that editor met. One day Lewis Cav.
lord Clark was seated in his library,
hard at work, when a stranger opened
the door and entered unannOunced. He
was a large man, whose thick boots
and modest raiment were covered with
country dust. '.Hellpw. Clark. he

All the time the stranger was pro-

Asparagus.

This is one of the earliest vegetables,
and in the early spring is just what the
human system needs, beng diuretic,
slightly laxative, and producing healthy
action. Many people do not raise it, or
would not eat it if they did. But they
can not claim that they are too old
fashioned 10 take up with any such new
articles of diet. 1t is among the oldest
of vegetable diets. Cato, who wrote two
centuries before the Christian era, and
Callumelius one century afterward,
speak of it as valuable esculent for the
table. And history records the fact
that Augustus Cesar was particularly
fond OF it, and gave positive orders for
his subjects to cultivate it more exten.
sively. 1t is one of the earliest raised
and most certain crops. To SOW the

blowing, pulverize fine aud scrtilize
freely with well rotted manure. II
used to be the practice to dig down and
lay stone or brick foundation. to keer
the top roots from running down into
unproductive soil. But tn s has been
abandoned. Pulverize freely fifteen on
eighteen inches deep, mixing richly
with manure. When making . perma.
nent bed use one or two year old roots,
and plant four inches deep fifteen inches
apart each way. Then keep clean OF
weeds. Salt has been recommended as
a good fertilizer for asparagus. but this
is partially a mistaken idea. And vet
il is very useful to SOW salt freely ON the
bed. as it effectually keeps down the
weeds, and. rs asparagus is q maratimt
plant, the salt does not in,ure it. In
the fall clean of the old stalks and

wasteful Production OF Wheat.

The fall of Is cents per bushel in
wheat from $1.l0 when the surplus
was the largest ever known, to 90
cents with product less by $1,000, OOO
bushels-is fact that should give
wheat-growers pause. 1t teaches that
America does not make the price OF
wheat A large crop in 1885. as in
some prior years, commanded a high
price, while reduced production is met
by the additional disaster of low
prices.
Dakota has been working not so
much for development of her agricult-
ure as in the interest of low wages and
industrial supremacy of Great Britain.
That Nation promotes railroad build
ing and irrigation works in India. to
secure a competitor with Russia and
the United States, insure an unfailing
supply of cheap bread, and turn to az.
vantage the resources of our western
prairies. We build our own railroads,
and run a reckless race of competition
with the ryots of India, the fellahs OF
Egypt and all the serf-labor of tie
world, for the boasted privilege Ct de.
flying rotation, reducing the rate OF
yield, and showing that we can carry
wheat 5000 miles to market and &C.
cept lower prices than any other Ma
ton.
And we do this while committing the
absurdity Of saying that we can not
compete with France and Germany in
the production of sugar-beets, which
would introduce rotation into Minnesota
and Dakota, give variety in cropping,
establish ca,tle-Iceding and provide fer.
tilization, and double the average yield
of wheat. And we shall need this year
more than every dollar of the wheat and
flour exports to buy foreign sugar, and
will soon need the proceeds of pork
products in addition. This sugar incu-
bus is to-day more than twice the bur-
den of the National debt, and is incrcas-
ing. With one sugar-beet factory in
California, which is this season turning
out about ], 10000 pounds of sugar

why there should not be thousand.
