SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 1.-United States
Senator George c. Perkins left for Wash

dressing is to be applied, would obviate
the necessity OF frequent working, and
of chopplng, or moving down the bushes
and would destroy all the seed without
causing any injury to the deeply buried
roots. Subsequent cultivation consists
in keeping down weeds by stirring the
soil with cultivator and hoes, and in the
annual installment of fertilizers, alter
mating each year with different kind.
The natural habitat Of asparagus being
the sea coast, 1t is benefited by applica-
tions Of common salt, which may be
used with advantage in sufficient guam
tity to destroy weeds, say from six hun
dred to eight hundred pounds to the
acre, particularly if the crop is dis
lance from the sea shore. The burning

the crop with other salts Of sea water

Banking Onions.

A correspondent Of Farm and Fireside
writes:
In accordance with an old, time-hon-
ored custom, most Of the onion growers,
in wedding, scraped the soil away from
the plants, leaving the bulbs almost
fully exposed on the surface of the
ground. Some time ago a Michigan
gardener, who raises onions on very
large scale, told me that he practices
different method altogether, and this
with generally satisfactory results.
After the onion plants get some size, he
throws some soil against them from both
sides with Planet Jr., or similar wheel
hoe, straddling the row. He does this
while the weeds in the rows are yet
small enough so that they can be ohoked
out by the soil covering. Ny Michigan
friend claims that much labor in weed
ing is saved by this plan, and the onions
do just as well as if left exposed above
the ground If we can hill with wheel
hoe, and thus kill the weeds, it is surely
a quicker way than to go over the rows,
scraping the soil away with a hand
weeder. I don't believe that it will
make much difference in the growth of
the onion whether we scrape the soil
away or pile it up against the plants,

life of the plant, remaining at about the

can be placed, due regard being had to

growth, the better as the crowns will be

and with the idea of preventing the too
deep growth of the roots has been aban-
doned. One might as we'll expect to
see stalks of corn grow thirteen feet
high, and thick in proportion, when the
grain is sown broadcast for fodder, as to

SETTING OUT THE PLANTS.
The plants should be carefully lifted
from the seed bed with digging fork
without bruising the roots. These if
very long and irregular in length, may
be shortened back little.
The distance IN the row being marked
off at from two to two and half feet or
even three feet, plant is dropped at
each place, and the planter, following,
holds the plant at the proper depth, say
six inches, against the land side, or cut,
with the roots spread out from the
crown, in fan-shaped manner, and,
with single sweep of the left hand,
fixes it in position with loose soil from
the top Of the furrow. The subsequent
filing in may be done with the plow;
but the hoe is to be preferred, as the
depth can be more exactly adjusted,
and there is less danger of an accidental
disturbance of the plant. For safety,
until growth commences, the crowns
should not be covered the entire depth,
but only two or three inches; when the
shoots have grown several inches high,
the covering may be completed, and
this will serve as working of the ground
and destroy weeds.

CULTIVATION.

Its vigorous growth enaOleSslt to over
top grass, and to hold it's own against
weeds, asparagus will withstand as
much neglect as any other vegetable;
but it will respond to generous treat
ment The expense of it's first planting,
and it's care, until it commences to make
return two or three years later, are too
great to admit of neglect. If the plan.
tation has been properly made and prop
erly tended, its rank and luxuriant
rows in the third year and smother most
weeds during the summer. The crop
should be cultivated and hoed as often
as necessary to subdue grass and weeds.
Asparagus produces seed the second
year. AS soon, therefore, as the stalks
commence to die in the fall, they should
be chopped down and burned to prevent
so far as possible, the growth of young
seedlings among the crop, which are not
readily eradicated, and are really weeds.
1t is useless to apply manure when the
plant is at rest in the fall and winter,
but just prior to the commencement of
growth, make an application of half
ton to the acre of Peruvian guano, bone
flour, or ground fish guano, mixed with
muck, wood earth, or garden soil, and
thoroughly harrow it in. If stable man
ure is used, 1t should remain upon the
surface. The material being at hand,
mulch thick enough and close enough to
prevent the growth of weeds and grass,
