ONIONS WITH SUGAR.-"W yncoop,"
in the New York Tribune, says major
ity Of people like onions as food, and,
only for the perfume, many would eat
them now who do not. That they are
antiscorbutic as we'll as antiseptio is
also admitted, and this is the way
prepare them. A few moments before
they are to be eaten they should be slic-
ed quite thin and sprinkled plentifully
with sugar, the juice Of the onion will
dissolve the sugar, and you have pala-
table relish which will not raise on the
stomach or produce heartburn. A trial
will afford proof.
PoTTED MEAT ScRAPs.--It not unfre-
quently happens in family that guam

or melted butter, according to the kind
of meat, or to suit your own taste. Then
pack it tight into jar, and cover over
the top with about quarter Of an inch
Of melted butter. 1t will keep months,
and alwaos afford ready and excellent

Editor 4ntt-Momopolas'.
A farmers experience Tor three years
among hoppers does not agree with the
commissioners as reported. That the
female hoppers bore themselves into the
ground backward leaving their latter
half in their seifmade graves, while their
heads and wings blow away, and that
the males lie dormant until spring."
Il is a pity that any one that eau draw
so abundantly on their Imagination
could not be induced to try on the same
experiment and bury their intellectual
half and let their heads and coat tails
blow away.
The male does not lie dormant, on
the contrary he travels with his female
hopper who lays nest full, (about forty
eggs,) several times during the season,
and he is very gallant and repeats his
gallant conduct from the first of July to
the last of September if cold weather
does not lay them both out for good at an
earlier date.
We have any amount of encourage
ment that a red parasite, bug. a worm,
dies, birds, and thousand and one oths
er things, are eating both hoppers and
eggs, and that now the eggs are hatch-
Ing out. The public prints TEEN with
such gasconade. We were told the
same thing two years ago and now
comes rehash of the same again. Bat

influences will perceptioly reduce
