Among the annual Almanacs
which are put into print at this sea-

calls its principal rival "book OF

though emanating from the office of
the most aggressive Republican

TAXES ADVANTAGE OF THE RFPU8L
CANS.

Congressman Springer did the Re
publIcans mean trick in congress
on last Thursday. He said in reply
to Republican on the tariff that
under a low tariff that this country
would buy more goods from abroad
than it would sell. When asked by
Republican if that would not put
the balance Of trade against us, he
answered that if it did, it would not
hurt us, but that we would prosper
under it. When the Republican
took him to task for this statement,
he said that England had the balance
of trade against her nearly every
year but that she was getting richer
while we were getting poorer. Now
this answer is what we call taking a
mean advantage Of the Republican,
for the latter sat down dumb and
could not say word. The Republi-
can could have explained that Eng
land vas getting richer because she
had gotten all the other countries in
debt to her, then had gotten these
same countries to pass laws making
their own debts harder to pay. That
is she had gotten the United States
and other couL tries to contract their
currency and come to a single gold
standard and pay their debts in
gold. This is what is draining
America and it is what is making
the England goldbugs rich. $780,
900, 900 are paid to England every
year for interest. This is paid III
gold and gold is getting dearer. But
the Republicans dare not make this
explanation for they and the Demo
Gratis are guilty Of the same crime.
But Mr.. Springer shrewdly puts it
all on the tariff and the Republicans
must bear it and dare not give the
trup exclamation

Culture of Asparagus.

There is no one matter in gardening
II which an amateur more commonly
fails than in setting an asparagus bed,
unless it be in his attempts to grow
muShrOOms-while both are perfectly
easy, when done properly. While an
asparagus root in the dormant condition
can hardly be killed by cold, wet or
drought. my experience is that there is
no plant gotten from nurseries that is
more commonly injured in transporta-
ton by careless packing. When once
the roots are heated in a close package,
they are worthless for planting. / once

asparagus roots are to be bought from
a nursery, always buy from some one
who has a reputation to sustain for
careful packing, and get them as close

feet roots are often lost by inexperi.
enced people in planting. They have

Copperas will have but little effect in

the place of this | would sug rest the
use of salt and lime in the proportion
of one bushel of salt dissolved in small
quantity of water added to six bushela
of lime to Stake it. After the lime j.
slaked in this way, one bushel of slal1ed
lime can be used with good effect to
decompose twenty bushels of rough
compost material. Of course smaller
quantities can be taken.
Commercial saltpetre contains only nj
trogen and no phosphoric acid or potash,
hence it is an incomplete application.
To give its best effect it should he added
to acid phosphate and kainit. The use
of the complete fertilizer would be
preferable to the saltpetre for general
application. For potatoes and vegeta-
bles it can well be added to the usual
application of fertilizer.
