SOWING ONIONS IN TIE FALL.

Many farmers and gardeners--especi-
ally those who wish TO have their onions
ready for the market towards the close OF
spring, or commencement OF summer
SOW The seed in autumn. From the last
Of August TO the first half Of September is
probably the most favorable season for
this business, although a week or two ear
lier or later will not essentially affect the
crop. The plan is thought judicious by
many on several accounts.
In the first place, it enables the grower
to occupy the soil for the production Of a
valuable and marketable product, from
which a previous crop has been taken, and
which, but for this system Of alienation,
would remain idle for a considerable por.
ton OF the year. Onions may be sowed
after a crop Of early peas, beans, corn or
tunips. In the second place, it will ena-
bic him 10 obtain an early crop, which will
BE- ready for market several weeks before
his neighbors', who follow tie old practice
of sowing in the spring. There are at
present but few vegetables which yield a
larger and more certain profit than the
onion. Ii almost always commands fair
price and ready market, and for family
use, especially during winter, is one Of
the most wholesome, as well as palatable
vegetables with which our tables are sup
piled.
BY clearing the surface Of tile soil, stir
ring it 10 the depth of three inches, by
means Of an iron-tooth rake or other i'm
plement, and manuring with SCOT, char
coal, gypsum, house ashes and lime in
equal proportions, good crop may usual
ly be secured. The compost should be
applied previously to sowing the seed, say
one bushel to the square rod, and as soon
as the plants make their appearance, the
same material should be sown upon them.
In the spring, as soon as the soil is sutii
GENTLY dry, the beds should be top-dressed
with the same, or with SCOT and plaster, or
If SCOT cannot be procured, charcoal finely
pulyerized by passing heavy roller over
it on finn floor, will be found an excel
lent substitute. Irrigating with stale urine,
or with soap-suds fresh from the laundry,
has an excellent effect upon the crop.
In Scotland, gardens are shown in
which the onion has been cultivated with
success for a series Of upwards of seventy
consecutive years, without the ground
being plowed or spaded, and with no 9TH
or stimulant being applied than coal dust,
ashes and SCOT.
A gentleman informs us that he has
seen onions which we're four inches high
BY the last Of September, and more yigor-
Gus, apparently, than those Of the same
age in the spring.
The cold Of winter has no other effect
upon the crop than merely TO arrest the
growth, and as soon as the frost is out
Of the ground in the spring, and before
the temperature Of the atmosphere is
sufficiently genial TO stimulate the circu-
laiion Of the sap in less hardy vegetables.
the onions commence growing, and con
tinue to increase in size till mature, with
out injury from disease or debility Of any
kind.-N f. Farmer.

SAVE YOUR SEED CORN.

There have lately been several seasons
il which corn mRiarcd very impcrfecily,
especially IN 1889 and 1860. Much 81
The corn planted in 1850 and 1861 came
up slowly. exhibited a siokly appearance,
snd IN some helds there was only small
portion that came up at all. This diff
Guilty may IN a great measure be remedicd
by selecting and saving seed corn from the
field
When living in the West few years
since, | did as most farmers IN New Eng
land do top the stalks, and at planting
time 20 to my crib and pick out my seed
corn. When my first crop was on the
ground ] sent a man in the month Of Sep
TENDER 10 top the stalks, and on his re.
turn, he said TO some person that had not
seen the corn, that il made has arms ache
10 reach up SO high, to cut the stalks above
the cars, and was laughed at for saying so.
The next time he went 10 the field, he cut
to the ground and brought home two stalks
with ears and tops; one with one ear, the
other with two. measured them, and
found one was fourteen feet, the other
fourteen feet six inches, in length. tied
them up 10 the ceiling where they re-
manned tall the next planting time
When my ground was being planted, ]
directed my man TO plant these ears, and
mark the rows where he put them. When
the corn was coming up, ! noticed two
rows came up earlier and more vigorous
ly than those on either side, and in week
after, the corn in these two rows was a
third larger, apd was of a dark green col
or, while the other had more or less
sickly appearance, ! could not account
for the difference.
afterwards asked my man where he
planted those ears. He said, So
many rows from the west end, and in
counting, found those two rows the ones
ALA led TO. This corn kept the lead made
larger crop, and maiured before that on
either side.
Lei me advise the readers Of the Farmer
to 90 into their corn fields early, and So
lect the best ears and those that ripen
first. Save the whole, ear, butt and top,
and place ON poles, in dry, airy situa-
ton. do not advise topping the stalks
of any part of the crop. The corn and
