sets in. There is NO danger of getting
the soil too rich. Starved roots are one
great cause Of rust.
The next fall after setting give the
bed a heavy coat of stable manure,
and the spring following use nitrate
of soda. After that it is advised to
use stable manure. Que year and com,
Of soda every spring.
In preparing for asparagus it is best
to select a piece of ground that is we'll
drained and one that has had good
manuring and clean cultivation for a
year or two previous to planting.
Plow as for other crops, but make It
as deep as soil and good judgment will
permit. If subson is hard and COM
pact, subsoiling would be beneficial
The asparagus plant is comparatively
a deep rooter and has been known to
be traced over three feet below the
surface. Flowing may be done at al
most any time, but at time of setting
back furrows between every row.
Then make a row for plants in each
dead furrow. Use no stable manure
in rows at time Of setting. 1t induces
mice to work there. and they will kill
good many crowns. Chemical fer
tilizer or good grade of bone dust
and little muriate of potash, mixed
and applied in burrows after the plants
are set, are beneficial; also light dress
ing or two Of nitrate of soda through
the growing season is valuable.
Frequent and thorough cultivation is
one Of the essentials to successful as
paragus culture. and this can more
easily and cheaply be obtained by set
ting in spring than otherwise
Asparagus needs a large amount Of
nitrogen. The droppings from the hen
house are excellent, IS also the refuse
from the horse stable. Both can be
spread on the old bed and work ed into
the ground before cold weather. The
results will be in evidence next spring.
The method of New York grower
which has been fully and thoroughly
tried is to dig trenches three feet deep
and one and one-half feet wide Put
in the bottom well rotted manure to
the depth Of one foot; then fill the
trenches to within six inches of the
surface with the soil thrown out and
well rotted manure in equal proper

A once famous publisher was q man

he never failed to name the author Of
any given passage. A would be wit,
thinking to have little fun at this
gentleman's expense, told his friends
at dinner party before the said pub
lisher's arrival that he had himself
written some verses In imitation of
Southey and that he intended to puz-

authorship.
Accordingly later In the evening the
wag quoted his lines, and, turning to
Mr.. F.. he said: ~ am sure they are
Southey's from their style, but l can
not remember where they occur. OF
course you can tell u.s."
81 cannot say remember them," re-
piled Mr.. F., "but there are only two
periods in Southeys life when he
could have written them"
"When were those?" asked the joker,
with a wink at his friends.

CULTURE OF ASPARAGUS.
How to Prepare the Ground and Set

the Roots.
AS a garden vegetable asparagus
was cultivated more than 1000 years
ago among the Greeks and Romans.
1t is generally supposed to be a native
of Europe and Asia Among the hard
lest of plants, it will endure neglect
Quite frequently stalks are found
along the roadside and In fence cor
ners, where they live for years with
out attention. But nevertheless as
paragus responds to kind treatment.
Practical asparagus growers of the
state of New Jersey prefer planting in
the spring. They set the roots six to
ten inches deep and cover very lightly
at first. say two or three inches, the
remainder being gradually filled in
during the summer
Roots may be planted as late as July
