teenth.
The acreag e lies just east Of Twelfth

distance of Eleventh street. 1t has a
Main street frontage Of $50 feet and a
depth north and south. of $50 feet The

One Of the first vegetables of spring,
as well as one of the best grown, Is
asparagus. 1t is hardy, grows year
after year from the same roots and, il
properly cared for, never fails to pro-
duce a crop. AS ordinarily grown on
the farm 1t is a troublesome crop and
often poor in quality, but by proper
management and cultivation, first
class product can be grown as cheaply
and easily as any other garden vege-
table.
Asparagus does well on almost any
good, well-drained soil, but best re-
suits are obtained on deep, rich, loose
loan. Good corn land will give salts
factory crops of asparagus. 1t requires
liberal manuring and good cultivation.
A few stalks may be cut the spring
OF the second year, but after that a
good yield may be expected.
The largest expense in growing
strawberries is in the hoeing, wedding
and cultivating necessary, therefore If

PREPARING THE
FAMILY GARDEN
Suggestions Regarding Proper
Quantity Of Seed to Plant to
Supply Family OF Six With
Vegetables.

People who have not made study
of gardening are sometimes puzzled
to know how much of each kind OF
vegetable to plant. The following
quantities will be sufficient to supply
an average family, say of six persons:
Asparagus-Furrows 20 feet long
and three feet apart.
Artichokes-One ounce of seed will
furnish an ample supply.
Pole Beans-Two quarts planted
one week apart.
Lima Beans-One quart planted one
week apart.
Beets-Two ounces of seed.
Brussels Sprouts-One ounce of
seed. This is one of the most de-
licious vegetables raised and should
be in every garden.
Carrots-One ounce of seed.
Cauliflower-One ounce of seed.
This is another excellent vegetable
which is much neglected in the aver
age farm garden.
Celery-One ounce of seed will pro-
duce about fifteen hundred plants.
Sweet Corn-One pint of seed for
each planting This should be planted
about ten days apart
Cucumbers-One-ha ounce OF seed
will plant % hills.
Lettuce-One-half ounce of seed.
Sow ten days apart.
Onions-Plant two rows Is feet
long, making three paintings ten days
apart.
Peas-nid anybody ever raise too
many peas? Plant one quart at a
planting about ten days apart.
Peppers-One-half ounce of seed

Church Provided Object Lesson.

Just before the benediction the min
lister expressed polite wish that his
congregation would pause in the ves-
thule on their way out and look at a
series of photographs on the wall.
Everybody looked. Some said: "Oh,
isn't that terrible?" Others said:
WELL" in various tones, and still
others said nothing at all. The pic
lures had been put up by the Audubon
society and represented different pc
RODS in the life of bird that supplies
feathers for women's hats.
I'VE can't get women to come to
us, so we have concluded to come to
them" said a member of the society.
Church seems about the best place
to find them in a sympathetic mood.
In every church whose pastor will
give us permission we shall put in a
set of pictures. Later we shall tackle
theaters, museums and every other
place where women who wear fine
feathers are likely to congregate, but
the churches are looked to for the
most conversions"

Playing II on the Chauffeur.

Neighbors who happened to be
watching the front door of No. 211
when the taxicab drove up noticed
that the woman visitor from Detroit
had her head bandaged. Immediately
they called TO see what had happened.
"Oh, there is not a thing in the
world the matter" said the hostess.
I'VE just decided to come home in a
taxicab, that's all, and we were so
afraid OF getting an Incompetent chauf-
feur. To make sure of getting care
full one we sent in sick call. All the
taxi companies send out their most re-
liable men on sick calls. In order to
carry out the deception and keep the
chauffeur from finding out he had been
faxed Aunt Harriet tied handker-
chief around her head and he brought

They Had to Own Bibles.

The first Bible printed in Scotland
was issued complete in 1879. In the
same year, by act of parliament, every
gentleman, householder and others
worth thrie hundredth merkis of yeir-
lie rent or abone," and every yeoman
and burgess with $500, had to pro-
vide, under a penalty of s10, "a Bible
and Psalme Duke in vulgare language
in THAR houssis for the better instruc-
ton of thame selffis and THAR famelijs
IN the knawledge of God"
To see that the provisions of the
above act was carried into effect, the
following year a searcher was appoint
ed, with power to visit the houses of
those signified by the act, land to re-
quire the SIGHT Of THAR psalme buikis
and bybillis." In a footnote 1t Is
added: THE privy council had in
1876 commanded and charged the
principals and heidismen of query

the purchase of Bible to be placed

WORKED ON Dogs NERVES
Experiments Made by French Admir-
atty to Determine Effects OF
Future Sea Fights.

Remarkable effects were produced
by the new shells in the gunnery ex-
periments carried out against the dis
carded French battleship Jena. Dogs
were placed upon the ship in order
10 discover whether they would be
suffocated or injured by the shells
fired at that old hulk when the dogs
were at some distance from the point
of impact. The animals were placed
in part of the vessel which could
not be reached by the shells.
1t was found that the explosives did
not kill the animals by suffocation or
poisoning. But the dogs nervous sys-
TENS suffered severely under the re-
peated action of the shells and the
resulting conclusions. The investi-
gators believed 1t proved that in the
next naval war the officers and crews
would rapidly become neurasthenic.
Two dogs, after being subjected to
the experiment, became somber and
timid. hiding themselves when called.
Finally they committed suicide by
jumping into the sea and allowing
themselves to sink without making
any attempt to swim.

Value of the Hon

No animal on the farm is better
adapted to turning good feed quickly
into marketable meat than the hog,
and none can better repay, from a
market standpoint, discriminating
system of feeding. This is particu-
larly true as to first costs. for the hog
is by nature planned to utilize the
least expensive feeds, and will manu-
facture into toothsome pork much
that might otherwise be reckoned of
little value, if not waste. In any phase
of farm economy the hog is feature,
and his proper feeding has in innumer-
able instances been the factor that
kept a farms profit on the right side

Empress of Abyssinia.

Menelik's wife, the empress of
Abyssinia, who is reported to be. a
prisoner in the hands of those favor
ing the immediate succession of the
heir apparent, is a lady who was once
a great beauty and who had four pre-
vious husbands before she became the
wife of Menelik. Her first husband
was one of King Theobald's generals,
her second she divorced, her third
was killed by King John, her fourth
was, as has been euphemistically ex-
pressed, removed" and in 1863 she
married the late emperor. The fact is
sometimes lost sight of that many Of
the Abyssinians are Christians. The
