results, but it is well to be very careful
in their use.
AS soon as the tops die down the crop
can be gathered, storing it in a dry, cool,
well ventilated room, spreading them out
thinly at first, afterwards they can be
placed more thickly, say four or five inches
in depth. On the approach of cold weather
close all windows and doors, and keep the
temperature just above the freezing point,
but if they happen to freeze it will not
injure them unless they are permitted to
thaW and freeze again. When onions are
raised in quantity very popular method
of keeping them is to spread straw on a
barn floor to a depth of eighteen inches,
on this spread the onions and cover with
two feet or more of straw; in this way
they will keep until May.
OF the many varieties the following are
the best for field cultivation and market
purposes:
Large Red Wethersfeld, of large size,
very productive; the best keeper, one of
the most popular for general cultivation.
Early Red, two weeks earlier than the
above; of medium size, very productive.
Early Globe Danyers. of medium size,
with yellowish brown skin and white
flesh and having very mild flavor.
Large Yellow, or Yellow Dutch, is a
very popular market variety, having a
white flesh and mild flavor.
White Globe produces handsome globe
shaped bulbs of a very mild flavor.
White Portugal, large, fiat, mild-fla-
vored onion, not one of the best keepers.
For pickles. or set onions, SOW and treat
as above advised, but do not thin them.
Sow thickly at the rate of forty pounds
per acrej these little onions, if planted in
the spring, will form large onions sooner
than seed.
The potato onion produces a quantity of
young bulbs around the parent root. They
should be planted early in spring, in rows
eighteen inches apart, six inches apart in
the rows and one inch IN depth; the large
bulbs produce small ones, the small ones,
large, alternately Vick's Monthly.

Some farmers make it practice to keep
their poultry in their orchards from early
spring until cold weather sets in and they
find it pays. a picket fence should be
built around the orchard, high enough to
prevent their flying over, with suitable
| buildings in one corner of the yard to
shelter them at night. Thus situated the
poultry Will thrive and prosper, keeping
themselves in good condition, and the in
crease of eggs will be greatly augmented
and their usefulness enhanced, to their
owners at least, on account of the myriads
of insects and worms they destroy, and
which will more than repay the cost and
labor of building the fence. BY keeping
them inclosed in this manner a large num-
Der of fowls may be retained in the or
chard, and the continual scratching which
is done by them proves advantageous both
to the soil and the trees themselves.
Some excellent experiments We're made
at the HoughtOn Farm, New York, in or
der to determine the temperature of the
soil at various depths. Thermometers
were placed at the surface and at depths
of three inches, six inches, nine inches,
one foot. three feet, five feet and eight feet.
They were noticed hourly from May to
November. There is agreat daily range
caused by absorption of heat by day and
radiation at night. The maximum tenn
perature at the surface is about midday
and the minimum shortly after midnight.
These extremes are later at successive
depths until at one foot they are retarded
eight to ten hours, presenting the curious
feature of the One-foot thermometer rising
while the surface one is falling, and vice
versa. There is a constant rise in the
temperature of the soil, beginning in the
spring, easily observed to a depth of eight
feet. During the autumn there is a zone
of subsoil below one foot, which is warmer
than the soil above it, and this prOlOngs
the season.

Cultivation of Onions.

In order to obtain a successful as well
as profitable crop of onions certain requi-
sitiOns must be complied with. They are
these: LIST, new, choice seed Of the very
best quality should be obtained; I'd, a
suitable soil should be selected and the
most suitable manure obtained; Sd, the
ground should be thoroughly prepared
and the seed properly sown, and last, but
not least, the crop should be well cult
waited and cared for.
know Of no vegetable in which the
quality of the seed has a greater influence
than the onion, therefore the greatest care
should be taken to procure the very best,
regardless of cost. Do not procure cheap
onion see,4 In any case, for most, if not all
of it, is worthless and will certainly prove
to be very dear to the purchaser in the
end.
The most suitable soil, and one that
should be selected, If possible, is very
rich sandy loan, one that has been heavily
MANFRED and well cultivated for hOed
crops for two or three years previously is
the best, and l would impress this fact
upon all, that it is entirely useless to at
tempt to raise onions on poor or insult
able soil. Care should also be exercised
in the proper selection of the manure
used for the crop. Nothing is better than

the better. Commercial or concentrated

On the west coast of England grows a

ally that atmospheric electricity is not
produced by the evaporation of water or by
the condensation Of vapOr. A German
investigator, L. Zehuder, now expresses
the opinion that it is caused byskhe fric-
ton of air currents on the surface of the
earth. At the equator the positively
charged air rises and becomes distributed
throughout the upper regions of the at
mosphere- The tension of the electricity,
according to this theory, is at first slight,
but it is increased by the inflow of slightly
charged air until it becomes so great that
the positive electricity is discharged by
combining with the negative electricity
of the earth, thus giving rise to thunder
storms, aurora, etc.

Pea and Green lsaIIows.

Mr.. f. Guy writes in the Southern
Planter, on this subject, as follows:
''My mode is first to SOW rye or oats in
the fall; let it grow and as soon as headed
in May, [ fallow in; then SOW peas ON the
rough land, then drag in: but L always
use lime on the land when / fallow in the
peas, unless it has plenty in the soil al
ready, at the rate of thirty bushels per
acre. By this mode l have made poor
land produce twenty bushels Of wheat per
acre and good stand of clover. A better
plan would be to apply 200 pounds South
Carolina fine bone and 200 pounds of kali
nit just before seeding the peas, then a
light dressing of plaster when the peas
get six inches high; and use lime with
the pea fallOw in Tidewater, Virginia; the
mountain counties having limestone in
the land, would not need the lime, ina
CINE. The peas should be sown early in
May-one and half to two bushels per
acre, and let them grow until about half
the pods are ripe; hire women and boys
to pick for five cents per fiour-barrel full
of pods, and you will save all you need
for seed, blowing the balance in. There
is no doubt in my mind that green fallows
are great help, even oats, corn or peas !;
and have heard a very reliable farmer,
in fact two, assert that they had tried
corn alongside of peas, and were surprised
to find better results from the corn"
