The Asparagus BED.

@How shall 1 get an asparagus bed y
inquiries one of our subscribers. We will
try to give the information desired.
To begin with the beginning-the seed
may be sown in autumn or early in the
spring, in a good loamy soil. Select good
and ripe berries, put them in water, and
when slightly fermented the seed can be
washed out from the pulp and dried. One
ounce will grow thousand plants. Sow
in drills one inch deep and about foot apart
and cover with fine soil, pressed down light
". Keep the weeds out, stir the soil often
and thin the plants to six inches apart in the
drills. AT one year select the thrifiest
plants to form your bed
The asparagrapus bed should be open to
the morning sun, and is-better if protected
from the north and east, yet open to light
and air 1t should be very rich, and on this
more than anything else, depends the
amount and value Of the product. Dig up
loamy, porous soil two feet deep, inter
mixing largely and thoroughly with manure
to within six inches of the top; this should
be filed with rich garden loan. Then take
the young plants from the seed bed-injur-
ing the roots as little as possible-and care
fully set out in rows two feet apart one foot
apart in the row. Then cover the bed two
inches deep with dark colored soil, made
so by mixture of charcoal dust or muck,
and sprinkle on salt until the surface is white
again. This will keep down the weeds and
promote the growth of the asparagus which
it should be remembered, originated on the
sea-shore.
In autdhz zrem9ve the dead stalks and
cover the -bsdthr inches deep with stable
manure, to be forked Iil in the spring, with
another dressing of salt Let the stalks
grow the first and second year without cut
ting, that theroots may be well established:
the third year the asparagus will be fit to
cut, and viii with similar treatment each
spring and fall-with perhaps slight ad-
dition of earth to prevent the roots from
coming too near the surface continue to
yield well for many years.
Remember, room, rich warm soil, moist
but we'll drained, and salt enough to pre-
vent the growth of weeds, are particularly
beneficial to the asparagus plant. With
these, and good care, one cannot fail to have
that inmate of all good gardens, an aspar-
agus bed.

THE GREAT DICKINSON
CORN SH ELL e R

HAVE purchased the patent right for the
L above great Corn Shelters for the State of Ar
kansas, and will at as early day as possibleb be at
Little Rock. prepared to sell machines and the
patent right for counties throughout the entire
State.
The rights for this celebrated Corn Shelter have
been disposed of for every State In the Union, at
enormous rates, and It needs but to be seen to
commend itself to every practical man.
1t commends ITSELF
1st. BY its cheapness-
I'd Durability, simplicity. lightness, portability
and no chance to get out OF order.
Sd. The manner OF doing its work-and this /
curious enough In all other machines the corn
is removed by grinding, crushing, MASKING,
iamming process, but in this it is picked off as
child would do with its fingers.
4th. No matter what is the size of the cob, or
shape, every kernel is :aken off and done SO neatly
that not even the chut or husk that holds the corn
is at all disturbed OF rubbed of, hence the corn
is clean-deposited in bag OF box, while the
cobs unbroken are laid on one side by the machine
itself.
5th. All other machines require much power
that they are almost useless. while this is and
so TO 90 bushels day.
9Th. But the most wonderful performance of
this curious machine, is the fact that it shells Wet
and Green corn. just as easily as Dry corn
7th. This is the only machine that will select
and shell corn foI seed, without injury to the
grain.

Z enmmer when the DAYS were Long

In Summer W1en Tic lays WCAS No
Tn Summer, when the days were long,
We walked together in the wood;
Our heart was light, our step was s,IohS-
Sweet fu.terings were there In our oiooo'
In Summer when the days were long,
We strayed from morn till evening came.
We gathered flowers, and wove us cro"ns'
We walked 'miG poppies red as na"e'
Or sat upon the yellow DOWNS
And always wished our life the same
In Summer, when the days were long.
W. leaned the hedgerow, crossed the brook
And still her voice flowed forth in song,
Or else she read some graceful book,
In Summer, when tie days were long
Ard then we sat beneath the trees,
With shadows lessening in the noon;
And, in the sunlight and the breeze,
We feasted. many gorgeous June,
While larks were singing DER the ieas-
In Summer. when the days were long,
On dainty chicken. snow white bread,
We feasted. with no grace but song.
We plucked wild strawberries ripe and red;
In Summer, when the days were long
We loved, and yet we knew it not,
For loving seemed like breathing then;
We found a heaven in every spot,
Saw angels, too, in all good men;
And dreamed of God in grove and grot.
In Summer, when the days are long,
Alone l wander, muse alone;
l see her not; but that old song
Under the fragrant wind is blown,
In Summer, when the days are long
Alone wander in the wood:
But one fair spirit hears my sighs;
And half see, so glad and good,
The honest daylight of her eyes,
That charmed me under earlier skies.
In Summer, when the days are long,
l love her as we loved of old;
My heart is light, my step is strong,
For love brings back those hours of gold,
In Summer, when the days are long.
