Requisltes to Success with Onions.

Onions differ from most other crops
IN not requiring a rotation. In some
places the land has been in onions an
nually for half a century. If the crop
is to be grown for the first time, newly
cleared land is best, and next to that,
soil which has been in corn or potatoes.
/ A good, deep, rich loan, is essential, as
is heavy manuring. Fifty loads of sta
BILE manure to the acre are an ordinary
manuring, and may be supplemented
by ashes, bone flour, 'or guano, as a top
dressing. The seeds should be sown
very early; should be of the previous
years growth, and from a reliable rails
er. The rows are foot apart, leaving
every seventh for path, and from
three to six pounds of seed are sown to
the acre. On land not before in onions,
thin sowing is better than thick. After
sowing, roll the surface. Some SOW an
ounce or two of radish seed with every
pound of onion seed The radishes
come up in few days and mark the
rows so that a hand-cultivator or push
hoe can be run close to the rows even
before the onions are up. n
One essential point is wedding. I'm
less one is prepared to give thorough
wedding, and at the right time, he
should not attempt to raise onions. 1t
is no fancy work, and there is no ma
chine that will do it. Unless one can
go down en- his hands and knees astride
OF the row, and remove all the weeds
that are in the rows with his fingers, at
least twice, and sometimes three times,
he will not be much troubled at the
harvesting. Excellent hand-weeders
are made to run close to the row, but
until a ma hine can think, the rows
themselves must be weeded by hand.
Clean culture, which means the use of
wedding appliances as often as needed,
must be secured. .r...lt
In some localities the young onions
will be seen to die without apparent
cause. "A fly has laid her egg and the
grub is eating the interior of the young
bulb. All such onions must be taken
up, using knife to make sure of re-
moving the bulb with the worm, and
placed in a bucket or other vessel, and
burned.
Near cities and large towns onions
are most profitable when sold green, be-
ginning to put them up in punches when
they are only half grown. Three to
twelve onions with the tops left on make
bunch, according to their size and the
custom of themarket ---A2neTicGn Agr6-

The Monkey and the Sugar.

A recent English writer gives the fol-
lowing illustration of the sagacity Of
animals:
| remember once in India giving a
tame monkey lump of sugar inside a
corded bottle. The monkey was of an
inquiring mind, and it nearly killed it.
Sometimes, IN an impulse of disgust, it
would throw the bottle away out of its
own reach, and then be distracted until
it was given back to it At Others it
would sit with countenance of the
most intense de ection, contemplating
the bottled sugar; and then, as If pull
ing itself together for another effort
at the solution, would sternly take up
the problem afresh, and gaze into it.
1t would tiltit up one way and try to-
drink the sugar on. of the neck. and
then suddenly reversing it try to catch
it as it fell out at the bottom.
Under the impression that it could
capture it Oy surprise, it kept raspin9
its teeth against the glass in futile bites,
and warming to the pursuit OF the re-
volving lump, used TO tie itself into reg
.ular knots around the bottle. Fits Of
the most ludicrous melan eholy would
alternate with spasms of delight, as
new idea seemed to suggest itself, fol-
lowed by fresh series OF experiments
Nothing availed. however, rntil one
day q light was shed upon the problem

IN all directions. His monkeyship con-

floor with a tremendous noise, smashing
the glass into fragments, after which he
calmly transferred the sugar to his
mouth, and munched it with much sat
