Pulling and Curing Onions.

As soon as the onion crop is ready to
harvest pull at once, the sooner the bet
ter The onions will be brighter and
keep longer than if permitted to remain
in the ground after they have attained
their growth and the tops lose their
lively green color.
In a favorable season, with proper
culture and good seed, the crop will ma
ture evenly, and the time of harvest be
designated by the dropping over of the
greater part or all of the onion tops.
Under adverse circumstances onions
will incline to run to scallions and many
of the tops refuse to drop down and dry
up. A common preventive when this
state of affairs exists is to roll an empty
barrel over the bed to break them down
a few days previous to pulling the crop.
As soon as the main crop has ripened
it is advised to harvest it, sorting out
what is unfit for market or table use
Onions may be pulled by hand or raked
out with an ordinary Mandrake. A COM
mon practice is to throw them into
heaps containing two or three bushels,
there to remain until the tops are cured
and the bulbs are hard and solid. Should
a rain occur, these heaps must be
opened on q fair day and piled again,
otherwise they will retain moisture
enough to blacken and injure the onions.
Some cultivators leave their onions in
the field after pulling until freezing
weather or until they are sold, believing
that early housing induces sweating and
sprouting. The usual plan, however, is
to cart the crop away when the tops
have become thoroughly dry and store
in some dry, cool place where there is
free circulation of air. The tops should
not be removed until they are dead
throughout their entire length. Many
farmers delay topping onions until they
are marketed.
When it is desired to keep onions
through the winter it is wise to store the
crop where frost will not affect it, and
where no loss will be sustained from
heating or growing. The cellar is not a
good place unless it be dry, cool one.
& lattice-work bin affords good stor-
age. provided it is raised a little from
the floor, in some well-ventilated build
ing.
When freezing weather approaches,
some farmers spread straw to a depth
of twelve or fifteen inches upon a barn
or carret floor; on this they spread a
LAYER of onions from six to ten inches
thick. covered in turn by q layer of
straw. say, two feet in depth. and held
in place by old boards and rails.
Onions receive little or no injury from
freezinc, provided always they are
thawed out gradually; as this cannot
aIwavs be insured, the safe plan is to
,,rotect them. If by any chance they
become frozen, however, let them re-
main undisturbed and covered until
thawed. Y. World.

Diseases of Poultry.

Fowls are particularly liable to colds.
as the air-cells occupy so large part OF
their physical framework. Where there
is slight cold, put the fowl in a warm,
sunny place, give warm food, and moth
ing more will be needed. The same
method should be pursued in hard colds.
If there is much fever, put four drops of
tincture of aconite into the water, or
sweeten it, and make it a little sour with
sulphuric or nitric acid. Add to the
food pinch of ginger or cayenne pep
per. If there is much swelling about
the head, mild purge will be useful.
The hom9opaths give mercur virus for
slight colds, euphrasia for more serious
ones; each thrice daily, adding aconite
for the fever.
A roup may only begin with catarrh,
and, like roup, catarrh and bronchitis,
sometimes cause death. But how are
we to know such cases from roupp Sim
ply by the offensive discharge at the
beak which characterizes the latter dis
ease. When the fowl has discharge at
the beak that is not offensive, you may
call it simple catarrh or common cold.
When the odor is bad it is roup. No
better distinction is possible in the pres
cIlU SUdlC VI VI 1oWA diIiChto.
The difficulty in telling these maladies
apart will suggest to the careful poul-
terer prompt isolation of cases where he
is not certain.
Cough may come from parasites in the
air passages. This applies more par
ticularly to the sneezing effort caused by
the cape worm in the throat of young
chickens. A spasmodic cough, lasting
whole day even, is reported as having
accompanied the epizootic. 1t yielded
under treatment with potash.
Consumption, or tubucular deposits,
may be suspected where a cough does
not yield to treatment, and admits of no
other explanation. Cod-liver oil in
barley meal would be the treatment if
any one really wanted to save consump-
tive fowls. They ought to be killed.
Asthma is nothing more than roup, as
far as we know, and very likely this
name may have been given to cases OF
that sort.-An,erica, Poultry Yard.

College, while making a trip to Iowa,

over. The current carried the wagon

"A correspondent of Philadelphia
newspaper in Honesdale, Pa, writes of
the curious life and adventures of wo-
man named Lucy Ann Lobdell, who was
married at seventeen, was deserted q
year later, and became known as the
s'Female Hunter Of Long Eddy" She
assumed a mans garments, shouldered
her gun, and used to tramp through the
woods from the Hudson to the Susque-
hanna, making flying visits to her moth
er, who lived at Long Eddy, N. Y, and
to whom she had confded the care of a
little child. She had at least a dozen
habitations, most of them caves, and
her life was filed with hazardous ad-
venture. Finally her health broke down
and she returned to civilization, found
her way to the poorhouse, left it and
married another female inmate of the
institution by a practical hoax, lived
with the woman for long time, but
was arrested and put in jail as vagrant
while tramping about the country.
When released she deserted her wife,
and finally found her way into an insane
asylum. She was crack shot, a per-
feet woodsman, and had the courage
and strength of man, and the tales she
told at the insane asylum are said to
have been full of the widest spirit of
romance and adventure.
