GET "STAND" OF ASPARAGUS
Plant Requires Deep, Sandy, Black Loam-Fertllixer is of the
 Greatest Importance.

Asparagus requires deep, sandy, black loam soil, the deeper the better; subsoil of a porous nature and we'll tile drained
 The item of fertilizer is one of gi- gantic importance. Fertilizer in some form must be procured in liberal quan- titles. Asparagus is not dainty feed CT; 1t devours alike the fine ground bone of commerce and the dead cat picked up in the back alley.
 In starting family asparagus bed blow the ground at least six inches deep. The plants should be one year old, set in rows three feet apart and eighteen inches apart in the row.
 Dig the holes for the plants large enough to receive the roots in their natural position. and eight inches deep; firm the earth we'll over the plants.
 Two hundred will supply good sized family all they can use. Culti- vate and fertilize we'll for two years before cutting and yoi will have plen- ty of good asparagus.

KEEP THE SHEEP DRY
Wet Eve Is Not Likely to Do Her
 Best for Owner.
Greatest Damage Resulting From Wettins Is Discomfort Following -Water-Tight Shed Will Prove
 Quite Satisfactory.
(By E HENDERSON,

A few days ago, while returning from our home town, I was struck by the sad and forsaken appearance of flock of sheep subjected to beat ing rain.
 Their backs were bumped up, their heads dropping and the general ap- pearance gave the impression that they were the victims of a careless and thoughtless farmer.
 It is true that the fleece of sheep is quite long and dense and in an ordinary rain it is quite improbable that the fleece should become thor oughly saturated. but it is also true that all rains are not ordinary" ones. and we can never tell just when one of these beating, driving rains will come to cause misery to the ewes and loss to the farmers pocketbook.
 It is at once apparent that the wet eve is not one to do the best for her owner As long as she is soaked she will not graze, or if she does it will be only enough to furnish the actual needs of the body

 I had terrible bearing-down pains, my back ached all the time and was very weak. I could scarcely carry anything and suffered agony when I lifted anything. The muscles in my abdomen were so weak could scarcely lift myself up straight, and 1 thought l would surely grow crooked. I had difficulty in walking, it was so painful. l suffered in hips and back and could hardly raise up at all. At times, I couldn't sit on the chair-would have to lie down. was in such agony. I just sat around and cried.
 At this time, about five years ago, l began to take Cardui, at my mothers insistence. After two or three weeks use saw an improvement. The pains got less gradually until they disap- peared. In two months 1 could walk without pain and could do most of my work. For about three years my inn provement was steady and continued until l had back my health and strength.

Finland's Remarkable Schools.

The folk-schools of Finland are par ticularly fine, with their cooking de- partments, gymnasiums, manual train- ing and needlework Every school has excellent bathing facilities, and the poorest children are fed at the schools. There are little geological museums in most of the schools. There are so many varieties of schools, besides the folk-schools. elementary and higher; there are Iyceums, schools of forestry, of agriculture and of navigation, schools for training teachers, commer- cial schools. technical music and art schools, etc. There are three large garden schools in Finland. where boys as well as girls are taught cooking.
