sorts of asparagus to be found in our
markets, although names of different
varieties appear in catalogues. "Colos-

by giant cultivation only. In almost
every bed of asparagus of any extent.
sprouts with white, purple. and green
called different varieties are produced
in every lot of Seeding plants, but sell
dom or never separated and cultivated

B1ANs.-For what are called snap
beans, to be used while green, the Early
China and White Wax are both excel
lent, The latter has yellow pods, which
to some is an objection, because they
have not been accustomed to this color.
For dry shelled beans the White Mar
row Is one of the very best. For pole
bean, Dreer's Improved Lima meets
every requirement in this l,ne.
BEErs.-Among the roundor turnip
oeets, the dark red Egyptian Is deser-
vedly very popular for an early sort,
with deep rich color; but for sweet
ness and tender flesh it is in nowise su-
perior to the older anu better known
Early Bassano. Both sort are highly
priced for eariiness as we'll as flavor.
For late winter sort for table use, the
improved long dark red or blood beet
is still preferred to others varieties.
CABBAGE.-Of the many hundred vari-
cites in cultivation it is difficult to dis
tinguish between some of them, as they
are so nearly alike. For very earlies,
the Jersey Wakefield is the very best.
The old Winnigstadt has the merit OF
producing very hard sugar loaf shaped
heads even in unfavorable seasons, but
1t Is of rather coarse texture when at its
best. For winter use, the American
Drunhead and Mammoth Drumhead are
two of the largest and best sorts. For
delicacy of flavor and tenderness of the
leaves, the curled Savoys excel the fiat
leaved sorts, and Brill's Perfection is
one of the very best sorts in cultivation.
CARRoTs.-Among the earliest we name
Early French, and for late winter use
Improved Long orange.

HOUSE AND FARM.
Useful Hints 10 Farmers.

The best cross for dairy and beefcattle
would be the Devon or a Princess Short
Horn. A bull of the latter, however,
would cost good deal of money.
A good book on diseases of cattle is
DIR. Dadd's american Cattle Doctor
1t contains what no other book of the
kind hasa list of symptoms as a guide
to indicate the disease, and this is great
advantage.
Care should be used in selecting the
proper soil for each vegetable. The long
varieties of beets, carrots and parsnps,
should never be grown in heavy soil that
packs easily. There are kinds more suit
able, such as those that grow partly out
of the ground, but sandy or open, light
soils are best for the long varieties.
In regard to the feeding of yellow and
white corn the Rural New Yorker says
the different analysis 90 to show that
yellow corn contains larger proper
ton of albuminois and less starch than
white corn, and this would render the
yellow corn a little better for feeding. A
good deal of attention given to this cues
ton during several years has not en-
abled us to discover any difference what
ever in feed values of the two varieties
of corn.
The hens that break and eat their
eggs are usually those which are fed
with kitchen waste. Feeding with meat
or animal flesh seems to cause this bad
habit, and fowls that are supplied with
corn, wheat, scalded bran, and meal in
abundance do not seem to practice this
vice. Once it is contracted there seems
to be no cure. A frequent provocative
of the habit is giving egg-shells to the
fowls; they eat those with avidity, and
then learn to break the eggs. Another
cause is too close confinement in house
or yard and the leaving of eggs in the
nest tie freeze.

New York society has lately decided
that when gentleman and lady meets
on the street, the one who first sees the
other should bow The old rule, that
the gen tlcman should wait for the recog-
milton of the lady, is declared obsolete.
A lady of experience observes that a
good way to pick out husband is to see
how patiently the man waits for dinner
when it is behind time. Her husband
remarks that good way to pick out a
wife is to see whether the woman has
dinner ready in time.
1t is fashionable now to have scarfs or
lambrequins for the low shelf which ac-
companies the long mirror extending
from the ceiling almost to the floor in

be placed, while the mirror which was
formerly universally found between the
windows is replaced by long and valu

Look Out For Your Seed Corn.

Mr.. j. S. Leaning, Wilmington, Ohio,
expresses in the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette the opinion that nineteen
twentieths of last years corn crop"
throughout his state, Indiana and Illi-
nois is unsafe for seed on account of
frozen germs He says further:
"By testing several lots ofwhat was.con-
sidered well Inatured corn, | find that
even that is greatly injured. Almost any
corn of 1881 will grow. The corn of that
wear all matured well. One thing must
be observed it should be soaked till it
pumps out, in order to make it come as
soon as new corn. Farmers should here
after secure seed corn in late autumn by
going into the field, selecting the best
ears and hanging them up In the dry by
the husks. to cure out before freezing"
An Indiana correspondent of the
Prairie Farmer makes statement SINH
lar to the above and advises testing seed
corn by the following simple method:
"Select 100 kernals lndiscriminately
from seed ears and place between two
wooden cloths, which must be kept damp
and in the ordinary temperature OF a
living room; or the kernals may be
placed in a glass bottle and covered with
water. and hung in the window or near
the fire, or if convenient place the kerr
nels in shallow box of earth. In few
DAYS, if the seeds are good, the sprouts
will appear, and then the terminated
kernels can be counted and the per cent.
that will develop is readily ascer-
tanned, and the plan made accordingly"

The Earthquake Sensation.

All who have related from actual ex7
perience how an earthquake feels, agree
in describing the sensation as one of pc
culiar sickening fright and despair as il
the bottom had fallen out of the world
and the whole universe was going to
pieces. In travels in Peru and MexI-.
CO." the writer gives Juan Romero's story
of a recent terre-moto in the equator
al Sierras, from " hich he and his cattle
were sufferers.
AT the first warning rumble in the
ground, himself and his family and his
workmen all quilted their occupations
and ran to the middle of an open field,
But before we reached this Che says
the earth trembled violently beneath
our feet, and we were all thrown to the
ground.
We were all however soon on our feet
again. and in position of comparative
safety where we could watch the effect
of the earthquake upon the animals.
These all stood motionless with their legs
stretched out and their heads bent down
almost to the ground, one or two of the
cattle moaning.
A second shock was very different.
turing the first one we seemed to be
drawn or pushed from side to side; but
now we felt, for minute or more, as if
some weight were pressing us to the
ground, and Immediately after this as
light af if we were ascending into the air,
showing that the shock was in the first
case horizontal, and in the SECOND in a
perpendicular direction.
OF his own feelings, Mr. Romeo said
that he experienced kind of terror
hard to describe. "My first sensations
were dread that the earth was about
to open and bury everything within
its bosom. But what / felt alter tthis
was not like the fear of death which |
have experienced in other cases.

although without fear OF human enemies
who, one might suppose, experienced
the same unpleasant scnsati ms as one
self The prospect of death, however, is
generally accompanied by hopes of the
fnture; but during an earthquake the
reason is subdued, and my predominant
feeling was that we were utterly lost, 1t
seemed as if all nature was about TO ex-
pire; and for an hour or two after the
shocks there was the same appearance of
dread among the whole party.
Gwen the beasts stood for some time
in the position which they had taken
during the shocks, and required patting
and reasuring before they would move. :"

Young Chickens.

From the Western Agriculturist.
Now that spring is fast coming on, il
may be best to consider the best means
of taking care of the young chickens
which will soon put in their appearance.
Have a coop, provided with dry board
bottom to it: not only will this keep the
coop dry. but it can be moved from
place to place, and not be suffered to re-
main long in one place. If you have an
extensive run or range, by all means al
low them a chance to roam in quest OF
insects and to pick the tender grass, but
do not let them out too soon in the
morning, before the grass is dry, nor
should they be out in the rain.
1t is difficult thing to keep large
numbers of chickens together to advan
tage, unless the keeper manages his
Young stock wisely. Where too many
are kept together there is danger OF
overcrowding, and in this way roup, or
some other disease arising from impure
blood and air, is brought on to say moth
ing of the lice nuisance.
During the hot summer his chick.
ems should not be exposed entirely to
the direct rays of the sun. and if they
have no shady place to retreat to, they
are in a pItiable condition, nor does
night bring relief, if they have to crowd
in hot coops illy ventilated. Therefore.
for several good reasons, chickens should
have access TO good shade in the sum-
mer months, which is as important IN
summer as sunshine in winter
For a little care and attention in the
beginning, the keeper will be amply re-
paid for all labor bestowed.

The Growth of the Farthes,
Northwest.

Oregon newspapers, reviewing the
events Of the past year. show the exist
ence of a remarkable degree of prosper
ity in that state. Ten years ago the
population of Portland was less than
1900. To-day it is nearly three times
that number, and is continually increas-
ing. During 1882 So 100000 was spent
upon new buildings in that city, and $780,.
600 on its streets. Its wholesale trade for
the next year amounted to $4,000, 600
and the exports to $23, Us, 1881.
Equally favorable reports come from
Washington Territory, whose vast for.
ests of valuable timber furnish an arti
Gle of export that is wanted in all part:
of the world, Thirty years ago Puget
Sounds first saw-mill was built. To
day there are numerous towns IN
which lumber-sawing is the main indus
try. In 1881 100000 cubic feet of
lumber was exported. The amount
sawed in 1882 is estimated at over 800,
000, 900 feet. The mills are nearly all
lighted by electricity, and are the scene
forms of industry have arisen out of the
abundance of timber, including cooper
age and shipbuiiding.
Among recent sett ers in this favored
region are some of the Russian-Jew
immigrants, and reports received from
their settlements give good ground for
believing in a successful issue to their
agricultural experiments. Altogether,
both Oregon and Washington territories
seem to be thriving to much greater
degree than California, their southern
neighbor, and are attracting compare
lively larger share of immigration.

A Remarkable Man.

Stephen B. Todd, wealthy bachelor
of Dunellen. died last week aged 70. He
was in many respects most remark
able man. He was almost literally the
father of DuneIlen, owning all the land
on which the village was constructed.
His reverence for his parents attracted
the attention of all who knew him. No
creature, not even a chicken, owned
by his parents was ever sold or killed;
all were kept until they died of old age.
He had a COW now % years Of age, most
carefully nourished and housed because
it was calf his mother had raised. The
old rockaway in which his father
and mother rode has been carefully in
closed in his barn, and to his death no
one had ever been permitted to use 1T.
Every little article used by his mother
he seemed to almost worship and to
cherish with reverence. Although he
was very economical. he was very kind
hearted and kept stove in his barn and
a man to attend to it in order to keep
his cattle comfortable. His cattle fol-
lowed him about the fields like children.

happy couple who had been securely
tied up with the old fashioned matri-
monial slip moose at Corning yesterday.
They were on their way to Lenox, we
believed, to spend the transports Of de-
light that are supposed to attend upon
the period knGsn as the honeymoon. II
one can judge from their actions they
had started in we'll They were very
happy, and the bride didn't seem to
have any more appetite than silk can

that the important events had failed to
affect his astronomical powers. Fried

were as brightly happy, and didn't seem

snrineCl Cleaning.

1t is nearly the time for lifting carpets,
and although once more the north wind
sighs and the mud puddles freeze over,
every housekeeper knows that winter
can't last very long. A carpet ought tc
be lifted every spring be carried away
and thoroughly cleaned as no amateur
carpet beaten can dol and the floor where
on it has lain 10, these many months
scrubbed. summed and disin.fected Yell
low fever, scarlet fever, typhoid fever
and smallpox, with all the attendant
army of lesser fevers, are principally
caused by our criminally careless neg
lect. We know a floor is damp, and have
long ago noticed the mold and saw bugs,
but the carpet is Brussels, and don't
need to be lifted every season.
Besides the dampness dirt will col.
lect. If You do not believe this, inspect
closely the edges of your carpet and the
corners; there you will find collection
which no care can quite prevent. Dust
is a retainer of the germs OF sickness,
and joins with the defective drainage in
setting up serious opposition to all the
prescriptions which you have so con-
scIentiously bought of your Doctor There
is great deal of Importance to be at
tached to your spring cleaning.
The beds, for ms ance, after the long
confinement of the winter, will stand any
amount of summing. II you have a good
grass plot don't fail to let your bed and
table linen have the benefit of those
light March showers, which properly
belongs to April, but which, like the
My flowers, occasionally steal the
march upon us, and come ahead of time.
Pillow ticks ought to be renewed, and
the feathers taken away and cleaned.
Green feathers are always risky, and
the young housekeeper should avail her
self of tie experience of the veterans,
or she is apt to get wormy feathers on
her hands. AS much of the
health of the family depends
on the condition of the beds, house
keepers should give this department
special attention. The seeds of catarrh
are often found in the damp, improperly
aired sheets. Pillow ticks must be re-
newed, not washed, as the loss Of the
manufacturers starch causes the cloth
to sift.
1t is very indiscreet housewife that
lifts all her carpets at once thus spelling
the family comfort and SO disorganizing
matters that many things are lost. 1t is
said that three moves are equal to fire
and so are three house cleanings for mat
ter of that if conducted without system.
Let ore room be taken, the carpet re-
moved, walls scraped, calcomined, pa
pered, painted and then after the fur
niture has been thoroughly repaired
and summed let it he put in perfect order
before another is undertaken. Thus
everything is kept in its proper depart
ment and the father of the family need
scarcely know that the dreaded reign of
the scrub-brush has commenced. Be
lavishly prodigal with your carbolic acid
and chloride Of lime. The outer houses,
drains cellars, all should have special
care.
