Henry Clay on One Domestic Virtue

From the Louisville Age.l
DEAR AIIss-Mr. Thomas delivered to
me the pair of worsted socks which you
did me the honor to present to me. |
thank you most cordially for this inter
esting testimonial Of your favorable
consideration of me, and for the friendly
sentiments with which you have ac-
companied it. In firmness and evenness
of thread and neatness of appearance
they excel any that | have ever seen.
Mrs. Clay, who has supplied me many
years with socks, wrought, by her own
hands, from the best Merino wool, ac-
knowledges the superiority of yours.
/ shall wear them with added pleasure
from their being the production of one
of my fair countrywomen, and of the
daughter Of valued friend. Next to
intellectual attainments, there is none
possessed by your sex which more strong
ly recommend you to the regard of those
among ours, who are worthy of your
notice, than that of industry, with its
usual concOmitant economy. That you
may, in due time, meet with one capable
of justly approaching your good quail
ties, and entitled, in return, to your
warmest affection, is the fervent wish of
your friend and obedient servant,

SHOWER AND FLOWER.

Down the little drops patter,
Making a musical clatter,
out OF the clouds they throng;
FRESHNESS Of Heaven they scatter
Little dark rootlets among.
"Coming to visit you POsies!
Open your hearts to Us, Roses :"
That is the Raindrops' song
Up the little seed rises
Buds Of all colors and sizes
Chamber up out Of the ground.
Gently the blue sky surprises
The earth with a soft-rushing sound
Welcome the brown bees are humming
I" Come for we wait for your comingl"
Whisper the wild flowers around
"Shower, it Is pleasant to hear you -
" Flower, it is sweet to be near you p
This Is the song everywhere.
Listen the music will cheer you
Raindrop and blossom so fair
Gladly are meeting together
Out in the beautiful weather.

THE ASPARAGUS BED.

Harpers Magazine.
He who lives in the country and has
no asparagus bed has at least one heavy
sin Of omission on his conscience for
which he never can give an adequate ex-
cuse If the man who does "not pro-
vide for his own house is worse than an
infidel, f" he who will not 50 bother with an
asparagus bed is anything but orthodox,
and yet cannot call himselfa a nationalist.
Some are under the delusion that an as
paragus bed is an abstruse garden prob
lem and an expensive luxury. Far from
it. The plants Of Conover's Colossal
(the best Variety can be obtained ofany
scotsman at slight cost. / have one large
bed that Yields almost a daily supply
from the middle Of April till late in
June, and | shall make another bed
next Spring in this simple way; As ear
" in April rs the ground is dry enough
the sooner the better-I shall choose
some warm, early, but deep soil, enrich
it we'll and then on one side of the plot
open furrow or trench eight inches deep.
Down this furrow | shall scatter Il heavy
coat of rotted compost, and then run a
plough or pointed hoe through it again.
By this process the earth and compost
are mingled and the furrow rendered
about six inches deep. Along Its side, one
footapart, | will place one-year old plants,
spreading the roots, and taking care to
keep the crown or top of the plant five
inches below the surface when level !;
then halffIl the furrow over the plants,
and when the young shoots are well up,
fill the furrow even. / shall make the
furrows two feetapart, and after planting
as much space as | wish, the bed is made
for the next fifty years. In my fathers
garden there was a good bed over fifty
years old. The young shoots should not
be cut for the first two years, and only
sparingly the third year, on the same prin-
ciple that we do not put young colts to
work. The asparagus is a marine plant,
and dustings Of salt sufficient to kill the
weeds will promote Its growth.

Good Work the Grangers Have Done.


The Chicago Tribune notes, as one of
the healthful changes that are taking
place in trade, the fact that farmers
now are disposed to purchase what they
need for cash. 1t says: 1.-The Granger
organization taught the lesson that he
who bought for cash and ran no bills
made large saving, and this lesson has
been extensively carried into practice.
Country dealers, therefore, as their cash
sales increase, can in turn purchase
stocks on shorter time and ON better
terms than was possible under the ex-
elusive credit system, The greater the
extent to which farmers and all others
can purchase all they need for cash. the
greater and more profitable to consul
mers, to merchants and to manufactu-
rers will be the exchanges that take
place

Mass, a regulation was made that every
unmarried man should kill six black

he remained single. IF he neglected
this order, and wished to marry, he was
not allowed to do so till he had shot his

A good way to cook ham is to bake
it. Soak about twelve hours. Wash
very clean, trimming away any rusty
parts. Wipe dry, and cover the part
not protected with skin with paste or
dough made of flour and hot water
Lay in dripping pan, with the paste
covered side upwards, with enough
water to keep it from burning. Bake
until fork pierees it easily, allowing
about twenty-five minutes toeach pound
of the ham, Baste occasionally with
the drippings to prevent the crust of
paste from cracking off When done,
peel off the crust and remove the skin
of the ham.

American Agriculture.

The possibilities Of American agricul-
ture can best be appreciated by review
ing the facts that the area of arabic
lands in the United States exceeds
1900, 600, 900 square miles, while the
area at present under cultivation is
estimated to be ia, ,901 900 acres, or
less than 275, 900 square miles 1t is
probable that the next census will show
a valuation of farms exceeding s11 ,000,-
600. 900, and an annual production of
SO, 1000, 900, 900. The fact that more
than one-half of our people who are
engaged in the ordinary pursuits of life
are directly employed in agriculture, is
at once sufficient evidence of its uni
versatility and Importance

IT is folly to keep old sheep. They
should be turned off to the butcher
while they are in their prime. 1t does
not take half as much to fatten them
then. When they get old and thin, in
order to put them in condition to slaugh-
ter, the whole superstructure must be
rebuilt. Four sets of lambs are all
eve should bear; this will bring her to
five years, and this is an age when, with
little extra care, she will round up to a
fine and full carcass. Exceptions may
be made when the breed is scarce, and
the blood is more desirable than any
