THE START FOR ASPARAGUS.

Every farmers family uses potatoes.
The time, labor and fertility required for
their production are not considered, for
potatoes must be had. But they are
more expensive to raise than asparagus,
and their cultivation calls out more skill.
The labor needed to grow half an acre of
potatoes each year would in three years
plant, transplant and establish for fifty
years large bed of asparagus, which
with little care annually through this
half century, would load the home table
and the nearest market lat handsome fig.
ures) with delicious luxury. Asparagus
is most easily gathered and prepared,
highly nutritious and healthful in its
tendencies, and acceptable to nearly
everybody. Procure Or raise thrifty one.
year-old plants, and set them at intervals
of three feet in rows four feet apart,
using the richest land of almost any kind,
although loan is best. Keep it always
full of plant food, which can be put or
at any season, and never too abundantly)
Open the drills deep enough to allow
several inches of soil above crowns of the
plants when they are set. Keep the
ground clean and the third year cut every
sprout as fast as ready. Stop cutting
when early peas comc.--Ne,e YORK. 1ri

BEST HORSES TO RAISE.

Whatever may be said of the market
east for scrub horses there is no doubt
but that there is demand, both at home
and abroad, for heavy draught horses.
There is more than double-yes, more
than treble--the common horses in use
than there are good ones, and more than
double bought and sold every day. Still,
if we count the difference in the price of
a pair of common horses and a good
draught team we will find that the latter
is in demand at figure much above the
difference in the cost OF production.
Outside of the original investment in
good mares and a heavy stallion of high
standing the cost of production is not SO
very much larger than the cost of the
common scrub. Large horses, of course,
eat little more than small ones, and re-
quire little care, but they are generally
kind, easily broken and don't know any
thing but to pull, and with the exeep-
ton of the fleet roadster and the well
mated carriage horse is the most saleable
animal produced. Then the great beauty
of the draft horse is in the fact that, like
q beef steer, he almost sells by weight.
There is at least but little training neces-
sary to fit him for service, and where q
man has but little idea of how to handle
or train horse he can do but little bet
ter than TO grow the heavy class. --Neio

PLANTING LARGE POTATOES.

The system Of planting large potatoes
whole should be condemned, says &
writer in Indiana Farmer. Sach superfu-
Gus use is not at all reasonable, and tina!
of selecting small potatoes for seed,
either cut or planted whole, is the re.
verse of economy. Sometimes good
yield is obtained from small potato seed
when the variety is vigorous and in line
with favorable conditions. The eyes on
a well.developed potato are large and
capable of strong sprouts. The vigorous
sprout of a cutting from potato has the
advantage from the beginning. Ityields
better and withstands variations Of
weather with greater uniformity than the
small potato cutting with its numerous
small sprouts. The safe rule in prepar-
ing potato cuttings is to select the best
samples within reach in health, uni
formity, and size, and cut them in pieces
with an average of two eyes to cutting.
While the seed of potato that is in its
prime IN yielding qualities may be saved
and continued in the same locality for
two or three years, it is best when prac-
ticable to obtain seed every second year
from point 100 or more miles north of
you. The potato will not acclimate; it
loses vitality when kept stationary in one
locality; it is benefited by change and
the movement should be from north to
south.

oLEANINa SILVER WORK.

The Jt,oeiers' Weekly gives the follow
ing directions for cleaning brigat silver
work:
Solution No, /. Dissolve a piece OF
soap three times as large as an English
walnut in one quart of water; add a
wineglassful of ammonia and use boil
ing hot.
Solution No. 2. Dissolve piece Of
cyanide of potassium twice as barge us
an English walnut in one quart OF water,
and use warm.
Directions. First wash the article and
brush with solution No. l, then rinse in
boiling water, after which dip the solu-
ton No, 2. The article should then
again be rinsed in boiling water, aud
this should be followed by washing and
brushing with solution No. /; then rinse
with boiling water and dry the piece in
hot sawdust or wipe it dry. This method
must not be used to clean oxidized work.
THE cyanide of potassium is deadly
poison, and must be handled carefully. !

Congressman John Allen, of Mississippi,
in addition to being one of the wits of
the House, is also something of a
"plunger" in society. He was present
at musicale given at the Shoreham by
Mrs. Jeanette Thurber few evenings
ago, and talked music with a fiuency
that astonished some of those who heard
him. During the evening Mrs. Thurber
engaged the Mississippi Congressman in
conversation for a few minutes, and in
cidentally inquired if he was familiar
with the study of music.
"oh, yes" replied Mr. Allen,
promptly. II am something of musician

that introduce it into my every day life
with very beneficial effect. Icontrol my
wife and family and govern my entire
household by the power of my music"

answered Mrs. Thurber, smiling.
"Well," said Mr.. Allen, with a merry
twinkle in his eye, sit is just like this !:

IN GOOD TIME.

Outlines, in sunny morning hours,
The cheeriest season ever
We say; "This day must not pass by
Without some grand endeavor."
And this we mean from honest hearts
Tomake, and not to shun it;
But when the evening curtain falls,
Alas. we have not done it.
But we, perhaps, take up instead
Some little grievance gladly,
And mag Aify its puny form
And gaze upon it sadly,
When, maybe, t,is faint, tiny spark
That we are hourly tanning
Is but part Of some good work
That God for us is planning.
There is wheel within Wheel
Albeit we little heed them,
And some machines need sharpened blades
And needle points, to feed them.
And oit is, in this strange life,
Through which We journey blindly,
But when the needful knife probes deep
We do not take it kindly.
The time will come, for those who bear
Their ills as Gods anointed,
When they shall read earth's mysteries
A time by heaven appointed.
Then let us calmly watch and wait
With trusting spirits ever,
Still carrying out from day to day
Some good and grand endeavor,
Mrs. N. A. Kidder, IN the Ledger.

HENS SETTING roo CLOSELY,

The instinct of the hen to set, espe-
cially of the Asiatic breeds, needs some
curbing, even for success in incubation.
If the hen does not get off at all to eat
for several days, the eggs become added
from too much warmth and exclusion
from the air. Wetting the eggs is also
important, not to soften the shells, but
to prevent the drying up of their lining
inside the shell. which while moist ad.
mits air enough through it to preserve
the life of the germ. Hens that set
themselves out of doors usually hatch
their entire setting. They are forced to
hustle for their food, are often wet by
rains and dews, and this keeps the eggs
moist. --Bostoa Calticator.
