An ENTHUSIAST ON ONIoNS.--I know
this An onion is the most vilifcd and
worst traduccd cscucnt there is, and yet it
is one oftho most delicious to some persons
that the earth produces. There is one thing
that it lacks and that is popularity. know
men who, if they experience the Whit of an
onion become so sick that they arc in the
deepest imaginable misery for hours there
after. On the other hand there are those
who are so passionatey fond Of onions that
they would rather cat a mess of onions than
to sit down to the finest banquet in the
land General S. Il. Hunt is one Of them.
General Hunt is an enthusiast on the sub
ject Of onions He told me once that every
time he visits the residence of friend Of
his who makes specially Of raising par
ticularly fine species of onions, he eats so
many that be IS ashamed Of himself. MANY
times he slips of o restaurant and enjoys
a feast Of lis favor:c in several Courses
He says that those arc the happiest mo-
mcn.s Of his life. TO the travelling man the
onion is the best friend in the world
You cant think of any shape that an,
onion is not good. Boiled, s;cwcd, fried
baked, fricassccd, escolopcd, roasted, pick
led or raw, they arc paatable and delicious
Cooked with potatoes, becfstcak. turkey or
duck, they are exceedingly savOry Just
let fellow banging around the country,
discuStcd with the fare he receives at out
of-,hc way hotels or boarding houses, cat a
raw onion and see how it will brace him up.
If you have taken too much tea Of an even
ing, and feel the worse for your bout the
next morning, manage to get on the outside
Of an onion or two, and sec how it will help
you. Onions are excellent cures for heavy
colds, as everybody knows. Then when
| fellow becomes wakeiul, just let him fill up
on nice sliced onions. Gracious to goodness.

SCIENTIFIC FARMING PRAcTIcAL-Mr.

ing of farmers, held at Tadlcy IN England,
to consider n sckeme for teaching the sci.

opinion more deeply engraved in the mind
of the English farmer, than the belief that
there was some antagonism between science
and practice. Some even went so far rs
to say that the two arc Incompatible. The
farmer who drains his land, or tries a new
manure, or new plan, or Il new crop,
calls himself practical u,an; he dcspiscs

experiment, because that would be an ac-

is built up of principles, and these principles
carried into work we call practice. There
is the science Of astronomy and tho art of
navigation; the science Of geometry and the
art of measuring; the science of mechanics
and the art of making ma h:nery; the sci

Almost every scicrcc is tho basis of cog>

way of arriving at real knowledge of the
art Of agriculture would be to know some
thing Of those principles on which the art is
based; art being nothing more than the ap-
plication of principles previously acquired.
farmer who is able to unite perfect
mastery Of principles with knowledge of
practical details, is an cducltcd and scion

that the shortest snd easiest method of learn

WHAT GOES WITH \ FARM.-Whcn q
farm is bought or sold, questions often arise
as to what goes with it, and disputes may
their farm deeds include. In brief, says
VII IIaiyh, of the Dytroit bar, in the Amer.
lean AgriculturiSt, where no reservations
arc made in the deed, the conveyance in
cludeS the land, the buildings upon it, and
al such chattcls or articles rs have become
so attached or fixed to the soil or to the
buildings as to become what is known in
law as fixtures" What constitutes q fix
nrc depends largely on the intention ofthc
owner in putting it there, and also upon the
manner in which it is affixed. Anything
SO affixed TO the soil or the buildings, that
it cannot be removed without injury, nearly
always goes with the farm; and anything o. n
permanent nature, fitted for permanent use,
and annexed thereto by the owner with that
intention, generally goes with the land +,
though it might be severed without any
Injury, as the following examples will illus
tratc: All fences on the farm 60 with it,
but no fencing materials, as rails, etc, if
bought elsewhere and piled upon the farm,
and not yet bull into fence; they have new:
cr yet been annexed" But rails cut from
timber standing on the farm, and piled up
for future use, go with it; their original
annexation is not severed by being changed
from standing trees to rails. II, however,
they were cut with the intention Of using
them elsewhere than on the farm, they
would then ac personal property, and would
not pass The bare intention in the mind
Of the owner in this instance makes the
difference bctwecM real estate and personal
property. Hop poles, if they have been
once used upon the farm, are regarded as
a part Of it, though at the time of sale they
arc stored away for future use Loose scat
fold poles, however, laid across the beams
of a barn, have been held not to be a part
Of the realty. Standing trees, Of course
arc part Of the inrn; 81 are trees cut or
blown down, left where they fall, but rot
if corded up fnr sale the wood has :hcn
become personal property.

Duet FouGur ALMOST \ CENTURY Acc, st.
Augustine, Fla, December 3l.-On Thursday
while engaged in tearing down a por;ico of the
residence Of Mr.. Faustna Pacct:, preparatory
to making repairs on the same, l.. L. Cnnova
found 4 sword hidden away between the raftcrs
Of the roof Upon making inquiries in relation
to the same he learned that the sword had
been concealed in the place where he found it
for perhaps seventy five eighty years. The
story attached to II Is lnIcresiIug
1t would appear that one evening, while Flori
ida was yet in possession Of Spain, grand ball
given, at which gathered the elite of
the city. One Of the ladies present noted
for her beauty, and her hand was eagerly sought
after by the officers Of the garrison for the many
pleasant dances Owing to some msunlerstanI-
ing she became engaged to two of the caballcros
for the same dance. The consequences was n
quarrel, which resulted in the cessation of the
music through the cutting of the strings Of the
instrument. Hot words and insulting language
passed between the officers and the two repaired
to the open streets and engaged in duel, in
which one of them fell. The survivor, dropping
his sword fled precipitaey from the spot.
One of the Pacctti flmily, boy of somc or
. years. witnessed the encounter, and, running
out picked up the sword and carried it into
the house. Not wishing to be called UPON as
witnesses, the parents ofthc child concealed the
sword and kept all knowledge oft from their
ncighbors. Thus the old blade has been in its
place upward of three generations.
