From notea taken down, after some ex' perUaee, and from such eminent. English agrieultaraliata aa Johnson. Knight, Miller and other*, hare these compilation and detail* been gathered. Redundancies and apeeulativ* theories hare been avoided.? J A* we are unable vo bay loreign nmimrfu ad took, m little as possible ha* been said of tbetn. Common sense and industry will direetOs to many boms resources that will yst repleobhish this unhappy region. Laisr, dowa right labor, without stint or any , reservation by each, and every individual over four years old, is the capital, and 6nal resource, to prevent annihilation; for we are already ruined. Onions, ( iIlium etpa.) The region or country in wbicb this species of onion was originally produced is unknowr. From time immemorial it lias been diffused over the civilised world. It is nutritious, stimulates the digestive organs, enters largely into condiments, and has several medical prep ertiee, Its odor proceeds from its essential oil, which is materially expelled by boiling. A warm, dry climate suita it best; hence it la, that Spain and Portugal produce the best in Europe. But Hasselquist, a Sweedish traveller and botanist of the past century, Bays that no ODions in the world are equnl to those grown in Egypt, where they are sweet and teqjler, whilst in other countries they are strong and hard. These qualities are derived from the heat and dryness of atmosphere peculiar to that region on the Kile. There are over fifty epeciee of the onion tribe, and of this variety fourteen are enumerated, vis: 1, Silver-Skin, 2, Early Silver Skin, 3, True Portugal, 4, Spanish, 6, Strashurg, 6, Deptford, (English,; 7, Olobo, 8t James Keeping Onion, 9, I'sle lied, 10, Yellow, 11,Blood Red, 12,Tripoli, (African.) 13, Two Bladed and 14, LI bson, (Portugal.) Those most commonly planted in this cor.ntry are the 1st, 8th and 11th varieties; nil of which are propagated fr>tu small, black seeds. The Soil should be rich and friable, and the subsoil dry. It it is over stiff, reduce it with sand. A sunny exposure, frco from the influence of trees and shrubs, whose shade and moist drippings nre inimical, ( should by all means be selected ; nor should Other plants be reared between the rows. Prepartili tn.?For either garden or field culture, the ground should be broken up to the depth of 14 inches, duiing the autumn or early part of winter. Manure.?To manure one acre, it requires at least 20 cubic yards of the strongest cow stable manure, which has been incorporated With 30 or 40 bushels of strong ashes, (or a much larger quantity of slocked,) 50 bush<U of charcoal dust, 1 bushels of bone dust, or its equivalent in phosphate of lime, nud a small quantity of salt, lime, and gypsum. Two principal constituents of the onion are potassa and phosphate of lime. It also contains soda and carbonio jchl. This manure will become decomposed before the planting season arrives.' Fresh manure, undo composed, if used immediately before planting, Is apt to engender disease and larva, (maggots;) therefore, that from a hot bed '?f a previous season Is excellent, when the land has not 1 0< n sutumnly prepared. Immediately after the manure has been spread over, the surface, the ground should he lightly ridged so as to cover it, and become mellow from the action of the winter frosts ; j nor mnst it be covered loo deeply, as this j U at surface grown Dum. sons lor raising setts for planting, or pickling onions, nco l not be so rich. Garden Culture, and mode of planting in I general. From October to April, although the latter part of February, or the early portion of March is to be preferred, sow the principal crop, selecting dry and open weather for that purpose, and thus gire a hanger growing season. Planting.?Pulveriz i the eoil, and make , it smooth. Give it a top dressing from a compost of leached ashes and fowl-house manure that lias been previously saturated with strong soap suds. layoff the bed* 4 feet wide, with narrow alleys between them, so as to adroit of ffhau !rg and convenient management. Roll or prose them by walking over them on a plank. Cross these bed* with drills 12 or 14 inches wide, and near a half inch deepIf to raiee large on tout at one planting, and during one season, drop them from 1^ to 2 inches apart, and cover them ae described below. At thoend of six weeks thin them | to four inches, and four weeks later, again thin them tog, 10, or 12 inches Constant ly supply them with liquid (nannrc administered late in the day, made from fowl and eow stable manuie, and slacked ashes.?! When planting setts or pickling onions sre | desired, the seeds must be dropped nesr s | haf loch apart Cutter the drillt with a mixture of three part* Of well pulverized rich roil free from any kind ?f ??*?, and ore part of slacked a< hoe, pack it l'ght'j* an^ ?mooth it over with the general surface.

Keep lb# plants clean of weedt and grass, by light hoeing and hand-weeding, which mutt not shake or more the bulbs. As ihev ?Jvence in size, keep the soil removed Irom their foots, to n to mature and develop them ; for the beet and moet hardy are always reared by exposure to light and air. [f a wet season promotes an excess of leafgrowth, or Ihlcktiess of neck, which pre vents the growth of the bulb, bend them down about two inches above theq?ok For the same reason top such se are running to seed. If bulbs were planted, tbey ma lure In July. Thoso produced from seeds sre later, which is known by the fading of the leavee and decay of the root fibres As they mature, they should be token up to prevent a second growth. Expose them for a short time to the enn, but not to open night dews or air. Afterwards spread them on a floor under cover, and when dry, attach them to straw ropes and hang them up, carefully removing all that are decaying, or that are bruised, which > produces contagion. Field adlure.?T\\e land having been broken and manured as already described, should be lightly ploughed, thereby breaking down the top ridges, and receive a top dressing of manure. Lay off the same width of bed with a plow. Smooth and roll them. Use an iron .or wood rake, whose teeth are from 12 to 14 incites apart, to make the seed drills.. Plant and cover the seeds as before directed. A field requires fully four hoeing*. Remark* ?An nvcroge crop is about 2,400 pounds A Northern string of anions should weigh pounds.

Vf. Knight snys Unit bulbs ruined from (lie needs planted in May, "will produce onions that will keep through a second winter. Others prefer to plant the seeds in August, where they renruin untill the following March, and then they arc'drawn nttd planted and are equally successful. Tho Portugeso sow seeds it) n ntoderite hot bed, during the months of November nnd December, for spring planting. To *a?t srrti-In Fehruny or early in March, in ground pre| arcd as directed sbove> plant out well developed onions ifi rows 2 feet apart and 15 incites from each other, and by alb means at some distance from all other specie* or ti il?-s to prevent mixing. Cover them romewhnt above their crowns, nnd as tliey advance into seed stalks, keep litem free of gra*s or weeds, and apply a liquid manure of cow stable and fowl house manure with leached ashes around their roots. In any manner most convenient arrange smttli poles longitudinally with the rows and attach them to stakes about 12 or IS inches high. To these each seed stalk niust.be fastened so n* to prevent them from falling, nnd from being too mneh agitated by the wind. In July or August, when their Itcnila turn brown, they must he cut to prevent the opening and shedding of the seeds ; suti dry them, but keep them from dew. or 0113' otlu r source of dampness. Finally ruh them out and clean them, and harg them np in bags. Onion seed keep from one to three j-eara. Nora?Cur? is one of the finest regions on the continent, for making onions and their seeds; as lime with it is not a promi nent part. The Button Onion, Tree, or Canada Onion (Allium ( ann Jenna )?This species of onion is perennial, nnd derives its name from a duplicate production of bulbs formed at each extremity of tlie plant. Unlike the onion erpa, it produces its see.is by original bulbs at the top of its stalks, and it ma}' also be re produced from offsets around its root. Beirg easy of cultivation, and very hardy, although more acrid than the onion crpa, it is somewhat a favorite, and its top bulbs are excellent for pickles. Deep planting expands it into cloves.? A shallow culture tends to restrain a division, and produce larger onions when their necks ore bent down about two inches from I..,;. ...i. Tlte preparation of the toil, manure, tho loyieg off of tlie ground, unci mode of plant ing offset*, or top bulbs, is in every reaped the tame na that required for other onion*. The time for planting root offtett, ia during September or October, or in the following March or April. If they are to be propa gated from top bulbs, or button*, they meat be planted near the last of Aprd, ao as to prevent a premature effort to produce hulha, and which must be prevented by toping and bending down so as not to detract from the perfecting of the root bulbs. Those specially left to produce seed and culinary buttons, most be supported with stakes* nnj poles similar to those used for other seed onions. The. saving and storing of each portion ol this tribe i? similar to that pi escribed for the onion cepa. Remarks.?Old roots should be separated every three years, and as they produce the best seed, separate cloves should be planted and treated like other seed onions. By all mean* keep the potatoe tfiion, rocambole, and other top buttoning species, (commonly bat improperly teimt-d ecnllione,) or tribes of onions, far remored from seed onions, or a worthless hybrlde production will be the con8ccpK.''ce.
