AGRICULTURE.
EVERT one who has grown aspara
gus either for home use or for market
mult have been more or less annoyed
by finding a portion of the shoots curl
ing over upon one side, and making
very little growth, and that little hard
and woody, and utterly worthless for
culinary Durposes. We have heard the
question asktd repeatedly, what makes
the shoots curl? but very few have
been able or willing to answer. The
subject has often been brought up in
agricultural conventions, without brin
ging out much information that has
proved satisfactory to the inexperi
enced. Now, from our own experience
and observation, as well as from con
versing with a lew of the most success
ful growers of this vegetable, we are
led tc conclude that crooked and curl
ed asparagus shoots are always pro
duced In consequence of some injury
to the shoot while It is pushiug up
through the soil. It may be caused by
raking the bed, or by digging it over
with forks, as is often practiced in the
spring ot the yoar. And it may be
done by carelessness while cutting the
shoots. The least cut, bruise or scratch
made up on the side of a shoot stops
growth on that side. There is an effort
to heal the wound, but so far as the
value of the shoot is concerned, it is
always a failure, if any one doubts
the truth, of this statement, he cau
easily satisfy himselt by simply caus
ing an injury to a growing shoot be
fore It gets above the surface. Much
care should be used both in digging and
raking over asparagus beds in spring,
and also when cutting lor the table.
There is nothing coming from the gar
den In May that is a greater luxury to
those who like It, than asparagus, and
It is well to know how best to handle
It.
To PREVENT SHBKP GETTING OVER
W ALLS. —A great many men who
have farms excellently adapted lor
keeping sheep, are deterred trom doing
so on account-o! their farms being fen
ced with stone walls, and sheep will
soon learn to get over any ordinary
stone fence. The cheapest and at the
same time the most effectual device lor
preventing this is one gotten up by a
neighbor of time. It consists in setting
posts against the wall, boring a hole
through these about 16 inches above
•the top of the wall and running a No.
11 wire through the hole. This should
be stretched very tight. If the first is
well fastened, this may be done with a
crowbar lor a long way, using the bar
tor a lever. The posts need uot to be
nearer to each other than four to six
rods, U the top of the wall is straight;
it it is not, they should be somewhat
nearer. This he had lound to be per
lectly satisfactory, so much so that a
neighbor's big dog tried to get over it
to the sheep once or twice and went
away periectly disgusted. A much
nearer and more durable plan, costing
but lutle more would be to insert smail
iron po6is into the cap stones at prop
er distances and benu the post so that
the wire will hang directly over the
lace ol the w all on the side on which
the sheep run. Either of these meth
ods costs so little that the profits ola
smail hock of sheep will more than pay
the expense in one season.
IF a farmer wants gcod horses of his
own raising, he must begin at the be
ginning, and not start —as too many do
—with an old, wind broken mare that
is blind m me eye and lame in two
legs, simply because she can be bought
for a little money. For breeding pur
poses, in nine cases out of ten, sucn an
animal is dear at any price. A good
thoroughbred stallion would get lrom
such a mare a colt lar better than the
earn, but her weaknessess and consti
tutional traits will sooner or later be
come apparent m the off-spring. "Like
begets like," is a well estabiisned law,
and a superior animal cannot come
from OL6 uecidedly Inferior. Only from
sound and vigorous mares can we hope
for a race ot healthy horses. Let ail
raisers of horses start in the right di
rection by breeding from the best on
both sides.
TAR FOR "WARTS.—A farmer writing
to an exchange, says: "I had a
mare some years ago that had a large
wart on her side, where the harness
rubbed and kept it sore. To prevent
this 1 put on a good daub of tar, and
in a few weeks the wart was killed
and disappeared. I have frequently
tried it since on cattle and horses, and
seldom had an occasion to use a sec
ond application. The remedy is sim
ple and effectual."
HINTS.— It is said that if sod land is
ploughed just before the corn is plan
ted, the worms will feed upon the scd
and not injure the corn. White flow
ers are generally more fragrant tban
colored ones. You may enlarge your
pinks by watering them with a weak
solution of nitre.
* An ingenious Frenchman has devised
a game lor facilitating the study of
geography by children. It consists of
a large planisphere map of the globe,
accoinpained by numerous objects re
presenting animals, plants, flags, cos
tamos, towns and landscapes. These
objects, of painted cardboard, stand up
right when the small inscription ac
companing them is folded back; and
each one bears, moreover, a number
corresponding to one on the map
Placing each in its proper position, tne
child quickly becomes lamtiiar with
subject illustrated ; if it be a plant, he
knows the place which produces it,
and its use ; is a town, he knows the
population, position, etc. The new
game has received the approval of the
Paris Society ol Geography.
To make caoutchouc indifferent to

with a mixture of 6 lbs. of prepared
chalk, 1 lb. of glycerine of 123 sp. gr.,

RKMKDY FOR LOCKJAW.— Let any one
who has an attack of lock-jaw take a
small quantity of turpentine, warm it
and pour it on the wound, no matter
where the wound is, and relief will
follow in les9 than a minute. Noth
ing better can be applied to a severe
cut or bruise than cold turpentine; It
will give certain relief almost instant
ly. Turpentine la also a sovereign
remedy for croup. Saturate a piece
of flannel on the throat and chest, and
in every severe case three or four
on a lump of sugar may bo
taken inwardly. Every family sUcu'.d
have a bottle on hand.
LIP-SALVE.— Au elegant Up salve
may be made in the following simple
manner: Put half a pound of fresh
lard Into a pan, with an ounce and a
half of white wax; set on a slow fire
till It is melted; then take a small tin
dish, fill it with water, and add a lew
chips of alkauet root; let the water
boil till it becomes of a beautiful red
oolor; strain some of it, and mix It
with the other ingredients according
as may be desired; scent It with some
agreeable and favorite extract, and
then pour into small white jars or
boxes.

it at one time will secure for you grata

improves with age, and is au article ut
