Fertilizers for Asparagus.

Manuring asparagus is often done
in the late fall or winter. In the mid
die and eastern states, stable manure
or bone and potash is applied, to be
lightly plowed or narrowed under in
the spring when some heterogeneous fer
tilizer is usually added. Compare
lively few careful experiments in the
fertilization of asparagus have been
conducted to show just what elements
are most needed for this crop in the
light and sandy soils upon which it is
Usually grown. At the Rhode Island
station, however, lime has had Won
lerful effect in promoting a rapid
growth of asparagus. Nitrate of soda
has there proved to be much superior
to sulphate of ammonia as source of
nitrogen for asparagus. Here we have
two very important points that it
would pay all asparagus growers to
experiment. upon in a small way.

family had ruled Samoa for hundreds
of years previous to 1889, when Great
Britain, Germany, and the United
States decreed Mataafa should step
down and Malietoa, who died recently,
rule the islands. Malietoa did not
want to be King and asked that Mataafa
be allowed to keep his seat. The
powers would not have it, however,
and Malietoa became King, with
Mataafa as vice-regent. Then re-
bellion broke out, foreigners having
encouraged discord between King and
former ruler. Mataafa was defeated
and sent into exile. For years there
has been an agitation for Mataafa's re-
lease from exile, and the United States
Government is said to be we'll disposed
towards him because of the service he
rendered Uncle Sans seamen after
the Apia disaster in 1889.

ine to the act of Congress Of January
IA. 1889, the consolidated Chippewas

on their reservation was stopped
eighteen months ago aud that their

bushels of vegetables and $50 tons of
hay, besides cutting more than 400
cords of wood. From the sale of part
of their products and from hauling
freight they realized in cash $1050.
OF the 64O0 Indians on the reservation
in 1890, 1000 wore American clothing,
1000 could read and 1900 were church

John r. Bottineau, Chippewa
Indian who is at present in Washing
ton, says: ''The ugly spirit and dis
position of the Pillagers to hold them
selves aloof from both white men and
other bands of their tribe have caused
them to be charged with many viola
tions of law which perhaps should
have been laid at some other door.
That naturally e1asperates them, and,
with good deal Of whisky, has oc-
casioned the present outbreak.
"I believe this trouble was caused
by members of the tribe getting hold
of whisky. The officers of the law
heard of it, found the culprits and de-
tanned them. In the meantime de-
puties were sent out to secure wit
nesses, and the more witnesses the
officials summon the greater the

Look Out for Broilers.

While it is little early to talk
about broilers it is good subject to
think about and prepare for. During
March, April and May there is a de-
mand for chicks weighing from one and
half to two pounds exceeding the sup
ply. Chicks Matched in January and
February so that they will have ten
or twelve weeks growth are the kind
wanted for the broiler market. It is
estimated that it costs ten cents to
:aise chick to the two pound weight,
and broilers bring from thirty to sixty
cents each, SO there is good profit in
:he business. An incubator to hatch
The eggs, brooder for the newly
Matched chicks and brooder house
,re necessary. Try the business on a
small scale, learn how tc handle the
incubator and brooder, and how to
iced the chicks judiciously and mex
oensively, and in year or two ex-
perience will show you how you can
raise broilers in quantities that will
pay handsome profit. This is good
work for the farmer, for it comes at a
lime of year when the farm work con-
lists mainly of chores.-Atlanta Jour

Easy WAY to slim Roses.

Slipping roses is as difficult thing
to some, perhaps, as it once was for
me. But since trying the following
simple method, have had no trouble:
In the fall, before frost comes, Sc
cure as many varieties of rose slips as
+ can. These I place in a little trench
burying the larger part of each slip
md leaving about two inches above
ground. Next. I take several old
glass cans, which have saved for the
purpose, and turn over the slips. If
the cans are cracked, it does not mat
ter. My rose slips are then left in
this condition until spring, when l re-
move the cans and find they have
rooted and are ready to transplant to
mounds or borders, and will soon be-
come thrifty little bushes. Helen E.

A NIisleadine NIefanhor.

In the Pail Mall Gazette William
Archer discusses the real rather than
the sentimental relationship existing
between America and England. In
part he writes: ga misleading meta
phor may do great deal to beget and
perpetrate confusion OF thought, and
such metaphor, suggest, is that
which describes England as the
"mother country" of America. Ten
nyson has given it literary sanction in
the line Gigantic Daughter of the
West" and Mr.. William Watson, in
his sonnet beginning 80 towering
daughter, Titan OF the West" repeats
the phrase without misgiving. Both
poets ignore the fight of time and
mistake historical for an actual rela-
ton. The America of to-day is not
the daughter of the England of to-
day."

Potatoes Grown in Ridges.

1t is from force of example and
habit rather than from closely study
ing tie subject that the great majority
of farmers plant potatoes in hills.
Wherever the crop is largely grown
for market, putting the potatoes in
drills and ridging the soil over them
is found the more economical way, and
also to produce the largest crop. The
advantage of the hill method is that it
enables the farmer to cultivate the
rows both ways But if he uses his
opportunity to ridge the potatoes when
covering them, and afterwards harrows
down the ridges, all the good effect of
the cross cultivation will be secured
and more cheaply. The potato crop
will be larger, and if care is taken not
to put in too much seed, there will be
larger proportion of potatoes OF mar
ketable size.
Most of the new variety of potatoes
bunch themselves in the hill, and with
most of them there is too much vacant
space between hills three feet apart
each way, which is the usual distance
for potatoes in hills. At a distance of
fifteen to eighteen inches in the rows
there will be continuous mass of
potatoes, while if the rows are two
feet ten inches apart the potato tops
will nearly meet between them. With
a potato coverer, drawing the earth
from between the rows to the potatoes,
one cultivation should be made after
the potatoes are up. This should,
within "a hours, be narrowed down,
going across the rows with heavy
drag, which will leave the ground
nearly level again, and will greatly in
crease the vigor of the potatoes. This
covering and narrowing must only be
done when the soil is dry. If rains
come so that the soil would stick to
the potato leaves, it is best to do with
out this second covering.
By keeping the cultivator at work
all the time, and running close to the
potatoes while the plants are small,
weeds can be kept down among drilled
potatoes as we'll as they usually are
when the potatoes are in hills. There
will be some weeds come up among
the potatoes in either case. We have
always found some hand work needed
to remove these in either case. But
it should be done while the plants are
small, and to remove those that es-
capped being covered by the soil thrown
up by the cultivator among the pota'
toes in the rows.
Not more than two good eyes should
be put in place when potatoes are
planted in drills. If we could be en-
tirely sure of the seed one eye in a
place will produce as good a crop as
any, with very few small potatoes. In
hills where the whole potato is often
planted the proportion of small pota-
toes in the crop is too large to make
the crop profitable. = American Guilt.

Rye Straw in Bundles.

The rye--crop is more generally
;hreshed with fail than is any other
grain excepting buckwheat. The lat
:er is -threshed by hand because it is
sasy to beat out the grain, which is oil
in bunch at the top and does not re-
Iuire handling the large bulk of straw,
except to remove it after the threshing
is done. In threshing it is important
to disturb the bundles as little as pos
sible. The bundles are unbound so
MS to spread the grain out and lay all
the rye heads on the floor so that the
grain can be beaten out of them. But
after this is done, the bundle is care
tully rebound, and with the grain out
is worth as straw very nearly as much
as at first.

shall on warrants proceeding al
ways resented, either openly or secret
ly. by Indians, for they can never be
made to understand why white men
should interfere to the extent OF de-
priving any one of them OF his per-
sonal liberty. To the Indian, even
under the conditions of to-day, con-
fnement in prison for even short
term is equivalent to q sentence OF
death, and the records will bear out
the assertion that few Indian prison
ers survive term of Imprisonment OF
more than three years. They are
peculiarly susceptible to home-sick-
ness, which, among Indians, IS real
disease and commonly has fatal
termination. 1t is on this account
that an arrest, with the subsequent
imprisonment, is so obnoxious to an In
dian that he will often fight to the
death rather than submit.

Leaving $500 men. women and

CORY, these include the Pillagers, who
number about $50 men and 75O women
and children. They do farming in o
small way. Nearly every family has
O little garden between the stumps OF
the land that has been cleared, and
most of them have permanent homes
built of logs, with cows, horses, pigs
and chickens. During the summer
they fish good deal and putter about
their gardens. In the winter they
work in the logging camps and hunt
for food and turs. Seventy per cent.
of the labor in the logging camps and
sawmills on the Pillager reservation
is performed by the Indians, and they
make good wages, but spend most Of
their money for whisky.
The Pillagers have always had $
bad reputation for thievery. 1t il
said that the name they bear was lie
rived from that characteristic. They
have never been famous for fighting;
but for plundering they could holo
their own against all competition.
They have not made the same pro
gress in civilization as the other bands
of Chippewas, and by their exclusive
ness and conservatism have earned S
bad name in their tribe.
Their unpopularity among Other
branches of their nation will, it i,
thought, prevent any sympathy or as
sistance from reaching them. The
missionaries have made little pro
gress among them, and Bishop Whip
pie, of Minnesota, said that they hac
refused schools and religious privilege,
that had been offered, and Archdeacor

bedding Tulips,


No other Towering plant can equal
che tulip for effectiveness when planted
in beds. The large flowers with their
bright colors closely massed together
present boldness and beauty quite
impossible with any other garden
plant. In all the northern country
our gardens, the best of them, are in
describably dull during the winter
months. What little we may do with
bright twigged and bright berried
shrubs and coniferous evergreens to
enliven the grounds, only accentuates
in degree the general gloom of the
winter garden scenery. But on the
return of spring and the blooming of
the snowdrops and crocus, tulips and
hyacinths, the sensation received is
that of abundant and vigorous life; it
is light and Joy where before only the
sustaining power of hope could allc-
viate the prevailing darkness and de-
preston.
OF all the spring blooming bulbs the
tulips should be planted in the great
est profusion and they should be
placed where they can best be seen
from the windows and from the street,
thus bringing into the strongest prom
inence the evidence ofreviving nature.
Later in the season the garden has
other and numerous attractions which,
by their diversity, compensate for the
blaze of bright colors SO desirable in
the early spring, and is afforded es
pecially by masses of tulips.

Old gummy wicks, or such as have

frequently start up high blaze and
smoke some minutes after they have
seemed properly regulated. If not
soon discovered, the lamp chamber
