Growing Asparagus.

First in the spring comes asparagus,
of which Mr.. Southwick has from a
quarter to half an acre. From this
asparagus bed he averages a gross
income of SIS per day from the middle
of April to July 1. The expense of
raising the crop is small; the soil is
plowed early in the spring and again
when cutting has ceased for the sea-
son. After the second blowing the
plants grow with such rapidity that
the ground is entirely shaded and thus
weeds are choked out. 1t requires
about two hours time each day dur
ing the cutting season to gather the
crop.
Strawberries Next.
Asparagus cutting is no sooner over
han the strawberry season is on. In
'act, asparagus overlaps the straw
berries, for the first pickings of the
latter are made in June. Mr.. South
wick finds his two acres of strawber-
ries one of the most profitable of all
his crops.
Meanwhile rhubarb has been bring
ing in good money, for the pieplant is
a good seller and yields bountifully al
small expense.
After strawberries come the cur
rants, which pay well, and at this
time haying must be attended to.
Sour cherries also come on at this
season and there is money in them
also.
Another crop which comes on about
July is cabbage. Hayng lasts from
July to August. when the first celery
is ready for the market.
