scouRs IN HORSES.

In nine cases out of ten the cause
of scours in horses is due to improper
feeding, and while the trouble is a
bad one to deal with at any time, it is
especially bad at a season when con-
siderable hard work is expected of the
horse Some horses are given to
securing easily, and when such is
the case, care must be used not to
furnish much feed that is laxative in
character. and also to feed more
largely of concentrated foods than
of roughage.
A horse that scours and is doing a
hard days work should have whole
oats mixed with small quantity Of
bran as the main grain food, and
the morning food should be whole

hour, then what water he wants with

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Playe
When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers APP
peared. after eight months investiga-
ton. it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three months
Of publicity 1t is significant that those
who attempted to discredit it have
failed to controvert the figures con.
tanned in that exhaustive document
The public is beginning TO notice this
omission, and the feeling is rapidly
growing that the scnsa tionai charges
out of which the Beef Investigation"
arose We're without foundation. If the
official statements of the report are
susceptible of contradiction, good
many people are now asking why the
facts and figures are not furnished TO
contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most OF
the charges contain unfounded sensa.
tlonal assertions. A fragrant example
Of this appeared In recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect that
forty Iowa banks were forced to close
their doors in 1904 by the Beef
Trusts manipulation Of cattle prices"
Chief Clerk Cox, of the banking de.
partment Of the Iowa State Auditors
office, has tabulated the list of banks
given In the magazine article and has
publicly denounced the statement as
utterly untrue. He gives separately
the reasons for each failure mentioned
and officially states that they have
been caused by unwise speculations and
by reckless banking methods. 1t may
be well to suspend judgment upon the
packers until the charges against them
are proved.

ASPARAGUS CULTURE.

The following is part OF a paper
read by Edward Y. Teas, of Center
vile, at recent meeting of the
Wayne County Horticultural Society:
consider asparagus the most de-
ncious product of the garden. as we'll
as the most healthful, least under
stood and most neglected.
My first attempt to make an aspar-
agus bed was more than fifty years
ago; to be exact, in 1858. We dug a
trench three feet deep. In the bot
tom of this we laid boulders about
foot deep and then filed in with soil
and manure and In this planted the
roots. In spite of this labor and ex-
pense, we had in due season aspara-
gus for our table. In later year
have planted asparagus seeds to
raise plants In the nursery for the
general nursery trade, and l find
plants that are grown by planting the
seed, like you would beets or beans,
yield quite cutting Of young shoots
the second year from seed, and there
after, good enough for all practical
purposes. If the plants do not stand
too thick in the row the yield will be
satisfactory for twenty years or more.
Rich soil is essential to the produc-
tdon of fancy stem, and that the
plant should be a reaonable distance
apart for the proper development Of
each. If were making permanent
bed in the family garden. would
have the rows two feet apart and the
plants one foot apart in the row, set
ting the crown of the plant about
three inches deep. Cultivate the same
as you would other garden stuff the
first year. In November remove all
the tops and cover the bed with an
inch OF two OF stable manure, this
to be lightly forked under the follow
ing spring. After this, little cult
walton is required. only to destroy
the weeds as they appear. An &C.
casional mulch of manure is desira-
BILE, but not every year.
Mr. Conover, an enterprising gar
dener of Long Island, planted field
to asparagus some years ago, setting
the plants four feet apart each way,
cultivating with horse. The result
was that he astonished New York
markets with shoots. CT grass as 1t is
termed, of such extraordinary size as
to command fabulous prices. Mr..
Conover sold the seed and roots from
his famous garden at Conover's Co
lossal, and this for lozen years was
beading variety. Since that time,
others have obtained shoots of extra
size by careful CULTIVATION. and now
we have Palmetto, Bars Mammoth,
and Columbian White Mammoth the
latter of decidedly light shade OF
green All these are good, the size
depending largely on sol. AMI cult
walton.
would not advise any cutting the
first year. Some may be taken of
the second year. In cutting over
bed or row l aim to cut every stalk.
thinning out the inferior ones so the
bed is smooth and clean as far as
go. We usually begin cutting the
last of April, and continue until the
middle of July. This allows the
plants to make considerable growth
the latter part of the summer. and
recuperate SO as TO be ready for the
next springs work.
Our first cutting of asparagus this
year was on April 4th. and We expect
TO have supply for at least four
months, from our rows of two year
old plants.-Indiana Farmer.
