AGRIOULTURI. MAKING ASPARAGUS 13Es8.-If yOU preler to begin at the beginning, ob tait the seed as early in the spring as possible and sow In wide drills, say ive tnches apart, about as soon as peas ire sow n. Kteep) the soil inellow and the weeds ttestroyed, and in the an tutinn, if the soil is very good, you will have one-year-old plaits plent,y large enough to set out. But one-year-old plants are generally rather small, and unany prefer to let them renmal ii In the seed-bed until the second year. "An ounce of seed is sullleient for about twent,y-livo feot of drill. In making a bed for the plants select a good mellow soil, and itake It deep and rich. A bed of the kind once made will keep in good condition for halt a century or more, so the work should be well done. '.t lie beds should be sufliolently narrow to allow of their being cut to the cen r0 without being trod upon. Set the ,ltnts not. less than twelye inches .ipart in the clear, spreading the roots out ntiturially, anti not crowding thenm it to too small a space, and deep enoutgh that the top or crown of the plant will be about three laches below ground. In reinoving the weeds take care not to Injure the young shoots, it, being al ways best to do the work by pulling out the weeds by hand. Salt Is anl ex cellent inaniure for asparagis, and may be used with such freedoin as to keep the weeds pretty well subdued without further troub'e. If strong, two-year old plants are .M, a few shoots may be cut the year Iiuer. The part, used is the young slot.:, whiclh coinmence to appear in enrty spring, aid shoul be cut when five or six lnclics in height, and~~ when the hiead is close and fIrn-I. Take thei from a little below the sur face, with at slope-iett. It 1s not, best to continue the cull lag nntil liate in the season, unless the shoots should lie unumally strong. At, the close of the season the tops shOuld be allowed to grow and bear iced. When the seeds are tipo, cut tie stallks close to the ground, and Eover the bed with a few inches of ninnre, raking offi the coart"ser portion of tihe man12re the fol lowing spring when lie tspr iagus will be again ready Ior another spring's work. iiatcniinot" WIn.: lF]NeU.-Within 1a few weeks we have talked to several of our readers relative to. the barbed wire fence, and the almost un iversal opinion is that it is objectionable on accouit of Its severity, that It is ugly to handle and very liable to in jure stock.

An old merchant whose business ex periences and observations extend over a period exceeding lialf a century, is tuthority for the assertion that "m'oney made by speculation is nearly invari ably lost in the same way, and that all great and lasting commercial stccesses have been auhlevet by steady adher ence to legitimate methods and six per cont. interest." The general policy of the New York Lffe Insurance Company would seem to have been fashioned after some such ultra-conservative but prosaic model, for this ancient corpora tion claims to hold rigidly to accepted methods and beaten paths. One happy restlt of this careful poliey is observed in Its excomption from vicissitudes. Tile entire accuntlations were, in 1873, twenty-four millions, and the surplus less than three and a half millions of tiollars; these figures are at the end of .seven years, the worst ever known in the history of life insurance, respec tively thirty-nitie millions and seven millions, and ever since that date the receipts for interest alone have exceed ed the atmount of death claims. There were issued (luring the past year llye thousand live hund red and twenty-four policies, insuring something more thaud seventeen millions of dollars. This nutmber and amount couldi no doubt, have been exceeded had the company been willing to inoui' additional ex pense. 'L'he object seems to have been to keep the amount at risk up to the usual mark at $127,500,000, and enable the company to hold its own until a better as-urane of a general business revival encouraged a fus ther expatision, for titis conipany's special'ty is safety aiot displav.
