Tho POintO Onion

Mr.. II. Keep, of Maine, says in the Vermont
FdrmGr:The most striking popularity OF
this onion is that it wants to be planted or SCI
out in the fall instead of in the spring. Al
who have used it have learned the difficulty
of keeping it through the winter, and pre-
venting Its either growing or rotting. We mus
dry the best we can before taking them in
then house them in the chamber as long as
they are safe there from hard freezing; ther
remove to the dryest part of the cellar and
in spite Of all we can do they will grow OF
rot before we can set them out in the spring
and if planted after new roots have starte d
the process disturbs their growth and dimin
ishes their size.
Now, the French people here who have
cultivated and raised these onions more than
any others have long been in the habit OF
preparing their lands and setting them out in
the fall. In this way they make sure of theil
seed, which might otherwise be lost by rot
for we never find an onion of this sort hur
by winter freezing in the ground, but FIND
them well started to grow when the snow goes
off How this would be where they do moi
have much snow and much frozen ground ]
canno say, but this is always the case here
If they can have highly MANFRED land, and
the benefit of their first start in growth, they
will grow TO good size.
Another thing not generally understood is
that the smaller the seed the better the growth
We break the clusters apart, pick out the
largest 10 cook, and plant the smallest, and
the French even cut them in two. Thi,
may seem an anomaly in scientific culture
but it is the case in this one thing-thc "wee
bits" make the largest onions.

is no coloring matter of any kind in ii, and
yet ii is just as yellow as if made in summer
The cows stand in the stable during the entire
winter, which is kept scrupulously clean, the
cows being curried and brushed every day.
They are fed on steamed corn stalks orchard
grass, and straw with wheat bran. The but
ter is all packed in single pound rolls,
stamped in the elegant and attractive form OF
this sample, and then wrapped in thin cot
ton cloth. One hundred of these rolls, one
hundred pounds weight, is then packed in a
tin box with four compartments, twenty-five
pounds in each compartment in such man
ner that they do not move or get mussed; al
each end otthis box Isl compartment which is
filled with ice. Tie tin box is then enclosed
in a very strong wooden tub, with tightfit'
ting cover, when it is ready to be sent to
market. Mrs Crozer's butter, made and
packed in this manner, finds ready sale IN
New York at eighty cents per pound. we
think this specimen, which is only one among
a thousand, is as choice and neat as 1t can
possibly he. Itspeaks volumes of praise, no.
only for the excellence and superiority OF Mr.
Crozier's dairy, but the benefits of stcaming
food in the winter. One ofthe finest sights to
be seen in America is the row ofdairy cows al
Beacon Farm. TO see these and the dairy
with its neatness and perleclon.in all respects
will well repay any one.

viii ask the reader to cook two turnips in
two different ways. The first is to be peeled
and sliced and LETT to soak in cold water for
an hour or more The slices are to be boiled
until quite tender, and then are TO be drained
and nicely mashed with butter. This is the
most common way OF cooking and it has the
dement, of washing out the gum and the sugar
and the other finer constituents OF the root
and consequently the flavor is very much re
duced. The other root is to be washed quite
clean; but it is not to be peeled, or cut, oil
soaked. Boil it whole, in its Jacket Ii
will take twice as loag to cook as the one tina
was cut. When, by trying it with a fork, you
find it quite tender, take 1t up, peal it, press i
moderately, and mash ii with butter. Yol
will be surprised at the difference. INSTEAD
of being Is perhaps you will expect, strong
rank or bitter, it will be deliciOasly full
favored, and will contain all the nourshmen
that was in it before it was cooked.-Gard

The beneficial influence of weak alkali
wash upon the bark of fruit trees is of long
standing acknowledgement Its action is in
expansion OF the pores, while at the SAME
time it is destructive Of all animal life, spor
adic or otherwise. Writers or theorists dltlel
as to the best time to apply it; but we have
always found that if good common sense b'
used in preparing it, the time of application
is always good And now for the prepare
ton If you use purchased potash, reduce i
so that you can bear your finger in it half
minute or more without tingling or sor,
sensation. Ifyou can obtain good soft soal
from the refuse grease and I've of ashes savec
up dry, then take it and reduce it th'

not be ropy, when used by a soft white wash
brush Use it freely, and it matters not ma
terially just when, but say now, and any time
most convenient until the lst July; but aftel
that time it is perhaps better to wait till thu
next year.--Americdn Farm Journal
