piled over and around them in such a
manner that they were kept imprisoned

tures in the broken cars.
Forcing Him Uarl ) , Asparagus , Klo
American Agriculturist.
The forcing of the production of veg
etables tar in advance of the usual season -
son , by aid of artificial heat , occupies a
largo share of the time of the English
gardener. It was formerly much moro
prevalent in this country than since the
rapid carriage by railway and steam
brings largo supplies raised at the south
to northern markets , and furnishes many
vegetables much cheaper than they can
bo produced hero by forcing. Lettuce ,
which docs not boar long transportation ,
is about the only vegetable that is now
forced on a largo scale. Boston is the
headquarters for this industry , and there
are many acres of glass devoted to it in
the neighborhood of that city , the grow
ers supplying the markets in nearly all
the eastern cities. Asparagus was never
forced to a great extent for market with
us , as the plants must bo four or five
years old before they are largo enough
for this. The beds in the southern states
are now productive , and the supply is
annually increasing. It comes in small
quantities in January and is abundant in
February. Rhubarb is occasionally
forced as an incidental crop by
ilorists , who thus utilize the sjiaco
under the benches of their greenhouses.
lUofs frem an old bad , or plants raised
for the purpose are stacked closely under
the benches and line soil sifted over to
fill up all the spaces between the roots.
With the temperature at from sixty to
soventy-livo degrees stalks are soon pro
duced , and the florist often derives a
handsome return for a small outlay. A
A supply for family use can bo readily
forced by placing a few roots in a barrel
or cask with earth to fill the spaces. The
plants do not need light ; indeed , thu
stalks are all the moro tender when pro
duced in the dark , hence the barrel
should bo covered , taking care to supply
water as needed. _ It may bo sot near the
collar furnace or in a warm place in a spa *
cious kitchen. If more convenient , it
may be Hot under a shod with fermenting
manure piled around St. Of course , pro-
T.mration for forcing in this manner should
bo made before the ground closed. Still ,
advantage should be taken of the usual
"January thaw" to lift a few roots for
the purpose , and still give a supply of
stalks much earlier than they can bo had
from the open ground. The roots after
forcing are worth but little , and it is
bettor to keep up a supply by making
now plantings than to set out.
Draft IforHO UuslncsM.
Stookman ,
If you liavo not already plenty of good
draft stallions in your neighborhood to
brood from next spring , don't wait until
the eoaion for breeding is lioro before
you begin to think about the matter. If
you are not able or do not care to invest
as much as some first-class horse will
, cost , mention the fact to some enterpris
ing neighbor , or twt or three of them for
that matter , and BOO if you cannot arrange
for the purchase of a horse that will pay
a gooJ return on the amount invested ,
and the trouble , and by HO doing enhance
the viiluo of your horse stock from 50 to
100 per cent in a few years. It is time now
to begin to map out your arrangements
for next year's breeding , and the sooner
you begin the bettor it will bo for
many and various reasons. You can se
lect with more deliberation , and if ono
firm can't suit you , you have time to visit
another. You will have time to acclimate
a horoo and become accustomed to his
habits and requirements before the rush
season begins. The matter of advertis
ing is no small consideration , as farmers
who know positively that a worthy horse
is within roach are likely to brood moro
marcs. All the advantages derived from
taking hold of such a work would take
up moro space than could duvoto to it ,
but the principal point should not bo
lost sight that of inaugurating suoh
work , and of doing so at once.

The farmer himself is the most fascin

hero that the contented steadfastness of
