Forcing Asparagus and Rhubarb.

Asparagus is easily forced. We have had
good crops three weeks before its appearance
in the open beds, by the simple protection Of
glazed frame without any artificial heat. A
slight bottom heat from bed of manure O,
leaves will accelerate it more efficiently. A
very little warmth is sufficient to start it into
growth. A bed of manure two feet or % in
thickness will be ample; over the manure spread
five or six inches of soil, then spread out the
roots, setting them quite thickly all over the
bed, covering offs will finish the planting.
Airing must be attended to, in hot sunny DAYS,
but close early In the afternoon, and cover up
ifthe nights are cool. Rhabarb may be lifted
and forced 10 similar manner, or if q green
house is available, q few roots may be set un-
derneath the plant stage; old barrels placed
over the plants in the garden, and well-surround.

this much sought after ieplsnt.-Fsymer ssd

b drawn down BY cord over the horses eyes
when they run away. they will thus at once be

That Harposn Story.

Strange as it may seem, there are some un-
believers in it. The Bunker Hill Aurora tells
an anecdote of shark, which, it thinks, is even
more remarkable, and full as true, as that Of
the whale:
Some years ago, says the Aurora, when Ex-
Governor Morton was on the bench, Capt Tay.
lor boarded with the Judge, at the Bloomfield
House. One morning, the Judge came in,
while several gentlemen were standing BY, and
says to Capt. Taylor: "Captain, l spent the
evening with Com. -, last evening, and he
speaks very highly Of your invention, &C.; but,
Captain, have been thinking that If q shark
should happen to come along, while you are
under water, what would you do then1'
"Why, Judge" said he, zone of my copper
boots would make an indigestible breakfast for
him.
"Ah! don't know about that" said the
Judge; "some time ago, shark chased . boat,
and the men heated large shot red hot, and
threw it overheard to him; he swallowed it, and
it burnt out, whereupon he turned round and
caught it again, and did SO two or three times
before It reached the bottom"
The company manifested their gravity from
respect to the Judge, until one gentleman de.
c!ared that 1T was fact; for" said he, "a
friend of mine was sculliRg near the shark at
the time. The shark became so exasperated,
that he swallowed my friend, boat and all; and
he Immediately stuck the oar out of the hole
made by the shot, and sculled ashore"
The Judge mizzled, and made straight for the
door, and has not alluded to the subject since.

Cancer Cure.

The most succes sful treater of this dangerou,
disease is, as far as we are knowing, DR.. H. R
Wilson. OF Gallipolis, Ohio. He will make a
fortune by bis success. A gentleman OF cur &C.
quaintance, who went to the DR. with a cancer
on his lip that afflicted him for many years, re-
turned completely cured, and advises all thus
afflicted not to give up hope 'if they can live a
few weeks" He wrote-"I would hardly be
believed were to relate one half of what l
saw. Men and women we're there from differ
ent States, making his skill their last hope.
Here we're cancers of different sizes, and on diff
ferent parts ofthe body. saw two that pro-
jectcd nearly an inch from the face, and would

citizens informed me that what ! saw was small

Plant Sugar Cane.

Al the planting season is now rapidly sp-
preaching. we would again urge upon our far
Iners not only the profit, but absolute necessity
of the devotion of reasonable share Of their
tillabIe ground to the cultivation Of the Chinese
Sugar Cane. Even in Kansas during the terri
bic drouth Of the past year, in localities where
it seemed impossible that vegetation Of any
kind could exist, this plant has na.ured and
been converted into excellent syrup-in very
limited quantities, It is true, but yet sufficient
to show that it is one Of the hardest and most
reliable Of crops, and TO demonstrate It's great
value to the country. if its cultivation IL perse.
vered in. Its productiveness and value has
been sufficiently tested by individual farmers
all over the West, and the fact is patent to all
who have had any experience in the business,
that the farmers Of the West can make just as
good an article of syrup for Is or 80 cts. per
gallon, as they can buy of the South for IS cts.
to tl!O0. One acre to every farm of 80 acres.
in the State, would, with proper cultivation,
and the use Of modern Improvements for grind
ing and evaporation. be sufficient to produce all
the syrup required for home consumption.
And the time il not distant when we can also
raise our own sugar, as well, from the same
source. The fact that some have failed, is no
evidence that cultivation Is impossible It sim
ply show. that they did mos 1y the righs way.
On the contrary. numbers have succeeded in
making sugar from the juice of the Chinese
Cane, and that il certainly sufficient warning
for others to try again.
The amount Of money that would be retained
in the country by sufficient production of these
articles, would be not less than $500 900 year
with the present population, sum that would
have material influence upon the comm srcial
prosperity ofthe State, and a sum also, which
is certainly worth the effort to retain.
We hope this subject will receive the early
and earnest attention of our farmers, and that
every effort will be made to give this crop that
degree Of prominence among our productions
that Its Importance warrants. An inland COM
munity as We are, with all but q very small por.
tion Of our border, deprived of all natural means
Of communication, it is incumbent upon u all
to cultivate every resource of home supply that
is offered. In no other way can We become, in
the fullest sense, self sustaining people, in all
the departments of trade and of indus.ry.-To-

Spring Work.

The time is now at hand for the farmers 70
commence their spring work. The frost is al
out Of the ground, and there is prospect of q
continuance from this time on, of mild weather
such as to admit Of outdoor operations. A large
majority of them are placed at a very great dis
advantage, by the reduced condition of their
teams, having been able to secure, last fall, but
little hay and no grain for them; very many
cattle JUDGED, have been compelled to subsist
for several weeks, upon the browse of trees,
and are consequently totally unfit for the ordi-
nary spring work of the farm. This is one of
the most distressing effects Of the last years
drouth, as by it very many will be crippled in
their operations, and unless some unlocked for
facilities are afforded, thousands of acres will
remain uncultivated, which would otherwise be
made highly productive, and largely swell the
abundance of which we all now look forward
to another harvest with SO much hope.
In view. however, of the prospects of the
abundance ofrain, this disadvantage may in a
measure be overcome. The earth will not re-
quire so thorough cultivation, and large area
ofiand may be profitably worked with less team
labor. We would, therefore, advise the plant.
ing of corn and the sowing of wheat, upon old
and previously we'll worked ground, without the
usual blowing, except. in tho Gaze of wheat, to
first harrow it up as well may be, and of corn.
to mark it of with the common pillow. This
will be great relief to teams, and in fact, with
many, is the only way in which they can cult
vate their farms, their teams being too much
reduced TO do any more. 1t is thought BY many
that this, with good cultivation after the corn
shall have attained sufficient growth, at which
time the teams will become strengthened by
the new grass, will ensure an ordinary Weld
In the sowing of wheat, the sooner it is in the
ground now, the better, as it gets the benefit of
the moisture now in the earth, and all that falls
hereafter, and will come forward before the
weeds, and thus avoid the danger of being in.
jured by them.
Toa thorough going farmer, this system, or
rather want Of system, of cultivation, will of
course be very annoying. as contrary to all es-
tablished ideas Of good farming, but with thou
sands, it is the only alternative-that or no
crops.-Topeka Record.
