SOIL IMPROVEMENT.

Professor Newman, of the Arkan.
kas station, in bulletin No. II, says:
Every cultivator of the soil should
have for his chief aim it's permanent
Improvement. 1t costs no more 10
grow a crop of wheat, corn, or cotton in
rich soil than on poor. The increased
Weld above the cost of production is
broft. If one acre will produce twelve
bushels, there remains a profit OF si2
bushels per acre. If another acre pro-
5uces twenty-four bushels at the same
cost, there is a profit of eighteen bush
Els, an increased profit of 800 per cent
from doubling the yield. There is no
pne thing that the farmer should keep
more constantly in mind than the ne
ressity of increasing the fertility OF
producing capacity."

KNITTED
Coffee knitted an Old Soldier.

An old soldier, released from coffee
at 70, recovered his health and tells
about it as follows:
"I stuck to coffee for years, although
it knitted me again and again.
about eight years ago (as a result
of coffee drinking which ~congested my
liver, 1 was taken with a very severe
attack of malarial fever.
81 would apparently recover and
start about my usual work only to suf-
fer a relapse. After this had been re.
peated several times during the year ]
was again taken violently i'll.
"Tl doctor said he had carefully
studied my case and it was either quit
jcof e or die advising me to take
Postum in it's place. 1 had always
thought coffee one of my dearest
friends, and specially when sick, and
/ was very much taken back by the
Doctors decision for l hadn't suspected
the coffee l drank could possibly cause
my troubles.
81 thought it over for a few minutes
and finally told the doctor l would
make the change. Postum was pro-
cured for me the same and made
according to directions; well, l liked it
and stuck to it and since then / have
been a new man. The change in health
began in a few days and surprised me.
and now. although l am seventy-two
years of age, | do lots of hard work
and for the past month have been
teaming, driving sixteen miles "a day.
besides loading and unloading the
wagon. That's what Postum in the
place of coffee has done for me. l now
like the Postum as well as l did coffee.
Il have known people who did not
care for Postum at first, but after hav-
ing learned to make it properly accord
ing to directions, they have come to like
it as we'll as coffee. l never miss a
chance to praise it." Name. given by

ASPARAGUS BEDS.

For small beds of asparagus for
home use the owner can well afford to
take a little extra pains in the prepare.
ton of his bed, and it will make very
little difference as to the nature of the
soil, provided the work is thorough IN
preparing the trenches for planting.
These should be made about fifteen
inches deep and twelve inches wide
Cart away the poor subsoil or clay, re
placing it with good garden loan, in
termixing a liberal quantity of stable
manure and sand. In the absence OF
the n a good reliable brand Of
commercial fertilizer may be used in
the same way. Fill the trenches to
within six inches of the top Of the
ground; then plant the young roots one
foot apart, and cultivate as above de
scrlbed for field culture. Since such q
bed, so prepared, may be expected ia
yield a fine product for many years,
the extra labor aid expense should not
be considered for the initial planting
The cutting Of asparagus should not
be continued too long in the season; ii
would finally exhause the roots, hence
1t is customary to stop cutting about
the latter part of June, allowing the re.
naming shoots to grow on, and thus
accumulate sufficient strength to pro.
duce another crop of shoots the next
season. The plants, n and two year
old crowns, are now obtainable every.
where at a very moderate price, go the
raising of these crowns from seed may
safely be left to these making this
their special business !

THE COWS APPETITE.

When the cow loses her appetite in
winter, discontinue giving her grain
and substitute a peck Of cut raw pota-
toes for a few feeds. This fails
to bring a COW back to a keen relish
for grain after a day or two. Judici-
ously fed in this way, they become as
valuable as grain-in fact, of more val
ue, for they act as an corrective-and
instead of the COW shrinking badly, as
she is quite sure to do if the grain Is
continued until she sickens of it, or
1t is removed entirely, the feeds of po-
tatoes restore her appetite, regulate
the condition of her stomach and bow
els and careful weighings have failed
to show the least diminution in milk

NEED OF IMPROVED MACHINERY

Good machinery and labor-saving
tools are becoming more Of a necessity
every year. Labor is the largest bill
of expense on the farm, and any tool
that will lessen labor is a money
saver. The "hired man" who can do
almost anything, and works faithfully
for his employers interest, is not so
common as he used to be. There Is
still good farm help to be had, but the
supply is not equal to the demand. Our
bright young men have been lured
away to the city by the prospect OF
better wages and less arduous labor.
When we think Of the way work was
done on the farm fifty years ago we
can hardly blame them; but now, aside
from the lack Of society, the young
man can do as well on a farm. as at
manual labor in the city. In fact, he
will have more money at the end OF
the year, for while his wages may not
be as large, his expenses will be pro
portionately less.-Farmer's Voice.

SALT o BUTTER.

The keeping quality and taste of
butter depends largely ON the quail

that contains lime and magnesia, the
two principal impurities, is unfit to

tween the best salt and interiors grades
is slight, while that between good and

DIFFERENT KINDS OF WEEDS.

There are many different kinds of
weeds, and some Of them start off
early in the spring, almost before the
frost leaves the ground. 1t is the early
weeds that give the farmer the most
trouble. If the land was plowed last
fall. cross-plow it the coming spring,
and then harrow or cultivate it as Of
ten as can be done until time to put In
the seed. Every time the land is cult
waited more weeds will terminate to be
killed, and the more weeds that can be
destroyed before the regular crop
the fewer there will be to com
bat later on.
