Asparagus Culture.

The old and unwise method of max
ing up in depth the narrow space be-
tween asparagus plants is giving way to
the improved mode of allowing ample
room horizontally, without, the trouble
and labor of going down two or three
feet by costly trenching and OF burying
large quantities of manure deeply I'M
dcrcrourd. The plants do best with
al abundance of manure, but the roots
should reach it in their horizontal aad
more natural position. The results of
the two modes are that while the
crowded bed furnishes asparagus stalks
hardly as large as ones tiager, the
roomy n, antation, with the manure with
in a foo: Of tn, surface, gives a bouiti-
mi sunply of shoot, about tie size OF n
