Asparagus.

This is one of the earliest vegetables.
and in the early spring is lust what the
human system needs, being diuretic,
slightly laxative. and produ ing healthy
action. Many people do not raise it. or
would not eat it if they did. But they
can not claim that they are too old
fashioned 10 take up with any such new
articles of Diet. 1t is among the oldest
of vegetable diets. Cato. who wrote two
centuries before the Christian era. and
Callumeltus one century afterward,
speak of it as a valuable esculent for the
table. And history records the fact
that Augustus Cesar was particularly
fond OF it. and gave positive orders for
his subjects to cultivate it more extern
sively. 1t is one of the earliest raised
and most certain crops. To sow the
seed requires considerable time before a
crop can be cut, as il should not be cut
until the third year. Those who are in
a hurry should buy plants two years old,
prepare the ground by deep spading or
blowing, pulverize fine aud fertilize
freely with well rotted manure. 1t
used to be The practice to dig down and
lay a stone or brick foundation. to keep
the top roots from running down into
unproductive soil. But tn has been
abandoned. PGlverize freely fife n or
eighteen inches deep, mixing richly
with manure. When making a perma-
nent bed use one or two year old roots,
and plant four inches deep fifteen inches
apart each way. Then keep clean of
weeds. Salt has been recommended as
a good fertilizer for asparagus, but this
is partially mistaken idea. And yet
it is very useful to sow sat freely on the
he'd, as it etiectualy keeps down the
weeds, and, as aspara us is maratime
plant, the salt does not in ure it. In
the TALL clean off the old stalks and
cover three or four inches deep with
barnyard manure. Next spring rake of
the coarse part of the manure and fork
the balance in.

they should be required. by gentle but
firm government, to eat, as medicine.
Asparagus and tomatoes should be
eater regularly in their season. to save
doctor bills. insure better health and
frequently save lives from being sacri-
feed to bilious and malarial diseases.
And there is no excuse for any family
not having asparagus. 1t is a safe and

as the weather moderates, little by

time to promote comfort-nO more, no

On warm days it is iudicious to lay
aside one garment, or to wear a thin
ner one. adding more at night. and on
the succeeding cooler days. 1t may
be needful t. change more than once
