The Successful Politician,

The politicians who succeed
BY rule and system do proceed,
The rule IL broad and very plain,
The system intricate and vain.
1t isthe rule 70 always be
Polite to every man you see,
Hypocrisy you first must learn
before you can prefsrment earn.
When with the pious, you'll appear
To be q man Of faith aud prayer,
But when you 'mougst the roughs repair
Yon1l have to loudly curse and swear.
You must be everybody's friend.
In other words you must pretend
To favor all you hear and see,
And act with bland duplicity.
You must be ready for to lie
To laugh, or frowB, or even cry,
Just as it suits, then curse or pray
Which ever suits the place or day.
With temperance men you'll have to be
A model of so-bri-a-ty,
But when you're asked 10 take drink
For TO refrain you must not think.
When men oppose the temperate cause
You'll have 10 curse all liquor laws,
Youth have to lie and perhaps steal,
If in the public crib you'd feel.
You must be all things TO all men,
You'll soon become quite popular then,
You should know how to curse and swear
To sing psalm, or lead prayer.
To cheat and lie and to deceive
So that it wont your conscience gr,eve,
All secrets you must pledge to keep,
Whist through the mire and filth you creep
For If you cannot lie or swear, q
In politics you'll soon despair,
Ii you can't cheat TO help a friend
mi Your usefulness Is at an end. --'a''. W
Credentials you should never bring
mi9Froin those whore not inside the ring
For If you do you soon will find
- Your friends win for you change their mind
An honest man was never made
10 learn the politicians trade,
Because he ne'er can get full pay
Till he his conscience throws away.
10 be successful you must swear
That wrong is right and fraud is fair,
For piety aud truth would be
AS fatal as strict honesty.
On talent YOU should meier depend,
Your character don't try defend,
For talents nothing at this day
The question, is what will you pay?
And as for character its plain
You don't need that to office gain,
OF talent you need none TO treat,
OF character, you want none to cheaI.
OF conscience you should never think
When you do lie or take drink,
For if you do your doom is sealed
And you must then give up the field.
Its true we heavy fees do pay
BY turning honest men away,
But then we know rogues must be fed
If good men Tor them must DO bled.
know good men do often say
Wen stop this fraud another day,
Wen watch them, and We'll make them 81
They cant cheat with ilnprunity.
At this the roughs do smile and wink
And over it joke and take drink,
Then lay new plans, by which they say
They'll cheat them worse next election

Hardwood ashes Is one Of the most valuable
fertilizers that farmer can Use. 1t is almost
an impossibility for him 10 be at fault In the
manLer OF using. Ii sown broadcast the effect

VIII feel the influence of the ashes. For wheat
IL has been recommended to Use ashes mixed
with plaster, and il the wheat is sown in drills,
this mixture should also he thus sown. For
grass, ashes may he used rs a tnp-dTssiny. II
l.. Stated that as much as 200 bushels per acre
nave been thus used in Connecticut. We think
nan that amount fully enough for one dressing.
ror potatoes and corn, the ashes should he put
III the nils, but we look upon composing us
the best mode Of using ashes. They may be
| NAKED with muck, barn yard manure, or both
| those substances and also phosphate Oflimc,
with great benefit. There is hardly plant
| whlch does not contain one or the other Of the
elements which hardwood ashes add to the SOL.
| There Is a great difference in ashes, depending
on the wood from which grown and the soil
| from which the tree grew. Beech is probably
the richest inpotash though elm is very near he
| same, or greater. Ii trees are grown OH Il soil
rich in potash, that element will be in greater
| proportion, while if grown near the sea-shOre
where soda Is in the SOIL that alkali takes the
place of the potash to some extent.
A valuable substitute for ashes may be made
from the kairit, or German potash salt, by mix
| ing that material with common rich eath-woods
mold. One hundred pounds of kairit mixed
| with twenty-five pounds fresh burned lime and
| 400 pounds of woods earth, would make full as
valuable dressing as the average hardwood
| ashes.

low TO MAKE AN ASPARAGUS BED.-NoG
long since read an article in your paper telling
your readers how to make an asparagus bed
Here is one that will result in giving all of those
who will try the experiment a crop not only
larger in size, but better in quality, than can be
grown by the plan given by your correspondent.
1t Is as follows: Sow the seed as he has dreG-
ted, in short, follow his direction for the first
year except to be sure that ycu get Conovers'
Colossal instead OF the common varieties. When
the plants are one year old, instead of letting
them remain in their original bed, transplant
them in the following manner Manure your
bed very heavily, not less that at the rate of
seventy-iiye two horse loads PER acre, and if At
the rate of 100 loads all the better. Plow it I'M
der and level of your bed. Take your shovel
pillow and make burrows three feet apart, not
less than four nor more than five inches deep
Now take up your plants and look them over,
throw away the poor and the weak ones, and
transplant the others into the new bed by put
ting them into the burrows one TO about every
| eighteen inches. Spread out the roots in as
near their natural position as possible, and then
| fill up the burrows, pack the earth somewhat
over the plants, level off your bed nicely, and il
| is done. Cultivate well, destroying all the
| weeds as fast as they mako their appearance am
| early the next Spring cut off the old tops, ant
manure again heavily and dig it under, but b.
very careful not TO injure the roots of the plants
| lne rOols by the way run horizontally, ant
keep Just about the same depth that they art
planted. Hence you have a good chance IL
dig under the manure without injuring the plants
ifyou are careful. Now if you wish your bee
to give you something extra nice, get some GOO
super-phosphate and spread upon ii at the rat
say 900 pounds per acre.
In this latitude and climate you may looK 10
the purple shoots about tie first Of May, bu
you must cut sparngy this season. Remembe
| that if your bed is well made and cared for, i
will last you your whole life time. Hence b
careful not TO injure it before ii has CHANCE l.

and after three years fall crop. Manure ever

for the bed during the season, and it is ahsc
lutely astonishing what al amoHnt may be gail
