The new and nice dwelling house
on Maple street, which w. r. Spear
has been building for Abel Merrill,
is nearly completed, and will soon
be occupied by the proprietor. The
house is receiving coat of fancy
paint, and it will be an improvement
to the street.
Thursday morning the snow was
a bout one inch deep in the street.
On the hills it fell four inches deep.
1t continued to snow and rain for
nearly two days, raising the streams
and giving the land a through
drenching. 1t was grand thing
for vegetation. The fields are rap.
idly becoming green, and the pas
lures will soon be occupied by cat
tie and sheep, that will be able to
live on the hills much earlier than
usual.
Hanson's meat cart from Tun.

will, no doubt, have reason to think
that it is not hardly honorable, as
the business of the place is no more
than is necessary to sustain one
good establishment.

To Make Cows Give Milk.

A writer who says that his COW gives
all the milk that is wanted in family
of eight persons, and from which was
made 200 pounds of butter in the year.
gives the following as the treatment
He says: If you desire to get large
yield of rich milk, give your COW, three
times day, water slightly warm, slight
ly salted, in which bran has been stir
red, at the rate of one quart to two gal
Ions of water. You will find, if you
have not found this by daily practice,
that your cow will gain twenty-five per
cent. Immediately under the effect of it .
She will become so attached to the diet
as to refuse to drink clear water, unless
very thirsty but this mess she will eat
almost any time, and ask for more. The
amount Of this is an ordinary water
pail full each time, morning, noon and
night. Your animal will then do her
best at discounting the lacteal. Four
hundred pounds of butter is often oh
tanned from good stock, and instances
are mentioned where the yield was even
at a higher figure.
The Cecil Whig., 1877-02-24
Asparagus.

This delicious vegetable is receiving
much attention at the present time, not
only from market gardeners, but from
farmers generally, who are desirous Of
having it for use in their own families.
At recent meeting of the State Board
of Agriculture, held at Haverhill, Mass,
Mr.. Slade, an extensive cultivator of the
plant, was asked if he was satisfied that
there is really but one variety, and that
the difference in size results from the
cultivation? He replied that he was.
We are inclined to think this conclusion
to be correct. The plant comes from
the wild variety, which grows freely in
Engl1nd and Italy 1t may be indi
genous to this country, but we do not
know of localities where the wild plant
is found Pliny states that asparagus,
which formerly grew wild so that every
man might gather it, was in his time
carefully cherished in gardens, particu-
larry in Ravenna, where the cultivated
plant was so large that three heads
would weigh pound. If this is true,
the ancient Roman gardeners beat US
most decidedly, for with our colossal
ard other varieties, we have not attain
ed to size approaching this The
English and the German cultiyators
have, however, produced enormous
plants.

Manure for Grass.

No crop gets less attention than grass
If manured at all, it is only incidentally
with other crops-never for itself alone.
Corn, wheat and barley get the manure,
and when seeded the young clover takes
what is left After this, if the field be
pasture, the droppings of animals left
in Jumps over the field, are all that the
land gets till plowed again. This is
considered improving the soil and it is.
No matter how mismanaged clover is
benefit, and whatever else he may do,
the farmer who sows and grows clover,
is making his farm better What, then,
might the result be, if the same care
were taken of the clover field as of the
other crops? 1t does not need cultiva-
ting. The long, deep-reachng roots
mellow and pulverize the soil as nothing
else can. If the clover grows thrifty,
the top acts as mulch shading the
ground and keeping it moist. A crop
OF two tons or more of clover, whether
plowed under or cut for hay, can hardly
fail to leave the soil better than it was
before. 1t should be the farmers aim
to grow the largest possible crops of
clover. A slight dressing Of gypsum
-one hundred pounds per acre in early
Spring-often produces wonderful re-
suits. But if farmer has a little we'll
rotted manure, the scrapings of barn
yards, Fall is the time to supply it
Glover is often injured by freezing and
thawing in Winter. and very slight
covering of manure will afford a great
deal of protection. Rich earth from
the corners of the fences is well worth
drawing short distance on Young
clover, provided the ground is hard and
firm. If the field is not to be moved
next season, coarse manure can be used.
