PROPERTIES OF CHARCoAL.-As top
dressing for meadow or a lawn it is excel
lent. 1t is so good an absorbent of moisture
and grasses that it will keep a lawn green in Il
drought when the undressed fields are brown
and parched. As a basis for compost there is
nothing superior. Every good housewife
knows that if she has any tainted meat char
coal will take out it's taints if anything can.
\ piece as big as ones fist put into the pot
with boiling corned beef that has passed it's
prime will absorb the bad odors and restore it
to sweetness if the putrefacton process has
not gone too far. mike manner charcoal acts
in the compost heap. An ef1uvia even from a
dead horse, will be absorbed and stored up for
the use of corn, grass or any crop to which 1t
may be applied. AS top dressing for grass
or grain it is particularly beneficial, AS when
the rich gasses have once been extracted it is
in position to absorb more from the dewS.
SHOWS and rains. PlOughed undera thick sod
it's absorbing power is comparatively limited.
We must not omit to mention the areating
effect which fine charcoal has on stiff clay
lands. 1t renders them friable and permeable
to air and moiSture--a result which can hardly
be overestmated. Muck has something of the
same effect, but muck does not last aS does
charcoal On sandy lands charcoal does good,
us it is such an absorbent of moisture that thin
lands dressed with it will remain fresh when
the undressed are parched. The only place
where charcoal seems to exert little or on
ameliorating influence is on low, cold, wet
lands, and here even stable manure has COM
paratively little effect.

ToP-DREsSING IN AUTUMN.-The recon-
mendation we see in many quarters to top
dress grass lands in Autumn we cannot
wholly endorse. While we have no doubt Of
the efficacy Of this suggestion in a general
sense, and have advocated it, we think under
certain conditions some grass lands would be
more benefited if the application were made
early in the Spring. In fields where the
ground has tendency to heave, throwing up
the grass and exposing the roots to the direct
action of the the frost, Autumn top-dressing,
which will protect the ground, is much to be
preferred. and the application can be made
either with the aftermath, straw or manure,
as the condition of the soil may seem to re-
quire. But if the ground is not liable to
heave, coat of manure as early in the Spring
us it can be applied, not lumRy, and spread
uniformly, will secure heavier crop of grass.
There need be no fear of the manure inter-
fering with the moving of the crop or the
making of the hay, nasmuch as we have
found that tie top-dressing is soon beaten
down by the rains and is quite out of reach
of the operations Of harvesting by the time
that period arrives We are not merely salts
fled of the correctness of this view from our
own experience, but from that of numerous
farmers whose opinions on any subject of prac-
tical farming can at all times be relied upon

How TO KEEP ONIoNS.-Many complain
that onions do not keep. The trouble is in
keeping them too warm. The onion is bulb,
plant at rest, and the least warmth starts
them into activity. 1t is much better that
onions should remain frozen through the win
ter, provided they can thaw gradually, than to
put them into a cellar or other warm place
where their vegetative powers will be aroused.
If put in large heaps, onions will be sure to
spoil but if spread in thin layers and covered
with hay or straw, so that if frozen the thaw-
ngwill be gradual, they will keep well through
the winter. 1t is the custom with onion
growers to get their crop to market as soon as
possible. If they were to provide proper sto-
rage they would realize much more from them
when sent to market later in the SEASON.

The ws.er is so low in the pond of the
Augusta Water Co. that it has been deemed
necessary TO stop running the sity sprinklers
for the present. BEFORE the drouth came up
on US, repairs and improvements were made
about the pond which compelled the COM
pany TO run off some few feet of water, SO
that the dry spell found them with only
about 100000 gallons on hand. This has
been redaced one half, but it is thought that
with little economy among consumers the
supply need not further decrease, as about as
much water will run into the reservoir in ~
hours as is used in that time for ordinary
purposes. II takes some $4,000 gallons OF
water day to sprinkle State, Water and
other streets, aud this is a drain which the
pond cannot well bear at present. The
steamer Cushnoc was stationed at the wharf
all last night and forced stream of water
through the pipes up into the pond. The
supply was thereby increased about 90, 0OO
gallons. The draught has been unusually
seVere,as the fierce sun beating down upon the
pohd caused rapid evaporation. No appre.
hensions need be felt of water famine. but
'he liquid should not be wasted.

why Courtney failed to meet Hanlan in a

the authentic announcement, that on the DAYS
fixed for the race, Courtney was unable to
sit in his she'll on account of the intense itch
ing and soreness caused by the Piles. Hav-
ing recovered through the use of Swayne's
Ointment. he now announces that he will row
