The Culture of Asparagus.

If one is desirOus of the earliest
use of the bed, plants one or two
wears old can be bought from a gar
dener or scotsman, but otherwise
the plants are easily started from
seed. The seed is sown like
any annual in drills one foot apart
and two inches deep in rich,
light soil, thinned to one inch apart
when the plants are well started, and
given frequent and thorough cultiva-
ton during the summer. When the
plants wither, cut off the tops and
cover the bed two inches deep Wlth
we'll rottcd stable manure. The
Sants should be transplanted into
their permanent bed the following
spring, before growth starts. The per-
manent bed should be duS 10 depth
OF at least two and half feet and
literally enriched with we'll rotted
stable manure thoroughly worked
into the soil. The plants should be
set with the crowns four inches be

in setting, and the plants about one
foot apart in the row. and given fire.

There is a great waste Or Ine and

especially when the hens pr ar the

more grass, seeds and insects than

Vain" Of Skim Milk FOR laying Hens

Value Of Skim Milk FOR laying Hens.
The Department of Agriculture has
received a report from the West Nir-

made to determine the value OF skim

In the first test, which covered 122
days, % hens fed skim milk laid
1874 eggs Us compared with 996 eggs
laid by the % hens fed mash wet

laid S62 eggs in 81 days as compared
with G32 eggs laid by a similar lot

ZINC TUBS.

Zinc tubs are usually made Of sheet
iron. This is galvanized by dipping
it into a solution cif zinc, which. when
cold, forms a thin coating on the
metal. This preserves it and pre-
vents it from rusting. Zinc tubs and
pals should be we'll dried and turned
upside down to prevent rust and to
keep clean.
Zinc tubs have certain advantages.
They are lighter, therefore require
less labor to move. and they are also
cheaper than wooden tubs. But they
do not hold the wringer unless fitted
with wooden cleats and clamped to
the wash bench-New York Press.

"Miss Petticoats," Oct. 4.

The charm Of locality has much to do
with the success of book or play and
when that locality is rich with original
characters who have 4 distinct flavor
Of their own, then the success is
doubly assured for it is a remarkable
combination not often found in any
play. When Miss Petticoats" Was
first written, the charm of its scenes,
laid in quaint whaling port, and
parts Of Paris. made the success Of the
book and its admirers have been ever
anxious since then to see the whole
some. generous-hcartcd folk Of New
Bedford with their spicy wit, move
upon the stage and have their being
among us. The play was first pro-
duccd at the Boston Theatre and re
ccIved enthusiastic praise from the
large audiences that crowded the i'm
ncnSc house. It had every element
for Il successful season ana was called
an ideal play because Of its ri"h,
local color and brilliant character
tlra wing. The plot has a great swing
to it and seems t" develop itself With
but little help from the author which
is the true keynote of success.
The pet name Of Miss PctticO2tS'

grandfather who brought her up in an
old-fashionaI manner on board Of an
ancient whalcr that was tied up to the

as the companion of Il rich Old lady and
how she finally came into her own cs-
tates as the Countess Fornay. is q

friends follow her fortunes and the

merry old sea-dogs in the ballroom OF
the Countess is one OF the laughable
scenes that highly amusc the audicnrH
