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.

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. There

Ax lnglllish ofilcer exchanged into an
other regiment, bringing with him the
reputation of being marvelously st
cessftul at a bet. "Ahdl" said his now
colonel; "ho won't get any success Out
of me, I'll warrant.;" and he wrote the
follow's fortner colonel, an old. friend :
"Wo like him very much." "Ilad you
do, old boy; keep him. Wefound him
too expensive a luxury,"- was the reply.
One day at mess the colonel good-hum

always to win a bet.'' "Well, sir l'm
pretty successful in that way.'i "I
don't, think you would succeed with
me.'' "lay I t ry ?" asked the subal

I bet you, sir, that the old wound int
your back las broken out afresh."
"Whit in the world do you mean ? Old
wound in my back? Do yon think I
ever turnedI my back on the onomy,
then ?'? and the gallant colonel grew
warn ; "I never had a wound in my
life I Jones I" (to a cornet) "lock the

The other protested that the colo..el's
simple word was more than enough ;
but no ! the latter was excited, -and

New York Life Insurance Compaany.
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
