70 MAKE AN ASPARAGUS BED
Directions by a Successful Virginia
Grower Of the Vegetable,

The first and most important feature
IN good permanent asparagus bed is
having piece of good soil. naturally
well drained and handy to the house.
1t should be the best spot in the gar
den.
Make your soil as rich as you can
with thoroughly rotted manure. and
set out three-year-old plants so that
the crown is just below the surface.
Have the roots Of each plant we'll
spread out and cover lightly with the
richest dirt you can find, or if you
are In no hurry for results you can
plant the seed either in bed to be
transpanted or where they will re-
main in the bed. | prefer the latter
method. declares Virginia CORE
spOndent of Farm Progress. And
when I say bed I mean what tho
term garden bed" implies-that is a
rich. deep soil. full of humus as well
as fresh organic matter. in a dry and
sunny place and have the rows to run
east and west
If you plant three-year-old roots you

between the rows to cultivate and

But I would not stop at merely max

rich land along fence rows where
there is space enough for something

chances are that in few years you
will be getting as much asparagus
from these out of the way places as
from the beds that you cultivate and
pay special attention to. And another
point, when you are planting aspara-
gus If you are near good town it
may be we'll to plant for great deal
more than the family needs No 9TH

If there are any who feel the need
of more information they can get bull

experiment station or the department
of agriculture at Washington.
AS to those who already have as
parag,ls beds. will say that it will
be well worth while to put on them a
good thicl: coat of good barnyard
manure free from weed seed. 1t is
better to do it in the fall or winter.

they care nothing for practical in

Cattle, Loeusts and Railways.

In running railways in Brazil there
are two difficulties to contend with
which the European traveller does not
know-cattle aud locusts- The cattle
cannot be kept Oh the track. Miles
and miles of it are fenced in. and yet
the cattle manage to force their way
through and then cannot get out The
cowcatcher Is efficient. but not SUM-
GENTLY so. as the trains are often de-
rallied BY an OK being caught either
between the cowcatcher or cylinder
and the rail or even between the loco
motive and the truss Of q bridge. but
such accidents are hardly ever serious.
Locusts are less common. but occa-
sionally travel along in clouds. When
they come to earth they may pile up
to a foot deep in the cuttings. and. OF
eourse the locomotives will skid along
uselessly. This happens hut tnfrte
auently.-Cassier's Magazine.

Tho Bug Bible.

The bug Bible was printed In 1910

it, curiosity lies In the rendering OF
the fifth verse of the Ninety-arst
Psalm. which. as we know. runs.
'"Thou shalt not be afraid for the ter.
ror by night nor for the arrow which
dieth by day" but In the above YER
sion 1t ran. so thou shalt not nede to
be afraid Of any bugges by night"
Ludicrous as this sounds 1t Is not
etymologically without justification.
