Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1903-07-01

We are going to set out a new aspar-
agus bed this spring. and this is the
way we are going to do it: We will
take the plow and, going back and
forth, will open furrow just as deep
as we can, throwing the dirt out on
each side We will then put in the
furrow so made a foot or SO of rich
compost and cover it up with the pillow.
The bed will be single row eight
rods long. We then will dig up some
old roots of asparagus which will be as
big as a bushel basket and subdivide
these with sharp spade into eight or
ten pieces, planting these roots in
row two feet apart on the prepared
ridge. In. two years we will have fine
new bed of this delicious vegetable.
We do it this way because II is the
easiest way and takes the least amount
Of hand labor
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1903-07-01

Many soils rated as impoverished
ton of the humus which continuous
cropping has deprived them of. The
turning under of green crops is one of
the cheapest and easiest methods of re-
storing this humus to the soil. Any
soil which bakes and cracks after
heavy rains is deficient in this property
and should be treated accordingly. HUI
mus is absolutely Indispensable in the
elaboration of plant food
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1903-07-01

The ever present bad and impossible
roads of the west during the spring
months offer a serious obstacle to the
proposed consolidation of the rural
schools. At the time this is written. the
last of March, and where the writer
lives, II would be almost an impossi-
bility to attempt to transport children
to and from the school. Possibly this
might be avoided by having four
weeks spring vacation. ,4.-,..s:t--

THE LADY-BUG FAMILY.
Its Member Are the Fruit GroHers'
Best Friends and should Never
He Destroyed.

With their little red wrappers deco
rated with black polka-dots, the various
members Of the lady-bug family are gay
and attractive members of the insect
world. They are always mans friend.
and get most Of their living by preying
on the destructive soft-bodied plant
lice, the most common of which
is the green aphis, which can commonly
be found on house plants and rose
bushes. The most striking example Of
the usefulness of the lady-bug to the
horticulturists is seen in the case of
Nedalia cardinals, the bug which was
imported from Australia and which
saved the citrus trees of California by
destroying the cottony-cushioned scale
which was devastating the orange and
lemon groves. In the study of the
grain aphis it was found that a species
OF lady-bug preyed upon this pest. The
former were observed to go down among
the roots of the grain in the field in
search of the aphides, and to pass the
winter along with them in that situa-
tion. The larvae of the Iady-bug also
live principally upon insects which are
destructive to garden and field crops.
The dainty lady-bug should never be
destroyed.-Scientifc American.

POTATOMATO PLANT,
II Bears Tomatoes Above and POta-
toes Below and Is II Triumph of
Grating Art.

An anomaly in grating, being a plant
which is growing frst-class potatoes at
the roots and bearing fully developed
tomatoes at the stalk, was brought
about by Prof. Green, of the Minnesota
state school of agriculture, when he cut
off the young shoots OF potato vine
making V-shaped slit in the top. into
which he inserted a freshly cliDDed
young tomato plant, bound the Joint
with straw and supported it by long
rods. Nature did the rest.
The tomato drew sustenance from the
earth through the roots of the potato
and in return furnished what was re-
quired in the way of the action of LIGHT
and air upon its own leaves to its adopt.
ed roots.
The plant is now three months old
On pushing aside the earth several fair
ly developed potatoes are shown. each
a trifle larger than a large hens egg.
From the vines a half-dozen tomatoes
are hanging, in different stages of ma
turity. Several have ripened and ths
others promise to do so, as well.
The tomato vine loses it's identity at
the place where the graft was made
There are no leaves at all suggestive
OF the potato. The vine is fully three
feet high.-N. y. Herald.

Frederika, Ia, July l3th.-Mr. A. S.
Grover, of this place, tells an interesting
story showing how sick people may regain
stheir health If they will only be guided by
sthe experience of others. He says:
! Il had a very bad case OF Kidney Trouble,
which .tfected my urinary organs SO that |
had to get up every hour OF the night. !
could not retain my urine and my feet and
limbs begin to bloat up. My weight was
quickly running down.
After | had tried many things in vain,

cases.
This remedy has done wonders for me.

THE QUIET FARM LIFE.
There Are Bat Few Failures. Moral
or Financial, Among the TflIers
of the Soil.

l would not try to make every boy a
farmer, or every girl farmers wife,
but it does seem to me that we should
impress upon the children that, while
the opportunities to make great for
tunes will not often open to them on
the farm, there are less failures among
those engaged in our business than any
other. When we read eulogies on the
captains of industry, who have accumu-
lated fortunes in mining, commerce and
manufacturing, we do not hear of the
poor, miserable privates who have
fallen by the wayside, financial, moral
and physical wrecks.
Do not teach the children that life's
pathway is strewn with thorns and
brambes in all directions. Too much
teaching has already gone forth, and
the masses are pushing, crushing, surg
ing and jOstling against each other,
even to madness and destruction. Still,
in all this wild rush, we occasionally
see individuals who are quietly and
gently, with a pleasant word and smile,
making their way through the seething
mass of humanity, almost without dis
turbing it, and reaching the desired
goal. "As sorrow and weeping may en-
dure for the night, but JOY cometh in
the morning" so will peace come with
earnest, conscientious effort, aCcompa-
MED with consideration for others
