Asparagus.

The importance of asparagus in Il
sanitary sense, is not duly apprcci-
atcd by one out of ten farmers, who,
more than any others, are so situated
as to have it with little trouble or
expense. 1t is permanent thing,
requires planting but once in life
time, and comes very early in the
spring, just at time when the appc-
tite of the farmer who has lived dur
ing the winter months upon bread,
potatoes and meat, demands "some-
thing green" and the good housewife
is longing for "somcthing to cook for
n change" We copy the following
plain instructions as to its culture
from Iick's Illustrated Monthly, and
suggest that it be used as one of the
"permanent rows" in the horse gar
den which all who want to make the
most of their garden are now pre-
pairing:
There can be no better time than the
present To make Asparagus beds. Deep
spading or plowing. and working in q
good body of wcllrottcd manure upon
a piece of well.draincd soil are the es.
scntial preparations for the crop.
Good, strong plants, one or two years
old. should be procured, and Of good
variety. Conover's Colossal Is the best,
and we advise it in preference to any
other now in the market. There Is a
great difference in practice about the
distance apart the plants are set. For
culture on large scale by means of the
horseshoe or cultivator, three feet by
two feet are not too great distances (;
but in the garden, where IT is necessary
TO economize space, the plants may be
set closcr--if the Cultyator j. to be
used. the rows may be three feet apart
and the plants set one foot from each
other in the rows; If the hoe and the
fork only are TO employed, they may be
set as closely as one foot each way. To
set the plants trench about eight in.
ches wide and six inches deep should
be dug along the line, and in this the
plants carefully placed. so that the
roots shall spread out freely in every
direction after this cover in the plants.
being careful to work in soil that is fine
about the roots; this last caution Is
hardly necessary, for 1t is supposed that
the preparation given the soil is so
thorough that every spadeful is fine
and mellow. After planting. cover the
ground with a dressing Of old manure.

gen in the form of ammonia. Upon
soils in which the ammonia Is com
bned with acid, it sets free the am
monia, which is directly seized upon
by the plants.
Its solubiIity in water causes it to
sink into and amcliorate the subsol.
When the soil contains fragments of
granite or trap rocks, lime hastens
their decomposition and liberatcs the
silicates.
Its combination with the acid in
the soil produces saline compounds,
such as potash, soda, etc.
Its exerts marvellous effect upon

which in Belgium is not grown for
seven years after lining.
Strcwcd over young plants, it de-
stroys or drives away the turnip fly.
Worked in with grass seeds, the
beneficial effects OF lime, chalk, mari
and shell sand have been visible for
period of thirty years.
1t is generally supposed TO hasten

Applied to the rot heap, lime ef-
fcctually destroys the seeds Of weeds.

vegetation of all kinds.

Cultural Uses Of Lime.

The Journal Of Forestry, tEnglish),
in an article on the cultural uses Of
lime, chemical and mechanical, and
rs to its influence on both the organic
and inorganic constituents Of ise soil,
gives 4 summary Of its chief benefits,
from which we make she following
extracts
A larger produce of ceEeal crops Of
superior. quality. This Is especially
the case with wheat, which becomes
thinner skinned, and yields more
flour. The peas grown upon lined
lands are better boilers.
Upon deep alluvial and clay soil IL
increases the crop of potatoes, and
renders them less waxy. Sprinkled
over potatoes in the store heap it
preserves them, and when riddled
over the cut sets, it wonderfully in.
creases their fertility.
Lime eradicates the finger and toe
disease in turnips, and gives greater
soundness and more nutrtivc quail.
ties to the bulbs.
1t gives, when applied to the
meadow lands, larger produce of
more nutritious grasses, ond checks
the foot rot in sheep pastured upon
them. 1t also exterminates bent as
well as coarse and sour grasses, de-
stroys couch grass, and acts power.
fully upon the rye grasses.
Upon arabic land IL destroys corn
marigold and weeds of various kinds.
1t rapidly decomposes vegetable
matter, producing large amount OF
food for plants in the form of car.
homie acid gas.
1t destroys or neutralizes the acids
in the soils hence its adaptability to
sour soils.
1t acts powerfully on some of the
inorganic parts of the soils, especially
OH the sulphate of iron found in
peaty soils, and The sulphates OF
magnesia and alumina.
It proves fatal to worms and slugs,
and the Larvae OF injurious insects,
though favorable to the growth oi
shell bearers.
IL destroys the germ Of smut upon
the seed of wheat, barley and oats,
and Is especially acceptable 10 the
barley crop, which Is generally oi
good quality upon chalky soils.

Small Fruits.

Our lively and reliable little con-
temporary, the Farm Journal, gives
q paragraph of advice upon this sub
ject which is "good as far as It goes"
AS an improvement upon its plan we
urge the DEMOCRATS plan of combin-
ing fruit and vegetable garden in one,
by planting the blackberries, cur
rants, rhubarb, asparagus, and so on,
In rows ten feet apart, and growing
the summer vegetables between them.
A row Of early blackberries, ten or
twelve feet distant from another of
late ones, with single row of peas
between them, put in with a horse
and plow, and worked by a horse
and cultivator, to be followed by
celery or late cabbage, or turnips,
will prove more economical use Of
ground for ''living purposes" than
tue Journals plan of a fruit garden
by itself:
Half an acre OF small fruits, or even
one-fourth OF an acre, will give an
abundance of fruit for any common
family. But a short time is required to
bring a patch into bearing; thus plant.
Centre Democrat. [volume] (Bellefonte, Pa.) 1848-1989, 1879-10-16

AND still we have to write "dry
and warm," and that to degree
beyond anything within our recollec-
ton. The whole country about is
parched like n desert. Wells, springs
and streams, never before known to
fail, have gone utterly dry, and water
is husbanded as carefully as milk.
Fall sown grain cannot sprout, and
would die if it could. The only hope
is that it may remain dormant until
rain comes.

TAKE advantage of the pleasant
October weather and hurry up the
corn husking. The corn will not
thoroughly dry in the field, and there
is no use in long waiting. Two or
three weeks standing after being cut
off is as good as more, and the husk-
ing can be done more easily and
rapidly, and therefore more cheaply,
now, than if delayed until rough
