INQUIRIES ANSWERED
DY THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE.
Relating to the Farm, Garden, Dairy,
Stock Raising, Etc.
We have recently had a nmnbcr of in
quiries in regard to growing onions for
market, the following from Mr. W. F.
Massey gives a condensed reply to these
inquiries:
"Formerly it was thought that in the
south it was essential to sue -ess to treat
the onion as a biennial plant growing
small hull)s or sots one so is ra to bo
planted for the matured crop the nest.
This notion retarded the cultivation of
onions on a large scale, since this expen
sive mode of culture could not compete
with the growing of the crop direct from
the seed as was always practiced at the
north. But of late years it has been de
monstrated that it is as easy or easier to
grow onions from seed in the south than
in tho north. The only cases in which
it may bo best to use sets are when
growers are interested in the early crop
for shipping green in bunches early in
the spring. For this purpose the sets
are rather more certain for fall planting,
as our autumn weather is apt to lie dry
and interfere with the proper germina
tion of seed. But if the sued can bo
gotten up well in early October we
would prefer seed sown to planting of
sets even for the early bunching erop.
For the main crop of ripe onions seed
are greatly to be preferred to sets, as we
produce in this way a much more hand
some bulb and a l c.ter keeper. There
are two methods of growing the crop,
one by sowing the seed directly where
the crop is to be grown, the other by
sowing iu a frame under glass and
transplanting later to the open ground.
Good,crops can lie grown byfboth meth
ods,hut usually the transplanting method
will give larger onions, but this will not
bo the case with all varieties. The
transplanting method is particularly
adapted to the Spanish end Italian sorts.
Wnen it is intended to transplant tho
onions, we sow the seed in a cold frame
in January. By the middle of February
these will he large enough to transplant,
which is done quite rapidly by making
very shallow furrows with a marker on
well prepared soil, and placing tho little
plants all along on one side of the fur
row, raking the soil from the opposite
sido on their roots and pressing it wi i
tho foot. It is important that th /
should lie sot quite shallow, only bare y
eov ring the white end of the nasee t
hull). W hen the seed are sown where
the crop is to be grown, we defer until
tho ground can he put in good order iu
February or March (or in tho mountain
country in early April). The value of
the crop depends upon the rapidity with
which it is grown. Therefore wo must
not lie at idl chary with fertilizers.
Mellow sandy loam of a level character
is best, and we would use a complete
fertilizer with not less than four per
cent, nitrogon at the rate of 1,500 to 2,-
000 pounds per acre, one-half to ho put
in broadcast, and one-half in furrows
under tho rows. Wo would lay out the
rows with a one-horse turning plow, as
closely as can lie worked by a mule. In
these furrows scatter the remainder of
the fertilizer and plow a furrow from
each sido over the first one, thus making
a ridge or bed. Flatten down the centra
ot tho beds with a garden drill. When
the crop is to he cultivated by hand, we
would sow all the fertilizer broadcast,
mark'out the rows with a garden mark -r
about 12 to 15 inches apart and run too
drill on those lines. When labor is
plenty it will pay with this heavy ma
nuring to plant close and cultivate by
hand. Land for onions should not bo
changed so often as for other crops,
better crops being secured after the land
has been in onions several years. But
there must lie no let up in the hoavy ma-.
nuring, and it is a good plan to sow peas,
to die down on the land, as Boon as the
onions are pulled. The Italian onions
grow quickly and to a largo size, but
are nearly nil of them poor keepers.
Therefore, when the crop is to he kept
for winter use or Into salt's, the northern
sorts should he grown. We have found
the best varieties of the Italian sorts to
be the tjuecn, Mammotn Pompeii and
Giant Itoecn Of tho northern sorts, the
Southport White Globe anti Yellow
Globe Denvers are best. The Prize
Taker onion is particularly adapted to
the transplanting method, and makes
the big yellow onions, like the Spanish
onions often seen here in crates. The
White Southport Globe is our favorite
for a keeping onion. To grow s 'ts for
Fall planting select a piece of land of a
sandy character aud of only medium fer
tility. Do not sow the seed until late in
April. Then sow in shallow furrows at
rate of 30 to 35 pounds of seed jier acre.
Sow in broad rather than narrow fur-
rows, making the row as broad as your
hand and the seed as thick as Ih >y can
lie. Keep clean with hoe, race and
lingers, and when ripe, take up in dry
weather, sifting tlioyioil away, but leav
ing the dead tops atLudied until p anting
time. The White Pearl or the Queen
are best for this crop. The smaller the
sets, the higher prices they will bring.
To keep onions pull them as s >on as
they are ripe. Sun them for a d ly, but
do not allow any rain to fall uj o 1 them.
Cure them iu th 3 hottest place you can
find under cover. 1 usually spiead mine
in a loft under the roof. Aft >r two
weeks they should be put in a cooler and
dark place. A dark room with slatted
shelving is best, so that they need not be
piled deeply. Keep the room as cool as
possible. Even if they get frozen in
winter it will do no harm, provided they
are not handled while frozen, llut on
ions should only l>e kept here for the
home market, since we can always rea
lize 1 Hitter prices by anticipating the
northern crop and selling iu June and
July. Potato onions make no seed, and, ■
of course, an l always grown from sets
plauted in fall. These eouie in as the ,
earliest ripe onions in the market and I
must be sold at once as they are l»ul
keeiters. Tree onions, or top onions,
form a bunch of small bulbs on top of
the stem by the abortion of the flowers.
These bulblets separated make sets for
planting. They make a rank, strong
onion, not very saleable.
FEEDING HORSES.
The largo number of work animals
that die annually from the result of im
proper food or food improperly admin
istered, makes the study of proper methj
o»is of the greatest importance to the
painstaking farmer.
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 the size of the
animal, and the digestion very rip d
and effective. The horse having such a
small stomach, requires to be fed fre
quently in order to supply the demands
of the system: not being constructed for
long fasting, when the stomach is 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 amongst
horses and mules from flatulent colic
and inflammation of the bowels than
any other class of disease.
The most imnortaut consideration
then for all owners' <fi working stock is:
How to feed th-rn to the best advan
tage and to get them to perform the
largest amount of work at the least pos
sible cost?
It is difficult to say what is a faw da vs
w irk for a horse or a mule; t dep ndi
on circumstances, such as ihe uis.ance
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
animals should be watched very closely,
for if they lose condition they must be
either overworked or underfed, or have
a bad horse keeper. They must have
suitable work and suitable food to keep
them in proper condition, which is only
produced by hard work and high feed
ing, which gives tone and hardness to
tho muscles, a state in which they are
capable of performing the greatest
amount of work and possess the greatest
power of endurance.
If a horse is overworked or overfed, or
the feed is insuffi dent in muscle pro
ducing matter, loss of condition inevi
tably follows.
There is no economy in overworking
animals, as they gradually lose tone
and strength, the general condition is
injured, they become poor, wear out
very quickly, their value is considerably
lessened, disease is very prevalent
amongst them and the owner's hand is
constantly in his pocket buying fresh
supplies. In large establishments it is
true economy to keep a few animals
extra in case of sickness or lameness.
Very frequently the loss of condition
is the fault of the horse-keeper. It is of
the highest importance that the service
of a trustworthy, intelligent man should
be procured, who will efficiently carry
out instructions and take an interest in
the appearance and well doing of the
animals under his care. A bad horse
keeper will upset the system of manage
ment awl the whole of the arragements
in the feeding.
Regularity in feeding is very essen
tial. A horse should be fed at least
threo times par day; for the reason pre
vionsly stated, his digestive organs are
not constructed for long fasts. I don’t
mean that he should be allowed that
feed extra in amount of food than if he
were only fed twice, or two-thirds more
than if he were only fed once a day, but
that tho necessary 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; an l all that the
better. It diminishes the interval of
fasting; the animals never becomo rave
nous, but merely appatized; they get a
sufficiency, all of which, in a very large
percentage of cases, is properly masti
cated, digested and assimilated, aud the
waste reduced to a minimum.
The question may naturally arise here:
How are we to feed our mules so often
in the course of the day during the 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 be
made of some porous material with a
strong bottom in it and a strap from the
upper liorder, that can be hung over the
animal’s head. The driver can take his
mule's feed in this, and when he lias an
opportunity, such ns taking liis own
lunch, he can slip the feed bag on to his
mule’s head and allow him to eat; if
only a few mouthfuls, it will satisfy the
cravings of hunger, at all events to that
extent.
