The onion trials ofthe last season at t he New
York experiment station were with thirty four
named varieties, which were planted in rows
ten feet long and eleven and one-half inches
apart, the seeds being covered One-half inch
deep. Three rows of each variety were planted
in order to note the difference upon yield of
cioseness in planting. In the first row the
the second to two inches and in the third to
one inch apart. The earliest variety to mature
its bulb was the Extra Early Red. in 116 days
from planting; the latest ten varieties in 163
days; In nearly every case the yield was
smallest in the first row, where the spaces
were three inches. and largest in the
third row. where the spaces were one inch. but
in no case was the increased yield of the second
and third rows In proportion to the in
creased number of plants AS rule.
the largest bulbs were in the first row. There
! seems to be some foundation for the opinion
held by some onion growers that the bulbs de-
velop better, Offering fewer scalliOns where
they are so close in the row as to crowd each
other. The following experiment with onions
is quite suggestive: The soil was thoroughly
pulVerzed over small plat OF ground, aud
on an adjoining plat of equal size the ground
was packed as hard as possible by repeatedly
pounding 1t with heavy maui. The surface Of
both plats was then covered with finely pulver-
lied soil to the depth of half an inch, and on
June three rows ON each plat were planted
with seed of the large red Wethersleld onion.
Late planting was disadvantageous to the yield,
out the three rows on the compact soil yielded
| nine pounds seven ounces OF merehantable
| bulbs. while the three rows On the pulyerZed
soil yielded but three pounds three ounces. The
| percentage OF vegetation in the two plats was
! not not:ceaby different, although the yegets-
| t!Un was prompter Oh the compact soil.

PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.

The people of the country should bear
in mind the patent fact that reform un-
der the incoming federal administration
must be more or less slow. Tho presi-
dent and house OF representatives will
be Democratic, but the senate, at least
till March, 1887, will be Republican by
two to four majority. The latter body,
therefore, II so disposed, can hold q veto
on measures OF reform. Il Is hoped.
however, that the Democrats, realizing
this fact, will 40 shape measures as to
carry tnom through the senate. In this
spirit the tariff may be partially cured
OF its enormlties, and other measures of

appointments tho now president
