At this season of the year the cost Of
keeping poultry should be but very little
compared with the winter months, and if
eggs are lower in price the profit may
therefore be nearly as large as when
prices are high. The cost of keeping
poultry in confinement will be greater
than when the fowls have a range, SO
far as the food is concerned, but more
land is necessary for the. fowls that are
at liberty All kinds of poultry prefer
grass and animal food to grain, and seeds
form a large share of the food secured
by the birds when they have an oppor
tunity to forage The active breeds, such
as Leghorns, will give much better results
when they can run at large, as they are
not disposed to be contented when con-
fined.

FELT AND LOOKED LIKE A WRECK.

Mr.. Oscar r. Palmer, a salesman,
aged twenty-four years, whose ad-
dress is care of w. Cogswen, Il spen-
Ger court, Brooklyn. N. Y, writes:
about fourteen months ago I was
taken sick and lost two weeks from
business. The main troubles were in
digestion and bad stomach. The two
caused me to become very nervous,
and my friends all said looked like
a wreck, and I certainly felt that way
as there was no ambition left in me.
Our family physician gave me medi-
cines and I really began to lose all
faith in him, as nothing would help
me. Ny chum asked me to try Ri
pans TabuIes. But I refused because
I thought If the physician could not
help me I was sure they could not.
However, he was persistent, and final
ly I agreed to oblige him. He gave
me three Tabules and was more
than surprised to find a vast change
in my condition. The following morn
ing I awoke very hungry, something
which had not happened in a year.
My head was also very clear and my
stomach seemed to have gone through
an entire change, and can Nv ap-
preciate the value of Ripans Tabules.
If instead Of going to a doctor 1 had
bought the TabuIes, there is No d5ubt
my pocket would be in better nnan-
cial condition. I am taking the Tab
ules ever since and hope to condn-e,
and If any one who is afflicted will
come to me I will explain my case to
them, as I will not tire of telling my
experience and how I was helped"

THE METHOD OF DAMAGE.

AS there are several enemies of aspara-
gus, the work of this pest should not be
confused with the injury of the European
asparagus fly, which mines into the stalk,
while the asparagus miner simply works
beneath the outer bark or epidermis and
deVours all the green portion Of the plant
between the epidermis and the bast or
wood fiber. Five or six of the maggots
will usually completely girdle a stalk.
The puparia are always formed within
the mines and generally below or near
the surface Of the ground, where the old,
dead stalks remain moist. Although this
pest has been carefully watched during
the past four years no noticeable injury
from it's work has ever been detected on
cutting beds During last year they were
apparently more numerous that before
and did considerable injury to seeding and
newly-set beds. The injury showed itself
by the plants turning yellow and finally
dying much earlier. than they naturally
should do. Possibly the fact that the
structure of the asparagus plant is such
that lit can withstand g1rdling much bet
ter than more woody plants accounts for
the injury not being more easily noticed.
Furthermore, the life history of the pest
Is such that the first brood cannot get
much of a foothold on cutting beds, espe>
cially where ridging is practiced. Al
though the injury to cutting beds is not
noticed there is no doubt that the plants
are materially weakened later by the at
tacks of the pest At present 1T is not
known what natural enemies this pest
has, and no parasites have as yet been
bred from the puparia- The only enemy
noted was another fly, which was not
identified, but which fed UPON the fly OF
the asparagus miner.

The use of the trowel or dibble in set

Fruit growers, gardeners and farmers
have mere dread of the STOPPING all day
in transplanting than of any other work.
1t may not be known that inventive ge-
MUS has brought forth the trowel hoe,
which is a tIowel eight inches long and
four inches wide at the broadcast part,
having a long handle like an ordinary
hoe. The labor saved with this imple-
ment. and the ease with which such a
trowel can be used, compared with the
short-handled trowel should render it
indispensable to those who transplant
garden plants and small fruits.
Tomato plants should not be put in the
open ground until danger of frost has
passed and the ground is warm The
soil should be rich and the roots of the
plants should be put in deep. OF the va
rieties there should be a few plants of
the early-bearing kinds, followed by
some well known standard kinds for the
main supply. The "Stone" is one of the
best varieties, but seedsmen are intro
ducing many new and meritorious varl-
cites every year.
