FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Making Asparag gus Beds.


In the garden for family purposes
new asparagus beds should be made
now without delay, though any time
this month will answer. The best plan
in making these beds is to excavate the
earth, whether it is soil or not, to the
depth of from twenty to twenty-four
inches, remove all the dirt except the
soil, and commence to fill up with a
good layer of horse manure, press it
well down, then layer of soil,
and then manure again.
leaving the richest manure for the last
eight or ten inches. Plant two-year-old
roots of the Colossal variety, three feet
apart each way, with the crown of the
roots from six to eight inches beneath
the surface.
Keep che beds clear of all weeds.
grass, e3e. The plants will make con-
siderable growth the first season, and
the third season there will be some
more spires fit to cut. The fourth
season, three years after planting, the
bed may be considered in its full matu-
rity. No salt should be applied until
the bed IN fully established. While
there is no better fertilizer than salt for

be applied early in April and as soon
after the fall dressing of manure is

death to the young plants. Salt destroys
the weeds and grass, and must be kept
from box edging and young trees, or it
will destroy them too.

Enameling the Face, and What Comes
of IT.

A lady in Louisville (says the Ledger
of that city, paid seventy-five dollars,
we are told, for having her face enam-
eled for the ball given at the Calf House
to the Grand Duke Alexis. The en-
amel was warranted to last three days,
and so it did. The lady was taken i'll,
upon her return home from the ball,
her face became greatly swollen, the
most acute pain succeeded, and it was
only by the employment of the best
medical skill that her life was saved.
This statement we have from an un.
doubted source.
But the case of this lady is not SC
bad as that Of another Louisville lady
who became enamored of the odious
fashion of enameling the face. She
visited another city far to the Eastward
some five months ago, for the sole pur.
pose of having her face enameled &C
cording to the latest Partisan mode
She had heard that noted Partisan
was engaged in the enameling business,
at the city in question, and to him she
went upon her arrival. Forthe sum oil
$500 he agreed to enamel her face sc
scientifically that the enamel would
remain unchanged for three years, and
year or two longer if extra care was
taken in washing the face according te
his prescribed method The deyotet
of fashion concluded the bargain an6
paid $500 of the sum named, the bal
ance to be paid in yearly instalments
divided into three years. The lady re
ceived the enamel and returned to heI
home in his city. Since her return she
has disappeared from society. There
was SO much poison in the enamel tina
its effects were almost INN ediately de
veloped in the almost total paralysis O
the facial nerves, and what was once {
truly beautiful face is to-day distort
ed, disfgured and ulcerous one. TIL,
lady's beauty has disappeared forever
and if the physicians succeed in savins
her life, they will have accomplished
more than they had right to hope for
Her eyes are terribly infamed and dis
figured, and the sight of them fast

Yarns for the Marines.

Captain Jones, of Stonington, is re-
sponsible for the following: On his
passage from New York, few years
ago, he observed, one summer after
noon, a heavy cloud arise from the
land and, to his great surprise, APP
proach the vessel Suddenly it broke
near him, and covered the deck with
millions of mosquitoes, while part of
the flock went through the mainsail,
leaving nothing but the bolt-ropes
hanging idly to the spars. Corrobora-
tive evidence to this astonishing tale
found in the person of a "down-east
skipper, +" who heard the story, and who,
on comparing dates with the narrator,
declared that two days afterward he
was boarded by the same flock of mos
quitoes, and they oil soore conu0s

Some Famous ShinS.

The Boston Advertiser in recounting
the history of the Great Republic, which
was built at Donald McKay's shipyard
in Boston says "Here have been built
more fast clipper-ships than in any
other shipyard In the world. Here was
launched the Lightning, the fastest
ship ever known. She made the trip
from Melbourne to Liverpool in sixty
eight days, time that has never been
equalled by sailing ship. The Blaines
and Champion of the Seas were sister
ships, and at the time of the great Sc
poy multiny sailed from Portsmouth,
England with troops on the
same day, and after one
hundred and thirty-eight days en-
tered Bombay on the same evening and
at he same hour. Here originated
that famous series, the Sovereign of the
Seas, Empress of the Seas. Champion
of the Seas, and Glory of the Seas. Mr..
Mckay has built one hundred and fifty
ships; in the years 1855 and 1856, within
| fourteen months, fourteen were launch
ed from his yard. Those were the
palmy days fthis now neglected branch
of American industry, when our yards
We're the glory of the nation and the
envy of the world The last ship
launched by Mr.. Mckay was the Glory
of the Seas, in 1869. She is of two
thousand one hundred tons and the
largest ship sailing under the American
flag. Since then the yard has been silent
and deserted"

to tatten, attaining to nearly twice the

Breed 8 of Pigs.

We extract the following interesting
remarks concerning the various breeds
of pigs, from little work entitled
g Domestic Animals" published in
London, in 1910. Although but thirty
years have elapsed since the descrip-
ton of Berkshires was written, we
hardly think that the breeders of the
present day would accept it as descrip-
tive of their stock It is interesting
however, as showing the estimation in
which the different breeds were held at
that time, and indicating the modifca-
tions of the various breeds which 80
years of careful breeding has secured.
There are number of varieties found
IN almost every country, but the most
generally esteemed are:
The Chinese breed, originally from
China. Of this breed there are two
van at1es, the black and white; both
are small, but have strong disposition
to tatten, yet seldom weigh more than
thirty stones of eight pounds when
two years old. The white are generally
better shaped than the black; but they
are neither so hardy nor SO prolific.
Both are very small imbed, round in
the carcass, thin skinned, and finely
bristled and they possess the valuable
property of fattening on a compare
lively small quantity of food; so that
though they do not answer well for
hams or bacon, they are valuable as
roasters. There is q mixed breed va
rlously spotted with black and white,
which are remarkably prolific, are good
nurses, and with sufficient care will
bring up two filters within year.
Many crosses of this pig are truly val
liable; and there few of our small
breeds that are not, to greater or less
degree, indebted to them for THEN
cOmpactness of form and aptitude tc
fatten.
The Berkshire breed is Of a sandy OF
white color, with brown or black spots
the sides broad, the body well formed
and the legs short. The best speci
mems of this breed are without bristles
The skin IS remarkably thin, the fiesI
well favored and the bacon is of ,
superior quality. The hogs attain
very large SIZE This breed is nov
pretty generally dispersed over th,
whole kingdom, and the crosses ar
extremely numerous.
TIE Essex half-black pigs, raised b.
Lord Western, which have acquired s.
much celebrity, are descended from
the Berkshire stock, and may be reck
oned among the finest breed in thi
country. They are black and white
short haired, fine skinned, broad an,
deep in the belly. full in the hind
Quarters, and light in the bone anc
otlal. They are good breeders, but ar
considered as bad nurses. They ar
SAID to grow fast, and of an excellen
quality of meat.
The Sussex breed is a variety of tn
same kind. They are qaiok feeders
b1t are smaller than the Berkshire anc
the bone is too large.
Toe Dishley breed are remarkably
me 9oned and delicate, and are sup
posed to be descended from crosses o
the Berkshire and Chinese.
The Woburn breed is variety in

Fruft-Grafting.

AS the time will soon be here when
grating is in order, we repeat our
former advice that every farmer should
do his own grating. It is a very easy
operation when once understood, and
this is readily done by seeing it DONE.
A sharp pen knife and a good fine saw
are indispensable. Splitting the stalk
so that the bark shall not be brusied
ind shaping the scion wedge fashion
both ways, preserving also the bark
upinjured, and placing the rim of the
ao0od Of both stock and scion exactly
to gether, so that the sap can inter
mingle-there is no danger of failure
if properly waxed. We make a shout
der to the graft and it adds to the GER
tanty of success, though probably it
weskens 1t. We prefer also two eyes
or huds to graft, and would rather
have only one than more than two.
One years wood should be obtained, as
it is more certain to take and grows
more vigorously, and the graft should
be cut from bearing branches.
We wish to REMIND those preparing
grating wax, that we have found .tour
parts of resin, one part of beeswax, and
one part beef tallow, to be the best
proportions. Melt them together in a
skillet, (Which is the best, or lineup,
and mix well. It should remain in the
vessel and used as needed. Twenty or
thirty scions can be waxed with one
heating up. When much grating is to
be done, little fire for heating the
wax should be made on the spot, be-
tween two bricks or stones.
We have seen various preparations
for making grating wax and we believe
we have tried them all, but prefer our
own. Applying it warm or hot does no
injury to the graft. The object to attain
in the proportion is that the wax. viii
not crack in cool, dry weather. or run
in warm weather. If, however, upon
trial. different proportions be requ1red,
the foregoing be altered, though after
using them IN several ways we have
come back to these.

Scarcity of Water in the Canals.
From the Syracuse Journal, March 10.


The canal authorities have serious
apprehensions that there Will be a
greater scarcity of water the coming
season than has been experienced
before since the canals were construct
ed. Is is said that the reservoirs were
never so low at this season of the year,
and the principal dependence for filling
them is in the heavy rains, since there
is very little snow on the watersheds.
Commissioner Wright has issued orders
throughout the Middle Division closing
the outlets of all the reservoirs, that no
water be wasted, and that all that falls
be saved. This action by Commissions
er Wright will effect serious damage
to manufacturers owing mill property
upon some of the streams, particularly
those upon the Skaneatles Lake outlet
and on Seneca River. The proprietors
of some have had the enterprise and
foresight to provide themselves with
steam engines, and Will not be seriously
affected by the cutting off of the water
power. With others it will go hard,
particularly with their operators, since
the canal seldom opens before the LIST
of MAY.

The Postal Card Experiment in Eng.
land.
The london Economist say,

The London Economist says:
"The explanation given by Mr.. Bax-
ter of the change which has just been
made in the arrangements about postal
cards, is good illustration of the diff
ferences which often take place in the
actual development of improvements
from the expectation formed of them.
When the postal cards were established
the government took the matter into
It's own hands, and sold the cards at
haIfpennies each, and charging moth
ing for paper, but allowing none but
government cards to pass through the
post. The expectation certainly was
that the cards, whatever their other
uses, would be largely used by the
poor, and would be bought singly or
in quantities of less than a dozen, so
that no charge for paper could well be
made. In actual experience this has
not been the case. The dealing in the
cards has almost been exclusively
wholesale, the chief use made of them,
we believe having been for business
circulars, partly, but far from wholly,
as mode of advertising.
For these reasons, and not merely to
meet the grievance of statloners, who
complained that Government was in
vading their private trade by not max
ing distinct charge for postage, the
Government has resolved to change It's
arrangements, and adapt them to the
business which has grown mp. The
sales being exclusively wholesale, 6
charge for paper can and will be made
by the Government in addition to the
postage, and private cards will be al
| lowed under certain restrictions for The
postage of halfpenny. We may all
ticipate IN consequence speedy devel
opment of the postal card system, ant
so great is the business already that TIT

ing an extra halfpenny for each dozel

How Agassiz Lost Some of His Fish
Specimens.
Rio de Janero February 13> Correspondence of the
Now York Tribune.


New York Tribune.
Professor Agassiz has made a good
deal of use of our detention here,
gathering many valuable specimens
here, and, with his assistants, especial
ly DR.. Steindachner, making very nu
merous beautiful anatomical prepara-
lions of fresh specimens. An accident
exceedingly vexatious deprived him Of
some of them. He was at the residence
of a friend in the country, and had
spent a day very successfully in
making delicate dissections OF
fresh fish, exposing internal
parts. These prepared fish were I'M
mersed in alcohol, and committed for
safe keeping to black servant, old and
trusted, who was to guard them sa-
credIy. The next day, when the Pro-
lessor asked for them, the grinning
negro showed him the pan in which
they were flying. They had poured off
the alcohol, scaled and cleaned the
fish, and were frying them for the Pho
lessons breakfast. Imagine the Pro-
fessor's grief imagine the vexation of
the friend, whose faithful servant had
done the irreparable injury! AS for
the negro himself, he, of course,
thought he had kept the fish carefully,
and put them to their intended use.
What are fish good for but to eat
