Raising we Gull the following information:

Raising" we Gull the following information:
SOIL.
sOnions can be raised on variety OF
soils, but yield the most satisfactory re-
turns on a sandy loan, a gravelly SOL, or,
to state a general rule, on those soils which
are light in structure"
PREPARING THE SOIL.
eDon't plant weedy soil TO onions, or
land which abounds in witch or crab grass
If you do You will repent it on your hands
end IDaae In the fertile
lands of the West the method of procedure
is simply this-land on which grows the
bushhazel is selected, if accessible, the
bushes cut down and the top surface but
little more than pared with the plow. In
this condition it is usually allowed to re-
main a season exposed to the drying effects
of the sun, when it is most thoroughly har-
rowed and raked, and all the numerous
roots and wastes burned. The land is then
plowed to moderate depth and the seed
sown either broadcast or in drills"
FLOWING.
ssThe farmer who brings up the sub-soil
in his onion bed, will find he made mis-
take. Onions do not require deep blowing,
four or five inches is a sufficient depth to
insure a good crop. In
the West the ground having been plowed
in the fall, frequently only receives Guilt
waiting or narrowing in the spring.
GAS the great object is to get the land in
a thoroughly fine condition, to facilitate the
covering of the seed with fine earth, to
leave the soil light that there may be Wig
orous growth of the plants,
no pains should be spared TO attain
this end"
HOW MUCH SEED TO THE ACRE.
'If it is designed to pull the onions when
small for punching for the market, seven or
eight pounds of seed will be required to the
acre. II the intent is to raise the very
small onions known as sets, then much
larger quantity will be required"
KIND OF SEED.
teThe Danver onion is the most hand
some in shape, and yields as much as any
other sort, and more than any of the fiat
varieties. The large red is
quite a favorite in the West, and is consid-
cred by some dealers the best variety for
shipping purposes"
IThe White Portugal or Silver Skin takes
best in the Southern market.
SOWING AND SAVING.
H'The ground having been prepared, as
already directed, broad shallow drills, from
one to two inches in width, are made about
ten inches apart, and the seed sown early
in the spring, very thickly. When the
crop has matured it is pulled and stored in
cool airy lofts, being spread very thinly over
the foor-those raised from the White
Portugal to the depth of about two inches
and those of the other sorts to depth of
about four. A gentle raking occasionally is
of advantage to promote dryness and pre-
vent sprouting."

sOILFOR THE POTATO.

Almost any well drained soil will do. A
clay loan is probably the best. 1t is the
best as it is cool and moist, two Characters
tics which the potato requires, and which
are not so readily obtainable with sand or
gravel. But the land wants to be mellow,
and deeply mellow; this is to secure the one
quality, moisture, which, in our
droughty summers, is generally
found lacking; it must not lack
with the potato. Hence deep culture, and
when the soil is in condition to make it most
mellow, the state between the dry and wet,
always avoiding the wet, the dry not import
ant in the fall, so that the land can be well
plowed. And the fall is the time, and good
at that. The soil must be re-plowed with
the first chance in the spring; it cannot be
done too early, providing it is dry enough
and the soil is well rotted, which it will be
if the blowing has been done early enough
in the fall. This is important, this early
work, so as to give chance for early plant
ing, for it should be understood, if it is not,
that the potato cannot be planted too early.
With the first mellow soil this should be
done. PlOw not only, but cultivate and
harrow, so as to get the soil pOwdery
mellow, which the rotten turf will favor.

EEAMELING THE FACE, AND THE
RESULT
From the Louisville Ledger

rum tIlt LOUISVILLE Ledger.
A lady in Louisville paid seventy-five dol
lars, We are told, for having her face
enameled for the ball given at the Gait
House to the Grand Duke Alexis. The
enamel was warranted to last three days,
and so it did. The lady was taken i'll upon
her return home from the ball, her face be-
came greatly swOlleH, the most acute pain
succeeded, and it was only by the employ
ment Of the best medical skill that her life
was saved. This statement we have from
an undoubted source.
But the case of this lady il not 50 bad as
that of another Louisville lady who be-
came enamOred Of the odous fashion of
enameling the face. She visited another
city, far to the eastward, some five months
ago, for the sole purpose Of having her face
enameled according to the latest Partisan
mode. She had heard that Partisan was
engaged in the enameling business at the
city In question, and to him she went upon
her arrival. For the sum of five hundred
dollars he agreed to enamel her face so
scientifically that the enamel would remain
unchanged for three years, ands a year or
two longer if extra care was taken in wash
ing the face according to his prescribed
method. The devotee of fashion concluded
the bargain, and PAD three hundred dollars
of the sum named, the balance to be paid
in yearly installments, divided into three
years.
The lady received her enamel and return
ed to her home in this city. Since her re-
turn she has disappC AIRED from society.
There was so much poison in the enamel
that its effects were almost total paralysis of
the facial nerves, and what was once a
beautiful face is to-day distorted, disfgur-
ed and ulcerous one.
The lady's beauty has disappeared for
ever, and if her physicians succeed in saw
ing her life they will have accomplished
more than they had a right to hope for
Her eyes are terribly infamed and disfgur-
ed, and the sight of them fast failing.

LEACHED WOOD ASHES.

''AIy opinion of soapers' ashes," says an
English farmer, sis confined to the applica-
ton of it as a top-dressing on pasture land.
About twelve years ago agreed with a
soap-boiler for 1900 tons of soapers' ashes.
used to apply about twenty wagonloads
per acre, and single bushing would let the
whole in. was laughed at and abused for
my folly; the wise ones alleging that my
land would be burned up for years, and to-
tally ruined; all which l disregarded, and
applied my soapers' ashes every day in the
year, reeking from the vat, without any
mixture whatever. l tried six acres mixed
up with earth; but l found it only done
things by halves. My land never burned;
but from the time of the application became
a dark green color, bordering upon black;
and has given me more, but never less, than
two tons per acre ever since.n

THE chicago Tribune has short cut to
woman suffrage, and is surprised that Mrs.
Hooker, Mrs. Woodruff, and the rest of
them who propose to creep into the Con-
stitution through its crevices, do not come
to the polls in male attire, short hair, stove
pipe hats and knee boots, and offer to vote.
The theory is that pair of pantaloons is
worth more to them than a constitutional
amendment, as it would be an insult to
touch upon the question ofactual sex, which
no well-bred inspector would be guilty of.
