THE CULTURE OF ASPARAGUS.

Asparagus may be grown from seed
and will reproduce itself true to the
variety. But the better way is to pro.
cure one year-old plants from the seeds
men and set these out In beds. The soil
should be made rich and deeply worked.
The plants are set out in rows three or
four feet apart and foot apart in the
rows. The crop is not cut until the Sec
ond year after planting, when a few
stalks may be cut, but not many until the
third year, as earlier cutting checks the
growth of the roots. Conover's Colossal
and Palmetto are the two best varieties.
The roots can be purchased for 81 per
100. Peter Henderson's Gardening and
Profit" gives full information of the cuI-
ture of this and all other garden crops.
The roots should be set at least five in
ches under the surface and it is best to
round up the beds few inches. The
first year small vegetables may be grown
between the rows.-New York Times.

When Woods Decay.

Tests have been made to determine
the variations in the length of time that
is required to produce decay in different
kinds of woods when buried under the
surface of the ground. The birch and
aspen were both found to decay in three
years, the willow and the buckeye in four
years, the maple and the red beech in
five years, elm and ash in seven, while
the larch, juniper and arbor vitae were
uninjured at expiration of eight years.

COLON IN HORSES AND CATTLE.

According to the Western Agricul-
turist the white color of horses and cattle
has been developed from tropical re-
sources, and it is clearly shown by the
superiority of the white horses of the
desert and the tendency of horses aud
cattle taken from the colder climates of
the North to the hot climates OF South
America and our Southern States that
the gray colors increase and withstand
the heat better. The gray horses are
more popular in the Southern States and
hot climates.

FArrEx1Ne CHICKENS FOR THE TABLr

FATTENING CHICKENS FOR THE TABLE.
The three prime rules to be observed
are: Sound and varied foods, warmth,
and cleanliness. There is nothing that
fattening fowl grows SO fastidious about
as his water. If water anyway foul be
offered him, he will not drink it. but
sulk with his food and pine, and you ali
the while wondering the reason why.
Keep them separa e, allowing to each
bird MS much as you can spare, spread
the ground with sharp sandy gravel, and
take care that they are not disturbed. In
addition to the regular diet of good corn,
make cake OF ground oats or beans,
brown sugar, milk and mutton suet. Let
the cake lie till it is stale, then crumble
it, and give each bird a gill measureful
morning and evening. No entire grain
should be given to the fowls during the
time they are fattening-indeed the Sc
cret of success lies in supplying them
with nutritious food without stirt, and
in such form that their digestive mill
shall find no difficulty in grinding it,

VALUE OF SWEET APPLES.

Wherever apples are plentiful sweet
apples are neglected and scarcely salable.
They are not good for pics, but for bak-
ing whole are superior to sour apples. If
their excellence thus cooked were better
known it would cause increased demand,
and inurc to the advantage of consumer
as well as the producer. In the absence
of the demand for sweet apples the trees
that produce them aie dug up or grated
over to sour fruit.-Bostoa OahiUdt0r.

Stanley Tells Curious Story About the
j., Dwarfs and Their Poisoned Arrows.
When we first encountered the tribe
who fought with poisoned arrows,
writes Stanley in Scribner, we were not
prepared to be greatly impressed with
the danger, but we received severe
lesson in August, 1887, during fight
with the Avisibba savages. Young fell
lows, inspired by the example of Lieut.
enant Stairs, r. E., rushed with brave
homicidal intentions to the front, and
the tiny arrows sailed in showers past
them; but some of them found their
intended billets, and were arrested
quivering in arms and shoulders. With
contemptuous smiles the young men
drew them out and flung them away,
and some continued answering the saw
ages with rifle shots, while others
sought the surgeon, bearing with them
the arrows with which they had been
wounded. When the days fight was
over of course we had more leisure to
examine the missiles, and our anxiety
was great when we observed that they
had been freshly smeared with brown,
gummy-like substance which emitted
subtle acrid odor, with a suspicion of
asafetida in it. The arrows seemed to
have been plunged into pot contain
ing goodly quantity of n resinous sub
stance, and twirled around in it and
well soaked and then lifted up in
bunch and covered with banana or a
piece of phrynium leaf. Quivers full of
the arrows showed us that the weapons
We're considered by their owners to be
dangerous, for those so smeared were
tied together, head downward, and
apart from the others.
Yet the wounds made by these slender
arrows were mere punctures, such as
might have been made by finely pointed
butchers skewers, and being exceed
ingly ignorant of the effect we con-
tented ourselves with Swinging them
with warm water and dressing them
with bandages. In some instances af-
| fectionate men sucked their comrades
wounds, to make sure that nothing of
the substance should be left to irritate
them. In no instance was this method
of any avail. All who were wounded
either died after terrible sufferings from
tetanus, or developed such terrible gam
grenous tumors as to ineapacitate them
from duty for long periods or wreck
their constitutions so completely by
blood-poisoning that their lives became
a burden to them.

CLlQUES IN CLUBS.
Every Large Club Has It's Sets of Fellows
Who Ride Hobbies.

Who Ride Hobbies.
In every large club there are sets or
cliques. Every other member naturally
drifts into one of these sets very soon
after he joins the club, says writer in
the New York Sun. They may be de-
fined in this way: First, there is the
billiard set. Its members rarely visit
any other part of the club than the
billiard room, and every other member
knows just where to find them. They
are usually evening men, for the bill
iardtables are not much used in the day
time. Most of them are billiard ex-
perts-gentlemen experts, of course
and they can not tolerate the ordinary
billiard player.
Then there is the card set. Not all
the clubs allow card playing, but most
of them do. In good many of the
clubs whist is nominally played, but
actually all sorts of gambling games
with cards are permitted. All the card
players in the club gradually drift into
this set. OF course, occasionally, men
play quiet game without becoming
slaves to the habit, but these are not
members of the card set, and their
presence Is not at all desirable to the
latter.
There are some men who have fallen
into the habit of breal<fasting at their
clubs, and are never seen there at any
other time. Others come only to lunch
con. Their places of business are not
remote from the clubhouse, and they
drop over there for an hour in the mid
die of the day. Sometimes they bring
friends along, and they always have
good time. This is pleasant set.
The set containing the men who hang
around the clubs in the daytime is a
very peculiar one. It's members are
either wealthy young fellows who
think it beneath them to engage in any
useful occupation, or men who prefer
to do their work at night. The latter
are few. These are the men who con-
stantly occupy the club windows and
gaze out upon the fashionable throng
with superciliousness.
A good many only see the club when
they drop in on their way home to take
cocktail. They are family men, who
go home to dine, and occupy their even
AhSo WIN ooSiui Ut 10
nestle affairs. 1t is no unusual thing
to see fifty men drop into club be-
tween four thirty and six o'clock, just
for the purpose of taking little
champagne and bitters, or less arts
tocratic cocktail. These men rarely
stay more than half an hour. The read
ing set contains very desirable element
of the club. It's members are quiet,
gentlemanly fellows, who lend tone and
dignity to the club and are always well
informed.
The dinner set is not so well defined
as the others. 1t includes men of all
kinds, but there are particular men
who come only then, and who are ex-
perts in good living. These are always
good fellows, and rybody is glad to
know them. A man who dimes well
must be good fellow in his heart, and
usually is an interesting one, too.

RAPID PROGRESS
Being Made on the Naval Exhibit at the
Worlds Fair.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The report Of
Captain Richard F. Meade, the naval
representative on the worlds fair board
of control has been sent to the secretary
of the navy. In it he expresses himself
as highly pleased with the progress of
the work in Chicago, but far from
satisfied with the progress of the naval
bureau in arranging for the exhibit in
the battleship now being constructed.
The ship itself, will, he says, be under
roof before the cold weather so that
work can continue through the winter
and the structure be completed by
spring.
He says that he has received many
offers from commercial concerns t. fl
out the ship without cost to the govern
ment, and in accordance with the gov
ernment plans for the advertising of
such concerns would get sufficient re.
muneration. But the captain is 10th to
accept such offesr. He adds that he will
be compelled to do so unless the bureau
bestirs itself. He hopes. he says, to
lend interest to the exhibit as already
planned by transporting torpedo boat
No. 2, which is to be built at Dubuque,
Ia, and will lie Wished in time, to Chi
cago. He will do so if the boat can be
transported on fat cars

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-The recent
earthquake in central and northern Cal
fornia occasioned phenomenal results in
Sonoma county. On the Polpulo ranch
of J. f. Peppe the ground was cracked
and scanned in various places. From
these narrow openings in the earth large
quantities of water of various tempcra-
lures have been gushing forth ever
since. In some places the water is ice
cold, while Others it is-warm, reaching
temperature of 100 degrees. The flow
of General Valejos artesian well has
been increased about 100000 gallons per
twenty-four hours. On Captain joys
farm the flow of gas from his natural
gas well has been increased to a great
extent, and spring that has hitherto
been cold has been converted into
basin Of hot water.
