RAISING Asnaraaua.

Every farmer should have an abun-
dant supply of asparagus for his own
table from the latter part of April
until after the first of July. This is
one of the most wholesome of vege-
tables and is easily grown. We would
suggest the mulching plan for busy
farmers. Strong one-year roots
should be planted just as early in the
spring as the soil can be prepared
and as soon as the plants are up the
ground should be mulched heavily
enough with fresh horse manure to
prevent weed growth and to thor
oughly preserve soil moisture. -Four
inches Of anu will accomplish
both of these purposes. Every rain
will carry liquid plant food to the
roots of the asparagus and the plants
will grow just as rapidly as under
the best of cultivation. Mulching
should be used much more largely by
farmers for growing asparagus, egg
plants, celery and bush fruits.

Even in the Child Mind.

This incident was related by Mark
Twain with great glee about a certain
little girl friend who "shone as an
authoress." One day she handed her
devoted sympathizer the sheets OF a
story which read thus:
"a man was seated in a chair by
the freside brooding over his trou-
bles. He was sad because his wife
was dead. Suddenly a specter ap.
peared before him, and 1t was his
wife. She said: Dear, ! could not
bear to see you SO sad and discon-
tented, sc / have come to comfort
you. You must not be sad. You
must be bright and happy. 1t was
best that should leave you when
did, because l was going to get a di'
vorce.'"

Original Hay Fork Hitch.

SO they go through a link in the chain.
Leave enough slack in the chain SO
that the middle Is about one and a
half feet from the middle of the stick.
Fasten a fork to each end of the chain.
The forks should be set crosswise to
the spreader stick when set in the
load. Set the forks opposite each 9TH
er on the back end of the load and
then OF the front end. The advant-
ages of his rig are that it will take
a big forkful of hay and take it up
clean. We use a sling on the bottom
because it cleans the hay off SO nice.

What She

One day in the spring the orphans
from the asylum were taken in motor
cars out to the park. A society wom-
an, accompanied by her stylish little
daughter, was driving through the
park in a big limousine car. They
stopped and watched the procession
of little orphans, and the mother ex-
planned that the little boys and girls
had no homes and no fathers or moth
ers.
After she had finished she discov-
cred that her little daughter was al.
most crying. and her eyes were filed
with tears.

she asked.

Nye's Humorous Compliment.

Bill Nye was once introduced to
Wagner, the composer. In Then and
Now" Dean Hole relates: 'Nye, the
American humorist. brilliant is the
best, whose comedy never fails to
charm, and whose tragic death l shall
never ease to mourn, told me that
when he met Wagner he said to him,

hension, but l always feel sure when
l hear it that it is really much better
than it sounds"

Soy Beans In sorahum.

Please advise farmers to try some
Soy beans in sorghum, adding to feed
ing value of sorghum as forage and
good for the soil. Sorghum is the
most valuable feed for this section,
especially SO in a dry season. In the
fall of 1911 / was offered a bunch Of
nice straight S00-pound feeders at
two cents per pound, but had to turn
them down as l had no feed. A field
of sorghum would nave enabled me
to handle them at a profit of at least
$3.50. Farmers will make no mistake
In sowing a field of sorghum for for
age. Should it be frosted before cut

Calf Disorders.

Bowel troubles in calves are some.
times caused by milk that is exces'
sively rich. Milk that is moderate OF
low in butter fat is usually better for
young calves. Indigestion in older
calves is usually due to unclean milk
or feed, unclean vessels, close con.
inement in dark, insanity stalls,
and irregular or excessive feeding. In
some cases it appears to be due
mainly to sheer weakness and in
ehility to digest.

Optimism.

Admiral Schley once tried to have

ROYALTIES That Dislike the Motor.

The czar is, among European mon
archs, the one who makes the least
use Of the motor car. His imperial
majesty, in former days, registered a
VOW that he would never enter such a
conveyance, and although necessity
occasionally compels him to break it,
his dislike for motors is unabated.
When King Edward first took a car
with him to Denmark on joining the
big family party at ~Fredensborg one
year, neither the car nor his grand
father, King Christian TX, could be
persuaded to set foot in it.

Horrible Death in Elevator Shaft.

POwerless to love, a man named
Fulmer, employed at an abbattoir, lay
at the bottom Of an elevator shaft at
Philadelphia, Pa, the other day, and
waited the descending lift, which
crushed him to death. The man had
fallen into the shaft, and his cries
for aid were drowned by the noise
Of the machinery. The man fought
desperately against the freight laden
elevator. His body was flattened al
most to the thinness of paper.

the little fellow, that in the light OF
the explanation is very striking.
More than one such person has stated
that the child asked for taste" and
the remark was noted as peculiar.
Dunbar says that when the boy was

the habit of saying 81 want taste"
when asking for food.

of Mrs. Dunbar's family have positive

LAUDABLF DESIRES

Jackson, Miss, May 22.-Interesting
resolutions were adopted at the re-
cent meeting of the alumni association
of Alcorn A. & NJ. college, colored,
during the commencement exercises
of the institution. The resolutions
are as follows:
Whereas, it is accepted by all con-
sentative leaders of the races, both
white and colored, that the colored
man will be for an indefinite period
of time part of the south, If not for
all time, and knowing that certain in.
terests of the races are insolubly
linked, and that we are both so sit
uated as to be mutually helpful, one
to the other, and especially along
economic lines;
BE it resolved, that we keep ever
before US these manifest truths, and
strive at all times to build up the
south, her commercial, industrial, her
moral and general welfare; that our
pride In her progressive enterprises,
and matchless resources be of such
that she may suffer no disasters that
we do not deplore. achieve no victories
that we do not rejoice in, that she
take no step backward that we shall
not regret, nor any step forward that
we shall not applaud; that we shall
foster and maintain an abiding faith
In the Righteousness of her institu-
