The Wingham Advance, 1916-05-04, Page 3tot ASPA.RAGUS Mum= The cultivation of mammal is be- coming more general each year. It is QUO of the earliest, as well as most de- lielotei and surest products of the gar- den. AsParagus is unique in its posi- tion among other vegetagles, in that when planted It laete a lifetbne. The asparagus plant starts Produc- lug seed when twe years old, but it is not best to use seed from plants under four year's old, When fully developed, the asparagus stalks will attain- a height of from five to te six feet, with numerous branches upon which are Produced a profusion of bright gicarlet berriea, each berry containing from three to six seeds. The start, however, in usualy made with plants. There should ba a care- ful selectioa of the individual plants to be Bet out. A crown with four or five strong, well-tlevelopen buds, is far better than a dozen weak and sickly once. If possible, only plants witli not aver six buds should be selected, The roots, too, should be strong and ot uniform thickness, succulent and not too fibrous. The best roots are the cheapest. Asparagus thrives in almost anY good, eveindrained soil, but does best In deep, rich, loose loams. Satis- factory crops are obtained in good corn land. The plants gratefully re- spond to liberal manuring and good cultivation. It is possible to give too much manure. The soil should be free from roots, stones or any material that will inter- fere with the growth of the spears, Trees of no kind should be allowed in the asparagus bed on account of the shade thus made, and also for the rea- son that the roots of the trees make heavy drafts upon the soil. Shade must be avoided, not only from trees, but hedges, hills, or buildings. There should also be a protection from cold *winds. For commercial purposes, on a large scale, a weliedrained, llglit, deep, sandy loam, with a light clay Sub -soil Is best. A. heavy clay soli, or land with a hard -pan sub-soll, or any soil that is cold and wet, is not suitable for asparagus. The bed must be kept free from weeds. SETTING OUT PLANTS. The best time for setting out the plants is in the spring, when the soil cAn be worked • to good advantage. From April to the middle of June is the best season. Transplanting must uover be done in the fall. In planting in June however„ preparation must be made for watering the plants in case of drouth. • In planting the work should be done as expeditiously as possible; so as not to expose the roots to the drying influ- ences of sun or -wind The ground must first be plowed and harrowed or spaded and raked over, so as to get it into a mellow condition; then the rows for plant- ing are lale out. Someeprefer having the row e run north and south, but more important than that is having the rows run with the slope of the land, Asparagus should never be planted closer than two feet in rows that are three feet apart, Our forefathers planted asparagus in a different manner than is adopted at the present day. They would dig deep 'trenches by plowing a furrow each way, and if deemed' necessary -going over the ground a sufficient number :of times to make the furrows from eight to ten inches deep. After this the loose soli is thrown out with a shovel eo as to leave the trenches ta a uniform depth of about a foot, and of the same width at the bottom. Sonee fertilizing material should be scatter- ed in the trenches before planting. Some growers spread decomposed man- ure over the bottom of the furrow to a depth of about three inches, covering it with two inches of fine soil. The roots are then placed in the furrow, the crown in the centre, and the rootlets spread out evenly andehor- izontally, like the spokes of a wheel, and at once covered with three inches • of fine mellow soil which is pressed around them? If at planting time the ground should be dry it should be pressed down quite firmly about the roots, so as to prevent their drying out, and to hasten their growth. CULTIVATION AND AFTER cam. Throughout the first season culti- vate carefully, working the soil to- ward the plants. At the end of the first season the tops will be about three feet high. As soon as dead in tbe fall remove and cultivate the whole bed, about four inches deep, without regard t� the rows, Again, the following spring, begin cultivation as soon as the ground will Allo'w• It is best not to do any cetting of the crop until the spring of the third year. Cultivation the second year should be the same as the first.. C,utting should ond about the middle of June. At this time the entire bed should be thor- oughly cultivated three inches deep, and a good coating of well -rotted barnyard manure added. FARM NEWS AND vinws. You may be able, to argue yourself into believing that ighallow plowing and one -crop farming is best, but you can't argue Nature into decorating land so handled with bumper yields. Howener, land shou1d0 be deepened too much at a time. From shallow to deep plowing all at once is bad - and worse in the spring. When applying lime use it on crone that respond most readily to it. Spin- ach, beets, lettuce, cantaloupes and canbace like sweet soils. In general, the cow that gives the most milk produces it at the least ceet nor quart.

Some interesting facts about a strange race or giants in the Soudan are given by the Rev. C. Lea -Wilson, who has been carrying on missionary work in a district of the White Nile, a thousand miles +south of Khar- toum. "It was only at the beginning of last year," he tells the London Chron- icle, "that a first atiempt was made to penetrate to the west of the river into the Bahr-el-Ghazel. We travelled here for about 200 miles, and fixed on a large clearing in the forest for our station. In the neighborhood are about 8,000 people, known as Jieng, who are among the tallest tribes in the world. They are jet black, typical negroes, and do not practice either cannibalism or human sacrifice. They have ad- mirable qualities, and I have never seen among them a case of cruelty to women or children. "They have Many curious habits. For some reason, apparently un- known even to themeelves, all adults have six of 'their teeth removed. This does not add to their personal charm, but they are great dandies. They employ a kind of native toothbrush with which they clean their teeth by means of wood ash. They take great pride and devote much time to the dressing of their hair, powder their faces and wear ostrich feathers. They have a habit, when at rest, of standing on one foot like storks. They believe in a supreme being , to whom they sacrifice through their chiefs or witch doctors. Just before I left they made great preparations for a rain sacrifice, but the rain carae the game afternoon before the sacrifice was offered." Mr. Lea -Wilson states that the surrounding country Is like a zoo- logical garden. Elephants, giraffes', rhinos, buffaloes, lions and leopards abound, The Jieng people are remarkably brave and they killed two man-eating lions 'with spears alone. This naeans that the- first men attacking the ani- mal are killed to a certainty, before their companions are enabled to rush in and despatch the wounded animal. They also hunt elephants in the very primitive and dangerous fash- ion of dropping weighted, spears upon the elephant from the branches of trees. These spears remain fixed .and the elephant exists for days., until it is eahausted by the increas- ing number gf spears which are em- bedded in its hide. The country is full of 1Vory, large quantities of which are hidden or buried and will probably never be found. In one little village the people killed 15 hippos in three days, simply by throwing spears at the huge creatures Preen their canoes. - Philadelphia Public Ledger, .1* QUEERLY NAMED INNS.

For several months the successful brother lived happily with las young and beautiful bride in a teepee in the shadow of the clifr where the eur- famed eagle's nest was loeutecl.

This remarkable young man, Sperry -he is only 21 -thereupon proceeded to set the automatic device for arise of 45 degrees to the horizon. Without touching his hands to any con- tinued in that position tin longhehhee wanted to, and M. Quin felt as if he were in an ordinary ma- chine on a calm clay. It must be re- membered that all this time, in which about a half a mile' was covered, the aydroplane was automatically compen- sating ior every blast of wind that struck it, and M. Quinton insisted that there was a gale blowing all the time, Four small gyroscopes do the govern - Mg.

The method itt vogue among European nations of compelling two young people to regu- late their own love affairs would ex - elk the commisseration of a mother ot Java, for she would regard it as the refinement of cruelty to throw her daughter . or lier son upon their own resources, with no kindly hand to ate range the details of the most import- ant transaction of one's life. The gentle, brown subjects of Queen Wilhelmina, who live in the great island over which she reigns from her tulip gardens 6,000 miles away, never have the disagreeable incidents of breach of promise or elopement. No fond heart is ever jolted by jilt, and the unpleasant effects of colds and Influenza, as results of exposure to the night- air while serenading some dam- sel, are not among the -dangers to be faced by the jeunesse doree of the land of the coffee berry and the betel nut. In the well organized social scheme of Java, marriagee are made as soon as the little strangers open their blinking, slanting bits of black eyes - upon the world. - As soon as a baby IS born, a suitable husband or wife is sought out among the families of the same social set, and the parents of the future wedded pair arrange all the details nicely and comfortably, and much trouble is thus averted the young people by this simple procedure. The children grow up together, and whets they arrive at the ages Of 10 or 12, preparations are begun for the celebrations of the marriage ceremony. Muck planning of thewedding gown of the'bride is avoided by the simple process or painting her face and the upper portion of her body with a lib- eral coat of yellow ochre. The rest of her figure is enveloped in 'two "sarongs," or square pieces of cloth, the upper one coming under the arm pits and over the chest and the lower, one wrapped around the hips and coin - lug down to the feet. The "sarongs" aro brilliantly covered with native dyes and the more expensive bear de- signs of much beauty and taste. As the hour of the ceremony draws near, a riehlyheaded and embroidered crown is placed upon the bride's head. Hanging down on each side from the crown are long strings of tuberoses, threaded on thin strips of bamboo., reaching to below the waist. The oldest women in the village are se- lected for bridesmaids, and they deck the bride up in her ,finery and touch up the yellow ochre with paint brushes wherever the pigment shows signs of -wear, The bride is rarely over ten Years of age at this time. 4,2 Here is an estimate of vessels with- drawn from U. S. commerce since the beginning of the Europe= War; Ger- man and Austrian ships interned throughottt the world, 3,024 ships, 8,- 033,000 tons; British ships requisi- tiofted, 2,300 ships, tonnage not known; Russian ships regnisitioned, number unknown, but about 900,000 tons. No reliable figures can be gain- ed about the Iorench and Italian shins taken for war use, but the number is known to be large. Perhaps the total number of ships lost to -trade is 7.- 000.

TEST "ALL WOOL" BY FIRE To Detect Cotton Fibres Burn a Sample of the Cloth. • Until the proper labeling of textiles has been made compulsory there are certain simple teets by means of which one may determiuo whether an ."ail wool" fabric is really all wool or not. The old way of telling by feeling and looking is no longer reliable, for cot- ton can be made both to feel and look like wool. The only sure way is to take samples of the goods home with you and make tests of them there. If a pieee of cotton cloth is ignited It will be found to burn rather rapid- ly with a bright, steady flame. There is no disagreeable odor, and when the material is completely consumed there will be left only a small amount of light gray, fluffy ash. If a pieoe of pure wool is lighted it will be found to burn much more slowly and with a less steady flantee emit ting a character- istic, mild hissing noise and a strong odor very similar to that oi burned horn. There will be much more ash remaining than in the case of cotter:, and it will be in the form of a crinkly, black, crisp bail. In- applying this test to a fabric the whole sample should not be burned at once, for if it is a so-called wool piece containing considerable cotton it win be very difficult to determine whether it is burning more like cotton or wool. Threads should be taken from the eample, several each from the warp and the woof, and burned separately. With a very little practice one will be able to detect the cotton threads by a characteristic manner of burning. Sometimes it is well to pick a thread apart with a pin and test the individ- ual fibre with the flame to determine whether- the thread is entirely wool or mixed with cotton. - - LAW OLD AND NEW.
