done." They say the magget and the
large brown worm have been SO destruc-
tive that they have done trying to raise
that valuable vegetable. In answer to
such inquiries permit me to reply.
There are at least six kinds of onions
But they are of the same species. The
leek. the garlick, the hill-onions, the top
onions, the red and the silver onions
From the fact, that, whenever onions have
been found growing wild, they are always
found, most plentifully and most flourish
ing in much soil, have taken the hint to
prepare my onion bed with a plentiful
supply of muck first put into the hog yard,
and then well mixed with common soil
If l plow the ground, l take care not to
have the ground to light, AS the roots of
onions do not go down deep, they will not
stand drouth so well in light as in more
compactsoil.r IL Besides, onions bottom bet
ter where the ground has been rotted or
hard trodden. 'aH gs-''s're's r,sg1 q si' a.es

reason, Allblack seed onions are slow to
come up, The weeds get 8the start Of
them and then you are obliged to get down
on your hands, and knees and weed with
your fingers. Then warm weather has
come on and the maggot fly commences
with the young plant and destroysit. And
the black seed onions is SO late that the
black worm is just in season to bite Off the
tender stalk, and so deyours the onion. >.
But plant the top onion" seed, which
is already little onion, you may get-ihem

Immediately, so that youm hoe them
twice or more before weeds appear. And
before maggot orworm time, the onion
has got the ground by possession. When
the weeds appear, you may march right
along with your hoe and go over with a
bed large enough for twenty bushels. be-
fore breakfast. ,a.1.o
The reason why maggots have ever de-
stroycd the top onion is, that they were
planted too late. They should be planted
as soon as the snow and frost disappears.
Some put out in the fall and do well. l
have never tried it. The top onions on
good ground are large as any. They are
sweeter and more juicy than other yarie
ties, and can be raised almost as easy as
potatoes. .a.' Z eaI ..s.ia1sAiag+ .=-s.s
