The battle for Roadmaster district No.

we find that Messrs. A. G. Croker and
Houston Latham each received 16 votes,
while the other three candidates received
respectively 6,9 and - votes. As | have
said before, they are all good men, and since
there was 40 election we presume the court
will have power to appoint man to fill the
office.

Having business with our worthy school
commissioner, Prof. A. p. Vance, a trip was
made to lronton on 2Sth ultimo, AS our
visit to the Professors school was of but a
few minutes duration, we cannot say much
on that subject. However, enough was
seen to convince US that he is doing an ex-
cellent work. We have in our possession
fourteen certificates, three of which are of
the first grade; and we have never been ex-
amined by man who is more thorough in
the common branches than Prof. Vance,
Moreover, he will not grant certificate
to any one who has not well-earned aver

mitted. Those teachers, who have not the
advantage of course in college, would do
well to attend the normal, at Ironton, in
May.

from ourselves; nor, per contra, do many of
US care to know ourselves as others know

Spring is with Us and summer will be on
US almost ere we know 1t; at least, certain
signs point that way, chief among which is
the fact that visitors to the quarries and
works have begun to put in an appearance,
while, also keeping pace with the season,
the Granitevile folks are organizing them
selves into all sorts of pleasure parties, the
greater number, so far, seeming to favor

fishing in a certain watery part of this cOun-

This may account for the fine fish brought

And saw within the moonlight of his room,

And to the presence in the room he SAID,
"What writest tbou" The vision raised its

And sweetly smiling, this reply it made,

"And is mine one?" said Add 'em. "Nay
not so,"
Replied the angel. Add 'em spoke more low
And said, 81 pray the write, and do not fail

Make an Asparagus Bed.

That is, if you have not one already, says
the RuraG Home, every owner Of garden
should have bed large enough to afford a
liberal supply of this early, palatable and
wholesome vegetable. 1t is the earliest
vegetable that can be grown in this climate
entirely in the open air. and. if properly
cooked and served. most people are fond of
it. Old gardeners and writers on garden
ing made the directions for starting bed
go difficult of execution that most farmers,
who have but little time to devote TO the
garden, were frightened out Of an attempt
to cultivate it.
The ordinary directions for the prepare
ton of garden soil for vegetables is appli-
cable to. asparagus, namely-make the soil
deep. fine and rich. It's perhaps advisable
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-05-26

to spade up the asparagus bed rather deeper
than would be necessary for most other
vegetables. as the crown Of the roots should
be planted about four inches beneath the
surface and the roots will penetrate to a
great depth in search of appropriate food
and moisture. If you follow the old direc-
lions and trench plat for the asparagus,
throwing out from eight to twelve inches of
the surface soil and then breaking up the
subsoil spade in depth. the soil will be deep
enough.
As you turn the surface soil carefully
break up all Jumps with the back of the
spade. A plat equal to a rod square will
afford liberal supply for an ordinary
family when it gets well started. 1t is well
to dig in good dressing of fine stable
manure with the surface soil, but it is not
essential, for you can topdress the surface
every autumn, if you wish.
After breaking up the earth for bed
make the surface fine with the steel garden
rake. Then dig drills about six inches in
depth, lengthwise of the bed, about three
feet apart. Then plant good, strong one
year old plants eighteen inches apart in the
the rows, placing their budded crowns,
whence the young stalks start. about four
inches below the surface level, spreading
the roots out in the trench. Now cover the
crowns two inches and leave the remainder
OF the trenches untitled until later. The
soil around the young plants will warm up
much quicker and the shoots start sooner
than if the trench should be filled to the
AeA ka eka IIrrn
drawn around them until the trench is
filed. Some would plant the roots closer
than three feet by eighteen inches, but an
asparagus bed may stand half century,
and it will in few years become a mass
OF roots if planted at the distances named.
For the first two years you want to keep
the tops growing until they attain full
growth, but if seeds form cut them off, as
they unnecessarily exhaust the soil. Before
the ground freezes for winter cut down the
tops, rake them off and cover the surface
with rich stable manure, which may be dug
in lightly in the spring. Sometimes in the
| second year, when occasional stalks start of
| good size for cooking, we have used them,
| but generally we do not expect much for
| the table until the third year. Then the
larger sprouts may be cut freely when from
four to eight inches high. We cut just be-
low the surface so that all may be tender,
and we liked them cooked and served with
cream and butter the same as green peas.
The asparagus bed may be made just as
early as the ground will do to work. THE
fall is the time to start bed in this lati-
tude.]

THE LILY WINS THE RACE.
A HundredYard Squirt After Mid
night Supper.


London Special TO the Neto York World.
LONDON, May 20.-Society is agast at the
latest diversions of Mrs. Langtry. One
night last week supper was given at the
st. James theater, at which were present
Lord Lurgan and several guardsmen, with
other men-about-town. Lively scen mes
took place, and at 8 O'Clock in the morning
it was proposed to run races around st.
James square. nearby, to the establishment
of the well-tipped policemen, who grinned
at the swells in evening dress, but with
their coats off, racing around the inclosure,
with Mrs. Langtry and a couple of women,
her boon companions. wrapped in fur coats,
looking on and shrieking with laughter.
Charles Sugden, the actor, ran a sack
race with Ernest Lawford of the Guards,
and they fell and rolled over each other in
the mud. The gasman of the st. James
theater then arranged hurdles for a race of
a hundred yards between Mrs. Langtry and
Bob Boucher, a fashionable youth, the lat
ter allowing the Lily twenty yards start,
but he lost by two feet. After the race the
party returned to the theater, where Mrs.
Langtry distributed the prizes, consisting of
handkerchiefs, flowers, slippers and stock
ipgs. The proceedings terminated at 6
o'clock in the morning.

oats. A Bermuda sward affords fine
range for the young turkeys.
Except for little while in the warm
part of the spring days the mother turkeys
are not allowed out Of the cooys until the
young ones are 10 5 weeks old. Then
they have become strong enough to be al
lowed limited roam where the grass is,
not too wet and no appearance of rain.
The feeding places should be kept very
clean.
When coop is moved the soiled places
should be sprinkled over with land plaster,
and enough quicklime used from time to
time to insure fresh and healthy condi-
ton of the yards. The soil of turkey
yard is very rapidly enriched by the drop
pings, and these should be plowed up now
and then and sowed to grain. The value of
the food fed to turkeys is almost fully re
stored in the manure if utilized in the man
ner suggested.
Mrs. Martels turkeys, as rule, hatch out
about 80 per cent. Of the eggs set. and her
loss of young turkeys from all causes rarely
amounts to 20 per cent. the most unfavora-
BILE seasons. Favorable seasons the loss is
not greater than s to 10 per cent. As with
human kind some turkey hens are much
better mothers than others, and seem to
know how to take care of their broods with
perfect instinct. Others seem to be pos
sessed of no instinct at all, and must be
watched closely. Such as these should not
be kept over another season. This season
many of Mrs. Marters hens had weaned
their first broods, and had taken another
sitting early in May. Usually turkeys do
not begin to lay their first clutch until the
middle of March, but this has been very
unusual year in every respect.
