To Prevent Black Rot.

AS a preventive of black rot in vine
yards next season the North Carolina
experiment station recommends that
all dead leaves and rotten grapes be
raked up and removed and rotten
grapes clinging to the vines and trel-
Uses picked off.
Loose shredded bark that can be
readily pulled from the vines prun-
ings. dead grass and weeds should be
burned: in fact. anything capable of
harboring the dustlike spore should be
destroyed or taken away
While the vines are still in dor
mant condition. spray with the copper
sulphate solution. thoroughly wetting
the vines and posts. and paying par
ticular attention to punches of tendrils
or rough surfaces on the posts that
would be likely to retain the spores. 1t
Is much easier to keep black rot out of
vineyard once cleaned than to keep
it down in vineyard not cleaned.

Asparagus for the ia miiy.

One hundred plants will furnish the
average family with supply Of this
most delicious early vegetable. They
should not cost over 81. and hence in
stead Of being looked upon as a luxury
1t should be common in every family
garden. Rich sandy soil Is best, but
1t will thrive in any soil If given n
reasonable show. Palmetto, Conov-
er's. Colossal and Baris Mammoth are
recommended as very satisfactory va
rieties. The plants should be set as
early in the spring as possible. in rows
30 inches apart and IS in the row.
Plant in holes or trench. six inches
deep, filling it up gradually, and do not
cut the stalks, except sparlngly, until
the third season. 1t readily responds
to good care and fertilization and
should be literally top-dressed with
manure each fall.

Wedding Out the Cows.

l operate farm dairy, make but

in my opinion you cannot too strongly
urge the farmers who keep cows to
keep a daily record Of what they are
doing, weighing each mess of milk
and testing often enough to get an
average of it's butter-fat, so that at
the end Of the year they can tell just
what each COW is worth. from butter
point of view. For more than two
years we have done so. At the end
of the first year. although we thought
our herd was all good. we found
twelve out Of twenty-five cows that
did not pay. We sold these and re-
placed with others: some of our own
raising and some by purchase. This
year we find 30 per cent profit over
last year We have not found the
daily record hard to keep. Few farm
ers stop to figure. A cow that pro-
duces 200 pounds Of butter per year
from $50 worth of feed. which sells for
20 cents per pound. leaves only $40
for care and the risk. The COW which
makes 400 pounds of butter from $50
worth of feed leaves $50 for care, risk
and profit, besides whole lot Of sat
isfaction to her owner You never
know which cow makes this profit for
you except by using the scales and
the test.-F. c. Shepherd, in National

She never had dreamed Of thing to do

And she could not write sonnet;
She had not a face that could lend

And the joys Of life seemed longer.
While childhood chung to her loving hand

Her stainless monument shall be

inches apart in the row (set with an

method the plants become dense. and
consequently darken the lower parts
Of the plants, causing the celery to

grown in single row and be blanched

both rows. Bundles should be at least

On Sowing Clover.

Sowing clover is an absorbing ques-
ton with farmers who desire to keep
up the fertility Of their land. When
seed is high there is always a DISPOSE
ton. with some, to defer sowing clover
until another year, and pillow up the
fields again. Seed may be cheaper
next year, you know. This manage
ment may have kept these same fields
under the pillow for years, making 1t
more uncertain to secure aycatch, and
requiring more acres. every year, to
secure the requisite amount Of grain
1t is unwise and foolish to fail to SOW
clover because seed is dear.
