TO RAISE ONIONS.
To have early green onions in

from sets are ready to market,
preparation must be made now.
The sets cf potato onions may
be planted, or old onions left in
the ground, which, as soon as
the ground thaws, will send up
numerous green shoots, each
having a small, tender bulb. It
is a good plan to leave the
smaller bulbs of a good-sized
onion patch, just as they have
grown during the season. Cul
tivate the rows lightly in the
fall, and cover them with
coarse manure. The onion is a
heavy feeder in every condi
tion, and the rains and snows
of winter will carry the most
valuable part of this manure
down where It will be assimi
lated by the bulbs. The shoots
will push up through the mulch
