school. No one can learn it all at school. You 
can come as near it as anywhere at Cornell Uni¬ 
versity, Ithaca, N. Y. 
Experiment Station Reports.—How can I obtain 
reports from the State experiment stations and 
from the Agricultural Department in Washing¬ 
ton ? Is there any charge, and how much ? 
California. F. p. 
Ans. —Write to the stations for them, and also 
to the Agricultural Department for its bulletins. 
They are all published for gratuitous distribu¬ 
tion. The citizens of a State have the first claim 
upon the stations, but after they are supplied, the 
bulletins of most stations are furnished to appli¬ 
cants outside the State. It would be well to in¬ 
close stamps when writing for those outside your 
own State. 
Best Breed of Fowls. —What is the best breed 
of fowls for eggs alone, all the year ’round, if 
warmly housed in winter ? Some recommend the 
Buff Leghorns very highly. What does The R. 
N.-Y. know about them ? j. a. w. 
Asbury, N. J. 
Ans. —The S. C. W. Leghorn, with, possibly, the 
Black Minorca a close second. The Buff Leg¬ 
horns are a new breed, possessing many good 
points ; but they are probably not pure Leghorns, 
the buff color being produced by the admixture 
of some other blood. 
Onion Growing Again.— 1. Have you a better 
method of raising onions from seed than by sow¬ 
ing the usual old way ? 2. Would you advise sow¬ 
ing the seed in beds under glass, and transplant¬ 
ing in rows when large enough ? 3. What about 
planting small sets about the size of large peas 
or marbles, that grew from seed last year ? 4. 
Which is the most profitable kind to grow ? I do 
not wish to be bothered disposing of green ones. 
What I wish is to grow them until they are ripe 
in the fall, and dispose of them then or later on. 
Galt, Ont. w. c. 
Ans.— 1. No, not for ordinary field culture. 2. 
No, not on a large scale. See Greiner’s New 
Onion Culture for full directions for the trans¬ 
planting method. See The R. N.-Y. for February 
9, page 95. 3. This has been fully discussed in 
The R. N.-Y. during the past few weeks. 4. White 
onions sell for the highest prices, if choice ; but 
they succeed in few localities. Yellow Danvers 
and Red Wethersfield are standard market kinds.
