Usefulness Of the Garden.

A little while only and the prudent
farmer who likes his table to show 9TH
err and different vegetables than pota-
toes prepares his family garden before
he thinks much of field work. writes c..
W. Murtfeldt of Missouri. The same
kind of nan will not depend much upon
the women of his household to prepare
the soil for the reception Of spring seed
or planting. After the hearty foods and
meats of winter the palate Of the nor-
NAL man raves acids and delicate herbs.
snch AZ are used with salads. either let
tnce or sprouts OF horse radish or. spin
ach, and with these the early rEdish
and more largely the asparagus. This
latter most delicate and most highly es-
teeIned vegetable is already in the soil.
being perennial. But to make it grow
nnder the best possible conditions it
must br cultivated early. or. better. first
of all Its cultivation consists in hav-
ing the top soil and manure fined with
spade. fork and rake and all coarse
rubbish, removed Radislles. spinach
and even onions may he sown on the
same led. None of these vegetables
will draw much on the fertilizer which
formed the winter covering or top dress
ing for the asparagus.

FOR THE FARMER.
Girls Going Into Scientific Agriculture
Keeping Boys on FaEns-Better
Than Bristlas.

Fifty girls have taken up the study
Of, scientific farming at the Minneapolis
College of Agriculture. and the result
Of the new departure will be watched
with interest throughout the country us
affecting the welfare Of the sex. Ii the
innovation shall prove successful 1T will
naturally spread to other agricultural
states, and its most important results
may turf ont to he social rather than
directly agricultural in character. Hero
tofore one great drawback of farming
has been the difficulty Of keeping the
boys upon the farm. With trained and
educated girls taking up the profession.
the old homestead farming would take
on a new charm, and the hegira Of farm
ers' sons to the cities would be checked,
if not enti,ely done away with The
character Of instruction undertaken by
the young girls at the Minneapolis col

Growing Onions.

Two items are essential in growing
onions, says the St Louis Republic.
One is n rich soil. loany enough to be
readily worked into good condition.
the other is to plant early. In regard
to planting. the only safe rule is to
have everything in readiness, that the
planting can be done ut the first favor

days delay means II partial. il not com
