The sprouts coming through this depth of soil will be bleached and tender. This ridging also facilitates subsequent cultivation, as after the asparagus is cut these ridges may be raked or lightly harrowed to kill all weeds without Injuring the crowns below. No asparagus should be cut until the plants are two or three years old, but after they have become thoroughly established, cutting may continue daily for six or eight weeks in the spring. Allow no stems to make leaves until cutting ceases about the first of June. After that time the best cultivation should be given until autumn. Under no circumstances should the tops be cut after harvesting ceases until they have died In the fall. This summer growth makes the plants strong and ready for the next spring's crop. A bed treated In this way every year should produce well for forty years. long,-wel- l Partly Analyzed Soils The analysis of soils Is of a good deal of importance to the farmer and yet no analysis can tell exactly what a soil will do or what It most needs. By chemical analysis we get certain results. The test shows the chemicals that compose the soil but It does not how the humus and ready plant food. Thus two soils might analyze exactly alike and yet one of them might be a productive and the other an unproductive soil. One might be rich In humus and the other contain no humus. In one the available nitrogen might be large, while In the other there might be no available nitrogen. The analysis of soils Is a thing that hould be carried on to a greater extent than at present, but we must not look for too great results from it. One of the best analyses of soils is that made by the actual plants. Knowing the need3 of different plants we can largely determine the character of the soil by the relative growth of the plants. The partly analyzed soil may yet be of great use to the farmer who has to buy commercial fertilizer, as he can determine the kind of chemical fertilizer to use in the largest quantities. But a systematic growing of certain plants will give him a very full stock of Information as to the actual supply of plant food In his ground. This is particularly the case with varieties of the same plant. Take for Instance the strawberry. It is our experience that some varieties do well on clay soil, while others will simply do nothing on such soils. The farmer that tries but one variety of a plant on his ground cannot know that he is getting the one that will give him the best results.

Send 5 eenta to Utpans Chemical Salt Lake City. Fall Goods. Co., New York, for 10 (ample and l.ooo testimonials. A too wa.im. For winter storage the method In vogue in some celery growwell-draining districts is to make, on six to four of soils, beds double rows of plants with a wall of dirt between. Bank up on the outside till the tips of the leaves Just show above the surface of the bed. Leave the bed in this condition till hard freezing begins, then throw two or three inches of soil over the surface. Let this soil freeze hard before applyed ing litter, and never apply heavy cover at the first approach of cold weather. The soil in the bed Is still warm, and if a heavy coat of manure Is put on the top, the frost is soon taken out of the surface soil and the temperature will be high enough to induce decay. The secret of success with the winter storage of celery is to keep cool. As the severe weather of winter approaches, the covering of litter may he increased unless there is a fall of snow. To open the beds take the litter off from one end, brek the crust of soil with a pickaxe, and remove any desired amount of celery. Then carefully replace the covering. This plan has the merit of cheapness, and for holding plants through the winter is preferable in a pit or cellar. If the plants are to be disposed of as early as January, they may be stored in a cool cellar or pit. In this case the plants are set very closely together on loose moist loam. To avoid heating consequent on packing large quantities of the plants together, compartments about two feet wide by eight or ten feet long are made by setting up boards, which shall come to the tops of the plants when in place. If the plants are closely packed so as to exclude the air it is unnecessary to use boards between them. When plants are stored in this way it Is necessary to keep the temperature of the pit or cellar as near the freezing point as possible. If, however, it is desired to hasten the process of blanching, the temperature of the place may be raised. The soil in which the plants are placed should be kept moist to foliage should prevent wilting, but always be kept dry, or there will be trouble from rotting. te The Mushroom Season. The mushroom season has opened with a good supply of this delicious vegetable. Years differ very greatly In this respect. During the last five years we have had three mushroom seasons. They were 1894, 1896 and 1898. The years 1895 and 1897 were off years, so to speak. The lack of rains during the summer and early fall made it impossible for the mycelium to develop. At least this was the condition in Northern Illinois, and we presume the same was true over a wide extent of country. Good rains are necessary some weeks before the fruit of the mushroom appears, for the plant itself is of slow development. It would be of value to our readers if they would educate themselves on the wild mushrooms. At present Agaricus Melleus Is growing in large quantities in the vicinity of Northern Illinois and we doubt not throughout the whole country. This mushroom is described in a report of the Department of Agriculture for 1891. It is a honey colored mushroom of great prolificacy. We will not try to describe it, for we think it unsafe for our readers to attempt to gather this or any other mushroom on word descriptions. The government publishes colored plates of the principal mushrooms that are good for food. In this way one could be about certain of the variety he is gathering. If any of our readers wish to take up the subject at this time, we would advise them to send to Washington for reports on mushrooms. We will add a word of caution: Do not take any chances on varieties that you do not know, and do not trust any of the rules that are given for determining good and bad mushrooms. Such rules are very deadly, as they fail at the very point where they are supposed to be strong. Take for instance the rule that says put a teaspoon in the cooking mushroom and if It be poisonous it will turn the spoon black or at least discolor it. One of the deadly Amanitas will do no such thing, but nevertheless It is as deadly as a rattlesnake, no antidote having been found for it. Japan National Contention, Let me draw a pen picture for you. Nearly two hundred Ys, representing seven different local unions, some of them coming a distance of more than four hundred miles, are occupying the front of Union church, Yokohama, and the choir loft is filled with girls on whose breast our white badge is pinned. The program says from two to three is Young Womans Hour, and all are radiant in eager anticipa- tion. At last the moment arrives. Tha president, Mrs. Yajima, leaves the platform and calls the general secre- tary to the chair. Aa gracefully, and with as much as though sne has always been accustomed to preside at great meetings. Miss Taml Mitani takes her places, bows very low, as is the Japanese custom, makes a few introductory remarks, and calls for the first number upon the program, Some glad day. This Is followed by letters, papers and poems galore, by other songs from the White Ribbon Hymnal, and the report of the secretary, from which we learn that twelve schools are organized with a membership of more than six hundred girls. Monthly meetings have been held in nearly every place, flowers distributed, and classes canvassed for new recruits. What hath God wrought. And what is it going to mean in the future to have six hundred young women go out to all parts of this empire and become the nucleus for temperance work? When that day comes, surely the W. C. T. U. will have a solid rock upon which to build. The hour's program closed with White Ribbon Vibrations. The whole exercise was as rhythmical, as classical as the most beautiful dream, and older people sat rejoicing In the day that is to be." From the Y Almanac.
