1t is idle to think of growing good
crop of onions unless previous prepara-
ton has been made by thorough cult
walton the preceding year. The crop

T., writes to the Planter and Stock
man that he planted the Russian sun
flower seed in his garden. His crop
was one hundred and twenty-five BUSH
els Of seed with two tons of fodder.
He does not state how much land was
devoted to the crop, but says he can
grow five times as much chicken and
cow feed with sunfowers as with any
thing else. The seed is also good, in
moderate quantities, for horses and
hogs.
Chicken Pie: Take boiled chicken,
either freshly cooked or cold, and lay
it in pieces in deep baking dish,
which has been previously lined at the
sides with nice pie crust. Dredge -four

then another layer of chicken, and pro-
coed as before till the dish is filled.
Pour in some of the gravy or broth the
chicken was boiled in, put bits of but
ter on top, and cover with a rich paste,
which may be ornamented with fancl-
ful devices in leaves or scrolls, accord
ing to taste. Be sure an opening is
left in the top for the steam to escape
from while baking. The Caterer.
