If there are any rheumatic sufferers in town, who have not availed them selves of Lee & Osgood's generous off, Efer, they should do so at once They state that if Rheuma. the guar anteed prescription for rheumatism, e-does not give any purchaser quick and joyful relief, they will return the purchase price without any quibbling or red tape.
 Rheumatism is a dangerous disease and anyone who has the slightest taint of 1t should drive it from the system as soon as possible.

This crop is one of the most en- during and satisfactory vegetables. It can be grown on almost. any we'll drained soil, but will do best on deep. sandy loam., There is little pos sibility of having the ground too rich, and liberal applications of partly routed barnyard manure should be made before the plants are set. The seeds of asparagus may be sown, dur ing the spring in the rows where the plants are to remain, and. the seedlings thinned to stand 14 inches apart in the rows. ,.
 It is usually more satisfactory to purchase two o-year -old roots, as con siderable time is saved in this way As the asparagus bed is permanent feature of the garden, 1t should be To- cated accordingly. Before setting the plants the soil. should be loosened very deeply, either by subsoil blowing or by deep spading. It is a good plan to re- move the top-soil and spade manure into the subsoil- to depth of fl ior 16 inches. The plants may be set in rows for horse cultivation or in beds If in rows they should be set 14
