ASPARAGUS CULTURE.
Some Valuable Hints from One Who
Has Grown wi~ Vegetable.

In a recent letter, Mrs. F. r. Grimes,
one of the most successful asparagus
growers in the nation, has the follow
Ing to say of the culture of that ex-
cellent plant:
There are two methods by which
plants can be secured-from seed and
from roots. II the roots can be OBJ
tained from reliable firm, this is the
quickest way to start bed, and the
earlier returns will more than pay for
the plants; but roots should not be
over two years old. Stunted roots and
two-year-old-roots are so nearly alike
In appearance that an unreliable firm
will sometimes palm the former off
for the latter. Some time ago the writ.
er ordered $50 of the two-year-old
roots, and, at the same time, planted
roots grown from seed from the home
garden. Those from the nursery did
not show spear above the ground
while home grown plants have formed
thrifty body, but roots can be pur
chased from reliable firms with good
results. The writer has had good
success taking up the young plants
that had grown from a fallen seed in
an old bed. These plants should be
taken up after a rain, being careful
to take up enough soil so as not to
disturb the young plants. If plants
form clump, leave them together;
dig a hole large enough to- set the
roots in az if they had grown there;
place in rows or beds In shady
place, where the ground is cultivated.
These plants should not be disturbed
till two years old.
IF one cannot secure plants from
an old bed, buy seed from reliable
firm. The seed should be sown early
in the spring and when plants are two
years old transplant into bed where
the roots can remain permanently. If
properly cared for the bed will be
profitable for % years. The selection
of the ground is quite important If
for early use, or for market and If rap
Id growth is desired, the soil should
be little sandy and should lie where
1t can have the direct rays of the sun
The ground should be as free from
rock, rubbish and weeds as possible.
This soil should be heavily covered
with we'll rotted manure. The ground
plowed deeply and well pulverized.
The rows should be marked out with
a plow, making a furrow six inches
deep in which to set the roots. The
rows should be four feet apart. AS
paragus should not be cut till the
second year after planting, and the
seasons cutting should not be pro-
longed later than the middle of June,
as this would be injurious to the life
and vitality of the roots"

HILLSIDE APPLE ORCHARD.
An Ideal Place for the Setting of Fruit
Trees.

If possible, select hillside for the
new apple orchard.
Have it on the side Of the hill that
gets fewest of the heavy windstorms.
This will often save the apple crop.
Plow the land deeply, running the
washing. If the soil is very light
leave an unplowed strip here and
there to further act as check to
washing.
If the trees are to be set out this
spring, manure heavily in the burrows
This will secure the full benefits of the
manure and prevent some of 1t being
washed away.
If the supply of barnyard manure is
short put in phosphorus, potassium
and nitrogen in some form or other
Give the trees good start so they
can make good roots the first year.
Use varieties that have been demon.
strated to be the best for the locality
and go slow on the kinds that have
not been sufficiently tried.
Head the trees Tow, says the Farm
ers' Review. This is the more neces
sary if they are on high locations ex
posed to the winds. Low headed trees
lose fewer apples than high heaAd
ones.
On the hillside do not plant other
crops except grass, II the land is very
sloping. The ground should be en-
couraged to grass over and form a
good sod as quickly as possible.

The CoLoneL's Campaign
BY CHARLES MoREAU HARGIs
CCopyr1Ki.t.)

Col. Leith was proud of his posses
sion. The big, red, vociferous car ex-
actly suited his mood-for he liked to
do things hurriedly; he worshiped
swiftness. Even now he had left the
fort by the valley road and was
dustily tearing toward Rockwell City,
four miles away.
SO Col. Leith went unconsciously on
his way, driving his motor car faster
and faster-until something happened.
Something usually does happen with
motor cars. Several things hap
pened first and last with this one and
the colonel.
This was a comparatively harmless
happening. He cavorted around the
bluffs by the city's edge, careened
through the deep cut by the river
and came plump on Grace Dewey,
daughter of the best known ranchman
in the valley.
Her mount reared, but trained
horsewoman that she was, she kept
her seat in the saddle. The car
wheezed and the horse reared again.
This time she did not keep her seat,

mp tho ravine, as IL it, too, were
working for speed record.
To make the incident the more strik-
ing, Lieut.. Roberts just then came
cantering down the highway, his ac-
coutrements jangling and his cavalry
charger doing its prettiest gait.
Roberts and the colonel were at the
girls side simultaneously.
Il am sure l did not mean" be-
gan the colonel.
Let me assist you, miss" and the
lieutenant was lifting her, his arm
around her shoulders and her jaunty
hat resting against his coat sleeve. At
that identical moment the lieutenant
and the colonel parted company as
friends. They did not realize that
they were at the separation of the
ways, but It was so. Miss Dewey
opened her eyes. looked into the
colonel's face; then recognized the
1ieutenant-and Strengthened up, fully
recovered. They were not strangers;
ail had met at Mrs. Marson's recep-
tion month before.
Il am not hurt-not hurt. But
where is Rex?" she asked looking
anxiously around

colonel, bowling with awkward and
old-fashioned courtesy, that he is just

IRRIeATINe A GARDEN.
Cheap sub-lrrlgation Plant Which the
Gardener Can Install Himself.

The garden plat should be nearly
level, and near enough to the force
pump or supply tank to be supplied
from hose. The pipes used come in
eight-foot lengths, are of galvanized
iron and one inch in diameter. They
are not soldered, so have an open
seam the entire length. These lengths
are fitted together like stove pipe, so
you can add as many as you need.
The supply pipes are two inches in di-
ameter and soldered. l have three
boxes, explains the writer in Farm
ers' Mail and Breeze, made of one by
six fencing 16 inches deep, tight at
bottom, but loose cover on top.

GARDEN NOTES.

Much of the fruit shipped to mar.
ket is picked when too immature.
The tomatoes need to be started
early, so that the plants will have
obtained good size by the time they
can safely be set out in the spring.
Remember. the currant and goose,
berry worms can easily he killed by
spraying the bushes promptly with
one ounce of white hellebore dissolved
in three gallons OF water.
Pick off all the blossoms from new.
ly.set strawberry beds. thus you sand
all the plants strength back into
themselves-into growth. 1t is unwise
to Lot plants fruit the first season.
