Why are Unions Difficult to Raise 7

Many Of our readers seem t., have
trouble in raising onions from seed.
The seed will grow, and so do the on.
ions, but they do not form bulbs.
They produce thick necks and keep
green and growing until cut down by
frost. Many think this is due to cli-
mate. Possibly this is SO, but in many
cases the trouble is more likely to be
due to some of the following causes
namely: Poor seed; poor land; late
sowing and weeds. By poor seed we
DO not mean seed that will not grow,
but ILL bred seed, seed grown from 4
crop of onions, the best Of which have
been; sold and those not good enough
to sell, planted for seed! A stalli6n:
lsh onion, or one with small bulb and
a thick, immature neck, will produce
quite as much and quite as good look.
ing seed as the best formed bulb-in
fact more seed and better looking seed.
Seed grown from soallions, or from
thick-necked onions will be very sure
to produce scallions. We can row
down stream faster than we can pull
up against the current. The onion
has been brought to perfection BY high
feeding and careful selection, and il
we would maintain what We have
gained, we must continue our efforts;
but must not select Tie poorest onions
to Breed from. Ry poor land, we do
not mean land that will not produce
good crop of corn or wheat or pota-
toes or grass. Land might be too rich
for wheat, but net rich enough fer on:
Tons. This same land might, without
any manure, become rich enough for
onious. We know low mucky land
where onions arc successfully grown
year after year without manure, but
which at first, produced very poor
crop; It heeded the thorough tiflage
and freedom from weeds which all
onion growers find 50 essential. Onion
seed should be sown the moment the
frost Is out of the surface soil the
land shot,ld have been made ready the
autumn previous. If this is not Gone
and you have to get the land ready in
the spring, you may get fair crop OF
onions but can hardly expect a full
yield, Even if everything: else is .fav.
otable, if the onion patch is not kept
free from weeds, you will be pretty
certain of getting liberal sprinkling
of scallions. To certain extent, rich
land and freedom from weeds have the
same effect; both are favorable to rap.
id growth: Onion roots spread out
very little on the surface; they strike
straight down. This is probably why
land that has been thoroughly titled or
heavily MANFRED for years is best for
onions. The fertility has had time to
get down towards the subsoil. Aner.

Care of Farm Machinery.

Pruirie Farmer.
Farmer A. has his farm tools and
machines scattered about in fence
corners and back yards, in fact, almost
anywhere that he used them last.
Farmer B. has his machines nicely
oiled and housed; some Of them he
will give a coat of paint at leisure
times. Farmer B. may not live any
longer for this extra care, though he
should, for he has less to worry over,
but his machinery will last twice as
long as will farmer AS. Manufactur.

The Effect of Manufactures.
Baltimore Manufacturers' Record.

Baltimore Manufacturers Record.
We have repeatedly shown the
value of manufactures to any section
of the country, and,sa bearing on the
same subject, the Charleston News
and Courier, in writing of the Charles
ton Cotton Mill, says: property has
increased in value in all that quarter
of the city where the factory is situa-
ted, which increase is the direct re-
suit of the erection and operation OF
the factory itself. The increase in
many places has been as high as 100
per cent, and it is not too much to
say that the entire cost of the factory
to the city has been more than COM
pensated by this one item alone. The
same remark applies to similar enter
prises in other counties in the State.
The lands around the Piedmont and
Pelzer factories, which could have
been bought at one or two dollars an
acre before those factories were built,
could not now be bought for one
HUNDRED dollars an acre. The in
crease in values of all kinds around
these factories and the Pacolet and
Clifton factories, in Spartanburg
county, and others in other parts of
the State, amounts to millions of dol
lars.u

January Farm Work.
American A priculturist

American Agriculturist.
All farmers should keep record
of their work and stake an account of
stock" at least once year. The first
of January is an appropriate time to
"Open new books" to be followed by
daily or weekly record of important
transactions. See that the farm
buildings are well insured in relia-
bic company at fair rates. Many
fires result from carelessness with
ashes. Build a brick or stone recep-
tacle at safe distance from all build
ings and keep the ashes in it. They
are well worth carefully preserving
as fertilizing material, to be scattered
over the pasture or meadow. Pre-
pare the annual supply of firewood
and let itbecome thoroughly seasoned
before being used. Green wood is
not economical in any sense, and is a
fruitful source of bad breakfasts and
worse tempers. Let the head help
the hands in every possible way;
therefore attend the farmers club
and join, in the discussions. Read
and reflect. Winter may be har-
