THINGS TO BE EATEN
INSTEAD OF ASPARAGUS.
Witioof Named One of Substitutes
For Expensive Vegetabie-Giobe Ar
tfchoke Also Recommended.

1 am very fond of asparagus, and dur
ing its season L want it nearly every
day. says correspondent of Farm and
F'ireside In the markets we are asked
pretty good price for it. For that
reason / cannot see how l could get
along without a bed of very generous
size. and 1 have it. But when we can
not have asparagus 1 am always ready
for substitutes. We shall soon have
plenty of witloof (chicory sprouts grown
in a deep box in the greenhouse. Just
for information l bought the other day
some of the imported witloof In Buff
falo fancy grocery store. 1t cost so
cents a pound. 1t is very nice. al
though 1 do like the real asparagus
better.
Another vegetable that may serve as
an asparagus substitute is the Globe
artichoke. 1 found this also in the gro
Gerry already mentioned, but the price
seemed to me almost prohibitory-
only % cents asked for one of the
little heads. Just for information, OF
course, l had to buy a head, scarcely
more at the price. Although this plant
is Of very easy culture, being a peren-
NAL that only needs a little winter pro-
lection by a good mulch, it is almost
wholly absent in American gardens. 1t
may be grown from seed sown in
spring, but in that case will hardly give
many flower heads the same season.
The suckers which grow freely about
the root crown may be used for propa-
CATION, and if you can get or buy some
l would advise you to make trial of
this interesting plant. Give each plant
two or three feet space each way 1t
wants rich soil and will grow from
three to five feet high. The heads are
three to five inches across before they
open and are then ready to be cut and
used The best way to cook them,
think, is just as we cook asparagus.
There are other things that can be
used for asparagus substitutes Among
them we have Il kind of lettuce Gac-
tuca angustana), the midribs of Swiss
chard. young sprouts of the poke, scoke
or pigeon berry, of milkweed, etc.
Years ago when we grew hops we often
used the young shoots of this plant and
found them very acceptable.

POULTRY RAlsERs, LOSSES.

Estimates have placed the
losses due to bad handling Of
poultry and eggs at 10 per cent
of-the total value of the product;
estimates also place the total
value of the poultry and eggs
produced in the United States
at approximately $4,000, 900 a
year. According to our observa-
tons. the estimate of a 10 per
cent loss is too low. Studies
made in various localities and
at various times Indicate that
about s per cent of the eggs
which come eff the farms are a
total loss before the consumer Is
reached In addition to this are
the. enormous losses occurring
through deterioration. though the
eggs may still be marketable

The Sunday School Lesson
Text of the Mark Vi, 1856

Text of the lesson.-Mark vi, 1885.
Some one has said that, while the
great commission to give living bread
to the hungry multitudes. the boat in
the storm with Jesus away on the
mountain top is wonderfully suggestive
of another feature Of this present age,
the conflict of the church with the
world. the flesh ard the devil, while the
Lord Jesus is at the right hand of the
Father on behalf of his tried and
toiling people. We are certainly in A
great conflict. not with flesh and blood,
but against principalities. against pow
ers. against the rulers of the darkness
OF this world, against wicked spirits in
heavenly places .(EphesianS vi 12). and
we need the whole armor of God to
stand against the wiles of the devil
One great trouble is that we are too
ignorant OF his devices and are apt to be
deceived by his religious activity and
think it to be of Cod Everything that
does not honor Jesus as God and rest
only on his great sacrifice for the for
Sireness OF sins. however religious it
may seem. cannot be of God and must
therefore be Of the devil.
Consider. them the hold that he has
upon the vast majority of the people
in the world. not only all in heathen-
dom. with their many religions, but Il

This might also be controlled by hav-
ing its blossoms cut before seed could
ripen were it not for the fact, recently
discovered, that the plant will live over
winter in the crowns of the legumes
and in spring start into vigorous growth
with the new stems and leaves of it's
host plants. This greatly increases it's
menace to the hay CROP for, while the
frequent cutting will keep it measur-
ably in check, its perennation makes
its thorough eradication almost impos-

THE SECOND HELD
LIGHT VOTE CAST AT ELECTION
LAST TUESDAY.
Ray Elected Sheriff, Bruce Supervis-
or, and Chitty County Commits
sioner-Election Quiet.

The second primary election for
Bamberg county took place. Tuesday
of this week, and on account of the
rain during a great part of the day
a light vote was polled. Everything
was very quiet, although there was
considerable interest taken in the
contests for sheriff and county super
visor. Returns from all over the
county came in early, as County
Chairman H. C. Folk had made ex-
cellent arrangements for securing the
returns, and by dark the result was
known here. We publish below the
tabulated statement of the votes at
each club, and while these are not
yet official, they were sent in by the
managers to the county chairman and
are no doubt correct. From these
figures it will be seen that Ray de-
feated Hunter for sheriff; Bruce de-
feats Mcmillan for county supervis-
or; and Chitty defeats Zeigler for
county commissioner.
