Manure the ground well in the fall, and turn up in ridges, during the winter, and as eaily as it will work m the spring rake or harrow thoroughly so as to get the soil fine and level. Sow thinly in drills half an inch deep, rows 12 inches apart, and cover with fine soil, pressing it down. Keep the ground free from weeds and thin out the young plants so they may stand 3 or 4 inches apart. The small onions pulled may be eaten green and the balance allowed to mature. 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 lbs. to the acre.
