SPADE AND IRRIGATOR.

of this kind that the portable irrigator
here pictured will be found of service,
owing to the direct treatment of the
roots which it makes possible.
At first glance this implement might
be mistaken for an ordinary garden
fork, and, indeed, it may be used as one
when not in service as an irrigator.
The tines are hollow, with passages
leading into the shank and connecting
with the hose through which the IT.
rigating or fertilizing liquid is sup
piled. At each tine point is an enlarged
cap, with sharpened end to penetrate
the earth easily, the openings in the
soil being slightly larger than the body
of the tine, in order that the earth
may not clog the perforations through
which the liquid escapes.
Not satisfied with allowing the water
to flow through the tines of its own
accord, the inventor has provided a
pump in connection with the handle,
which first draws the liquid from the
reservoir and then forces it into the
earth in proximity to the roots of the
shrub the gardener is treating. John
F. Chase, of ST. Petersburg, Fla, is the
inventor.-C Chicago Daily News.

THE ASPARAGUS BED.
1t Needs Considerable Care i'm the
Fall and n Layer of Salt in the
Early Spring.

The asparagus bed is usually plant
ed in light soil, if possible. The roots
should be planted in trenches about
six inches deep and IL inches apart
in the row, and covered with only
three inches of soil at first. The
trenches should be filled in as thu
plants grow. In preparing for mar
ket, asparagus should be cut four
or five inches under the ground when
about three inches high.
The asparagus bed is much more
likely to be neglected in the fall
than in the spring. Before Septem-
Der the tops should be cut and the
beds cleared of weeds. It is very
important that all seeds should be
taken off, as the most troublesome
weed in an asparagus bed is the
asparagus between the rows. Next
the bed should be covered with about
three inches of coarse manure to en-
rich the soil and keep out the frost.
In the spring the coarsest manure
should be removed and the finest
Ioi hou III 'oiy carefully, SO DIS noG To
injure the asparagus itself. Forking
the beds is very important, as the
early admission of the sun and rain
into the ground induces the plants
to throw up shoots of superior size
and quality. The best growers gen.
orally cover the beds with half
inch layer of salt in the early spring

There is probably no other portion
of the labor of caring for plants which

affecting their growth very materially.
