4 Honeiy Vegetable -Onions
arc over-rated 10y many people. We
have always maintained that they
are not Wholesome. However, a
single onion may be eaten at dinner
with relish az well as single pickle
but there IL perhaps 10 vegetable
more misused than oniobs. We
know house wives who imagine that
they cannot possibly make eooi
soup without onions, whilo all the
effect is to flavor the kitchen AMI the
house with their Udor. Iu boiling
them tho very volatile and abomin-
able onion flavor disappears entirely
by volatizatiou in tho air. Some
people use them II. a med cino for all
diseases when any one hasa cold
they are given blllnl or fried onion,

OF itself, a. il the case with all coils,
tho onions 20, the Gro IL Of it. Then
they slice onions ani apply thom to
rheumatic joints--in short, onions
are used ex,eriorly as vol "a iutcro
iorly for most all kinds OF common
diseases, aud it is to be regretted
that soms other le's uus,vory aud
iuert ar,icle has not attauei the re-
putation that onions have undeserve-
dly reached.

Improved Misunderstanding of all
occupations is susceptible Of the
greatest advance through thorough
study aud kuowlo l.e Of nitIres ;
forces aud WORKINGS. Al hour,
thought aud plapniug may save u

well understood. may determine
course that will double tho crop or
divide tho expenses Of cultivation.
