Onion Culture in the South. It is not generally known, tho Mobile Weekly Register says, that ouion oultore might be made extremely profitable in tho Southern States, but such is tho fact, y year there is a great demand for , both North and South, as all the onionB must be raised from thcso, sets can only be grown below the atitudo of Baltimore. Above that lino they mature the first year from the seed becoming what we call late annual on ions. ? Onion sets aro simply tho first year's y, f. . qnions, from tho seed, which have been forced into tho formation of a 6mall bulb by the extreme heat of the climate. The onion stops growing ere it has attaiucd to half its natural size, but when re ?A'lHplabted tho next season, before the ex treme heat sots in, it rosumos its growth rJ friere it left off, and soou becomes a large bulb. .HIV. Attempts are ofton made by gardeners Lh.iV |h thai North, to grow their own onion sets, with a view to saving the consider able outlay necessary to purchase them, but all attempts have so far, resulted iu failure; for the onions kept on growing t> . till they matured themselves. When means have been resorted to to dwari )/J vJthem, the result has beou no better; for, although tho product looked like seta, o?' it wss found, on putting it out the next year, that it had fin.shed its growth, and consequently, would do nothing more. Then, as the set-growing business of "r" '"" this country is climatically secured to us we ought to take advantage of it. Most of the sets now used are brought from the southern countries of Europe?if it will pay to import them under a heavy duty, it will certainly pay us to raise them . tbcm for sale. Our suudy soils of the lower pine country are exactly suited to them, and as they require but little fer tilizing, and but little culture, there must undoubtedly be money in the business. From a pamphlet by Jas. J. II. Ore gory, Marblehead, Mahs., ou the subject b j I of "Onion Raising," we cull the follow ing information; Soil. Onions can be raised on a variety of ?*? soils, but yield the most satisfactory re turns on sandy loam, a gravel\y soil or to state a genoral rule, on those toils which are light in structure Preparing The Soil. Don't plant a weedy soil to onions, or "*^*^and which abounds in witch or crab grass?if you do you will repeut it on your hands and knees. * * * In the fertile lands of the West, the method of procedure is briefly this: Laud on which grows the bush hazel is select ed, if accessible, the bushes cut down, and the top surface but little more than pared with tho plow.?In this condition it is usually allowed to remain a sensou *** exposed to the drying erfecteof the sun, when it is most thoroughly harrowed and raked, and all the numerous root and waste burned. The land is theu plowed to a moderate depth and the seed 9 town either broadcast or in drills. Plowing The farmer who brings up the subsoil in bis onion bed will find ho has made a |?ti.mistake. Onions do not require deep plowing; four or five inches is a sufficient depth to insure a good orop. ***** *4?r\ ^In the West tho ground having been plowed in the fall, frequcutly only re ceives cultivating or harrowing iu the spring. As the great object is to get the land in a thoroughly fine condition, to faeili late the covering of the seed with fine earth to leave the soil light that there may be a vigorous growth of the plants. * * * No labor should oe spared to nttain this eud. How Much* Seed to The Acre. If it is designed to pull tho onions when smill for bunching for the market, liw seven or eight pounds of seed will be required to the acre. If tho intent, is t<> raise tho very small onions knowu as sets, then a much larger quantity will be required. Kind of Seed. The Danvers onion- ia tho most hand some in shape, and yields ns much as any . other sort, and more than any of tho flat varieties. * * * The largo red is quite a favorite in the West and is con sidered by soiio dealers the best variety for shipping purposes. [Tho White Portugal or Silver Skin takes best in the Southern market ] Sowing and Saving. The ground having bcon prepared as * already directed, broad shallow drills from one to two inches in width, are made about ten inches apart aud tho seed sown early in spring very thickly. When the crop has matured it is pulled and stored in cool airy lofts, being spread vory thinly over the floor; thoso raised from tho White Portugal to tho depth of about two inches, and thoso of the other sorts to tho depth of about four. A gentle raking occasionally is of ndvan ago to promote dryncss and prevent sprouting. t;i Ji color that has nover beeu sccu "blind man's huff." Chunks of Agricultural Wisdom. ~"' ? rf? Here ? what Prof?ndissimus "kno^s about farming.'* \Vheo be knows a little more be will publish a book. It's high time that farmers began to get the frost out of the ground, and the plough in. It's poor husbandry Co leave the frost in alter tbo first of April. Ploughing should bo done in the night, according uo "Poor Richard" says: "Plough deep, while others sleep, And you'll have oorn to sell and keep" If you want a eure crop, though, we would advise to plant a little as well as plough, though the above lines say nothing about it. Don't seed too heavy j one ear to a hill is euough. Ifitduu't all come up, you can boo it up. Plaster is the best manure for corn. We thiuk old Doctor What'BU?s>bamb'*? "corn plastor" as good iib any. If the crop shouldn't silk out well, put on n fow silk-worms, aud they'll begin to spin as soon os the ''spiudlcs" are grown. The stalks should be cut as soou as the sap starts, aud the juice should be secured in demijohns, as "corn-juice" is thought to bo excellent in buying. The best instrument for cutting stalks, i? Boyuton's "Lightning saw." Should lightning bo scarce, you can drivo the saw by steam, or with au ox goad. When the coru is dug in the full, tuke up a good deal of earth with the roots, to pre vent injury to the delicate fibres. The buttatulks, accordinging to our friend flu Gag, whoso initials will be tit once recognized, "arc excellent for cattle chopped up," though if the cattle are chopped up badly, wo should thiuk they would be beyond butt-stalks or other human aid. At any rate if you feed them out, a mixture of white oak chips or scrap iron, half and half, will be found an improvement. To shell corn, use a ton inch bomb shell, especially if the ears are of the lung Southern variety. During the war. I our government shelled a lot of Soot hem "long ears" with goon elfuct, bringing j t'owu a heap of "kuruels," in a general . way. Early rows potatoe?, as the name im plies, should be planted early iti the 'morning, in long straight rows. Ilelorc plauting, wash and pare them, and cut out the ejus?though en second thought, we are uot sure but this applies more particularly to cooking thctu ; we'll ask the women folks about it. Potato vines need not be stuck unless you huvo slicks you wish to get rid of, j but you will get ' stuck" yourself, if you pay over S18 02 a peck for your seed. The balls will form on the vines hy the time the bats begin to fly, aud they should be gathered alter three or four white fro.-ts have come, wheu the cuttle can be turned in to dig up and eat the roots of which they are said to bo fond. We would not recommend much "rain except "old rye," which can be obtained at various places about town. Cracked wheat wo believe to be a humbug, as we sowed an acre of it, and not a pnrtielo ever came up; wc had no better luck with pearl barley.?Ncvburuport Her ald.
