On the new bonnets all the new
trimmings are lowered, though they
are by no means fat. But the tow

given place to soft, wide loops, put on
to give a broader effect. Very thick
aigrettes will be used again, and these
are as high AS ever, but too fine to b.

Easy Asparagus.

President j. M. Smith, of the Wis

home and market gardening is Justly
celebrated, gives a report OF his as
paragus which ought TO encourage
every occupant of land to provide d
supply Of this unequalled early green.
His best plantation is twenty years
old and yields annually crop OF as
fine quality as was ever raised in the
United States. The story OF the sim
pie way '4this splendid bed'' was made
and is cared for-as told in ''The
Farmers Review" should be infuen-
tial against the mistaken idea so
widely prevalent, that the start and
culture are difficult, whereas, in fact,
no other product isso easily obtained
and rerpeGuated.

heavily, then ploughed, turning the

Rutabagas for Stock.

4 correspondent writing TO the
American Agriculturist says: For
nearly fifty years have raised ruta-
bagas to feed to farm stock, and have
fed them raw to cattle and sheep of
Of all ages. / have also fed them
cooked to hogs. When have plenty
OF them. I iced fatteniug cattle and
sheep all they will eat up clean; also
in similar quantities to sheep giving
milk II a large quantity of rutaba-
gas be given to COWS giving milk. an
unpleasant flavor will be given to the
milk and butter. The rutabaga will
not bloat or scour cattle or sheep like
potatoes, and I have never had an
animal injured by eating all that gave
him. When fattening cattle or sheep
on ruta bagas, feed them night and
morning. If led in connection with
meal or grain, feed the rutabagas at
one time in the day; if in the morning,
the grain or meal at night. My ex-
perience has been that more benefit is
derived from feeding roots and grain
together than in feeding each exclu-
sively by itself. When roots are fed
to animals kept on dry hay and
grain, they do not require as much
water as when no roots are fed. If
the animals are fed all the roots they
will eat, but little, if any, water will
be drunk by them. Ii the rutabagas
are cut fine, young calves and lambs
will learn to eat them as soon as they
will learn to eat hay.

ever, Mary seemed to realize that she
had been lmmodest, and she walked
on, as if determined that he should
reap no advantage from her remark.
John made several efforts to recall
the opportunity, but was baffled
every time. Then he determined to
wait until they stood beneath theg
light, but when they reached the parlor
the light seemed to burn more bright
ly than ever before, and his courage
departed. Once he made an effort,
but the first word that passed his lips
was ''woes," and the consciousness
that he was laundering caused him to
blush and pause before irving again.
But a sweet "What were you gong to
say?" completed his embarrassment,
and he answered 'Nothing," and in
despair prepared to go.
A moment later, as they stood at
the parlor door exchanging the last
words, and as Johns hand was on the
knob, Mary turned her blue eyes to
him and said with a laugh:
"You'll besure to get home without
falling, for you'll have no one to drag
you down.
Johns face crimsoned. He was
about to protest she hadn't dragged
him down. when he thought OF his
lost opportunity after they had fall
en-. He had feeling that the SEN
tence he had been trying to say all
evening would be singulariy importu-
nate now, but he was determined not
to lose another chance. Despite that
feeling and in sheer desperation he
gasped:
Mary, let us woes our mutual
shares always
Mary looked puzzled. For a mo.
ment she didn't grasp the purport Of
the misquoted sentence. When it
dawned upon her a flood of crimson
passed over he, face, her eyes fell, and
she whispered, eyes"
And John, with his newly acquired
courage, put his arms around her and
drew her to his breast. Then John
was at peace, and Mary was perfectly
happy. The question had been ask
ed and answered, and she had fitting
ly blushed, besides waving the priv.
lege of leap year.

their natural positions; this is very
easy to do. After the plants were
SO placed the earth was drawn back
into the burrows and pressed down
with the feet, and the bed was finished.
Since that time it has been kept free
of weeds and grass, and every spring
tops have been cut off and burned, d
good coat OF manure put on and dug
under, using the common six-tined
manure forks for the purpose, being
careful not to disturb the roots of the
plants. The result has been that
since it came to its best, about three
years setting. it has never once failed
to yield a magnificent crop.
we cut some from it the second
year. but not much. In cutting care
should be taken to cut it clean as long
as it is cut DIT all. AS market crop
it is a profitable one until there is a
surplus, and then I have found it to
be as near worthless as any crop we
grow. To my own family and visit
ing friends. it is one of the most deli
cious dishes that come from the gar
den, and it is rare that large dish of
OF it does not find its way to our Ia
bic at least once each day from It's
first appearance in early spring until
the season is nearly over, or until our
second sewing OF peas are at their
best. One thing more. The reason
for leaving the tops OF the beds with
out cutting until spring is: When the
snow falls the tops catch and hold it.
It remains there until it melts and is
the best mulch for the beds that we
can have. 1t always leaves the around
in the best OF order for early working.
and the plants can be started some
days earlier in this way than by any
other open ground method that I
have ever tried"

Onions From Seed.

G. w. c., Olive Branch, ILL.,, wants
directions for raising onions from
seed; preparing ground, cultivating,
etc. Would new ground be better
than old?
To answer the last question first, we
would prefer old ground to newt prop
erly fertilized and free from weeds.
A clayey loan is probably the best
soil. although we have seen large crops
900 bushels to the acre) grown on
light sandy loan and on a deep
swamp muck, well drained. One OF
the requisites is that the soil be free
from weed seed; if it is not it may cost
more to weed the onions than they will
amount to.
The ground should be made fertile
with we'll rotted horse, COW, sheep,
swine Or hen manure; all are
good, and wood ashes are a good
addition. The soil should be
plowed fine and made very fine with
harrow and roller and raked thor
oughly with q steel rake. The seed
can be best sowed with hand drill
in rows from eleven to fifteen inches
wide, using about four pounds to all
acre. The seed should be sowed quite
shallow and either rolled down we'll
with garden roller or trodden in with
the feet. Just as soon as the rows
can be followed run scuffle-hoe be-
tween them and weed in the rows
Deep hoeing is not required, but fire.
quency is desirable Unless the
onions stand very thick in the rows
It is not visable to thin them, they
will crowd one another out and all
grow upon the top of the ground.

Heroic.
Youths Companion.

In the history Of the State OF
Georgia one OF the most heroic figures
is that OF a Sergeant Jasper, who
served in the War of the Revolution
in the Second South Carolina Regi-
ment, under General Moultrie.
Jasper was a freckled, red-haired,
uneducated country lad OF singularly
quiet but firm bearing. In the attack
made on Sullivan's Island by the
British, a flag staff, cut by a ball, fell
outside OF the works. Jasper sprang
forward, and, under shower OF bull.
let's, nailed his own colors to the par
apet.
For this act Of gallantry he was
offered promotion, but he declined it,
saying, 81 have not the education nor
manners beftting an officer
General Moultrie then granted him
q rowing commission and placed six
men under him, who were known dur
ing the war as "Jasper's command"
Scarcely a week passed that this troop
did not bring in prisoners captured by
the most reckless daring.
On one occasion, Jasper with one
comrade, Newton. entered the British
lines IN disguise. In Savannah,
he overheard q woman, an
American, with a child in her
arms, bitterly lament the condi-
ton Of her husband who was held a
prisoner in irons for desertion OF the
Royal cause. He was deeply touched
with ner distress and with his COM
rade resolved to free her husband.
They lay in wait near a spring
about two miles from the town, which
the guard who had the prisoners in
charge must pass. The guard, consist
ing OF two officers and eight privates,
arrived about noon, with five prison
ers in irons. The day being hot, they
LETT the prisoners, as Jasper had ex-
pected they would and hurried to the
spring for water, having previously
stacked their guns by the roadside.
Jasper and Newton crept out from
the thicket, seized their arms, knock
ed the irons from the prisoners, and
brought the guard into the American
camp.
A few months after this feat, during
the attack on Savannah, the country
lad fell, mortally wounded. while try
ing to place his colors on a redoubt.
For one OF his many bold exploits a.
sword had been presented to Jasper
by Governor Rutledge. He now un.
buckled his sword and gave 1t to New
ton, saving, ''Eake it to my father,
and tell him I have not dlshonorei
it,
A county in Georgia is named for
this hero.

why They Have Not Married.

Nutritious Chocolate,

Oh the three beverages, tea, coffee
and chocolate, the latter is by far the
most Nutritious. It is also, from its
large percentage OF fatty substance,
the most difficult OF digestion. A cup
OF chocolate is a very invigorating re.
treatment, even for weak persons, il
their digestive organs are strong.
Cardinal Rlchelleu was a great choco-
late drlnker, and attributed his good
health in his declining years to this
drink. Tea and coffee possess the nu-
tritive quality only in the very slight
est degree. Tegumin in coffee berries
and albumen IN tea leaves are in very
small proportions. Tea aud coffee,
though not III themselves difficult of
digestion, tend to disturb the as
simlation OF albuminous substances
by precipitating them from their dis
solved state. Milk if mixed with either
OF these is more difficult OF digestion
than when taken alone. Tea and COT
fee both tend to excite the activity Of
the brain and nerves. Tea, it is said,
increases the power OF understanding
impressions received, and helps the
liking OF the attention upon a subject.
Coffee with some temperaments clears
and brightens the mental perceptions.
1t is scarcely necessary to add that
excessive drinking OF either one is like
burning stove or furnace at white
heat all the time, very soon the iron
is burst out. When the nerves are
burnt out they are rather harder to
repair than the iron.

Amateur Gardening.
From the Western Rural.

At the annual meeting Of the Michi
gan Horticultural Society, Mr.. Root,
OF Ohio, said: when l was a lad
was turned over to my mother to
tend garden. We made the garden a
source Of profit that surprised the ma
tives. Istill garden for the fun of it,
but my surplus is sold to those less
fortunate, and it is delivered by wag-
on in a fresh condition. We have
proven that peas are at their best
when shelled and cooked Immediately
after picking, and Strawberries are
worth 3 or 4 cents a quart more when
picked fresh from the vines. l make
some m oney by taking advantage OF
these facts
