Simply nothing, and it is fair to presume
and expect that the climate will change
t. a certain extent.

greatly to be desired that we should adopt
French taste in the matter and use more
onions In favor aud in cookery. As q
nervine, there is no better vegetable than
the onion and celery. The onion is also
credited with being one Of the bsst blood
purifiers in the vegetable kingdom. In
order to possess these good qualities it is
not necessary that the onion should be
rank and cnarse. Mild va,ieties possess
all the medicinal values. There seems TO
be no reason why our vegetable gardeners
should insist on cultivating rank red and
yellow onions, when the white silver
skinned varieti are so much more delic-
ious. There are many Ways OF Cooking
this vegetable which do away with the
rank flavor. though very little can be done
with the coarse and rank variety, and as
matter Of fact, these do not belong on re-
tined tables, except when used in minute
quantity as seasoning, like garlic and
shal'Ots. The onion should be a white
one If native.

The Use OF Paris Green on Tobacco.
In some localities there is quite lively
discussion going in regard 10 the use Of
this effective insecticide. Some say they
will not use it while others intend to use
It whenever it becomes necessary with
their next tobacco crop.
For years We have used it on the Irish
potato vines, cabbage, currants and COOS
berries, and this year used it with our to :
bacco and thus far cannot call to mind any
evil results attending its use. One thing
we do know full we'll that it was Paris
green or no potatoes. 1t will paralize q
Colorado potato bug in little less than
no time.
Again we have sprayed apple, plum and
peach trees with it and attained good re-
suits. Without its use we believe the
fruit we ate would have been wormy and
knotty. Wherever it is used there is
general improvement in the quality of the
fruit going upon the market.
We claim that spraying tobacco or fruit
trees should be done as a preventive. In
other words, destroy the miller or cod
ding moth before he gets chance to lay
an egg. Therefore we advocate the care
full use of Paris green on the next tobacco
crop. One spoonful is plenty for large
sized bucket of water. Apply it just be-
fore dark and keep it as long as the mil.
Ter is at work. By so doing there will be
less holes in the leaves of the 1892 CROP
