In book entitled franks
Rancho; or, My Holiday in the
Rockies" the authorship of which
is anonymous, although supposed
to be Nr. Edward Marsden, the
London publisher, is the following
sound piece Of advice to parents
thinking of starting out their sons
to make their own way in a strange
land:
Il acted very unwisely in sup
plying an inexperienced youth, how
ever energetic and rightprincipled,
with capital to start farming in u
new country, without any practical
knowledge whatever. Hundreds Of
youths go out to America and the
Colonies every year under circum-
stances very like those of my son
ludulsent parents supply them with
money at once to start them in life
imam occupation to which they bring
nothing but conceit and ignorance
combined and their money is as
certain to be lost as If it were
thrown into the sea. My advice to
parents situated similarly tc myself
Is never to give an unlimited supply
Of money to start with Allow your
son just so much as will keep him
from starvation, and let him work
out his Injuries for himself. Let him
rough it for three or four years at
least; by that time he will have dis
covered how far his boyish dreams
have been realized by experience,
and lie will have shown the stuff he
is made of. He will either have sue
cumbed and gone home, or broken
own in some disastrous way, or he

NOTES AND COMMENTS

Through the kindness Of Mr.. G,
OaderdonI we recon- mence in this
sue the weekly meteorological Oh
scryatnns for Rugby Mr. Onder-
donk has lately purchased better
instruments than those formerly III
use, and the observations are there
fore more accurate and more to be
relied on. It will be noticed that
the readings are now tahen three
times day instead of twice as for
merly. We may state, also, that the
daily average is taken from four
readings and is nearly accurate.

Those of our friends who intend
to grow some onions this season
and who have not already put the
seed in, would find it the best to
choose for the onion bed clean
piece of land that was kept free
from weeds last year. They should
use plentifully the oldest and strong
est stable manure that can lie got
dig or FORK it in we'll, completely
ulverize the ground and rake
smooth The earlier the ground is
prepared in the spring the better
and the planting should not be de-
layed later than the end of March
or middle of April, according to
ones location Make the drill about
half~an-inch deep and fully eighteen
inches apart: SOW the seed sparlnsly
as it is u very frequent thing to
find the seed too thick and tbs bulbs
over crowded. Cover the seel with
hight earth and tread II Little with
the foot Ga small hand + Her is tae
best). AS soon as the young plants
are up, watch for the wee DIS and do
not let them get the start. The onion
bad should be hued at least three
times in the early part Of the grow
ing season If a damp season and
the weeds yegetate too luxurlantly,
they must be removed by hand, as
the hoe viii injure the plants after
they begin to bulb; so, if one wants
good onions, ono must not mind
the back ache. 1t is singular fact
that onions will not ripen later thaI
August CT the early part of Septem-
Der, let the weather be ever So
warm.
Radishes are about the most
general favorte vegetable IN the
sptin.. Ii you would ike them nice
aud crisp, use the following method.
Tie patch of ground chosen, cover
it thickly with fresh wood ashes
three inches or more deep; dig and
incorporate well with the soil; SOW
in shallow drills aud keep moist.
They must grow quickly to have
them tender, and if they grow
slowly, and the weather is cold
they will be tough and strln5y. Ma
nure is not required for them. Ii
they are shielded from the n.rth
it will b. found of great use in the
early part of the season.
