 The asparagus crop is an important one. The question of what to use for fertilizer the coming season is even greater than formerly. The following from Charles W. Prescott. a large as- paragus grower il, Concord, Mass, and president of the Massachusetts aspar- agus growers association, cannot help but be of interest and assistance to those who have aspcrdgus:-
 T shall use as much manure as can afford, putting -t or areas not manured in, 1916. Then I use lots of hen manure, and it works well on asparagus. Last spring used several tons Of 4-8 with net potash. This helped out. This year I am going to use the manure and hen manure and sewage waste which I have tried now for several years in various ex- periments. The grease is extracted and the nitrifying bacteria are val uable asset.

Brush. stunps and Debris Should Be Destroyed as Well as Mumnied Fruit.

This is just fire time of year for farmers and orchardists- and every one who has trees to see to it that the or chard in the vicinity Of the trees is well cleane,!. There is an endless amount of brush, s:umps and other debris to be found near apple trees in the country. Everything that car bs burned should be gathered and de- stroyed in this way. There are many people who have not yet protectors around their young trees to, protect them from orchard rodents, field mice. -woodchucks, rabbits, etc If one does not care to buy zbuildIng paper for this purpose, it Is possible to mound up around the trunk several shovel fuls Of dirt, tamp it down so that IL will not wash or blow away easily. If one will not go to this effort, it is always adyisa ole to clean away all stubs from the vicinity of the trees, as stubs prove fine nesting place for these rodents.
 All stone fruit trees should be gone over and the mumnlied fruit gathered and destroyed. Mum.nied fruit carries over millions of spores of the brown not fungus. There is much eanlxer to be found in Hampden cornty orchards now, and this season. of the year when orchardists are not as busy as at oth,- CT times is a fine period for cutting out and cleaning up this trouble.

UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING
 IN SOME FORM NECESSARY
As Solution Of the Recruiting Problem
 for the Army and Navy.

Washington, Nov 29. - Universal military training in some form as the solution of the recruiting problem for the army and navy will be placed formally before congress during the coming session. if Chairman Chamber Is successful in carrying out his an nounced program.
 On his return to Washington today Senator Chamberlain said he would press vigorously his own bill for such training introduced last year. It is now before hls committee. which is expected to approve modified form of the plan, although the senate itself is not likely to act at this session.
 Senator Chamberlain said the virtual impossibi,ity of recruiting the army up to the peace strength authorized in the national defense act already had been demonstrated. Both army and navy recruiting service are corab:ng the. country for men, he declared, with little success. The army has been unable to obtain even the 20.090 addi- tional men provided for when the Mexican situation became acute, and the navy is making such slow progress with its increases that officials are perplexed.
 The Chamberlain bill would require military training of all boys between 12 and B years of age except those especially exempted. The active di- vision. composed of those between IS and 23 years, would be known as the citizen army, and the younger corps as the citizen cadet corps.
 Senator Chamberlain said the bill probably would be radically changed In committee and it's provisions great ly simplified in order to make it more workable.

are harder to control but very i'm : portant and both are fne results of too rapid rotting. Rottifig is retarded by keeping out the air, keeping manure moist, and keeping the pile covered. Hence, manure pile should be kept packed down and moist.
 Rotting breaks down the organic matter in both the manure and the bedding and helps change the plant food into available forms. Market gardeners want their manure routed so 1t will work more quickly, and this offsets the loss in value The place for manure to rot and work IS in the soil and the more it can be pre- vented from rotting beforehand the greater its value. Rotting combined with drainage and teaching represents all the bad habits manure can have.
 All these losses are occurring on ev- cry farm and probably loss of ] 5 to 20 per cent. is unpreventable. The Cornell Experiment Station has found that manure exposed in loose piles for six months through the spring and summer loses:

FARM MANURES,
How the Value of It is Lost and Car
 To a Certain Extent Be Stopped.


 The principal ways in which the value of farm manure is lost are: 1. Drainage. g.. Eeaching. 8. Heat ing and Fermenting.
 By drainage is meant the run off from stables. manure sheds and cell ars, It is very common indeed to find farm barnyards which have a drain : age ditch to carry off half the value of the manure pile. The barnyar os course, is not the place to store the liquid manure but instead of digging a ditch the farmer ought; to begin at the source of trouble and prevent drainage by making the cellar or shed tight and by using more bedding. This drainage from stables and manure piles always means a serious loss of potash. and nitrogen, as it is the li- quid portion which runs off It may be compared to a leak in the milk pail In fact the total loss may be greater. Can you afford it?
 By teaching is meant the seepage of water through manure. This is going on in every pile thrown out under the caves. Manure piled outside is always leached by the rains and the teaching is most serious during the summer months when rotting is more rapid If anyoneneeds proof of the joss of value in this way he should notice how wonderfully weeds gfow where manure has been piled and left even for short time. There is no place on the farm where man can rob his manure pile faster or more surely than under the caves on the south side of the barn.
 Both drainage and teaching remove the most soluble and readily avail able part of the manure, as well as the most valuable. These are the soluble potash and nitrogen com pounds. Are you willing to have your dollars run off into the brook 3
