HOW TO GROW RUST I RESISTANT ASPARAGUS

The Washington family of rust resistant asparagus. developed by the United States department of agricul- htire, in CO operation with the Massa- chpsetts Agricultural Experiment sta ,rioff and other co-operators through opt the. country as the result of thir- teen years of effort. is now well dis iserninated among interested growers ,and: seedsmen, some of whom have .aySilable stocks of the new strains for seale.aS9The pedigreed stock thus far idistributed to growers is intended to form a basic stock for further breed ing 'wotk. The department of agricul- ture announces that while it VIII con- tjriue to distribute the new strains, iprivate enterprise must be looked to 1ienceforth to furnish the general trade with, its main supply of seeds and roots.
 The department will not make gem eral distributions of seeds or roots of the new strains. The names of firms and Individual growers who have stocks of the new straIns may be ob-

plowed ground as soon as the oat seed ing is over. Fall blowing leaves the
 field rough, which aids evaporation in
 the early spring. Disking will cover
 the surface with fine mulch and save
 the moisture.
 The mistake is commonly made of
 leaving the fall-ploWed ground without dislking until time to plant. By spring
 the ground has become packed Ey snoWs and rains and should be disked
 or at least narrowed as soon as oat seeding is over This will conserve the moisture and prevent the firing" of corn in August, which so often follows | fall blowing.
 There is seldom any advantage in blowing more than six inches deep, either in spring or fall. If ground is 1 to be plowed deeper than formerly, it | should be done in the fall. On heavy 1 soils the bad effects of too deep plow- ! ing is often seen for several years.

CHEESE AS A FOOD.

American chedder cheese constitutes q palatable and nourishing food that deserves wider use in the family inenu. Digestion experiments have proven 1t of high food value.
 Many pc. sons incorrectly assume that cheddar cheese is indigestible and constipatng. Experiments conducted by the L. $. department of agriculture and other agencies have proven that this is not true. Ninety five per cent Of the protein content of cheddar cheese is digestible and 90 per cent of its fuel or energy value is availa ble Cheese is one of the best substitutes fcr meat and is usually cheaper than meat
 Experiments have proven that one pound of cheddar cheese has as much protein as any of the following: 157 pounds of sirloin steak, 135 pounds of round steak, 1S9 pounds of fowl 1T9 pounds smoked ham. Cheese Is but one item of the important debt that we owe to the cow.-Extensior Service, Connecticut Agricultural Col Iese StorrS.

DiSKING CORN LAND
 WILL. SAVE MOISTURE
By P. G. HOLDEN

If possible, we should disk corn in the spring before the soil has lost it's moisture and become baked. If. we do not disk, the ground dries out and bakes and when we blow we turn un- der large Jumps and cover ts n with
 soft, mellow soil, plowed up from be- low. The hard, baked surface, turned
 to the bottom of the furrow in luupy
 condition, cannot be reached and
 broken up by disking, narrowing or
 cultivating. and it prevents the plois- ture from below from reaching inc
 roots of the corn.
 We often abuse our spring plowed land by turning up the furrows to the sun and winds and then allowing them to bake and dry out, depending. on | shower to mellow the ground at pant ing time. It is a good rule never to leave the field, either at noon or at l night, without first narrowing the ground that has been piowed.
 II is also a good idea to disk fall

PRESERVING EGGS,

Preserving eggs in waterglass is a simple matter if directions are follow ed. Eggs should be secured only from a reliable producer and should never be more than five days old. It is much better if they are less than "A hours old but this is sometimes impractical. Only clean eggs should be used, Washing eggs before placing them in the water- glass is not good practice as the wash ing takes away a film from the outside of the egg and makes it more porous and liable to deterioration. Only in- fertile eggs should be used.
 The proportions for mixing the wa terglass are one to 10, that is, for every gallon of waterglass as purchased 10 gallons of water should be added. This amount will cover 50 dozen eggs. It Is preferable to use water that has been boiled and cooled so that it is steriI- iZed. A stone jar or wooden tub may be used as a container. The principal thing is to have the container clean and large enough so that the liquid shall cover the eggs at least two inrne7 Four eight gallon jars will

 Eggs will remain in good condition about two weeks after being removed from the waterglass. They can be used for practically all purposes for which fresh eggs are used.

 It is well worth while to take live interest in the care of the pasture.
