RAISING ASPARAGUS.

Among the vegetables there is none
that occupies higher place than the
asparagus. Not only is this vegetable
highly superior and valued article of
diet, but its culture may be extended al
most the entire year, and no garden
should be complete without it. Two
methods are employed in the raising of
asparagus, viz, from the seed and from
roots. The latter is the quickest way of
starting the bed and is mostly used. Sc
cure from a reliable firm one-year-oId
plants having strong and well developed
buds with plenty of roots. From a Sc
ries of experiments both at various ex-
pertinent stations and among practical
growers it has been demonstrated that
one yearold crowns are preferable to
older ones, and at the end of year or
two will be as large, more vigorous and
more productive. 1t has also been found
that better results are obtained from
planting crowns bearing male flowers
than from those bearing female flowers,
for the reason that as the former do not
produce seed the strength which would
be taken to mature seed goes to the stor-
age of nourishment III the roots. thus en-
abing them to produce larger, earlier
and better spears for next springs cut
ting.
The best time to plant is either in the
spring or autumn. A sandy, loamy soil
is to be preferred, though asparagus will
grow on any soil that has fairly good
drainage or allows easy percolation of
water, yet thin soil with an impervious
clay subsoil should be avoided. The land
should be thoroughly prepared by deep
plowing, narrowing and manuring Re
garding the distance between rows and
between plants in the row, growers differ.
About four feet between rows and two
feet between plants in the row, however,
are mostly found preferable, and the
plants should be planted deep, allowing
only about an inch or two above the sur
face. As soon as planted the entire tops
of the plants should be covered with loose
and friable soil. Careful and proper cul-
tiyation is highly essential in asparagus
culture, and should begin the following
spring after planting. No weeds should
lie allowed to grow and the soil should
be kept in loose condition In locali-
ties subject to high winds it is advisable
to use stakes.-The Rural Californian.

The Philadelphia Grocery World de-
scribes the dried fruit market in that
city as follows: "The dried fruit market
is in good shape and active. Raisins are
in excellent demand There has been no
change in price, and at the present time
there is no indication of any, although
the general tone of the market is rather
strong. Stocks on spot are not heavy,
and between now and Christmas there
will be a extremely large demand. The
Coast market is very firm, owing partly
to the fact that a large percentage of the
stock has been shipped. Seeded raisins
are scarce, and large quantity is there
fore being seeded up, which eats away
the available supply from day to day.
Prunes are also in very good shape at an
advance of ne-eighth of cent. Reports
from the Coast state that two-t thirds of
the new crop have been sold. The de-
mand is excellent, and a slight further
advance is likely. Prices would prob
ably be good deal higher were it not
for the presence of large block of old
prunes which are hanging over the mar
ket's head. A large part of these, how
ever, are in bad condition. Currants
are very active at firm prices. No fur
ther advance has occurred, although
prices may get slightly higher, as there
will be no new arrivals until late in De
cember. Peaches are selling well, on ac
count of the cold weather, at unchanged
prices. Apricots are in fairly satisfac-
tory condition at unchanged prices"

SUGGESTS A MYSTERY.
Terra Gotta Pipe of Queer Design
Found on River Shore.

Four pieces of terra Gotta pipe filled with
a heavy substance and so constructed that
they had a suspicious appearance were
picked up yesterday on the river shore be-
low high-water mark near the foot of 18th
street southeast. They were found near the
works of the Washington Gaslight Com
pany. Mr.. Thomas F. Holden, superintend-
ent of the gas works, discovered them and
notified the police of the fifth precinct.
The pipes are about three feet In length
and six inches in diameter. They are ce-
mented at each end and piece of brass
tubing projects from the ends through the
cement. A policeman was sent to make in
quiries about the suspicious-appearing
things and an effort was made yesterday to
have them examined by experts at the navy
ward The police were unable to have this
done however, and the filed pipes were per-
mitted to remain on the river front over
night rrr -
Captain Boardmans attention was called
to the matter this morning and he directed
that an officer be detailed to guard the pipes
and see that they are not tempered with
until he can have them properly examined
and passed upon by experts In explosives.
Detective Baur was detailed to see TO the
investigation.
bout three weeks ago FIVE sticks cf dyna-
mite were found In the water near the
Navy Yard bridge by a fisherman. The
were turned over to the officer in charge
of one of the Notifications down the river.
The investigation was concluded In
short time. Detective Baur and men en-.
ployed about the gas companys property
smashed the pipes and found that they con-
ployei in the navy yard examined the con-
tents.

NO STRIKE EXPECTED
P. n. MoRRIssEY EXPLAINS
MEETING OF r. r. EMPLOYEES.
Declares Reports Sent Out From Chi
cago Are Misleading te
the Public.

A dispatch from Cleveland Ohio yester-
day says: Grand Master p. H. Morrissey OF
the Brotherhood OF Railway Trainmen, re-
turned here today from Chicago. where he
was in conference with prominent represen-
tatives of his organization in the west and
northwest.
Upon request Mr. Morrissey dictated and
gave the Associated Press the following
signed statement concerning the reported
combined movement on the part OF The four
leading organizations of railway employees
to secure an advance of wages for their
10000 members:
The reports emanating from Chicago
that 10000 men, represented by the estab-
lished railway labor organizations, were
forming a federation or combination for the
purpose of making concerted demand for
increased wages on the railway companies
in the territory west of Chicago are not
authoritative and no such movement is N
contemplation. Conferences of represent
atives of some of the classes of railway
labor have recently been held in Chicago.
but have had no relation to the formation
of a plan for a united movement.
''It Is true as has heretofore been ofh-
cially stated. that the conductors and train
men contemplate presenting requests Tor IN
creased wages to lines in the western ter
cedure will be regular and orderly and in
accordance with the established rules and
customs of the Order of Railway Conduc-
tors and Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.
Other individual organizations, in different
parts of the territory, may have similar
requests in course of preparation, and from
the character of these organizations We
are confident that agreements will be reach
ed without any friction or serious misun-
Outstanding.
THE statement that an immense combi-
nation Of railway employees Is in process of
formation, with prospect OF general
railway strike and serious Interference with
traffic following 1t, IL no doubt as disquiet-
ing to the public as II is unjust to the or
ganizations. Changed conditions OF rail-
way employment, which have added to the
labors and responsibilities OF the men en-
gagged in the active movement of trains, as
we'll as increasing their earning capacity
and usefulness to the companies, taken
with the increased earnings and generally
prosperous conditions of railways, We be-
lieve fully justify increased wages for the
employees, but before stated. these mat
tiers will be fairly met and discussed be-
tween committees of employees and their re-
spective arrangements, and we have no
doubt that mutually satisfactory agree
ments will be reached

OLDEST INHABITANTS
Monthly Meeting Wednesday Night
Clocos with Tuncheon

The Association Of the Oldest Inhabitants
held its monthly meeting at the Corcoran
building Wednesday evening. DIR. ]. L.
Howard presented an engraving OF the Pres
idents of the United States from Wishing
ton to Grant, which was received with
thanks.
The following were proposed for member
ship and elected: Capt o. S. Wiley. Theo-
dore Friebus A. c. Wnslow and Edward
T. McNerhany.
INDUCING In "reminiscences. Dr. Howard
referred to the fact that he had a vivid
recollection of a blacksmith shop located
in the vicinity of Az and c streets, between
the corner and Pennsylvania avenue. about
the site of No. 21s. The shop was conduct
ed by Mordecai Foy This was impressed
on his mind by the somewhat peculiar sign
of bare arm, holding hammer. with the
words, with hammer in hand all arts do
stand United for support, but not CONF
bined to inture." He also recalled that the
foundation of the Metropolitan NJ. Il.
Church had been laid many years before
the erection of the present edif1ce.
Mr.. Raglan read of the capital city from
the days of Jefferson, when the population
numbered about 5000. giving the rate OF
Increase to 1850. when there were over
90 600 Inhabitants.
Mr. Raglan asked information as to the
old Cross Keys Tavern which in his boy
hood days was a noted place on the north
west corner OF 7th and Boundary, now
Florida avenue. Mr.. T. v. Noonan said
that when he was a boy he was acquainted
with that section, and remembered the old
tavern, which had its sign erected on a
large pole 1t was a sign on which were
two keys crossed, and when the wind swung
1t back and forth the creaking of its fasten-
ings could be heard for a long distance.
MIR. Schultz congratulated the association
on the growing interest as shown by the
increased attendance and membership, the
hooks on the coat and hat rack being filled
An additional rack was ordered.
The meeting closed with a lunch, at which
many interesting personal experiences were
related The association adjourned to
Thursday, January 1, 1908. at 10 o'clock,
when, after the transaction OF regular BUSH
ness, the members will pay their respects
to the President of the United States.
