How / Raise Asparagus.

1 did no trcnching with the spade,
but plowed the ground as deep as
possible, running twice in the same

blowing. After narrowing, marked
the rows four feet apart with the
plow, running several times in the

way. Then l raked the dirt from tho
bottom of the furrow with the hoe and
placed the plants two feet apart in the
row and covered them. The plants

short and spread them out each way.
Should 1 plant again l would set the
plants four feet by four, with the
crowns four to six inches below the

shallow; there will be many small and
worthless shoots. We cut some q year
after planting, and for more than a
dozen wears we have kept the patch cut
clear till near the last OF June. Then
we let asparagus and ~foxtail, if any,
grow. Nothing more is done till tho
Ground is dry the next spring. Then
We cover the patch thickly with straw,
which we have in plenty, and burn up

we harrow thoroughly, mixing the
ashes with the top soil. Then we APP

The only cultivation it gets is a good

The Utility of Pain.

The utility of pain is Del in the
membrane which sweeps the surface of
the eye. for instance in several animals,
whenever any irritant particle is
brought into contact with these delicate
structures. The pain caused by the
foreign body sets up ~retiexly a muscular
contraction in this membrane, and thus
it is brought across the eye, sweeping
the surface, and so the offending matter
is removed. When the foreign body is
too fixed to be SO removed, disorgan-
ization Of the eye follows, and amid q
general destruction of the organ the
irritant matter is got rid of. Destruc-
ton of the eye in these animals
would he - common occurrence if it
were not for this muscular arrangement,
snd pain is the e%xcitant; it is, as it
were, the finger that pulls the trigger,
and the machinery already provided
and prepared is set in action thereby.
In man the suffering caused by a for
eign body in the eye calls the attention
to the part and leads to its removal.
If it were not for the pain so produced
irremediable mischief would often be
permitted to go on unchecked, because
uanoticed. Not only does pain SO de-
fend the eye from the injurious effects of
foreign bodies, but it often serves to pro-
tect the delicate organ from overwork;
and where pain is so produced rest is
given to the part, and recovery is insti-
tuted. Especially is this seer where
the eyes are not an absolute pair, and
long perusal of a page strains them.
Proper spectacles making the eyes a
pair give prompt and permanent relief.
The grave diseases of the eye are those
which are painless, where incipient dis
ease is aggravated by persistent action.
all of which would be avoided if pain
were a consequence OF the malady. :

STONES IN THE KIDNEY

Expelled by the Use of DIR. David Kenne-
dy's Favorite Remedy (of Rondout, N.
Y.)-after Several Able Physicians had
Failed, and the Patient was Nearly
Ready to Abandon Hope-The Substance
of a Long and Grateful Letter.
'>AsssRNgsa .
One of the most remarkable cases that
has ever been brought to the notice of the
public is that of Nh. j. S. Beach, of Stone
Ridge, Ulster Co., N. Y. Mr.. Beach had
suffered since October 18th, 1874, from the
presence of Calculus or Stone in the right
Kidney. No less than seven physicians
were employed at different times, to whom
Mr.. Beach paid hundreds of dollars for
medical treatment, with only temporary
relief.
By the urgent solicitations of his friends
he was induced to try DIR. DAVID
KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY.
He experienced a marked Improvement
from the first day he began to use the
medicine: on the 18th of September he
voided a stone as large as could be passed
through the natural channel.
Mr.. Beach concludes a long letter to DR..
Kennedy by saying: , 1t will always af-
ford me pleasure to recommend the FA-
VORlTE REMEDY to those who may be
suffering from difficulties of the Kidneys
and Bladder, or any disorders arising from
an impure state of the blood

How He Saved a Bank.

81 saved a bank from bursting once
myself" remarked a se~edy-looking old
chap, as he laid down q morning paper,
which he had perused second-handed.
II admit l amt very wealthy now, but
years ago, before my troubles come on
me, l had large interests in manufactur-
ing and banking. l was President Of
the bank in our town when there was a
little panic and people made a run. L
went in to see how they were getting
along, just as the excitement began,
when I found they couldn't stand it I'M
til the close of banking hours. The
directors wanted to suspend, but l OBJ
iected. l told 'em to leave it to me.
Happened it was payday at my shop.
Hustled up there. put Il flea in the en-
gineer's ear, and in five minutes the en-
CINE broke down. The men were glad
to get a holiday. but wanted their
money. 1 told 'em we didn't have the
currency ready, but would give EN-
checks on the bank. My clerks made
out the checks in a hurry, and weren't
over-particular about losing any time
figuring out odd cents. Well, my two
hundred and more men rushed for the
bank, and by the time the big deposit
ors had heard of the run and had got
round there was a big line in front OF
'em. 1t took three hours to pay Oft my
men with currency from my safe at the
shop, which l carried in the back door
of the bank. In that three hours we
raised enough money to pay every dol
lar due our depositors, and the bank
was saved. "-Chacago Herald.

Agricultural Patents.

No doubt farmers have derived meal
culable benefits through the inventions
of mechanics and the work of the man
! ufacturers of patented tools and imple-
ments. The number of patents which
have been granted for inventions which
relate to agricultural processes and
domestic apparatus and convenience
amount to many thousands. The fol-
lowing list numbers the most of them,
viz: Harrows and diggers, 2,421; plows,
$685.; seeders and planters, 1868; har-
vesters, 5000; dairy appliances, 2,429;
fences, 1855; mills and machines for
thrashing, ETC., GAO; presses, etc.,
2,DS; implements for garden and Or
chard, 6S2; management of cattle, etc.,
1922; total, $1,000. In addition to this
vast number there are 14,O21 patents
relating to household matters in exist
ence, Of which 1898 pertain to the
laundry, and 2,153 to beds and bed
ding. Besides all these, there are 1,2O7
patents relating to baths and closets,
1856 to pumps, 3,769 to water distribu-
ton, 5,254 to lamps an6 gas-titting, and
1928 to stoves and heating apparatus.
Very much of all the labor of brain
and hand in this mass of invention and
manufacture is doubtless of no practical
use; but, on the other hand, so much
of it is of indispensable value to us, that
were farmers suddenly deprived of it
all agriculture would be brought to ~
dead stop and the framework would
cease. Even the light, useful hoes would
have to be dispensed with, and the
farmer would have to dig holes with a
! sharp stick burned to a point in the fire
to plant his corn and potatoes. While
we gratefully acknowledge all this, we
must, on the other hand, point to the
| fact that the manufacturers at least
if not the inventors-have been repaid
in a munificent manner, as hundreds Of
millionaires who owe their fortunes to
their profits in this direction might
testify. So that while the farmers have
been benefited they have Cancelled all
obligation byhaving paid for everything
they have received, and, on the whole,
perhaps to the extent of three times or
more the actualnecessary value to afford
a fair adequate return for benefits re-
ceived.
But at the same time the farmers
have been harassed beyond patient en-
durance by a flock of vultures which
have lowered around this grand army of
p~atentees, and have swooped down
upon them and made them a prey. BY
deceit and false representations articles
which have been fraudulently patented
or otherwise in some cases-havo
been sold to farmers at full prices, os-
tensibly as having been not patented,
and soon after claims have been made
for heterogeneous of the patents which
the farmers have been obliged to pay.
It is this injurious operation of the
patent laws which farmers object to,
and all they ask is that the purchaseri in
good faith Of any patented article should
not be held liable for infringement, but
that this burden should be thrown upon
the real offender-the maker and seller
of such articles. With this amendment
farmers would make nc complaints in
regard to the present patent laws, al
though some other changes might be
desirable.-M. Y. Times.

1t is not an Alternative. It restores the blood
