We have recently had a number of in-
.Itriee in regard to growing onions for
market, the following from Mr. W. F.
Massey gives a condensed reply to these
•‘Formerly it was thought that in the
south it was essential to success to treat
the onion as a biennial plant, growing
small bulbs or 66ta one season to be
notion retarded the
onions on a large scale, since this expen
sive mode of culture could not compete
with the growing Of the crop direetfrom
the seed ss was always practiced at the
north. Bnt of late years it has been do
it may be best to use seta are when
growers are interested in the early crop
for shipping green ia bunches early . in
the spring. For this purpose the sets
ar^ rather more certain for fall planting,
as our autum^. weather is apt to be dry
and interfere with the propeT germina
tion of s&ed. But if the seed can be
gotten up well in early October we
would prefer seed sown to planting of
seta even for the early bunching crop.
For the main crop of ripe onions seed
are grehtly to bo preferred to sets, as wo
produce in this Way a much more hand
some bulb and a better keeper. There
are two methods of growing the crop,
one by sowing the seed directly whore
the crop is to be grown, the other by
sowing in a frame under glass and
transplanting later to tho open ground.
Goodfcrops can be grown byfiboth meth
ods,but usually the transplanting method
will give larger onions, hut this will not
bo the caso with all varieties. Tho
transplanting method is particularly^
adapted to the Spanish and Italian sorts.
When it is intended to transplant the
onions, we sow the seed in a cold frame
in January. By the middle of February
these will bo largo enough to transplant,
which is done quite rapidly by making
very shallow furfow3 with a marker on
well prepared soil, and placing the little
plants aU along on one side of tho fur
row, raking the soil from the opposite
side on their roots and pressing it with
the foot. It is important that they
should be set quite shallow, only barely
covering tho white end of the nascent
bulb. When tho seed are sown whero
the crop is to bo grown, wo defer until
the ground can be put in good order in
February or March (or in the mountain
country m early April). The value of
the crop depends upon the rapidity with.

.Very frequently the
is tha fault of the horse-keeper. It is of
the highest importance that the services
of a trustworthy, intdligentman should
be procured, who will efficiently cany-
out instructions and. take an interest in
tho appearance and well doing of the
animals under his care. A bad horse-
keeper will upset the system of manage
ment and the whole otthe
in the feeding.
Regularity ir
tial. A horse should
three times per day; foi
viotisly stated, his digestive organs are
not constructed for long fasts. I don’t
mean that he should bo allowed that
feed extra in amount of food than if he
were only fed twice, or two-thirds moro '
than if ho were only fed once a day, but
that tho nocessary total amount for the
day should be divided into at least three
times.
Many large establishments, owning
some thousands of horses, divide their
day’s rations in four; and all that the
bettor. It diminishes the interval of
fasting; the animals never bscome rave
nous, but merely anpstized; they get a
sufficiency, all of which, in a very large
percentage of cases, is properly masti
cated, digested and assimilated, and the
waste reduced to a minimum.
Tho question may naturally arise here:
How aro we to feed our mules so often
tho course of the day during tho busy
season when they are in harness from
morning till night? I’ll tell you how it
is done in other places under similar
conditions, and it was the grave results
and heavy losses from long fasting that
impressed upon some one the necessity
of instituting some plan to obviate it.
The plan is the nose bag, which can bo
made of some porous material with a
strong bottom in it and a strap from the
upper border; that can be hung over the
animal’s head. The driver can take his
mule’s foed in this, and when he has an
opportunity, such as taking his own
lunch, he can slip the feed bag on to bis
mule’s bead and allow him to eat; if
only a few mouthfuls, it will satisfy the
cravings of hunger, at all events to that
extent.
This largo amount, which is fed by
many stock owners at night, should be
reduced at least one half, for two reasons:
excessive, and aa before stated, the
time occupied in eating it must deprive
limalsof so much time for well-
earned rest, which, with a sufficiency of
food, they could enjoy, hut with en
gorged stomachs/>f unmasticated food
they cannot possibly bo benefitted to
any appreciable extent by nature’s calm
restorer—sleep; to say nothing of the
disease such a system engenders. These
are no empty theories; they aro estab
lished facts, based upon actual experi-
1, which have been proven after close
rvation an '
most practical
have the interests of the stock owning
public at heart. Endless experiences
could he enumerated of men who have
tho responsibility of large numbers of
hard working animals, and whose posi
tions, 1 '
dition
of tho feed bills.
Suffice it to say, however, that the
secret of success lays in the system of
feeding small quantities at a time, and
often, of food containing the different
elements necessary for the requirements
of the animal economy.
I do not propose to ' enter uppn the
subject of the composition of food here,
my object being more especially to di
rect attention to systematic feeding; how
food should be given rather than what
should be given. Most people know that
all animals require for their nourish
ment food containing tho proximate
principles, nitrogenous, non nitrogenous
and mineral, and it has been proven that
the absence of any one of them induces
starvation and death. What is neces
sary, then, in all nutritive food is that it
’ieso
proportion, so that
animal body may bo sufficiently
isbed.
In all animals water is also necessary,
not only os a diluent, but as forming a
component part of the blood and tissues.
There are differences of opinion as to
whether horses should be watered before
or after feeding. One eminent veteri
nary authority recommends it before
feeding, and gives his reasons thus: The
water passes directly through the stom
ach into the intestines in a few minutes,
which he proved by giving colored water
coarse salt take 6 pounds;
pounds; saltpetre,.1 tcaspoonful, for each
100 pounds of meat. Mix together these
ingrediouts and proceed to rub every
pioco well with the- mixture.- Should
the blado-boae not have been taken from
the shoulder, plunge a knife into the
joint and fill the cavity with salt. Take
the cliino-bono from the hams; cut down
to the point and fill with salt, the same
as shoulders. Put tho meat to storic
with tho skin side down, sides first,‘hams
and shoulders on top. Be careful that
form a bunch of small bulbs „ r
the stem by the abortion of tho flowers.
These bulblets separated make sets for
planting. They make a rank, strong
onion, not very saleable.
FEEDING HORSES.
The large number of work animals
that die annually from the result of im
proper food or food improperly admin
istered, makes the study of -proper meth*
ods of the greatest importance to tho
painstaking fanner.
The following from a bulletin of the
Louisiana Experiment Station contains
interesting information and sound ad
vice on this subject.
The stomach of the horse ■ is very
small in comparison to tho size of the
animal, and the digestion very rapid
and effective. The hor3o having such a
small stomach, requires to bo fed fre
quently in order to supply the demands
of the system; not being constructed for
long fasting, when the stomach i3 over-
distended and its powers over-taxed, it
is quite incapable of performing the
functions of digestion. This theory ac
counts for the greater mortality among3t
horses and mules from flatulent colic
and inflammation of the bowels than
any other class of disease.
The most important consideration
then for all owners of working stock is;
How to feed them to the best advan
tage and to get them to perform the
?ar|tesfcamount of work at the least pos
it is difficult to say what is a fair days
work for a horse or a mule; it depends
on circumstances, .such aa the distance
to travel, weight to draw, condition of
the roads and the disposition of the dri
ver. It is of the utmost importance,
however, that the condition of working
aqimala should be watched very closely,
for if they loae condition they must be
either overworked or underfed, or have
a bad hone keeper. They must have
suitable work and suitable food to keep
thelh in proper condition, which is
produced by hard work qud. high 1

stomach, but dilutes the gastric juice,
a vl instead of fie e tom nek performing
t3 proper functions or digestion, pirtial
d-KO npnsition o: th-? food takes place,
then follow the consequences of indiges
tion.
Asa lu’e^-nre water may bo allowed
with inMefi- and advantage, in such
quantities as the animal seams to re
quire, provided he be not heated or ex
liausted by work, when it should • be
judiciously supplied in moderate and re
peated quantities until his thirst is satis
fied.
It is sometimes difficult to arrive at
what may be considered the best feed
for work stock. Fall rations of corn by
itself is fattening for a time, but too lax
ative in its action, and should bo mixed
with othor food materials having
opposite tendency to counteract it. Now,
beans or peas aro especially valuable,
their physiological actionls opposite to
that of com. Given alone, beans and
peas aro too heating and binding, but
when mixed they counteract tho effect
of each other.
I have hero noted d.own a scale of feed
for work horses or mule3 weigning about
1000 pounds, which can be increased
proportionately, containing all the re
quirements necessary to form a good
ration, viz: Shelled corn, seven pounds;
oats, throo pounds; peas, three pounds;
hay chopped, thirteen pounds.
The ingredients of this ration
mixed together, making a total of twenty
six pounds and dividing into at least
throe feeds. Of coarse, the preparation
of this scale of feeding would necessitate
the n8e of a little machinery in the form
of a hay chopper, com crusher, etc., and
all this chopping and mixing may
very unnecessary and expensive, but de
pend npon it, on a largo plantation, or
th fact on any place where a number of
work stock are to be fed, the first cost
would be the greatest, because I have no
hesitancy in saying that what would be
eaved in feed and tho reduction of mor
tality amongst work animals would
moro than doubly repay for any, extra
trouble and outlay.

MANURE FOR THE ORCHARD.
Is stable manure valuable -to U3e on
the orchard, or would you advise tho uso
of something else?
S. B. N., Dougiasville, Ga.
In first establishing a vineyard or or
chard the use of stable manure may be
found beneficial to promote a sufficient
growth of wood and vine, hut is is better
still to locate your orchard on land con
taining sufficient organic matter and ni
trogen to promote this growth without
any additional application of nitrogen-
ions matter. As a rule, highly nitrogen-
ions manures aro injurious rather than
beneficial to the orchard. As stated in
the last report from tills department,
there is nothing hotter for tho orchard
than wood ashes, though it is well al-
1 fertilizer material that will
supply phosphoric acid. The b03t source
for this supply is pure raw bono, which
will give all the nitrogen required by
the trees or viues, and in such form as
will not form a small rank growth, upon
which tho fruit will poorly ripen and
render the trees liable to suffer in win

Diseases of tho eyes are not infrequent

The so-called wolf tooth or blind tooth
tho indimentary tooth located in front
of tho molar teeth and on a lino with
them. As a rule it is shed simultaneous

retained longer. When they aro thus
retained, should thoy change from their
usual straight position it would incon
venience tho animal, and whero the point
of tho tooth is sharp may causa soreness
of the tongue or cheek. In such cases
we advise their removal, though they
would by natural action beconxo quite
absorbed. In removing them uso a pair
of small forceps and do not punch them
out with a chisel and hammer, ns it
causes the animal unnecessary pain and
apt to injuro tho gums and neighbor-

CUT BONE.
Feeders of poultry and hogs are bo
ginning to appreciate.the value of ent
raw bones in feeding their stock. Ii

this article is of great value for feeding
growing pigs and chickens, and any
farmer who is feeding much of this kind
0* stock will do well to buy a bone-cutter
and attach it to his windmill or other
power, if he has any.
Cut bones aro well worth wl
cost for manure. They contain
and phosphoric acid, and aro mors val
uable by far than bona ash or the ground
steamed bones sold by dealers in fertil
izers. There is no reason why this ma
terial should* ho gathered by tho bono
dealers, and after steaming to extract
the glue, ground and sold as fertilizer.
It can bo bought at tho moat markets
for about three fourths of a cent per
pound, and will pay well for cutting and
feeding. The poultry and pigs will
grind it for you, and their manure will
be enough richer to repay tho cosl, be
side whatever profit thero may be in
feeding it. It is not pleasant stuff to
handle in warm weather unless cut and
fed immediately.
