We solicit articles for this The nuxno of the writer should accompany the letter or article,, not necessarily for pub lication, hot as au evidence of good faith. Asparagus. As it general thing as good asparagus is grown in a warm climate as in a cold one. Where great care is taken with it, however, excellent asparagus is grown in the South. Mr. John Nicholson, of Ridge Springs, S. C., furnishes some interesting facts rela tive to his way of cultivating it. He says: “I selected an acre of gpod light land; would yield, perhaps, 600 lbs. of seed cotton with ordinary seasons. 1 had it well broken up, and then laid off my rows four feet and checked it the same distance, so as to have mv plants stand 4 by 4 feet. I believe in giving distance, though 3 by 3 might do as well. At each check I dug a hole 13 or 15 inches deep, and in it deposited well-rotted manure (that from cow lot is preferable) and rich earth to within 4 or 5 inches of the top. I then planted my roots, being careful to spread them evenly around the crown. I then covered them two inches deep. In the spring, when the stocks began to appear - , I threw a shovel or two more of manure? in the holes and leveled them. I was careful not to cover up stocks, as they came up very slender. The cultivation afterwards was with a sweep and very little hoeing was necessary, as I could plow it both ways; consequently the cultivation was very easy. I could only get roots for one-sixth of my acre. I planted the seed and the next spring finished. Thrifty plants of one year's growth, I think, are far the test. Asparagus should be heavily manured every fall, and har rowed or lightly plowed in the spring. I am trying kainit and dissolved bones this spring. Asparagus should be cut early in the morning, not later than 10 o’clock. The bunches should be of uniform size and weight, packed in moss, in an open crate. Asparagus is an easy crop to raise. The old plan of arranging asparagus beds by digging them out two or three feet deep and lining the bottom and sides with rock and planks, and filling with manure, may do for the garden, but it is too expensive. Expe rience shows that it may be raised much easier in checks and cultivated with the plow. Asparagus is a certain crop and if it has any enemies I have not discovered them yet. And in conclusion, will say it is the most profitable crop we can grow. From one-sixth of an acre (which is four years old) I have netted S6O, and have three crates yet to hear from. Sort Fruit and Vegetables. The farmer and fruit grower makes a great mistake in sending his fruit and vege tables to market without being carefully sorted. There is always a good demand for an article of the first quality, when the samo article if of poor quality is a drag on the market. The Philadelphia Record , on this subject, says that some seasons the mar ket is said to be overstocked with fruit, but there is always a demand for the best. Strawberries have brought 30c. per quart when inferior berries went begging at only 2c. per quart. There are but few growers who take the precaution to assort and grade the fruit, but from the strawberry in early summer to the late apples, yet it would pay them to do so. In the height of an over stocked market the careful assortment of the fruit would change a loss to a profit. If the price of inferior strawberries be placed as low as 2c per quart the value of a bushel would be only 64c.; but if four quarts of selected berries lie sold at 10c. per quart and the other twenty-eight quarts bring only 3c. per quart, the value of the bushel will be increased to 96c., or 50 per cent, more thali if the bellies were unassorted. There is also another way of looking at the matter. Sup posing that among the thirty-two quarts of berries there were twenty-eight quarts of choice fruit and four quarts of inferior ber ries, the four quarts would probably reduce the price of the whole at least 2c. per quart, ft would, therefore, pay to take out the in ferior berries and sell them separately, or even throw them away, rather than to per mit them to remain with the others. The labor of assorting,berries is not as great as that of picking them, and, if necessary, they can be assorted when picked. The apples, peaches, pears, grapes and blackberries can be easily assorted when picked. Fruit growers must consider that whether they assort their fruit or not the commission men will grade it when it reaches the market. They usually grade it by taking the inferior fruit as a standard, and the difference be tween good and inferior fruit is very wide, not gradual. Fruit is either first-class in appearance, quality and condition, or it must take its chances with the inferior. If the demand be greater than the supply the inferior fruit will bring a better price, hut it is safe to assert that the market for strictly choice fruit is novel - overstocked, while the prices obtained are always satis factory. Sources of the Potato. Mr. William T. Scruggs, in the Southern Cultivator for June, gives some interesting points relative to the Irish potato. The lute ITof. Orton says tb <v so-called ‘'lrish'’ potato * a nativo of the Andes mountains. His statement is not original. It was made by the early Spanish explorers and missionaries early in the sixteenth century. The gene rally accepted thoory is that the potato was introduced into Spain by tho Spaniards from the neighborhood of Quito, and that from Spain it soon spread into the Nether hnds, .Burgundy mid Italy. How it got mto North America is not known, but it is generally supposed to have lieen introduced V the Spaniards soon after the conquest of Mexico; for, so far as I know.it has never wen claimed that it* was found in a wild rtnte north of the Isthmus of Panama. It introduced into Ireland for the first time hi 1565, from Virginia, by Sir John Hawkins, a slave trader; and in confirms - fi'm of the theory that it is indigenous to Hie Aildean districts of South America, I may state that I have myself seen it grow mg wild iu various parts of the interior of Colombia. And yet the “Irish" potato has been used ns a:i article of food in China from time immemorial. You see it everywhere from m .ton to Pekin, and from Shanghai to the ni" t western limits of the vast empire; and never saw a Cinnamon who would admit ‘‘f it had not originated in his own coun- P In fact, 1 have been assured, by some ■‘suit missionaries who penetrated to the . a ! ‘"frtior of tho mountain districts, that ■ '‘Sometimesseen in a wild state near the *!{■*** of southern Thibet. ' hy should It not have been indigenous ’“fh continents J The same conditions of ■mate and soil that would produce it in the of tropical and sub-tropical nerica wnH, *R would seem, produco ft Aria; and it is probable that the peoplca of both continents used it os an article of food ages before they were aware of each other's existence. Next to rice, it is to-day the chief article of food in China and Japan, and in many parts of Asia it is as much re lied upon by the common peopie as it is in Ireland or iu Ecuador. Save Fertilizing; Materials. The Morning News has frequently called attention to the importance of saving all materials about a farm which will mako fertilizers. The Farm, Field and Stockman says that the farmer often wastes in con signing to the roadside or other unavailable places large amounts of fertilizing material. Among these are bones, wood ashes, coal ashes (valuable principally as a divisor on compact soil), kitchen slop, the contents of' the privy, and especially the ammoniaeal waste of nitrogen in all animal waste on the farm should be carefully saved. The man who mixes lime with his green manure sets the nitrogen free as ammonia. Nitrogen, however, in connection with gypsum forms a sulphate, and is fixed until it is wanted for the use of plant life. So if ashes be used the nitrogen is changed into nitrate of pot ash, simply* saltpetre. This again, through chemical change in tho soil, is available as plant food. We have heretofore shown how in crushed bones, which contain both nitric and phos phatic constituents when crashed and laid up with ashes in the form of a leach, the phosphates are fixed, and the nitrogen, of course, and all are available as plant food. Treated in this way bones have a more pow erful immediate effect than raw bones crushed. Nevertheless crashed bones ap plied to the soil give up all their valuable constituents, but .gradually, yet more and more quickly in proportion to the fineness of the grinding. If wood ashes ore to be applied to the soil they should bo kept dry until used, and for the reason that their con stituents are readily soluble in water; and no substance, until it is taken up by moist ure, is available as plant food. The proper application, therefore, 'of ashes, whether leached or unleached, is on the surface. The same is true of air-slaked lime. But it is better that these be harrowed in. Both ashes and lime have the effect to consolidate light, fluffy soils, and also to render more open heavy soils. Tasting Eggs. Even though you do not use an incubator, says the Prairie Farmer, you will find it quite an advantage to test the eggs on the fourth or fifth day of incubation, for sitting hens are sometimes scarce when wanted most, and by testing the eggs and throwing out those that will not hatch you can make room for more eggs. When three or four hens have been set at the same time, all the fertile eggs can be given to two or three of the hens, and the others can be given a fresh lot of eggs. And even when sitting hens are plenty, it is well to throw out the unfer tile eggs; it leaves more room in the nest for those that remain. Testing eggs is a very simple matter; all you have to do is to hoid the eggs, one at a time, between your eye and a strong light, and determine by the appearance inside whether it contains a living embryo, a dead one or is “barren”— i. e., never been fertilized. Eggs that con tain a living embryo will show a small dark spot will small red veins spreading out from it. These veins will appear distinct, as you turn the egg over between your thumb and fore-finger; tho dark spot will slowly turn and rise to the spot. When the embryo is dead the veins will usually appear broken or indistinct, or “cloudy,” and sometimes the dark spot will be found adhering to the shell. Barren eggs will look clear like a fresh egg. About the egg tester, you can buy one for 35 or 30c., or you can make one that will do just as well. Get a box large enough to hold a small kerosene lamp; cut a bole in the top, then another about the size of an egg in one side, just where it will come op posite the flame when the lamp is lighted. Hinge the opposite side so it be used as a door; or if that is too much “bother” throw a dark cloth over that side after your lamp is in the box. Set the lamp in so that the hole in the top will be exactly over tho top of the chimney, then there will be no smok ing—unless you get the cloth over the hole in the top. Partly darken the room and hold the eggs between the hole in the side of the box and your eye. Household. Codfish Balls.—Take equal quantities of mashed potatoes and boiled codfish minced fine; to each half pound allow an ounce of butter and a well-beaten egg; mix thoroughly. Press into balls between two spoons; drop into hot lard and fry till brown. Bachelor's Pudding.— Beat up three eggs, flavor with essence of lemon and grated nutmeg, and add them to four ounces each of finely-minced apples, currants, grated bread-crumbs and two ounces of sugar; mix thoroughly and boil in a but tered mold nearly three hourß. Servo with wine sauce. Whipped Coffee Cream.—Sweeten one pint of rich cream rather liberally; roast two ounces of coffee beans; when they are lightly browned throw them into the cream at once, and let the dish stand one hour be fore using; strain and whip the cream to a firm froth. A teaspoonful of powdered gum arable dissolved in a little orange flower water may l>e added to give the cream more firmness, if desired. Wine Sauce.—Boil the thin rind of half a lemon iu one wineglassful of water till the flavor is extracted; then take it out and thicken the sauce by stirring into it one mltspoonful of rice flour or arrowroot which has been mixed in water or milk, a table spoonful of butter; boil a moment, then add half a tumblerful of good wine; let the sauce get quite hot without 1 veiling, sweeten to taste and serve with boiled pudding. Portuguese Cake.—Break eight fresh eggs into a Latin and iveat them t£ well; add one half pound of sugar and a wine glass of rosewater; beat these together for some minutes, then mix in gradually one half pound of dried and sifted flour an i one-half pound of butter melted to oil; when these ingredients have been thoroughly worked together butter a tin, sift a little sugar over It, pour itf tho mixture ami bake in a slow oven. Zephtr Cakes.—Excellent tea cakes. Wash the salt out of nearly a quarter of a pound of butter; add to it a quarter of a pound of ]v>wdered sugar and three well beaten eggs, a teaspoonful of rose water and sifted flour enough to make a thin baiter; stir till tho batter is fterfectly smooth mid so light that it will break when it falls against tiie sides of the mixing bowl; fill well-but tered muffin-molds (small) nearly half full with the mixture and bake in a quick oven; servo hot with newly-made butter. Roast Sweetbreads.—Soak tho sweet breads in cold water to draw out the blood then boll them twenty minutes in one-third milk and two-thirds water. Take them up and put them in some place where they will cool quickly. When thoroughly cold, slice them and dip the slices in Vieaten egg and bread-crumbs till they ore entirely covered, then put a lump of butter in a saucepan or a small pan used for baking. When it is melted lay the slices in, put a little lump of butter on each slice, cover with a plate, or, better sliU, with a Uu.eov#r mode expresriy to fit ovrr the baking-pan. Let them halo! from one-half to three quarter* of an hour! Serve on toaat. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MAY 30. 1687. Farm Notes. When a contagious disease breaks out in a flock of fowls it is better to destroy them all rather than have the disease get “root ed” or. the farm, as the germs incv remain for years. In atiswer tc the question: “Why does churning make butter?" the Scientific American says: Agitating the milk causes the rupture of the coating of the butter ? (lobules contained in the milk, and their atty contents then collect together. The pure Dalmatian insect powder is claimed to be superior to the btjhach of California, but the only difference is that they are grown in separate sections, and so far as their value as insecticides is con cerned either may by used in place of the other. The hot-bed plants should be carefully watched, and if they begin to run up long and slender you may know that they are either too warm or too much crowded in the bed, or it may be that both these conditions tend to make them assume this very undesir able form. ■While we arc disputing in this conn try as to the relative merits of eottou-seod'and linseed meal the English farmers ores ending here for all the cotton-seed meal they can get, and are willing to pay good prices for it. Our farmers should take the hint and use more of both articles. An acre of carrots ean lie mode to yield over 500 bushels, though the labor would be quite nu item in the beginning. Turnips are grown iu preference to carrots because they germinate from the seed sooner and arc not so easily overran with grass and weeds, but the carrots are far more valuable as food for all classes of stock. Will it pay to grow black walnuts and then “wait?" A black walnut tree in Michi gan lately sold for $215. No doubt if the young trees were planted in rows forty feet apart each way and cultivated they would be valuable as a special crop, as twenty-five trees could thus bo grown on one acre. Though late, the returns would be sure and unused land could be profitably devoted to them. Dairy butter will always sell than that made at the creameries, provided it be of first quality. Creamery butter is usually more uniform, but as dairy butter is made by thousands of different persons it is not easy to secure large quantities of the samo grade. There are a few dairies which sell butter at $1 per pound, even when prices are low; but such butter is made under the most favorable conditions only*. The Pittsburg Stockman calls attention to churning by stating that if the cream be made too warm the 'globules will burst and tho oil mingle with the water in the cream and rise to the top. Such cream will come to butter very* slowly, if it come at all. Boiling water is too hot to use in the cream; 66” is as warm as the cream should be made, as the butter will be white and soft. Koep the cream as near 60* as possible while wait (ing for the churn. The Live Stock Journal says that it would be as reasonable to expect good bread from flour made of damaged gram as pure milk from cows with rations of food tainted by age or soured through exposure to heat and moisture. The putridity contained in de caying food enters and poisons the blood, and it is from the blood that the milk is ex tracted in the udder. Let no man flatter himself that the digestive organs can separ ate the putridity, casting it aside; on the other hand, the damaged material goes wher ever the blood goes—to the lungs, liver, kid neys and udder, and in the latter enters the milk. Locust, white or yellow, should be soaked in warm water at the time for corn-paint ing for twelve hours, and the seed then placed between folds of damp cloths kept warm until the first signs of germination do discovered, and then sow in sows, rather thickly, the rows tlu-eo feet apart for ease in cultivation. Keep clean, and the seed lings may be planted next year where they are to [stand. Catalpa seed may be sown rather more thinly, but need not be soaked. They may be transplanted as directed for locust, if for a grove 4x4 feet apart, thinning alternate rows and after ward alternate trees in the row, as necessity may dictate. Popular Science. Experiments made in Germany prove that beets and other vegetables grown in rows running north and south contain more saccharine matter than those radsed in rows running east and west. It is generally conceded that steel shrinks slightly iu hardening. Iron does not ma terially change in size, but goes out of shape somewhat, owing to its imperfect homo geneity. No one has ever satisfactorily ex plained why steel shrinks in hardening. Dr. Brown-Sequard, the celebrated physi ologist, says he has discovered that the mo ment the skin of the neck is cut all sensi bility disappears, and that tho best means of resuscitating persons asphyxiated by smoke, coal-gas or water is to apply galvanism to the skin of the neck—a method he has suc cessfully employed. The variable star Algol is so infinitely distant from the earth that it takes thirty years for its light to reach us. So we see it as it was thirty years ago, not as it is to day. AVhcn one of its obscurations occurs, therefore, the one that is visible to us oc curred a generation ago, and about 4,000 such obscurations have taken place and start ed on their way higher since the one we see happened. The Boston Journal of Commerce gives the following for a clear shellac solution: Prepare first au alcholic solution of shellac in the usual way: a little benzole is theu ad dsci and the mixture well shaken. In the course of from twenty-four to forty-eight horn's the fluid will have separated into two distinct layers, an upper alcoholic stratum perfectly clear and of a dark rod color, and under it a turbid mixture containing tho im purities. The clear solutiou may be decant ed or drawn off, Relative to making; a perfect weld of steel without Are or borax, a blacksmith writes: “A job earue to my shop a few clays ago in the shape of two pieces of three-quarter inch round steel, welded together end to end. A taper plug of steel was in one end of a shaft on which a corn burr was running. The plug of steel was bearing against a like of steel in the frame, the object of this being to tighten the burrs. Owing to a loose box on tho shaft, the shaft got to jumping giv ing a side motion and creating friction enough to weld the two pieo<?s or steel to gether as stated. The two pieces of steel were hardened. ” A simple and easily applied test for wall papers has been devised by Mr. F. F. Gron stecl. No apparatus is needed beyond an ordinary gas jet, which is turned down to quite a pin-point, until the flame be wholly blue. When this has been done a strip of the paper suspected to contain arsenic is cut ono-sixteentii of an inch wide and an inch or two long. Directly tho edge of this paper is brought into contact with the outer edge of the gas flame a gray coloration, due to arsenic, will be seen in the flarno (test ,No. 1). The paper is burned a little und the fumes that are given o lt will tie found to have a strong garlic-like odor, due to the vn|xir of arsenic acid (test No. J). Tako tho paper away from the flames and look at the char red end—the carbon will bo colored a bronze red; tills is copper reduced by the carbon (test No. S). Being now away from tho ilauie in a line state of division, the copper is slightly oxidized by the air, ami on plac ing the charred end u second time not too far into the flame, the flame will now be colored green by copper (ted, No. 4). By this simple moans it is jtossible to form an opinion, without apparatus and without leaving the room, as to whether any wail iiajier contains arsenic, for copper arseniato is commonly used in preparing wall papers. Tests one and two would be yielded by any l>aper containing arsenic in considerable quantities. Phillips’ Digestible Cocoa.
