RAISING ONIoNs.-I have noticed an inqui-
ry how to raise onions. Having had some
forty years experience in raising them, with
tolerably good success I will inform you how
proceed
Early as possible in the spring, [ cover the
ground with coarse manure from the svard,
such as horse, cattle and hog manure, and
plough to the depth of eight or ten inches ;
then spread on salt, about peek to the eighth
of an acre, and plough again with horse
pillow; harrow it thoroughly, and rake well
with an iron rake; when it is ready, use
machine for sowing, having the drills about
twelve inches apart After the onions come
up, hoe them two or three times with a
shove hoe. The first time wedding, I thin
them out, and separate the plants, weed them
as many times as they need, taking care to
kaep the earth loose about them To destroy
bugs and worms, I have a brood Or two of
chickens, situated 50, they may run over them;
this, have found, has the desired effect
The last time wedding, at about the first of
August, I scatter turnip seed over the same
ground, and get crop Of fifty or sixty BUSH
els of turnips, besides from seventy to one
hundred and ten bushels of onions from the
eighth of an acre of ground. When I har-
vest the onions, am careful to pull all the
weeds, and let the turnips remain till fully
grown. never plough in autumn.-ABRA,

PLANTING PoTAToEs.-I wish to make a
few suggestions in planting patatoes I fol-
low a different plan from my neighbors, and
never fail to have good crop, and free from
rot. | plough my land deep, and furrow
deep, and plant in rows, and place my pota-
toes at the bottom of the fiirrow, with the
manure on top, and cover the same as though
the seed was above the manure. | plough
and hoe twice after this. I do not say this
planting the potato below the manure, saves
me from the rot, only that l have never had
the rot when my neighbors have. I think the
farmers used to cover their potatoes much
deeper twenty-five years ago than is the prac-
tice now, and the rot was not known then. [
prefer to put the manure in the row or hill,
than to spread and plough mp, Waltham,

CHINESE SUGAR CANE wish so inquire
OF you respecting the Chinese Sugar Cane,
whether it is more profitable to cultivate than
Indian Corn, for stock. For instance, for
tattening beef and pork, which is made one of
our staple products. We want something be-
sides syrup. In my opinion, it is got up for
a speculation; sd I think il will prove Il
,humbug, like tba gam potatoes, which, when
they were brought into Newburyport, sold at
twenty-five cents per pound; now there are
none raised in our section. SIS. PEAsLEE.

SOAP SUBS FOR CURRANT BUsHEs.-A cor
respondent of the Indiana FARMER says "
have found the cultivation of currants to be
very profitable. By care and attention, |
greatly increased the size of the bushes and
the quality of The fruit. My bushes are now
about six OR eight feet in height and are re-
markably thrifty. The cause of this large
growth, | attribute in a great measure, to the
fact that | have been in the habit of pouring
soap suds and chamber I've around their roots
during the summer season. I am satisfied
from my own experience and that of some of
my neighbors, that the treatment will pro-
duee most astonishing effect upon the growth
and product of the bushes, and would advise
others to give it a trial"

WHEAT .SowNe-AN ExpERIMENT.--Wm.
l.. f. Joues, of Asbury, La Sale County, H.
linois, writes us: &c AS it is approaching the
season of wheat sowing, I thought the result
of last years experience might be of some
benefit to the practical farmer. On the 9th
day of last April, we sowed small piece of
spring wheat; two bushels were put on per
acre, dragged each way, and Tapped the drag
the usual mode of narrowing in small grain.
>On the 9TH, two days later, we sowed on an
other field two and one third bushels per acre,
and narrowed five times tapping the harrow
half each time. The character of the soil in
the two fields were alike Result; From the
first field, we threshed twenty bushels per
acre; from the last we had thirty bushels per
acre. The variety Of wheat sown, was what
is called with us the Rio Grande. think
the ten bushels per acre in favor of the last
field, was the result of the extra seed and
narrowing. The harrow | use is such as was
described in late number of your paper-a
forty-tooth Scotch harrow. ---Praiyie Farmer
,GRowING PUMpKINs-Allow me to say a
few words in reply to your correspondent in
the Young Ruralist, respecting growing
pumpkins. Pumpkins are seldom cultivated
alone; the seeds are generally mixed promis-
cuously with corn when planting, and when
the pumpkins are grown and gathered, the
best are reserved for culinary use, while the
inferior ones are given to the cattle, though if
my young friend is DESTROYS of raising some
excellent fruit for pumkin pies--a luxury
which none but farmers can indulge in--I
would advise him to give them plenty of room
say four feet apart-and if the land is in
good condition and the plants we'll cared for
they will be most likely to cover all the space
allowed them. When the strpedI bug attacks
them, throw over the vines little fine dry
SCOT, though the rain will wash it off, when it
will be necessary to repeat the process. A
good way to preserve pumpkins is to hang
them up in the cellar by tying cord around
the stem, which should be left on in all cases
where they are to be kept-O. A GOULD,
