We are informed that the common
asparagus beetle appeared the past sum
mer in such vast numbers In New Jersey
that the owners of some rather extensive
plantations of this excellent vegetable
have almost concluded to abandon its cul
tivation in consequence of the dcpreda
tions of the insect named It seems al
most unaccountable that any cultivatoF
Of asparagus should know how to quickly
destroy this well known pest, inasmuch
as 1t has been published hundreds OF
times during the past twenty years. The
remedy is dry caustic lime scattered over
the plants in the morning when wet with
dew. The larva of the asparagus beetle
is small, soft, naked, thin skinned
grub, and the least particle of lime com
ing in contact with this causes almost in
stant death. If the grubs are killed there
will be no beetles.-American Agricul
turist.

An effort has been made of late to boom
Alfalfa or Lucerne throughout the coun-
try Now the truth in nutshell is just
this There is no better plant known for
producing a large amount of green fodder
and many also use it for hay, but owing
to the woody fiber of its stem it cannot
rank along with timothy, clover and many
other well known hay grasses. 1t grows
best in warm climates and deep rich soil,
and it Is not suited to hard pan or close,
compact clay soil or any thin land where
its long top roots would meet with OBJ
structions 1t may be sown broadcast or
In drills, but in either case the ground
should be rich and well prepared, and not
of a weedy character, The first growth
of the young plants is slow and feeble,
hence it is usually better to SOW in quite
narrow drills that can be kept clear of
weeds the first season. Lucerne has been
grown to small extent in the northern
states, but seems specially well adapted
to the south. From ten to twenty pounds
of seeds will be required to the acre, ac-
cording to the manner of sowing.

Along the Country Road.

Make certain that your seed is clean.
There is nothing more disastrous thar
sowing foul seed.
Cover unsightly places with vines,
Where grape vines will not serve, there
are many annual vines that can be easily
grown.
Don't select all the disagreeable bits Of
work for the boys you wish to keep on
the farm.
Sick hens should be taken from the rest
Of the brood, and be carefully cared for
separately.
Lettuce requires to be grown in q moist
soil and in cool weather; for this reason
the best is obtained only in the spring or
early summer.
To grow carrots to perfection there is
needed good, light and well enriched
sandy loan.
Linseed cake, in moderate quantities, is
good for milk cows.
The pig on many dairy farms is an i'm.
portant item.

The Art of Compelling Others.

The graduate of the school as he stands
on the threshold of the world see on
every hand wealth, luxury, extrava-
gance, splendor. But, curiously enough,
these good things of life are not in pos
session of the skilled workers who pro-
duce them. They are mostly in the
hands of those who, like himself, can not
produce single thing they want or need.
He naturally begins to study the art of
compelling others to produce things for
hinl.-Charles II. Ham.

Training Grape Vines.

For training the vine the Kniffen trellis
is popular one and easily made, consist
Ing of two wires stretching from posts;
the lower wire three and half feet from
the ground and the upper one two feet
higher After the first seasons growth
the vine should be cut off just above the
lower wire, then bud on each side is
trained along the wire for the lower pair
Of arms and in due time the upper pair Of
AIMS is formed from a bud trained up
HRht to the upper wire In the same way,

line the accompanying cut may prove sug-

The plan presented is designed for a

MILK COWS AND OTHER CATTLE.
Prices OF Milk Cows-Extension Of Cattle
Growing--The Outlook.

From 1870 to 1884 the annual estimates
of prices of milk COWS and other cattle
advanced yearly, and the decline has since
been uninterrupted, without exception for
either class of stock The fall in milk
cows has been over per cent, and in
oxen and other cattle a decline Of 10 per
cent. in the last year
The extension Of cattle growing, ac-
cording to Statistician Dodge's recent re-
port, has been normal, corresponding very
nearly with increase Of population.
Though prices have been low \and heavy
losses have occurred in some Of the ranch

no definite place where he can be
found, except it may be at his private
Office.
Any business to be satisfactorily
conducted must be provided with
proper facilities for prompt and eff
cient service, and that this has not
heen the case with the Revenue
Office, and cannot be the case under
the present method, goes without
saying. Much unnecessary trouble
will be entailed upon our citizens
having business with that Office until
is provided with a local habitation
and permanent one. In the opinion
of this board such permanent offices
should be established in Govern.
ment building in this city.
UNITED STATES LAND OFFICE.
One of the most substantial evi-
dences of the rapidly increasing settle
ment and prosperity of this part ol
California is found in published re.
ports of the Commissioners of the
Land Office. The volume of business
transacted in the district, of which
l1OS auStlcS lS bllC CCAtCIt aoCOldtCl,t
requires that the office should be Cen
trally located, conveniently arranged
and that proper accommodations be
furnished for the large number OF oul
people who daily have business before
the Register and Receiver.
The rooms at present occupied by
the officers are small, not well ar
ranged, and in no respect suitable fol
the business brought before the office
In common with the other govern
ment offices, this one should be 10
Gated in a building erected, owned
and maintained by the government.
In view of the facts submitted, this
Board of Trade respectfully urges upor
Congress an appropriation Of $3.50, ,00(
for the erection of government
building in the city of Los Angeles
and that this appropriation be made
at the present session.
In the opinion of this Board O.
Trade these facts conclusively show
