ABOUT ASPARAGUS.

Thousands inquire yearly how we
plant and grow asparagus. This most
nutritious first early vegetable deserves
to be more generally grown for home
use, also as market crop for profit
If properly located, market grass
growing is a safe proposition for $500
per acre yearly, and in some instances
double this amount. We well remem-
Der the abnormally warm spell here in
March, 1907 (Which caused orchard
lists to lose thousands of dollars), which
was a bonanza for grass growers, reap
ing a harvest never before equalled,
as we had Palmetto asparagus, one
year from planting that yielded over
5000 per acre.
A market plantation requires no
more labor to plant and cultivate than
a crop of potatoes. Remains produc-
tive for fifteen to twenty years Any
good soil is suitable, for main crop we
haven't any particular choice, sandy
soils are earlier. Our acreage, which
is large, comprises a variety of soils,
from light sands to heavy gumbo.
In planting, pillow ground same as for
potatoes, furrow out rows, north and
south, 31s feet apart, with pillow, throw
ing furrow each way. Drop plants
crown up, one foot apart in row, TAX
ing ten thousand per acre, cover light
ly at first with cultivator, when sub
sequent cultivation will level ground,
when crowns should be one to six
inches below surface. Thorough Guilt
walton is more necessary than manure
for the first few years. Apply all
manure on surface lightly, so as not to
interfere with cultivation. The first
spring from planting the crop can be
harvested.
For home use culture, never plant
less than 100 roots, which is ample for
bed 5x2O feet. Plow or spade up
ground, take common garden hoe and
furrow out rows one foot apart to &
inches deep. Prune roots to six inches
in length, and place one foot apart in
rows, crown up, cover lightly TILL

What has been the Democratic
party's policy on the Tariff Question?
The Bailey partisans say he (Bailey)
is right by voting with the Republi-
cans on the Tariff question, and that
has always been the policy of the
Democratic party on the Tariff Ques-
ton.
CulDerson and twelve others voted
just opposite to Bailey on the Tariff,
so kindly enlighten us on this sub
ject as we want to know which IS
correct.
I am an original Populist ard
stand by that party today, but for the
want of an organization of the Popu-
nst party have voted the Democratic
ticket rather than to vote with the
Republicans, but can see no differ
ence whatever if Bailey is correct.
| would not vote with him on any
question at any time or in no way in
the least approve or countenance
anything he advocated.
Please answer in Weekly Jeffer-

question and national questions now

Origin Of Making a Noise Like" This
or That.
Captain Henry G. Lyon. L. S. A.,
was the innocent cause of the slang
expression about making a noise like"
this or that. At Peeksbll in 1906 he
gave instruction to officers of the New
York national guard doing duty in that
tour Of camp. The first day lie formed
the officers into class in the big mess
hail, which was open at the sides, so
that all that went ON inside was seen
and heard by the enlisted men pass
ing back and forth. In teaching the
officers how to give tie commands Cap
tain Lyon impressed upon the class
the necessity of clear enunciation and
Of making commands like an officer,
saying "arms," not ''umps," etc.
The priyates' capacity for turning
things to their own amusement was
shown few minutes after that first
class was dismissed for officers going
through their company streets heard
privates in front of a group of men
shouting out, "Make noise like an
officer" whereupon the entire "class"
would roar "Umps!' A reporter sent
an account to New York paper, and
from this grew expressions such as
Make a noise like hoop and roll
away" etc.
However 1t is seldom one hears the
word "arms' or march the voice
finding 1t much easier to slur the word
till 1t may mean anything. and as the
preparatory command indicates what
IS to be done the command following
