Malay women are secluded during
all of their carly life, but their rights,
even in courtship, are clearly recog-
nized.
iALl during courtship the bridegroom
is not supposed TO see his fiance
and certainly not her face, until the
wedding day. Among the wealthy and
the upper classes this rule is really
observed and this precludes anything
like a courtship the way Americans
understand it. OF course, among the
poorer classes it is impossible always
to observe these rules.
The matches in the Malay peninsula
are arranged almost entirely by the
women friends of the man and the
girl, who acts as go-betweens and ar

After the match has been decided

a nightingale that went out every day

of his people in this way the emperor
became from an ordinary man the

PLANTING AN ASPARAGUS BED
As One 10 Expected to Last for TWEEN
ty 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 It
will do we'll In any good garden soil
that is free from stones. A soil that
has been heavily MANFRED few previ-
GUS seasons IL 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-ciass 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 be 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 so
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.
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.

This Is good time to organize ar
agricultural club in your neighbor

Are you roasting your shins by the
fire, or turning these wintry days into
profit?
Keep all the tools that are used
around the barn in convenient aad
safe places.
In the large producing sections cab
bages are stored in specially prepared
frost-proof houses.
How much does it cost you to leave
that machinery standing out In the
weather? Shedding is cheap!

ment is left out all winter more
through carelessness than anything
else
The business that grows rapidly
may well be watched closely. Con
Germs of slow growth are usually more
stable.
Farm success\ comes to the man
who runs his little bit Of land on the
same plan that the engineer does his
traln-rlght on the dot.
It is as idle land useless to expect
good crops from inferior seed as 1t
would be to enjeavor to breed rhcr-
oughbred cattle from scrub stock.
Fence the hay and straw stacks SO
that the cattle cannot get at them.
If permitted to eat around the bottom
they will waste more than they eat,
If possible have separate build
ing in which to do the hutckering
work, and thus save the women folks
as much as you can. 1t is mans work.
Take the frost out OF your grind
stone before you grind the ak, but Go
it gradually, and not by using hot
water. That would injure the QlAai.lr

Prize for Tick Eradication.

The local office of the Bureau
of Animal Industry of the U. S.
Agricultural Department is in
deed gratified to make to each OF
the counties of Mississippi the
following announcement:
To the county in Mississippi
which, during the season of 1912,
shall make the best showing In
the work of tick eradication, this
bureau is now enabled to offer as
a county prize, one of the best
bred Jersey bull calves in Amer
lea! And this calf it is enabled
to offer by the large minded and
large hearted !iberality of Mr..
w. P. Mills of Missoula, Mon
tana. who is owner of one of the
best Jersey herds now extant
west of the Mississippi river.
This bull calf offered is equiva-
lent to a gift Of from $4,000 to
$500.
Now this is an offer which
should stir the enthusiasm Of ev-
erv citizen of every county in
Mississippi. Because the utter
stamping out of the costly NUS
ance' of cattle ticks will benefit
every business man in every
county in the state. The rail-
roads see and understand this;
and hence, all the railroads in the
state are ardent advocates of tick
eradication,
In the last five years 14S,0OO
square miles of Southern terrific
ry have been cleared of cattle
ticks, and the owners of A, 440, 600
head of cattle have been bene-
fitted not less than $21, 1865. $50.
This is the result of about $21 for
every dollar ex pended. And this
by rigid calculation.
Let the good work go on in the
entire state of Mississippi. Let
every county strive for the Jer-
sey bull calf as a prize. and as a
county trophy for the wear 1912.
And let the whole state be freed
from the curse and nuisance of
cattle ticks.
This generous offer is made
through the influence of DR.. NJ.
E Knowles, the noted sanitarian
of Montana.
