assistant engineer of the jetdcs, dated the
18th. stating that but 1000 cubic yards
would have to DO secured before reach
ing the required depth Of "a feet, 20O feet
wide, to obtain The next payment. These
statements give an emphatic denial TO
the rumors which for few days have
been actively circulated among members
of congress. that the pass was iilling up.
Parties who are unfriendly to Capt. Eads
have been writing to Ellis and other
members OF the house very damaging
stories regarding the jctties, and these
letters have been used to iniure the plan
OF improving the river by commission.
THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
The river and harbor bill is not yet
completed, but there are indications OF
what will be its character. The bill will
aggregate agout 81, 900 900. The appro-
priations for the Mississippi river have
not vet been fixed, but the committee is
contemplating, and with some favor, the
proposition Of the st. Paul convention
delegates to give the full $4,000 asked
for the Mississippi river above st. Louis,
and allow the remainder of the request
for the lower river to 60 by default,
with the exception of about 40
per cent. ,Of the regular esti~
mates for local Improvements,
such as Cahokia shute. This is to be
done in Difference to the plan Of the Cocks
rell bill. Nothing has been decided re-
garding the Missouri river yet. MIR.
Franklin is going before the committee
and urge that 1t receive an adequate ap-
preparation. He is trying to have west
ern members unite and make a demand
for their rivers, which, II not granted.
the western men are to oppose the entire
bill. There is no doubt that any bill for
more than five millions will receive op.
position sufficient to send it back to the
committee, as was done at the first ses'
sion of the last congress.

TOMATO AND CABBAGE plANTs.-
Persons who live a distance from a
nursery wherewlth to supply their
wants in the way Of tomato and cab
bage plants, can readily raise both, as
well as early beet plants, with very
little trouble. The best plan is to do
it in a hot bed, which is within the
mesns Of every farmer to construct.
Nail common boards together to form
a box, say siX feet long by three wide,
the back elevated so as to form a
pretty sharp pitch, and t4e sides Or
ends made to conform 10 this. Dig s
shallow pit a little less than the frame
in dimension and ten inches deep
set the frame over. Fill IN with
some twelve to fifteen inches Of horse
manure, excluding the long straw,
and top off with from two ana half
inches OF rich garden soil made fine.
The top Of the bed should in some de-
gree slant with the frame. Over the
whole put a sash; any old window
sash will answer; or if made new, it
will last for dozen years. Into this
bed dibbIe the seed in rows six to
eight inches apart, and when the
plants are up a couple of inches thin
out, allowing an inch or an inch and a
half Of space between the plants in
the row. These can be again thinned
out if necessary, and it is better that
it should be with tomatoes and cab
bage. After they are an inch or two
high the plants should have air daily
for an hour or two at midday, by
raising up the sash couple Of in
ches. When the tomatoes get SO high
as to reach the glass raise the sash by
blocks at the corners. BY that time
there will be no danger from frost.

ACRlCULTUR Al.
MILKING 1SPA R.A q Us BEDS.

The quickest way to Obtain aspara-
gus is to purchase plants, because by
doing SO the beds are fit for cutting
Gre or two wears earlier then would
be the case were they started from
seeds. 10 commence with the begin
ming, however, obtain seed as early as
possible in the spring, and SOW in wide
drills, say five inches in width, and
fifteen inches apart, about as peas are
sown. Keep the soil mellow and the
weeds DESTROYED, and in the autumn,
if the soil is good, YOU sill have one
vear-old plants TO transplant. One
year-old plants are pretty small, and
many prefer to keep them in the seed
bed until two years of age. An ounce
Of seed is sufficient for a drill about
twenty-five feet in length. In ma
king q bed for the plants select
good, mellow soil, if possible, and
make it deep and rich. An asparagus
bed once made will keep in good con-
,!ition for half century, SO the work
should be we'll done. The bed must
be narrow, SO as to permit Of cutting
to the center without stepping Oh
them. Set the plants not less than
twelve inches apart in the clear,
spreading the roots out naturally, and
not crowding them into hole, and 80
deep that the crown or top Of the
plant will be about three inches below
the surface. In removing the weeds
have care not 10 injure the young
shoots, and it is best to do this by
hand as much as possible. Salt is a
good manure for asparagus, and may
be used with such freedom as to keep
the weeds pretty well sublued with
out further trouble. II srrong two,
year-old plants are set, little may
be cnt the second year. The part
used is the young shoots, which com
mence TO appear early in the spring,
and they should be cut when five or
six inches in height, md when the
head is close and firm. Take them
from little below the surface with q
sloping cut. 1t IS not best to continue
cutting late in the season unless the
shoots are very strong. After the
season is over, allow the tops to grow
and bear flowers and seeds. When
ripe, cut them close to the ground,
cover the beds with a few inches Of
manure, and upon this throw the
old lops. Early in the spring, re-
move the coarsest Of the manure with
a coarse rake or fork and the aspara-
gus bed is ready for It's spring work.
