Manuring Asparagus Beds.

change than in the practice OF manur-
ing. Formerly it was thought neces-
sary to place large quantities of ma
nure in the bottom of the deep
trenches in which the young plants
were set out Sin order that sufficient
fertility might be present for several
trenches in which the yonug plants
were once planted there would be no
further opportunity to apply the ma
nure in such an advantageous place."
it was also considered necessary to
use much manure every autumn to
bank the bedsin orderthat the crowns
should not be injured by the
winters frost. These applications,
especially that given prior to planting
the young crowns, made the outlay so
great, and that for so many years be-
fore any return would be received
from the bed, that only small plant
ings were possible to those who were
without considerable capital.
Although asparagus is still heavily
MANFRED, the amount now used is
much less than was formerly sup
posed to be necessary, only about
double the quantity ordinarily used
upon root crops, such as potatoes,
beets, etc.
1t is not good practice to put ma
Io4 Of i,o nhoC or
burrows when setting out the crowns,
because it is demonstrated to be rath-
er waste of manure than otherwise,
and besides the roots of asparagus
thrive better when resting upon a
more compact soil; nor is it necessary
that the soil should contain great
amounts of humus or be in an eX-
tremely fertile condition when the
plants are first put out, since by the
present system of top dressing mod
erately fertile soil soon becomes ex-
ceedingly rich and equal to the de-
mands which the plants make upon it.
Considerable improvement pro-
duced in the mechanical condition Of
the soil by the use of stable manure
upon beds. By the addition of humus,
porous sandy soil is made somewhat
more binding, and itsabilityto take up
and retain moisture thereby increas-
ed; while, on the other hand, cold heavy
soils are made warmer and more por-
Gus. Lierke, in his work on Orchard
and Garden Culture, says: ION raw
ground it is necessary during the first
years to give heavy applications
of stable manure, but later, when
there is an amelioratiOn in the cOndi-
ton, this may be omitted.'' In anoth
er place he remarks: eff one has but
a limited amount of manure, it is best
to properly manure only a portion of
the field each year, and arrange SO
that each portion may be SO treated
every two or three years.
All organic manures are suitaD4e

Dried Corn Fodder VS.. Silage.

Bulletin 1872 of the New Jersey Ex-
pertinent Station contains a detailed
account of a carefully conducted ex-
pertinent carried on to determine
whether or not it is more profitable
to make fodder corn into silage than
to dry cure it in the field.
The corn yielded 1925 tons of green
forage, or Al tons of cured forage per
acre. That of which silage was made
was cut into three-quarter inch
lengths and put in the silo. The
other was shocked in the field and
hauled to the barn in October and cut
as needed to feed, into the same
lengths as the silage. 1t was found
that it cost 6.3 per cent. more to pre-
pare the silage for feeding than it did
the field cured fodder. This differ
ence was mainly on account of the ex-
ira cost of hauling the green fodder.
The experiment was made with mich
COWS. The grain ration fed with each
was a good and ample one and the
same in both cases. They were fed

gree of general attention which it de-
serves. In the case of asparagus, an
addition of potash in the form of mu-
riate or sulphate of potash, or of
phosphoric acid in the form of fine
ground South Carolina or Florida soft
phosphate, ETC., will in many instan-
ces not only improve their general fit
ness as complete manure, but quite
frequently permit a material reduc-
ton in the amount of barnyard
manure ordinarily considered suffi-
cient to secure satisfactory results.
An average of several analyses of
barnyard manure:
Pounds
Constituents Per cent. Per ton
Moisture. :. :. :. $500 1,34O.0
NIUIOSoH. .0G IU.4
Potassium oxide. -. SO l1.2
Phosphoric acid. :. . -. SO -
The average barnyard manure con-
tains larger percentage of nitrogen
as compared with it's potash and
phosphoric acid, than is generally con-
sidered economical. An addition Of
from thirty to forty pounds of mu
riate of potash and 100 pounds of fine
ground natural phosphates (soft Flor
ida orSouth Carolina foats) per ton of
barnyard manure would greatly in
crease it's value as an efficient and
economical fertilizer.
Judging by the amount used and by
the expressed preference Of growers,
stable manure free from straw or
other long bedding is the most desira-
BILE for use upon beds. Besides stable
manure farmyard, sheep, hogpen and
henhouse manure, and night soil are
also available when used in compost;
and if the compost has been lying
long enough to have caused the ma
terials to be reduced to a uniform,
well mixed mass t--ere is nothing bet
ter for use at the time of transplant
ing to cover the young plants.
In addition to these farm manures,
chemical or commercial fertilizers are
also available and are used alone, in
connection with stable manure, and
in alienation with the same. Of late
years these are being more and more
used by growers who are without a
large number of farm animals and so
far removed from large cities that
they find stable manure too expensive,
especially as the only advantage of
stable manure over these is the humus
it adds to the soil and it's beneficial
effect upon the mechanical condition
of the soil, as already explained

A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with a very severe cold that
caused him to be in most miserable
condition. 1t was ndoubtedly very
bad case of la grippe and recognizing
it as dangerous he took immediate
steps to bring about a speedy cure.
From the advertisement of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and the many
GOOD recommendation included there
in. we concluded to make first trial
of the medicine. To say that it was
satisfactory in it's results, is putting it
very mildly, indeed. 1t acted like
magic and the result was a speedy and
permanent cure. We have no hesit-
ancy in recommending this excellent

ALL the present congressman except
possibly Eddy in the Seventh district,
will probably be candidates for re-
election. 1t is reported that Eddy is
not particularly enamored with con-
gressional life, and it will require
some pressure to induce him to 90
back. The gubernatorial chair would
probably suit Eddy better than con-
gresham, but as he is about the only
man who can be elected to congress in
the Seventh district, it is more than
likely he will be induced to forego his
gubernatorial ambition until the po-
litical situation up there becomes
clearer Minnesota has a good con-
gressional delegation. and it should
net be changed. Elk River Star.
The HERALD is justified in saying
that Mr.. Eddy is in no sense a candi-
date for governor, and prefers the
office of congressman to that of chief
executive of the state. He need not
be accounted as one of the remote
probabilities as an active candidate.
While in an ''off year, his reelection
is not by any means assured, he GER
tainly can carry his district if any
man in it can. He is too good con-
gresham to become an experimental
governor although the HERALD does
not question that he would make an
equally good record in that office.

PRISON CRUELTEEs.

The ST. Paul Globe is from day to
day charging Deputy Warden Lemon
of the state prison at Saltwater with
repeated acts of cruelty, extending
over several years. The charges are
specific and made with such circum-
stantiality as indicates either accu-
rate knowledge. or colossal mendacity.
In proof, affidavits and unsworn stat
ments of ex-convicts, discharged en-
ployes and former. guards who have
voluntarily left the employ of the
prison, are printed.
The Globe is a reputable newspaper
of general circulation, and is dissem-
mating these charges broadcast with
in and without the state, to the detri-
ment of the fair name of Minnesota in
general and it's prison management in
particular. 1t is charged by the de-
tenders and apologizers of the prison
officials that the Globe is actuated by
malice of the political type. This the
Globe, of course, denies
No matter what the motives which
actuate the Globe, whether of the high
est or lowest, it's charges are of a very
serious nature, and are either with or
without foundation. If they be true
the public is not in the least concerned
with the motive, but altogether with
the conduct of..the officials. If false,
satisfying proof that they are such
will. vindicate these officials and con-
vict the Globe of one of the most con-
temptible of crimes attempted assas-
sination of the character of a public
official.
But one course presents itsef-a
thorough, impartial, searching, inves-
tigation, without fear or favor. 1t
must be made by men not identified
with the management of prison affairs
with no desire to convict and no dis
position to shield any one. The wild
est latitude should be given this COM
mission, and convicts, guards, en-
ployes-whoever can throw any light
upon the truthfulness or falsity of
these grave charges should be exam
ined searchingly, under conditions
which would not subject them to future
ill-treatment or annoyance, whatever
be their testimony. Such an eXamina-
tion is possible, and the Governor
of the state owes it alike to the con-
victs, the officials and all the people
of Minnesot to take immediate action.
Somebody is guilty of heinous
crime-either the accused Or the &C
cusers, and the people want to know
which.

beet Sugar.

On Saturday evening Henry Keller
returned from Minneapolis, and with
him were F. Vessel and a gentleman
named Heintz, both of New York.
| They came west to investigate the
beet sugar industry. with direct refer.
ence to investment by themselves and
friends in a factory at some suit
able point in this state. They spent
Sunday in this city, the guests of Mr..
Keller and of Albert Dahlem-Mr.
Vessel being brother-in-law of the
latter, and has been quite frequent
visitor here. On Sunday evening
Messrs. Vessel, Heintz and Keller left
for Devils Lake, N. D., for couple
of days duck shooting. The party
passed eastward through the city on
the Wednesday mornings coast train.
They go direct to Topeka, Kas., there
to inspect a beet sugar factory and
thence to Hastings, Neb. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Keller shipped a
car load of beets, raised by him in
this city, to the Hastings factory, and
arrangements have been made to have
these gentlemen present when these
identical beets are put through the
sugar-making process. Every facility
will be afforded them for the fullest
investigation, both into the methods
employed and the value of the Mime
sofa product. The visitors are both
gentlemen of means, and with their
friends, have sufficient capital at their
disposal to engage in the sugar indus
try on a large scale. After visiting
Hastings the two gentlemen will return
to New York and Mr.. Keller is expect
ed home-sometime next week.
