A New York microscopic, DR.. Walker
of Frankiinville, has discovered that
the cape worm producing the we'll
known disease in fowls, lives during
one stage of existence in the earth
worms; just as the liver iiuke of sheep
passes during part of its life in species

Buffalo Microscopical Society, DR..
Walker stated that the earthworms are
the host of the minute cysts of the
cape worms, and the chickens in eating
the former, also swallow the latter
Probably only those earthworms, in
yards where the fowls have ran for
some time, contain the parasites. and
hence the fowl yards should be occa-
sionally changed.

DR.. Thurber writes to the American
Agriculturist that probably there is no
important difference between the large
kinds of asparagus fancied in the East.
Those who grow the largest asparagus
for market, set the plants six by four
feet apart, but the planting is ordinary
much closer. Rows four feet apart. and
the plants two and half feet in the
rows, will give good results. The land
being marked out at the proper dis
tances a shovel OF good manure is
worked in where the marks cross, and
the plants are setEOut, carefully spread

enough to place the crown, though the
Long Island growers, with very light
soil cover the plants seven or eight
inches deep. For the first two years
the plants should not be cropped, and
the third season only a moderate cut
ting should be made. It seems long
while to wait for returns, but when they
do come they will continue regularly
Tor twenty years or more. Planted in
this manner, there should be an annual
manurlng to maintain productlveness. ;
A member of the Mexican National
Executive Committee of Cattlemen |
offers the following. asserting that it |
has cured the most stubborn cases of |
dry murrain:
The best general treatment for cattle |
troubled with fever or murrain, is plenty |
OF shade green, juicygrass, and sufficient |
pure, cool water for drink. The more
they can stand and be bathed in cold |
water the better it is for them. A
physic that has proved effectual where
many others have failed is made by
mixing two ounces of aloes and four
ounces of jalap with one pint of corn
meal, with sufficient amount of lard
to make 1t into paste; mix well and
make it into eight pills about one and
inches in diameter, three
or four inches long. Put cleyis in their
mouth large enough to admit mans
hand passing through it; pour from a
pitcher about one gill of water into the
mouth, draw the tongue slowly and
gently well out of the mouth with one
hand, having previously rolled one of
these pills in wa ;er, lay it with the other
hand gently on the roots of the tongue.
as straight out as possible, aud then let
go OF the tongue. 1t will fly back like a
piece of elastic, which will take the pill
down the throat. Repeat in like man
ner until all the pills are given, using
IN all one or two quarts of water, ac-
cording to the size of the animal, as
care must be taken not to overflow the
stomach and drown the animal"
