In the United Staes the growing

change greatly for the better but which
no patriotic citizen can contemplate

How / Raise Asparagus.

I did no trenching with the spade,
but plowed the ground as deep a
possible, running twice in the same
furrow. l manured heavily with barn
ward manure both before aud after
blowing. After narrowing, l marked
the rows four feet apart with the
plow, running several times in the
same place and throwing the dirt each
way. Then / raked the dirt from the
bottom of the furrow with the hoe and
placed the plants two feet apart in the
row and covered them. The plants
were from Seeding bed of my own,
two years old. | cut the roots quite
short and spread them out each way.
Should plant again / would set the
plants four feet by four, with the
crowns four to six inches below the
surface. Less than four inches is too
shallow; there will be many small and
worthless shoots. We cut some wear
after planting, and for more than
dozen years 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 the
ground is dry the next spring. Then
VIC buO pdLOh Will SLANbU,
which we have in penty, and burn up
straw, stalks and seeds together. Then
we harrow thoroughly, mixing the
ashes with the top soil. Then we ap-
ply covering of barnyard manure,
and harrow again. We are now ready
to market asparagus ss soon as it starts.
The only cultivation it gets is good

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, 2,42l; plOwS,
$3.50; seeders and planters, 3,56S; har-
vesters, 6,606; dairy appliances, 2,429;
fences, 2,SS8; mills and machines for
thrashing, etc., $40; presses, etc,
2,70S; implements for garden and or
chard, 6S2; management of cattle, etc,
1,232; total, $1,000. In addition to this
vast number there are 4,021 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,
3. .156 to pumps, 3,769 to water distribu-
ton, 5.254 to lamps anu gas-ftting, and
S,23S 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 n
dead stop and the farm-work would
cease. Even the light, useful hoes would
have to be dispensed with, and the
farmer would have to dig holes with
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 ut least
if not the inventOrS-have been repaid
in munifcent manner, as hundreds Ol
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 by having paid for everything
thev have received, and, on the whole,
perhaps to the extent of three times or
more the actual necessary 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 flock of vultures which
have hovered around this grand army OF
patentees, and have swooped down
upon them and made them prey. By
deceit and false representations articles
whi ch have been fraudulently patented
or otherwise in some cases-have
been sold to farmers ut full prices, os-
tensibly as having been not patented,
and soon after claims have been made
for infringemeuts of the patents which
the farmers have been obliged to pay.
1t is this injurious operation of the
patent laws which farmers object to.
and all they ask is that the purchaser 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 no complaints in
regard to the present patent laws. al
though some other changes might be
desirable.-N. Y. Times.

Journal says: 1.-The best remedy for

which must be sewn close together upon

Root pruning of corn has had its
day, and cultivators to run deep TO
keep the roots low and make them
.'buShy," now find but few advocates;
none among those who have conducted
careful experiments to ascertain the
truth of the matter. While the plants
are small the culture may be Geep, but
as time elapseS it should be decreased.
so that by the time the corn is as high
as the waist the culture should be little
more than ''scufiing" the soil.-Ohio

FOnlentatlOnS,

The application of lamentations is a
very serious problem with many nurses,
who neither wish to scald their hands
nor to thwart the doctors intentions by
applying lukewarm water, and those
persons may be glad of the following
directions: Take strong towel OF
cloth, or piece of ticking, and pin or
tack deep hem in each end. Into
these run two short, strong sticks, VIC
say sticks, but anything will serve. We
have seen couple of iron spoons used.
and even small poker, such as is
called 'curate,' though this last Is
rather long for choice. Lay the towel,
or .wringer,' as it is technically called,
over a large basin, so that the sticks
hang outside; place the folded flannel
in the middle, and pour boiling water
over. The flannel can be easily
squeezed dry by one pair OF hands. and
if it is not made by the bedside. 1t can
be carried there without fear of cooling
in the wringer Sometimes opium or
tlrpentiue is to be added. The guam
tity of either to be used will be pre-
scribed bv the doctor, and it should be
sprinkled on the side of the flannel that
is to 90 next the skin, Immediately be-
fore Supplying it to the patient. The
flannel should be covered with wool and
oil-silk. just as poultice is ccTored.
Fomentations are. in many cases, as
efficacious as poultices, and they pos
sess, besides, the advantage of being
easier to make. and of costing prscti-
cally nothing, since the fannels can be
used repeatedly. For the very poor the
cost of linseed for poultices is often a
serious item. There is no danger OF
scalding if the flannel is squeezed so
dry that it cannot drip nor wet the
palm of the hand. ."-BOston Budget.

For Bald-Headed Men.

Science has made wonderful prog,
ress in the last few years, and after
awhile there will be no bald-heads, y

surgeons to reporter. 81 intend to
open a large office in New York, and if
there is bald-head in it in twelve
months it will not be nv fault"
"What has brought about this rapid
stride?" asked the astonished reporter.
"You must know that the scalp is
composed of three layers of skin; un-
derneath all these lies the root of the
hair. When the outer skin is embedded
with dandruff and grease and the fol-
licles closed, how is the root going to
sprout out? Well, l will tell you. 1t
can't. You have seen flowers droop
under a heavy formation of dirt and
snow? Well, when this weight is re-
moved the flower buds put forth under
the balmy influence of sunshine and
air, and so it is with the roots of the
hair when the outer skin is removed
o, yes; by my blistering process, the
outer skin is taken Of. just as the sun
burnt skin peels of your face when you
visit the country summer resorts. And
again, the scalp is loosened, the follicles
are opened, and the hair grows right
out. No, the roots of the hair never
die. 1t is popular impression that
they do. but it is erroneous. can
grow hair on the glossiest bald head
in New York, and am not afraid to
say So Cutting the hair Injuries it. L
have adopted the Partisan plan of barn
ing the hair. The hair is full of Life.
and when cut its vegetation oozes ont.
BY burning, just as you would SINCE a
cat, the end of the hair is closed and its
life and strength is thus thrown back
into the roots. OF course, among the
bald headed, men predominatc largely;
vet there are more bald-headed women
than you would imagine. The men
don't care, and do not wear false hair
But wouldn't bald headed woman in
a ballroom look con1ical? Must YOU
go? Well, come and see me when you
get bald-headed. IN Y. Nal and En-
