Augusta people will be interested in
the announC ement that Rev. Wallace
Nutting has resigned the pastorate of
the Union Congregations church OF
Providence. r. l.. which he has held
for the past 10 years. Mr.. Nutting as
a boy lived with his uncle, II. s. Rob-
erts of Manchester. and attended the
Cony High school in this city. Later
he graduated from Harvard and has
been most successful in the ministry.
Before going to Providence his pas
torates were in st. Paul and Seattle.
In the latter city his church grew from
200 to 800 members while he was there
and built a $1,000 church. Early in
his present passionate at Providence he
paid off a debt of $4,000 His salary
there is $4,000 annually. Speaking of
his rcsigna ton Il Providence paper
SAYS: Mr.. Nutting has had continuous
and heavy responsibilities since, on
leaving the seminary he entered the
ministry. He is neither broken down
nor suffering from any disease, but
plans a little rest and does not desire
Immediately to take charge of Il
church Mr. and Mrs. Nutting reside
at their own home in Edgewood. and
have made no plans beyond the first of
January This action on his part lies
wholly with himself, and that this is
true to an unusual degree is shown by
the fact of the great sorrow that pre-
walls in the church because of his in
tended departure. He believes that
the church requires at least double
pastorate. and as he is himself in need
of rest. he feels that it is advisable
that he should not attempt to carry on
this extensive work longer than to the
BEGINNING Of the new year.

GROWING ASPARAGUS.
Time to Start a Patch Is in the Estss
Days of Spring When Growth
First Starts.

A grower of asparagus writes: First
of all, l have to say that if had piece
of warm, sandy, well-drained loan avail
able for the purpose l would think the
best time to start an asparagus patch is
at once, without more delay than neces-
sary to secure lot of good plants, after
the spring growth starts. Usually
would prefer to grow my own plants,
and grow them in good, rich loan, and
properly pushed and thinned in order to
get good, large, one-year-old plants,
which think are far better than the av-
erage run of two-year old plants that one
can buy.
I make the ground very rich; in fact,
1t cannot be made too rich. ! give each
plant plenty of room, not less than
dozen square feet. plant them deep, so
that shallow running pillow will not in
jure the crown.
To renew an old plantation, pillow 1t
over shallow, applying manure or any
good commercial vegetable or potato
manure containing good percentage of
potash. Amy Of our standard varieties
may be used.
Palmetto seems more liable than 9TH
ers to resist the rust attacks. Columbian
Mammoth white is good.
If you wish to raise your own plants
next year, sow the seed thinly in drills,
the drills being foot or II inches apart,
by hand or with a~garden drill. Do
this early in the spring, while the ground
is yet quite moist. The seeds are large
and hard and require a good deal of
moisture to terminate.
In a dry time the seed maybe soaked
for a few hours in hot water. 1t will
then sprout much more promptly. Clip
ping a corner of the hard shell off each
seed will serve to hasten the process Of
germination.-N. Y. Farmer

CURRENCY IS INSURED.
Money In Transit Protected By Pol
icies Against Every Pos
sible Hazard.

The careless way in which large pack
ages of bank notes are tossed through
the windows of the New York post office
for transmission to out-of-town points
has excited the wonder of persons fa-
miliar with the risks involved and the
sums at stake. The movement is spe-
cially heavy just now, states the New
York Post of recent date, aggregatinS
from 100000 to s., OOO, 900 week, and
including consignments from most OF
the large banks and banking houses in
the city. The currency is sent every
where in single packages containing
$4,000 or less, protected by policies OF
insurance protecting the owners against
every possible hazard at rates varing
from Is cents to so cents per 81 900 OF
currency insured. Most of the notes are
SIS, $40 and $40 denominations, besides
supplies of ones and twos for use as
'hand-to-hand money" for crop move
ment purposes.
These transfers go to all sections OF
the United States and Canada, Great
Britain and the continental points. The
DuSluSSS lids uO" SIO"A W IdI "
portions and is written by some of the
strongest insurance companies Of Eu-
rope and America. One very interesting
claim paid few days ago was for the
loss of parcel containing ZOO in bank
notes shipped through the mails by
Canadian institution. The destination
was a small post office, where the bust
ness was so light that the postmaster,
not having the use of a safe in which to
store valuables, was forced to take home
every night undelivered registered mail
that had arrived during the day. The
package of bank notes was taken out OF
the Office in this way, and just before the
postmaster reached home he was at
tackled by footpads and relieved Of the
money. The loss was Immediately re-
ported, and the insurance company at
once reimbursed the institution, at the
same time offering $500 reward for the
detection of the thieves. The case has
not been cleared up yet.
Packages containing $4,000 of insured
bank notes were on the train that went
through bridge in southern state
last week. New York underwrit-
ers were much concerned over the Incl
dent until they discovered that the car
in which the insured packages were
stored remained safe on the rails. The
largest single risk ever written was TAX
en- in England some time ago, when one
package containing $25 5000, 900 was in
sured

REGARDING PEAR BLIGHT.
Eradicate the Germs by Cutting and
Burning All Infected Twigs
and Branches.

The New Jersey state horticultural
report gives hints in regard to pear
blight, which those who are intending
to plant out pear orchards, or who
have them, will do well to bear in
mind. The first caution is to manure
and cultivate the tree so that it will not
grow too rapidly. Trees that are highly
fortified with pitrogenous manures are
especially liable to blight. This would
bar out heavy manuring with horse,
sheep or hen manure, and the blowing
under of clover, cow peas, rape or al
most any green crop. Manure only
sufficiently to secure a good crop and
no more.
Exterminate the blight germs by cut
ting and burning all infected twigs and
branches as soon as seen. Do the same
by any blight seen on apple, ounce,
crab, mountain ash, service berry and
hawthorn, as it is the same disease and
will spread to nearby trees, and some
times a quarter of a mile at least in ia
vorable winds. Cut them out when seen,
and make thorough inspection and
clean up before spring. Then keep a
sharp outlook when the leaves start
for any place missed Or where cutting
was not deep enough. Then cut two or
three inches below any wood that seems
diseased, and keep the knife sterilized
by dipping in diluted solution of car
bolic acid.-Midland Farmer.

buy, because they are so near the place
of planting that they can be trans
planted.without much exposure to sun
light and drying winds.
No. seeding apple stocks, Fig. /,
may be purcha sed at Sc to SO per
1000. All dirt should be washed from
them, so that the knife will not be
dulled when cutting them. If not
ready to use them at once they should
be kept in moss or sawdust in moist
place at temperature as near 80 de-
grees as possible.
Scions should be cut and stored IN
the same way. The scions should be
the last seasons growth from the out
side shoots of trees that are producing
large crops of desirable fruit.
Get twine or coarse, strong thread
saturated by drawing it through hot
grating wax. and strips of cloth or
cheap tape one-half inch wide waxed in
the same way for tying and covering
the grated surface. Use thin, sharp
knife, ground with the bevel on one
side, as shown by section in Fig. 2. A
common shoe knife is generally most
satisfactory. After grinding, the edge
should be made fine and keen upon a
hone or oil stone, so as to make clean
cut, as success depends more upon the
condition of the knife than any other
one thing.
When all is ready with roots, scions,
knife, string and waxed cloth or on a
bench and seated in chair of just the
right height, a root is taken in hand
and cut made at the collar, a, Fig. /,
as shown in Fig. 3, the point show
ing the tongue that is cut next. A
scion is then taken up and similar
cut and tongue made, Fig. a, when
the root and scion are placed together
and the two tongues pressed firmly as
in Fig. 5.
The next step is tying the gratis
with the waXed thread. Fig. 6, and
covering the whole with the strips of
waxed cloth or tape, Fig. Z. When a
large number of CRAFTS are to be made,
Is to Is roots are cut at once, after
which the scions are cut and fitted to
them. Tying is often done after sew
eral hundred CRAFTS have been made.
After the CRAFTS are all made and
waxed, they are packed in sand, in
boxes, so that they shall stand upright
until planting time. The box, little
deeper than the length of the CRAFTS, is
placed on the end or side and a thin
layer Of moist sand or soil spread over
it. Then a layer of gratis is put on
this, then more sand, pressing it very
firmly about the gratis, especially
when the cuts come together, and so
on until the box is full or all the gratis
packed, when it should be placed in an
upright position.
The gratis keep and make the best
union if kept at about 33 degrees, and
should not be allowed to get too dry or
be wet too much.-Farm and Home.
