DISCUSSES PRESENT PROS

Cool and changeabIe for Three Weeks,
But Little Damage so Far Report

Moore, Wyo.. May 10. 1908

To the Editor OF The Republican.
The weather has been very cool and
changeable for the last three weeks,
but as yet the apple crop has not been
damaged much. In my opinion, the
apple is the most valuable fruit that
the farmers can raise here, although
the raspberry, blackberry and mulber-
ry will do very well, but most of the
small fruits are too easily affected by
the sudden changes in this state.
Plenty Of Precipitation.
The last storm was a good one, most
ly snow. The precipitation was LII
inches, and 1t has raised the creeks
some and better prospects for good
range and crops have not been seen
for a long time, although the season
may be short. l am beginning to think
my corn and pumpkin crops will be a
failure this time.
Thrust at Inspectors.
l understand that the cattlemen here
will all have to be dipping their cat
tie all summer. l think that the best
thing that can be done will be to
shove some of those fat government
inspectors through the vats. Dipping
does no good at all. Those ranchmen
who have scaby cattle should dip those

other commercial lines have been.

to the time when she will be as pre-
eminent in the worlds commerce as
have been Tyre, Carthage, Rome, Ca

her ports merchandise will be carried
in American bottoms or in foreign
vessels. Today it is mainly in vessels
flying foreign flags. So, too, with the
commerce of the Atlantic ports. To
reach even South American ports it
must be carried by foreign lines across
the Atlantic and back again. Ameri-
can vessels have asked Congress for
assistance similar to that accorded
railway transportation, but in vain.
Because of this the Dakota is not re-
placed at Seattle. And yet Congress
can appropriate $125,000,O0O for the

ASPARAGUS CULTURE.
Some Valuable Hints from One Who
Has Grown the Vegetable.

In recent letter, Mrs. e. r.. Grimes.
one of the most successful asparagus
growers in toe nation, has the follow
ing to say % the culture of that ex-
cellent plant:
There are two methods by which
plants can be secured-from seed and
from roots. II the roots can be OBJ
tanned from a reliable Arm, this is the
quickest way to start a bed, and the
earlier returns will more than pay for
the plants; but roots should not be
over two years old. Stunted roots and
two-year-old-roots are so nearly alike
In appearance that an unreliable firm
Will sometimes palm the former off
for the latter. Some time ago the writ
er ordered $50 of the twoyear-old
roots, and, at the same time, planted
roots grown from seed from the home
garden. Those from the nursery did
not show spear above the ground,
while home grown plants have formed
a thrifty body, but roots can be pur.
chased from reliable firms with good
results. The writer has had good
success taking up the young plants
that had grown from a fallen seed in
an old bed. These plants should be
taken up after a rain, being careful
to take up enough soil so as not to
disturb the young plants. II plants
form a clump, leave them together
dig a hole large enough to set the
roots in as II they had grown there

place, where the ground is cultivated
These plants should not be disturbed
till two years old.
III one cannot secure plants fro..

fl; N. The seed should be sown early
In the spring and when plants are two
years old transplant into q bed where
the roots can remain permanently. II
properly cared for the bed will be
profitable for 25 years. The selection
of the ground is quite important. II
for early use, or for market. and IL rap
Id growth is desired, the soil should
be little sandy and should lie where
It can have the direct rays of the sun
The ground should be as free from

This soil should be heavily covered

The rows should be marked out will

deep In which to set the roots. The

and vitality OF the roots"

soil not valuable for agriculture. had

GARDEN NOTES.

Much OF the fruit shipped to mar

The tomatoes need TO be started
early, so that the plants will have

berry worms can easily he killed by
spraying the bushes promptly with
one ounce OF white -hellebore dissolved
in three gallons of water. m
