recipe for curing meat, with the assur-

until all the dirt from the sugar rises TO
The top and Is SKINNED OF. Then
throw It into tub TO cool, and when
cool pour It over your beet or pork, TO
remain the usual time, say four or five
weeks. The meat must be we'll covered
with pickle, and should not be put down
for at least two days after killing, dur.

FALL PLANTING OF ASPARAGUS
Within the past Two years we have
watched experiments made by several
gentlemen In planting asparagus In
August, and the result Is remarkable
success. The ground Is prepared as for
the crop az any other season, and, after
cutting of the green tops Of the young
seedlings, the roots are set precisely as
In spring planting. They push new
roots at once, and make eyes 80 strong
that even from one year-old seedlings
some asparagus-but not, OF course,
very Btrong-has been cut the following
spring; and where Iwo.year roots have
been used a full crop has been cut In
the same tlme-a result no one expects
from spring planting. In this region
the plant has taken strong hold OF gar.
deners, and asparagus planting is like
~ 10 take rank at once with the Straw
berry as a regular August operation.
1t will, Of course, be best In such cases
to cover the beds, after they have once
become frozsp, with some kind OF litter;

thawlng and freezing until the natural
spring season comes, or the plants may
be thrown out.-Gardener'S Monthly.
CULTIVATION OF Observation-Disclosures

and vlllager will find Il to his advan-
tage 10 cultivate some Of them. Plats
Of ground where early potatoes and
peas have been removed, fence corners,
patches around the outside OF corn

sown, aud many bushels raised with
out further labor than pulling. Do not
