CARE OF THE ASPARAGUS RED.

juires the same cultivation to keep
Ini weeds and grass as other crops,
I when once fairly established its
[oious [subjection, growth serves to keep weeds
and while it will endure
[ood deal of neglect it pays to keep
) grass out of it, and protect the
int with a good coating of manure
ougli the winter. My plan is to
Ice and level the manure early in the
ing, without disturbing the soil
hy deeply. By this time the rains
Ive leached the strength of the ma-
Ire into the soi[ within reach of the
knts, and what remains on the sur-
te acts as a mulch, serving to keep
kn weeds until the cutting is over,
the plants, by their rapid growth,

growth of anything else. I think
much better than to put ofl'manur-

AVOID SCRUB STOCK.
the season for breeding, farmers
arrange to improve their live
of ail kinds so far as possible by
the best sires and dams obtain-
le. Better purchase or pay extra
for the services of superior ani-
als than to breed from scrubs. Al-
to the equine race, a rec.’ni
iter declares that too much cannot
t said against scrub stock. The
rime for its breeding does not rest
'holly upon the shoulders of those
ho keep or patronize scrub stallions,
goed deal rests upon those who
•ced scrub mares.
The dam is as important a factor as
sire, and too much care cannot be
xc -ised in the selection of brood

keeping horses clean.
l ew owners of horses are aware of
ie importance of keeping the skins of
phf ^ animals ble clean. Proprietors of

e Mediums 1 through which are expeii-
waste materials of the blood, such

c °me active poisons.
The skin naturally does about as
much of this work as the lungs. If
the former is not kept clean and its
pores become obstructed, upon the
lungs devolves so much more of the
labor to perform a6 the skin fails to do;
and if the lungs are overworked the
animal loses a portion of his power,
sliced and endurance. When a good
portion of the pores of the skin are
ctosed, as in a coM or fever, or from
filth, the breath is overladen with
moisture, plainly proving that the
lungs are doing double work; and
when the lungs are partly decayed, as
in persons having pulmonary consump¬
tion and accompanying night sweats,
the skin is then doing double labor as
the profuse perspiration indicates.
, 'l hese facts 6how the intimate rcla-
tion existing between the skin and the
lungs, and evince the necessity, for the
good of the animal, that the skin be
kept clean, and thus preserve a health¬
ful equilibrium of action between these
two important features of the animal
economy. An animal with a dirty hide
cannot be at bis best. Cleansing the
skin is strengthening the lungs.—[Na¬
tional Stockman.
FERTILIZING.
In the newer states it has been the
fashion to sneer at fertilizers of every
description. But if this is kept up too
long the laugh is with the other fel¬
low. It is only a question of time
when any soil needs replenishing.
The hotter plan is to make a study
of your soil, find out in what elements
it is lacking, then make a careful ex¬
amination of the accessible fertilizers,
and ascertain what is best adapted to
meet the want in your case. For most
farmers this can better be done by em¬
ploying some expert or by consulting
the official and certified analyses made
by state authority.
Where practicable, it is always de¬
sirable—other things being equal—to
keep some live stock. Those who
have attended our farmers’ conven¬
tions and Institutes have heard this
side of the question fully presented,
and probably nine out of ten farmers
are convinced that for the sake of the
manure as well as for other sound
economic reasons, it is desirable to
keep live stock of some kind.
But there are sections of the country
where this is impracticable. There
are, also, crops, including fruit cul¬
ture, where a close study of the con¬
stituents of the soil and of the adapta¬
tion of a fertilizer are requisite, and
where the proper commercial fertilizer
i6 absolutely essential. For this rea¬
son we are glad to direct our readers
to reliable fertilizer companies, such
as are advertising in our columns.
They would put forth no analysis tha
was not trustworthy.
The men connected with and man¬
aging these fertilizer companies are
above and beyond any deception or
frauds. Their highest interest lies in
producing a good fertilizer and in
honestly stating its constituent parts.
They employ capable chemists and can
advise those who need the informa¬
tion. what particular soils and partic¬
ular crops need. These companies
are not like the doctor who was ‘‘death
on fits,” and so proceeded to produce
fits in his patients first, in order that
he might apply his remedy for fits.
The fertilizers are made with different
proportions of this and that element
with a view to meet the needs of cer¬
tain soils and specific crops.
As illustrating this in horticulture,
we have just seen an item to the effect
that English rose growers are using
blood manure for their vines with
much success, it is said. They tako
sixteen pounds of blood, and as soon
as it begins lo putrify pour into it four
ounces of muriatic acid and four
ounces of proto-sulpbate of iron, pre-
viously mixed, which turns the blood
into a dark, dry powder, that will
keep for any length of time. A half
pound of this is mixed with the 6oil
over the roots of each rose bush.—
[Farm, Field and Stockman.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

eminently suited for cheese making.

oats sown per acre have averaged the
largest crops.

Insect Enemies to Plants.
When these are present on leaves and
shoots plants cannot flourish, because
their juices It is in are extracted better by the inva-
dors. every ' way to sponge
the lcaves of P lants or fringe them fre¬
quently, for preventing insects gaining
a foothold, than to permit them to do so.
and then have recourse to strong appli-
cations for their extirpation. When
PlaD ‘ 8 destroyed m " 8t
are or
not; yet it is necessary to destroy them
for reducing the injury to a minimun,
as well as for averting further damage.
When insects cannot be driven from
plants by cold water forcibly applied, it
is a good plan to try some as hot as the
hand can be borne in for a moment or
two. A few experiments will show that
the plants will endure it hotter than the
insects can. Still, care must be
taken a to scald the leaves,
A trial or two with soon
enable a person to act safely. An
ounce or two of soft soap dissolved in a
gallon of water will make it more effect¬
ual as an insecticide, aud if applied quite
as hot as the hands could be washed in it
will neither scald the leaves nor stain
them, but will destroy most insects that
receive a drenching. The greatest of all
mistakes that can bo made, and one
which is made in thousands of instances
every year, is tp wait till insects are nu¬
merous before taking action against
them. A few may be conquered easily;
a clustering shield crowd eucli is difficult to destroy,
as they other.
Fire-Extinguishing Compounds.
Chemical fire-extinguishers are of va¬
rious sizes and kinds, but all mainly de¬
pend on the rapid production of carbonic
acid gas, which is an enemy to all kinds
of combustion. Water is capable of ab¬
sorbing large quantities of carbonic acid.
When the gas is generated its expansion fluid
acts as a propelling power, aud the
being forced into the flames, the gas in
solution is liberated by the evaporation of
the water containing it. Glass bottles
containing the materials may be hung up
in convenient places in factories or dwell¬
ing-houses. The following, or a similar
mixture, is used for filling these bottles
or hand-grenades; as they are called:
Twenty pounds of common salt, ten
pounds of salammoniac, and seven gal¬
lons of water. A cheap and efficient sub¬
stitute for the hand grenades can, it is af¬
firmed, be made by tilling ordinary quart
bottles with a saturated solution of com¬
mon salt. The salt forms a coating on
everything the water touches, and makes
it nearly incombustible.
Hardy shrubs and flowers should be se¬
lected with a view of having a supply of
flowers from spring until autumn. As
some flowers bloom early and others late,
selections of varieties best suited to the
soil and for each month will assist in or¬
nament the garden until frost appears.

It is ettlsated that Smith's Tonic Svrup
made by Ur. JohD Bull, of Louisville, Ky., is
used in not less than eljht hundred thousand
families. In many localities it has eutirely
taken the place of quinine, having all the good
qualities of this drug aud none of its evil ten¬
dencies. its use has a most l»eneticial effect
on the circulatory s>sttm life and mucous mem¬
brane. It instills into these important
portions and prevents congestion, it reduces
inordinate temperature auu allays all feverish will
symptoms. It is a true anti-periodic and
prevent or cure chills and fever with invari-
blecertainty, in malarial districts, where
colds, fevers, influenza, etc., are common, it
is almost a sacred duty to take Smith’s Tonic
Syrup occasionally, as by this means the good
health of the fumily is preserved.

Was well taken by a Judge in a Georgia city
recently. A highly respectable and usually
prompt citizen, who had been summoned
to serve upon the jury, depended upon a
cheap watch, and arrived twenty minutes
late. The Judge promptly fined him $50,
indicating that in this age of tine watches
at reasonable prices, his excuse was not
sufficient to relieve him of the tine.
This expense would have been avoided if
the citizen had been wearing a Stevens
Watch. They lead ali others for durability
and accuracy, and prices are very low. Call’
