manufacture of the silk for the wedding
dress has been entrusted by the duchess

to reach the poorer classes subscriptions
as low as 2 cents will be received.

Paris has great many mouths to feel,
and the work Of supplying even the minal
articles of food gives employment 70
quite an army of gardeners and fagmors.
The single article of asparagus is a nota-
bie example. The supply FOR the Paris
market is chiefly grown In the valley Of
Montmorency and at Argenteuil In the
vicinity OF the latter village. few
miles from Paris. 5000 persons are EN-.
ployed in the culture Of asparagus.
The seed is sown in February and
March, in beds Of soil carefully prepared
and fertilized the previous autumn.
These beds are about two feet apart, aud
the intervening space is utilized for tic
first year or two to grow early potatoes,
or beans. For the same period it is
necessary, in addition TO frequent weed
ing and pruning in order to get rid of nox-
ious growths. that strict watch be kept
upon the young plants, that they may be
protected from the voracity of the insect
which eats the stems and swarms 80
times in such extraordinary numbers
that the plants actually bend beneath
the weight The mode adopted for get
ting rid of these insects is 10 20 round
with tin can and place it under the
plants, which are then shaken. The in
sects fall down into the can and are pun
into boiling water, the great thing being
TO do this before they lay their eggs.
In the third and fourth year. If tl.s
plantation has done well, few heads
will probably be gathered; for | should
have said that French growers do nos
speak of cutting" asparagus, but OF
gathering, the knife being only used
when the action of the hand is not suf-
hcient. 1t is not, however, until the
tifth, or even the sixth, year that an as
paragus bed is in full growth, when the
crop may be expected to continue from
SIX weeks to two months. An asparagus
bed will last for 10 on 30 years when
properly cultivated and looked after, the
annual yield being at the rate of nearly
four tons per acre. The asparagus is
gathered IN the early morning, while the
dew is still on it. 1t is then bundled aud
kept in the growers sheds till the late af-
ternoon, when it is sent into the Paris
central markets, where II is sold by auc-
tion to greengrocers, hotelkeepers, aud
others buying upon large scale. There are
bundles of different sizes. so that it is i'm.
possible to give any idea Of the prices
paid, especially as these vary very much
according TO the time at which the as
paragus is put into the market
Argenteuil and other villages around
Paris are not the only places where the
cultivation ofasparagus is carried on upon
an extensive scale. In the Burgundy dis
trict asparagus is cultivated as an agri-
cultural rather than garden product.
Asparagus of good quality is grown both
in Algeria and the south of France.

Perhaps no subject is more interesting
to the farmer than that of feeding his
stock, as the saving of small portion Of
the food daily for large herd or flock is
quite an item in year. Science has
enabled the modern farmer to arrive at
knowledge of how TO feed in order to ac-
complish some object in view, instead OF
measuring all foods with a pitchfork
The composition of foods, with their
relative value in the formation of fat,
flesh, milk, or wool, enables the farmer
of the present day TO select his foods and
to use or apply them in those directions
to which they are most serviceable.
Before scientific experiments brought 10
view tI,e adaptability Of certain foods for
special purposes the feeding Of stock was
but matter of conjecture, bulk being
all sufficient, but improved methods have
made changes as complete as the success
full revolutions in other departments on
the farm.
Experiments made at several agricul-
tural stations show that foods are digested
80 completely as to give no indications Of
their presence. Thus, cottonseed meal
sed to cows, although affecting the com
position of the milk. gave no trace of its
presence, being converted into butter fat,
and it is now accepted as fact that the
starch and nitrogenous matter also con-
tribute TO the formation of fat, which ex.
plains the source Of the large yields OF
butter by noted cows, and the rapid in
crease Of weight by selected steers, from
food that was apparently lacking in the
elements that served to form the fats OF
the body. Fat on the body is that portion

quired for the support of the animal.

lacking to such degree that the animal
perishes. though in a fat condition II
literally dies Of starvation, or it loses ir
weight, because, though covered with

soft, the muscles waste away, and the

tening an animal, therefore, the greatest
gain is secured when foods not only rich
in the elements that produce fat are
given, but also containing mineral mat
ter and feshforming elements. Corn
alone is not equal to corn and clover
hay, because the corn is deficient ir
mineral matter, and variety therefore
affords a greater opportunity for gain 10
all directions. improvement in feeding
also adds to the weight at less cost, and
increases the profit from that sourcs
