Bucket Shops.

Bucket shops are coming into their
own nov at rapid pace. Missouri
has lately run them out and the Massa.
chuSettS state senate the other day,
without dissenting vote, passed a
bill prohibiting their operation. The
bucket shop is an outlaw in Kansas
and in a majority Of the remaining
states. There are those who defend
public gaming places as being a less.
.er evil than the multitude of privare
gambling places which it is contended
will spring up in the absence Of the
former, but even the most liberal Of
these will not stand as apologists fol-
the bucket shop. Bucket shop gam.
bling is a species of thuggery. Your
money is taken away in semigenteeI
manner, possibly, but it is netherthe
less taken away. No one ever has
run for his money in the bucket shop
sort of speculation. And he never
gets back that from which he has once
been parated.-Leavenworth Times

countryside from Alma to Wame-
go has been laid waste by such
bug or bosom as the killer deemed
. most suitable to his season, and
the morning and the evening
. journals tell of the wrack it hath
wrought.
On the morning of the second
day his pals, disguised as bulls
wit fierce horns, rush into the pits
where are bears, and by loud bel
ct lowings and fierce demeanor be,
, come possessed of the large por-
tons of juicy meat upon which
the bears fan would feed. even to
fairness, the winter through.
In good time the killer putteth
out to sea. not in a cattle steamer,
but in a sumptous yacht, wherein
he continuously maKeth merry,
with music and maidens, and
chortles newspear chumps who
wasted their substance in spread
ing his poison exactly as he would
have it spread at their own ex.
pense, in turgid type, on the frCnt

About the selfsame dav the
farmer, konwing the heat and
burden of the season so near at
hand. calleth about him his men
servants an his maid servants ant
telleth them to prepare TO a big.
ger job of hary esting than they
have ever tackled before, while
he goeth in his automobile at dawl
seeking to lease the highway fol

Faeta About Aanarsnus.

Asparagus plants or roots can ba
grown from seed in any good ordinary
soil II well enriched and thoroughly
prepared by plowlng or spadmg They,
however, succeed best ia deep, sandy
loam
AS the shell Of the seed IL very hard
and gcrmlnauon somewhat slow. It Is
thought advisable TO cover seeds with
hot not boilingl water and leave them
to soak until cool. repeating this once
or twice, when they should at once be
sown, says a writer in Gardening.
Owing 10 the slow termination Of
seeds and slow growth of young plants
great care should be taken that the lat
ter are not choked with weeds, and
aside from this danger the growth Of
these or Of any young plants is greatly
assisted by frequent shallow cultlva-
ticn.
1t Is generally advised by wrltera
that plants should be thlnned TO two
or three inches, but I do not do this
unless by accident the drill has sown
more seed than l intended. nor do /
think IL is nov customary with large
growers.
One ounce Of seed will SOW about
sixty feet Of drill and produce from 200
to 800 plants.

IMPROVING A PASTURE.
hanurial Treatment - Altering tho
Character Of Herbaee.

hanurial Treatment Altering tho
Character Of Herbaee.
A considerable improvement can bs
made on most poor pastures by suit
able manurial treatment where there Is
no deficiency IN the supply Of moisture.
The principle Of improvement con-
Rlsts IN altering the character of the
herbage by reuderlng the chemical con-
dition of the soil favorable 10 the
growth Of while clover and plants Of
the same natural order
The growth Of such plants among
other effects increases the soils sup
ply Of nitrogenous material, and in old
land hay diminishes the deman0 for
direct nitrogenous manuring.
Use Of Basic Stag.
Direct nitrogenous manurinG and the
manurial residues from Tne feeding of
grain TO the grazing stock are unprof-
table and ineffective I'm the early stages
Of pasture improvement, according TO a
writer in American Culuvator.
Abundant supplies OF available phos-
phate, potash and lime are necessary
to promote the growth OF clover. The
seed must be sown II the plant Is total
" absent and there are no dormant
seeds IN the soil.
The cheapest combination Of avail
able phosphate and lime is furnished in
basic Stag, and this manure has Ia gem
eral been demonstrated to be the most
profitable form In which TO supply
these ingredients. The application Of
lime alone has been uniformly unprof-
table. Ground lime and superphos-
phate make a more costly combination,
and, though an Improvement is effected
In pastures, it has not been proved
equally profitable.
For Leguminous Crops.
Potash Is especially necessary for
leguminous herbage, and the addition
Of kainit to the phosphate dressing
has been proved to be profitable on a
considerable range OF soils from the
beginning. 1t is probable even on those
clay soils which are at present regard
ed as exceptions, that after the first
year the soils supply OF available pot
ash will require to be supplemented in
order TO maintain suitable conditions
for the production OF a nutritious and
well mixed herbage.
