Culinrc Of Asparagus.

We have often thought it very strange that
farmers pay so little attention to cultiyating
asparagus when it is so easily raised in every
family garden. Almost anybody esteems it a
luxury and our farmers and their families
would be glad to have 1t upon their tables in
the spling, to say nothing of cultivating it
for the market which can be made profitable.
And yet how very few gardens in the country
contain it! 1t is indeed strange, passing
strange, that this marine plant is so little cul-
tvated when Il is as easily raised as potatoes
or turnips. 1t is quite possible that farmers,
or at least most of them, do not know how
to raise it, and those who do understand the
process put it of from year to year, and often
repent of their neglect of this wholesome
luxury.
We have heard farmers express their re-
grets that they had not prepared bed of as
paragus and especially in the spring when
they see it in market, or may be witness their
neighbors cutting the thrifty shoots in the
cool OF the morning. Such may often be
heard to say" Well, will fix me bed next
spring, if live" But the spring comes and
the asparagus bed is postponed to another year,
and perhaps indefinitely. Many think, per-
haps, that it is too much work and trouble,
and taat they must hunt up some one Who
has roots TO sell, and finally The spring a4-
vances, summer comes, and the asparagus
bed is not made. The farmers wife and
daughter may urge him, but he puts them off
until another year when he promises them
he will do it provided he can find some roots
for sale; but the roots he never finds and his
family must pick nettles and sting their fin
gers, or gather some other herbs for "greens.'
Now let us say to this farmer and to all
others who have no beds of asparagus in their
gardens, that it is not necessary to hunt for
those who have roots for sale. You need not
wait for that.
Prepare your ground and get some seed
and SOW it. But how prepare the ground?
one may ask We answer: Spade deep, pull
yerize thoroughly, manure well, and sow good
seed. Remember, asparagus seed terminates
very slowly and the probability is the weeds
will come up long before the asparagus, and
these weeds must be Ike 1t down, but YOU mu t
remember where The rows are, so as not TO
disturb the asparagus when you are wedding
the bed. To make sure where the rows are,
mix some radish seed with the asparagus
seed, and SOW them just about as deep as you
do onion seed. The radishes will soon
come up and show you where the asparagus

The first season the roots VIII make
growth as large as fair sized strawberry
root. In preparing the ground for trans
planting, dig trench some eighteen inches

deep on one side, throwing the dirt all 70 ,hs
outside, place liberal supply of strong ma
nure in the bottom; commence ano,her
trench alongside; throw the top soil from this
on the manure in the first, then the subsoil
on tlat and repeat until your bed Is large
enough. Fill up the last trench with the diit
iiom the hrst and the whole is level. Make
the rows two feet apart and dig trench one
spade wide and tx inches Deep and place the
roots fifteen inches apart in the bottom and
cover with two inches Of dirt. THIS will leave
a ridge between the rows which must ke lev
eled down as the plants grow, and as often
as weeds make their appearance When this
work is done and the ground well settled, the
plants will be about four inches below the
surface, ard they should never be less than
that.
After the tops are killed by frost and nev-
er before-cut them off and cover the bed
with manure. Early in the spring, fork the
manure over, but be careful not to hit the
crowns. Don't leave ii without cutting for a
year or two for fear OF exhausting the young
roots, the heavy seeding will injure them
much more than the cutting. The process.
oil seeding is a!ways exhaustive to planta
One year old plants are better than older, as
they are more convenient to handle and less
liable to injury in digging and transplantlng.
In three years from the seed, you can have a
good asparagus bed which with proper care
will last lifetime and longer. Plant the
giant or mammoth seed. A light and sandy
sol is the best and deep pllnting is essential
If there is no such soil in your garden make
as nearly so as possible and yon may be sure
of a good crop. 1t IS considered a good
thing after the tops are dead to throw on
some straw and burn it over. This will
destroy the seeds Of the asparagus and
all the foul weeds that may have opened
their seeds. Then cover with manure as
before stated, and as the asparagus is ma
rine plant, salt brine is good to sprinkle
over the beds occasionally.
Now few hours of labor will prepare an
asparagus bed and a few more hours the next
spring will saffice to prepare the ground and
transplant the roots; and then for a life time
with little care and attention, fall and
spring, you can have this luxury upon your
table nearly two months every year. Isn't 1t
strange, then, that farmers have so few beds
of asparagus in their gardens? Our advice,
is, SOW bed the coming spring and not put
it off for "a more convenient season." for
that season seldom or never comes. Now If
you live longer without this wholesome lux
ury, 1t will be your own fault, and not ours;
for we have told You how to cultivate and
produce it:

The Highlander's Prayer.

A Scotch Highlander, who served in the
first disastrous war with the American Colo
mics, was brought one evening before his
commanding officer, charged with the capital
offence of being in direct communication with
the enemy. The charge could not well have
been preferred at more dangerous time
Only few weeks had elapsed since the exc
cution of Major Andre, and the Indignation
of the British, exasperated almost to madness
by the event, had not yet cooled down.
There was the direct proof against the High
lander He had been seen, in the gray of
twilight, stealing out from a cIump of under
wood that bordered on one of the huge for
ests, which at that period covered much the
greater part of the United Provinces, and
which, in the immediate neighborhood of the
British, swarmed with the troops of WASH
ington. All the rest was mere inference aud
conjecture. The poor mans defence was
summed up in few words. He had stolen
away from his fellows, he said, to spend a
few hours in private prayer.
'Have you been in the habit of spending
hours in private prayer?" sternly asked the
officer, himself Scotchman and Prestyte-
rian.
The Highlander replied in the affirmative.
'Then," said the officer, drawing out his
watch, "never in your life had you more need
of prayer than now; kneel down. sir, and
pray aloud, that we may all hear you"
The Highlander, in the expectation of in
slant death, knelt down. His prayer was
that of one long acquainted with the appro
pirate language in which the Christian ad-
dresses his God. 1t breathed of imminent
peril, and earnestly implored the Divine in
terposition in the threatened danger. tie help
of Him who in times of extremity is strong
to deliver. 1t exhibited, in short, man
who, thoroughly conversaut with the scheme
of redemption, and fully impressed with the
necessity of personal interest in the advan,
tages which it secures, had made the business
of salvation the work of many solitary hour,
aud had, in consequence, acquired much flu
eucy in expressing all his various wants as
they occurred, and thoughts and wishes as
they arose.
"You may go, sir" said the officer, as he
concluded; lyon have, I dare say, not been
in correspondence with the enemy tonight" !"
''His statement" he continued, addressing
himself to the other officers, sis, 1 doubt not,
perfectly correct. No one could have prayed
SO without a long apprenticeship; fellows
who have never attended drill always get on
i'll at review"

- The largest advertising contract given
out in 1868, and probably the largest ever
given to one advertising firm at one time is
that of the proprietors of Plantation Bitters
to Geo. P. Rowell 4 Co., Advertising Agents,
No. 40 Park Row, New York, on the 18th
of Sept, for S43, ,7T6 26.
Messrs P. H. Drake & Co. have for years
been among the largest advertisers in Amer
lea, and the contract mentioned above is but
a small part of their expenditure in this way
for the present year: 1t is only those who
have tried printers ink most extensively that
are so firmiy iy convinced ofits efficacy.
The AdveFtising Agency which is sending
out this order is another example. 1t com
menced business less than five years since,
and the fact that it now controls greater
advertising patronage than any similar estab-
lshment, is without doubt to be attributed to
their having expended more money in ad-
vertising themselves and their facilities within
that time than all other advertising firms put
together, since the establishment of the first
agency quarter of century since.
