MAKING AN ASPARAGUS BED.

Of all the crops for the market gar
den, especially if conveniently situat-
ed to large city, asparagus is one of
the most satisfactory, because it is
easy to cultivate, easy to gather and
easy to sell. The land should be heav-
lily MANFRED and worked up to a
depth of at least ten inches. Trenches
are then opened up to a depth of nine
inches with pillow. The plants should
be set about three feet apart in these
trenches, and enough earth packed
about the roots to cover them well,
and the harrow will complete the job,
throwing in little additional earth
upon them as it is drawn lengthwise
over the rows. This work may be done
in the fall or spring. At the end of
the season the trenches will be
partially covered in and during the
next year may be cultivated level,
leaving the roots eight or nine inches
below the surface of the ground
Every spring the whole surface should
receive thorough cultivation with the
pillow and harrow, and be we'll ma
nured. Mr.. Garfield, of Michigan,
who has had eminent success in grow
ing asparagus, states that he applies
stable manure and refuse salt al
ternate years, the former at the rate
of thirty-two tons per acre.-Canadi-

PREVENTION OF POTATO DISEASE.

Experiments in the prevention of
potato disease were made at the Albert
Farm, Glasnevin, and at Garryhill,
County Carlow, Ireland, in 1892.
According to the recently published
report of the Agricultural Depart
ment, the Founder, a variety ex-
tremely liable to disease, was select
ed, and the experiments were made
with a view to ascertain whether the
mycelium of the fungus reached the
tubers through the tissues of the
plant or by means of the spores falling
upon the earth and then washed down
to the surface of the tubers in the
soil. The ground was covered early
in June beneath the plants with cot
ton wool, carefully placed around the
stems, with the object of filtering out
the spores that might fall upon the
ground. The disease appeared in July
and the leaves of the plants were bad
ly affected. When the potatoes were
lifted in October it was found that
there were no diseased tubers beneath
the cotton wool, but considerable
amount of disease in the unprotected
AASASC, ~ 40 LII
ferred by those in charge of the ex-
periments that disease spores reach
the tubers by passing through the
soil, but further experiments are nee
essary before stating definite conclu-
sions. If this point be established,
the advantage of high moulding, as
advocated by Mr.. Jensen, in provid-
ing layer of earth of sufficient thick
ness to filter the rain water as it
descends through the earth, and there
by arrest the spores before they could
reach the tubers, will receive further
proof. The potato crops in County
Dublin are generally more free from
disease than those grown in other
parts of Ireland. This comparative
immunity is attributed to the earlier
planting of the crop, keeping the land
free from weeds, and the general sys-
tenn of changing the seed from which
the crop is grown year by year.

RAISING CHICKENS IN SUMMER.

Does it pay to hatch chicks after
the weather turns warm and the prices
go down? This can only be answered
by looking over the prices offered
during previous years and estimating
the probable cost and loss. One of
the obstacles in winter is that there is
quite a large loss of chicks due to
cold, single case of neglect some
times entailing entire loss of the
brood. In summer this difficulty is
not met with. Then, again, in winter
there must be more labor bestowed
and greater proportion of food al
lowed. The prices in the winter are
high because the chicks cost more
and are consequently scare and difficult
to procure.
In summer good price Is paid for
large chicks. Last year roasting
chicks of about two and a half to
three Pounds each sold at eighteen
cents abound as late as October, and

CUTTING OATS.

Oats should be cut for fodder at
about the same stage of growth that
other grasses are cut, which is when
in bloom or very soon after, writes a
correspondent. If cut too early the
fodder will be hard to cure, and if cut
after the kernels have attained much
size the fodder will be poorer, beside
being liable to much injury from rats
and mice in the NOV in winter. This
rule holds good for time of cutting
oats, barley, millet and wheat for fod-
der. Rye should be cut before it
blooms, as it becomes tough and I'M
palatable very rapidly after it reaches
the blooming stage. When the weather
is favorable have found it well to
let these coarse, heavy folders lie
day or SO to wilt after cutting before
putting in the tedder. It hardly pays
to handle green stuff of this kind till
part of the water has had time to dry
out. Never cut when the dew is on.

twenty cents is the usual price from
June to October. This means that
chick of such weight, if of good quail
ty when dressed, will bring fifty
cents, or dollar per pair. What the
cost may be depends upon circum-
stances. Under some conditions the
food should cost almost nothing. If
grnss, seeds and insects are abundant,
and the chicks can have access to a run
or field where they can assist them
selves after they are abandoned by the
hen that Matched them, the cost will
at least be at a minimum. Expert
ments have demonstrated that the
food required to produce a pound
of poultry meat should not ex-
coed five cents. In the summer sea-
son three cents will cover the cost of
the increase of each pound in weight.
If the chick reaches two and half
pounds weight the cost for food
should not exceed eight cents. Will
it not pay then to expend eight cents
to procure fifty cents? Granting that
the chick may sell for only ten cents
a pound, there is still large profit
IN proportion to food consumed.
Many farmers are frightened at the
low prices without considering the low
cost of food and the small amount of
labor required, and they cease hatch
ing chicks after warm weather sets in,
which is the very time they are in the
best condition for meeting success. 1t
will be worthy of an experiment this
summer to hatch large number for
the market.
Corn will make the hens lay in tho
winter, but is detrimental to laying in
the summer. A small allowance of
corn may do no harm, but when the
very warm days come it is too heat
ing. When hens are laying they are
capable ofutilizing food for producing
eggs, but when on the range they have
no difficulty in securing all they de-
sire. When hens are confined in yards
and fed on large ration Of corn daily
and are also exposed to high degree of
warmth, they are liable to die from
apoplexy or from overheating the
body. This is especially the case with
large breeds that are in a very fat con-
dition. Corn possesses but a very
small proportion of mineral SUBJ
stances, and is too stimulating as a
summer food. If the hens are kept
in enclosures it is better to feed them
lean meat and ground bone once a
day, with q plentiful supply of
chopped grass, especially of clover,
rather than grain. A mess of grain
may be given three times week, but
such a meal should be light, ground
grain being excellent. Scatter whole
grains, however, SO Us to induce the
hens to scratch. Mirror and Farmer.
