RARa, GARDEN AND IIousEnOID,



InoW venture 70 suggest now bnI
Himplo1cmedy for want Of sleep, sayl
Frank auckland, lhenaturalist. opiatos
IN my form, even tho Liqlior ofH soda
aud chi5rodync, will leave tfnccs Of theh
inhuencp tho next morning. ! there
ioro prescribe for myself, and have fire.
qnently done so for otliera-onions,
simply common onions raw, but Spanish
onions aiowcd VIII do. Everybody
knows tho tastn OF onions; this IL due "a
apccnliar essential oil contained in this
most valuable aud healthy root. This
oil has, ] ain surc, soporihc powers. In
my own case they never fnil. II / am
preVad with work, and feel x shall not
sleep, cat two or three small onions,
md ihe elect Is magical. Onions are
also excellent things 10 eat when exposed
TO intense cold. Mr.. Parnaby, Trout
dale Fishery Keswicls, informed me
that when collecting salmon and trout
aggs in the winter, he finds that common
raw onions enable him. and his mon 10
bear the ice aud cold Of the semi-frozen
water much better than beer, etc. The
English Aitie expedition, have therefore
taken d good stock Of onions with them.
Finally, II person cannot sleep, II Is
because the blood is in the brain, not IN
lis stomach. This Is 10 be remedied by
citing biscuit, o hard-boiled egg, q
Bit oil bread and cheese or something,
Follow this up. with q glass Of vino or
milk, on even wator, and you will fall
asleep and viii, we think, blOss tho

Keeping Meat Fresh. ,l'a
AS soon as the animal heat Il out Of
the meat, slice Il up ready for cooking.

one tablespoonful OF saltpeter TO ono

the jar with q sprinkle OF salt md pep

manner till tho jar Is full. Fold CLOTH
or towel and wet IL in strong salt and

over tic meat and set IN a cool place.
BE sure and press tho cloth ON tightly as
oaGli layer Is removed, and your meat
ayill keep for months. II is q good plan
!, 10 lot tho meat lie over night after IL Is
sliced, before packing. Then drnin of
all the blood that oozes from II. 1t will
be necessary TO change the cloth .oca,

Weight of Grain. s d
One Of tho troubles country grim
hliippeshayeis the variations in weights
between Themselves and tho elevators.
In ono elevator fow years ago, We learn
the excess over the amount Of grain set
tied for was over 5000 bnHliels- I'm
amount sufficient to denny all the or.
ponses Of running the elevator for a year.
To Qbyiate this swindle upon the farm
GrS, IL Is proposed to have tho Legialh,
turcs Of the Western States pass q I.e,y
compelling the roads, or, Of any rate, NJ
lowing the shippers 10 put in, ut each
railway station, q set Of scales which
shaliibe kept true, TO weigh the grain
bcforesit d shipped. This will DO 4
check upon tho frequent practices that
have obtained to a grieyous extent
among tho elevators, and the shippers
have Ind 10 suffer without remedy.
Those grange and agricultural papers
that are not afrnid OF losing little job
printing or apass would do well to no
tice this E1ggestion--a suggestion that
