Choice Bundle of Asparagus.

The houses are usually heated with
steam or hot water or by means Of
flues. Some growers depend on the
heat of the sun. but this is satisfac-
tory only during the spring.
Lifting the crowns from the field
and placing them under greenhouse
benches, hotbeds or in cellars is the
commoner method of forcing. The
crowns are plowed or dug up late in
the fail when the soil is moist, so as
to have as much soil as possible adj
here to them. They are then left ex-
posed in the field until frozen, when
they are covered with litter or re-
moved to a shed in order to prevent
alternate freezing and thawing, which
is harmful. The crowns are stored in
cool cellar or pit and bedded as
needed to supply a succession Of
shoots.
When ready for forcing the crowns
or roots should be brought to the cell
lar or other forcing place and bedded
on two or three inches of loose soil on
the floor. The clumps should be placed
close together, the spaces between the
clumps filled with loose soil, and the
crowns covered to the depth of about
an inch. The soil should be moistened
thoroughly and kept moist all the time,
but never allowed to become drenched,
For white shoots the light should be
excluded. When forced in the green.
house the space under the benches is
utilized, and the light can be excluded
by boarding up the sides or hanging
old carpets, burlap or canvas over the
openings.
For the first ten days after the
crowns are placed for forcing the tenn
perature should be kept rather low,
40 degrees to 80 degrees F. After this
period a temperature of So degrees is
most satisfactory, although a higher
temperature will not be injurious. A
temperature as high as rs degrees to
81 degrees F. produces rapid, soft
growth, while low temperature pro-
duces slow growth but gives shoots
Of good quality.
In about six weeks after bedding
the cutting can begin and will con-
tlnue until the crowns are exhausted.
AS soon as the crowns become ex-
hausted they should be removed and a
new supply put in. With a little care
in timing the bedding of the crowns
continuous supply can be had all
winter.

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS


In order to stimulate the lining Of
the air passages to throw off the grippe
germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm
and Keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier, Vick's
VapoRub will be found effective. Hot
wet towels should be applied over the
throat, chest and back between the
shoulder blades to open the pores.
Ihen VapoRub should be rubbed in
over the parts until the skin is red,
spread on thickly and cover with two
thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, as
the heat of the body liberates the in.
gradients in the form of vapors.
These vapors, inhaled with each breath.
carry the medication directly to the
parts affected. At the same time
VapoRub is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood to the surface, and thus aids
in relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this IS
a germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds-common
drinking cups, roller towels, ETC. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty OF
exercise in the open air, and good food
Above all, avoid colds, as colds fri
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
sign of cold. For head cold, melt
little VapoRub in a spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use Vapo-
Rub in benZoin steam kettle. If this
is not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half-fuH of boiling wa
ter, put in half teaspoon of VapoRub
from time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising. 81
Note-Vick's vapoRub is the dis, !
covery of a North Carolina druggist
who found how to combine, in salve
form, Menthol and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Gu
bebS, ETC., so that when the salve is ap-
piled to the body heat, these ingredi-
ents are liberated in the form of va
pors.
VapoRub is comparatively new in
New York State and New England and
a few Western states where it is Just
now being introduced, but in other sec
tons of the country it is the standard
home remedy in more than a million
homes for all forms of cold troubles.
Over six million jars were sold last
year. VapORub can be had in thr
sizes at all druggists. 1t is particul
ly recommended for children's Group
and colds, since it is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmful

The usual farm method of cutting up
hog is to saw the ribs on each side
of the backbone, take out the backbone.
and split the carcass down the mid
line. The ribs are taken out before
the sides are "blocked." Another
method is to split with a saw or cleav-
er as near the mid line as possible.
Then divide each half into four parts,
head, shoulder, middle, and hams. Re-
move the leaf if this was not done be-
fore. Peel the leaf backward with the
fingers, starting at the front end. The
kidneys are in this fat.
Head.
The head is generally removed be-
fore the carcass is split into halves.
Cut about an inch back of the ears,
making a complete circle around the
head. If the cut does not happen to
strike the atlas joint, twist the head
and it will yield. The latest part of
the head can be used for lard and the

sausage or headcheese. The jowl is
sometimes used for cooking with sauer
kraut or baked beans.
Shoulder.
One-half the carcass should be placed
on a cutting table and cut up into the
various cuts. Cut off the front foot
about 1 inch above the knee and the
hind part the same distance above the
hook. The feet can be used to make
picked pigs feet or pigs feet jelly.
The shoulder cut is made between the
fourth and fifth ribs. Remove the ribs
from the shoulder, also the piece of
backbone to which they are attached.
Cut close to the ribs in removing them
so as to leave as much meat on the
shoulder as possible. These are spare
ribs" and make an excellent dish when
fried or baked. If only small amount
of cured meat is desired the top of
the shoulder may be cut off about one

Beans may be kept for. winter use
by picking the pods as soon as they

ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

Spanish influenza, which appeared in
Spain in May, has all the appearances
OF grip, or la grippe, which has swept
over the world in numerous epidemics
IS far back as history runs. HippOc-
rates refers to an epidemic in Alp
b. c., which is regarded by many to
have been influenza. Every century
has had its attacks. Beginning with
1881 this country has had five epidem-
les, the last in 1SS9-90.
There is no occasion for panic-influ-
enza itself has a very low percentage
OF fatalitieS-nOt over one death out
of every 400 cases, according to the
n. G. board of health. The chief danger
lies in complications arising, attack
ing principally patients in a rundown
conditiOn-those who don't go to bed
soon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as it is now called,
usually begins with a chill. followed by
aching, feverishness, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and q general
feeling of weakness and depression.
The temperature is from 100 to 104,
and the fever usually lasts from three
to five days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane or lining of the air
passages, nose, throat and bronchial
tubes; there is usually a hard cough
especially bad at night; Oftentimes a
sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently
all the appearances of a severe head
cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms, not
only for your own sake, but to avoid
spreading the disease to others-take
II purgative, eat plenty of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's
Powders, etc, may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve the
aching. But there is no cure or spe-
citic for influenza-the disease must
run its course. Nature herself will
throw off the attack if only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily
resistance that there is danger of pneu-
monia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes Inflammation of the middle
ear, or heart affections. For these rea-
sons it is very important that the
patient remain in bed until his strength
returns-stay in bed at least two days
or more after the fever has left you, or
If you are over 80 or not strong stay
in bed four days or more, according to
the severity of the attack.
