Eatsin. TURKEYS

The turkey is the most tender when
young, and most difficult to raise of all
the domestic fowls; yet with proper
care in setting the eggs under game
hens and coping the brood at night
regularly, while the turkeys are young,
they may be easily reared in great
abundance. Never feed the young tur-
keys boiled eggs or corn meal dough,
or wheat bread crumbs. They need
very little food of any kind under seven
days of age, and should have nothing
but sour milk set in pans. At about a
week or ten days give them also wheat
screenings or crumbs soaked in sour
milk Let this be their only feed till
they begin to feather, and then give
them grain of any kind. Tie the hen
(which has the young turkeys to peg
off to herself, with coop near by her
so that she can enter at night to roost.
At two weeks old let the hen loose to
roam, and if she is a game hen she Will
do the work of rearing the brood.

anagenent of Asuara gus

Every asparagus bed should be top
dressed with stable manure in late au-
tumn. But when this important OPP
Grafton has been neglected, the surface
of the bed should be forked over, at
any time in the winter when the ground
can be worked, and dressing of rich
manure spread over the surface, say two
or three inches deep. Care should be
exercised, in forking the soil, not to
tear up and muhlate the roots of the
asparagus. When weeds and grass be
gin to start in the spring, rake off all
the manure and scatter salt of any kind
over the bed. until the surface appears
white. There is little danger of APP
plying too much salt to asparagus.
One can procure salt of an inferior
quality for such a purpose. Brine of
any kind may be poured over the sur
face of the bed If weeds and grass
appear, after the lapse of few weeks,
apply another dressing of salt. The
productiveness of new beds of aspara-
gus is frequently injured, seriously, by
cutting the shoots too soon, too fire.
quently, and too long in the season.
New beds should be allowed to get well
rooted before any of the asparagus is
gathered A bed of strong roots can
not be produced, without the tops are
allowed to develop

NEW BUSINESS, 1870

By this we observe that its business for 1870
reached the enormous figure of $40, 295, 799,
being $1,000 900 larger than that of any COM
pany in the world.
The Equitable is a mutual company, on the
cash basis, making annual returns to it's policy
holders of all the profits which arise in the
course of its business.
The mention of one very favorable feature
must not be omitted-we refer to the ability
of its agents and the courtesy of its officers.
by which every required information connect
ed with Life Assurance can be readily obtain
ed. The executive of this company can al
ways be easily approached, and this tends
much to its popularity.
1t is thus easy to understand why the Equit
able has reached its present prominence.
Starting from the first day of its organization,
under the best auspices, IN 1865 there were
but FOUR companies that wrote larger amount
of new insurance; in 1867, but THREE az
1868, but TWO; in 1869, the Equtable's tran
maintained its supremacy, as the table gwen
above shows. By this time it had issued over
60, 900 policies, insuring more than $3.50 DOC, 900
We are not aware whether the Equitable Life
Assurance Company is represented here or not,
but we would strongly recommend those de-
slrous of working in the field of Life Assur-
ance, to place themselves at once in commune
cation with the home office, with the view of
acting for them as agent, as there is, perhaps,
no other company that could offer better in
ducements.

Flowers Around the Dairy House.

At recent meeting of the Dairy
mems Association of Illinois. Presi-
dent King remarked that he mad been
a dealer in butter for thirty years, and
considered that May, June and July
produced the best, if properly put
down. Butter containing whey or milk
will not keep. 1t should be made dry,
come hard, and be properly cured.
Most people salt too high. 1t should
be sailed to the palate, and 1t will
keep. All excess of this kind is injurious
The milk, cream and surroundings in
the butter room should be pure, as
foul odors are certain to impart disa-
greeable flavor. Mr.. King stated that
he knew man to plant honeysuckle S
and roses around the place where his
butter was made, to give it an agree
able flavor This was a pleasant con-
ceit, and the effect on the diary can
not have been otherwise than favor

1t is evident that just now there is no sub
ject more full of interest to the public than
Life Insurance, and nothing that concerns
them more than the merits of the various Life
companies in the United States.
In reviewing the career of these institutions,
we have been much struck with the extraordi-
nary onward progress of the Equitable Life of
New York. and the marked success which has
attended the management of its affairs; and
we feel that we are doing a positire good by
giving in brief detail the points which critic
it to the first consideration of the insuring

sition in respect to the aln ount of New annual

A subscriber of the American Agri-
culturlst, IN Pennsylvania, who has
hitherto been a mechanic. has bought
seven acres of land that have been In
grass and not plowed for twenty years
He wants to raise fruits, to keep two
COWS, and proposes to raise cabbages,
etc, to feed them on. He has had mo
experience In working in the soil, and
has to depend on books and papers for
information We would not discour-
age him, but he must not expect to OBJ
tain large crops the first season. His
first aim should be to get the land I'M
der-drained, clean and rich Buy
clover hay and bran for the cows This
will make good milk and rich manure.
Compost this manure and any other
material that can be obtained, with
bone-dust. IN the meantime break up
portion of the grass land, and pillow it
and work it two or three times, and
next spring put on the manure at the
rate OF twenty tons per acre, and pillow
IT in and harrow thoroughly. The land
will then be ready for anything. For
cabbages use about 800 Tbs of super
phosphate to the acre Keep the land
constantly stirred, and good crop
may be expected. The probabilities
are, however, that the cabbages will be
worth more to sell than to feed out. If
SO, sell them and buy clover hay, bran,
oil-cake, ETC., for the cows. It must
be your constant aim to make a rich
manure. You can do nothing on a
small farm without it. With it, and
clean culture, you can do everything
