Asparagus Culture. There it no easier vegetable to grow and beds, when once established, if properly tended, yield more and pay better each season. As a long-distance shipping vegetable it ranks among the very best. The plain truth is this—it makes money for the grower, yields a profit for the middle man, and, most of all, pleases the consumer. This grower's methods are as follows: Variety and size to plant—We regard the Columbian mammoth white as the most satisfactory variety in cultivation. Not only are the stalks of the largest size, but they are produced abundantly and very early. They are nearly clear white in early growth and remain so in favorable weather until 3 or 4 inches high. This sort commands an extra price, not only on a fancy market, but from canners who find that when put up under a special brand it sells so readily at a higher price as to warrant them in paying the grower an extra price for growing it. We prefer to use only well-grown two-year-old stock. Soil.—The soil on which asparagus plants are transplanted must be made very rich. From 100 to 200 loads of rich stable manure to the acre—well plowed in—makes a good start for a good crop. Select a good sandy loam sloping to the south if possible. The ground should be plowed as deep as possible and furrowed off from 4 to 5 feet apart. Ground thus fitted enables the roots to take hold at once, which is of great importance, as the more strength and size gained on the roots each year places you that much ahead and enables you to secure a good profit from your bed the second season after planting. How to Plant.—We usually set the plants in early spring, as soon as the ground can be worked, 18 inches apart in the furrows which have previously been prepared, with the rows 4 feet apart. It will require 8000 plants to properly plant an acre. It requires a little more time to set the roots in proper shape, but it pays. The roots should be spread apart not bunched. The crown should be covered with 4 inches of earth. By shallow planting crops come earlier than if planted deeper. After planting has been done the ground should be properly leveled and good cultivation given throughout the season. The bed should be well cleaned every autumn and salted at the rate of one barrel of salt to the acre, as this stimulates the roots and retards the weeds. A good dressing of manure should also be given every fall. Conservation. The measurements of this survey have shown that during each year great volumes of water run to waste, much of which could be held by storage in natural reservoir sites already surveyed or believed to exist among the high mountains and upon Government land. In order to utilize these sites, whether by the individual or by the community, it is necessary to continue and extend accurate surveys and obtain correct information as to location, capacity, and probable cost of construction. REQUISITES FOR SUCCESS. In estimating the possible use or value of various reservoir sites there are many considerations which must be borne in mind. Some of these modify if they do not completely prevent, the utilization of the reservoir. Remarks have already been made upon the fact that financial failure is not incompatible with the success of a reservoir in other ways. That is to say, a reservoir may be of very great benefit, returning to the community many times its first cost, and yet not pay its owners. Without dwelling upon this detail, it is necessary to consider some of the conditions which must be fulfilled in order to result in the reclamation of arid lands. In almost every locality a number of places are pointed out as being suitable for water conservation. Hundreds of these have been examined, and comparatively few have been found worthy of survey. As a rule, inspection shows that the capacity of the basin is too small for the height of the proposed dam; or, in other words, that the slope of the bottom of the reservoir is too great. This is the most common source of error, as very few people appreciate the rapid slope of upland valleys. To hold water in some of these would require a dam so high as to be entirely out of the question. Favorable conditions for the creation of a dam are also necessary. In occasionally happening there is to close a basin of siltstone capillary, the length of the dam will be so enormous as to be impracticable; in other cases the foundation must be placed in unconsolidated or fractured material, necessitating excavations of great depth. Some of the gorges draining valleys have been at a previous time excavated below their present surface, and the filling of sand and gravel extends to extraordinary depth. Where the combination of ample capacity and a good locality for a dam exists, it may happen that there is not sufficient tributary watershed to furnish an ample supply for filling the reservoir each year. Many of the best valleys, or marshes, exist so near the summits of the mountains that there is not a sufficient catchment area. In such try. He has honors to spare, a salary for life of $13,500 a year, whether he afloat or ashore, and if war comes again, the place he holds is what he be termed a snap by politicians. Cousin George has earned it all. If he likes dignified ceremonials will have them to his heart's contour. When he goes to inspect a vessel of fleet, he will be received by all those flicers of the vessel in full uniform with crew at quarters and marine parades. Once on the deck, the drill will roll and the guns will roar. If he leaves his ship at night, lights will be hung perpendicularly to the peak. Some men might object such an announcement of their boat out for an evening, but an admiral never. He selects his own staff and makes as large as he wishes. He has a private cabin, where he alone. He has a private cook, a priesteward, and two boys are ready to eat at his back and call. The greatest on his purse will be to buy cups saucers and plates for the table service government not providing any miral with crockery. He is furnished with a kitchen stove. George Dewey can rout the band of bed at any hour of the night, command the musicians to play his sleep with the strains of the "Stars Stripes Forever." He has power to sentence death any sailor in the fleet, under certain circumstances. He is in position to commit acts might plunge this country into with a foreign nation. He must wear good clothes. His uniform will have on the collar of coat four silver stars and two foul chors in gold. On each sleeve will a strip of gold embroidered oak leaf. The shoulder straps will have four ver stars and two foul anchors of gold. The dress sword belt will be of blue cloth, edged with gold and broidered with oak leaves. While remains in the tropical Philippines naval regulations require that theirmiral must wear white pantaloons, like the other officers of inferior grade. George Deway will haul down blue rectangle with the four wrist stars some day in the future, when relinquishes the command of the Aftile fleet, and then the guns will be seventeen times. He will return United States, and if he comes way of Frisco will have a triumph journey across the continent to Winston. Relieved of duty afloat, he will probably take up his residence at the national capital, nominally the head some board of inspection, but rest with nothing to do but to enjoy life his own sweet will. Being under secretary of the navy, the secret in the furrows which have previously been prepared, with the rows 4 feet apart. It will require 8000 plants to properly plant an acre. It requires a little more time to set the roots in proper shape, but it pays. The roots should be spread apart not bunched. The crown should be covered with 4 inches of earth. By shallow planting crops come earlier than if planted deeper. After planting has been done the ground should be properly leveled and good cultivation given throughout the season. The bed should be well cleaned every autumn and sailed at the rate of one barrel of salt to the acre, as this stimulates the roots and retards the weeds. A good dressing of manure should also be given every fall. Bleaching.—The young shoots can be bleached and made extremely tender by covering with straw or leaves, and I would suggest that planters give this mode of bleaching at least a trial, as it is a worthy method. How to Cut.—Use a sharp knife and cut even with ground. Late cutting is not advised; as the roots will become exhausted if the shoots are not allowed to develop. Remember the leaves are the lungs of the plant. Bunching.—The sprouts should be of good size when cut. Arrange in bunches 8 inches across butt end. After they have been neatly cut and tied place the butts of the branches in trays of water 1 inch deep, taking care to keep the tops dry. This prepares them for their journey to market, and they arrive in nice condition when they are handled in this way. Packing.—Use a light, new, clean case that will hold about two dozen bunches. Stencil your name on each case, for if your aspirasag please the purchaser your stock will always be in great demand and command a higher price than that which is poorly grown or badly packed.

Reservoir Sites. Continued from First Page. be built, but probably this can not be done with direct financial profit. The great body of the public lands has not yet been examined in detail, but as fast as means will permit reservoir surveys are conducted on a small scale. These should be extended whenever practicable. The United States is still the owner of one-third of its area, exclusive of Alaska—an area three times as great as the thirteenth original States. This one third contains not only great resources in mineral and grazing, but also immense tracts of rich agricultural lands capable of supporting a population of many millions wherever sufficient water can be had. The utilization of this public land or any considerable portion of it, and the development of the resources of the western half of the country are practically at a length of the dam will be so enormous as to be impracticable; in other cases the foundation must be placed in unconsolidated or fractured material, necessitating excavations of great depth. Some of the gorges draining valleys have been at a previous time excavated below their present surface, and the filling of sand and gravel extends to extraordinary depth. Where the combination of ample capacity and a good locality for a dam exists, it may happen that there is not sufficient tributary watershed to furnish an ample supply for filling the reservoir each year. Many of the best valleys, or marshes, exist so near the summits of the mountains that there is not sufficient catchment area. In such cases it is sometimes possible to divert water from one or more upper-drainage basins, and by flumes and tunnels to concentrate this into the desired reservoir site. On the other hand, the reservoir may be so situated as to have a catchment area too great for safety. This is particularly the case where a dam is located upon a main drainage line receiving storm waters from many square miles. A cloud-burst or general storm waters may send down a flood of such dimensions as to fill the reservoir and overtop the dam, washing it away, if of earth, as was the case at the time of Johnstown flood. To meet such emergencies there must be opportunity for the construction of enormous wasteways around the dam, or, if these can not be built, the dam itself must be made of such substantial masonry that water can pour over its top, as has been the case with the Sweetwater dam of Southern California. Although the dam and the wasteways may be of such character as to withstand the onset of any flood, there is still another danger to be guarded against, and that is the bringing down of vast quantities of sand, gravel and clay, which are dropped in the comparatively still water behind the dam, thus gradually filling the reservoir and destroying its usefulness. There is no economical method of cleaning out a reservoir of large size, and when once filled that work must probably be abandoned. As a safeguard against floods and against silting up of the reservoir, attempts are made wherever practicable to find sites upon smaller tributaries and to conduct water to these from the main stream by means of large diversion canals. In this way the flood waters can be received with safety, as their quantity is restricted by the capacity of the canal, most of the silt is dropped on the way and disposed of by means of various well-known engineering devices. From a consideration of these and other qualifications it is apparent that out of the large number of reservoirs examined very few can be expected to possess the elements of success. Thus it is necessary to go over the country with considerable thoroughness and to consider many questions before it is possible to point out the localities where the largest results can be obtained with a reasonable expenditure. It is this fact—that good reservoir sites are scarce—that renders it imperative to push forward the reconnoissance map of the West, and to follow this detailed examinations by which it is possible to point out the localities where construction work may be attempted with reasonable assurance. In California there are two systems of reservoirs whose need is most urgent—those within the high Sierras, on head waters of streams flowing into San Joaquin Valley; and those in Southern California, in the high mountains from which the Santa Ana, San Gabriel and other rivers issue. George Dewey will haul down blue rectangle with four stars some day in the future, relinquishes the command of A trod fleet and then the guns will be seventeen times. He will return to the United States, and if he comes way of Frisco will have a trumpet journey across the continent to Washington. Relieved of duty affloat, he will probably take up his residence at the national capital, nominally the head some board of inspection, but re- with nothing to do but to enjoy life his own sweet will. Being under secretary of the navy, the secret might, if so inclined, give him an pleasant assignment at some seale rate navy yard, but the American plee would raise the roof if spite was dictated by such action. Porter, the former admiral, remitted his hime to himself from August 15, 1870 till the day of his death, February 1891. George Dewey, wildower, with an ary of $13,500 a year instead of $12 keeping baachelor quarters in Wington, surrounded by a coterie of genial friends of his profession, belong by his countrymen generally, may expected to pass his latest years in fort and without care—Boston Glenn.

Today in the far-away bay of Manila George Dewey hoisted to the peak on board the Olympia a blue rectangle with four white stars, showing that he was an admiral of the United States navy. The officers of the flagship were all in full dress. The crews of all the vessels of the fleet were at quarters. The marines paraded on the decks. The band played and salutes of seventeen guns were fired by the Americans, the Englishmen, the Japanese and the Germans. The United States has not possessed an admiral since David Dixon Porter, the hero of New Orleans; Vicksburg and Fort Fisher, died in 1891. Porter was raised to that high grade after the death of the only other United States admiral, Farragut, in 1870. No wonder George Dewey does not care to be president of his native country where the largest results can be obtained with a reasonable expenditure. It is this fact—that good reservoir sites are scarce—that renders it imperative to push forward the reconnoissance map of the West, and to follow this by detailed examinations by which it is possible to point out the localities where construction work may be attempted with reasonable assurance. In California there are two systems of reservoirs whose need is most urgent—those within the high Sierra, on the head waters of streams flowing into San Joaquin Valley; and those in Southern California, in the high mountains from which the Santa Ana, San Gabriel and other rivers issue. In the high Sierras reservoir surveys have been made as described in detail in the Thirteenth Annual Report, Part III, pages 398 to 405. Estimates for various types of dams are given, showing a range in cost under various conditions. For example, at Kennedy's Meadow reservoir, on the head waters of the Stanislaus River, the cost of an earthwork embankment is given as $46,000 and of a masonry dam of the same height as $128,000. The most pressing need of reservoirs, however, is probably on the head waters of Kings River. In Southern California many surveys have been made by the State and private parties, the detailed estimates obtained not being available for publication. Much of the country has been mapped by the topographers, and the area of the watershed outlined, giving facts as to the probability of obtaining a supply of water for the reservoirs. The most important site is probably on or near the head waters of the Santa Ana River, and the second in importance is on the San Gabriel River. DEWEY'S PROMOTION.

Editor Tribune—Stockholder in last week's Tribune says Anaheim buys less than one-third of the water from the A.U.W.company. For the convenience of the majority of stockholders and consumers, as also for the interest of the company itself, the office ought to be removed to Fullerton. Why should the tall waggle the dog any longer? It's only a question of a few years at best that Anaheim can delay the matter. Such a step is urgently necessary. Anaheim secured the location of the office of the water company simply because there was no other place to locate it in. For years past it has been urged many times that the publications and printing be given to the lowest bidder in the territory covered by the company, but the pernicious influence of the present organ of the company has always prevented such a business step, that it is common rumor that certain directors are afraid of the vile, blackmailing GAZETTE. How long will this last? Probably as long as Anaheim holds the office. How much has this cost the stockholders annually? Will the directors exert themselves to make one grand effort to correct this long existing abuse.

A story is of General Shafter which illustates the punotilio of the regulars in his regard. At a certain frontier post at which safter, who then held an inferior rank, is commander many years ago, a dis­session arose among several officers as the exact time of day. A captain, with his watch in his hand, said: "It is now exactly 8 o'clock." "Oh, no!" said a lieutenant. "By my time it's eight minutes past 8." A third young officer drew his watch at his pocket. "I know my time is exactly right," he said, "and my watch two minutes past 3." At this juncture Major Shafter looked his silver watch. "I don't know what your watches say," he remarked, "but I wish you to understand that in this command it is five minutes past 3."

Center St opp.Kruger Block Fruit Prospects. The Agricultural Department has issued a bulletin in which the statement appears that the orange crop of Florida and most of the orange orchards of that State were ruined by the February blizzard, and that the county must depend upon California for the greater part of its domestic orange supply. Touching the disaster to tree growth, the only orchard reported to have been saved from harm was one of 100 trees in Southern Florida, which had been protected by sheet-iron heating pipes about each trunk. This bulletin, which is based upon official examinations of the Southern orange belt, may be accepted with a confidence which will permit investors to safely increase the area of orange culture in California with a view to the ultimate absorption of the domestic market. Another finding of the department which is of special interest to fruit growers of this State is that the blizzard destroyed the prospects of the Eastern peach crop except in a few small "spots" along the Blue Ridge range of mountains. There will be noaches worth mentioning in New Jersey, Connecticut and Delaware, and even the crop of Georgia is a failure. The "Georgia Peach King," as the heaviest Southern grower of the fruit called, sent a hundred carloads of peaches from one orchard last year. This year he thinks he will not ship a single carload. Again the Agricultural Department states that the fresh peach market must look to California for its supplies, where, as yet, the prospects for a fair crop are satisfactory. Considering the increase of acreage and the timely rain, we ought to produce this year not less than 30,000,000 pounds of peaches. Last year, owing to the drought, the product fell to 200,000,000 pounds, as against 27,150,000 pounds in 1897 and 30,540,000 pounds in 1894. But whatever the figures may be for 1899, the crop is bound to realize the highest prices in years and to carry with it a good price for apricots.
