Asparagus From Seed.

Many lovers of asparagus do not
know that the roots can be grown from
seed, in the home garden, and, in one
or two years are in excellent con-
dition for planting into permanent
rows for cutting. The writer has just
been planting asparagus roots from
seed. planted last spring which are as
strong and vigorous as those that US
ually come from professional growers.
The seed was sowed in rows with early
onions, which, when pulled, gave the
ground to the asparagus seedlings.
They made a very satisfactory growth
during the summer and are now large
enough to transplant.
Conover's Colossal is one of the
best varieties to plant. The seed
can be had from any of the seedsmen
or nnrserymen who advertise in the
farm papers. A couple of ounces
will make roots sufficient to plant a
generous patch for home use and
some to give to the neighbor who will
not plant the seed or buy the roots.
Asparagus is as hardy and vigor-
GUS as weeds, hence there is very lit
tie excuse for it's absence in any
farmers vegetable garden. Send FOR
a supply Of seed at once and plant
any time during the spring or early
part Of the summer Late paintings
will require two years enough to trans
that will be large enough to trans
plant with safety into permanent
rows.
Asparagus is sure money makes
when planted for commercial pur-
poses Where the plants are grown
from seed on the home grounds the
expense of setting a field Of consider
able size is small when compared to
the annual income from the sale Of
cuttings, which may be continued for
several weeks during season when
vegetables are scarce and usually
very desirable. The expense Of grow
ing asparagus is small when the roots
are planted in long rows and set so
deeply that the ground can be plowed
and narrowed without injuring them.
There has been decided evolu-
ton in the methods of growing as
paragus during recent years. Our
fathers and mothers ate asparagus
that was grown over trenches that
had been filled with compost, old
bones, and other material considered
necessary for the successful culture
of such crop. The modern grower
plants in long rows which are opened
with a pillow and the roots are dropped
into the furrow and afterward will
finish the planting. Cultivation is
done with the corn plows. The field
is dressed each fall with stable manure
which is plowed under in the spring.
An asparagus plantation will last for
one or two generations when given
proper care.

Hi. Photographic Plato, Spoiled.

A new York photographer recently
learned, to his sorrow. that the gas
mantle emits a ray. He had stored
away a large number Of plates in a
dark place and inadvertently left a
gas mantle near the plates. They re-
NAMED in the place for a month, and
when the photographer took his plates
out he found all Of them logged. The
mantle contained thorium, a radio
active substance that penetrates a
cardboard plate box as easily as it
goes through glass. The man didn't
know this, but now he knows better
than to leave gas nantes near his
plates.

Use for Scotch Water Power
