TO MAKE AN ASPARAGUS BED.
The first and most important fea
ture in a good permanent asparagus
bed is having a piece of good soil,
naturally well drained and handy to
the house. It should be the best
spot in the garden.
Make your soil as rich as you can
with thoroughly rotten manure, and
set out three-year-old plants so *ho x

method, declared a
pondent. And when .
mean what the term “gaxieii bed”
implies—that is, a rich, deep soil,
full of humus as well as fresh organic
matter, in a dry and sunny place and
have the rows to run east and west.
If you plant three-year-old roots
you can cut some asparagus the next
season if you are in a hurry, but it is
better not to. Enough space must be
left between the rows to cultivate
and walk in when cutting the roots
in the spring.
But I would not stop at merely
making a bed or two. If you have
some rich along fence rows where
there is space enough for something
to grow, scatter some seed and the
chances are that in a few years you
will be getting as much asparagus
from these out of the way places as
from the beds you cultivate and pay
special attention to. And another
point, when you are planting aspara
gus if you are near a good town it
may be well to plant for a great deal
more than the family needs. No other
vegetable is more salable.
If there are any more who feel
the need of more imformation they
can get bulletins on the subject from
their state experiment station or the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington.
As to those who already have as
paragus beds, I will say that it will
be well worth while to put on them
a good thick coat of good barnyard
manure free from weed seed. It is
better to do it in the fall or winter.

We glean the following hints from
an exchange, though many of them
were used by us years ago:
Fried sausage may be saved by
forming it into medium sized cakes,
and frying it brown and until
thoroughly done. Place the cakes
in jars or tins, packing as closely as
possible until within a half an inch
of the top; cover with boiling grease,
and close tightly. If glass jars are
used, the jars must be heated slowly
until they are hot as the grease be
fore it is poured in or they will be
broken. Quart tins or half gallon
molasses buckets with tight lids are
the best vessels to use.
Side meat or ham may be saved
in the same way. Cut in slices as
for the table, fry brown on both
sides, seasoning with salt and pepper,
as if intended for immediate use.
Put in cans or buckets, cover with
hot grease, and close tightly.
To save ribs, cut in pieces as for
tagle use, fry done in boiling lard,
season and pack in tight vessels,
covering with hot lard, and close
tightly, as before.
Where many hogs are killed the
tongues are an item. To save them,
immerse the tongues in boiling wat
er. Remove the skins when loosen
ed, and cook until they tender.
This may be done with the heads or
feet. Alow the tongues to remain
in the broth until cool, then place in
a crock, cover tightly and weight
down. Serve in thin slices. Tongues
thus treated will not keep so long
as the other meats mentioned.
To cook pig feet, clean the feet
thoroughly by soaking, scalding and
scraping Then let remain
weak for a day. Boil until the
bo r /w easily from the flesh,

Stir constantly to keep from scorch

done pour out into deep earthen dish
es. Sliced and fried brown, it makes
a nice dish for breakfast, or for any
other meal.
To make head cheese, cut into
pieces, clean and cook the heads un
til the meat falls from the bones;
as soon as cool, remove all the bones,
and run the meat through a
meat chopper, season with salt
and pepper, sage and the strained
broth in which the heads were cook
ed. Then place in a stone or earth
en vessel, and weight down, pressing
with considerable weight, being sure
that the grease rises and covers the
meat. Slice and serve cold. Pigs
feet may be cooked and mixed with
the head meat, but great care must
be exercised in removing the bones.
