An Oregon wheat grower gives the follow

three pounds OF the vitrp, letting 1t stand II

work may be done on wet days, or before
sowing time. as the grain Is ~uninjured by
standing after the blns vitrioI application"
The quantity mentioned should be sufi-
Gent for 30 bushels Of seed.

cotton Seed for Horses and Mules.

A southern farmer tells a curious bit Of
experience under this head. He had two
men farming distant fields on the shares. He
furnished the mules and their feed also. His
~''croppsrsn carried the mules feed for mid
day with them In the morning. rr rr
II was troubled about how to manage the
feeding, - said the farmer, Aas 1 knew that il
/ give them tho corn for the mules I would
not sell them much for bread. m aIf0.r
The idea was that the scaly fellows would
steal enough corn from the mules dinner to
largely keep themselves in hoe-cake. The
cool Inconsistencies with which the farmer
tells it Is very nmusing. At last he devised
a feed for the animals that fixed both them
and their drivers. He mixed two bushels of
corn, two bushsls OF oats and one bushel Of
cotton seed, and had them ground all to-
gether. He fed the work mules on this. They
liked H., kept perfectly well and wers sleeker
and fatter than the stock he fed at home

Here Is another gardeners way OF making
the bed:
Do you want an asparagus bedi It is the
easiest thing in the world to have one, Spade
up the plot as deep as possible. Mellow the
son and make drills lengthwise every four
feet and one inch deep. In these sow the
seed two inches apart. One ounce OF seed,
which viii cost % cents, will suffice for FIVE
drills, 10 feet long. Now, it Is only necessary
that this plot should be kept free from weeds
and the soil friable-l In the fall the he'd
should be covered with we'll rotted farm
manure.
The plants should be thinncd out TO is
inches apart in the drills next spring. We
have in this way an asparagus bed that,
without the 1aborious old plan OF loading the
soil with manure two feet in depth, that the
plantation may last a lifetime; . without the
labor and expense of transplanting, will in
three years give as vigorous sprouts as If the
one year plants were transplanted or brought.
OF course, the land must be well drained,
and 1t is better to select a sandy loam or, in
the absence of it, to mingle pure sand with
the soil. l.lNtf-

Some time since, ono early September day,
