In the last issue of Vick'5 Monthly
Magazine attention is called to the re-
unarkable statement made at q late meet
ing of farmers in Boston, and corrobo-
rated by several asparagus growers. The
statement was that asparagus may be
grown on unmanured soil. On the aspar-
agus ground of Messrs. Coolidge, Joshua
and John, who grow some of the best
asparagus that goes to the Boston mar
ket, no manure at all has been used for
at least ten years, other than the tops,
and liberal annual dressing of salt,
usually taken from pork or fish barrels.
People were long prevented from raising
this most excellent vegetable because Of
the preposterous requirements lad down
by those who first wrote about it. The
fact is, that it is ne most easily grown
apdh sfF5 lGsSein its requirements of any
OoBle. The chief requirements are
cent arm, fertile soil, some shelter from
Winds, and room enough for its
LOT roots. About four feet by two
Desi preferred distance apart. A bed
esiast a lifetime once planted and not
Ned. The growth and size Of the
Cuts depend much on the full, unin-
red growth of the tops after cutting
eases, about mid-June, when green peas
come in. Manure enables more good
sprouts to be grown on less area, and
often tenderer, but not richer.

IN FARM And GARDEN
Facts That viii be Found Use
full to Progressive Farmers.
NEW VEGETABLES AND FLOWERS.
Seedsmen and Nurserymsn for Trial
A New SWEET Corn.

Leading nurserymen and seedsmen Is
sued their descriptive catalogues and
price lists early in the season, and as the
most Of these are sent free of charge OF
written application, every farmer and
gardener ought, by this time, to be the
possessor of several Of these guides to the
selection of seeds and plants. Each cata'
logue paints in glowing colors and en-
thusiastic words one or more novelties
for which a trial is asked. Farmers who
are wise will plant largely Of well tried
varieties; varieties that are known tc
succeed in their own localities. While
advising standard varieties for leading
crops, it is also suggested that, whenever
practicable, each farmer in a small way
test some of the many novelties that arg
being introduced. 1t is in this way only
that improvement may be made.
A newcomer, which authorities among
seedsmen unite in commencing to both
gardeners and Gamers, is Gold Coin,
q sweet corn. For three years Gold
Coin has been compared favOrably with
Stowell's Evergreen, which it is claimed
TO surpass in sweetness. 1t is productive
and early and evergreen to marked
degree.
Among satisfactory new vegetables cat
alogued by Peter Henderson this season
are the new bush Lima bean and Yose-
mite mammoth wax bean. 1t is claimed
for the first named that it is at least a
fortnight earlier than any Of the climb

The new wax Dean is remarkable on &C
count of its enormous size.
With new vegetables catalogued the
first time by one of Massachusetts, pro-
gressive seedsmen, James J. H Gregory,
Is the Hard Heading" cabbage, which
gardeners who have tested it say is 1.-THE
hardest heading Of all known varieties. "
A new caulifiower, Endorsed by Ferry,
one of Michigan's foremost seedsmen, is
introduced by the name early Puritan
cauIidower." The claims made for it
are: Early maturity, certainty to head,
small and compact plant, with extra large
heads, smooth and very white.
The Crawford strawberry, catalogued
among novelties by Storrs and Harrison,
Of Ohio, is represented as a healthy
grower and a very prolific bearer of ber-
ries Of good size, color and substance.
A new striped rose, 1.-The Caprice" an

If poultry fanciers and breeders would
realize how valuable and succulent q
provision for fowl stock rutabagas, beets,
potatoes and carrots are, when cooked,
either boiled or steamed, and mixed
with the oatmeal and corn meal given
the birds, this excellent style of root
feeding would be far more generally
practiced, and to the certain improve
ment of the ordinary condition Of the
birds. All experience with the above
mentioned roots, as we recommend their
use, has proved highly satisfactory,
whenever and wherever the experiment
has been tried with our knowledge, says
Poultry Yard.
With cattle, with cows, with sheep, or
with swine, this course has for years
been followed, among our most econom-
icaI live stock breeders, to grand adyan-
tage. The benefit to poultry is similar.
And we advise all who hav3 never tried
the plan we now suggest to give their
attention to this subject; and so save
money in feeding their fowls, while they
render either their old or their young
stock in every way more comfortable,
thrifty and more healthy than by tho
means which are ordinarily employed.

Bathing at Beek.s Hot Springs.

Permit me to say through the columns of
your excellent paper, that in February, 1888,
at Sidney, Neb., 1 contracted inflamatory
rheumatism; my whole system was affected
so had to be lifted and turned on blanket,
not able to put on or take off my clothes
nor comb my hair. l secured the best med
ical attendance, which failed to afford any
relief While in this condition and suffer
ing untold pain, w. T. Eubank of Sidney,
Cheyenne county, Nebraska, who was in
an early day, engaged in frelghtlng goods
to Utah by wagons, told me of the wonder
full cures that had been effected by use Of
the water at Hot springs, four miles north
of Salt Lake City, now known as Beck's
Hot springs. In the condition above stated
/ arrived at the springs the last OF June,
1888. l was helpless, but by the kindness
of James Tibitts, who furnished me with
faithful attendant to assist me in and out
of my bath, also dressing and undressing
me, l soon found to my surprise that was
much better drank freely of the water
which renovated and invigorated my sys-
TEN so l began the experiment of jumping,
l9aping farther each day, until l could Jump
five feet by measurement on level ground,
and walk distance of four miles, climb
tle mountain and run up and down stairs.

with everything the city market affords. l
remained there thirteen weeks; since that
time l have been in the CITY, going out oc-
casionally for a bath. l am now in good
health and flesh. 1 have not been asked by
any person to make this statement of facts,
but believe it is due the public, that per-
sons who suffer from this dreadful disease
may be benefited. While in this city l
formed the acquaintance of Rev. 7. A H.
Franklin, pastor of the Scandinavian M. E.
church, whom I believe to be devout
Christian man, caring for his flock like
tender, loving sheperd, providing for the
poor by feeding the hungTV and clothing
the naked, the writer for some time past
sharing in the hospitality of his home. You
can scarcely estimate the value of his pres
ence among you. Now as l leave the city
perhaps never to return, l trust by my
faults you will correct your own, in that
have done well, give God the praise. L
desire your sympathy, not your congratu-
lations.
Finally friends and brethren, farewell.
Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one
mind, live in peace and the God of love
and peace shall be with you.

Former Methodist preacher in Neb.

1t has smart, snappy sound to say
''prune when your knife is sharp" and
for such pruning as may be easily done
with a knife, it is well enough. But for
the larger limbs that must often be am
putated, pruning when your saw is
sharp will not answer always and every
where. Where all trees are SO hardy
that cut, however large, never black
ems or "bleeds," one may prune at any
time with safety, while trees are not in
leaf. But in the northern tier of states
there are many trees planted that are
more or less injured in their wood by
hard winters. Such trees are best pruned
after the severe weather is over, but
then as early as possible, so that the
wound will get pretty dry before the sap
starts. This will not always prevent
bleeding" when a tree has been much
hurt by low temperature, but it is the
best that can be done for them.-Garden
and Forest,

not on any account be allowed to lose
their summer condition. Their natural
food in the dead of winter is, as a rule,
not sufficient to maintain that condition,
but very little extra feeding will be nee
essary this year, owing to the excep-
tional mildness of the season.
The object Of the experienced shep-
herd Is to prevent the ewes from losing
without greatly gaining flesh. When
Landing sets in they ought to be healthy,
fresh and vigorous. Our own expert
ence has been that the ewes which were
in 1.-the condition acquitted themselves
better at the critical moment, as well as
afterwards, than animals which carried
more mutton. As rule, they not only
produced bigger and stronger lambs, but
they took better care of them after
wards, while the slightest enhancement
Of their rations after the lambs turned
up tided them safely over their weak
ness, and kept them going in capital
form.
Ewes should be allowed full liberty.
There is nothing healthier than pasture
grass. If thought desirable, little hay
and green grain-say one-half pound of
each-may be given, along with small
allowance of turnips. The supply of
roots should be regulated by the condi-
ton of the pastures, and also to some
extent according to the breed of sheep
on the farm.
There is nothing more necessary than
proper shelter. All ewes require protec-
ton from the cold blasts and rains, espe-
cially when early lambs are bred. Album
dance Of housing accommodation should
be available on every breeding farm, as
serious loss of young lambs frequently
occurs from exposure. Then it is ex-
tremely important that the shepherd
should give the Landing fold his most
anxious attention. a timely hand may
be the means of saving life, as the ewes
are not always able for the task them
selves. Besides, the ewes udders must
be attended to. Scarcity of milk cannot
be too soon remedied. This can readily
be done by enriching the ewes diet, but
meanwhile the lamb must be looked
after, lest it should be inadequately fed.

Rank Growing Wheat.

Ordinarily the falling down or lodging
of wheat while in a green state arises
from the fact that the soil is so rich that
in favorable growing season the plant
is pushed forward so rapidly that the
straw is not strong enough to support it
self when weighted down with rain or
violently agitated by wind. When the
growth is too luxuriant no better remedy
is known than to feed off the wheat in
the fall, winter or early spring at times
when the ground is dry OF frozen, so that
the plants will not be injured by the
trampling of the animals. Caution is
required in this respect, and the pastur-
ing is best done by light animals, such as
calves or sheep.

Another Recipe for Corned Beef.

To corn beef, first cover the meat for
twenty-four hours with brine just strong
enough to float an egg. Take it out and
wash it in cold water, SO as to take out
all the blood; throw the bloody brine
away, and for 100 pounds of beef, or in
the same proportions for other quanti-
ties. make a new pickle by thoroughly
dissolving six pounds of salt, two pounds
of brown sugar and two ounces of salt
peter in water sufficient to cover the
meat; skim it well before pouring it on,
and if scum rises on it afterwards before
the meat is used up scald it, skim it and
pour it back when cold. Keep the meat
always covered with the brine and in a
cool and well ventilated place. For sum-
mer keeping or for the southern states q
little more salt should be used.

News and Comments.

The experiments with frozen wheat
as seed at the Minnesota State Expert
mental farm are of widespread interest.
The results thus far are surprising. Some
thirty samples of frosted and frozen
wheat have been employed for the tests
and many Of these have sprouted. The
next point to settle is, will they have
sufficient vitality to mature?
The free distribution of seed from the
department of agriculture is to be trans
ferred from congressman to the national
experiment stations in the various states,
The house has passed the senate bill
providing that the public lands of the
United States now subject to private
treaty, or are adapted to and chiefly
valuable for agriculture, shall be dis
posed of according to the provisions of
the homestead law only.
The bill to make the head Of the de-
partment Of agriculture a cabinet officer
received the ofncial approval of Presi-
dent Cleveland and he nominated Nor
man J. Colman to be the new secretary
Of agriculture.

DR.. Wood, a distinguished New Jersey
fruit grower, finds that the Minnewaski
blackberry ripens with him as early as
the Wilson. The plant is hardy and
prolific, fruit large and sweet. Mr.. j. Il.

grower, suggests that this blackberry,
being hardy in New England, is likely to
prove to be the early sort for which they
have been so long looking.
