FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS WelMHlecommitnlcationtfrom allpermnttohoart interested in matter properly belonging to thit department. growing Asparagus. Oue of the vegetables which every farm might have at very small trouble and cost, and yet which is one not often found in the farmer's garden 1b asparagus. It is at the , same time the most desirable. It is very rare to find a person who does not like it. It is probable that the reason it is not grown is an idea that it is a costly thing to start. There is gome reason for the pre valence of this idea. Almost all the works on gardening would indicate that a great deal of labor and trouble was necessary in ordor to start an asparagus bed properly. They say the earth must be dug two feet deep, that load on load of manure must be incorporated with the earth ; and possibly they will urge the importance of some rare and costly fertilizer as an essential ingredi ent in a proper asparagus bed. But all these things are unnecessary. Any rich garden soil is good for asparagus. It need be planted ouly as other things are planted. Some say set the roots a foot deep, but four Inches below the surface is plenty. It is not well to plant them too thick, or the sprouts will be small. Twen ty inches or two feet apart is a good dis tance. Plants one year old, or two if they au be bad, are the best. If one be at a distance from stores to get roots, seeds may be sowed and the beds made the next year. They can be sowed in rows like peas. An anparagua bed once ' made will last for years, with no trouble, but an annual manuring and forking over every year and one or two hoeings during summer to keep tho bed clear from weeds ; but, except on the score of neatness and cleanliness, this is scarcely necessary where an annual spring forking over is given. Almost all other crops have to be reset and otherwise cared for every year, while we are sure there is nothing which will give one so much pleasure and satisfaction as a good asparagus bed. Everlasting Fence Posts. " I discovered many years ago that wood could be made to last longer than iron in the ground, but thought the process was so simple and inexpensive that it was not worth while making any stir about it. I would as soon have poplar, basswood or quaking ash as any other kinds of timber for fence posts. I have taken out bass wood posts after having been set seven years that were as sound when taken up as when they wero first put in the ground. Time and weather seemed to have no effect on them. The posts can be prepared for less than two cents apiece. " For the benefit of others I will give the recipe : Take boiled linseed oil and stir it in pulverized charcoal to the consistency of a paint. Put a coat of this over the timber and there is not a niari that will live to see it rotten." Cor. Weitfrn Rural. To Muke Court-Plaster. Soak isinglass in a little warm water for twenty-four hours ; then evaporate nearly all the water by a gentle hoat, dissolve the rostdue in a little proof spirits of wine, and strain the whole through a piece of open linen. The strained mass should be a stiff jelly when cool. Now, extend a piece of silk on a wooden frame, and fix it tight with tacks and pack-thread. Melt the jelly, and apply it to the silk thinly and evenly with a hair brush. A second coating must bo applied when the first has dried. When both are dry, cover the whole. Bur face with two or three coatings of Balsam of Peru, applied in the same way. Plas ter thus made is very pliable, and never breaks. Farming in New-Zealand. In New-Zealand an important use Js found in the Scotch thistle, in farm econ omy. It spreads over the rough fem hills, takes full possession of the ground, is part ly eaten by domestic animals, and in about four years is exhausted and disappears, having in the mean time nursed and pro tected a growth of clover and grass, which springs up and take its place, the long tap toots of the thistle having opened and pul verized the soil and fitted it for the growth of the grasses ; so says a correspondent of the London Timet. How to Mend China. Take a very thick solution of cum in water, and stir into it plaster of Paris until the mixture becomes a vicious paste. Ap ply it with a brush to the fractured edges, and stick them together. The article can "not be broken in the same place. The whiteness of the cement renders It doubly valuable. Lamb Sauce. Boll a piece of buttor in bread crumbs, khred parely and shalots, aud boil It in a stock and white wine, equal quantities ; a few minutes are sufficient J squeeze In a little lemon or orange juice.
