FARM NOTES.
— Asparagus is the earliest luxury that
appears in spring, and if the ground will
permit of so doing work should begin on
the bed this month. The first duty is to
burn the bed over. In fact it should have
been done last fall, the tops then being con-
sumed along with the straw or other mater-
ial used for burning over the bed. If the
level culture is used the whole bed can be
burned over easily, but an excellent way to
grow asparagus is to place the roots in rows
and hill the rows. These hills may be two
or three feet high, as no matter how high
they may be the shoots will grow until
they reach the surface. As the roots are
usually put down deep in the ground the
advantage of hilling is that considerable
stooping isavoided when cutting the stalks.
When manure is to be applied the rows
may be opened with a plow,the manure put
in,and a furrow on each side,thrown on the
manure, completes the hilling. Each row
can be cleaned off easily after the tops have
seeded, and precaution against insects can
be used more easily than when level cul-
ture is given. Asparagusshoots (or sprouts)
in 1000 pounds, contain about 3} pounds
nitrogen, I} pounds potash, 1 pound ofsoda
and 1 pound of phosphoric acid. About
933 pounds in 1000 of the shoots consist of
water. An excellent fertilizer, according
to the above, should consist of 100 pounds
nitrate of soda, 20 pounds acidulated phos-
phate rock and 10 pounds sulphate of pot-
ash. It will be noticed that nitrogen is
the most important plant food to apply;
therefore, stable manure is excellent if ni-
trate of soda is used with it. These ma-
terials may be applied in the fall by open-
ing the row,or the manure should be spread
in the fall on level beds and the nitrate in
spring.
The asparagus beetle and the rust bave
done much to discourage growers. The
beetle is less than one fourth of an inch in
length, is yellow, red and brilliantly black,
being very beautiful in appearance, and at-
tacks the tips of the shoots as soon as they
appear through the surface of the ground.
The larva feeds upon the tender bark and
leaves. The best mode of destroying them
is to draw the hands over the stalks so as
to crush them. A hen with young chick-
ens will perform excellent service, and
dusting with lime in the morning while
the stalks are damp with dew is also rec-
ommended. With persistent effort the
beetle can be kept in check. The rust is
more difficult to combat. It is a parasite
fungus growth, and is propagated by spores,
of which there are three stages—spring,
summer and winter, the latter being con-
spicuous by the darkening of the color of
the leaves. Rust, being a minute plant,
derives its nourishment from the sap of the
asparagus plants. Experiments at the Pur-
due University Experiment Station show
that asparagus affected with rust in the
third stage has numerous dark colored pus-
tules or spots, of irregular shape, distribut-
ed over its stems and leaves. These postu-
les contain the winterspores. These spores
(really the seeds) are found beneath the
epidermis of the plant, and as they develop
push it out and rupture it, at which stage
the spores are free to fall to the ground, ot
be blown about by the winds, while some
of them adhere to the plants during the
winter, germinating in the spring and in-
fecting new plants, producing the first or
spring stage, the life cycle being renewed
and the work of destruction of the aspara-
gus plants again begins.
The effects of rust is to cause a prema-
ture ripening of the plants. No satisfac-
tory remedy has been found, not even
spraying with Bordeaux mixture proving
effectual. Prevention is the only source of
relief, and the best is burning the stalks as
soon as they mature, not by heaping them
in piles, but by using straw or litter, so as
to burn over every square inch of the bed.
It is important that all growers in a neigh-
borhood should organize and work in har-
mony, for should one fail to do his duty he
will injure the others. As the plants some-
times begin to come through the ground al-
most before winter is over it will be of ad-
vantage to carefully observe the asparagus
plot and watch for both the beetle and rust
from start to finish. If the ground can be
worked it will pay to dig over the surface
of the bed to the depth of an inch, rake up
the refuse and consign to the flames. If
the bed was burned over last fall it will do
no harm to repeat the process again at this
season, as fire alone can save the beds from
destruction. In some sections rust has
completely put an end to asparagus grow-
ing, owing to lack of organized effort. It
has spread rapidly since first reported (1896)
and it will soon make its appearance in lo-
cations where it is now unknown If is
not too early to call attention to this dan-
ger and to urge the importance of all grow-
ers combining for protection, as individual
warfare against a pest that is spread far and
wide by winds will accomplish but little.
—Bone is phosphate of lime hence lime
is the desired substance. It abounds large-
ly in fruits in a soluble condition, in the
form of tartrate, malate and citrate of lime.
Grains contain but a small proportion cf
lime, but it exists largely in the portions
removed, such as bran. The bulbous vege-
tables, beets, carrots, potatoes, parsnips,
turnips, etc. (known as ‘‘roots’’), contain
but little lime proportionately, though the
leaves may be rich in that substance. The
vegetables of which the leaves and stalks
are eaten, such as cabbage, lettuce, celery,
spinach, etc., contain large proportions of
lime, and the onion is also well supplied.
Lean meat contains a proportion of lime, as
do also milk, cheese and eggs, That milk
promotes growth of the bony structure of
calves and that chicks hatch from eggs
with the bones fully formed, demonstrates
the facts mentioned. All foods contain
lime, however, to a certain extent, and in a
soluble form. If the food consumed is var-
ied there will be an abundant supply for an
individual, children requiring more lime
than adults for the purpose of promoting
growth.
—Keep only the old geese for breeding
purposes, sending the younger ones to mar-
ket. Old geese are not saleable, and are
more valuable in caring for their young
when three or four years old than before.
They begin to lay in February and March,
and should be given warm quarters from
now until spring. Geese pay well if cared
for and cost but little, as they prefer to for-
age for themselves.
—Young lambs are in order now, and
they will require attention. The time has
passed when the farmer should visit the
fields to bring the young lambs to the barn.
The ewes should he kept in the barn and
the lambs protected from the cold. A lamb
is a very delicate thing the first few hours
of its life, and should it become chilled it
will perish or slowly recover, as it receives
a severe shock.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
The fichu effect for evening waists and
gowns is growing in favor.
fichu of white or black gauze is draped
about the low, round neck and knotted at
the front, with ends falling half way down
the length of the skirt, or the scarf is
brought over to one side and bunched up
into a rosette, from which fall the long
frilled ends.
Fichus are a strikingly effective feature
on seme of the new evening gowns. Their
beauty consists not so much in their rich-
ness as in their handiwork, which in some
cases is intricate and so complex as to be
almost bewildering. A fichu consisting of
a long single strip of pale violet taffeta was
embroidered in violets, scattered over the
whole surface. Between the flowers and
extendingaround them in a delicate tracery
was a line of pale silver thread which seem-
ed a part of the floral design. To make the
fichu still more elegant there were sequins
of silver sewed here and there and left to
glisten like diamonds.
On a gown recently completed in blue
foulard the bodice was trimmed with a lace
arrangement which in modern parlance is
called a Marie Antoinette fichu. It was
fully five yards long. Made of the lightest
finest chiffon in a shade of pearl white, it
was edged with a chiffon ruching of white,
tipped with pink and black velvet put on
in the tiniest rows. The whole affair was
brought around the shoulders, draping them
well, and tying in front, below the bust.
Here it was caught with a diamonds ar-
row. It fell from the arrow point to the
floor.
The fluffy type of woman can be kitten-
ish gracefully, but let the tall severe style
resolutely turn her back on any tempta-
tion to gambol in frolicsome girlishness.
There is a liking this season for a dis-
tinet ‘‘note’” in the bodice, just above the
belt line. A waist carefully designed to be
worn with a smoky-gray cloth skirt, shows
a combination of light gray satin, dull gray
beads, and for the ‘‘note’’ a narrow girdle
effect from smoke-gray and white velvet.
Perhaps the readiest way to vary a full
dress evening waist is to change the color
of the knot of artificial flowers worn at the
left shoulder. One of white poppies is
suitable for the high light on a black se-
quined costume. Another bouquet of scar-
let carnations serves instead of the white
poppies on occasions.
The girl who wears shoes that look as
though she had borrowed her brother’s is
the one considered most stylish these days.
If you prefer to have your new frocks
made with a difference, that is not all
fashioned with a box pleated back breadth,
you may select an ‘‘inverted’’ back. This
is not so obscure as it sounds, but merely
means that the box pleats are turned inside
out, which throws the folds toward the
middle, instead of turning them away from
it. With an inverted back you have either
double or triple folds. meeting in the mid-
dle of the back over an inverted flat pleat.
The folds relax lower down and spread out-
ward to increase the drapery at the hem of
the skirt.
Belts or dress girdles will be exceedingly
narrow, mostly of extremely soft ribbon, so
that it may be folded sufficiently narrow,
without increasing the size of the waist-
line.
The mistake so many women make is
building a high collar so stiff that it is un-
gainly. tis best to leave off crinoline as
much as possible in the making of these
collars. Satin or a double piece of taffeta
as lining is quite enough and featherbone
does the rest.
The desire with the new collar is to have
its soft folds envelop the lower part of the
chin and back of the ear, and you can’t do
this if you stiffen it. That high effect you
see on some gowns is obtainel by feather-
boning a very wide piece of double faced
satin ribbon.
Dear me, girls! Aren’t you tired hear-
ing about clothes? Let’s talk about coif-
fures. I am told, by one who ought to know
that the brushy, baggy style is passing out.
Thank heaven! Bird’s nest I believe they
called it, though in many instances rat’s
nest would hit nearer the mark.
Fashion is compulsory rather than in-
stinctive, and I never could feel any real
liking for the unkempt head, could you? If
there is one thing more admirable than an-
other it is the nicely groomed, symmetrical
appearance of a well regulated coiffure,
which by the law of order appeals always
to a refined taste.
You may now draw your hair neatly up
from the nape of your neck, withdraw the
bolster from your pompadour, coil artistic-
ally and even allow a delicate fringe to
soften the severity of your brow.
The beautiful little effects for evening
wear, in ribbons, flowers, jewels, feathers,
ete., so much in vogue, are hecoming to al-
most every shape of face and head,and serve
to accentuate the ‘‘crown of glory’’ simile
inspired by well dressed hair.
There are not nearly as many secrets in
hand treatment as people imagine. A little
ammonia or borax in the water you wash
with, and that water just luke warm, will
keep the skin clear and soft. A little oat-
meal mixed with the water will whiten the
hands. Many people use glycerine on their
hands when they go to bed, wearing gloves
to keep the bedding clean; but glycerine
does not agree with every one. It makes
some skins harsh and red. These people
should rub their hands with dry oatmeal
and wear gloves in bed. The best prepara-
tion for the hands at night is white of an
egg, with a grain of alam dissolved in it.
Quacks have a fancy name for it,but all can
make it. They also make the Roman toilet
paste. It is merely the white of an egg,
barley flour and honey. They say it was
used by the Romans in olden times. At
any rate, it is a first rate thing; but it
is sticky and does not do the work any bet-
ter than oatmeal. The roughest and hard-
est hands can be made soft und white in the
space of a month by doctoring them a little
at bedtime; and all the tools you need are
a nail brush, a bottle of ammonia, a box of
powdered borax and a little fine white sand
to rub the stains off, or a cut ot lemon,
which will do even better, for the acid of
the lemon will clean anything.
Shoulders will be broad, epaulets and
deep fichus being used to obtain the effect.
In the Eton jackets—and no style will be
more popular in the spring—the jacket will
be cut to come out well across the chest and
back, often being padded or stiffened to
hold out the width properly. The revers
will be wide and many of the gowns will
have embroidery or applique trimming ex-
tending out across the tops of the sleeves,
all of which gives the effect of width to the
shoulders.
Sometimes a
The Origin of the Valentine.
Another Valentine day is at hand, and
the shop-windows contain the usual arrays
of gilded lace paper, nosegays, and spangles,
true lovers’ knots, and all the appropriate
folderos.
We glance contemptuously at the glitter-
ing trifles, and wonder how anyone can
value them, and then we recall our child-
hood days when the sight of a large, em-
bossed envelope in the hands of the post-
man used to give us a thrill of delight—
and the bigger the envelope, the deeper
the thrill.
It would seem, at first sight, that
there could be little or no connection be-
tween these frivolous-looking objects and a
venerable bishop of the early Christian
church, and yet an aunthentic writer tells
us that Bishop Valentine was so famous
for love and charity that the custom of
choosing valentines took his name.
History says that Valentine was a holy
and devoted pastor in the third century,
and that during the persecutions of Chris-
tians in Rome, ordered hy Claudius II., he
went about fearlessly among his suffering
flock, tenderly encouraging the timid to
preserve in faith, praying with the dying,
and burying the dead until his own turn
came.
He was kept a prisoner for some time,
and succeeded in converting many pagans,
but on the 14th of February, A. D. 270, he
was cruelly beaten with clubs, then be-
headed, and his body cast into the Tiber.
The Christians celebrated the anniver-
saries of their beloved pastor’s martyrdom,
and about a century after, Pope Julius I,
caused his canonization, and built a church
to his memory.
Pagan Rome had long held the latter
half of February (when the birds began to
mate) sacred to their goddess Juno, as the
patroness of marriages and births, and on
the eve of the festival the young people
used to assemble for the ceremony of
‘drawing names.’”’ Strips of paper, each
bearing the name of a young man were
mixed together, and each young woman
would draw out a name and thus decide
who should be her partner in the dancing
in the merry-making of the festival.
Among the pagans these festivities in hon-
or of Juna Februata were generally made
the excuse for the wildest revelry and dis-
order.
The Christians called the paper billets
valentines, because the names were drawn
on the 14th of February, the day of the
gentle Valentine’s death, and this is gener-
ally supposed to be the origin of the cus-
tom of sending illuminated love-letters,
which has come down fo our day. The
supposition seems a natural one, and it is
much more reasonable than the assertion
made recently that the association of the
poetic custom with the saint was merely
accidental. The practice existed in Eng-
land and Scotland in very early days, and
prevailed among young people of all
classes, from the highest to the lowest.
Chaucer mentions it, and it must have be-
gun long before his day.
It is also referred to by Shakespeare and
many other poets.
Strange to say, we have no proof of the
custom ever being universal in France, al-
though the first written valentine on record
was the work of a Frenchman, the gallant
young Charles, Duke of Orleans, who was
taken prisoner at the battle of Agincourt in
1415 beguiled the tedium of his captivity by
composing a poem which he sent to his
lady-love on Valentine’s Day.
In the time of Charles II. it was the cus-
tom in England for young people to draw
each other’s names and exchange presents
on Valentine's Day.
Walter Scott writes about this in his
“Fair Maid of Perth.”
It would be hard to say just how the
decorated ‘‘valentine’’ of our day originat-
ed; but we are eye-witnesses to the fact
that the old custom has not entirely died
out.—Isabel Smithson in Everybody's Maga-
zine.
