asparagus:
"On the streets of any Japanese city
you will find for sale an attractive

the important vegetables of the world
It is easy to grow; it does not require
j replanting oftener than once in nine or
ten years; it can be cropped in the au
tumn or In the spring, and it yields
| large crops of shoots, which are often
two feet long and an inch or more in
diameter at the base These brilliant
white shoots are edible to their very
bases without the least objectionable
fiber and not in this respect like aspar
agus, of which only the tips are fit to
en t."
"You cannot Introduce a new vegeta-
1 ble; it is Impossible," said a botanical
2 authority to Mr. Falrcbild. Mr. Fair
child admits that the introduction of a
[ new vegetable is a long undertaking,
j extending perhaps over the period of n
| generation, but it should not be left
out of account, as the means at our (lis
| posal today are immeasurably more
powerful than they were even two dee
' ades ago The advent of the great ho
tela and the sympathetic interest of
the great magazines are two elements
I which today make possible what yen
! terday would have been impossible.
Michigan Electrio Llnaa Aid d In Dis-
posing of Fruit.
The advantage of handling big crops
of fruit by the trolley lines was Illus-
trated In the lower peninsula of Mich-
igan in 1911 to an extent never before
realized. Had It not been for the
electric lines of two of the states
handling this class of traffic the dis-
posal of the apple, peach, pear and
other crops would have met with loss.
Only a couple of years ago there
was but one line of electric railway
hauling fruit out of Berrien county
orchards to the steamship docks at
Itenton Harbor Now there are about
half a dozen. Some of the lines rush
trains of fruit from points west of
Elkhart. I ml., to the steamboat docks
at Benton Harbor. These points are
over 100 miles from Chicago, the great-
est market of the entire region Con-
signments of fruit leave the orchards
late in the afternoon and are loaded
into express cars and Hat cars with
crated ends and sides. Trains are run
on fast time and stop only to pick up
fruit, and from certain points they do
not stop for any purpose. At Benton
Ilorhor the fruit packages are loaded
on grent side wheel steamers and car-
ried through the cooling atmosphere
of I.ake Michigan, reaching Chicago
about 4 a. m. From the Chicago docks
the big supply Intended for consump-
tion In a city of over 2,000,000 people
is distributed early In the forenoon.
But Chicago does not begin to take
all of the fruit produced by the great
orchards of two states. Millions of
packages are shipped olT over most of
I he twenty-five different railroads ra-
diating from the city. They are haul-
ed from the docks to the depots and
there are given to the express compa-
nies operating on the railroads. It Is
at this point that tho advantage of
shipping across the lake comes in.
Had most of these shipments been sent
by rail the cars could not have been
given to the belt line In time to con-
nect with tho outgoing trains in the
morning, and thus serious damage to
fast ripening fruit might have been
done. The steamboat company could
not have got the products of distant
orchards had it not been for the rapid
electric lines, so that It Is only by a
combination of the work of three dif
ferent means of transportation that It
has been possible to market phenome-
nally big crops of fruit. The rate of
the entire electric and lake haul Is not
more than the cost of one direct ship-
ment by rail to the same point, and In
some instances it is Ichb.
Another Advantage of shipping fruit
by electric lines Is that refrigeration
Is unnecessary.—Country Gentleman.
Good Rivets From Old Materials.
Every farmer hus n lot of old horse
nnlls In the old horseshoes. Take a
piece of a broken
tooth from a
spring tooth bar
row, heat It and
punch a hole
through it Just
largo enough to
admit the horse
nail. When this
liecomes cold you
can insert a nail
and beat It down
to a very nice
head and do it
cold too. If you
want a nice round
eil head on the riv-
et the head of the
aall can be rounded up a little before
It is hammered down. Take scraps of
tho modern steel roofing, cut them In
small squares and

LOOK TO THE FUTURE.
Provide for humus in the soil
by planting green crops to be
turned under to improve the fer-
tility of the soil for future crops.
This is one of the reasons that
should appeal to you for rota-
tion of crops.
