MEANING OF WORDS.

The word "watch'' was originally
used as a term of endearment similar
to ssdarling." The word ''wench"
formerly was not used in the low and
vulgar acceptation that it now is.
"DamseP was the appellation of
young ladies of distinction. "Knave"
once signifed servant. CIVILIAN"
was a bondman. ''Pedant" school
master. Many words have deterio-
rated, and gained sinister meaning
at first foreign to them.
The word cunning" for exam
pie, formerly meant nothing sinister
OF underhand. ssDemure" is anoth-
er of this class. 1t was used by ear
lier writer's without the insinuation,
which is now almost latent in it, that
the external shows of modesty and
sobriety rest on no corresponding re-
alities. ''Facetious" originally meant
urbane, but has now so degenerated
as to have acquired the sense of buff
foonery. ''Indolence" originally sig
nifed freedom from passion or pain.
but now implies a condition of Ian
| guild non-eXertion. ''Insolent'' was
only unusual. Gossip was spon-
ser at baptisms. A poet is person
who writes poetry; and according tt
the good old custom, a proser was
person who wrote prose, and simply
the antithesis of poet. The wore
has now q sadly different signifca
| ton.

Cuttings of gooseberries and white
and red currants can be made, and
planted now at any time. Single
stemmed bushes should always be
preferred; therefore, select the young
growths of last year, which should
be at least 8 inches long, II inches
or 10 inches not being too much.
Pick out all the eyes OF buds except
two or three at the top, and plant
firmly in rows Is inches apart and 6
inches apart in the row. They will
root in a few weeks, and as the
growth proceeds pick out any buds
that may appear near the surface of
the soil or through it, the object be-
ing to form a tree that shall have a
single stem and be free from suckers.
Transplant any cutting that were put
in last season, giving them about
double the space which they have
had as cuttings, and next year they
will be sufficiently large to form per-
manent plantations. Established
plantations of gooseberries and cur
rants should be lightly pointed
over, land liberal mulching of stable
manure afterwards given them

Onions differ from most other crops
in not requiring rotation. In some
places the land has been in onions
annually for half 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
and potatoes. A good, deep, rich
loan is essential, as is heavy manur-
ing. Fifty loads of stable manure
to the acre are an ordinary manuring,
and may be supplemented by ashes,
bone flour, or guano, as top-dress-
ing. The seeds should be sown very
early; should be of the previous
years growth, and from a reliable
raiser. The rows are a foot apart,
leaving every seventh for path, and
from three to six pounds of seed are
sown to the acre. On land not be-
fore 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 uI
in few days and mark the rows sc
that hand-cultivator or push hot
can be run close to the rows even be
fore the onions are up.

Poor SEED CoRN.-Iowa farmers,
who have been testing their seed
corn, report that only a small per
cent will terminate. In some in
stances, where tests have been made,
not more than three or four per
cent has been found to be good. The
cause of its failure to terminate is
not stated, but we suppose it to be
exposure to extreme cold, in ricks or
corn barns. 1t is best to keep seed
corn through the winter in warm,
dry place. Dampness and cold have
tendency to destroy the vitality of
seeds; yet we have never had any
trouble here with the termination of
we'll dried seed corn, even when kept
through the winter in so cold place
as corn barn, but if the thermome-
ter had habit of falling 80 or &C
degrees below zero, as in the north.
western states, the life of the seeC
might be destroyed. In northern
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and parts
of Wisconsin a temperature of 40 de
grees below zero is not an uncommon
occurrence.

CARD THE COWS.

At this season of the year, when
the COWS are shedding their coats,
there is more or less irritation of the
skin, to allay which the animals will
rub themselves wherever they can.
In doing this they will rub off all the
hair in places, and their coats will
look rough and uneven. 1t is deed
of kindness to these animals, confin-
ed, as they are much of the time, in
the stable, to card them quite often.
When this is properly done it will be
enjoyed and appreciated, so far as
the dumb animals can express their
satisfaction. We have just come in
from cardlng nearly score of COWS
and heifers, and so speak from expe-
rience. The moment we begin the
animals will look around, edge up to
US and rub their necks on the stanch-
ions, in their eagerness for the ex-
pected grooming. They seem to en-
joy the operation wonderfully, most
of them, about as well as they do
their feed of grain. We believe a
daily carding will do the COWS as
much good as pint of grain. But
this work should be done carefully
and with proper kind of card, one
not very coarse or harsh. A stiff
brush would answer a good purpose.
Some of the animals may be sensi-
tive, and on these carding should be
light. The time spent in this work
we believe will be well employed, the
animals will look much better, and it
will have very quieting and tanning
influence on the heifers. The steers
and oxen should come in for share
of attention with the horses, as 1t will
benefit them as we'll, and an hour
daily in this work, properly perform
ed, will undoubtedly pay any farmer.
Try it, brother farmers, and give us
your opinion.
