be sown in drills one foot apart and
when the plants are four or five inches
high they should be thinned out so
that the plants will be nine inches apart
from each other in all the rows. Great
care must be taken for the first year to
keen down all weeds as soon as they
appear, else they will choke up and de-
stroy the young Seeding asparagus.

Spring Cleaning.

Spring cleaning need not necessarily
be made the drudgery it is if properly
done. Paints, floors, hard walls and
windows may all be cleaned without
rubbing, by wiping over with strong
suds made of Ivory soap and hot, soft
water, then rinsed and dried. A room
thus cleaned will be fresh and sweet,
with no unpleasant odor of strong
soaps or cleaning fluids

build a canal 800 feet wide and % feet

about four miles. For nearly all Of this
