Diet of the Ancients.

The difference between the diet of
the ancients and that of us moderns is
very striking. The ancient Greeks and
Romans used no alcoholic liquors, it
being unknown to them; nor coffee, nor
tea, nor chocolate, nor sugar, nor even
butter, for Galen tells us that he had
seen butter but once in his life. They
were ignorant of the greater number of
our tropical spices, as Glove, nutmeg,
mace, ginger, Jamaica pepper, curry,
pimento. They used neither buck
wheat nor French beans, nor spinach,
nor sage, tapioca, arrowroot, nor the
potato or its varieties not even the
common, but sort of marsh grown
bean; not many of our fruits-as the
orange, tamarind, nor American maize.
On the contrary, they ate substances
which we now neglect-the mallow, the
herb, ox-tongue, the sweet acorn, the
lupin. They liked the flesh of wild
asses, dogs, the dormouse, the fox and
the bear.

By this we observe that it's business for 1870
reached the enormous figure of $40, 295, 799,
being 81, 600, 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 it's business.
The mention of one very favorable feature
must not be omitted-we refer to the ability
of it's agents and the courtesy of it's officers,
by which every required information connect
ed with Life Assurance can be readily obtain
ed. The executive bf this company can al
ways be easily approached, and this tends
much to it's popularity.
1t is thus easy to understand why the Equit
able has reached it's present prominence.
Starting from the first day of its organization,
under the best auspices, an 1866 there were
but FOUR companies that wrote larger amount
of new insurance; IN 1867, but THREE ; In
1868, but TWO; IN 1869, the Equitables tran
sactions were the largest and in 1870, it still
maintained its supremacy, as the table given
above shows. By this time it had issued over
$4,000 policies insuring more than $3.50, 900 900
We are not aware whether the Equitable Life
Assurance Company is represented here or not,
but we would strongly recommend those de-
sirous of working in the field of Life Assur
ance, to place themselves at once in communi-
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 a recent meeting of the Dairy
mems Association of Illinois, Presi-
dent King remarked that he had been
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 salted to the palate, and it 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
and roses around the place where his
butter was made, to give it an agree
able favor. This was pleasant con-
celt, and the effect on the diary can
not have been otherwise than favor
able.

Management of Asparapus

Every asparagus bed should be top
dressed with stable manure in late au-
tumn. But when this important op-
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 mutilate the roots of the
asparagus. When weeds and grass be-
GIN to start in the spring, rake off all
the manure and scattersalt of any kind
over the bed, until the surface appears
white. There is little danger Of an
plying too much salt to asparagus.
One can procure salt of an inferior
quality for such 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.

Raising 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
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.
