John Whatmorc, Dunleith, Illinois, writes
the New-England Farmer as follows:
81 generally grow several sorts of Onions.
When my black seed onions require thinning
out in. the bed the Second time, draw out
those with the largest bulbs, about the size
of horse beans, and lay them on the ground
in rows to dry. They will enlarge consdcra-
bly, after being drawn Let them lie till the
tops are quite dry and dead--no matter if
they have a shower Of rain or two upon them,
! if turned over to dry again. When quite dry
| tie them up in small lunches by the tops,
and hang them up where the sun can shine on
them, taking care to stow them om of frosts
way in winter. Soon as spring opens put
them III rows about six inches apart each way,
and we get early green onions, either to cat
green as a salad or to use with sage for
stufling ducks to roast
Potato onions | plant twelve inches apart
each way, on not too rich soil, but that well
pulycrized. Rich soil makes the bulbs grow
to a larger size, but they rot and won't keep.
MuItipliers and Shallots plant in good soil.
| find the Top or Tree onion to pay the best
here, as they arg a sure crop. plant the
large bulbs for raising the seed on good rich
soil, and let the little punches Of small ones
remain on the old stalk till it is quite dried
and dead-then gather the tops, spread on a
boarded floor to dry, and put away in open
baskets or boxes with many holes or cracks to
admit of plenty of air, till the next spring.
Pull the punches TO pieces, and plant each
little bulb separately about six inches apart
in tho rows; the rows being wide enough to
admit of a hoe between them These small
onions bring good crops of largo ones if kept
clean from weeds and planted on good rich soil.
| suppose the above is what your correspon-
dent requires to know about onion SETS

The London Country Gentlemen's Maya
zine gives the following instance to show the
benefit of stirring the soil upon arabic or Gull
tivated land (hoed crops, &c.,) during a pc
Rod OF great drought. A gentleman-the
name and locality are giyen--had field of
turnips sown in drills, and made it point to
hoe three drills with his own hands daily,
during the severe dry season of 1926. The
result was that the three drills were good
crop, and the rest of the field came almost TO
nothing. The fact shows the value of stir
ing the land as means Of preserving the
moisture in the soil, more satisfactorily than
any other similar instance we have ever seen
recorded. The same writer also makes the
following remarks upon the Importance Of
thorough puveri2ation of the soil as a method
Of retaining moisture
-" The pulyerizing of the soil contributes
greatly to the retention of moisture We
were in this poiut follower of Jethro Tull,
and it was the perusal of his writings that
set us 70 work He pronounced the opinion
that pulyerization was the one great idea of
successful farming. Whom large cavities
abound in land, plants suffer more in dry
weather than in land with minute pores
This proposition seems TO be sell-ovidcnt, but
it has often been disputed, as contravening a
law of capillary action, that the ascent OF
water is IN the inverse proportion of the di.
ametcr Of the tube. Now, it cannot be dc.
MED that II fine division Of the soil is anala.
gous to small capillary tubes but one fact
is fairly overlooked in this reasoning-name.
ly, that the fine small particles of soils com.
pacted together exclude largely the air atoms
and thus prevent the full evaporative power,
that would otherwise rule aud operate. Ii
is said that in digging hole in the soil in dry
weather, pounding down the excavated earth
and afterwards returning it to the hole, NOR,
moisture is absorbed and retained than in IN,
surrounding ground This process we hay,
brought to the proof, and found its trutl
amply verified IN soils holding something les
than their normal quantity of water; but
in eases where moisture was redundant il wa
otherwise. In the prevailing plan of drain
ing soft flats 40 or 80 years ago, we hay,
undoubted evidence of tho powerful action O
evaporation. Tho shallow stone drains of i
inches proved an entire failure, 80 far as tn,
removal of the surplus waaer was concerned
The great law of grayitation being counter
acted by capillarity, the soft flats RENAME,
nearly as moist ms ever"

The Annlc rrrn I,nrer.

The Lewiston (Maine) Jouraal says that in
many localities, where the borer exists. il is
the greatest enemy against which the apple
tree has to contend. Ii literally eats off the
stalk when it once inlests young tree. The
prevalent opinion seems to be that the only
remedy is to cut them out but this is bar.
barous practice, aud we have succeeded in a
much better way, by way of prevention. A
year ago we looked over every tree in a Young
orchard Of one hundred trees and cut out
every borer we could find Previous to the
first Of june we wound around the bottom of
each tree some rags, to the hight of six or
eight inches, taking special pains to prevent
any access to the tree beneath the rags. This
operation was very simple one, and per.
formed in less time than il took to survey
the trees. Not a tree was touched with the
borer last year They seem to have left the
premises in disgust, except in one instance,
where we found a deposit above the bandace.
The experiment was so simple, and so com.
pletc, that We do not think Of any other
method at present The rags will decay and
not form ligature TO the tree. We com.
mend the attention of our readers, at once, to
this method of getting rid Of the boror. Do
not put II off till the insect has deposited its
eggs. In that case, your bandages would
probably be Of no use

Cows Holding ~ their nInk-Buucr Closet, sc.
l. Cows fall of in milk from various caus-
os. lrregularity in the time Of milking;
performing the operation in an imperfect
manner; the lack Of water in pastures; over
driving in bringing the animals from the
pasture to the stable, &C., &c.
A COW will often withhold her milk whom
her calf has been taken away aud is not
allowed to suck, and especially viii this be
tho case when the calf while being reared, is
kept in a situation where the mother can
keep up an acquaintance with II. Some ami
mails have much stronger attachment than
others for their young, aud will not " give
down. all their milk to the milkmaid until
they have entirely '5rgotten the calf In such
cases. if the calf happens to be placed where
the COW can communicate with it, even though
| il be separated from her and not allowed 10
suck still the knowledge that the calf is upon
the premises will often induce her to d" hold
up her milk" and we have known instances
whore this mental anxiety and maternal ailec-
ton has very nearly caused the animal to
ego dry"
If the calf Is to be reared it should be
taken from the COW at an early date, and
placed whore she can have no knowledge Of
its existence She will then soon forget il,
and there win be no trouble on this account
with her milk. Occasionally there are COWS
Of a vicious or sulky disposition that get in
the habit Of holding mp thcir milk for the
slightest dissatisfaction. Such cows are un.
profitable and are only ft for the shamblos.
There is another class OF cows that do remark
ably well for short time after "coming in,
but soon bcgiu to fail Of their milk, running
nearly dry in the middle Of summer. This IS
"a constitutional defect for which thore is no
remedy. Some cows are of AN extremely
nervous, excitable temperament, aud will hold
up their milk from harsh treatment and angry
words, or anything that excitos fear aud dis
quctude. Gcntlcnoss, kind words. and
system Of petting the animals, so as to gain
their confidence aud affection, with plenty off
good feed and water, are the best thinga, in
our experience, for filling the milk pals"
IL. 4 place for storing butter ia the cellar
should be entirely separated from the vcgcta-
Bile department. as any foul gases from the
decay of vegetable matter or indeed odors
from anything else slowed in the cellar, will |
be apt to faint the butter, or impart to it |
more or less bad flavor. We should advise |
a portion of the cellar partitioned off and
arranged with good ventilation, to be used
specially as a butter-room. The drainage |
should be perfect and the floor made with
cement.

First, have stout, tapering plants, by giving
them plenty of room, sunlight, and air, from
the commencement of growth. Then study
the habits Of the plant, and you will sec that
from the main stem, it throws out, at inter-
walls, long rough leaves and at u later period
from above the junction OF those leaves with
the stem, starts out secondary stems with the
same habits as the original. These continue
to multiply themselves until you have large
vino, and plenty Of small green fruit neces-
sarily late in ripening, for the reason that the
force of the plant has been spending in pro-
ducing vine. Do not wait thus long and
think to remedy the matter by slashing OIL
the vine at random to let in sunlight, as is a
common practice. Begin with the plant in
time, and train it to suit you.
/ The time TO begin trimming is lust when
the first cluster Of flower buds appear. This
will generally be at the junction Of the fur.

Of flower buds, and all the strength and juices
Of the plant ere sent upwards, pushing for.

stems, except enough to leave five or sly
clusters of fruit. Your vine, so long as you
continue to pinch off the stems, is checked
