A Modern Need Of Sleep.

There is not one man or woman in ten
thousand who can afford to do without seven
or eight hours sleep. All those stories writ
ten about great men and women who slept
only three or four hours night make very
interesting reading; but l tell you, my read
ers, no man or woman ever yet kept healthy
i'm body and mind for number of years
with less than seven hours sleep. Ameri-
cans need more sleep than they are getting.
This lack makes them so nervous and the in-
sane asylum SO populous. If you can get to
bed early, then rise early. If you cannot get
to bed till late then rise late. 1t may be as
Christian for one man to rise at eight as 1t Is
for another to rise at five. l counsel my
readers to get up when they are rested. But
let the rousing bep be rung at least thirty
minutes before YOUR public appearance.
Physicians say that a sudden jump out of
bed gives irregular motion to the pulse. 1t
takes hours to get over too sudden rising.
Give us time, after you call us, to roll over,
gaze at the world full in the face, and look
before we leap.-T. DE Witt Talmage, in

Domestic serxlce.

In 1881 there were in the United
Kingdom 1000, 900 servants; in 1881
their number was only few over a
million and quarter. More signifi-
cant still is the circumstance that,
while during the decade 1S71-S1 the
general population increased by more
than ii per cent, the ranks of the do
mestic servants were reinforced by
less than one per cent. This is not be-
cause the great households call for
fewer servants than they did in the
Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries,
but it is due solely to the propagation
of democratic and socialistic ideas.
The majority of the domestics spring
from respectable mechanic and artisan
homes, which are the very center Of
democratic government. II is inter-
esting to notice that like causes are
producing like effects in both Great
Britain and the United States. Good

How to Feed Horses.

The mastication of food with the horse
is all done at one and the same time, and,
therefore, says Clarks Review, it is most
important that the strongest and most
concentrated food be given him at first,
80 that the digestive organs may have
time to act upon it. The stomach only
holds certain amount of food, with the
necessary quantity of saliva generally
four times the weight of the food) to aid
in its digestion. And if he is fed with
hay Immediately after eating his oats
and corn, the latter is forced out of the
stomach into the intestines before its full
strength is appropriated by the system,
and so passes out with much of its nu-
tritive qualities still retained. So with
watering horse Immediately after eat
ing his oats or corn, the latter is forced
along before it has been properly di-

Points in Strawberry Culture.

t. III. Hoskins has the following to say
in Orchard and Garden after nearly half
a century of strawberry growing: 81 am
satisfied that the cheapest way is to fruit
the plants but once, renewing the beds
annually on land cleaned of weeds by
previous careful cultivation. In this way
we get larger fruit and more of it at a
minimum of cost. 1t is my practice to
grow beans between the rows the first
season and turnipb the second, after turn

Directions In Asparagus Culture by the
Original of "Conover's Colossal = The
Preparation OF the Soil. the Setting of
the Roots and Their Care.
Mr.. s. b. Conover, in American Gar
den, gives the following instructions
concerning the cultivation of asparagus;
Clean, rich, light loam soil that will not
bake or pack is required for asparagus.
A good. heavy sod plowed under is good,
as 1t makes bottom for the roots to feed
ON. 1t requires strong. coarse manure
under it, and the roots should have plen-
ty of room to spread. If planted closely,
small. spindling shoots will result. BY
planting good distance apart, as many
shoots cannot be cut from the same
ground, but the sprouts being larger,
more punches will be secured. These
heavy ones sell more readily and at
twice or three times the price of the
light weights, and cost less to cultivate,
cut and bunch.
Plow the ground deeply. Strike out
deep furrow five or six feet each way,
making your crossings ten or twelve
inches deep. Then put in plenty of good
coarse manure, tread down and cover
with about two inches of soil. Set the
roots on this, spreading them well.
They should be six or eight inches below
the surface. Then throw furrow over
them, from one side. When the rows
become weedy or need covering, throw
furrow on from the other side, thus kill
ing the weeds and keeping the ground
loose. All the attention the plants re-
quire is that the ground be kept clean
and loose. After the roots are well
started, give good dressing of stable
manure, and plow in between the rows,
using care not to wound the crowns.
In putting out, use 1-year-old roots;
tho best varieties are Conovers Colossal
and Lesher's Mammoth. The depth, six
or eight inches, is to allow of light plow-
ing over the plants, or cultivation in the
spring without injury. In order to
strengthen them, let the plants go to
seed, but before the seeds are ripe NOW
off and burn, as the seed will stock the
ground with young plants, like weeds.
At the last plowing or cleaning plow in
a coat of manure and SOW rye, letting it
grow large enough to cover the ground.
The rye keeps the ground warm and
prevents the surface from blowing away
in winter. Plow the rye under in spring
as fertilizer.
The second spring give a dressing Of
guano, hen manure or bone; cultivate it
i'll and plow up the middle, using sta
ble manure between the rows and cover
ing it well. The cutting will last about
four weeks, after which apply manure
and clean out all weeds and grass, 80 as
to get a strong growth of roots for the
next season. If cut too late, the root is
weakened. To hasten the plants in
spring, throw light furrow away from
each side of the crown, to let in the sun
and air. After cutting two weeks, throw
the furrow back again to destroy the
weeds and loosen the soil.
