THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
We Want to Know, You Know — Continued. 
Salt Spoils tub Soil.—A ij lining mv farm a Arm 
makes solar salt, and the brine Is sDoUtng my land. 
I have requested them to make ditcaes, or do some¬ 
thing about tt, but can get no answer from them. 
Can I atop them or make them pay for raining mr 
land? T. o. T. 
Saslnaw, Mich. 
Ans —Certainly. They have no r'gbt to Injure 
you In anv wav. All that Is necessary for yon to do 
Is to prove the actual damages sustained, and a jury 
which wouldn't award von these, should be sent to 
an asTlum for the feeble minded. You probably 
can’t stop their mauufactuTing, but you can compel 
them to pay the damages you have sustained. 
Markets for Capons.— Books on caponlzlng 
state that there Is more or less demand for capons 
the year 'round, and part'es have told me that they 
could nrocure capon at the city hotels almost any 
time they called for it. But I have never succeeded 
In finding a market through commission merchants 
until about the middle of January. Are there special 
dealers? T. 
Ans.—S ome books on caponlzlng, and circulars of 
dealers In caponlzlng Instruments, make assertions 
that are not sustained bv facts. There Is a very lim¬ 
ited demand for capons the year 'round, but most of 
the sales are made from the last of January to Anrll 
or May, and the best prices are realized then. There 
are no special dealers; ail handlers of poultry sell 
capons In their season. Capons do not bring the ex¬ 
orbitant prices sometimes claimed, and prices are 
now low together with other poultry. They will 
probably be higher a month cr two later. 
Raspberry AND Asparagus.— I want some in¬ 
formation about the raspberry Illustrated In The R. 
N.-V. of February 2j. 1893. A'so about the Colum¬ 
bian Mammoth White asparagus described In the 
same issue. Where may they be obtained, and what 
Is the price? d. .m. a. 
Ans—T he Superlative raspberry may be had of 
Kllwanger & Barrv, Rochester. N Y. We do not 
know the price. Write to them for catalogue and 
prices. Tne asparagus may be obtained of D. M. 
Ferry & Co , Detroit, Mich. Write for their cata¬ 
logue. 
Pquashes forCattle —a U. N.-7. correspondent 
recommends feeding aquashea to stock In place of 
tnrnlps. What variety would give the best aatls- 
factlon ? D H. w. 
ANS —tTubbards are probably the best. Tne only 
objec'.ton Is their hard shells which would necessi¬ 
tate their being well onopped or broken np.
