Cnre in Selecting Eggs.

Much depends upon the selection Of
eggs For Matching. Eggs for Matching
should be Of uniform shape and size
and thickness of shell. Rough-shelled.
dirty, notified and eggs with thin shells
should be excluded. Eggs which are
over five days old should not be used
Every egg when laid should be care
fully dated, to show when taken from
the nest in order to avoid error on this
point.

Packing hogs are of a poorer grade
than butcher hogs. They include old
brood sows and other hogs which are
heavy enough for this class and not
good enough for the butcher hog class
except the very poor class, such as
boars, roughs and coarse stays. About
40 per cent Of the hogs that go TO the
Chicago market annually are of this
class. What the breeder wants to do
is to avoid raising such hogs.

Asparagus Grown from seed.

The following suggestion from a Kan.
sas writer on growing asparagus from
seed Is easy to follow on any farm:
Asparagus is a paying crop, and one
that is easily raised The plants may
be grown from seed at very small
cost. Plant the seed in good garden
soil, keep well cultivated the first year
and transplant to a permanent bed the
second year. Make the soil very rich,
pulyerizlng it thoroughly, and set the
plants two and one-half feet apart In
rows three feet apart. In the spring,
before the tender stalks shoot up, sprin-
klc the top of the ground along the
rows with common stock salt. Keep
weeds down by cultivating ON mulching
preferably the former, II the season
is not uncommonly dry. A bed located
on south slope will bring very early

farm with pigs or any other animals
To- many farmers, in attempting to
make money by increasing the number

than can be properly cared for, thus

HOSPITAL WILL Be INSURED NOW
State Board Of Public Lands and

The Nebraska stale insane hospital

were discussed this morning, the

The board has had the matter under
consideration for some months, the
question having been raised by the
fire at the Hastings institution a short
time since, at which time enough prop
erty was destroyed to have paid for
a policy several times.
Years ago all the state buildings
were kept insured, but as the cost of
the policy was so great, the state Off
GERS concluded it was cheaper for the
state to carry its own risks, and this
has been done since then.

Plan to Spend $500 Per Month on
League Players Next Season.
Norfolk sportsmen have about given
up the idea of joining the state league
baseball organization, but Fremont
will take up the matter. The Tribune
says:
Fremont will have a baseball team
the coming season, but will not join
the state league. That was the verdict
of about fifteen leading enthusiasts
who met at the city hall last night.
The meeting was enthusiastic con-
sidering the season of year and the
fans are hopeful in consequence of it.
NJ. A. Repass was chosen president
and Supervisor Al Evans secretary.
The sentiment was that a state league
in which players would have to be en-
ployed to play every afternoon of the
summer would prove too expensive.
1t could not be expected that the gate
receipts would meet the salaries, car
fare and board of twelve players,
which would be necessary for each
town
The men present last night were of
the opinion that about $500 a month
could be raised in Fremont the coming
summer to pay good team. This
amount with the gate receipts, would
provide a very reasonable sum. 1t
would mean sufficient money to pay
all the players salaries ranging from
