Harvesting Onions.

In a favorable season, with proper
culture and good seed, the onion crop
will mature evenly and the time of har-
vest be indicated by the dropping over
of the greater part or all of the tops.
A soon as tho Drop ia ready to harvest
it is best to pull at once, for the onions
will be brighter and keep better than if
permitted to remain in the ground after
they have attained their growth and the
tops have lost their lively green color.
Under adverse circumstances onions
sometimes incline to run to scallions
and many of the tops refuse to drop
down and dry up. A common practice,
when this state of affairs exists, is to
roll an empty barrel over the bed, to
break the tops down few days previ-
Gus to pulling the crop.
When the main crop is ripe harvest
it and sort out what is unfit for market
or table use Pull the onions by hand
or rake them out with an ordinary hand
rake. One mode 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. If a
rain occurs, these heaps must be opened
on Il fair day and replied, 50 as to rid
them of the moisture that would other
wise blacken and iniure the onions.
The usual plan is to cart the crop
away when the tops have become
thoroughly dry and store in some cool,
dry place where there is free circula-
ton of air. There are cultivators,
however, who leave the onions in the
field after pulling until freezing weather
or until they are sold, believing that
early housing induces sweating and
sprouting.
The tops ought not to be removed
until they are dead throughout their
entire length. Many farmers delay
topping their onious until they arc
marketed. When the onions are to be
kept through the winter it is advisable tc
store that crop where the frost will not
affect it and where no loss will be sus.
tanned from heating or growing. The
cellar is not good place unless il
chances to be a dry, cool one. A lat.
tice-work bin affords an admirable
storage, provided it is raised a little
from the floor in some weIl-ventilated
building. Onions receive little or nc
injury from freezing, provided always
they are thawed out gradually, but as
this cannot be insured the safe plan is
to protect them. When freezing weather
approaches some farmers spread layer
OF straw about twelve iAches deep up
on the, barn, or garret iiqpr ron, this they
place layer of onidns.| say five or SIX
inches deep, and cover with layer of
straw about two feet deep, held in
place by boards OF, rails. .Trsges.
If by any chance onions become
frozen they should remain undisturbed
and covered until thawed. .. T.

spirit, would care to get. 1t is reported
that the volcano of Ometope, Lake Mic

pie are fleeing, with probabilities that

point about forty miles from the Atlantic
ocean, Mother Earth is belching forth
from numerous openings great
showers ofred-hot sand, and noises are
constantly heard proceeding from some
subterranean source, as if great cal
dron of water as large as the 1maglna-
ton can create were boiling down be-
low. On the Gulf of Urubu, at Turbo,
instead of sand showers the earth is
vomiting great volumes of water, and
the streets of the town are flooded to a
depth of two feet. Two small villages,
Boujuies and Nicurio, have been COM
pletely inundated and restroyed by the

Feeding Sheep.
Farming World.

Farming World.
You must not cole ct large flock OF
sheep before you get something for them
to eat, and that something must be their
natural food. That food is grass-grass
that is sodded and perennial. The
stomach of a sheep is small, and he eats
but little at time. and wants that little
very often, and every two or three hours;
hence he should be where he can gather
his own food. The tendency of all kinds
o. grain and dry provender Is to make
sheep unhealthy. A little grain before
sending to the shambles is useful to help
fatten, but fat itself is disease and
should be avoided so far as possible in
all breeding animals. Likewise should
the other extreme, namely, poverty, be
avoided. l have seen sheep degenera-
ted from poverty more in one generation
than they could be improved in two or
three. l have seen much in the papers
about sheep loving bitter weeds, briars,
sassafras and the like, and they are good
scavengers for foul farm. My sheep
love the cultivated grasses best. | re-
member once to have killed some sassa-
fras with sheep, but also killed some
of my sheep. 1t was done by combining
them too long to the same territory, as
well as to the same food. Sheep need
to have their pasture changed at least
once month. And this new pasture is
us much TO force them to sleep in new
place as it is to give variety of food.
No sheep can be healthy long that sleeps
on the same place and over his own ex-
crement every night.

Underneath New Orleans.

In his graphic account of GOOD and
Plague in New Orleans" which is pro-
fusely illustrated, in July Century,
George w. Cable describes as follows the
geological formations underneath the
city as was ascertained in boring an
artesian well. The alluvial surface
deposit is generally two or three feet
thick, and rests on substratum of uni
form and tenacious blue clay. The well
in Canal street found this clay fifteen
feet deep. Below it lay four feet more
of the same clay mixed with woody mat
ter. Under this was amixture of sand
and clay ten feet thick, resembling the
annual deposits of the river. Beneath
this was found, one after another, con-
tinual, irregular alterations of these clay
strata, sometimes foot, sometimes sixty
feet thick, and layers of sand and shells
and of mixtures ofthese with clay. Some
times stratum of quicksand was passed
At five hundred and eighty-two feet was
encountered a layer of hard pan; but
throughout no masses ofrock were found !,
only few water worn pebbles and some
contorted and perforated stones. No
abundance of water flowed. The con-
tinual alterations of tough clay and loose
sand and shells in such variable thick
nesses gave clear illustration of the
conditions of delta soil that favor the
undermining of the Mississippi banks
and their fall into the river at low stages
of water, levees being often carried with
them.
Foleer will give the bonds rest for an
other month.

Professor L. B. Arnold says butter
which is well washed in good water, es-
pecially when it is gathered in pellets or
granu es instead of in mass, has no
taste of buttermilk, and for this reason
those who prefer that flavor do not ad-
mire it so much as unwashed butter.
Nine out Of every ten persons, however,
prefer the pure, distinct and full flavor
of butter unauthorized with buttermilk
or disguised with excessive salt, and this
flavor is only obtained by washing every
particle of buttermiIk from it and avoid
the working which must follow when
washing is omitted.
