A North Hatfield (Mass.) farmer

he harvested 9,000 bushels of ears Of
corn from 10 acres aside from his nine

pounds muriate of potash and 40 pounds

New Points About Asparaxus.

Two new points in asparagus culture
are brought forward by contributor to
The National Stockman and Farmer.
The points are to remove from new beds
all female or seed bearing roots as soon
as the incipient berries appear and to
cut in old beds all female or seed bearing
stalks before the seeds mature. These
troublesome shoots grow largely, posi-
bly, not entirely. from seeds dropped
from the pretty but misohievous little
red balls with which the foliage is dec-
GRATED and will in great measure dis
appear i no seed is allowed to ripen.

IDA Or 81. LAMBERT.

It is we'll to compare old records with
new ones continually.
The first picture shows the famous
Jersey COW Ida Of st. Lambert in her
prime.
This COW is noted for two things. One
is that her butter record is the unriyaled
one of 80 pounds az ounces in seven
days. She also has given as high as 81
pounds of milk day. The other fact
that stands to her distinguished credit
is that she was the dam of the great

COVERED BARNYARDs.

How These Compare with Open Yards.
Objections Against Them.
The decomposition of manure under
cover, for which covered barnyards are
chiefly recommended By their advocates,
presents the most favorable conditions
for the propagation of any germs of dis
ease which may have infected herd of
cattle, according to American Cultiyator,
which advances the following opinions:
When manure is composted under cover,
its temperature is raised generally to
something more than blood heat. No
better seed bed for the propagation of
germs of all kinds can be desired than
this So long as the manure keeps moist
these germs stay in their place. But in
evitably under cover, unless artificial
watering is resorted to, the moisture in
the manure pile becomes dried. As the
farmer says, the manure fire fangs"
and when handled breaks up into fine
powder, which in a close, darkened room
flies about in every direction, lodging
on walls and holding in this dust the
germs Of every disease that has been

heap. Is 1t any wonder that the tuber-
culosis disease has ragged most among
the stock kept most carefully. by which
is usually meant the most artificial and
unhealthful conditions?
We do not condemn keeping animals
warm, either in stables above ground or
in underground Easements. Whatever is
necessary for the comfort of animals
must be secured in inclement winter
climate. But trying to save manure by
composing it in the same room with
the stock is something that never ought
to be DONE The composing should al
ways be done out of doors. The manure,
If kept moist, always will decompose its
vegetable matter into moist mold that
will help to hold ammonia instead of
into dry ash that will dissipate it. In
stead of providing covered barnyards to
hold the manure it should be brought
outside the barn into the open air each
day.
The man who works comfortably in
the open air during the daytime needs
shelter and protection at night. So. too.
does stock. 1t is the attempt to preserve
stock from exposure at all times, rather
than keeping it warm and comfortable
during hours Of sleep, that is objected
to. Giving some exercise in the open
air each day is an essential to preserving
health in all animals. 1t is because the
covered barnyard makes this difficult
that we are opposed to it. By keeping
the open barnyard we'll Uttered with
straw there will be little waste of ma
nure. The advantage to health of pro-
viding a place for farm stock to freely
exercise in will more than counterbal-
ance any possible but not probable waste
of manure from such cause

40 nErLNtrE crRAN pnLtcY YET.

40 DEFtNf1E CUBAN POLICY YET.
Sensational reports have come from
Washington recently TO the effect that
the administration had settled upon a
policy i'm regard to Cuba and that the
new minister to Spain would be charged
with making certain definite proposals
to the Spanish government looking to
speedy settlement Of the Cuban conflict.
Trustworthy advices, however, say that
while the president has been giving this
subject earnest and careful consider
alton. he has not yet formulated any
distinct policy respecting Cuba or the
suggestions or demands which will be
made with n view to ending the war in
which a decision has been reached ap
pears to be that of demanding rcpa-
ration for the death of DIR. Ruiz, 1t be-
ing understood that Minister WOodford
will be instructed to press the claim
for ample indemnity to the family of
Ruiz, on the ground of his unjust in
generation. 1t has been stated that the
Spanish government is prepared to pay
an indemnity of $4,000 if the United
States made no formal demand. but as
no such proposal has been made by the
Spanish government the statement was
probably the invention of the news
paper correspondent who sent it. The
Ruiz case seems to make an absolutely
valid claim for rcparation, but ii will
be extraordinary if the Spanish govern
mcnt shall concede it without a pro
longed diplomatic controversy.
Minister Woodford will probably re-
ccive his final instructions during the
present week and will depart at once
for Madrid. 1t is to be presumed that
he will be authorized to submit to the
Spanish government some proposition
relative to Cuban affairs, but it is hardly
probable that there will be anything
presented in the nature of an ute
matum, as reports from Washington
have stated 1t is not to be doubted
that the administration is very anxious
to do something for the paciiicatiOn of
cuba, hut there has been nothing to in
dicate that the president contemplates
any radical change of policy in respect
to this matter, at least for the present.
1t is quite possible, however, that the
Cuban situation may assume Il new and
highly interesting phase within the next
sixty days.
