Road Completed.

Kelliher Journal: L. Bjorge has
completed his four mile road con-
tract west of the city. The road is
credit to the contractor and the
town of Kelliher, and certainly is
one of the finest pieces of highways
in the entire county.
The completion of this highway
and the rapid progress on the road
continuing from the end of Mr..
Bjorge's contract will mean much to
the settlers living in the Battle conn
try aud the development of that
country.

EFFECT OF SOILS ON
PLANTS
By G. L. Allen.

While variations of climate produce
wonderful changes in vegetable forms,
it is well-established fact that any
vegetable grown in given soil will
assume a very different form when
grown on either a heavier or a lighter
one. This has been shown in re.
markable degree with the cabbage.
A given variety grown for long num-
Der of years on a heavy soil, with a
liberal supply of plant food, proper
care in growing the plants and in
transplanting them, and constant cul
tivation until the crop is matured
will develop a type remarkable for
size and rigor, with excellent keeping
qualities, and be what is known as a
Late Flat Dutch or Drumhead cab
bage. On the other hand, take the
same stock seed, grow it on a light
sandy soil, under the same climatic
influences, with the same care in cul
tivation, always selecting with a view
to earliness and solidity, and the re
suit will be in the same number Of
years variety Of the same genera
form but Of smaller size and very
much earlier. Again, a soil inter
mediate in character, from the same
stock, during the same period, witt
the same care in selection, will give 6
variety intermediate in character az
well as in period Of growth.

George Fornwald, substitute mail

Transport Gazette, owns cat which,
strange to say, will not catch a mouse,
but spends it's time In the yards hunt
ing for garter snakes. ~
The cat SO far this season has
caught three snakes~an brought them
to the house, and after laying snake
down on the porch 1t goes back again
to the yard to hunt for more Two of
the snakes the cat has caught were
captured in one day, while the other
was caught a day later. these three
are the only ones Mr.. Fornwald has
seen, yet some Of the neighbors say
they often see the cat with snake IN
its mouth.
Whether or not the animal would
tackle anything larger than garter
snake is hard to tell, yet from the
fight 1t puts UP when it gets hold OF
one Of these smaller species it is evi
dent that it would probably be able tc
get away with larger one. The
snake-killing cat is not very large and
is still nothing more than a kitten.

Red Cedar.-Red cedar, from which
pencils are made, has become SO
scarce that it enjoys the unique dis
tinction Of being bought and sold by
the pound. Most of this cedar comes
from Tennessee, Alabama and Florida,
and the supply in Tennessee is nearly
gone. Fence rails that weathered the
civil war have gone into pencils.
Stumps have been dug up and sold for
more than the trees which were cut
frim them to make railroad ties.
Fence posts have given way to newer
kinds CT wood and have been carted
to the pencil factory to be sold for
ten cents hundred pounds. And yet
this red cedar will grow anywhere in
the United States where the soil does
not contain too much sand or clay;
will flourish on land that is unfit for
agriculture, and will reach a size fit
for pencil making when 20 years old.

Senator Pettus' Library.

The late Senator Pettus of Alabama
was "Forty-niner,' going overland
to California in the early days and en-
gaging in placer mining. He took
with him on that long and tedious
journey three books, the Bible, Shake
speare and Burns poems.
He said of them at one time not long
since: Il read the Bible from cover
to cover; read the side notes; read
the captions Of the chapters; l learned
great parts Of it by heart, and j
haven't forgotten them yet. I learned
many OF Burns poems by heart and
much OF Shakespeare in the same way

books was an education in itself. I,

gagged in that search for wealth spen,

THE CULTURE
OF ASPARAGUS
BY w. r. Beattie.

This crop can be grown on almost
any well-drained soil, but will do best
on deep, mellow, sandy loan. There
is little possibility of having the land
too rich, and liberal applications of
rotted barnyard manure should be
made before the plants are set. 1t is
usually more satisfactory to purchase
two-year-old roots from some seeds
man or dealer. The price Of good
roots is generally about s1.25 per hun
bred, and 100 to 200 plants will be
found sufficient to supply the ordinary
family. The roots should be trans
planted during the late autumn or
early spring. Before setting out the
plants the land should be loosened
very deeply, either by subsoil blowing
or deep spading. 1t is good plan to
remove the topsoil and spade manure
into the subsoil to depth of IA or 16
inches: then replace the topsoil and
add more manure. There are two
methods Of setting an asparagus bed,
depending entirely upon the kind Of
cultivation to be employed in the gar
den. If horse tools are to be used,
the plants should be set in rows three
and a half feet apart and IA inches
apart in the row. On the other hand
if the garden space is limited the
plants should be set in a solid bed
one foot apart each way, and cult
waited by hand. In setting asparagus
the crowns should be covered to a
depth of four or five inches At the
north it will be desirable to mulch the
asparagus bed during the winter with
three or four inches of loose manure
or straw. In the south the covering
during the winter will not be neces
sary, but the bed should receive {
dressing OF manure Or fertilizer a
some time each year, preferably IL
the autumn.

LIKE AN OBITUARY.

Except for the absence Of black
lines fore and aft and TO port and star
board, the editorial articles Of the coun-
try headed "John c. Spooner" would
seem like obituaries to the casual read
er.
The majority Of them begin with the
announcement that he has retired from
tho political world; and then recite the
date of his birth and the principal
events Of his career; closing with q
beautiful tribute to his merits and a
coincidence with the country upon its
loss.
After all, that is perhaps the best
way TO view this recession from public
place Of one of the Nation IS acknowl-
edged great statesmen.
In all essentials John G. Spooner s
withdrawal is almost the same 10 the
country as his death would be. In an
age when most craftsmanship is needed
and yalued-because of the large in
crease of personnel in government with
out the maintenance Of the old average
of craftsmanship; at time when this
great man had attained to the conf.
dencc Of his fellow-citizcns of the en-
tire Republic as he has attained to and
holds the confidence of his people in
Wisconsin; he yields to the demands Of
a private business 'too long neglected.
and passes into the service of corpora
tions where his craftsmanship Will be
at best but negative force in this
country.
The end Of 4 sublime career, for a
man who continues to 1.-Two as the indl-
yldual, is moro piteous than the death
