An Enthusiast on Onions.

A writer saws ! know this An onion is
lent there is, and yet it is one Of the most
delicious 10 some persons that the earth
produces. There il one thing il lacks and
that is popularity. know men who, if
they experience the Whit OF an onion. be-
come so sick that they are in the deepest
imaginable misery for hours thereafter. On
the other hand there aie those who are so
passionately fond of onions that they would
rather eat a mess Of onions than TO sit down
TO the finest banquet in the land. Gen. 5.
+. Hunt is one Of them. Gen. Hunt is an
enthusiast on the subject Of onions. He
told me once that every time he visit, the
residence of friend OF his vino makes
specially OF raising a particularly fine
species OF onions, BE eats 50 many that
he is ashamed Of himself. Manv times he

Action of Salt and Vinegar.

A French physician has been making
some interesting experiments on the effects
of condiments used with food. They show,
among other things. that in cooking meat
only An ounce of salt should be used with
from six to twelve pounds Of meat. If more
is employed it will DO one of two things-it
will modify the structure Of a portion Of the
muscular fbers so as to render it more re-
sistent to the action Of the gastric juice, or
it will itself check and retard the peptic fer
mentation, the very groundwork of diges-
ton. 1t follows that salted and smoked
meats are more indigestible than fresh.
Vinegar, it appears, may be used with good
effect, provided it is not in quantity to ir-
ritate the stomach and is pure dilution Of
acetic acid, freed from sulphuric or hydro
chloric acids, the latter of which, though an
active principle of the gastric juice, must
not be in excess in the stomach, or it will
retard digestion. The hungry man will.
therefore, be careful how he uses salt and
vinegar.

Fattening Old Cattle.

We have time and again written against
tine folly of dairymen trying to fatten their
old cows at profit. 1t cannot be done,
and if any farmer wishes to try it let him
have them at any price. If man has more
grass or other feed than he knows what to
do with. let him buy some likely young
steers and make money with them instead
of wasting his time and feed on the remains
of an old COW. The Prorisioner, Of England
on this subject says "Old animals can sell
dom be fattened at a profit, even if their
flesh was as valuable as that of younger
ones, because it requires SO much more time
and feed to do it." What we particularly
object TO in old cows for fattening is the i'm
men.e proportion of offal in them. A pot
belly makes no beef.-American Dairyman.

An exchange claims that full feed Of
hay to horses. following the feeding Of con-
centrated food, is wasteful, for the reason
that it crowds the first out of the stomach
before proper digestion has been accom-
plished. And SO, in order to secure best re-
suite, bay should be fed at first and the con-
eentrated food afterward. which leaves it to
secome digested with no danger Of being
crowded away OK out Of the performance of
its desired purpose.

buildings. There was q partial insur.
anoe on the buildings, but not enough
to cover the loss. The Hekla insur.
anoe company Of Madison, Wis was
the first n on the ground to adjust
and pay up, which 1T didin full. During
the fire there was quite an enthusiasm
manifested In the matter of providing
some protection agsinst fire In u
town, but as soon as the dying embers
ceased to emit smoke the enthusiasm
which had been manifested ceased to
be heard, and It too became q thing of
the past, We have q town council
which was elected upon the question
of license or no license, and that Ia all
they think they have to do. They
will do nothing for fire protection, but
when any one suggests that they
would like to have q license to sell
beer In town, each aud every mem
Der of the council will be found In his
proper place, and opposing anything
of that kind. Now we think that
there are other questions of more I'm.
poitanoe than that.
For the past few weeks q mad dog
scare has been uppermostin the minds
of the citizsns Of this part tf the
country, and the board of health
passed an order to the effect that all
dogs running at large In the town OF
Corning without being muzzled should
pay the penalty of their indiscretion
by being shot, and the marshal, loaded
with a double barrelled shotgun was
parading the streets for several daysin
search of the said muzzelless dogs and
found about thirty five of them to
which he proceeded to give a dose of
shot, and they slept with their fathers.

try are mostly through with their
