In preparing asparagus for market re-

stalks Make neat, firm bunches, about
eight or nine inches long, and four or

pounds of "grass." If not possessed of
one of the patented bunchers now for

a homemade buncher, such as is illus

used in place of tying material, as these
save time and labor and make neater

Ground Bones as a Fertilizer.

In a report on experiments made at the
New Jersey station with ground bones
as a fertilizer, it is pointed out that
ground bone is both phosphate and a
nitrogenous manure, insoluble in water,
but when in the soil is decomposed, and
yields it's constituents to the feeding
plant in proportion to the fneness. 1t
varies but little in composition, and
is less liable to adulteration than most
fertilizers. They. in fact. are usually
pure,
Ground bones have tendency to cake,
and to avoid this the manufacturers may
use other substances, which, while aid
ing mechanically, reduce the chemical
value of the mixture. Raw bone is most
usually pure, but the fat it contains rem
ders it less easily decomposed. Bones
having served the purpose Of the glue
maker are low in nitrogen and very high
in phosphoric acid. The method now
employed of steaming the bones under
pressure improves their quality without
altering the amount of the plant food
ingredients.
As the value of ground bones depends
upon composition and their fneness, a
mechanical as well as chemical analysis
is required to determine their value
The farmer must determine by crop
tests which grade he should buy-wheth-
er, for example, pay a dollar for ten
pounds of phosphoric acid in one cond-
ton, or for eighteen and half pounds
in another form. Average wood ashes
are worth nine dollars per ton, but the
best vary considerably.

The Best Layers.

Sin my breeding" says correspon-
dent in The Farm Journal, II avoid long
necks or long legs in birds. With silver
Wyandottes, which l have bred exclu-
sively for many years, high stationed
birds are particularly Objectionable, not
alone because they do not conform to the
American standard of excellence, but for
the reason that find them inferior egg
producers; neither are they as good for
table purposes as the type having shorter
legs and neck. My ideal of a good layer
is that she should have broad, deep,
round body of moderate length; she
should not be too chunky"

WHEN TO CUT GRASS.
How to Make the Best Hay for Mich
Cows.

How to Make the Best Hay for AIilch
Cows.
The usual time for cutting grass is so
late in the year that most Of the juicy,
succulent portions Of it have escaped, and
COWS Will avoid it even when it is grow
ing in the field They VIII leave the
patches of full grown grass and search
for that Of younger growth Every
dairyman knows what difference the
early pastures have upon the milk flow,
and how, later in the season, when the
grass becomes mature, the milk and but
ter lose that first fine fragrance and su-
perior favor. All of this argues that
grass loses much of its valuable parts
for the dairyman after it has reached a
certain stage Of maturity. We cannot
expect hay made from such grass to be
any better: The fine quality in the but
ter which fresh spring grass produces
cannot be OBJ lined in the winter from
COWS fed on such ovenipe hay.
The cutting and curing of hay earlier
in the season will save for the cows a
great deal of this mysterious substance
which affects the milk 80 favorably.
The haying season for the dairyman
should not be the same as that now
adopted by general consent by farmers
who raise it for the markets or for gen.
eral stock. There is no special week or
month in which hay should be cut and
cured. The COWS will be the monitors.
When they seem to like it the most it
should be cut before it has time to lose
this fine, succulent favor. This neces-
states early harvesting, and it also de-
mands repetition of it. Three cuttings
may be obtained from one field in sea-
son, or two cuttings at the least. It is
doubtful then if there is any loss sus-
tanned in quality if two or three cuttings
are taken from the field.
The dairyman, to get the best winter
hay then, should cut his grass before it
has headed or blossomed. This may not
be the best hay for stock of general
nature, but it is certainly the ideal dairy
mans winter fodder.-American Guilt

PROTECTORS AGAINST CUCUMBER BEETLES.
along its back, which attacks sauashes,
cucumbers, melons and similar plants
A large proportion of these remedies are
doubtless worthless, if. indeed, not posi-
lively injurious.
Obviously the only safe plan to pre-
vent injury is to fence out the insects.
OF the various forms of apparatus for
this purpose are the ones shown in the
accompanying cuts from American Gar
den. The simplest method, and one
largely practiced in some of the great
melon growing sections, is that of laying
piece Of thin cloth over the hills before
the plants are up, covering the edges OF
it with loose earth. This works very
well while the plants are young, but is
liable to cripple them if left on too long.
To obviate this difficulty Professor
Weed, of the Ohio experiment station,
tried various methods of holding the
cloth up in the middle. One Of the SIM
plest and perhaps most satisfactory
methods, according to his experiments,
is to take two pieces of wire and put
their ends in the ground so as to form
croquet ground Over this the cloth is
laid, the edges being held down by loose
earth as before, and as shown in Fig. 4.
Or the wires may be twisted around each
other as shown in Fig 3; or single long
wire may be bent as shown in Fig. l.
A half barrel hoop makes very good
substitute for the wire, az may be seen
in Fig. 5.
The best cloth found for the purpose is
the lightest grade Of plant cloth sold by
seedsmen. This can be purchased in
quantity for three or four cents a yard,
and one set of covers properly cared for
ought to last at least three seasons.
After they have been used on the early
squashes and melons they are ready for
the late cucumbers. They require little
storage room between seasons
Professor Weed also tried boxes COW
cred with thin cloth Gig. o, and found
them less desirable than the cloth, be-
cause they do not admit sunshine and
air as well, so that the plants do not
grow as rapidly and vigorously. When
the plant reaches the top, also, it cannot
lift the cloth with it, while with the
cloth alone it can raise it without diff
Guilty.
1t is necessary to keep the covers on
until the plants have put out five or six
leaves, and perhaps in case of cucumbers
and melons even longer; for the beetle
