ASPARAGUS.
To one who wel give the crop the
proper attention, asparagus growing is
both proritabie and interesting. As-
paragus being a plirennial, setting eta
st, bed means a permanent crop. The
4 plantiug should be done hi the spring,
Its that is the time when the plant
stand transplanting best, and for eas-
ile-reeognized elimatie reasons. Tear -
Old Plains are best, as experience has
strewn that these give tho heaviest
crops for the longest period, It is well
to investigate the source of supply, as
poor, lacking vitality roots can bear
nothing but poor and inferior stalks.
PPahts -which bear only staminate
tlOrivers, or those which do not bear
tieeile, are also the best for evident
reasons. The strengtli evhich otherwise
would ge to forming the seed is sent
to the roots for storage, tied later ap-
peare in a nice fat spear.
SETTING OUT PLANTS,
Asparague requires' a deep, rich,
moist, cool soil, with a warm expo -
suit. The straightest aml best grades
of grass are grown on sandy sone. As
asparagus does not like shade, It is
best to have the rows running north
and south. When running east and
west they will be shaded by the ridges
in the early spring, when the sun is
low, and this will delay sprouting of
the plants, The soil cannot be too
rich. Subsoiling is valuable.
The rows should ho our to six feet
apart, and the plants eet 18 inches to
6 feet in the row. Furrow s should
be 'made to a depth of about one toot.
1.n these the .roots are placed. The
'crowns should be covered with about
three inches of good friable soil/ and
retth the cultivation of the succeeding
.h.suiximer, the depression in which the
rotas stand will gradually be filled in.
Asparagus. roots are wanderers, and
reach out for food in every direction.
For that reason it is unwise to have
rows. closer together than four feet..
WHEN TO MAKE THE fIRST CUT-
\ TING.
'While a few stray shoots may be
picked off the second year, it is best
to whit until the third year before do-
ing any cutting. To eut early might
permanently injure the later crops. It
is also possible to injure the crop by
cutting' too late each season. The crop
shoeld be cut clean when cutting be-
• gins, and all cutting should end be-
• fore July 4. It is best that the first
cutting (Which, is the third year after
the plants are set out) should end
May 20e. the next year, June 15, and
the fifth Year and thereafter July 4.
After cutting ceases the top should
be allowed to grow. The more they
flourish the better the asparagus will
yield next year, for it is from the foli-
age that the roots and crown secure
enera for the nexrbbason's
'17116 large shoots are apt to betender
and sitcculent when rich soil and geed
• tillage are avatianle. Only rich soil
and geed tillage can supply the feed
eeeded for these qualities.
Usittely asparagus is cut off three or
tfottr..inches below the surfacoe of the
/fII with a long, sharp knife, but one
elted aaparagus grower objects to this
practice, first, because it increages the
temptation to cut too low so as to'set
the stalks of uniform lehgthearel, see-
ond, it tends to weste and to injure
the plant. He would substitute -for this
_practice -a careful hand -plotting' or
breaking. The gatherer takes two rowa

COVEle CROPS, GRADING AND
ENEMIES.

asparages. The Crop meeting eppro-
vat at present is a mixture of rye and
veteh, one and a halt bushels qf rye
and 15 pounds ot vetch per acre, sown

WAR UPON,INSECTS.
A. Conflict That Sooner or Later
the World *bet Pate.
A writer in an English journal has
suggested that the next great war will
be between man and the,'Inseet world.
This was would be waged not only on
insecte that actually attack man him-
self, but also on all those winged or
creeping things- that are his enemiesen
less -direct ways -those specigs that, to
use the writer's phrase, "exist at the
expelase ot human progress and hap
Piness."
We all shudder with borror at the
thought of a scorpion of a eentipele
although few Of us ever see one of
them, but We do not shudder enough at
the thought of the untold inillione of
disgusting things which we are putting
up with all the time.
Perhaps it is unfortunate for us that
many or these harmful and even death -
dealing insects are very small, 11 they
were as large as they were bad we
sholdel soon rid ourselves' of them.
When we see the housefly or the mos-
quito hugely magnified we realize at
once that, compared with them area-
turally, the tiger is a charming and
beautiful thing, but we go away and
forget the magnified picture and sub-.
mit to the original of it.
The'exterminatiop of these pests is a
duty that the world faces, a righteous
crusade in which we should all join.
The scientists will tell us the best way
to wage the fight, but stieetific meth-
ods must be re -enforced by a public
opinion that will cease to tolerate un-
clean dwellings, stagnant pools. uticov-
ered tanks,. accumulations of expoeed
filth and everything else that invites
vermin and menaces human beings.

and seratched ilia shaggy head,
"Let us have peeve as brethren
should," the crouehtng tiger

And the great, warm heart of the

stirred.
"Enough, enough of blows and blood,"

"I shall call a truce to the war we
wage, if you will de the same.
