THE PEDIGREE ALONE We

THE PEDIGREE ALONE WON'T DO.
The pedigree is all right in itself in
selecting breeding stock of what ever
kind. In cattle breeding is, perhaps,
more neglected than in other kinds.
In word of caution on breeding, Prof.
Boss, of the Minnesota Station, says to
young breeders that beginners in live
stock breeding seem to expect the
pedigree of an animal to make up for
lack of feed, poor quarters, and poor
management. This, of course, will not
do, but well bred pig, if given good
care and comfortable quarters, will
unquestionably give better returns for
the money invested than any number
of scrubs can do.
Many breeders overlook the fact
nat in stock breeding like produces
like" just as surely from poor indi-
widuals as from good ones. This is
evidenced by the number of scrubby
Individuals that are often seen II,
breeding herds, to be sold to some one
who sends mail order. 1t is mat
1er of doubt whether or not the scrub
by pure bred is more likely TO bring
5crubby offspring, than is even the
Scrub without pedigree. The fact that
4he good lines have been concentrated
Ior some generations and that an eff
Gort has been made to keep the ami
nal pure in breeding emphasizes the
likelihood of like begetting like, and
scrubby pure breeds are the result
unless the inferiority of the pa
rent is due to poor care rather than
poor breeding.
The pure bred pig that is scrubby
is likely to be a cause of damage in
the breeding herd of the owner, and
to injure the reputation Of any breed
which may be unfortunate enough to
possess animals of this description.
The only pure bred pig that should
lie used as the breeder is the one that
is good as an individual and whose
ancestry have been good individuals.
All others should be consigned to the
packer.

U. S. Postal System.

One of the signs of growth in our
postal system appears in the employ
ment of women. Up to 1862 women
had never been employed in the SER
vice. Then they were admitted to
the dead-letter office-eight of them.
Now of the 1875 employees in the
department in Washington. 500 are
women, and there are in the whole
country 27,600 women employed,
generally in the stamp delivery or
money-order offices, and receiving
salaries running from $500 to $1,70O

they hold water readily. By pour

ASPARAGUS.

There is no garden complete without

supply an ordinary family with this
healthful and appetizing food. will
give information for starting an as
paragus bed large enough for home
use. If for market the bed can be
enlarged, the culture being the same.
Also if for market the roots should
be set Ike feet apart, while for home
use, or in a small bed, the roots
should be set 12x12 inches apart.
Select a place on the south side OF
,he fence, if it is board, rail or
picket fence, to keep off the north
wind. The bed should have plenty of
sunshine. The ground should be rlch,
black, sandy loan, free from gravel
and stone and well drained as posi-
BILE. Prepare your bed in the fall.
First cover your ground with good,
heavy coat of we'll rotted horse ma
pure. Work the manure into the
ground at least Is inches. The richer
the soil the better the shoots grow.
If the shoots grow rapidly they will
be sweet and tender. Then the next
,pring work in the soil some more
well rotted manure and pulverize well.
Next secure two year-old roots of some
Seedsman, and set in rows 4 inches
deep. Do not try to raise your own
plants, as they take great deal OF
work and care. The rcots can be pur-
1hased at $1.00 per 100.
Do not cut any of the shoots that
rome up the first year. Give thorough
and frequent cultivation during the
Iuinmer. In autumn, when the tops
are fully ripe and yellow, they should
be cut and burned. In the fall cover
ihe bed with coarse horse manure.
then in the spring rake off the ma
Aure, spade in heavy dressing OF
yell rotted manure, and l quart OF salt
10 each square yard.
The second spring few cuttings
can be made. Cultivate till the plants
meet in rows. Afterwards keep free
from weeds. The third season the bed
can be cut over five or six times,
which is the limit for an asparagus
bed After the cutting season is over
give the bed a good, heavy coat of
horse manure, ashes and salt. The
ground can never be made too rich for
asparagus, and it is always sure to
produce crop.
Sometimes young asparagus beds are
threatened by the asparagus beetle
In such cases scatter air Stacked lime
freely over the foliage, when heavy
with dew. An asparagus bed when
well established and properly cared
for will last for years. There are
many ways of preparing this plant for
