Fertilizer For Asparagus.

The question of a proper fertilizer
mixture for asparagus has come ur
on some of the plantations on the
island. For q long while 1t was
thought that the only way to grow
asparagus successfully, was to use
large amounts of horse manure fol
fertilizing. This is indeed very ben
ef1cial where one can get the man
ure, but in this district 1t is impos-
sible to get good manure of this
sort or of any other of the natural
kinds. The manure which comes
from the Chicago stock yards, being
shipped into the Island district, Is
very often of such inferior quality,
that it Is scarcely worth the work
that 1t takes to unload 1t from the
cars, and place it on the land. It Is
not hard matter to get plenty Of
sand on the Island, and the straw
can be gotten from nearby farms.
In view Of these things the ques-
ton of commercial fertilizers is
very important. Some of the East
most splendid results without resort
ing to the use of any natural manure
whatever. One mixture which has

with this crop is as follows; $50
pounds OF nitrate of soda; 400 Fbs.
of ground bone; ESQ lbs Of back bone
and 200 lbs. Of muriate of potash Id
per cent?. This was applied at the
rate Of 400 pounds per acre before
growth started in the spring. To sup
plement this mixture, nitrate of soda
was applied in about three applica-
lions OF 100 to 15i0 pounds per acre
each. The first one Of these sup
Elementary applications was made
when the cutting season had pro-
crossed about three weeks. The
second was made about three weeks
later, and the third at the end Of the
cutting season.
Another mixture which has been |
tried out in some of the eastern |
states for work with asparagus, runs
about las follows: 100 pounds Of nj
trate of soda, $50 pounds Of tank
age or dried blood. 500 pounds OF
acid phosphate, and 200 pounds of
of potash GA per cent?. In
Ease no natural manure was used on
he plantation, this whole amount
per acre was applied just before
growth started. In case 10 to 1'5
oads of manure could be had per

acre. only about one-third to one
half OF the amount was used, The
rest being applied as supplement-
airy mixture at About the period
spoken OF above. In case no manure
could be had, the nitrate Of soda
was applied as directed above rs 9
supplemen tary mixture to help out
the early application.
The Crop Improvement Associa-
ton Is very DESTROYS of securing the
| cooperation Of a number of farmers
| on the island to test out commercial
fertilizing mixtures this season. The
office will agree to furnish the best
informs tion available for the proper
mixture for any crop, and to give
plans for applying and keeping rec
ords on the results. Any one who
thinks of undertaking anything OF
this sort is invited to call at the of.
flce of the association or to call up
the advisor on the phone.
The Portable Hog House.
One Of the farmers who called nj
the office the other day remarked to
me, Those portable hog houses Ger.

to explain that he was using them for

such cases by hanging lantern or
two in them. The portable house is
coming into general favor among
progressive hog raisers. Some Of it's
advantages are as follows:
1t Is cheap.
It requires little skill to construct,

Pile were made homeless by the floods
in Indiana and Ohio, and property
damage in both states will be at least
$1oo,ooo,ooo.
These figures were compiled late to-
day from reports received here from

Further reports may increase the num-
Der Of dead, and it is unlikely that any

expected.
An additional horror was reported
early this evening from Dayton. The
fire there, which seemed widespread
and probably uncomfortable in view of

FALLS AT LAST
INTO HANDS OF THE ALLIES
Turkish City Carried by Storm After Stubborn Defense
Defenders Destroy City Before Surrender-Tchatalja
Said to Have Fallen

London. March 26.-Adrianople has
fallen after one of the most stubborn
defenses in the history of warfare,
and Tchatalja, according to a tele
gram received by the Bulgarian lega-
ton at London tonight, has suffered
a like fate.
The information regarding Tchatal-
ia may refer to the town of that
name and not the Notifications, al
though it is possible the Bulgarians
carried all before them.
Shukri Pasha, the defender of
Adrianople, handed his sword to Cen
eral Savoff, the Bulgarian generalis-
simo, this afternoon, not, however,
before carrying out his threat to de-
stroy the town rather than let it fall
into the hands of the Bulgarians.
From all accounts the arsenals,
stores and much of the town are in
flames. 1t was reported also that
Shukri Pasha has taken his own life,
but this is believed untrue, as, de-
Gliding defense was no longer possi-

that he was burning the city.

flood at Piqua and so were drowned
at Troy according to C. C. Moore,

Moore said Piqua had been with
out food for a day and q half. Only
the west side of the city is above

Rescuers in boats chopped holes in
the roofs of houses and took out the
flood victims. Mr.. Moore saw scores
of bodies floating in the water. He
said that eight companies of militia
reached Piqua on the west side of the
city. The rescuers had only four
boats with which to work. Twenty
six houses were swept away as he

ored in indianapolis early today that
200 persons were drowned in West
indianapolis, but this number was later
reduced to IA, though it was estimated
early this evening that more than that
had died. South of Indianapolis the
flood is said to have caused death in
a number of small towns and villages.
Fire at Dayton added to the loss
caused by the flood. Early estimates
placing the damage in Ohio and In

show tonight double that amount.
Railroad officials we're authority for
the statement that lines convergins in

Railroads were chief sufferers from
property damage. 1t was said by en-

districts that stri ps of railroad more

away in several places through lndi-

their supports undermined, crumbed
