WHEN TO CUT DOWN ASPARAGUS

The cutting of asparagus for the table should end about the middle of June at the latest in order that the plant may make top growth and store up strength for the succeeding season. Seeding as- paraSps plants often become a nuisance around asparagus bedsS birds carrying the seeds or children stringing them and scattering them about, so that before one knows it an asparagus is established and it is hard job to delve for an asparagus root once it gets good start. for the roots go deep
 The time to cut off the tops is just as the berries begin to turn red and before they. have had a chance to ripen sufficient ly to fall from the plant. Take away the tops and burn them as soon as they have died sufficiently and spread the ashes on some vegetable or flower bed for their fertilizing con content

Luscious blueberries-many of which are three-fourths of an inch in diameter that sell for $10 a bushel! Such is the product secured by New Jersey grower, whose principal business has been grow ing cranberries, but who more recently ha staken up the cultivation of blueber- ries. At present he has 20 acres which he has planted, in part, with carefully selected wild blueberry stock, and in part, with hybrids furnished by the bu- reau of plant industry of the United States department of agriculture. Not only are the berries on this tract of very high quality but the yield is prolific. the older plants producing at the rate of nearly 100 bushels to the acre The plan tation is situated at Whitesbog, near Browns Mills

THE PROPER FEED
 FOR GROWING CHICKENS

FOR GROWING CHICKENS
 As soon as chickens will eat whole wheat cracked corn and other grains the small sized chick feed can be eliminated Tn addition to the above feeds the chickens growth can be hastened if they are given sour milk skim milk or butter milk to drink.
 Growing chickens kept on good range may be given all their feed in hopper, mixing two parts by weight of cracked corn with one part of wheat, or equal parts of cracked corn, wheat and oats in one hopper and the dry mash in another. The beef scrap may be left out of the dry mash. and fed in a separate hopper, so that the chickens can eat all of this feed they desire. If the beef scrap is to be fed separately it is advisable to wait until the chicks are 10 days old, the poultry division of the United States de- partment of agriculture advises, although many poultrymen put the beef scrap be- fore the young chickens at the start with out bad results.
 Chickens confined to small yards should always be supplied with green feed. Fine charcoal. grit and oyster she'll should be kept before the chickens at all times, and cracked or ground bone may be fed where the chickens are kept in small, bare yards, but the latter feed is not necessary for chickens that have a good range.

TWO DISEASES TO WATCH.

Cucumbers and muskmelons sometimes have mysterious complaints and get the dying habit without any apparent cause. The two commonest of these ailments are wilt and "downy mildew.' The latter is the most destructive pest in the way of a plant disease that hits the cucurbits, as the members of the family are known. It is a fungus disease and Bordeaux mixture is the remedy. It is an excellent idea. to be on the safe side and give the cukes and melons good spraying with Bor- deaux as soon as they start to run It
