the blossoms fall. Let the hogs
use them any time the ground is
not frozen until they begin to come
up and grow again. Then your
hogs have had roofing enough and
will iniure your pastures little or
none. There is no better food to
build up large, healthy frames,
with plenty of bone and muscle.
They will not only grow, but fatten
on them. They are 80 very pro-
ductive that it takes but little work
to obtain all they want; they seem
to like them as well as corn. AS a
fat producing food, corn, perhaps,
has few equals; but, in these times
of cheap pork, it is too expensive to
use more than in the finish ing pro-
cess, and one of the poorest to grow

why Bookkeeping is Profitable.

Bookkeeping in connection with
farming is one of the most paying
branches. 1t involves no direct
cost, as they will pay for themselves
in one season, SO that money invest
ed is returned by 100 per cent the
first year, and you have stock for
another and have a most excellent
article for the table. There is al
ways ready market for honey, SO
what can the farmer of to-day bet
ter do than to keep few swarms
of bees? With modern conveniences,
such as the bee wells and smokers,
there is no such thing as being
stung.

Their wonderful productiveness
and the ease with which artichokes
can be produced is always a sur
prise to those who cultivate them
the first time. They are an excel
lent food for cattle, sheep and hors.
es. Fed to milch COWS, they are,
for the production of milk, equal,
if not superior, to bran. AS a hu-
man food the tubers may be baked,
boiled, roasted, fried, stewed or
picked, in fact all the receipts for
cooking them would fill moderate
sized volume, Many people eat
them raw, but they are not as much
of an ideal food for man as pota-
toes, since they are lacking in those
farinaceous qualities SO much es.
teemed in potatoes. But their
greatest value is for food for hogs,
as they save you the work of har-
vesting-even the labor Of feeding
is avoided, as the hogs will help
themselves, and root up and lay
bare more than they eat, SO you
may turn in colts, calves or sheep
which will greedily eat what is on
the surface. Like q parsnip, freez-
ing solid and thawing many times
improves them; so it is not neces-
sary to dig them for Spring use.

FARM Notes.
lmportant Notes on Pigs.

Prof. A. A. Mills, of the Utah
Experiment Station, has given the
results of several careful expert
ments in pig raising, made through
the two years of 1894 and 1895.
He sums up his conclusions as fol-
lows:
/. Pigs allowed to run at large
over eighteen acres Of good pasture
and fed a full ration of grain, made
the most rapid growth, and required
the least grain for one pound Of
gain.
2. Pigs confined in movable
pens in the pasture grew more slow
ly than those running loose, and
required an increase of 90 per cent
of grain to make one pound OF
growth.
8. Pigs at pasture, fed under
three different conditions, gained
92.5 per cent more and ate but 2
per cent more than the pigs getting
grass and otherwise similarly fed
but confined in pens. The grain
required to produce one pound Of
gain was increased 40 per cent
with those in pens over those at
pasture.
4. Pigs fed but part rations Of
grain at pasture made satisfactory
gains. Those at pasture getting
the three-fourths grain ration gain
ed more than those fed full grain
ration and grass, either in the pens
or in the yards.
5. Pigs pastured without grain
made about the same growth for
three seasons in succession, this av-
eraging SO Of a pound per day.
6. AS nearly as can be judged
exercise alone increased the gain
% per cent and the amount eaten
but 1.5 per cent, but decreased the
amount required for one pound Of
gain % per cent.
7. Grass when cut and fed green
to pigs, whether fed in pens or
yards, or with full or part grain
ration, or without grain, proved to
be of very little value.
s. Pigs confined in pens and fed
on grass alone, mostly lucern, for
ninety-one days, lost over a quar-
ter of pound per day
8. The average of the pigs fed
on grass gained little more than
those without the grass, but not
enough to pay for the extra feed in
the grass.
10. With the pigs confined in
the hog house pens the grass prov
ed beneficial, while with those in
the yard it proved detrimental, the
latter required more grain to make
o pound of pork than without it.
II. Pasturing either with full or
part grain rations appearing to be
by far the cheapest and best way OF
making ork.-Progrcssive Farmer

notes for Beekeepers.

Notes for Beekeepers.
Bees gorged with honey never
volunteer an attack.
Queenless colonies, unless sup
piled with queen, will soon dwin-
die away.
One of the best paints for the
hive is made by mixing white lead
and white zinc with raw oil.
The formation of new colonies
should be confined to the season
when bees are accommodating honey.
Where bees and poultry consti-
tute minor industries of the farm,
some buckwheat should be grown.
Swarming is not essential to the
existence of colony, but some
bees are more given to it than 9TH
ers.
If colony winters badly it in
fluences the working qualities of
the queen. The colony pulls up
slowly.
/ 1t is a mistake to make q prac-
tice of extracting honey before it is
ripe. It can be refined artifcially,
but the natural way is best.
Honey is sweet substance &C.
creted by the hectares of flowers.
The color, flavor and qualities of it
depend upon the source from which
it is gathered.
Robber bees can generally be dis
tinguished from those that have
been out honestly foraging by the
peculiar manner in which they APP
proach a hive.
Sections of honey that are to be
extracted to be used another year
must be cleaned out by the bees, or
the sections will be likely to con-
tain candied honey.
The general prosperity of bees in
the Spring depends upon proper
care, favorable weather and plenty
to eat, the latter condition being
absolutely indispensable.
Having decided that certain col
onies are to be united, the first
thing to know is which has the best
queen. This ascertained, hunt out
the poorest one and kill her before
uniting,
AS soon in the Spring as the bees
begin to fly the entrance of the
strongest colonies shout be con-
tracted to an inch or two aud the
weaker ones SO that only a bee or
two can enter at a time.
1t lie a mistake to suppose that
the swarms must be opened every
day to see how the bees are coming
on. 1t is very easy thing to
chill the young, tender, brood when
there is cold wind blowing, but
even when not cold enough to chill,
it disturbs the bees.
On the strength of the colonies
depends the honey crop. If the
colonies are weak double them up
until strong colony is formed,
saving the best queen and destroy
ling the rest. More brood will be
reared in one good, strong colony
than in several weak ones.
| To introduce a queen to stranger
bees, first remove the condemned
queen. and then before closing up
the hive give them a queen in
Vests spiral cage with a piece of
hard candy in the large end. Place
the cage somewhere in the hive and
in good time the queen will L Ia

Asparagus.

The value and Importance OF this
vegetable cannot be estimated, and
it might possibly be more extensive
ly grown were it not for the wide
spread idea of the difficulty of its
culture. It is, one of the earliest
of the gardens products, and a
bed properly made lasts with a lit
tie care, for long period of years
Asparagus delights in very rich,
medium textured loan, we'll drain
ed and MANFRED and it amply re-
pays for care bestowed.
PREPARING THE BED.
It is useless to try growing as
paragus on ground that is not well
drained. The bed should be trench
ed two feet deep in the Fall. In
the Spring as early as possible,
spade in well-rotted manure, not
less than twenty tons per acre, as
the ground cannot be made too
rich. If possible, fork the ground
over once or twice after applying
the manure to make it as friable
as possible.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1896-04-18
PLANTING.

If seed is had it should be sown
in April in drills one foot apart
and two inches deep, and as soon
as large enough thin out to three
inches apart, removing the weakest
plants. Keep the soil about them
we'll pulverised and free from weeds
One year old plants can be trans
planted to the permanent bed.
The transplanting should be in
March or April. The plants are
put in rows three feet apart and one
foot apart in the row. The plant
ing is best done by opening trench
six inches deep and the width of q
spade, spread the roots out careful
ly in all directions, letting the
plant rest on the bottom of the
trench, and keeping the crown
about five or six inches from the
surface. Throw in the soil, and,
after firming it, slightly rake the
bed over to present smooth APP
pearance. In the Fall remove all
the old stalks and any stray weeds,
and give a top dressing of manure.
Fork this in in the Spring, also ad-
ding a dressing of fine salt (three
to five pounds per yard). The salt
should be applied just before the
growth begins, and should be spread
with the hand. This annual fork
ing in of top dressing is all that
is required, other than to see that
the bed is not overrun by weeds.
A small crop can be cut the second
year, but it is not customary to be-
gin cutting until the third year
from the establishment of the bed.

Cure for Consumption.

DR.. Cyrus Edison, an eminent
New York physician, has revealed
the discovery by him of cure for
consumption. 1t is o solution of
carbolic acid which he calls asep-
tolin. Upon the authority of Pro-
lessor Henry A. Mott, aseptolin
is composed of: Water, 97,24l1
per cent; phenol, 2,740l per cent;
pilocarpin phenyl hydroxide,
0.0lSS per cent.
DIR. Edison discovered aseptolin
in September, 1895. To date 2l7
persons having consumption have
been treated with it. OF these,
four showed no improvement, and
of the four, one died. The rest,
2l3, showed improvement. OF
these, twenty-three have been dis
charged cured; sixty-seven will,

having the cases, be discharged
cured, making ninety in all.
In some cases the patients have
been under treatment for too short
time to enable physicians to say
anything except the patients are
better. In thirty two cases the
improvement was only temporary,
but this record means about 40
per cent of cures, and these cases
have been those of patients with
the disease in all stages.
About fifty physicians in the
country are using aseptolin in
their practice. 1t has cured every
case of malaria and Ia grippe in
which it has been tried, II in all
of malaria and 81 of la grippe.
After all, it is merely what DR.
Edison calls it, "a rational treat.

Wheat is firm in the Argentine
Republic on account of news OF

Heavy freshets have caused
great loss in Brazil. A municipal
loan has been negotiated to i'm
prove the sanitary condition of
Rio Janeiro. There are twenty
deaths daily from yellow fever in
the city.
1t is rumored at Valparaiso that
a protocol will be signed between
Chill and Argentina to amicably
settle the boundary question. The
Patria says it would be better to
have more warships and fewer
protocols, and that the navy OF
Argentina is much larger than
Chili's. General Reyes, candi-
date for the presidency, is de-
nounced by the conservative ele-
ment for his advanced religious
views.
Paris papers declare that the
position of Brazil regarding ANA
pa territory is becoming intoler-
able and national dignity requires
that the matter be speedily con
cluded. The London Graphic
says: "If the French mean bust
ness in their dispute with Brazil,

another chance for a war scare.
Possibly they will not take it, be-
cause they are aware that France

John Hays Hammond, the
American charged with the leader
ship of the late uprising in
Johannesburg, was liberated on
bail on the 5th inst.
The trial of the members of the
Reform Committee began at
Pretoria on the 9Th inst. They
are charged with melting to re-
bellion and with high treason. A
printer testified to the type having
been set for the proclamation Of a
provisional government.
New York papers give full
accounts from johannesburg pa
pers, before and after the
raid of Jameson, showing
that revolutionary preparations
were far advanced when President
Kruger made concessions. The
town was practically in the hands
of the Reform Committee, whose
armed forces hauled Maxim guns
through the streets.
There was a crowded meeting
of Americans one night, to hear
the report of a deputation that
had met President Kruger. r.
f. Brown presented the report
and announced that the visit to
the President had been unsatis-
factory. No substantial redress
could be expected from the Boer
Government. John Hays Ham
mond delivered q rafting speech
III which he made these remarks:
Gentlemen: Today L hoisted
the flag of this Republic and made
every man swear allegiance to the
republican form of government
We stand pledged here, gentlemen'
pledged to pull down the first flag
not the Transvaal flag. L should
like to hear the opinions of others,
but if we are not manly enough to
define our position, we are simply
recreant to our own republican
form of Government. l doubt if
there is a man in this community
that has more pacific views than |
have or who has been occasioned
more anxiety.
Il have taken the responsibility
OF bringing i'll men and women
and children, and the miners can
go to the devil if necessary. But
the men and the families are here;
they are housed and we will pro-
tect them. There is no time to
talk politics. Mr.. Brown has come
back with message which is al
most an insult to our intelligence,
and l ask, Shall we stand it?' No;
and | propose that, following the
sentiment If 80 per cent. of this
community, we stand to a man for
true republicanism."
Mr.. Hammond's speech was
loudly applauded, and the meeting
broke up, after adopting a resolu-
ton indicating that the Americans
were prepared to fight, if necessa-
ry, for the principles of true re-
publicanism.
In its issue reporting this meet
ting, the johannesburg Weekly
Times says, "Whatever else may
be said of John Hays Hammond,
none can deny but that he is a
gentleman who Commands the ut
