GIVE THE BOYS POULTRY.
One Way Of Inducing Children to
Work contentedly and Hap
PLY on the Old Farm.

AS usual, there is loud complaint from
farmers that the children brought up on
the farm are getting uneasy and want to
try their wings elsewhere. This is not to
be wondered at when these young people
hear and read of what is going on in the
world. The monotony of country life
seems unbearable to them, especially
when from the farm they obtain only
plenty of hard work, the food they eat
and the clothes the wear. True, one
may say that is about all anyone gets
out of life, but ii we can plan some way
by which the young people can make a
start for themselves they will be much
more contented.
The indianapolis News thinks that
poultry offers way of trying out the
feeling of the young folks at small ex-
pense. Give them chance to raise
poultry and have the proceeds for their
own use, and in year or two they will
have become reconciled to country life
and be willing to make it their future OF
they will have shown their utter lack OF
adaptability for it, in which case the
best thing for them and for the parent
Is to let them leave the farm and take
up the work for which they are better
fitted, but don't lose your grasp on the
young people without first giving them
a chance to do for themselves on the
farm and show what is in them.

he had promised, as Proctor had such a
convincing way about him. "Proctor's
apples are always good on top" said the
secretary in commenting on the pleasant
promises the senator makes. Public
speakers like to go to Vermont, how

they are certain of a delightful outing

New England hospitality.

BIG MONEY IN AsPARAovsA
Demand for This Vegetable Is In
creasing Steadily and the Mar
ket Holds Good.

Most farmerswould think $45 an acre
for manure would be an extravagant!
outlay of money. But down in New Jer-
sey they spend that much for stable
manure at $1.50 ton, and consider it a
good investment Naturally they DO not
raise corn or wheat or oats on that sort
a All. They raise asparagus, and get
from $500 to $3.50 per acre returns from
it.
Experiments from four different kinds
OF fertilizer show that stable manure
brings the largest returns. The differ
ent fertilizers used were as follows:t
Manure. $45 per acre; complete fertily
izer, $12.93; complete fertilizer, bone
and potash, $18.29; complete fertilizers;
bone and potash and nitrate of soda,
$21.91.
There is a constantly increasing de-
mand for asparagus, the market holdr
good, and is likely to for years, yet hun
dreds OF farmers who own good land near
large cities go on year after year rair-
Ing corn, oats and other crops which
yield them a bare living. Asparagus is
a sure crop, sure sale and always
profitable.
The soil should be plowed in the fall
and sub-soiled, then turn double fur
rows i've feet apart. and place the roots
hve inches below the surface. Strew
about one-half the fertilizer in the bot
tom of the furrow, mix it with the soil
and place the remainder on top after
the roots are planted. Manure can be
applied after the plants have started to
grow with good advantage. Place the
roots about 30 inches apart in the rows.
Before the growth starts in the spring,
work the ground thoroughly with disc
and harrow, and then cover the rows
slightly with the single cultivator
shovel set to throw dirt outward. Gull
tivate every ten days thereafter, and
keep the soil in fine condition.
II bleached asparagus is desired, throw
ridge of soil over the row as soon as
growth is started, and cut as soon as the
shoots show through this ridge a
length of six or seven inches. If green
asparagus is wanted, cover with only
about three inches of soil, and cut the
shoots four or five inches. From Is to
80 cuttings per year can be taken from a
good asparagus bed. The soil requires
plenty of manure every season.-Clin-
ton M. Shultz. in Farmers Voice.

and the herd has
been augmented this year by the addi-
ton of Is calves born late in June and
early in July. These little fellows are
all spry and healthy and bid fair to be-
come lusty additions to this part Of the
government possessions.
If the increase of this herd were to be
kept an enlargement of the park would
become necessary. The government
cannot sell them, but the superintendent
of the park proposes to trade them off
for other animals. The herd of buffalo
also has been increased by the addition
of buffalo calf which is strong young
animal likely to reach maturity, al
though born in captivity. Altogether
there have been born at the ZOO SO ami

The town of Bladensburg has grown
very little since that day, and two o.
three old buildings still remain as they
were 80 years ago, when they afforded
shelter for troops on both sides. There
is nothing, however, about the capital to
indicate that it was burned, as the build
ing has been enlarged and rebuilt sever
al times since that disastrous day. The
British soldiers on that occasion used
the congressional library, of some ID 900
volumes, as kindling for the fire that
Quilted the capitol building. The white
house also was burned, the outer walls,
however, remaining intact and much Of
the interior arrangement. The story is
told that President Madison, during
whose administration this war occurred,
was so confident of American victory
that he had prepared a feast for the
American commanders, to be partaken
of in the white house when the battle
was over. The feast was prepared, but
the rout of the American troops through
the capital warned the president that it
would be well to seek safety across the

leaving the tables spread with the good
things he had prepared for the Ameri-
cans. This feast, it is said, was enjoyed
by the British when they reached the
white house.
This hasty departure of President
Madison is denied and it does not agree
with the well-authenticated story of the
action of Dolly Madison, the beautiful
mistress of the white house, who had
time to remove much of the furniture
from the mansion before the British en-
tered Washington. The fine, full-length
portrait Of Gen. Washington, which has
for century or more occupied the place
OF honor in the executive mansion, was
rescued by Dolly Madison on this occa-
sion. She had the presence Of mind to
cut the picture out of its frame, conceal
it in a roll of carpet which was taken
across into Virginia and preserved until
after the war, when 1t was brought back
into its place in the mansion.

New Remedy for Insects.

The fact that the odor of moth balls
is extremely repugnant to house insects
has suggested to some ingenious mind
the use of this remedy against outdoor
pests. A New York farmer who was
much annoyed by the ravages of
striped beetles on cucumbers employed
moth balls with such success that his
neighbors are initiating him. He
placed clam shell (hollow side up)
in the center of the hill, with about
five balls in each SHE'LL, This might be
tried with other injurious insects

STRAWBERRIES IN BARREL.

as shown, plants are set in these holess
and the barrels filled with soil to the
top. The average yield OF berries is.
over one-half bushel per barrel. The
greatest advantages claimed for this
method are that no mulch or cultiva-
ton is necessary, that the berries are,
always clean and free from sand, and
are far more readily picked than whens
grown in the usual way. A tile is placed,
in the center of the barrel as it is filed
with soil. This permits an even dis

Gated within the District of Columbia
just north of the city proper and within
mile or two of the soldiers home.
President Lincoln, who lived at the SOL
diers' home during the summer, went
across the country mile or two to the
front of the union line and stood on the
Notifications to observe the movements
of both armies.
1t is related that his tall figure was
made the target for the bullets of the
sharpshooters of the confederate forces,
and it was only at the solicitation of the
officers in command that he agreed to
retire from his exposed position. A
story is told that Lieut.. Col. John M.
Frazee, who was in immediate command
of the fort, ordered President Lincoln to
retire from the parapet. The latter
turned to him and laughing1y declined
to heed the order, saying that he was
himself commander-in-chief of the
army and not subject to any order. His
escape from death or injury on this oc-
casion he's often been referred to as
miraculous, as he was in plain view Of
the enemy and within easy reach of their
sharpshooters, who occupied places Of
advantage in the branches of tall trees
and behind fences.
The hardness Of the government to
recognize just claims is evidenced by
the fact that an old colored NANNY"
named Betsy Thomas, free negro, who
owned the property taken by the gov
eminent for the Notifications, has not
yet been paid. She is now 80 years old,
but still lives in hopes that congress will
reimburse her for the ground taken. A
bill in her behalf has passed the house
and is now in the senate committee and
favorable action may be had at the com.
ing session.

WASTE MUST BE STOPPED.
Many Farmers Fail Because They Do
Not Practice Any Rational Sys-
tenn Of Fertilizing.

On the average the American farmer
wastes each year more than enough to
keep his family. Enormous wastes are
going on in many ways, but the greatest
one is the waste of farm-fertility.
Preserve what fertility is already in
the soil, and put more in it. 1t may be
that some farmers do not know the value
of manure. as some are giving it away
in order to get it out Of the way. Others
are burning the straw-stacks instead OF
using thestraw for bedding, which would
increase the value of the manure. know
this from observation. Farmers waste
much of the value Of manure by putting
1t in piles in the barnyard, and letting it
take the weather for months. If the
yard happens to be near creek or pond,
great part Of the fertility finds its way
into it, and probably one-half of its value
/ is lost.
think that II some Of our farmers
could visit among the rural population
of Germany, and note their methods for
saving manure, most of them would take
q lesson home with them. Most of the
German farmers are successful, and
their success seems to be due to the care
full saving and applying of fertility.
Why cannot we stop this waste by
saving and applying all the manure, by
keeping more live stock, by cultivating
our soil properly and retaining the ele-
ments Of fertility, and by studying the
subject and applying the thoughts
gained? We must stop this waste II
we want our land to be kept in high
state Of fertility-E. ]. Waterstripe, in
