ASPARAGUS CULTURE


Asparagus is very profitable as well as
useful vegetable, says the Tribune Farmer.
Aside from its delectable taste, it pos
sesses medical qualities OF high order,
aud market gardens are now raising it by
the acre, as the demand for it, especially
in the large cities, is constantly increas-
ing. 1t does best on land free from stone
or gravel. sandy loan being an ideal
soil. In such ground the stalks can be
cut with much less trouble than in stony
ground. The soil can hardly be too rich,
but it is not necessary to trench the land,
as was formerly done, or to bury manure
four or five feet deep in order to make
the bed last for years. The soil should
be worked deeply enough SO that the
crowns of the plants when set may be
from four to six inches beneath the sur
face. This will allow shallow cultivation
over the whole surface before and after
the growing season.
Having the ground deeply plowed and
cultivated, make deep burrows three or
four feet apart, and set the plants in the
bottom, with the roots well spread out
over the crown. Cover lightly and press
the soil firmly over the roots. Year-old
plants are prefera BILE to older ones. As
paragus ro, ts are large and fleshy and
old plants have too many removed in
transplanting. 1t is in the roots that
the plant lays up the stores of vitality
that car ry it through the cutting season
before many leaves have been produced.
The plants when bought are all roots
except few little dormant buds at the
crown. Under favorable conditions and
after two weeks or more these buds will
push up shoots, and as they growsthe
burrows should be carefully filled by culti-
vation of the soil 1t may be well at this
time to scatter fertilizers along the rows.
The richer the land and the better the
cultivation the larger should the stalks be
when ready to cut. As the plants will
spread to some extent they should have
plenty OF room. Plants three feet apart,
if well fed and not weakened by too late
cutting, will last longer and produce
better crops than if set closer After cut
ting, the soil being hardened by the re-
peated walking over it, the surface should
be given a thorough cultivation down
near the crowns of the plants. If the land
is not already sufficiently rich, good fer
tilizer should be applied freely and culti-
waited often while there is room to get in
between the rows will keep the weeds in
subsection.
In the fall apply some coarse manure,
but do not work it in. In this way it
will act as a protector as we'll as mulch.
1t can be worked in early in the spring
before the plants begin to sprout.

other patrons Of the roads are compelled
to pay for a like service. As they are
usually resorted to to make profitable
some branch which has hitherto failed to
pay dividends they would be unassail-
able except on the ground that the rail-
roads are not private property and must
be administered for the benefit of the
entire public instead OF for their stock
holders. Long haul differentials are
those special rates made to terminals
where several roads compete for business,
sometimes made so low, the railroad men
declare, that they resulted in loss to the
roads, which loss must, OF course be made
good by over charging patrons of the
road who do not live at the terminals.
The midnight rate and the private car
system have come chiefly into use as a
method OF evading the EIkins law since
that act was placed on the statutes. The
first consists of a road making a specially
low rate for the goods of large patron,
or trusts. By secret understanding with
the patron, this rate will go into effect at
midnight on a certain night on which
the large patron can make particularly
heavy shipments. The rate will be made
public as the law requires, but by the
time the general public is prepared to
avail itself of the especially low rate it is
revoked and practically only the patron,
or patrons, who received secret advance
notice have benefited by it and they are
thus enabled to sell their goods at dis
tant point at rate materially lower than
their less fortunate and usually smaller
competitor. The private car system is
the latest and most efficient scheme for
eyading the anti-rebate law. Railroad
companies are compelled to pay the
owners Of private cars for the use Of those
cars. Private cars are, OF course, owned
almost exclusively by large concerns like
the beef trust, ct al. These concerns pay
the railroads the full published freight
rates but they compel the railroads to pay
them for the use of their cars various
rates which amount, of course, to rebates.
as the net result affords to the large
shipper a lower cost of transportation
than their smaller competitors.
**
The railroads will gladly accept any
regulation which will effectually prevent
ali the forms OF discrimination which
curtail their profits, but they will oppose
to the bitter end any legislation which
will more completely establish the right of
the government to regulate and supervise
their business. 1t is the desire of the
President that Congress shall frame law
which will remedy all these evils and
establish, for all time, the rights of the
people, as exercised by their represent
ative, the government, over the ironed
public highways.

THE COUNTY COURT.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
Equal justice to all, special privileges
toYnone." We count ourselves civiliz-
ed people, and demand equal representa-
tionimall organized bodies that affect our
welfare. How isit with ourcountycourt2
Icpntend that one member to every | 900
of population is ample to dothe business
of,our county court, based on population.
The conrt as now constituted is based
on the number of civil districts. The
district that votes 80 or 40 is equal to the
one that votes 800, sor 400 or any other
number Therefore, to equalize our rep-
resentation in the county court as now
constituted, we take the district that poll
ed the leastnumber. of votes in the recent
August election and divide by the whole
number cast in the county and that will
give ISL the number of justices the peo-
pie Of Benton County are entitled to.
Or, take one fifth OF the population
which is 2, 377---or one vote to every FIVE of
population, divide by the district. that
polls the least number Of votes and we
have g4, as about fifty votes elects two
justices. Take the 80. mempeIs as now
constituted, not counting the corporation
members and we have 81 to elect to make
US equal in representation.
The population off our county is II 1888,
according to the census Of 1900. The 50
justices represent q, population OF 1890,
leaving z,068unrepresented or haying no
voice In the county court
Why the people Of Benton County have
permitted such conditions to exist am
unable to.explain unless it is their OPEN
hearted generous disposition toilet 9TH
ers act for them.
II we equalize our representation with
oui making any change in the districts, it
will make our court too large and expen-
sive, and there is already complaints on
that ground AS our Constitution says
we shall elect two justices to every civil
district, it is necessary to have the re-
CURED population to elect them.
If we decide on 2,000population to elect
two members OF the county court it would
give us 12and 6icivil districts. / am not
in favor discriminating the question ofrep-.
resentation and the number OF districts
the county shall contain to the county
court when it only represents a minority
of the population. Either leave it to
delegated convention Oh the State legisla-
ture. We always except the majority
rule, when fairly represented, and don't
think any, favortism can be worked.
There may be some little variations in.
the calculations Ehave made, but hardly
enough to overcome the minority repre-
sentation in the county court. II 1.-THE peo-
pie OF Benton County don't equalizetheir
represe ntation iu the county court, they
have no right to talk about Russia's bu-
reauocracy government.

Nothing would have been better for
