Asparagus Culture.

One of the most common errors In
asparagus culture is the manner in
which fcrtil izers are applied in setting
out! The plant having no tap-root
does not require the manure to he
placed very far from the surface. This
is very prevalent error, by the way,
in the application of fertilizers gem
orally. With asparagus the nourish-
ment required should bo spread on and
near the surface. rs the rains will do
the work of carrying TO the plant
what is desired in the way of fcrliliz-
crs Spread your manure heavily and
not with stint on the surface, or. rs it
is generally designated. 'tcp dress
ing" and good results will follow II
tho young plants are placed above
the tilizer the rains will carry tho
elements necessary to prom otc tho
growth If the plant away from it and
unsatisfactory results will follow.
Also. another error should be avoi led:
Don't plant your asparagus too thick.
Recent au; h,rties suggest four foot
each way. which of course is for field
cnlur; but even for garden culture
three feet each way, or two by three.
is quite close enough. Better have II
few plants with strong, vigorous stools
than large number If plants sending

and which are utterly unfit for market
purposes. = Cor. DiGie Farmer.

Clover in Georgia.

In East Tennessee red clover was
sown on the poorest land with oats in
the spring, or with wheat in the fall.
Land plaster was sown ut from one
hundred to two hundred pounds per
acre. and although lines one land. the
clover rarely grow high enough to cut
without TIL, plaster, bat was luxuriant
with it. We did not cut or pasture it
the first year, and the second year it
was cut IN June for hay, and pasturcd

the third year it was cut or pasturel
again, and the second or seed crop
turned under Tho land was then
sown in wheat, ro lucing from six
teen t. twenty bushels per acre, and
tho clover re-seeding itself as cften as
sown down. AMI often after it was
cultivated in corn it would come up
ihickly from seed that had
simply been thrown to the sur
face. Clover sods always produced
fine crops of any grain that followed
and the land rapidly improved. From

Failure of Milk in Cows.

The sudden decrease Of milk in a
COW is always sure indication of
something wrong which should be
sought for and remedied without de.
lay. The first thing looked to should
be the udder, which may be found
hard, hot, and swollen in whole or in
part. II this is the case fermentation
with hot water, gentle friction with a
soft towel, and rubbing with camphor-
ated soap liniment should not be de-
layed. The COW may have overeaten
and the stomach may be disordered,
when pint Of raw linseed oil, given
by means OF long-necked bottle, will
be useful. II the COW has been chased
or worried, this loss OF milk will hap
pen. and then rest will be needed.
Some cows shrink in milk suddenly
when they become in calf. In general,
and without knowing the precise cause
OF the loss Of milk, 1t will be safe to
give the oil as above mentioned and
afterward warm bran slop. and keep
her quiet for few days. A COW which
suddenly shrinks her milk and does
not recover as soon as she is again In
calf is not worth milking.-M Y

Hints on Cooling Milk.

Simply setting the can OF milk in q
tub or tank Of cold water to cool It,
while 1t remains on the farm, be the
water ever so cold, Is not enough, for
the philosophical reason that the re-
suit Is, II the milk is not stirred, to
throw up the cream very fast, through
the rapid process Of cooling; and that
forms an oily surface that acts as a
partially impervious cover Of the
milk, SO that the odor and heat of the
center Of a large can are retained, to
hasten to early taint and decay the part
not affected by the coldness of the
water. What 1t needs. In hot weather,
is a stirring Of the milk so as to equal
ize the temperature and at the same
time repress the tendency Of the cream
to separate from the milk. In cold
weather, while there Is no danger from
taint or sourness, the same stirring
should be done, especially II the milk
is to be ma de into cheese, for the
cream once separated can never be in
so good condition for cheese making
as 1t would be II kept az near natural
emulsiication as possible. For milk
that is to be centrifuged we do not sup
pose 1t makes any difference whether
1t Ii stirred or not II only kept sweet,
for the machine takes out the fat any
way ,-Hcards Dairyman.

There are two ways TO expend COW
force. to work to get food, or to work
up food. There Is loss in one and gain
in the other.
Turkeys always seek high roost-
ing places, and become thereby ex.
posed. Provide a high roost for them
in an open shed and conflne them
therein for few days, and they will
resort thereto at night
The sheep improves the soil, as IL
we'll understood, and II, in addition to
that, we have greater profit than we
have from the COW, we can begin tc
realize that there is great deal in the
old Spanish adage that 1.-THE sheep's
foot is golden" though that originally
applied to the improvement Of the
soil.
If threshing has been done early
while the weather was hot It will need
close watching and occasional stirring.
There Is always considerable damp
ness in new grain, and much OF this
does not get out Of 1t until It Is frozen
dry In the winter. With the tompera-
ture outside the granary at 80 or 80 it
does not take much moisture or much
time to make grain moisty.
Hogs are expensive unless we'll
bred. The best breeds of hogs are
quiet, seldom restless and sleep a
great portion Of their time. The
quiet hog is the one that converts the
food into fat. The more active the
hog the greater the cost. Dry quar-
ters, with close shelter from the winds
and u soft bed OF straw, will pay
nearly as well as the preparation Of
the food.
Farmers are especially careless
about protecting their wells from con-
tamination from barnyards, stables,
cisterns and privies, and, when in dry
seasons their wells become low, the
danger from drinking the water be-.
comes very great. At such seasons,
to ward off disease, II the water must
be used, let 1t be we'll boiled before
drinking. 1t may be made palatable
in tea with little lemon juice, Jelly
or other favoring.
"A stunted pig never fully regains
what it has lost. The trouble is that
the pig poorly fed has his diges-
tion impaired, so that efforts to force
him by subsequent high feeding only
make the matter worse. Over-feed-
ing with pigs is more common fault
than is generally supposed. A young
pig will always be stunted II fed with
all the corn or corn-meal it can eat
SWineherd.
Make as far as possible all the
needed preparations for winter. It is
best to have all the fruits and vege-
tables stored before light freeze, and
to do this the work must be commenced
in time. While very light covering
will be all that is necessary to protect
II left exposed, considerable damage
will often be done. 1t does not harm
apples particularly to freeze il they
can be thawed out gradually, while II
they hang on the trees and are frozen
their qualities are often considerably
injured. Pears and grapes should not
be even subjected to hard frosts. Irish
potatoes, II left in the ground, will
stand hard frost, but should not be
frozen. 1t is better, with this kind OF
work, to be week ahead rather than
