Asparagus.

Asparagus, to be proftably grown, re,
quires good climate and light, rich
deep soil. 1t may be raised from seed,
but when this plan is adopted, three or
four years must elapse before the cultiva-
tor can hope to gather supply. The
cOmmoner, better, and certainly prefera-
BILE plan for the amateur is to buy two
year-old plants and put them out in spring,
just as they begin to grow, on soil deeply
trenched and literally MANFRED the pre-
vious autumn and winter. In doing sc
the ground should be laid out into beds
six feet wide from center to center. The
paths should be one foot wide, and the
spaces between the rows eighteen inches,
In planting lay the line along where row
is to be, and with spade take out good
trench, observing to keep the edge of the
trench next to the line quite straight and
firm. Then put in the plants carefully
spreading the roots out and keeping The
crowns three inches below the surface
The plants should be eight or nife inches
apart in the rows. Mulch the surface
lightly with rotton manure, and water i
the weather proves very dry, not other
wise. The second and following years
manure water may be given with advan'
tage. Don't gather until the second OF
third year after planting, and even then
take care to cease cutting by the beginning
of June, so that the plants may have an
opportunity of developing and ripenine
their annual growth before frost; otherwise
they will soon die out. A sprinkling O
salt in inland localities and top dressing
of seaweed near the shore is considered
good for asparagus, as it is seaside plan
and requires a good deal of common salt
If it is considered worth the trouble t.
raise it from seed, such may be sown il
March or April, in good soil. in rows, on
foot apart. When up, thin the plants t.
swo r three inches apart and transplant
| the following wear, or year after.

"Faith,' said Mr.. Moody in Oakland, a
few nights ago, "can get anything from
the Son of God. NJ ans religion is made
upof two letters, do. God is made
of four letters, dome, done. Salvation is
worth working for; but working for it is
not the way to get it. God is not selling
salvation, and you can't buy it. Christ
didn't come down here to bring men a
salvation that they could work out for
themselves. Paul did works before he
was converted-but they were such as
holding the clothes of those who stoned
Stephen, and breathing out threatenings
and slaughter. Christ didn't come to call
workers, but sinners. He wants us to
work. He calls us to work, but not be
cause we werk. Trying to be good with
out Christ is like trying to fill tub that
has no bottom with bucket full of holes. -

When horse or cow breaks leg it has
generally been considered impossible to
set it and effect perfect cure, but science
will triumph. The New England Farmer
gives an instance: Some time ago vail
liable horse belonging to Charles e. Smith,
of Stony Brook, had his leg broken at
Port Jefferson. The broken limb was set
and the leg was imbedded in plaster OF
paris. In two weeks the horse could walk
around the stable; in three weeks drove
him home, q distance of five miles. and
three weeks after the horse was driven to a
road wagon mile in four minutes.

There is much refuse fat from the

soap is made it will be used in that way
but tits question whether it is not much

make the hens lay by feeding them witt

THE profound respect which we
entertain for our esteemed friends of
the Harrisburg Patriot, makes us
exceedingly 10th to say that they are
too innocent by one-half. OF course,
the Curtin \ Yocum case turned on the
construction of certain provisions of
the constitution and laws of this
State relating TO the registration of
voters" upon which, according to the
Patriot, "the lawyers of the House
disagreed" but then the lawyers of
established character and reputation
on the Democratic side of the House,
including men of such exalted stand
in their profession as Carlisle, Black
burn and Judge Phister, of Kentucky,
Mclean, of Maryland, Judge Phelps,
of Connecticut, Judge Geddes, Hurd
and Mcmahon, of Ohio, Judge Bick-
nell and Colerick, of Indiana, Nor
.rison and Springer of Illinois, Tucker
and Goode, of Virginia, Judge Sawyer
and Phillips, of Missouri, Gibson, of
Louisiana, Armfeld, of North Carolina,
Ryon and Beltzhoover, of Pennylvania,
Manning and Muldrow, Of Mississippi
and many others we could name,
were all on the side of Curtin. OF
course, no such consideration as the
votes of the Greenback members of
the House in favor of the bill for the
payment of the trumped up 1912 war
claims in return for votes against Gov.
Curtin had anything to do with the
position Of such Democrats as Harris
and Richmond, of Virginia, and Hen
kle, of Maryland. OF course, these
honorable gentlemen stood upon high
legal grounds in order to keep "the
record Of the democratic majority in
Congress on the subject of election
contests entirely free from the taint
of craftsmanship" OF course, Alex
ander Stephens stood upon the same

The Harrisburg Patriot, following

is now published every day in the

people Of Harrisburg and surrounding

We hope his enterprise will receive an

Snow SHoE.-Those of our friends seek
ing hcalthful recreation or in pursuit of
pleasure, cannot do better than to take Il
morning or evening ride 10 Snow Shoe.
Either by railroad or private conveyance
it Is one Of the most delightful and enjoy
able that can be imagined. The scenery
is charming and picturesque as We wend
up the mountain and look away across
the deep chasms 60 other mountains, with
here and there deeply shaded glens, and
fields and houses do,ting the prospect as II
TO prove that even the soltudes Of the
great Alleghenies are not inaccessible TO
the spirit Of improvement and the energy
Of man. The town OF Snow Shoe, built
upon a flat or table land on the north side
Of the mountain about three miles from
the summit, is hcartsome place with
pleasant inhabitants and agreeable sur
roundings. A more desirable place would
be difficult to find by those who desire to
seek relaxation or comfort during the heat
ed term in a pure and healthy atmosphere.
And certainly no more comfortable, home
like hotel than the "Chinclala-m
House" can be found anywhere. 1t is q
commodious building, especially arranged
with the view of aiTording the largest COM
fort to visitors, most admirably kept by
Mr.. Edward Nolan, who, with his pleas

forts TO contribute the comforts of pleasant
