THE NEIGHBOURS HENS.

1t is now that the neighbours hens be-
come an active factor as affecting the
peace and good will of most country
town communities 1t cannot be and 1t
should not be that any well disposed
and God fearing citizen should calmly
and for the sake of peace endure hav-
ing his premises raided by a lot Of
destructive fowls belonging to his
neighbor, no matter how good neigh
Dor he or she may be. This nuisance
is best fixed early in the spring by a
plain, straightforward talk and the
emphasizing of the fact that If your
neighbor will keep chickens in town
and allow them TO run at large, he will
do it at his own risk so far as you are
concerned. No man should be expect
ed to hedge his town premises In with
chicken tight fence in order to re-
lieve himself of this nuisance. 1t is
better to have the jawing over this
matter before the hens are turned
loose than after they have torn up your
flower beds and garden.

THE ASPARAGUS BED.

No little spot of the garden can be
devoted to better use than to an as
paragus bed This delicious esculent
comes early and stays till the green
peas are ready, and nearly all like it.
We have before given directions how
to secure a bed but do it once more,
for there are always some who forget
This is the way we made our own bed:
We spaded up piece Of ground s by
% feet to depth of one foot and thor
oughly enriched it. We gave neighbor
$1.50 for fifteen old roots, each as big as
half bushel. cut these into four or FIVE
pieces with sharp spade and planted
these chunks two inches below the sur
face and four feet apart one way and
three feet the other, then covered the
bed with three inches of we'll rotted
manure, kept the weeds out and let it
grow the first year without cutting
Next year we had fine crop, the bed
furnishing all the family needed for
seven weeks. The bed has been grow
ing better every year since. In this
way one can get crop about two years
sooner than where the Seeding plants
are set out.

chickens for dinner, or cut into nice
home cured ham in the smokehouse,
or dig into jar of homemade sau-
sage, or take her pick Of lot Of choice
canned fruit, or whether she has to
order all these things by telephone
from the town grocer. 1t is fact that
nearly ali of the town mans salary
has to go for these very things, and this
is why it is that the mechanic, the
clerk, the laborer and the small trades
man rarely ever can do much better
one year with another than make both
ends meet. This fact is worth think
ing over.

BUGs, BEErLEs AND BACTERIA.

BUGS, BEETLES AND BACTERIA.
1t may be wet season or a dry one,
hot or a cold one. it matters not
which, but every man who tills the
soil and grows cereal or fruit crops or
domestic animals of any kind can alb
solutely depend that he will have the
ever increasing host of insect and bac-
terial pests to fight. Civilization dis
turbs the natural order and economy
of the universe and the balance of
the species of varied animate things.
There is hardly fruit plant or animal
today exempt from the destructive
work of parasitic life, this condition
largely aggravated by the ignorant
stupidity Of man himself in the de-
struction OF bird life, in the massing
and continuous growing of one kind of
crop or domestic animals on the same
ground year after year. The fruit
borer kills his apple and peach trees.
the cankerworm and the codling moth
take his apples before they ripen, the
curculio ruins his plums and the aphis

sprayed, the smut gets the oats and
the blight the wheat; the corn has

veloped ear-worms, bugs, beetles, bac-

The one year renter is the bane Of
western agriculture. His brief tenancy
precludes anything like systematic
rotation of crops, the keeping Of stock
to consume the products of the farm,
the growing of clover crop, and in
evitably insures a continued process of
soil robbing and land skinning, with
but small profit to himself and the
owner of the land.

Good farming is well nigh impossible

You may greatly increase the yield
of your potato crop by cultivating
them every third day after the plant is
six inches high until the blossoms ap-

weather is at all dry during that pc

probably be continued so long as the
vines remain green. AS rule, the po-
