BLIND STAGGERS
Comfortable
Disease Dreaded by Horse
Owners Investigated by De-
partment of Agriculture.
CHANGE OF FEED REQUIRED

In the past years horses have died
by the thousands. disease affect
ing the nervous system, popularity
known as blind staggers, of forage
poisoning The department of agri-
culture has received urgent requests
for help against this disease from
sixteen different States, and as a re-
suit 1t is now publishing a bulletin
containing definite instructions for
combating this disease Among tho
States that appealed to the depart
ment of agriculture for assistance
was New Jersey.
Kansas and Nebraska bore the
brunt of the affiiction during the
past year, but other States have also
suffered seriously. Kansas has had
more than her share. Severe out
breaks extended over almost the en-
tire State I'm 1891, and since that
date have required with equal severi-
ty on two occasions in various por-
tions of the State.
The bulletin just issued takes no.

persons 1t il reported that in Me-
braska "blackleg vaccine was used
on ut least 1900 unaffected horses,
nearly 1900 of which are said to have
died as a direct result
Disease Can BE Controlled.
Investigators have practically es-
tablished that this horse disease can
be controlled effectively only by a
total change of feed and forage. II
Is quite obvious that there Is a direct
connection between the green forage,
exposed pasturage and newly-cut hay
or fodder which the horses eat, and
this cerebro-spinal meningitis, as the
disease is known to scientists. In fact
eating of such forage when contami-
mated is undoubtedly the most impor-
tant cause. Over 95 per cent. of cases
of this disease during the outbreak
of 1912 were maintained under such
conditions.
Great care must be taken that
horses do not obtain the dangerous
forage unknown to their owners. The
owner of one farm informed the de-
partment's investigator that his dead
horses had eaten nothing but old hay
and grain.

Location of Peach orchard.


Where should a peach orchard be
located, on high or low land?
Morristown. e. B.
Prof. Blake, of the New Jersey State
Experiment station, speaking of the
location of the peach orchard, says:
I'm the northern counties of New Jer-
sey a peach crop is most certain at
elevations above 500 feet. This fact
was very clearly demonstrated in
1912. There was practically no fruit
in Northern New Jersey upon orch
ards that were below 600 feet eleva-
ton, while at elevations from 600 to
800 feet there were good to heavy
crops. This condition occurred gem
orally regardless of variety or sys-
tenn of orchard management and from
what / was able to learn the same
condition prevailed in Pennsylvania
and Connecticut Southern New Jer-
sey was an exception"

Fertilizer for Asparagus.

What is the best fertilizer for
asparagus? Please give me some d.
rections for It's culture. II. p. b.
Harrison.
Asparagus Is a heavy feeder and
needs plenty of available plant-food.
The roots are weakened by the con-
tinuous cutting of the shoots and
need plenty of nourishment to recover
properly. Barnyard manure Is the
most common fertilizer. On COM
mercial beds this is usually applied
after the crop is harvested, and again
in the fall after the plants have been
removed and the ground disked or
narrowed. Barnyard manure is not
a complete fertilizer. Market garden
ers use some commercial fertilizer in
addition. Some gardeners in locali-
ties where the manure is not easily
produced, do not use manure at all,
as it has been found that manure is
not essential, though it keeps the
soil porous, insuring straight, market
able shoots. AS a complete fertilizer,
the North Carolina experiment sta
ton recommends the following: $50
pounds nitrate of soda, 400 pounds
acid phosphate, 100 pounds muriate
of potash This need not all be APP
piled at one time. A part Of this
amount is usually put on the field
early in the spring and the remainder
during the growing season The es-
sential feature in successful aspara-
gus growing is having an abundance
of quickly available plant-food,
which will insure quick and vigor-
Gus growth. Salt is not fertilizer.
It adds nothing to the crop and is,
to a large extent wasted money when
applied 10 the bed. II is said to help
in liberating plant-food. and in that
respect might add something to the
bed. hut not enough to pay for the
