The Proposed International Ocean Yacht
Race-The Offer of the Dauntiess Declined.
LONDON, Dec. 80. 1865.
In reply TO Mr.. Benefits acceptance OF the grant
ocean yacht race challenge issued by Mr.. Ashbury
the latter gentleman objects to the first clause OF the
conditions respecting the tonnage, the Dauntless
being nnety-nine per cent larger than the Cambria.
In declining Mr. BENEFITS offer he, however. hopes
that he shall have the pleasure OF meeting the Daunt
less at the principal that win come or in the
English and French waters during the ensuing sum-
mer. In case no other American gentleman should
accept the challenge for the grand ocean race, Mr..
Ashbury still intends to cross the Atlantic and join
in the competition for the Queens Cup in American
waters.
In reference to Mr.. BENEFITS proposed course
from Cowes TO New York the London Morning Post
OF yesterday argues that race to the Azores ANA
back would be decidedly preferable as fair test to
the respective qualities OF the vessels.

How to Treat Balky Horses.

Ifyou have balky horses, or if they do
not pull, there is some cause for it, and
ifyou remove the cause, the effect will
cease. When your horse balks he is
excited, and does not know what you
want him to do. When he gets little
excited, stop him five or ten minutes;

How to Start an Asparagus Bed.

How to Start an Asparagus Bed.
have told how my neighbor manages
his asparagus bed after it is once started.
Thinking that some would like to know
how to set out an asparagus bed, I in
quired how the beds formerly described
had been prepared and planted. 1t seems
that before the old man came here he
owned a very fine bed, from which
he had brought seed. Early in the spring
he marked us many of his very best
shoots as he deemed necessary, and al
lowed them to grow up and ripen their
seed. This seed be sowed in drills, hav-
ing thoroughly dug and prepared the
ground. OF course the young plants
were carefully cultivated and weeded,
He prefers plants one year old, and says
that older plants are not worth setting
out. Ihave heard different opinions on
this poiut, but give his plan as he
stated it to me.
In the meantime the ground for the fu-
ture asparagus bed was dug, or rather
trenched deeply, and underdrained with
stone drains title would, of course, have
been better). The soil was made very
rich and plants were set in rows twelve
inches apart, the plants six inches apart
in the rows. The beds are divided so as
to be light and porous, the plants were
set in rows twelve inches apart, the
plants six inches apart in the rows. The
beds are divided so as to be 81 feet wide
with alleys one foot wide between. In
this way he can cultivate his bed and
cut the aspagus without walking over
the sofia very common, though very
Objectionable practice. The planting
should lie done in the spring, and if the
plants are strong and healthy, the ground
in good heart, and the beds properly
carSd 1Of, rev ursrTvs maybe nad the
second year, although the Ted does not
come well into bearing until the third
year, and not fully until the fourth. AT
the rate of productiveness exhibited by
the beds described, bed 81 feet wide
and rs feet long would give three or four
good dishespe week during the seasons
1t will thus be seen that's by no means
difiult operation to raise this delicious
vegetable, and yet know villages in
which there is not one asparagus bed to
each hundred houses. If any one after
reading what have written sould be
smitten with the fever, let them prepare
bed this fall. Next spring one year
old plants can be ordered at low rate
from almost any scotsman, and if you
follow the directions of our ole
friend, you will not find it difficult tC
grow asparagus.-Cor. Country Gentle
