Planting Seeds Too Deep.

Many small seeds fail to terminate,
because they are planted too deep
Even experienced farmers very often
make the mistake of covering seeds so
deep that the plants fail to make a Wig
orous growth while small, while large
numbers. who give no particular atten-
ton to the cultivation of the soil. eX-
cept TO plant small garden, plant
most of their small seeds so deep that
but very small portion, if any. germi-
nate. This they do year after year.
without suspecting the cause Of the fail
ure. but attribute 1t to bad seed. Ii by
chance it is proved to them the seed
was good, then they fall back on the
weather, from which there is no appeal,
it being easy for them 10 prove that they
planted few days before heavy rain.
or very dry period, SO the seed is sup
posed TO have rotted or dried up, while
their successful neighbors are supposed
to have planted at Just the right time to
have all of the seed terminate. We are
satisfied that if all of the facts could be
known, that ten small seeds fail to
terminate because of being planted too
deep. to one that fails to grow because
of poor quality.
When the weather is Just right seed
will find its way to the surface from a
much greater depth than when it is cold
and wet, SO that in n favorable season
there is not so much complaint of bad
seed as in an unfavorable season. The
gardener who plants his small seeds
very near the surface. rarely ever fails
to have them terminate, whatever may
be the state of the weather.
We ought never to lose sight of the
fact that nature. when left 20 herself,
plants very near the surface. From
this il would seem that the nearer seed
is 10 the surface, and obtains moisture
enough to cause it TO grow. the more
natural is the condition. This as n rule
will secure more healthy, if not
more vigorous growth. A plant that
has to struggle through several inches
OF earth before it finds its way 10 the
surface, begins life in the open air in
very exhausted condition, from which
it frequently takes many days TO re-
cover.
One who has never tried the expert
ment viii be surprised to see the differ
ence between plants from small seeds,
that are planted Just deep enough to get
sufficient moisture to terminate. and
those that are planted so deep that they
have just power enough TO reach the
surface.-NdSSachuSetts Pioughmdn.

Make an Asparagus Bed.

Asparagus is as easily raised as any,
thing that grows in the garden, and vet
il is comparatively rare to find it upon
the farmers table. The reason NAV be
that much nonsense has been published
about the difficulties of raising it, and
that we have to wait two or three wears
for the full maturity of the plant. 1t is
true that full crop will not be given
in less than three wears. but when the
bed is once made, the job is done for a
dozen or twenty years. If made this
spring, there will be one wear the less
TO wait. Any good. well-drained soil
that will bear corn is suitable for aspar-
agus. Put in a half-cord of manure to
every four square rods of ground
Work it in thoroughly. Set out one
year-old plants, in rows four feet apart,
and two feet in the row. They can be
kept clean then with the harrow or cul-
tivator. 1t should have cultivation once
in two weeks. through the growing sea-
son. Cover the beds with manure in
the fall, and fork it under in the spring.
Cultivate thoroughly through the second
season and top-dress rs before. The
second season 4 few stalks may be cut in
April and May, but there should be no
close cutting until the third year, and
this should not be continued later than
the middle of June. The plants must
have time to grow, and recuperate in
midsummer. or the bed will soon fail.
The secret of large, fine asparagus Is
abundant manure, applied in the fall
every season, thorough cultivation until
the tops prevent, and stopping the cut
ting by the middle of June. The
blanched asparagus that is so popular
in some markets. is secured by cover
ing the beds with sea-weed. straw or
other mulch. 1t is poor stuff in COM
parison with the long, green, tender
shoots that have had the full benefit of
the sunlight on a rich soil.-American

slant dropping soon fills the cask."
Large crops are simply the result of APP
plvino manure. which every farmer
knows, but many OF them fail to give it
that attention its importance demands.
Even where land is good. manure large
ly increases the crop. This can be OBJ
tanned by different methods on the farm
without resoriing to costly commercial
fertilizers. All the waste of the house
hold should he put into a vat or heap,
and deoderized by the use of road dust,
which is cheap. The manure from the
hen-house and privy should be com.
posted. the hog-pen should have watts
into which is put a liberal supply Of
muck (Which is found on most tarms)
together with leaves and other refuse
matter to absorb the excess of liquid.
This makes a most valuable manure for
all kinds of crops, especially corn. In
the COW stable. muck is valuable as an
absorbent, and should. be used without
stint
Prof. Stewart says muck may be COM
posted thus: Forty bushels or one
wagon load of dry muck, five bushels
of unleached ashes, one hundred pounds
of bone flour. one hundred pounds of
plaster. can be thrown into a heap three
months before using, and fermentation
will take place. As fertilizer he says
this is worth double that of COW ma
nure. 1t may also be composted as
above. leaving out the bone flour, and
substituting five bushels of unslaked
lime. The lime and ashes decOmpose
the vegetable matter. iberate the salts,
expel the acids, fitting it for plant food.
One pint or more in hill gives Wig
orous start to corn or potatoes. \ few
bushels of hen manure added increase
its value as have known, for | have
witnessed its good effects. This extra
quantity of manure can be applied to
some poor knolly and weedy pasture,
the sod turned over, leveled and pull
verized. and the land cultivated in hoed
crops till well subdued, then seeded
down. The same ground which pro-
duced little or nothing is now yielding
from five TO ten dollars per acre, above
cost. This plan strictly carried out for
4 few years converts the nOn-paying
land into profitable farm. This surplus
