ASPARAGUS CULTURE.
1t Calls for Lots Of fPainstaking Work
But the Reward in Dollars II
Usually Satisfactory.

To make an asparagus bed in the
spring get two-year-old roots and place
them three feet apart in the rows, the
rows to be five feet apart. They will
soon fill up all the spaces in the rows.
The first work should be done now, if
the ground can be worked. Make
trenches three feet deep. A. trench
100 feet long will be sufficient to sup
ply an ordinary family. Fill the trench
with fresh horse manure two feet deep
and scatter 50 pounds of bone meal
and so pounds of sulphate of potash
on the manure. Put on few inches
of dirt and trample the mass. Then
add more dirt until within 1S inches
of the top. Leave it until spring and
set out the roots, covering them, which
will leave them in the ground 10 inches
below the surface, filing up the sur
face. Soapsuds may be poured in the
row. from time to time during the
winter. A row thus prepared will give
cuttings for rs years.-Troy IN. ~

MILLIONS FROM AN IDEA.
But His Success Through Life Insur-
ance Has Not Changed John
#. Dryden.

A woman writer in Success tells
how John F. Dryden became a mil
lionaire by carrying out one idea-the
theory that life insurance should be
as cheap as any other good thing in
life. She says:
"The story of how he did it is full
of suggestion. Without a dollar of
money capital to begin with, with a
single great idea in his mind, and
with perfect faith and confidence in
it's practicability, this pioneer concen-
trated all his talents, industry and
will-power in the endeavor to make
that idea successful. When he began
work there were regularly insured in
the United States a fraction over
500, 900; now there are on the books
of the ordinary and industrial COM
panies the names of about 100000
policy-holders. A marked feature of
it all is that his success has not in
the slightest degree altered or
changed the native modesty and sim
plicity of Mr.. Dryden's character. So
far as this is concerned, he is to-day
the same quiet, unassuming gentle
man that he was more than a score Of
years ago."

Adv.ntase. OF Dr.in.~.

Drainage affords the conditions
which favor perfect termination,
speedy development and complete ma
turity. It admits free circulation
of air and moisture in the soil and
makes possible both animal and vege-
table life. It breaks down and mellows
stiff and otherwise untillable soil. It
induces chemical action to take place
in the land and thus prepares plant
food. It admits q deeper root growth
and gives awider range from which to
draw sustenance for the plant. It
makes it possible to secure greater
benefits from the application Of both
yard and commercial manures. It re-
duces injury to wheat and other CROPS
from freezing. It 1engthens the time
Of tillage and renders cultivation pos
sible when it would be out of the oues-
ton if undrained National Rural.

TEACH CALVES TO LEAD.
DR.. Gnlen Wilson Relates an Inciilen n
Containing u Lesson for Every
Dairyman.

Did you ever think what it would
be worth to you if you could put a
rope or halter on any cow on your
place and lead her off like a horse?
DR.. Galen Wilson gives his experience
along this line to Practical Farmer
readers as follows:
Seeing a man driving a cow along
the street the other day and she dodg-
ing into every opening in the fence
along the way, and the man worry
ing, fretting, using harsh language
and casting a stone at Her occasion
ally to get her back on the street
again, reminds me of the very first
lessons I had in "cow culture
My good old "pater" kept dairy
of ten COWS always, and raised the
cows himself. When young lad he
gave me a dollar each for teaching
the calves to be led. 1t was only fun
for me and I thought him very lib
eral. Later, I saw him sell COW to
a neighbor for $40 and he told him
plainly that "were not the COW so
nice to be led should charge you
but $35; but now she is worth all !
ask you, and for that reason"
Knowing that had taught the COW
to be led and received only dollar
for the service, thought at the time
that my parent on my fathers side,''
as Artemus Ward said, had been
rather sharp and mercenary in his
dealings with me and got five dollars
for his one dollar investment.
But in this age of maintaining less
and less fences, it certainly adds five
to ten dollars to the value of good
COW to have her taught to be led;
and most cows have to be driven OF
led singly sometimes, somewhere.
Teach the calf to be led and when
she's q cow she will not depart from
the early teaching.
