A PERENNIAL ONION BED.

While visiting the market garden of Mr.
Henry Pickering, recently described in these
columns, we found an onion bed of some
dozen or more square rods, which to us ap-
peared somewhat of novelty. The bed had
a southern exposure, and was partially pro-
tected from severe northerly winds by
slightly higher ground in the. rear. The
onions were of the ''tOp" onion family, but
had been obtained from an acquaintance,
without any distinguishing name. The tops,
or leaves, were bright and green, and as
large as ordinary onions grown for seed u.s.
ually are in midsummer. Under ground,
were from three to a half dozen or more
bulbe, which were offsets from the original

FOOD AND DRINK FOR POULTRY.

Do not feed on clear corn or meal. 1t has
tendency to fatten the poultry too much,
and consequently they are more subjected
to disease. The best way is to vary their
food as much as possible. Scraps of meat,
fish, potatoes and anything els from the ta-
BILE are excellent for fowls. In the summer
feeding once day may be sufficient, but
they require it oftener in cold weather.
They Hhonld then be fed just before going
to roost, and no more than they will eat up
clean. Regularity is what is required to
make them profitable, and without it it does
not pay to keep poultry.
Doubtless, sour milk is the best drink that
can be given them, and in the winter when
the ground is covered with snow, and they
have no access to the earth, it supplies, in a
great measure, what benefit they derive

top onion that had been set nearly two years
previous.
The mode of cultivation is as follows -
Set out in August the little bulbs which
form on the seed stalk OF the parent plant
during the earlier part of the summer. Cul-
tvate them to keep down weeds, but other
wise let them alone, giving no protection
during the winter, The following spring
they will be found to have ''tillered'' out,
increasing by offsets from one 10 three or
more to each bulb set. Cultivate again in
the spring. to keep down weeds. Daring
the summer seed stalks will be thrown up.
upon which he new top onions will be
formed. Gather these and set a. Ia the pre-
vious August, letting the otd plants remain
where they are. The following spring these
old plants will be fit to begin to pull by the
first of May, and will continue fit Tor mar
ket about month.-Neso Eng land Farmer.

CANKER : MOUTH.

AT this season of the year when chicks,
whether large or small, are subject to so
many ills, and owners are puzzled and look
for remedies, it would be well to vary the
treatment, and thus perhaps tall upon some
thing OF lasting. practical service. One of
the most annoying of poultry-ills, in our
opinion, is canker-mouth-at least it was
until an old German gardener and poultry
man told us that stale light bread soaked in
strong vinegar and ted to the birds afflicted
was sure cure. 1t has proved very effec-
tual, and is simple in application, as it is
merely question of feeding, not doctoring.

RENEWING Strawberry BEDS.

Many amateur gardeners have as great an
aversion to turning under an old strawberry
bed as to the cutting down of bearing
fruit tree. and yet it requires often more
time and labor to clean and keep in order
an old bed than to plant new one. AS a
general rule, nothing is gained by keeping a
strawberry bed more than two years, and to
secure best results some young plants should
be set out every year. Yet there is way
of renewing strawberry beds, which, with
out grating harshly against ones conserva-
tive feelings, produces new plantation
every year.
A row of strawberry plants set out year
or two ago will no v, as frequently managed
that is. left 10 themselves--presen solid
mass Of plants and weeds, six feet or more
in width. To weed out and civilize such
wilderness is a task not rashly to be under
tained on the same spot, then stretch line
foot or two from the original row or where
there is the best stand of young plants, and
parallel with it, toward the outside. stretch
another. Now down on both sides all that
stand outside Of this narrow strip, spread
good coat of manure, plow or spade it un-
der, and pulverize and mellow the soil as
much as possible. Pull all weeds from the
strip lett and rake the new ground when-
ever weeds make their appearance. Run
ners will soon push forth and young. thrifty
plants will take possession of the ground
previously occupied by old and worthless
ones. If more than one row of plants is de-
sired, such border may be left on each side
of the old one, allowing about four feet of
