ASPARAGUS IN VERMONT
HartIand Harvested Remarkable
Crop This Year.

The possibilities of asparagus cul-
ture in Vermont, and particularly in
the White River valley, find telling
Illustration in the harvesting of a
present seasons crop grown on Hope
farm, an estate in the town of Hart
ford, now owned and cultivated by
William c. Renehan, a one-time Sc
lectman of Hartford, and well known
merchant in White River Junction.
1t was some six years ago that Mr..
Renehan engaged in farming and his
work included the planting of three
eighths of an acre to asparagus, and
the current seasons yield of this bed
was S65 pounds, or at the rate of
over 1900 pounds to the acre. In
New Jersey, where asparagus grow.
ing is a leading speciality, "A cutting
of from 1900 to 1000 pounds is re
garded as an extra yield
The cutting of Mr.. Renehan's pres
ent seasons crop began May s. and
was continued to July |. The prize
pound bunch of tile yield was one
consisting of freight nine-ineh stalks
Several punches were cut consisting
of only nine stalks to the pound, and
all this in a season decidedly unfay
orable to asparagus culture,
Mr. Renehan now has an entire
acre planted to asparagus this in onei
eighth acre strips. presumably for
convenience of cultivation. His plants
were grown from seed sowed on his
own farm and the young plants were
set in rows four and half feet
apart.

another evil ascribed to the entry
of women into the universities was
the so-called fictitious marriage, preva-
lent at the time. The Russian woman,
unless married, is not allowed TO leave
her home without the consent of her
parents and the authorities until she
is of age This was nearly always
fraught with difficulties, and to these
young girls, filled with wild enthusi-
asm TO continue their work, the wait
of a year or so seemed almost unbear-
able. So they married and in most
cases separated Immediately. never TO
meet again. The Russian law recog-
nizes no divorce-and this led to many
illegal unions, as in later life both
the man and the woman fell in love
and entered into relations which could
not obtain the sanction of the Church"
In spite Of the government closing
the doors of it's universities TO women,
said the professor, the agitation Tor
the education of women increased
alarmingly, and the government met
the demands half way by granting wom-
en- "gymnasiums." These were on the
lines of the high school here, which
allowed the women to matriculste from
them. but gave no opportunity OF tax
ing degrees for any profession. This
stem accentuated the situation, instead
of improving it, and in 1868 the women
of the intellectual classes began to en-
iorate to Switzerland, which was just
beginning to open her universities to
women.

one day prove serious menace to the
throne. The professor continued:

The Picnic Supper

Men always like cold meat at picnic
supper, and perhaps after a day Of
strenuous work little meat is adyis-
able. Cut two pounds of the neck or
flank of beef into small pieces, cover
with stock and simmer for three quar-
ters of an hour. Then add one tea
spoonful of salt, half of small onion,
one tablespoonful of tomato catsup and
quarter of a pod of red pepper
Cover the saucepan closely and sim
mer for one hour and half lcrger, or
until the meat is very tender. This
may also be prepared in the hreless
eooker) Put the meat, when drained,
through the meat chopper, pack it INFO
a mould. strain the liquor, which should
be boiled down, over it, and set the
mould in a cold place for twentyfour
hours. When firm cut in neat slices.
