? THE vegetable origin of the horse dis
ease is the subject of paper IN the
american Naturalist, by Mr.. Morehouse.
of New York. He examined the matter
cXuGin@ from the nOstrilS Of the affected
: animals; and. besides the regular puS.
found no less than three kinds of vegetable
organisms. all in states OF vigorous devcl'
: opment. One was species OF minute
: lichen. known as UrccolGria scrUp0sa
I These were ia every form OF development
= there being hundreds of fragments IN ;
I single drop. Another was an unknown
' species of AspergiLts. also giving evidenc,
of propagation and growth. The thir'
I form was an unknown species, not hlther

n vegetable origin of this disease nearer to

ASPARAGUS CULTURE AND MANrRE.-
:, have tried all kinds of manure for Is
!, paragus plants. and all sorts OF treat
:, mcnt. Nothing. however. produced sue
. a rank growth and thick crop as fresh coy
\ manure. We have often used horse ma
" nurc. well rotted, and salt and variou
. other applications. But the pure COZ
manure. spread over the bed about tire
:, inches thick. proved far the best. III

y " this cau.e. We always leave our stalS

cut them just rs they show above III
:, earth. and, to get sufficient length, poil
~ the knife somewhat diagOnally dow
a. ward. severing the plant about three il
g ches under the soil, we only get an edlb
- portion of about two and half inches
- length, whereas if we wait one or NV
n days more for increased growth, and CT
p Just at the surface, we get nearly or quit
a nine inches of excellent food. and W
= think our bed yields more of this lon
u kind than the short, and that the plant
really thrive better. After the first ell
ting being thus delayed there is no moi
lost time, as all future growth, by bein
allowed to flourish little longer betol
cutting, comes in rotation the same as
o cut earlier; but, as before said, we thin
!, better and more crop can be obtained b
