Always the Best
This Year Better Than Ever

This years tobacco crop in Porto Rico
is the finest ever grown. Onlythe choicest
selections are used to make the FL Toro.
For these reasons the Ell Toros now on the
market are particularly recommended

they're better than ever.
The increased cost of genuine Porto

AsPARAGus GRoWING

Asparagus is very vigorous plant,
and will often grow and flourish I'M
der neglect, yet it does best with
careful garden cultivation. Since
it is produced only for it's green
stalks, it is besS fortified by nitro
genous manures, and of stable ma
nure it can hardly get too much.
Concentrated fertilizers do not seem
to give as good results as the more
bulky manures that contain lots of
plant fibre Manure should be spread
heavily all over the plantation after
the last cutting in the spring. Dur
ing the summer this becomes thor
oughly incorporated with the soil and
acts as a mulch to retain moisture.
Manure is sometimes applied to as
paragus beds during fall and winter
after the tops are removed. This
gives the plant food required, but
keeps the ground from drying out in
spring, and makes the crop late.
Just as soon as the soil is dry
enough to work, the asparagus plan
tation should be plowed or deeply
disked. The plow should not be al
lowed to run deep enough to injure
the crowns, but the whole surface
above them should be thoroughly bro
ken up This general cultivation in
the spring aerates the soil and starts
the plants into growth as we'll as
keeping the ground free of weeds and
the rows from becoming matted with
grass.-W. N. HUT.

A sTEAM-HEATED GARDEN.

and the heat warns the soil in a grad
ual manner. The artificial heat is
turned on early in March, and is in
tended to aid in the early sprouting
of seeds of hardy plants, also such
hardy crops as asparagus and rhu-
barb, which are not much injured by
low temperature above the surface.
Later in the season it is used to hast
en- the season of berry crops and fruit
trees. The cost in the country of it's
invention Is about $3.50 per acre for
laying the pipes, also the cost of
steam boiler Fuel costs about SIS
per acre month, but the profit of use
for early vegetables alone is reckoned
at $500 per acre for the season.

.PITTsBURG HAS AUTOMANIA
Police Say City is Speed Crazy
and Prohibit Racing.
superintendent McQuaide Declares
That the Lives of People Are
in Danger at Every Turn.

Pittsburg, Pa. - Greatly aroused
over the number of automobile acct
dents in this city in the last two
weeks the police have determined to
prohibit automobile races in the fut-
ure. They believe that racing arouses
automobile owners to increase their
speed. According to Thomas A. Nc
Quaide, Superintendent of Police, the
automobile owners of Pittsburg are
suffering from a disease which he
calls "automania. In an interview
Superintendent McQuaide said:
The automobile owners of Pitts
burg and vicinity have gone speed
crazy. In spite of the fact that sew
eral have been killed and many in
jured in the last two weeks the work
of blood and death goes on. The
lives of our people are in danger at
every turn. The people of Pittsburg
are at present divided into two
classes, one owning autos who are
trying to break their own and other
peoples necks, and the others who
are trying to dodge. We have tried
to stop this speeding, but we seem to
be powerless. 1t appears that when
a sensible business man of Pittsburg
buys an automobile he becomes inoc-
ulated with the speed mania, which
cannot be checked We have passed
laws, but men who respect every
other law laugh at these. The other
day had before me one of the most
prominent business men of Pittsburg
for speeding his automobile. He
seemed very sorry, and | believe he
was sincere. He paid his fine and
promised never to speed again. When
he left my Office he got into his auto
mobile and started out the Boulevard

NEGRO TROOPS FOR NEW YORK.
Regiment is Ordered to Barracks
Near WATERFOWL and Oswego.

order that will probably cause COM
motion in New York, his home State.
1t provides for the relief of num-
Der of regiments that have been serv-
ing in the Philippines for more than
the full allotted term of two years,
and the point of interest is found in
the fact that included in the return
ing organizations is a negro regiment

the dispatch to the Philippines of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry some months
ago, the United States was left with
out any negro troops except a few
short-term cavalry men employed in
the stables at the. West Point Military
Academy
When the proposition was made
about two months ago to return the
negro troops several strong protests
were made to the department by Con-
gressmen and other prominent per-
sons representing communities where,
it was reported, these troops were
to be posted. General Oliver has
settled the matter by ordering these
soldiers into his own State.
