FIGHT TO Be OVER

Members of he Board Of Police Com
missioners and of the SUBCOMMITTEE on
Ordinance. Charter and Reform, VIII
take up the liquor question again to-
day, and on Wednesday night the high
license ordinance VIII be discussed IN
all It's phases. Though tho subcom-
.mitteo has declined to make a state
ment concerning the nature of It's
report, there is reason to believe that
tho recommendations will propose re-
strictions Of liquor selling different
from oil required heretofore. oss15
With a tax Of $1,000 on each saloon
the committee Relieves the number
of establishments will ba very greatly
reduced, some thinking that instead
Of having 246 saloons Richmond may
rot have more than 100. The plan.
too, is to exercise greater supervision
over the issuance of licenses, so that
none except men OF character may be
permitted to sell. In a word, It is
the desire OF the more temperate forces
in the Council TO Withhold this re-
failing privilege from the keepers OF
dives and negroes who have conducted
places which have nothing in their
favor.
VIII BE Hard Fight.
There is, however, considerable OPP
position to the Elicit resolution, rails
ing the license to $1,000. and though IT
has found many supporters, the light
on that, the main feature Of the new
Legislation, may be bitter in the ex-
IRENE. Less opposition has developed
to the plan VIII ereby saloons may be
districted, which does not mean that
they shall be confined to one particu-
lar locality. but that they shall not
be allowed to do business on certain
streets Moreover, the number on each
block may be limited.
Before final report is made to Coun-
I'll on. the Elicit ordinance, the COM
mittee will have q. public meeting. to
which the liquor dealers and the other
faction will be invited, with the re-
quest that they give their views for
and against the measure. That this
will be mixed gathering is evident
at once. There Is no suggestion that
an earlier closing hour be designated.
and indeed this matter was settled for
the time being some months ago. The
license feature, however, is Of para
mount Importance, 1t has been said
that several dealers are inclined to fa-
vor It, for reasons best known to them
selves, but the majority, tits declared,
will put forth every effort to have
conditions remain as they are to-day.

CoHpeas.

Don't think of not planting a full
crop Of cowpeas because you think
the seed too high.
Where seed is scarce plant in the

seed may be made to completely COW

Thrash out peas and vines with a
thresher or stick. This threshing of

condition of the hay and solves the
problem as to the cheapest method
of gathering cowpeas..
You can we'll afford to pay even 81

on and in half dozen times, a couple
of days apart, should kill the mites.

Good Farming VS.. High Farming.

High farming is the attempt to
raise the largest product possible
upon the whole farm. Good farming
is to raise the product at the best pos
sible profit, everything considered.
In some cases the two amount to the
same thing. In other cases where
manure and hired help are hard to
get and the market is limited. it may
be more practical tofarm fewer acres
and farm them better, rather than to
try to force the whole farm to the
utmost. That is, if the farmer now
grows, say $4,000 worth of produce
from his 300-acre farm, let him take
only his best land and cattle and try
to produce that amount. Instead of
1000 bushels of potatoes on ten acres
let him fertilize higher and grow
1000 bushels on five acres. Instead
of thirty cows giving 200 pounds of
butter each per year keep 2300-pound-
ers. In place of three Extraordinary
hired men, pay little more and get
the best workers to be found. Apply
this idea right through. Such plans
are in the direction of concentration,
and concentration is the essence of
good farming Florida Agriculturist.

extreme left web, another in the right
foot on the left side, another in the
right web of the left foot and so on.

Do not be afraid to purchase eggs
OF pure bred fowls on account of the
fact that they may have to be

sent from the Atlantic coast to Cali
fornia, and have Matched with good
results. The same thing is true re-
garding the shipping OF fowls. They
may be sent any distance If cooped

Care of Asparagus Bed After Cuttin

Sdrc VI asparagus bcQ After Cutting.
Cutting of the asparagus shoots
should not be done after the middle
of June in the Northern States. and
should cease little earlier in States
OF more southern latitude.
At this time the whole bed. rows
and all, should be thoroughly culti-
waited fully three inches deep. Pre-
vlous to this the application of barn
yard manure is advocated by some
growers, but some of our most noted
experiment stations and most extern
sive growers of the product near
New York City and Philadelphia
strongly recommend the application
OF complete commercial fertilizers in
stead, with summer applications of
nitrate OF soda. One hundred and
sixty pounds per acre of this latter is
suff1cient and should be applied twice
during the growing months.
1t is claimed that manure contains
the seeds of .noxious weeds, which
mature and scatter before the aspa-
ragus tops are matured sufficiently
for moving.
AS the asparagus crop is gathered
from the early shoots and these are
removed continuously for about two
months, therefore the roots are very
much reduced in vitality when the
cutting season is over, and unless
plant foods, which are directly avail
able, are supplied, there will be
poor growth of top. If the tops
grow rapidly and strong they aid in
storing up food in their roots.
A fertilizer well adapted to the
needs Of asparagus contains:
nitrogen 4 per cent.
Available phosphoric acid per cent.
Actual potash ....... 10 per cent
One-half ton of this to the acre is
not too much, either applied broad
cast or along the rows, before the
cultivating is done.
Both nitrogen and potash In con-
siderable amounts are necessary, or
the shoots will lack both fine flavor
and crispness.-E. A. Season.
