CULTIVATION OF ONIONS.
A corrcspoudeut asks for informa-tion
as to tbe cultivation of onions.—
We cannot do better than give the fol
lowing from our valued contemporary,
the Southern Culticator. We are ot
opinion that this inay be made valua-ble
crop, almost anywhere, if carefully
and well cultivated:
" Few parsons among us have any
idea of the large sums of money an-nually
expended at the South for these
seemingly insignificant Northern pro-ducts.
How many are aware that the
butter crop of the State of New York
for 1860, sold for more money than the
whole cotton crop of Georgia, large as
it was, and fair as were the prices of
that year ? The amount annually ex
pended in the State of Georgia for
onions, including seeds, sets and for
the table, would surprise us if we could
arrive at it.- This sum should be saved.
More than that, the Northern producer,
at sertain seasons of the year, can be
undersold in Ins own market. In the
months of June and July onions can
be shipped by the car load to New
Vork, and realize a net profit of $1 per
bushel. The railroad will carry this
and other vegetables from Atlanta to
New York for * 1.50 per hundred pounds.
I Onions weigh fifty-five pounds to the
bushel. Any one can make his own
calculations.' .This vegetable will pay
a good profit at fifty cents'per bushel,
as 500 bushels to the acre is not a large
crop.
A totally different quality of soil
is required for onions for market and
for seeds to grow sets. Where sets
are to be grown a thin soil is required.
A knowledge of this fact would have
saved me last year two or three hun-dred
dollars. To grow sets, the ground
must be perfectly clean—otherwise it
is an endless labor. No grass or weed
should be allowed to go to seed upon
it the previous year. Twenty pounds
of seed are required to an acre. Last
winter the seed sold in New York at
82.30 per pound. They should be sow-ed
with the Weatherstield onion drill,
about nine inches apart in the rows.—
This drill opens the furrow, drops the
seed, and covers and roll it. It is an
invaluable machiue for the gardener-cost
before the war $5. The sets must
be kept perfectly clean—the seed hav-ing
been sown as early as practicable
in February. The tools are the scuffle
or the push hoe, and an old caseknite,
with the blade bent or curved near
the end. The working of this crop can
be done by children. The product
should be somewhat over 100 bushel
per acre—ordinary price (5 per bushel.
The cost of cultivating an acre with
me this year has been about $30.—
Onion sets can be shipped North at a
profit, independent of supplying the
home demand. They should be taken
up as soon as the tops "are dead.
Onion, for market should be plant
ed on the richest ground that can be
obtained. The New York gardeners
apply 75 tons of barn-yard manure, or
to the onions, which should be avoid-ed.
The ground should be left perfect:
ly level The cultivation of sets plant-ed
in the fall costs little more than the
cultivation of cotton. It requires ten
bushels of sets to an acre—ordinary
price $5 per bushel. The purchase of
sets is the chief cost. There will be a
few years in which the net profit per
acre will not be more than $200—if
kept until winter, the profit will be
much greater. Last winter onions sold
in Savannah at $8 to $0 per bushel.
The two points on which most igno-rance
exists in regard to the onion are
the saving crop and keeping it until
winter. There is no difficulty about
either, if properly understood.
When the onions are pulled up, they
should be left on the ground for at least
ten days—then gathered into conical
piles of about three bushels, and allow-ed
to remain about two weeks. After
a rain the piles should be opened, take
a day's sun, and then be made up again.
They should not be moved to the onion
house until the dew is off. The least
dampness will cause them to rot.
A cheap pine pole onion house can
be built. This will give sufficient air.
Shelves made ofslats can be put around
the interior in tiers. If properly cured,
the onions can be put on these shelves
one or two feet thick. Frost does not
hurt them; they cannot have too much
air, but must be kept dry.
The onions will come off in time for
a crop of winter cabbages, on the same
ground and with the same manuring.
These will be as profitable as the onions.
An acre of ground will thus give a
handsome income. I have this year
a forty acre field in corn, which on an
average will give twenty bushels per
acre. My patch of onion sets will
bring more money than the whole field
of corn at 81 per bushel.
We must diversify our labor. The
great body of our open land must be
grazed. The small portion of it that
we do cultivate should be made as rich
as possible and planted with whatever
pays best in our particular locality,
whether it be onions or cabbages
potatoes, or cotton."

Ciiii.THiKN's FEET.—Life-long dis-comfort,
disease and sudden death of-ten
come to children through the inat-tention
or carelessness of the parents.
A child should never be allowed to go
to sleep with cold feet; the thing to
be last attended to, see that the feet
are dry and warm ; neglect of this has
often resulted in a dangerous attack of
croup, diptheria, or a fatal soar throat.
Always on coming from school, on
entering the house from a visit or
errand, in rainy, muddy or thawing
weather, the child's shoes should be
removed, and the mother should her-self
ascertain if the stockings are the
least damp, and if so, they should be
taken off, the feet held before the fire
and rubbed with the hand till perfect
ly dry, and another pair of stockings
and another pair of shoes be put on,
and the other shoes and stockings
should be placed where they can bo
dried, so as to be ready for future use
on a moment's notice.
The Boston Journal says if the top
of a carrot cut off at this season, or
later is placed in a saucer of water,
with a few bits of charcoal to sweeten
it, it will form a radiated feathery plant
by no means unworthy to grace any
lady's table.
Professor Higgins, of Baltimore, de
cides that gashonse lime is a good fer-tilizer.
It should be spread upon the
ground and allowed to lie some time
before being turned under, and before
the crop is put in. He says it is des-tructive
to insects.

THE GREAT AIR LINE.—The follow-ing
extract from the annual report of
A. S. Buford, President of the Rich-mond
and Danville Railroad, will be
read with interest:
Iu respect of foreign or through bus-iness,
your line is entitled by position
to a still more rapid growth. To de-velop
it in its natural and legitimate
proportions no practicable effort has
been spared during the last three
years. Much has been accomplished
towards ultimate success, but much
yet remains to be done. The magni-tude
of the interests at stake should
allow no remission of effort. The re-cent
opening of the Columbia and Au-gusta
road from Columbia, S. C, to
Graniteville, a point on the South Car-olina
road twelve miles east of Augus-ta,
has already given yon the short
line by about seventy miles between
Southern and Central Georgia and ad-jacent
localities, and Richmond and
the Northern cities. When so organ-ized
as to give this line a fair compe-tition
for the travel, this improvement
must afford a valuable accession to
your business.
But a still more important develop-ment
to us is the air-line road between
Atlanta, Ga., and Charlotte, N. C.—
This work is rapidly assuming in the
public regard its just proportions of a
great inter-state enterprise of immense
value and importance to great and vi-tal
interests both local and general.—
These most reasonably look to its con-struction
with increasing interest as
destined to afford with its connections
—of which your line is a leading part
a channel of communication unrival-led
in dieectness, grades, and climate;
one by which not only are the trade re-lations
of the great commercial centres
ot the North with the interior and re-mote
South to be placed under new
and most beneficial forms, but also a
great interior development to be effect-ed,
and a grand trunk thoroughfare
organized for six hundred miles,
through the heart of the Piedmont At-lantic
slopes—a country the most de-sirable
for reasonable thrift and social
happiness that the white man has yet
found on this continent.
This important work, it is expected,
will soon be in active progress, and in
relations to this company as to secure
forever your impartial access to the
immense business it is destined at
some time in the future to contribute
to its eastward connections.

SHE WOULDS'T MARRY A MECHAN-IC—
A yonng man began visiting a
youg woman who appeared to be well
pleased. One evening he called when
it was quite late, which led the girl to
enquire where he had been.
" I had to work to-night."
" What! do you work for a livingf»
She inquired in astonishment.
" Certainly," replied the young man.
" I am a mechanic," and she tarned up
her pretty nose.
That was the last time the yonng
man visited that young lady. He is
now a wealthy man, aud has one of
the best women in the country for his
wife.
The woman who disliked the name
of mechanic is now the wife of a mis-erable
fool, a regular vagrant about

miserable girl is obliged to take in

and children.
You dislike the name of a mechanic,
eh I You, whoso brothers are but

brains, who is so verdant, so soft, as
to think less of a young man for being
a mechanic^—one of God's noblemen—

of Heaven's creatures.

young men that work for a living, for

them.
DARE COUNTY.—The bill of the

THE BANKRUPT I.AAV.-According
to a provision of the Bankrupt law, as
originally past, parties filing their pe-titions
within one year after it went in-to
operation might be discharged from
their debts without regard to the
amount of assets or property surrend-ered
; that is, a debtor having no pro-perty
beyond what the law exempted
and allowed him to retain, might still
be relieved of his debts. This provis
ion of the law limited, originally to one
year, was afterwards extended, by an
amendment, to the 1st of January,
1869, and the extension so made will
run out in about twenty days. Upon
petitions filed after that date, the debtor
will not be discharged unless at least
fifty per cent, of the amount proved
shall be paid, or a majority of the cred-itors
give their consent in writing.
