THE ASPARAGUS BED.

Asparagus may be started either
from seed or buying one or two-year-
old seedlings. Any good loamy gard
en- soil is good for growing asparagus.
An ounce of seed will produce aoout
200 plants in a normal season with or
binary care. Sow the seed in rows in
the garden as for beans or corn, COW
ering them two or three inches deep,
says the mirror and Farmer. The
seed may be sown early as it takes
about six weeks for them to sprout
and come up. Cultivate the surface
after planting to Keep down weeds
while the young plants are coming.
They are very fine and tender when
they first appear above the ground, and
care must be taken in the first cult
walton during the summer and early
fall, as for other small garden crops,
and the plants will be ready for mov-v
ing either the same fall or the follows
ing spring or fall, according to the con-
dition for setting in permanent quartss

CARIN FOR THE WATER FOWLS.
Geese and ducks are becoming more
salable each season. The price of
geese was almost treble that of chick
ems in the market during November
and December of last year. Ducks
did not bring price equal to that re-
ceived for geese, but even they sold
remarkably well Geese hatch their
own eggs and brood the goslings.
They seem to cafe for them better than
do mother hens or brooders. When
once the goslings are a week Or 10
days old, tisey- row erys--l ssst and re-
quire little attention. Old, marshy
lands, or those that have fairly
good crop of grass, afford good rang
ing land for geese. Geese do best if
they have dry spot on elevated land
to go to when it rains After the gos-
lings are three weeks old they viii
Craze their entire living from the
grass during the summer. Ducks must
be continually fed or they will not
prosper. Young ducks must be fed
several times a day on mixed meal
or cracked corn, or they do not grow
as they should. The best means OF
feeding cracked corn to young ducks
is to put the corn into a shallow pan
of water and let the ducks take it
from the water as they eat it. Ducks
require water to drink with their food.

- AS a matter of fact the farmer is
one of the very few men who are
qualified to be called "all round

distance from communities at any

and almost insensibly becomes a
master, in part at least, of practi-
cally all the trades and professions,
not because he is misery Or lack
ing in funds but because lie must
grapple with things at first hand.
He becomes perforce a bricklayer,

surgeon; dentist, well driller, baeter-

held last night further details were

plan, fairly we'll digested to be SUBJ

is thought that better results can be

has already received much common

Low PRICES GONE FOREVER
High Cost Of Living is Here to Stay
Declares Government Official

OCS404C0 OVvG4u01S0I VxuC10x
Washington, Jan. 49, = With the
bottom dropping ont Of prices in the
food market all over the country and
the public taking hope that the cost of
living soon must be lowered. Willet
NJ. Hays, Acting Secretary of the
Department of Agriculture comes out
with the statement that there little
chance of prices ever returning to the
old low standard.
In making this statement Mr.. HAYS
disclosed the fact that only one third
of the total population of the country
is now engaged in producing food for
the remaining two thirds. This will
be shown, he said, by statistics soon
to be issued by thu census bureau.
Only two generations ago, the acting
secretary assel ted two thirds of the
population was engaged in produc-
tion. 70 this remarkable reversal is
the high cost of living mainly due.
lone of the other big factors, " said
Mr.. Hays, 'has been the great in.
crease in gold and exchange paper,
such as checks. With money plenti-
full prices increase. With production
in lines otherithan farming products
rapidly increasing it is but natural
that MANY men should turn into
those industries. No matter how
much the demand for other products
may increase men can eat only cor
tain amount Of food. Therefore, are
the only thing that can affect the
sale of food is the increase in the
of consumes. Progress
along other lines will not affect the
sale Of food is the increase in the
of consuwe1s. Progress along
other lines will not affect food.
