All plans are completed for the
Y. M. G. A. lecture course which
opens in October. There will be five
members and all of the first class
and come highly recommended by the
bureau through which they were Sc
cured. The price for a season ticket
is 81, the same as last year The
tickets will be on sale from now on
and may be secured from members of
the association. Only limited num-
Der will be sold and for that reason,
it would be advisable for those con-
templating buying one, to secure it
at once.
The numbers will be given in the
opera house this year instead of the
Baptist church as heretofore. The
promoters think that the enter
tainment will be given to a better adj
vantage in the theater than in the
church.

grass or hay, which would have suf-

been destroyed by the fires and the
cattle die of hunger. Experience will

A young turnip is on exhibition
at the store of R. w. Gillian, that
balances the scales at just fifteen
pounds and can hardly get into
bushel basket. We saw a young tur-
nip, because the vegetable is only
half grown, and had to be dug up
by Mr.. A. B. Beall, because he needed
the space occupied by the turnip. That
shows what Caloosahatchee river soil
and climate will do. It makes things
grow SO big that they have to be taken
up before attaining their growth

Dehorning Cattle.

What cruel and senseless thing it
is to wait until the horns grow the full
size and then cut or saw them off. A
touch Of caustic on the points when the
calf is a week old, perhaps week later,
will prevent the horns from growing
and save all the trouble later, to say
nothing Of the shock and pain to the
full-grown animal

More Corn Per Acre,
More Profit Per Bushel

mich COW will produce nearly three
pounds Of butter extra, and the but
ter is much more easily marketed.
The farmer who will properly ap-
ply these farm tests will not sell
much corn at 90 cents bushiel, when
he can market with better results
and easier at an advantage of from 20
to 40 cents bushel, and be healthier
and wiser from his experience.

Salt For Asparagus.

Salt For Asparagus.
There used to be very common
idea that an asparagus bed needed a
coat Of salt every year or as nearly
that as possible. We do not know
how it originated Probably because
the plant originated on marine shores
where the soil was often quite salty
1t is fact that the plant will stand a
dose Of salt which will kill nearly all
the weeds in the bed But there is
no evidence that the asparagus really
thrlves any better for the application.
On the other hand all the results of
experiments seem to show that it is
not benefited in the least by the salt
In an editorial not long ago, we made
the statement that the asparagus bed
required more fertilizer than any
other vegetable which is cultivated.
In confirmation of this statement read
the following items from the horti-
cultural department Of the Southern
Cultivator
Outside and beyond the use of COM
mercia fertilizer on the asparagus
plat it is we'll to spread heavy top
dressing of stable manure at any time
during early winter. Mulch it "ankle
Deep" if possible. Too much can not
be used Afterwards use commercial
fertilizer as advised entirely ignor-
ing the lot manure. Are you afraid
to risk it? Try it for year or two,
on a small area and note the difference.
Asparagus is probably the one and
only garden product that can not be
overfertilized 1t will take all you
give it, and like Oliver Twist, "cry
for more" This to a great extent
it is the first of all vegetables to ger
may be accounted for by the fact that
inmate in the spring. By the time the
inevitable April drouth is at hand, it's
advanced growth shades the ground
and it does not suffer SO much as
other plants for moisture.
By-the-way, it should be mentioned
that the hoary superstition that COM
mon salt (sodium chloride) is indis-
pensab1e as an annual top-dressing for
the asparagus plat has long since been
exploded. 1t hasn't the shred Of an
excuses for still Hanging on the
clothes-line with the wash" Kainlt,
however, is another matter. Aspara-
gus is a gross feeder upon potash as
we'll as nitrogen, and this the kaln1t
offers; but common salt, SO far as IFS
manurial value is concerned, will not
pay for the hauling.
