Spinach is a short season drop which Is grown to pro- vide table greens. The plant xnatuzes in about six weeks from planting, at d sees' should be sown very early in; the spring, AS the plants run to seed during the hot summer months, The seeds may, be planted in rows or broadcasted, and should be sown at a depth of one batt inch. Successive planting may bo made'M so desired, When i'ho leaves pre Janne enougb to use they may be, pulled oft or the whole plant may be cut from the root. ONION. Tho onion is grown for seasoning, pickling, and for :eating raw, A large percentage of onions stored for winter use are grown front seed planted in the .soli very early in the spring. The soil should be rich, moist and weir drained, but fresh manure is not the beat to apply. The seeds should be planted at a depth of;; about one-half inch, and the rows should be from twelve' to fourteen inches apart. The seed should be planted very thinly so that there will be no needfor extra thinning of the onions. Cultivation should cease when the onion'' tops are such a size as to prevent easy work. In the fall. when the tops are about two-thirds died down the onions should be pull- ed and laid in windrows so arranged that the bulbs are covered 'with the tops of the onions. This prevents any sunburn which causes ,consider able trouble in storage. After they have been kept in this position for Sive or six,.days they may be gathered up ' and placed in a :slat box or basket and tied up some way so that the rain will not get at them and the wind will have plenty of chance to circulate around the bulbs. The tops may be removed from the cations at this - time if so desired, or they may be left tn. Dutch` sets may be planted as close together as they will stand in a straight row very early it► `the season. They should be barely covered with soil, which should be well ,firmed by tramping on it, and; the green onions should be pulled as soon as they are ready. for use. PEAS. Peas may be plantedvery early in the season, and for the early crop the seed should be sown in a furrow of two inches deep and the seeds placed an inch apart. Some ar- rangements should be made so that the pea vines will have some sup- port. Limbs, of trees or chickeu. wire may be used for this purpose, as, the vines will cling to this for sup- port and will be kept up from the round. This -upport should be set referably-at the time of planting. his soil should be drawn up around e lie non S. Generally "speaking, it is eta nod practice to add' fresh man - re to ,no soil where one expects to row ()vans. They prefer a moist, eek; nen.

She excited considerable colnmerlt in that port by too length of her voyage and by the fact that she was the. smallest vessel' whicb, up to that time, had enter�edtthe har- bor, and the only Great Lake trailer which had. ever made the 'royago. The Sea Gull started an her re- turn, trip in January; 1866, her de- stination being Boston. Her care _ consisted of 'sugar, molasses, pepper arrowroot, .ivory, and some ;37 pas sengers, also two;monkeys', whit. same of the ,alder citizens aright re member afterwards being - on th_ steamer Bouquet, running to the; Is- land. She arrived in Boston afte_ a voyage of 98 days.,: Here she dis- charged her cargo and loaded Bou for St. Johns, Newfoundland. Sh_ sailed from that port in ballast for Sydney, Cape Breton, and there ; re • ceived a cargo of coal for Montreal She came up light'from Montreal to' Kingston, and there got a cargo of cordwood for Toronto. On her way back to Boston she called` at St. Helena for fresh water, where the crew and passengers visit- ed the' grave of Napoleon. In July, 1866, she` arrived in To- ronto, after aivoyage of 13 `months. She was placed on exhibition at Yonge street wharf; and great crowds flocked to see her. The Voyage had been a 'very fortunate one, none of the crew were,; lost, the vessel suf- fered no dathege, and there were no mishaps whatever, Frank Jackman, sr., was. captain, and his nephew, James „ Jackman, - mate. Captain May, a salt water sailor, acted " as navigator. James Jackman, now of Toronto, is the'only surviving mem- ber of the crew. About $19,000 was paid for the trip, and, after all bills were paid, there was $12,000 profit. A sample of South African rum was brought baek and kept on tap in.the captain's cabin. , Verily a little of it went a long way—thousands: of miles -and old mariners declare it was strong enough to knock a man down.
