Automatic Weather strip.

were kept against the door to keep
out the cold air. When the door was
opened the mats would cause trouble.
I devised an automatic weather strip.
as shown In the sketch. to take the
place of the mats.
The strip was made Of piece of
wood three-quarters-inch thick and
three inches wide. with a length equal
to the width of the door. One end was
fastened to the door with screw on
the side near the high part Of the
floor. In this case the hinged side of
the door.
A piece of wood was cut out and
fastened to the opposite side to act as
a keeper for the strip of wood. A
piece Of cloth Yves wrapped around
the stick to make 1t close fitting and
to lessen the noise when opening and
closing the door. The movable strip
would slip over the uneven floor and
close the opening when the dor was
shut.

PLANTING AN ASPARAGUS BED
A One 10 Expected to Last for T~en-
y Years Soil Should Be Prepared
In Thorough Manner.

A good asparagus bed is expected to
last 20 years. The soil should, there
fore. be prepared In a most thorough
manner.
A warm, sandy soil is best, but 1t
will do well in any good garden soil
that is free from stones. A soil that
has been heavily manured few prevt-
GUS seasons is preferable to manuring
heavily at the time of setting out the
roots. but at no period should aspara-
gus be allowed to suffer from lack OF
manuring. as first-class shoots can
only be grown in very rich soil.
For the home garden the plants may
be set out in rows about thirty inches
apart. having the plants about eighteen
inches apart.
The best time for setting out aspara-
gus is early In the spring. usually
about the end Of April. Where the
rows are to bc make burrows one foot
wide and eight inches deep. In these
burrows set the plants In natural
position with the roots spread well
apart and about twelve to eighteen
inches apart. Be careful to cover the
crown Of the plants not more than two
inches in the start, as the shoots from
newly set plants are not strong enough
to force through deep mass OF earth.
The furrow may be gradually filled as
the shoots advance in growth.
The object Of setting the crowns 80
far below the surface Is to protect
them from injury when cutting the
shoots for use. as they are usually cut
about two inches below the surface. Z
Although growers differ In their
opinions on what the age Of plants for
setting should be. one-year-old plants
seem to give the best satisfaction.

WILL STUDY OTHER
STATE CAP!TOLS
Commission Will Hold Meeting
Saturday to Arrange for
Trip to the East.

For the purpose of considering the mat
ter OF sending representatives TO various
cities of the country to look into the
methods employed in construction OF state
capitols elsewhere, the state capitol
building commission will hold a meeting
at the office OF Governor William Spry
at o'clock Saturday afternoon. Among
the states which VIII be visited by mem
bers OF the commission may be Montana.
South Dakota. Minnesota. Kentucky and
New York. Others also may be agreed
upon later.
The question OF the selection Of an
architect for the new Utah capitol will
be further gone into. 1t is uncertain
as yet whether there will be a compcti-
tion for the selection of an architect or
not. There are some things concerning
competitions which are not altogether
satisfactory. an important one Of which
in the view of many architects is the La
blity Of architects TO submit plans which
would call for much greater eXpendi-
ture than the limited amount. This,
however might be remedied by the com
mission absolutely refusing to accept
plans which In Its opinion were for a
building more expensive than the amount
allowed The limit for the Utah capitol
has been set at S2.5oo.000.
