ASPARAGUS GROWING.

Asparagus is a very vigorous plant,
and will often grow and flourish I'M.
der neglect, yet it does best with
careful garden cultivation. Since
1t is, produced only for its green
stalks, 1t is best 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 plapt 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 pillow should not be all
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 well as
keeping the ground free OF weeds and
the rows from becoming matted with
grass.-W. NJ HUT.

a srrAM.HEATEp GARDEN.

A German inventor has devised q
new plan for fastening the growth OF
vegetables. His method is to lay
steam pipes in earthenware conduits
at two or three feet under the sur
face Of the soil. Steam at high tenn
perature is forced through the pipes,
and the heat warns the soil In 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 its
invention is about $3.50 per acre for
laying the pipes, also the cost OF
steam boiler Fuel costs about SIS
per acre a month, but the profit Of use
for early vegetables alone is reckoned
at $500 per acre for the season.

MIR. CARTER REPLIES.
Further Correspondence ms to Eligible
Try Of DR.. Gravatt Made Public.
In connection with the Hanover

Further CorresDondcnce ms to Eligibil-
Try Of DR.. Grnvntt Made Public.
In connection with the Hanover
1t has been published far and near
that Mr.. HUI Carter. a prominent
lawyer of this city. had expressed the
opinion that DR.. c u. Gravatt of Caro-
line county, who is a candidate for
the seat In opposition to Hon. Henry
T. Wickhana. Is Ineligible. DR.. Ora
watt has stated publicly that Mr.. Car
ter in rendering such an opinion has
reversed himself. inasmuch as he ex-
pressed contrary opinion O few weeks
ago.
Further correspondence has been
made public setting forth the real facts
in the case. Mr.. A. b. Chandler. Of
Bowling Green, Caroline county, who.
it seems. is friend Of DR.. Gravatt
and an intimate fr!end of Mr.. Carter
had doubts as to the eligibility Of DR..
Gravatt. because of the fact that he is
a retired naval surgeon on the pay
roll of the United States government.
+! but to be sure Of his contention came
to Richmond about March LIST and con-
suited Mr.. Carter as to the meaning
of the clause of the Constitution which
| lOlUAOS any pclSCA HOl0luE ally OlHCS
or post Of profit or emolument from
serving in the Legislature. He re-
ported to DR.. Gravatt that Mr. Carter
said the Constitution meant holding
such Office or post" and that a retired
| officer does not hold" the post, but
merely receives emolument.
| Later Mr.. Carter expressed an opin-
ion that Dr. Gravatt was ineligible
This led to a. correspond ence between
Mr.. Chandler and Mr.. Carter. In reply
/ to Mr.. Chandler Mr. Carter says he
/ does not remember the conversation
Mr.. Chandler referred to as taking
place about the LIST OF March last. but
says There is enough, however. in
| the quotation from your letter to DR.
4 Gravatt to show. I think. that at this
interview in my Office did not thel
4 know or have In mind the fact tina,
I the person whose status was being
] considered. was still AN officer (thougl

land as such liable to perform duty il
called upon by the government, as

and not the mere receipt OF salary

distressingly small, only about half

,ru,, co,lM1ss1oN Plan.

Tho Nashville American has moor
norated in its platform OF progress
blank fnvoring such amendment of the
city charter as will give that city the
commission system of municipal gov
ernmont. The system is growing IN
regularity, and we believe tho day Is
not distant when most of the progress
sivc cities Of the United States VIII
adopt It. It is the rational and bus
iress-likc method Of conducting the
affairs of corporation It saves time;
1t saves energy; 1t saves expense; II
saves the city from corruption; 1t saves
the people from useless agitation; 1t
reduces taxes; it insures larger diVi-
dends to the stockholders.
Why should not Richmond adopt 1t?
It has been said that under the Con-
st!tution Of the State there must be ct
least one member OF each branch OF
tho Council from each ward. The Con
sututlon provides that there shall BIZ
In every city a Council, composed Of
two branches having different mum
Der Of members, and whose member!
shall be elected by the qualified voters
of such city, in the manner prescribed
by law, but so as to give. as far a
practicable, to each ward equal repre-
ssntation in each branch In proportion
to the population of such ward. TIL
language OF the Constitution Is some
what obscure. 1t does not say in pne
else terms that the Councilman shall b
elected from the respective ward:
| Would It not be permissible to elect a.
tho members of both branches fror
the city as q whole? And If SO, woul
rot each ward have equal representa-
ton, 'as far as practicable" accord
ing to the spirit of the Constitution
1t is an interesting point, and W
should like to- have al expression {
, opinion from tho lawyers.
