AGRIOULTUR11 Evmnt one who has grown aspara gus either for home use or for market must have been more or less annoyod by finding a portion of the shoots curl Ing over upon one side and making very little growth, and that little hard and woody, and utterly worthless for culinary nurposes. We have heard the question asked repeatedly, what makes the shoots curl? but very few have been able or willing to answer. The tubject Ia oftoe been brought up in agricultural conventions, without brin ging out much information that has proved satisfactory to the Inexperl enced. Now, from our own experience and observation, as well as from con versing with a low of the most success. -ul growers of this vegetable, we are led to conclude that orooked and curl. ed asparagus shoots are alwayq ro duced in consequence of some injury to the shoot while It Is pushing up [ through the soil. It may be caused by raking the bed, or by digging it over with forks, as ti often practiced In the spring of the yoar. And it may be .done by carelessness while cutting the e shoots. The .least cut, braise or scratch 4 made.up on the side of a shoot stops growth on that'side. iThere Is an effort to heal the wound, but so far as the value of the shoot is concerned, it is always a failure. If any One doubts the truth, of this statement, he can easily satisfy himselt' by simply caus Ing an Injury to a growing shoot be fore It gets above tie surface. Much care should be used both In digging and raking over asparagus beds in spring, and also when cutting for the table. There Is nothing coming from the gar den in May that is a greater luxury to those who like It, thn asparagus, and It 1 wt11 to know how beet to handle It. To PREVENT SERP ETr o OvRin StoneR WALLS.-A great many men who have farm excellently adapted for keeping sheei, are deterred p rom doing so o account of their far being en ced with stone walls, and sheep will toon learn to iet over any ordinary stone fethge. The cheapest and at the sate tine the oteffetual deyice for preventing this ay one gotten up by a neighbor of tmog. It consists in setting posts agvnst the wall, boring t hole througi those about 1t inches above the op Of the Wall and running a No. 11 wire throigh the hole. This shold be stretched very tight. If the first ia well fasteed, this oay be done with a crowbaroror a long way, using the bar for a levea. Tthe posts need not to be neater to cach Other tlyan four to six rOde, I0 the top Of the wall Is straight; If It is not., they should be somewhat nearer. Thi s lie had ound to be per etly Satisictmory so much so that e neigbr's big dog tried to got over I to the kheep unce or twice and went away perlectly disgusted.

S S To AU Our Friendi. Having had numberless inquiries for advertislng cards from ladies in all parts of the country who are Interest ed in the prevailing fashion of making "Card Collections," we arb having printed for them a set of seven beauti lul cards each in six colors and on a gold -background, in the very highest degree of art, iII u trating Shakspeare's "Seven Age& otMan," We have spared no expense in these cards-they are simply little art gems. Our only aim has been to publisii the finest cards yet Shown. Applications tor them have come in so rapidly that nearly the whole edition is engaged before the receipt by us of the cards from the artist. We have therefore been obliged to adopt the.following plan for the dis tribution of the remainder: No more I of the gilt Shakspoare cards, seven in the series, will be s3nt excepting upon the receipt of a statement from a grocer that the person applying for the vards I has bought of 1im on that day at least seven bars of Dobbins' Electrie Soap, 4 with price paid for same. All apply ing in this manner toill rec-ive the itili set of seven cards gratis by mail. This will instfre us that our frl'ands and pa trons get their share of these beautitul designs, although it in no nanner re pays us for the cost of the cards, Your grocer has the soap or wilt get it, a,d tle purchase by you of seven bars o it at one time will secure for you grais4 seven really beautiful cards. The soap improves with age, and Is an article of necessity in your house every week. Therefore you are not asked to buy a useless article, but one that you must have any way. 1'lease send us your application at once, and tell your lady friends making "Card Collections," to do the same. (rocers do not have the cards to deliver. Buy the souap o them, send uas their bill, and WO Will mail you the cards free. Yours respeotfully, I. L.
