THE ASPARAGUS BED.
Unless the Ground Is Exceedingly
Well Drained, Spring Planting
Is to lie Advised.

Asparagus roots may be planted in
spring or fall, but unless the ground
is well drained, spring is preferable
Good strong one-year-old roots are
best. The soil should be made as
rich as possible. If very stony the
stones should be removed, as they
are much in the way of cutting the
stalks. In garden culture it is best
to dig trenches about three or four
feet apart and 12 inches deep;
then put in layer Of manure to fill
about half Of the trench after it has
been packed down. On this put two
or three inches of soil on which place
the roots, spreading them out in all
directions, and cover with fine soil,
packing down all around. The plants
should not stand closer than two
feet in the rows, and as they start to
grow more soil should be drawn into
the trenches until the surface is level
again. All that is necessary during
the season is to keep the ground loose
and free from weeds. To raise first
class crop the bed has to be manured
every year by scattering manure over
the plants in the fall. If white or
blanched asparagus Is desired, the
roots have to be set deeper and the
rows have to be hilcd up similar to
what is done with celery.-Barnum' S
Midland Farmer.

Rural Free Mail Delivery.

One of the phenomenal successes in
the development of our postal system
has been the extension of rural free
delivery. This was begun two or three
years ago, with an appropriation of
perhaps 100000. 1t has been extended
by degrees and with good judgment,
aud wherever it has reached, if reports
are TO be credited, it has been a very
considerable success. The postmaster
general now estimates that the system
can be extended over such parts of the
country as may use it to advantage at
an approximate cost of $50, ,5O0,0 900, and
he urges all kinds of reasonable econ
omy in the administration of postal
affairs in order to be able to ask for
fuller appropriations in this direction.
The estimate for maintaining free de-
livery in the next year on plans already
formed ID placed at $3,500,00o.

horses out, and as soon as they were
ready he and his brother started off
down the road in pursuit. Word was
sent to the police force in Champion of
the affair. Stuart remained with the
ladies for awhile, and then, as young
NaSplanc volunteered to escort them
home, he hurried down into the town
to investigate the matter He did not
believe any of the miners would do
such thing. They had done enough

them. but only when under the intlu-
ence Of drink. Besides. Nasplaine was
not an owner now, although he had
been years before.
Stuart found everything quiet in the
town. Nest of the miners were still
in De Mott. 1t was murmured that a
large load Of men was coming in that
night. He remained at the Office n
little while and then started out for
home.
AS he came out on the street he saw
the Salvation Army. 1t was kneeling
at the corner for its outdoor meeting
just before going to its hall to hold its
regular service. Rhena Dwight was
kneeling right on the hard stones of
the pavement Offering a prayer. Stuart
could not hear the words. but he could
see the pale, earnest face. He hesi-
tated where he was. He thought he
would go on home. Then he thought
he would go into the hall and see
what kind Of a meeting the army had.
At last as the army rose and went by
up the street beating its drum he turn
