ASPARAGUS CULTURE.
A Vegetable which Endures Neglect and
Highly Rewards Good Care.

Highly Rewards Good Care.
Asparagus is one of our Oldest and
most reliable of vegetables, growing
modestly but persistently among grass
and weeds, enduring the neglect which
falls to its share in the majority OF gar
dens with patience and faithful re-
ward that is unmatched in all the vege-
table kingdom Many cooks have like
wise fallen into the habit Of negleoting
its toothsome possibilities and serving
it in only one or two ways at most,
when little study of the modes of pro-
fessional cooks would reveal score or
more Of different servings that would
make its daily appearance lin season.
upon the table series of epicurean de-
lights.
In its cultivation there is no vegeta-
BILE which yields larger return for a
small outlay of labor and space than
asparagus. To be sure, it requires some
time to start it, but after bed is once
established it will yield crop every
year, the more abundant if given an
animal dressing of fertilizer.
The plants may be purchased at a
nursery or city seed store, or an ounce
of seed may be sown in drills in May.
termination may be FASTENED by week
if the seeds are soaked in tepid water
two or three days before plan ting.
When the plants first make their APP
pearance, they resemble young ever
green's They should be we'll cultivated
during the summer, and the next spring
they will be ready to transplant into a
bed. The ground should be made very
rich and either plowed or spaded deep
ly. Upon lifting the little plants they
should be immersed in pail Of water
and the roots watered slightly when set
out, Have burrows or trenches at least
six inches deep to receive the plants.
The trenches should be four feet apart
and the plants set IS inches apart in the
row. Cover we'll and mulch with straw
manure or bone dust, and the work of
making an asparagus bed is finished.
A little salt sprinkled on the bed in
the spring is beneficial, or throw the
old brine from the pork barrel upon it.
This also serves to exterminate the
grass. 1t is best not to remove the tops
in the fall, as they catch and hold the
snow thus protecting the roots and sup
plying needed moisture. But remove
them early in the spring and fork in a
thick top dressing. One should not ex-
pect to cut any shoots in the first year,
and only a few the second, but after
that the bed will yield an abundance
for family use or several dollars worth
if marketed, writes a correspondent in
the Ohio Farmer.

Peas and Data.

Canada peas and oats are frequently
sown together for hay, but cowpeas and
oats never. 1t would be perfectly i'm
practicable to do so. These southern
peas are really very tender bean and
should not be sown till the ground is
hot in June. Then, if the oats are sown
afterward, the result would be no oats
at all, for the cowpeas would simply
smother whatever weak growth they
would make at that time. We are SO
often asked about sowing cowpeas and
oats together by those who have heard
of peas and oats for forage that we want
to call attention to this fact. We have
grown a great many acres Of cowpeas
and have seen many thousands of acres
growing and have never yet seen cow
peas and oats mixed, though we have
grown the Canada field peas and oats
successfully mixed, both being hardy
plants that can be sown at the same
time. If the cowpeas are sown at the
time when the oats would thrive, they
would simply rot in the ground, and if
sown when they should be there would,
as ! have said, not be the slightest
chance for the oats sown after them.
There is no hay easier to cure than
that of the cowpea, if properly done, by
partly curing in the windrow and cock
for day, and then putting in tight
NOW and keeping shut up tight till the
curing is completed. This method of
curing by storing when still green and
limp is becoming more and more COM
mon in the south. and it saves all the
leaves in the best manner, if the farmer
does not get scared when the mass
heats, for heat they will very hot, but
if let alone they will cure perfectly,
while if turned to cool they will mold
badly. Sow Canada peas and oats to-
gether, but do not waste time trying to
get hot weather plant and cool
weather plant TO grow together, for they
will not do it, writes w. f. Massey in
Country Gentleman.

He Richly Deserved It.
Several men gathered about horse
near the western market commenting
upon the prominence of the beast q
ribs and general lankiness. The ami
NAL belonged to farmer living near
Ypsilanti, and, it was said. never per-
mitted grass to grow under its feet on
the road. The farmer was not pleased
with the remarks and the strong in
ferences that the poor thing had never
realized the sensation of corn and oats
"What do you call your horse?" was
asked.
Cyclone, and don't he look it?" re-
piled the man from the rural districts.
sCyclonel What namel He certain
ly looks as if one had struck him. !"
That's what happened to him, my
friend. 1t was just like this. You re-
member the awful breeze we had out to
Ypsilanti about three years ago? This
Teller was sucking colt at the time
and was in the barn with two horses
The cyclone, regular old hummer, came
along and thrashed the barn off its legs
and dropped it nigh on to 100 yards
away. After the twister had raised all
the hob, fences aud sheds it could we
went out to look things up. The two
horses were stone dead and the colt
would yor believe it?--was nowhere to
be found.
Next day / turned over the hem
coop, which lay in the field half a mile
away. Right in that coop and laying
on the door which faced down was the
colt. He commenced kicking when he
heard us, and we took him out in a
hurry He wasn't scared bit, tell
you, and was cool as cucumber. The
neighbors say they saw the coop goin
through the air and the colt after it.
The little Teller caught the coop and
got inside of it to save himself that's
what he did. That's the plain truth,
and if you don't believe it ask the colt.
