Culture. The Onion had been cultivated as an article of food from the earliest times, and is, perhaps, at the present day, more uni- 

 versally grown than any other vegetable. A good crop is impossible unless the soil is very rich and kept clean. Use well-rotted manure freely, 

 and get the crop in as early as possible in spring, even should the weather be cold and unpleasant. Sow in drills 1 foot apart and cover about 

 one-third of an inch, treading or rolling after sowing so that the hot, dry atmosphere may not destroy the sprouting seed. When 3 inches 

 high, thin to 2 inches apart. Stir the ground freely without disturbing the young plants and keep free from weeds. One ounce of seed sows 

 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds, an acre.
