
almost any treatment; but study their pecu-
larities and manifest willingness to crafty
them, and they will grow without stint
Most houses are too hot Tor them, us indeed
they are for their owners. Neither plants
nor people should have the average tempera-
ture over sixty-five degrees Fahrenheit
Take care and not enfeeble your ivies by I'M
due heat or excessive watering, and you will
find they will not seem to mind whether the
sun shines on them or not, in what position
or direction you train them. Indeed, so
much will they do of themselves to render u
room charming, that we would rather have
IN unlimited number to draw upon than
anything else in nature or art. Do you wish
the ugly plain door that shut off your tiny
entry from your parlor to be arched or curv-
ed, like those in the drawing room of your
richer neighbor? Buy couple of brackets,
such us lamps for the burning of kerosene
are sometimes placed in, and screw on the
sides of the door. Put in each plant of
English ivy, the longer the better; then train
the plants over the top, against the sides, in
deed any way your fancy dictates. You need
not buy the beautiful but costly pots the flow
er dealer will advise; common ungazed will
answer every purpose, for by placing in each
two or three sprays of Coliseum ivy, in IL
months time no vestige of the pot itself can
be dscerned through their thick screen
