Asparagus and Strawberries.

There are certain things which many
home gardens do without largely be-
cause the reward of effort is not OBJ
tanned during the first season. People
who live on rented places seldom start
asparagus beds and strawberry patches
On account of the possibility that they
may move to another house, and thus
lose the benefit Of their planting. Yet
in many cases they remain year after
year, and might be reaping the reward
Of their labors had they been less sell
fish and more willing to take a chance.
To one who really loves gardening the
pleasure of watching a young asparagus
plantation grow or new strawberry
patch develop is in itself sufficient
reward, but in most cases there is every
pro liability that the following season
and many seasons thereafter will find
the family in the same home enjoying
the Strawberries and the asparagus.
Two methods are open in planting an
asparagus bed. One may SOW the seeds
and grow the plants, waiting until the
following season to set the roots in their
permanent location; or one may buy
roots from the nurserymen and set out
| at once permanent bed. The former
IS the less expensive method, while the
| latter will save years time in bring
ing the bed into bearing. Each gardener

own conditions. Among the best mod
ern varieties Of asparagus are the fol
lowing: Elmira Argenteuil, Barr Is
| Mammoth, Donald IS Elmira.
| No season of the year is so advan-
tageous for making a strawberry patch
as early spring. Good plants are then
readily obtainable. and during the wet
weeks of April and May they have a
splendid opportunity to become thoroly
established in time to send out run,
ners thru the summer that will fur.
nish a large supply of plants for fruit
ing the following season. The best plan
is to start a new strawberry plantation
every spring, and dig up the old one
after the season s fruiting is finished
One thus avoids getting the ground full
Of grass and weeds, and also avoids
much Of the injury caused by insect
and fungus enemies. Among the best
strawberries now available are the Mar
shall, Senator Dunlap, Sample, Bubach
| Crescent and Warfeld.

A Method in Planting Flowers.

Among the most suitable flowers for
the lawn are the hyaeinth, narcissus,
jonquil, iris, peony, phlox and holly
hook among the perennial variety, and
the nasturtium, marigold, pansy and
candy tuft among the annual flowers.
They should not be planted after the
usual method, in formal beds Of geo.
metric design in the center Of the lawn,
but about a border of shrubbery mass
es. The opening between the branches
of the shrubs can be filled in with
these bright Towering plants. Each
species of flower should be massed by
itself in the shade Of the shrubbery
branches. If the flower groups blossom
ing from early spring to late in autumn
are interspersed among the shrubs, the
shrubbery masses will be frightened by
their bloom during the entire summer
- The best care that>can be given vines
shrubs or flowers is to keep the sol
broken SO that it will not form crust
An ordinary garden rake or hoe will
answer this purpose. If the soil is
kept loose and fine for one inch in depth
between the plants, it will hold mois
ture as well as keep away intrudine
weeds. ~ -

Fourth of July Chri.tmase.,

In other days the Catholic and
Episcopal churches celebrated Christ
mas much as Americans now OBJ
serve the glorious Fourth. Roman
candles, skyrockets, firecrackers and
general rejoicing and noisy hilarity
marked the day sacred to the birth Of
the Prince of Peace. The idea was
that the occasion was joyful one and
men should vociferously attest their
happiness. Echoes Of these old cele-
brations are still heard in portions of
the south which were settled by the
cavaliers. Under the reformation,
however, and especially under Puri-
tanism, this form of observing Christ
mas was done away with. In the ear
~ days Of New England Christmas
was scarcely observed at all, and it. is
only in comparatively recent years
that the present custom of giTings and
feasting was revived in sections where
the Puritan had held sway.

In England gets a boost by the recent
vote in the commons Of 3S4 to ITO for
salaries to members of that body. The
amount is only $1,000 a year, but it

hands for support shall not be de-
barred from the lawmaking depart
ment Of the government.
Heretofore the representatives of la
Dor unions and some of the members
from Ireland have been supported in
the house Of commons by outside
funds. At present there are factory
lands, miners, farmers, sailors and
skilled mechanics holding seats, and
