A western New York farmer says he has

100 pounds can endure more than one Of
1900 weight.

the wheat is ripe. But do not delay the

Professor Shelton is credited with show
ing by experiment, that wheat sorted in a
bin does not shrink, though kept through
the winter. The assumption is that the de-
crease not caused by rats and mice is due
to human plunderers. It is suggested that
= large number of farmers unite in making
careful tests by burying in wheat bins sacks
Of grain, and noting systematically any
changes in weight.
Laying hens, says the Germantown TEL
graph, just now require special attention in
their food. 1t is the end of long winter,
and it will be many weeks yet before they
can help themselves to worms, insects, etc.
Therefore give them scraps of meat, boiled
potatoes, corn meal, mush, etc., with plenty
Of pure water. Let them also have access
to gravel and sod. They are fond of the
tender grass shoots, which add to their
health and increase the quality Of their eggs
If the mare will not give milk with good
feed, you had better cease using her for
breeding purposes. Give her warm bran
mashes and plenty Of roots, carrots, and
turnips with bran sprinkled over them after
being cut up fine. If these fail, then she is
of no value as breeder. However, you
ought not to have let the colt starve to death
because you might have given it fresh warm
cows milk, and brought it up on the bottle,
if it was worth the trouble.

perhaps prevent ultimate success. The

A Farmers Way With Asparagus.

i. From the New York Tribune.
have about one third of an acre of as
paragus, and I find it the most profitable
piece of ground in my garden. Ihaye tried
different systems of management, and have
settled upon this one: My plan is to keep
out all the frost can in the winter, and
then get rid of what does get in as early as
possible in the spring. To this end leave
the rank summers growth standing, to catch
and hold the snow; this forms the best COW
e;ing possible to keep out frost. leave it
in this condition so long as freezing infiu-
ences predominant. When the weather
, turns in the spring SO that frost is leaving,
/ cut the old stalks and rake and burn as
clean as possible. am sometimes able,
in dry time, to clean it by setting fire
along an edge; if necessary, assist the fire
by moving and raking such tufts as do not
catch. A mulch keeps out frost, but then
it retards the warming up of the soil in
spring. So clear up the bed in good shape
in early spring: rake chips and rubbish into
little piles, and burn everything that can.
As soon as the ground is dry enough, 20
on with spring tooth harrow and cut and
cross it until the whole patch is like seed
bed three inches deep. If it gets packed
down before the shoots start, go over it
again. In this way get asparagus out Of
the groun as early as it is safe to have it
come.
I do not touch the ground again while VIC
it will be muddy after rains. We cut until
we have green peas. The last time over
we cut everything that shows, 20 right on
with the spring tooth harrow, use horse
and light plough between the rows, and
give it q most thorough dressing, haul on
to it any coarse manure which we may have
we never use any good, nice manure on
it-cobs, chips, old brine, in fact the clean
ings up generally Of the farm. The as
paragus bed is the catch-all of the farm
during the summer, but the rank growth
hides every blemish and it makes it beau
tiful spot. We throw all the summers
weeds into it. When We cut burdocks we
drag them out into the bed. The rank un-
dergrowth Of the asparagus keeps down
weeds, but we go through it several times
during the summer with double shovel
ploughs, and if necessary with hand hoes.
There may be better methods, but we make
success of asparagus, which we could not
do If compelled to make it so laborious as
is often directed in newspaper articles. In
all of our Western methods we have to
economic bor-oftentimes to an extent
which passes the bounds of economy and
proves disastrous. I do not think that as
paragus- growing can easily be overdone.
It comes SO early, when people are hungry
for something green, that the demand is
great, and then again requiring as it does,
two or three years to establish bed, it
calls for degree of forethought and care
which but few people possess.-(J. ".

Poisoned by Belladonna Plasters.

From the Holyoke (Mass.) Transcript, April 16
A physician in this city has two cases,
within fortnight, of blood poisoning from
wearing a belladonna plaster. The first
patient was a woman who had been ailing
for week, the symptoms being blind
ness, feverishness, and contraction of the
throat. The physician saw that the symp-
toms were those of poisoning, and found
that she had been wearing plaster of this
kind on her side. The skin was slightly
abraded and the blood had absorbed the
poison. It was week before she recovered
the effects. The other case was Of a man
who became so i'll within two hours after
he put on the plaster, that he was alarmed
and called for the doctor. The symptoms
were the same as in the first case, and the
doctor traced it to the plaster at once. As
soon as the cause was removed the man
became better and soon recovered. The
knowledge of the effect in the two cases
may be useful to other persons.
