an acre of ground. Having number
OF egg customers. we sell direct. get
ting the full price, but even wholesale
prices range from IL to Is cents.
There are two ways of starting beds
by sowing seed or setting out plants
One-year-old plants will cost from 60
cents to 81 a hundred. Planted in
April and well cared for, they provide
several dishes for the home table the
following spring and nearly full crop
the second spring. Seed sowed at the
same time will take year longer. but
after that give a larger yield than
transplanted plants, and, as asparagus
beds are productive for fifteen or TWEEN
ty years, a one year loss in the begin
ming is an economy.
How to Plant.
In selecting ground for asparagus
remember 1t is permanent crop and
cannot be transplanted after it is es-
tablished. 1t will grow on any ordi-
nary well drained garden soil. but
heavy subsoil. with light sand above
1t, should be selected. us it invariably
produces an earlier crop than heavy
ground. The land should slope to the
south. and spread well rotted manure
four inches deep over the ground, and
pillow and harrow if for a large bed.
A small garden bed can be dug and
cultivated with a hand rake. Make
burrows four feet apart. one foot wide
and six inches deep If you start with
seed sow IN the burrows two inches
apart. If one-yearold plants are used
soak them in water for few hours.
then spread out the roots in every di-
rection from the center Of the plant
and set two feet apart in burrows.
Use the space between the rows for
the first two years, as it insures the
ground being well cultivated, and each
space will accommodate two rows of
carrots, onions or lettuce, and in the
begin to die, they must be cut of and
burned and the bed given good COW
ering of stable manure.

0AFARRH OF
THE, PHARYNx.

Clearing out your throat every day.
all day. That II what you have been
doing for months. Possibly years. A
little mucous covers the pharynx.
If you were to go to q doctor he
would tell you that you have phar-
yngitis. If you were to look into
your own throat you would find just
back Of the soft palate red. lumpy,
granular appearance Of the back part
Of the throat. Pharyngitis the doc
tors call it.
Perhaps he would call 1t, folfcular
pharyngitis. It causes you constant
annoyance. You are always making
slight disturbances when seated In an
audience. Can't hold your throat
still. Stringy mucous bothers you.
Worse in the morning.
A-hem! A-hem! A-hem! That Is
the way you are going nearly all cay.
Sometimes In the night when you
wake up. You ought to gargle your
throat with salt water every morn
ing, Cold salt water. That clears
out the throat perfectly and makes it
ready for treatment.
Peruna is the treatment. Begin
with teaspoonful before each meal
and at bedtime. Try it for a week.
You will be- convinced. OF course.
Peruna will not entirely relieve you
in a week. That is too much to ex-
pect of any remedy. But it will bene-
fit you so much you will be con-
WINGED. Yes, 1t will. It has done
this many times.
Folicular pharyngitis. Big words.
Almost as bad as the disease. But il
you take Peruna for one month reg
ularly, you may forget that YOU ever
had such a disease. Then you will
have a perfect right to forget the big
words too.
People who object to liquid n,edi-

HOW TO LOCATE ACID SOILS
A Simple Way to Remedy Them.
GEORGE II. pAcY.


sour soils spell poor crops, so poor
crons mean less to eat and wear for
tho farmer. Therefore every farmer
should play detective and seek out soils
on his farm that are acid and reform
them by the use of lime, which neu-
tralizes the acidity. The chief handi
cap experienced by the farm with an
acid soil is that the culture Of clovers
and similar legumes Is prohibited by
the fact that the nitrogen fixing bac-
terra which inhabit the nodules on
roots of the clovers abhor an acid or
sour soil. and clay loan soils that are
deficient in organic matter are espe-
cially prone to acidity
The farmer desiring to locate sour
soil on his farm should purchase about
cents worth of blue litmus paper at
the local drug store. As soon as posi-
bic after a rainstorm. when the sur
face soil Is still moist, he should go
out into the field and with his jack
knife cut a slit in the earth into which
he should insert the litmus paper. He
should then pack the soil firmly about
the indicator paper and allow it to re-
main in place for about five minutes;
then he should remove the earth and
examine the paper, which, If it has
turned red or pink. indicates the soil is
acid. The farmer must be careful in
handling the test paper. as perspira-
ton is acid and affects the litmus pa
per.
There is also the ammonia test.
made by putting few drops Of COM
mon ammonia water in glass hold
ing a teacupful of pure water Into
this stir teaspoonful Of the soil to be
tested. If the soil needs lime the wa
ter after the soil has settled for q few
hours will have darkish red brown
or black appearance.
Raw Ground Limestone the Best.
If the countryman finds his soil is
sour he can correct it by using finely
ground unburnt limestone. mari or
refuse from sugar beet factories.
Freshly slaked or burnt lime is Objec-
tionable because it tends to burn out
the supply of organic matter contain
ed in soil. The application Of from
one-haIf to one ton of ground lime
stone or mari per acre every seven or
eight years controls any acid tenden
cies of soil and puts it in Il fit condi-
ton for clovers. alfalfa and other leg
umes 1t is a good plan to use ground
limestone as an absorbent in the dairy
or horse stable and to apply the lime to
the land with the manure. It is ii coz
respondingly bad practice to apply
freshly slaked or burnt lime to the
soil with manure: in fact. it should
never be used the same year manure
is distributed over the field as its
tendency is to burn up and waste the
organic matter in the fertilizer before
1t car be uSt.i by the plants.

Pequoit Tribe, No. Sc, of Vinalhaven. The
three degrees Of the order were conferred,
and the occasion was one long to be re-

cred in the Odd Fellows hall, and it was
one of the pleasantest secret society So

Tribe arrived by boat about p. m. and
were met at Lewis wharf, where the
special steamer w. G. Butnam locked,

SOFT CHEESE
The Art of Making It.
c. 3. LANE.

The primary difference between hard
and soft cheese is the result of different
methods of manipulation of curdled
milk. In hard cheeses, as Cheddar.
Swiss, American. Edam. etc. milk is
curdled rapidly and the curdled mass
then cut into small pieces to allow
the curd, and the curdled mass is often
heated further to separate curd and
whey. Then the curd is placed in
frames and subjected to high pressure
that forces out most of the whey. leav-
ing a hard mass of tolerably dry curd.
Such curd ripeps slowly and is not
ready for market for months. and even
when perfectly ripe it preserves its
form and never becomes very soft.
Soft cheeses as Camembert, Brie.
Isigny. limburger, Backstein. Neufcha-
tel and cream cheese. although each is
made in special manner. all are alike
in one point-namely, the whey Is
never fully drained from them. The
curdled milk is commonly ladled into
forms and allowed to drain naturally.
Soft cheeses are not subjected to pres
sure or heat and so contain a larger
percentage Of water at the start than
hard cheeses. They therefore afford
favorable conditions for the growth
of heterogeneous and engine action
which ripen cheese rapidly and devel-
op nigh f1avors. and t1avors are known
to be physiologically necessary to
proper digestion and assimilation of
food. SO soft cheeses have decided
value of their own. They are more
perishable than hard cheeseS. and to
put them ON the market 50 as to reach
the consumers table at proper stage
Of ripening is a difficult problem of the
industry.
Cheese az . Food.
Cheese used to be considered lux
ury or SO called appetizer. but recent
investigations show that 1t is valua-
BILE food and stands near the top from
the economical standpoint. No kind
Of meat except dried beef carries such
q large percentage of protein and other
food constituents as cheese. Fresh
beef has little more than half the food
value Of cheese, and pound Of cheese
ID equal TO two pounds OF eggs or
three pounds of fish. As to cheapness.
practically the only food product that
rivals cheese IN food value is dried
beans. yet the people Of the United
States consume per capita l75 pounds
Of meat annually and only four pounds
Of cheese. while the people in foreign
countries are. IT course. much larger
cheese eaters, and many of the poor
people live entirely on rye bread and
cheese. making fairly good diet and
q d1gestible one.
