1t is true that while the Democrats
had control of Congress it was not six
years, but four3the did not effect as
much in the reformation Of abuses as
could be wished but this is because, while
the Democrats had control of Congress,
the Republicans had control of the whole
executive and administrative machinery.
The Presidency. the Cabinet. the revenue
service, the Indian Bureau. the
custom-houses and the 100000 Federal
offices were still in the hands of
Republicans, and what the Democrats
did had to be done againstthe stubborn
opposition of these powerful influences
Nevertheless, they accomplished some

Profit in Onions.

More money can be realized from q
given amount of land in onions, taken
one season with another, than from any
other crop that can be raised. A large
amount Of hand labor Is required. how
ever, to produce the crop, which must
be put in very early. The labor of old
persons and children can be utilized to
good advantage in raising onions. as
most of the work required Is light. The
best land for onions Is black muck con-
tanning good deal of loam. The manure
should be the most thoroughly rotted
part from the. farnl-yard. Too much
manure can not be used. It should be
well mixed with the sod, say by spread
ing, turning under, and cross narrowing.
This should be done in the fan to secure
the best results. In the spring the
ground should be cultivated and har-
rowed TIL 1t Is as fine IS it can be made.
Then the onion seed should be drilled in
in rows fourteen inches apart. 1t win
take four or five pounds OF seed 10 the
acre As good varieties as any are
yellow Danyers, red Wethersfeld, and
silverskin. The latter are not good
keepers, but sell well. As soon as the
young onions appear they should be
hoed or cultivated. The great secret in
growing onions is TO keep them free
from weeds. Therefore, hoe or eula-
vats frequently, though no weeds may
at that moment be above the suxface.
When the onions are ripe they should
be pulled and left on the ground TIL the
tops are dry; then they are gathered
up and bagged for mazket--ohsoa9o

Yalue Of Straw and Roots.

The high price of hay and grain the
past winter will teach grain-raisers the
Yalue of straw, IL they have paid any at
tention to it, in the fodder for their cat
tie. In the Eastern States, when hay
brings high. price the farmers find Il
an advantage TO sell it when near fair
market, and buy bran, shorts, and even
meal, to mix up with cut straw, as feed
for cattle and horses, instead of hay.
Corn stalks are also cut up and supple
mented with ground feed, as above.
1t is great mistake ON the part of
farmers to burn their straw and stalks,
and TO let the ashes be scattered to the
winds, as is often the case. Wheat
growers ought always to keep stock to
eat up their straw, and save the manure
carefully, to spread on their land. In
this way they may keep up and even in
crease the fertility of their soil, instead
of gradually impoverishing it. We
know that the possessors of q rich soil
are apt to disregard such course; hut,
except in the case of land being so situ-
ated as 10 be annually overaowed by q
richest of soils must eventually be made
barren by constant cropping, if no re-
turn is made to keep up its fertility.
Roots also are highly beneficial to
cattle, fed with straw, as Is done so
largely in Canada and it is question
whether growing and storing them in
many parts of our country may not be
more advantageous than using ensilage,
about which 50 much has recently been
said. Roots are especially beneficial TO
swine. II given as the larger part Of
their daily ration, either raw or cooked,
the animals being kept clean and well
sheltered, there viii be little danger of
cholera, or, indeed, of any other disease
among them.
American farmers are not so expert
enced in growing roots as the European |;
but such q vast emigration has lately
swarmed upon rs that our farmers will
find no trouble in securing good men
capable and willing to do this for them,
either on shares or for moderate wages.

Atmospheric Pressure.

The ordinary pressure Of the atmos-
phere on our bodies Is balanced by q
corresponding internal pressure acting
outwardly. Were it not for this, our
bodies would be crushed under the
weight of the atmosphere in which we
live. But this weight is variable. The
barometer indicates its changes, Just as
the thermometer does those of tempera-
ture. 1t differs in mountainous regions
from its weight on the sea-coast, or at
the average land-level. The mountain
eer's body becomes adapted to. the low
pressure, but q person who has lived
on lower land, on ascending high
mountain, initiates his lungs with diff
Guilty, and every effort is exhausting.
The atmospheric pressure also varies
with the weather. Indeed, the first
indication of a coming change of wealth
er Is the change in the barometer. This
enables the seaman to get his ship ready
for an approaching storm. Such changes
must cause important changes for good
or ill in the human body. The blood
vessels especially must enlarge or con-
tract, the changes diminishing or in
creasing the blood-how.
A peculiar disease that Is sometimes
fatal is produced by extreme pressure of
the atmosphere, being developed, how
ever, only when the pressure is removed.
1t is characterized by severe pain in the
extremities, often accompanied with
paralysis, headache, dizziness, coma
Qethargic stupor), and in fatal, cases,
with congestion of the brain, spinal cord
and abdominal organs. 1t is probable
that the pains which so frequently
enable a person to foretell coming
storm really depend on a change in the
atmospheric pressure. So the high
pressure of clear weather increases the
flow of blood to the brain, liver and
kidneys, and thus stimulates their
activity and gives a feeling Of health
and energy. A low pressure has the
opposite effect.
1t is also probable that these changes
have much to do with the attacks OF
paralysis, apoplexy and inward inflam-
nations, which often seem to be almost
