Fertilizer Will Kill
Seeds and Young Plants.
Poor stands of various field
and garden crops come from fer-
tilizer being in contact witb the
seeds or witb the roots of germi-
nating seedlings. Now that
high grade fertilizer is used more
than ever before and acre appli-
cations are increasing, Injury to
planted seeds and to seedlings
occurs more frequently and is
more severe if precaution is not
taken to prevent it. To prevent
injury to seed and seedlings from
fertilizer is not only a simple
piece of work but is a means by
wbicb better preparation of the
seed bed is made. If the fertilizer
is well mixed with the soil and
applied to moist soil a few days
before the seeds are planted, then
there will be no injury.'—The Pro-
gressive farmer.
Sulphur Springs Sets
New Record for Eggs.
Sulphus Springs established a
new high record on eggs when
21,036 dozen were received here
by merchants and other buyers
ou one day. The price paid was
17c, bringing the poultry grow
era J.3,570,12. Seven hundred
and fifty gallons of cream were
received on the same day, which
brought $517.50, making a to
tal of over $4,000 p/iid for eggs
and cream to farmers in this
community. Pennington Pro
duce Company during the last
week shipped seven cars of eggs
to South America and one car to
Los Angeles and one car to New
Orleans, makiug a total of nine
cars for the week. The hen and
the cow are becoming leading
factors ou farms in Hopkins
County.
Farmer Spent $10
Per Year in 1778.
The following statement was
taken from the diary of a Con-
ueticut farmer in 1778:
"My pareuts were poor and
thoy put me at 12 years of age
to a farmer with whom I lived
until 1 was 21. My master fitted
me out with two suits of home-
spun, four woolen shirts, anr
two pairs of shoes. At 22 I mar
ried me a wife, and a very good
young woman she was. 1 mar-
ried my eideat daughter to a
clever lad to whom 1 gave 100
acres of my out land. This
daughter had been a working,
dutifnl girl, and therefore I fitted
her out well and to her mind; for
I told her to take the best of my
wool and flax and to spin herself
gowns, coats, stockings, and
ehift nay. I suffered her to buy
some cotton to make into sheets
and I was determined to do well
by her. At this time my farm
gave me and my whole family a
good liviug ou the produce of it
and left me one year with anoth-
er one hundred and fifty silver
dollars, for I never spent more
than ten dollars a year which
was for salt, nails and the like.
Nothing to wear, eat or drink
was purchased, as my farm pro-
vided all."—American Society of
Agricultural Engineers.

Good Friend
"There's a deep sort of joy that
we all understand;
In t$ie ring of a voice and the
clasp of a hand;
In the warmth of a smile that
is friendly and true;
And the comforting charm of a
good friend like you."
One reason there is so much
humor in the world thinks Clar-
ence is because there are so ma-
ny persons who take themselves
seriously.
The good bird dogs die young;
the sorry ones have as many
lives as a cat.
The person who reads most
discovers the most plagiarizers.
"A burgler broke into my
place last night."
"Did he get anything?"
"Rather! You see my wife
thought it was me!"
Smith, the druggist, has lost
his wife—she ran away with an-
other man so he inserted the fol-
lowing in the newspaper: "This
in to notify the man who so kind
ly relieved me of mv wife, that I
can supply him liniment, arnica,
salve, paudages, absorbent cot-
ton, iodine, sleeping powder and
crutcher at very low prices.

Tom says many a man gets a
reputation for being geod ua-

Woman is capable of a great
love, but of only a small friend-

Ohe of the best things to have
up yojir sleeve is a funny-bone.
What this country needs is not

They say there is much gamb-
ling in eggs now, but nobody
does more of it than the man
who eats them.
Toe "tired business man" often
gets that way from havfng to
contribute to all the 'Do Good'
movements that come along.
It isn't wise to believe every-
thing you bear—too muob of it

Asparagus for Appetizing and
Attractive Dishes
AT this season of the year, after
we have allowed ourselves the
1 richer foods which we taboo
during warmer weather, and before
summer has brought her riches to our
table, there is perhaps no more ap-
petizing vegetable to serve inan deli-
cate asparagus.
Asparagus on toast makes _ a de-
lightful luncheon dish, and is pre-
pared, quickly by pouring a creamv
white sauce over the asparagus, which
has been heated, and laid on triangles
of toast. Garnish with parsley.
A satisfying dinner dish is Arling-
ton Asparagus Arrange canned as-
paragus stalks through rings (ohe-'
third inch wide) c««t from lemotl
peel. Place cn oblong pieces of but-
tered toast (from which crusts have
been removed), moistened with liquid
in which the asparagus was canned.
Brush lertion rings with melted but-
ter: place in oven to reheat asparagus
and arrange on serving dish.
For an attractive Asparagus Salad
use canned asparagus tips, drained
and rinsed. Arrange on lettuce leave#
and serve with French dressing tdt
which has been added one-half table*
spoon tomato catsup.
