Experience with Japanese Onions 
Iu one of the issues last Spring there 
was an inquiry about Japanese onions. 
You knew nothing about them, only that 
they had been grown some in the New 
England States; therefore. I wish to give 
my experience in growing them on a small 
scale. My garden is 54 ft long and 37 ft. 
wide. I put in four rows, a total of 216 
ft., and harvested 412 lbs., I set them 
March 21 and pulled them July 28. 
Weighed when I trimmed them. Had I 
set my whole garden to them, 1 would 
have had 31 rows: set 14 in. between 
rows, and 2 in. apart, anil would have, 
provided the rest had done as well as the 
four rows, about 3.200 lbs. I calculate 
Many of our customers report $400 and 
$500 per acre from Knight's Strawberries. 
Our new Champion Everbearing has pro¬ 
duced over $ 7,000 to the acre. Compare 
this to the money you get from wheat 
and corn, then send tor

Raising Brussels Sprouts 
Can you give me any information as 
to the raising of Brussels sprouts, i. e., 
season, quantity used, market, usual 
price, profits? What degree of frost will 
they standV Can they be stored during 
the Winter ? s. h. d. 
Brussels sprouts in this section are 
usually planted in the seed bed front June 
1-15, with some sowings ns late as June 
25. The plants are usually reset in the 
field in rows 30 to 36 in. apart and from 
20 to 30 in. in the row. Very often 
“sprouts” follow early potatoes. Land 
should lie in a high state of cultivation 
and well fertilized, riants set July 20 
will sprout from October 20 on. Two 
ounces of seed should furnish abundant 
plants for an acre, though some sow three 
ounces to insure a supply. Strains of 
seed vary greatly, some grown iu the 
same community bringing 75 cents per 
ounce, where other seed from a grower 
of known reputation cannot be bought 
under $2.50 to $3 per ounce. A good crop 
is 3,000 quarts, though yields vary from 
notliiug to G,000 quarts. 
The New York and Philadelphia mar¬ 
kets are the centers to which the crop is 
sent. There has been a greatly increased 
outlet for this crop within the past 10 
years. Prices vary, and fluctuate widely, 
even within a day : 10 to 15 cents as an 
average selling price is a good one. A 
net of $3 per crate (32 quarts) would 
make this a profitable crop. Profits from 
this crop arc more uncertain than in¬ 
comes secured from almost any of the 
crops grown in this section, except cauli¬ 
flower. The following figures will give 
my garden about one-twentieth of tin 
acre, so you can figure what the acre 
would have produced. I am 73 years old, 
and have not. studied arithmetic since the 
old Greenleaf edition. What onions I I 
kept for own use are iu cool cellars, have 
not started any growth, and in flavor as 
mild as any Spanish onion. I sold early 
what I wanted to dispose of for 6c per lb., 
and could now get 16c for them. After 
setting them, there is no weeding or thin¬ 
ning ; can all be done by cultivator. 1

An old physician of the last generation 
was noted for his brusque manner aud 
old-fashioned methods. On one occasion 
a woman called him in to treat her baby, 
who was slightly ailing. The doctor pre¬ 
scribed castor oil. “But, doctor,” pro¬ 
tested the young mother, “castor oil is 
such an old-fashioned remedy.” "Mad¬ 
am,” replied the doctor, “babies are old- 
fashioned things.” — Edinburgh Scots¬
