Cultural Notes on Asparagus.

If one would have thrifty plants he
must provide for them mellow bed
and an abundance of food. The sets
should be planted separately (about two
by four feet) and deep enough SO that
the tops are from four to six inches be-
low the surface of the soil. AS regards
fertilizing, if the soil is mellow and
sufficiently rich to raise good crop OF
corn. surface manuring from year to
year will be all GENERALLY speaking)
that is required. A dressing Of complete
fertilizer every spring (not in autumn,
as is frequently recommended). how
ever, is of much benefit to any aspara-
gus bed, and the best time in which to
set the plants is also in the spring.
They can be set in autumn, Of course,
but in case they are they should be
mulched directly succeeding the first
hard freeze with two or more inches of
old and well rotted manure.-Country

s1Could not sections be filed with
Foundation in winter time in order to
gain time with next summer'swork?''
In The National Stockman this query is
answered as follows: "By all means /
know there are some who say they want
their foundation SO entirely fresh that
it will become too old If the sections are
1ilIed in winter. In actual practice ]
have found nothing Of the kind. I have
had good success with sections in which
foundation had been filed two, three
and some even four years. have felt
the annoyance Of being obliged to fill
foundation in sections while bees were
swarming, and have felt the comfort
OF having several thousand sections all
filled weeks before that time. and it
would take some money to get me to
wait till summer before having my SEQ
oions filled with foundation"

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
New York Journal.
The careful student OF the
two days battle about San
tiago, as reported j n the
journal and other newspa-
pers, cannot fail to be con-
vinced that the heavy loss OF
life on the American side, and
the partial check our army
suffered, were due most to
the Spanish use of smokeless
powder and our lack OF that
necessary equipment OF mod.
ern war.
The Spaniards were well
placed, numerous and brave.
The editOr-in chief of this pa
per, Mr.. William R. Hearst,
who was on the field OF bat
tie, leaves no doubt in his
story of the quality OF Span
ish valor. At Santiago, as
at Manila, they fought gal.
lantly, even desperately. Mr..
Creelman, the Journals cor
respondent whom Mr.. Hearst
found wounded on the field,
describes them as running
back time and again to the
little stone fort from which
they had been driven by our
artillery, so that, though fire.
quently silenced, thefort long
resisted occupation by our
troops. And the description
by Mr.. Creelman Of the state
OF the Spanish trenches, full
of dead and dying, and the
interior Of the stone fort
packed like a charnal house
with dead Spaniards, affords
sufficient evidence that the
foe with whom our soldiers
have to contend are ready to
die for their cause b a d
though it be.
But the editor OF the Jour
nal throughout his dispatch
