from almost any other cause. A sowing
of radishes should be made every ten days
until the first of June, and then again in
September. Peas should also be sown in
succession until the first of June. Plant
a few at time, in order that the whole
crop may be consumed when in the best
possible condition. IL is far better to cat
canned peas than half-ripened ones from
the vines. A planting of peas can be made
to advantage after early potatoes, if the
proper kinds are selected, and for this
purpose the various "earliest of all, ="
or this class of smooth peas, are the best.
1t Is folly to plant for late crop the
large, wrinkled varieties, as only crop
of mildew will be the result. Two
paintings of beets in spring and one in
August will keep up succession of this
vegetable, tender and sweet. Sweet corn
should be planted every week. say twenty
hills at time, from the first of May
until the middle of July; this
will afford an ample supply
for nearly three months. Beans
should be planted at intervals of two
weeks, the last planting to be made the
first of August. This crop, if not wanted
for snap-beans, eau be used to good ad-
vantage for picking.
A small planting of strap-leaf turnips
should be made as early as possible in the
season, and another on the ground where
the early peas or potatoes were grown.
A still later planting of turnips, as well
as rutabadas, can be made about the first
of August on any vacant ground.
Wherever there is a vacant spot, no mat
ter how small, spinach should be sown, if
for no other purpose than to turn under
rs a vegetable manure. II is important
to make late as well as an early plant
ing of tomatoes. For the first, put out
strong, stocky plants, for the second,
drop seed or two in each hill of early
corn, and, as soon as the corn is done,
cut the stalks to the ground, and a
splendid crop of tomatoes will be secured,
which comes in very useful after the first
has ripened its best fruits. BY this
method of planting, the garden will yield
more than double its usual crop, and the
vegetables will be far better than the

KILLING OR DRILLING.

On the same acreage a larger crop of
either kind of cultivated crop can be
grown by planting in hills rather than IN
drills. But as clean cultivation is neces-
sary to secure good growth and yield
the cost Of cultivation must be consid-
cred in determining the profits. That is,
in an average soil, it is more expensive to
give clean cultivation with drill planting
than with hill, and the principal question
to determine is whether the better yield
secured will pay for the additional cost.
Planted in hills nearly or quite all the
cultivation can be given with the team
and cultivators, but in drills in ma
iority of cases it will be necessary to use
the hoe to more or less extent, and this
increases the cost. The amount of hoe
ing that will be necessary depends largely
upon the condition of the soil If the
soil is IN good filth before planting the
seed so that the harrow can be used
early in cultivating so that the weeds can
be destroyed before they make fair
start, and then if care is taken in work
ing the cultivator close to the plants the
work of keeping clean can be materially
reduced.
! A soil that is foul with weed seeds is
much more difficult to give clcan cultiva-
/ tion than is a less weedy soil.
Often new ground can be planted in
drills and very good cultivation be given
with very little hoeing aud a good growth
and yield be secured.
Potatoes, cane and beans at least should
be planted in drills, and it will be better
to hoe two or three times rather than to
plant IN hills, but with corn as Il rule, in
what may be termed average ground, the
more economical plan will be to plant in
hills so that the cultivation can be giver
both ways, then if care is taken at the
start to work close to the plants the
weeds can be kept down. 1t is not nee
essary to stir the soil deep but it is very
important that the soil should be stirred
thoroughly, kept clean aad mellow, anC
the better this is done the better will bt
the results secured. Plant i'll drills
the condition of the soil will admit, bu
in hills rather than allow the weeds t
get too good start.-Fdrm, Field an

Electrical Robbers.

A novel and somewhat scientific
scheme for relieving ladies OF their
purses has been successfully carried out
bv gang of thieves in Chicago. The
scheme is to give the victim a violent
electric shock, thus temporarily paralyz-
ing her.
The most recent victim was Mrs.
Jacobson, professional nurse. She was
relieved of purse containing Sl2 and
several bundles by the electric method.
She was returning home on Centre ave
nue., near Milwaukee avenue. As she
passed in the shadow of building two
men brushed against her. One OF them
touched her wrist with piece OF metal.
She at once received a violent electric
shock that caused her to let go her purse
and several bundles and sent her reeling
against the building. She was so dazed
for the moment that she did not realize
what had happened. As soon rs she re-
! covered from the effects OF the shock she
began to look around for her purse and
bundles. They were not in sight. Then
it dawned upon her that she had been
! robbed. The two men who had passed
her were Just turning on Milwaukee ave-
nue.. Quickening her steps she followed
them, hoping to meet an officer that she
might have them placed under arrest
At Chicago avenue she quit the pursuit
and ran to the police station and tolo
what had occurred. An officer was sen
out with her, but the men could not b'
found. A similar case was reported earl.
in the week by Miss Czarkofski, yount
lady typewriter, who lives on Nobl
street. Her weeks wages were taken
How the fellows produced the electricit,
is not known to the police. Some ar

view that they attached small wires t

Goldfish Have Fun With the Turtle.

Fishes are not ordinarily supposed to
be gifted with any great amount of in
telligence, but an incident which oc-
CURED in a Washington home few days
ago proves that they have keen sense
of humor and are fond of practical jok-
ing. One of the young women Of the
house in question has for pets baby
mud turtle and several goldhshes. The
turtle is frequently placed in the tank
with the fish. The other day he lay
floating on the surface of the water
asleep, aud with his four legs out.
The goldfish saw in this a chance tC
plav a trick on Mr.. Turtle, and, aftel
putting their heads together a few
minutes, they divided into four groups
and, seizing his feet in their mouths
dragged him TO the bottom of the tank
When awakened by his sudden INNER
sion he had considerable difficulty il

Tie Oysters Food.

The food of the oyster consists en-
tirely of microscopic beings and frag-
ments Of organic matter, which are car
ried by the currents of water TO the
mouth of the animal at the hinge end of
the shell. Along with the food large
amount of indigestible dirt or inorganic
matter is carried in. When this mate
rial is examined through the microscope ii
is seen that the oyster subsists largely
upon what scientists call "diatoms"--
one of the lowest types of moving plants
which swim in the water, encased in mi
mute sandstone cases or boxes OF the
most delicate beauty of workmanship
When these have been found in the in
testines of the oyster they have usually

MAKE AN ASPARAGUS BED.

Asparagus is as easily raised as any
thing that grows in the garden, and yet
it is comparatively rare to fine it on Il
farmers table. The reason may be that
so much nonsense has been published
about the difficulties of raising it, and
that we have to wait two or three years
for the full maturity of the plant. 1t is
true that full crop will not be given in
less than three years, but when the bed
is once made, the Job is done for a dozen
or twenty years. If it is made this
spring there will be one season less to
wait.
Any good, well-drained soil that is fit
for corn is suitable for asparagus. Put
a salt barrel of stable manure to every
six square feet of ground. Spade deep,
work thoroughly, and cover the surface
with two inches of rich, light soil. Now
work off in drills, one foot apart, after
separating the seed from the hulls. Plant
them five or six inches apart in the drills,
cover carefully and tramp firmly with
the feet. The seeds germinate quicker
/ if soaked a few days before planting.
Care must be taken to keep the bed free
from weeds, and deep hoeing be given
every two weeks.
When the plants are well up they must
be thinned to one foot apart. In the
fall cover the bed with four inches oi
manure and fork it under in the spring,
after which SOW over it pint of sail
to every twenty plants. Cultivate agaiI
thoroughly during the growing season
and top-dress in the fall as before. Th'
second season few stalks may be cut i
April and May, but there should be nt
close cutting till the third season. I,
cut asparagus later than the middle 0
June weakens the plants and soon cause
the aid to fail. The secret of large, fin
asparagus is abundant manure, apple'
in the fall every year, thorough cultiva
ton until the tops prevent, and to sto
cutting by the middle of June.
The blanched asparagus so popular
some markets is secured by straw or othe
mulch. 1t is, however, poor stuff in com
parison with the long, tender, gree
shoots that have the benefit of full SUI
light on rich soil. 1t is thought best b
some to set bed with plants one yei

FOOTPRINTS in the Stone.

A great discovery of fossil footprints
has been made at a quarry in Holyoke,
Mass. Here is a clean surface OF shale,
about 1OOx4O feet, on which are seen
about two hundred tracks. Nearly all
of them are in rows, the longest one con-
tanning seventeen tracks. The tracks are
from six to eight inches in length, and
were probably made by a reptile that, II
it had front feet, seldom used them. This
