Lucky In America.

The luckiness Of thirteen may be
said to have been exempliied In the
American war of Independence, when
thirteen colonies revolted and formed
the United States. A London news
paper Of 1776 asserted that the rebels
considered the number lucky, and at
tributed to q party Of returned naval
prisoners the hooking statement that
thirteen dried CLAIMS were a rebels
daily ration; that Washington had thir-
teen toes and thirteen teeth In each
Jaw; that the regular rebel family
comprised thirteen children. each ex-
pecting to become 4 general at the age
of thirteen, and that thirteen American
paper dollars were worth one penny
sterling!~-IOndon Spectator.

LIME IMPROVES SOIL TEXTURE

Nothing in agricultural science or
practice may be mentioned with more
assurance than the beneficial effect
OF lime on easily puddled stiff clay
soils. This is so nearly a matter Of
common knowledge that the wonder Is
that anyone will worry along With
such soils year after year, and even
from one generation to another, while
the possible increase in yield in a
single year will often pay for the nee.
essary lime. The trouble with such
soils is due to the extreme fineness OF
the particles. All soils are very much
finer than most people would readily
believe, and clay soils are ne finest of
all Soils consisting largely of clay
particles are likely to be too compact.
Normal movement of air and water
and easy penetration of roots are i'm.
possible. These very fine particles,
when wet, tend to stick together; il
worked wet they form plastic mass
which on drying shrinks and becomes
very hard
If handful of such soil be worked
INTO plastic mass, it will become
very hard when dry; but if the test
be repeated with clays to which
small quantity of caustic lime has been
added, the mass when dry will crum-
BILE easily between the fingers. Lime
destroys the adhesiveness of clays,
making them more open, mellow and
easy to work. Air, water and plant
roofs can get through them much
more easily. They suffer less from ex-
tremes of wet and dry weather. They
respond more generously to cultiva-
ton and manuring. For the purposes
In question, two or three tons of burnt
lime per acre should be applied. The
very marked improvement SO easily
accomplished is noticeable for many
years; it is indeed one of the most en-
during effects of lime.-B. H. HITE,
West Virginia Experiment Station.

should be set one and half or two
feet apart, spreading the roots out hor-
izontally and they should be covered
with but two or three inches of fine
soil at first. AS the new shoots grow,
the burrows should be gradually filed
with soil until by midsummer the field
is practically level
The edible parts of the asparagus
plant are the young shoots, several OF
which are sent up from each crown.
These are cut when they reach the de-
sired height, which depends upon
whether white or green shoots are de-
sired II the former, it becomes nee
essary to ridge the rows, the shoots
being cut below the surface with
knife made especially for the purpose;
If the latter, the shoots are broken or
cut at the surface Of the ground Only
eight cuttings should be made the sec
ond season from planting. The third
cutting season may last for three or
four weeks, and thereafter eight to
ten weeks each year.
After cutting ceases, the bed should
with the harrow. About ten tons of
stable manure should be broadcasted
between the rows or liberal applica-
ton of a $50 commercial fertilizer
given instead. Cultivation should be
given until the tops cover the ground
and prevent further growth Of weeds.
The most serious disease affecting
the asparagus is the rust. One Of the
most practical means of controlling
/ this Is to cut and burn the tops as soon
as the berries have turned red. The
asparagus beetle causes considerable
injury at times by eating the young
shoots and the tops of the plants.
/ Cutting and burning the tops and all
other trash on the field in the fall de-
stroys the alternating places Of the
insects and helps in their control

shoots While the dew is on them, also
aids in their control.

The Prohibitionists with their
forty years in the wilderness be-
lieve that their political Jordon
is soon to be crossed and that they
have enough of the High Elk
plosives" to do the work.
Then there are the leaders OF
the Socialist party who believe
that their party is the only party
to clear the sea of the dangerous
blocks, and point out that their
method in handling the govern
ment is in line with progress.
Such are the beliefs, and as
such they pass as theories un-
tried.
In the rush for fame and lead
ership, there is still danger of
building other blocks that may
become as bad as the other ones,
but if care and progressive me-
thods are used in the building of
other blocks they will become a
monument and a lighthouse for
the American people.
The chances are good to make
good. The Democrat party have,

Ecan party stood on the eve of
great undertakings, and not on
the edge of a panic. We have
had our panic. The years of
1907-8-9 were panic years. and
the country pulled thru alright
with very few blemishes. There
is no need of getting scared.
There is no cause for expecting
much lower prices either. 1t is
only fancy to expect any great
reductions caused by the legisla-
ton on the tariff for America is
now recognized as taking the lead
in a commercial sense the world
over.
The tariff is only local affair
after all, and it is no wonder that
the southern fruit growers and
sugar manufacturers of the south
want tariff for their protection,
while the shoe manufacturers in
the north want free trade. We
must admit that time changes
tariff conditions, and these
changes and conditions will come
if we retain our position as a pro-
gressive people all American.

Asparagus can be grown successful

deep, rich, moist, sandy loan. A
southern, southeastern or southwest
ern exposure Is favorable to early
growth, Other factors which make for
success are: strong, healthy plants,
thorough preparation Of the bed before
planting, constant cultivation to con.
serve moisture and to keep free from
weeds, liberal fertilization, careful cut
ting and sanitary measures to prevent
insect and fungus injury,
Growing ones own plants from seed
gives an opportunity for selecting only

At the same time that farms have
become smaller there has been a de-
crease in amount of improved land
from SO acres in 1900 to 81 in 1910.
There are two ways in which farm
er may increase his income, one by ac-
quiring more land and the other by
using that already occupied to better
advantage.
In West Virginia there are many
farmers working in lumber camps, oil
fields and other places. There is no
objection to this If it brings larger re-
turns than the same time used on the
land
The good home markets make it
both desirable and profitable for many
to give up outside work and devote all
their energy to intensive agriculture.
Many lines are open, such as fruit,
poultry and dairy farming. No one OF
these requires a large area and mar
kets are always available.
Staple crops, such as corn and wheat,
should be grown wherever land is best
adapted to their culture, but perisha-
BILE crops, such as vegetables, fruit and
market milk, should be produced near
the consumer. This gives the farmer
of West Virginia, with his rather small
amount of improved land, very de-
cided advantage in location.

Coming as one of the first fruits of
the garden in early spring, the tooth
some asparagus is a welcome change
from the vegetables Of the winter sea-
son. No farm garden should be con-
sidered complete without it, and judg-
Ing by its comparative scarcity and
high price in our city markets, it
should prove profitable vegetable for
the market gardener as well. Atten-
ton is called to this splendid vegetable
at this time in the hope that many Of
our farmers may be induced to start
bed this coming spring.
