A Focket Bicycle.
A Frenchman named Leguir, who is
an enthusiastic bicyclist, and has had
untold trouble with train guards and
baggage men when transporting his
wheel on the .-ail ways, has invented for
his own convenience a pocket bicycle.
This name is not to tahen literally; the
bicycle cannot be folded so closely as
to go into a man's pocket. However,
each wheel, after the rubber tiring has
been remove!, may be taken apart in
four sections, and these sections
clapped together, as a fan would be, so
that the whole machine goes into a
case of about the size required for five
or six umbrellas. M. Leguir carries the
package with : shawl strap. A Berlin
editor who went to Paris to examine
the machine, with the intention of hav
ing one made for his own use, remark
ed after his return: "AH very fine, but
we shall thinka long time before trust
ing our own bones to this machine."

Bulletin No. 43 ot the Missouri Ex
periment. Station, by Prof. J. C. Whit
ten, horticulturist, describes in detail
the best methods of growing aspara
gus, which, briefly summarized, are as
follows:
This plant succeeds well In any rich
soil, a loose and somewhat sandy soil
being preferred. The best Varieties are
the Palmetto and Colossi!; For the
best results the seed should be sown
in the greenhouse or hot-bed in Feb
tnary. Wheh the plants ate two or
three inches high put the best of them
in 2Vs Inch pots. The selection of
plants is of great importance. Many
of them will have stems that are flat
and twisted, or that send but branches
near the terouhd; are tough and woody
and should be discarded. Select only
such as are cylindrical, sniocth. and
make at least twb inches of growth
before putting out leaves. These will
make crisp aad tender 'plants. Re
pot these young and tender plants fre
quently until about the first of May,
when they should be planted out of
doors. In the absence o( greenhouse
or hot-bed facilities for growing these
plants, it would be best to buy from
some first-class nursery good one-year-old
plants. For the asparagus bed .the
soil should be pulverised thoroughly
to a good depth, and the plants set 12
to 18 inches apart in straight rows
four feet apart. Vary the depth of
setting the plants in the ground from
four inches at one end dt the bed Id
eight inches at the other; the shallow
set plants will come tip earlier in the
spring, thus giving a longer producing
season. Give, clean, cultivation during
the summer, and in the early winter
mulch heavily with old fine manure.
In early spring ridge tip the rows by
turning the soil between the rows over
the sprouting plants. The sprouts com
ing through this depth of soil will be
long, well bleached and tender. This
ridging also facilitates subsequent cul
tivation, as after the asparagus is cut
these ridges may be raked or lightly
harrowed to kill all weeds without in
juring the crowns below. No aspara
gus 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 cir
cumstances should the tops be cut af
ter harvesting ceases until they have
died In the fall. This summer growth
makes the plants strong and ready for
the nexjt spring's crop. A 'ied treated
in this way every year should produce
well for forty years.
iart!r Analyzed Soils.
The analysis of soils is of a gocd
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 docs not
show 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 unpro
ductive soil. -One might be rich in
humus and the other contain no hu
mus. 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
should be carried on to a greater ex
tent than at present, but we must not
look for too great results from it. One
of the be3t analyses of soils is that
made by the actual plants. Knowing
the needs of different plants we can
largely determine the character of the
soil by the relative growth of the
plants.
The partly analyzed soil may jet be
of great use to the farmer who has to
buy commercial fertilizer, as he, can
determine the kind of chemical fer
tilizer 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 vith varieties of
(he 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
Euch 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.
Storace of Celery.
A report of the Maine Experiment
Station says: If on well drained soils,
celery plants may be left in the rows
till the last of November, by having
some litter at hand to apply in case
or hard freezing. It should be re
membered, however, that if the plants
are well banked a little freezing of
the tips of the leaves will do no harm,
and the mistake is often made of ap
plying winter protection too early and
thus injuring the crop by keeping it'
too warm. For winter storage the
method in vogue in come celery grow
ing districts is to make, on well
drained soils, beds of four to six
double rows of plants with a wall of
dirt between. Bank up on the out
tide till tho 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 apply
Ing litter, and never apply heavy
cover at the first approach ot cold
weather. The soil ia the bed is still
warm, and if a heavy ccat of manure
is. put on the top, the frost is soon
taken out ot 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 lit
ter may be increased unless there Is a
fall of snow.
To open the beds take the litter off
from one end. break the crust of soil
with a pickaxe, and remove any de
sired amount of celery. Then care?
fully replace the covering. This plan
has the merit of cheapness, and for
holding plant3 thrcush the winter la
preferable in a p:t or cellar. If the
plants are to be disposed of as early
aa January, they may be stored In a
cool cellar or pit In this case the
plants are set very closely together on
lcoe moist loam. To avoid heating
consequent on packing large quanti
ties of the plants together, compart
ments about two feet wide by eight or
ten feet long are made by setting up
boards, which shall come to the tops
of tha plants when In place. If the
plaata are closely packed so as to ex
clude the air it is unnecessary to .use
boards between them. When plants
are stared in this, way it is necessary
aatat-aa
desired to
hasten the process ot blaachiag. the
temperature of the place may be
raised. The soil In which the alaats
are placed should be kept 'moist to
prevent wilting, bat t-e foliage shoaM
always be kept dry. or there will M
trouble from rotting.
MaahrMfea Sfraioa,
The mushroom season has opened
with a good supply ot this delicious
vegetable. Years differ very greatly
in this respect During the last five
years we have bad three mushroom
seasons. They were 1S94, 1896 aad
1898. The years 1S95 and 1897 were
off years, so to speak. Tbo laek of
rains during the summer and early fall
made it impossible for the mycelium
to develop. At least this was the con
dition in Northern Illinois, and we
presume the same wes true over a
wide extent ot 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 Mclleus is growing In large
quantities in the vicinity of Northern
Illinois and we doubt not throughout
the whole codntry. This mushroom is
described id a report ol the Depart
ment or Agriculture for 1891. It is a
honey colored mushroom of great pro
lificacy. We will not try to describe
it, for we think it unsafe for our read
ers 16 attempt to gather this or any
bther mushroom on word' descriptions.
The government publishes colored
plates ot the principal mushrooms
that are good for food. Ia this way
one could be about certain of the
variety he is gathering. If any ot our
readers wish to take up the subject
at this time, we would advise them to
send tb Washington for reports on
mushrooms. We will add a word ot
cautioh: Do Hot take any chances on
varieties that you do hot know, and do
not trust any ot the rules that ire
given for determining good and bad
mushrooms. Such rules are very dead
ly, 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 n6 such
thing, but nevertheless it is as deadly
as a rattlesnake, no antidote having
been found for it
Artificial Lakea ea Faros.
We have noticed in some parts of Ill
inois a number of small artificial lakes
constructed in the pastures where the
soil is suitable. Recently we. saw not
less than half a dozen of these on a
single large farm. So far as we could
eee they supplied the only water avail
able for the stock, and the latter not
only drank the water but bathed In lt
There was no outlet, and the supply
was gathered mostly from the rains.
The result of such conditions is that,
the water becomes stagnant and foul.
Water weeds and water life multiply
rapidly and' the possibilities of disease
are greatly increased. It would be
better td build fewer artificial ponds
and have them more sanitary in con
struction. The desideratum is to produce a
pond in which there will be a current
of water. In such farms as we refsr
to it will be found impossible to pro
duce such ponds without going outside
of the natural resources of the pasture.
In many townships there are no brooks
that run throughout the year. The de
pendence in such cases must be placed
in a wind-mill, and this is the reason
why fewer and better ponds should be
constructed.- A wind-mili will not give
much of a stream, it is true, but it will
be enough to prevent the water from
becoming entirely stagnant.
It will take some study to make the
water run through the whole pond, but
this, can be accomplished by placing
obstructions in the way of the current,
continually deflecting it. Where there
are low swales it will not require much
of a lift to get the water to the top
of the ground. This will increase the
amount of water that can be pumped.
If gravel and sand be near and plenti
ful, it might be advisable to use some
of it for the bottom and sides, as that
would probably have some influence on
keeping down the growth of slime in
the ponds. It would be also well to
suggest tbat the hogs be not allowed
to divide the possession of this pond
with the other stock. The bogs seem
to do more than any other animals to
keep such places in an unwholesome
state.
Merino Wool Decreaae In Aaatralta.
The annual wool trade review Issued
by Messrs. Winchcombc, Carson & Co.,
of Sydney, New South Wales, calls at
tention to the decrease in merino wool
in that part of Australasia, and the
relative increase of crossbred wools.
It says:
"There are now so many different
degrees of cross existing that the old
New England type of wool seems in
danger of losing its identity altogether.
Many selectors have actually bred
from crossbred rams. Result, chaos,
some of the progeny going back to
strong wools, c'hers tending to fine,
and tbe greater majority being nonde
scripts. . . . It is stated that 65 per
cent of the sheep in the Argentine Re
public are now crossbreds, and about
75 per cent of tbe New Zealand sheep
are cither crossbreds or long-wools.
Consequently the man who breeds for
a crossbred wool abandons the class of
staple which can be grown nowhere
to such perfection as in Australia in
favor of a commoner grade which is
being produced in immense quantities
in various other parts of tbe world."
Destroying Wheat Smut The beat
method for destroying smut in Utah la
to submit the grain to a bath of vitriol
and lime water just before time, for
sowing. All the wheat sown is spring
grain, hence the bath is given after the
seed has been stored In the granary
during the winter. The bath is made
by dissolving ten pounds of vitriol and
an equal amount of lime in a barrel
of water to make enough for one ton
of wheat. The barrel is filled almost
full of this solution end the wheat is
dipped in and allowed, to thoroughly
saturate and then spread out to dry.
Some farmers use a tin-bucket or coal
oil can with boles perforated in tbe
bottom. Others shovel the barrel full
of wheat, and after leaving it stand
awnile throw out the grain. Another
method is to put the grain In a gunny
sack and submerge tbe sack. Ex.

It Hurts the Butter Business. The
bitterest foe of American buttermak
crs could not strike the business a
harder blow than do the so-called
creamery papers that advocate the use
of preservatives in the manufacture of
such butter as is intended for export,
or in fact in any butter, no matter for
what market lt may be designed. It
is tbe beginning of an era of adulter
ation, and this. In the end, no matter
tf legalized, will be ruinous to tbe traf
fic generally. Elgin' Dairy Report.
