GROWING ASPARAGUS.

London Garden says that the old plan of
growing asparagus in deeply prepared trenches
is all wrong; that as good asparagus as ever was
grown can be had by setting few plants here
and there along the edge of the walks in the gar
den, but not setting them nearer than four feet
apart. And that, singular it may appear, the
roots as shoots spring up in the dense sod, and
grow stouter than anywhere else. The best gar
deners in the United States now plant asparagus

DITCHING.

Farmers do not seem to appreciate the value OF
their swamp and meadow lands and they shrink
from the labor of digging long lines Of d ches
and removing large stumps; but by working at
il by odd jobs, the work may be done without
exhausting the farmers resources very much.
In draining low land there is most always value
enough in the muck dug ont of the bitches to
pay the labor of digging, provided the muck is
well dried and pulverized before using. This
being the case, the drainage OF meadow is
really no expense; the cost will be in the re-
mOval of the stumps, the leveling of the soil,
and seeding the land down to grass.

CUTTING TIMER IN AUGUST.

Experience has shown that the best time to
cut timber for posts rails stakes, is in August.
The bark will then come of readily, and the
wood becomes harder and endures longer than
II cut at any other season. Hickory never makes
a good post or stake, as it rOts rapidly in the
ground or on it, and if cut when the bark ad-
heres, will soon rot. or likely be cut to pieces,
before it can rot. by worms. But il in August,
very few il any trees, make more durable rail
for off the ground. The bark drops of, and the
wood becomes 50 hard that it "jingles' when
struck. while the worms do not attack it. Hick-
DRY rails, made from trees cut in August and
kept of the ground, will last for fifty years.
White oak makes durable rail or post, cut at
any season, but its durability is increased at
least fifty per cent. by cutting in August. PIN
oak is unfit for posts, or for rails either, on or
off the ground, when the tree has died. and is
entirely unfit for posts, and almost unfit for rails
il cut when the sap is not flow ing; but rails made
from pin oak tree, cut in August, viii last at
least twenty years of the ground. What is true
OF pin oak is true Of red elm. II cut in August
il is as durable hickory white oak, as long
as it is not set in or on the ground. White elm
is fit for frewoOd only, no matter at what time IL
is cut, and this Is true OF wild cherry also.
With but few exceptions the gain by cutting in
August Is sufficient to compensate for cutting at
that time. II is not necessary that the rails OF
posts be split out then. The trees may be fell
ed only, and the further work be put of until
cooler weather. But il is better to split the
trunks into rails or posts for later use a.
felled; the wood will then season rapidly, and
the highest point Of durability is attained.

about the "June rise" This year there
is not a whisper about the June rise.

that there was no such thing as a June

one, and that vas thirty-six years ago.

The Cotton Press Association ADJ
mitted to the Cotton Council by a
Large Vote---How the Organiza-
lions Voted.
The question of admitting the Cotton
Press Association as members of the
Cotton Council was taken up for con-
sideration at a meeting of the Cotton
Council last night. The matter was
discussed at considerable length, there
being some opposition to admitting the
Association. Finally a vote was
reached. resulting in Al ayes, 10 noes
and 2 blanks. So the Association was
admitted.
The vote was distributed as follows:
Screwmen No. Five noes, l
blank.
Cotton Yardman No. Five noes.
w igners and Neutrality-suspicious.
yeas, l no.
Cotton Classers-Six noes.
'Longshoremen (colored)-Six yeas.
Teamsters and Loaders-Six yeas.
Stevedores-Four yeas, l blank.
This matter has been pending for
some time, and the objects of the asso.
citation in joining the Council has been
a current query in business circles.
Col. Denis. pres lent of the Cotton
Press Association, was visited by d re-
porter of the States and asked as to the
reason Of the move IN The part of the
association. Col. Denis sal | the mat.
ter was d, c,ded so late last night the
association had not been able to hold IA
conference relative to the question.
Consequently he had nothing to say at
present, but within sfew days the as
ISOLATION would be able to furnish the
press with what yer information it
uight have for public tion.
s, VerJ efforts were made to find out
on the outside as to the probable
resu IS of this move on the part
of the ass, cation AS to the OBJ
Jet it was "a prevailing matter of
doubt, unless it was to strengthen
the association. This belief grew from
the report that the association would
disband at the expiration of its charter
in September.
Others said the intent was to form a
close compact with the laboring Or
CARNATIONS and thereby control the
COMPRISING business of the city. This
Is done nov to such an ext INT that
there is practically nc opposition.
But under the existing state of affairs
presses can be run outside of the asso.
citation. The ultimate clincher would
be to SO control the business in this
port unless it is a member of the asso-
citation New Orleans States.
The above will prove very touching,
and mighty interesting reading to cot
ton producers. 1t shows that the cot
ton combination in New Orleans,
which begins on cotton by the tine it
touches New Orleans and whacks
away at it until 1t is aboard ship, is
growing stronger instead of relaxing
is Shylock grip. The above article
gives the names of some of the unions
that slice cotton yet at the rate that
they sliced it when it sold for a hun.

charges of these unions are useless
and all of them are exhorbitant, but the
evil has grown SO that the most power.

PARTY WORK.

The Executive Committee of this,
tae Third Congressional District. is
called to meet ia Greenville on Mon.
day, June 18th. With the L., N. o. &
T. r. R. running directly through the
District it is not at all dificUlt for the
members to reach the place of meeting
which is a central point. We trust
that all the members will be present
for it is essential that the party keep
up good discipline, and make Wig
orous and industrious preparations
to hold the District lwrested from the
opposition by a united struggle under
the leadership of Gen. Catcbings. We
may safely rely upon it, that efforts
will be made to defeat the Democratic
nominee, whoever he may be.
We can elect our nominee almost
certainly with a thoroughly disciplined
and we'll handled party, but il
Iswe are negligent Of party work
we invite stronger opposition
and risk the loss of the District, which
we carried last time by so large a ma.
jority. We urge every member of the
committee to be present, and to do his
best in planning for the success of the
party in the Fall. The interests Of
the Valley a be best served by ar
influential Democrat, and the party
should unite as one man to continue in
Office such a Representative.
