WHEAT PRospEcT. The farmers of Hi,
nois have every reason to be satisfied with
the appearance of the wheat crop at this
time. We have reliable information from
more than twenty counties of southern
Illinois, giving assurances that during the
past ten years the Nheatfields in March
have never appeared SO promising as now.
The growth is admirably set, COVERS the
ground well, is healthy and strong, en-
couraging large expectations Of full gra'
neries at the close of the season, The
amount sown last fall was unusually
larce, and 1861 bids fair to be as distin-
guished in Southern Illinois for the pie
choric corn crop as in Central and Northo

This Machine is much admired for its simpci

ease and yet it will sew from the coarsost cloth
to the finest Swiss. Ther. is no trouble Of re-

of Agriculture "As far as practicable,

dough state, and before the bloom is much

injury to the next years crops, much more so
than that to other grasses. Il being bull

INVERTED TREEs.-A correspondent sends
US an account of tree in the town of Fort
Edward, which, q few years since, was dug
up and placed in an inverted condition.
This is no new fact connected with the growth
of trees, but was long since discovered by
Andrew Knight, the eminent Psychologist, OF
England. So similar are the roots and
branches in their nature, that if we bend
down a young plum or cherry tree, and cover
it with sod, it will soon shoot out roots, and
the original roots being afterward gradually
detached, will send forth leaves, and thence
produce fruit.

Raising Onion Seed


As nisa law of nature that like prodeces
like, 1t is Of the utmost importance that srea;
care should be taken to obtain seed that
vii produce the most perfect specimens Of
its kind. This holds true in regard to onion
seed, for it is notorious fact that this escu.
lent has been improved in shape and color
within . few years, from a fiat turnip-shaPe
and pale red color, to nearly a round or
spherical form, and bright, clear red color.
In saving onions for seed, then, care should
be taken to select those of the desired shape
and cOlor, and Of medium size, or o little
above it. The best time to do this is when
they are pulled, as then the perfectly ripe
ones are more easily distinguished than when
they are cured. Another advantage to be
gained is that the earliest may be reserved,
in order TO get an earlier crop, if desired,
the NEXT year. Onions intended for seed
should be set out about the middle Of April
or at the usual time of sowing. The ground
should be prepared in the same manner as
for the regular crops, their laid out in drills
about three feet apart, and four inches deep.
In these drills the onions are to be placed
four or five inches apart, covered with fine
dirt, gently pressed down with the feet, or
hand roller. As soon as they are well out
Of the ground, they should be gone through
with hoe or cultivator, and the weeds kept
down BY occasionally hoeing the ground, and
wedding, until the seed is ripe. Digging
trench between the rows, either with spade
or hoe, about the time the seed is in blossom,
and working the dirt thus dug out around the
onion stalks, is beneficial. Care should be
taken, after the onions have blossomed, not to
handle them, or disturb their roots. The seed
natures about the same time that onions rails.
cd from the seed get ripe. The time for gath.
ering is when the heads assume brown color
and the balls begin TO crack and get ripe. The
heads should then be cut of and exposed to
the sun on blanket or floor, until the seed
will readily she'll; then by rubbing with the
hrnds, or threshing with fail, If quantity
Is raised, the seed is made ready to be passed
through Tfanning- mill, or exposed to a win.
moving process. Aher this is done, the
seed should be put in vessel Of water, and
only that which readily sinks Is to be pre-.
served. It Is then dried IN the sun for day
or two and put away in bag, in dry, airy
place, until wanted. Onion seed should
never be trusted after it is two years old.
The different varieties, when planted for seed
should be put at considerable distance apart,
as the seed readily mixes. From three to five
Poundsof seedare usually raised froma bushel
Of onions.
