at the first favorable opportunity. Cover
them five to six inches deep in soil.
In making a selection OF the hive to

successful bee-keepers -.

No garden should be without bed of
parsley. Sow in rows fifteen inches
apart, as early as possible in the spring.
The land cannot be too rich. The seed
terminates slowly, and care must be
taken that the weeds do not smother
the young plants.
In making the asparagus bed, if it is
possible TO get the pillow down deep
enough, there is no necessity for using
the spade. The rows are planted four
feet apart, and the plants from fifteen
inches to two feet apart in the row. II
a crop IS wanted quickly it is planted
closer, but the bed does not last so long
1t will take all the manure you can af-
ford TO give it, and the finer it is the
better.
In planting early potatoes some days
may be gained by cutting the seed and
spreading 1t in a warm room until il
callouses and the bud begins to start,
and to avoid danger of freezing the seed
should be crowded down into the bot
tom of the furrow by stepping on il, and
covered with two inches OF partly rot
ted manure before the earth is put on.

Says a correspondent, have seen two
or three articles about kicking cows. l
send You the following remedy, which l
have tried and found successful: Take
a strong cord or small rope, make a
slip moose IN one end and draw tight
around the COW, Just in front of the nd
der. Il was told this by an old man.
| had large heifer that kicked badly
applied the rope as above and sat
right down and MIXED without any
further trouble. only applied il three
times and she never kicked afterward.
The civilizations of beets is simple
matter, requiring only rich land, thor
ough tillage and absolute freedom from
weeds. Sow as early in the spring as
the ground can be got in good working
order, and again every few weeks for
succession. Make the rows fifteen
inches apart and drop the seed an inch
apart in the row. If sown very early,
and especially if the soil is heavy and
cold, it is very desirable to SOW the seed
thick, say half inch apart. Thin the
plants before they begin to crowd each
other, letting the plants stand from
three to five inches apart in the row.
Bordering highways with shade trees
has pecuniary as well as aesthetic pro-
fits. Real est4te is always more valua-
BILE along neatly-shaded roads than else
where, other things being equal Set
tree wherever one can grow, without in
terfering with travel or crops. Our for
csts are being constantly destroyed, and
the good of the country demands the
growing of trees. Set them along walls
and permanent fences where they will
be out of the way. Plant them in all
rocky and sterile places, and especially
about the sources of creeks and along
their banks. One species of forest tree
should not be invariably selected. Select
those of different habits and sizes. Try
to mix them so that they will present a
pleasing appearance.
A lady writes to Babyhood:. / should

protecting babies from draughts while |
on the floor, consisting OF box two |
feet by three feet, and just high enough |
to allow baby to look over the top as |
she sits on the bottom of the box.
Fasten strong cleats to each end, and |
into these put good casters. Pad the /
sides and cover with pretty calico. Put |
several layers of newspaper on the bot

in reach. In it she learned to creep and |
to stand, the sides being so soft bump

amused her by rolling it about the floor.
T. didn't take as much room as baby and
her scattered playthings. 1t deserves
the name the children bestowed upon it

Sweeny is the popular name for
atrophy or shrinkage of the large mus
Gle of the shoulder. 1t is not disease,
but is the result of lameness, which
may exist in the foot. leg, or shoulder
Joint. The lameness causes the animal
to avoid using this shoulder, and as the
growth of the muscle fibres depends
upon the action of the muscle, when
this is inactive it stops growing and
wastes away. The seat of the lanieness
must be found by careful examination,
and proper treatment given to the
trouble in the locality where it exists.
This treatment of course depends upon i
the nature of the particular trouble. A
collar that is too large may easily pro-
duce the disturbance which results IN
the wasting of the muscle, by injuring
the points of the shoulder. and produc-
ing Inflammation in it. Rest from work,
and brisk rubbing over the shoulder
muscle with some simple liniment, will
gradually restore the part to its original /
fullness.-Er.n
