Although I have said no thing, that is no proof of tbeir belief. I luiyo. noticed in the Agricultural columu3 ef tM Tim"es 'that none of the farmers Bavo been writing for that department, and I think its beginning to bo time to commence.::1 February has come in, and all who intend to plant a crop and tend it, should commenco now. Farming, Mr. Editor, is not what it is cracked up to be by some people. If wo plant a crop, we must certainly work it, and if we tond it ?- good, wo will surely reap the fruits of our labor. By tho/'Sweat of tho brow" wo must gain our livelihood, but unless we take advantage of evevy short turn ami think moro than we do it will be found a hard task to gain a living, that way. Your's &c. Inquisitive. , Balky Horses. Balking is a serious defect in a very useful animal, nnd it connot bo overcome by whipping or swearing at him. His brain docs not seem capable of entertain ing but one thought at a timo, and the stubborn resolve not to move seems to be uppermost in it. Therefore you must endeavor to givo him anewsulject of | thought, and thereby change the direc tion of his brain. The simple trick of putting a; small quantity of earth or gravel, taken from tho road-side, upou his tongue, will suffice to turn his attention to the new kind of fodder offered to him. Now cluck to him hut don' strike him, and almost before he is aware of it he ia walking along and and soon trots as fast as i? needful. This is a remedy much in use on the western plains, where teaming is employed to per form.a vast amount of labor, and Imlky horses are quito a common trouble. I have bccu it work to perfection on the plains of Colorado, when whipping and profa'nity were utterly ineffectual; a very small quantity of earth and line gravel mado its ?mark directly. Kindness will always produce a great effect upon horses, and every driver should learn that plens aut words, and tones arc. of much greater use in making his hones obedient than thewliiplash, mingled with harsh oaths and car-splitting tones. s. o. j. In Onion, is Strength. I am quite ashamed to take people into my garden and have them notice the ad sence of onions. It is very marked. In onion is strength; nnd a garden without itsdacks flavor. The onion in its satin wrappings is among tho most beautiful of vegetables, and it is the only ono that retirements the essence of things It cnu aluipgl, ,be said to have a soul. You take off coat after coat, and the onion is still there: and when tho last ono is removed, who darn (-.".y that the onion itself is des troy^, though you can weep over its de parted spirit? I knew that there is sup pos?X t? bcioi prejudice against the onion hut I think there is rather a cowardice hi rpTOt. v I doubt not that all men and women* love tho.onioii; but few confess tbeir iovdl. Affection for it is concealed. Good New Engl?nders are as shy owning it as th^'lrfc bf talking about religion. Some people havo days on which they cat on ion?what you might call "retreats," or their "Thursdays." Tho act is in tho nature of a religious ceremony, an Elcu Bininn:mystery; not a breath of it must get abroad. On that day they seo no coinpnny; they deny the kiss of greeting to the dearest friond; they retire within themselves-and hold communion with one of the most pungent and penetrating manifestations of tho moral vegetable world. Happy is said to bo tho family which can 'call onions together. They arc for the time being separate from tho world and have, a harmony of aspiration Let them become apostles of the onion; let them preach it to tbeir fellows, and circulate tracts of it iu the form of seeds. In the onion is tho bopo of universal brotherhood. If all men will cat onions at all tiriKR they will comenito a univer sal sympathy. Look at Italy. I hopo I am not mistaken as to tho cause of her unity. It was the Reds who preached the jjospel which ?rode .it possrblo. All tho reds of Europe, all the sworn devo tees of the mystic Mary Ann eat of the common vcgitnble. Thoir oaths arc strong with it. It is the food also of the common people of Italy. All tho social atmosphere of that delicious laud is laden with it. Its odor is a practical democracy. In the churches all are alike;- there is ono faith., one - smell. Tho entrance of of Victor Emamiel into Rome is only tho pompous proclamation of a unity which garlic had already accomplished; and yet we, who boast of ourademocracy,*ect on ions in secret.?Charles Dudley Warner.
