FARM NOTES, flow 10 Kier ONIONS AND ONION SETs.~—1f the onions are thoroughly ripe theré is no aifficulty in keeping them ¢€ill dpring. But if they are immature, with thick green necks, the only way to keep them is the old-fash- jened method of *‘tracing.’”’ Take two or three onions and tie them together with a string round the necks, Then place another onion on the trace and wind the string round the neck, and then another aud another, till you have a string or trace of onions a yard long. Hang this up In a cool, dry room. If the onions are perfectly ripe and dry they can be spread out tour or five inches thick on shelves or on the oor of an airy room. If somewhat green, but free from *'scullions,’’ spread them out thinner and turn occasionally till you get them dry and firm. 1f you do not want to sell or use the onions till spring a convenient way to keep them is to put them in a dry place and let them freeze. All that is neces- sary is to Keep them dry and prevent their thawing. They will come out of | their winter quarters fresh and firm, | and will keep just as well as those that | have not been frozen. When wanted for sale during the winter a good plan is to Keep the onions in slatted bushel boxes. Keep them in a cool, dry room, not in a damp cellar, The boxes can be piled on top of each other and in rows with an inch or so of space be- tween them for ventilation, § Tue true American has , & warm place in his a heart for the old Lcg a? Canix. (t's not “Eng- lisu you know,” but from the Log Cabins of America have sprung men of every respect greater than any from the grand castles of Europe. Warner's Log Cabin Sar- taparilla is the best in the world. Sn PROFESSIONAL Lorist in conver sation with a reporter of the News re- cently stated that ‘*the best winter pro- tection thet can be given to vines, rose bu-hes and sl rubbery is a bank of man- | ure six or eight inches deep around the roots. ‘This, he said, keeps the roots warm and preserves a little cir culation of thesap. The plan of cover- | ing the entire plant with straw as is sometimes done, 1s a bad one, it often smothers all the life out of the | plant. Sometimes, also, the rains, soaking through the straw covering, freeze and the ice-covered shrab or rosebush is more likely to dle than If it were entirely exposed. If the cover ing is complete and the plants Kept unusually warm, it will be forced into early growth in the spring an nd late frosts will injure it.

The use of disinfectants is not always to be commended, because they have often a vile smell of thelr own. There is one, however, that we are quite sure might te used with very great benefit, both for its manurial and deodorising qualities, aod this is peat | mess, This soaks up all the liquid | matter, and thus retains it {or manure, wile if used litter IL prevents sells arising. the “us PAusNirs and carrots are not in- jured if stored outside in mounds, and in sections where the winters are not severe they may be left in the rows, | with only a slight covering. The pro-| per way to store them, however, is in a! cellar, in bins, 20 as to easily handle them when they are wanted for feeds ing. Grain creps should be raised in an orchard, or serious and perman- ent injury to the trees will be the cer- | tain result, After the orchard has come nto bearing there 1s only one crop that can be grown on the land | without detriment to the fruit and | trees, and that is some Kind of grass (clover, orchard grass, eic.) si LETY In Iceland the custom is to milk the | ewes for six weeks after the lambs are | weaned, and it is recorded that 100 well-kept sheep easily realize from twelve to fifteen pounds of butter daily. At Roquefort each ewe is esti- | mated to produce twenty-four pounds of cheese in the year, besides suckling | her lamb for two months, In storing apples a free circulation | of air through the barrel will be of ad- | vantage. The fruit should be kept in | a cool place, but should be beyond the reach of frost. Only sound apples | should be used, as the slightest touch of decay on a single apple will some- times cause the whole to rot, Living on the Reputation of Others, “Take everythiog that I have but my good name; leave me that and I am con- tent.” So said the philosopher, Bo say all manufacturers of genuine articles to that horde of imitators which thrives npon the reputation of oshers. The good name of ALLCOCK's POROUS PLASTERS has io- duced many adventurers to put in the market imitations that are not only lack- ing In the best elements of the genuine ar- ticle, but are often harmful in their effects, The public should be on their guard against these frauds, and, when an exter nal remedy is needed, be sure to insist upon having ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTER. ——— PI 5 tS OLp LapY (on routhern railroad) The fire's gone out in that stove, young feller.
