Harvesting Onions.

In favorable season, with proper
culture and good seed, the onion crop
will mature evenly and the time of har-
vest be indicated by the dropping over
of the greater part or all of the tops.
As soon as the crop is ready to HARVEST
1t Is best to pull vt once, for the oniens
will be brighter and keep better thar if
permitted to remain in the ground afer
they have attained their growth and tae
tops have lost their lively green cold'
Under adverse circumstances onions
sometimes incline to run to scalliols
and many of the tops refuse to drop
down and dry up. A common practice,
when this state of affairs exists, is to
roll an empty barrel over the bed, to
break the tops down few DAYS previ-
GUS to pulling the crop.
When the main crop is ripe harvest
It and sort out what is unfit for market
or table use. Pull the onions by hand
or rake them out with an ordinary hand
rake. One mode is to throw them into
heaps containing two or three bushels,
there to remain until the tops are cured
and the bulbs are hard and solid. If a
rain occurs, these heaps must be opened
on fair day and replied, so as to rad
them of the moisture that would other
wise blacken and injure the onions.
The usual plan is to cart the crop
away when the tops have become
thoroughly dry and store in some cool,
dry place where there is free circula.
ton of air. There are cultivators,
however, who leave the onions in the
field after pulling until freezing weather
or until they are sold, believing that
early housing induces sweating and
sprouting.
The tops ought not to be removed
until they are dead throughout their
entire length. Many farmers DELAY
topping their onions until they are
marketed When the onions are to be
kept through the winter it is advisable to
store that crop where the frost will not
affect it and where no loss win be sus.
tanned from heating or growing. The
cellar is not good place unless il
chances to be dry, cool one. A lat.
tice-work bin affords an admirable
storage, provided it is raised little
from the floor in some well-ventilated
building. Onions receive little or no
injury from freezing, provided always
they are thawed out gradually, but as
this cannot be insured the safe plan is
to protect them. When freezing weather
approaches some farmers spread layer
of straw about twelve inches deep I'M.
on the barn or garrett floor; on this they
place layer of onions, say five or six
inches deep, and cover with LAYER of
straw about two feet deep, held in
place by boards or rails.
If by any chance onions become
frozen they should remain undisturbed
and covered until thawed. ~. Y.
