GO on
I have said nearly all know said /.
The young couple were married and
though Mary deeply felt her separation
from her parents, she was devotsdly at

mother last saw her, it was At her own
house, by the side of the husband she a
dored, and her face was as beautiful aud
her laugh as merry as ever
+ Mrs. Saunders was silent for a moment,
and then said, II was thinking OF Lucy
Summers marriage this morning when you
saw me SO deeply affected. Like her The
bride is married 10 soldier--like her she
wept al leaving her parents roof. Ohthat
the silnilitnde may end there Lucy SUM
nlers became an early widow. For weeks,
Tor months she watched by the bedside oi
a dying husbaild--wiihout hope she saw
him linger, and at-length he died in her
arms
The old ladybecame much agitated, aud
when she paused, I said,
Yon knew her well, il seems, and must
sympathise with iler.i It's fortunate, how
ever, that misfortune fell upon one of her
cheerful dispnsition--so buoyant. SO elas-
tic, as my mother said, that though deeply
afflicted ty her FUSS, she doubtless has long
since rallied
The pale, wrinkled, detected, desolate
old woman before me, removed her hand
kerchief from her eyes, and in a faltering
voice exclaimed--'I sO0s Lucy Summers !
On tile Culture Of Garden Beans.---I
have been very successful for half a dozen
years In obtaining two crops of beans from
the plants. In the summer Of 1926, my
FIRST crop Of magazin and early long pod
beans was by a strong and violent wind
blown down; this was done when the beans
were in full blossom. The crop FROM the
blossoms which the plants then possessed
was very fine and abundant, and gathered
during July. In three weeks after the
beans were Frustrated, each stem put forth
from near the root one or more, in some in
stances four 10 six, fresh stems; these
bloomed freely, and produced an abundant
crop, which were gathered during fSeptem-
Der. Since that grew, / have uniformly
bent down, so as TO break the stalk near
the root, my first and second cropsofbeans;
/ have by this means obtained four crops
of beans from two sowings, and which sup-
piled me from July 1st'to 5lst Octobcr.-
By this method only half the seed was re-
quired which had been accustomed to
use, and the greatest advantage to me was,
that only half the ground was required. SO
that my advantages by this nieihodare four
fold. always pinch out the tops when
tho plants are in full bloom this throws
the vigor into the production of fruit in
stead Of a continued increase of stem and
foliage. Cob6ctt.
Canada IN;stle.-Mr. Goodscll: Hav-
ing seen communication in the Farmer,
over the signature C. dated Woodland,
Dec. 16, 1883, recommending, as the most
sure method of extirpating the Canada
Thistle from our soil, TO plough the ground,
and sow i. with large red clover. which he
recommends To have moved the first and
second years without feeding il, after which
the land may be ploughed and sowcd with
wheat, when ii win be found that the roots
Of the thistlcs are perfectly destroyed, SO
far as regards vegetation. Having myself
practised method very similar with COM
plcte success, !. was forcibly struck with the
propriety and accuracy Of his remarks. l
cannot account for the destruction of the
thistle i'm this case, otherwise than that the
clover grows earlier and more luxnriantly
than the thistle, and by overwhelming it,
the thistle " kept in . dwarfish and sickly
state, until The clover is mown, at which
time the stalks Of the thistle will he found
hollow, and having Whitish, sickly appear
ance, they will not Immediately send up
young shoots, unless the clover is fed off.
1t is advisable to NOW them in warm clear
day, and remove the crop Immediately that
the sun may shine directly upon the cnia-
ciated stalks, which will not only, relard
their growth, but accelerate their destruc-
ton. have written the above as the re-
suit OF my experience, and feel confident
that any person who is troubled with Cam
ada this,les, may adopt the course recom-
mended by your correspondent G. without
fear Of disappointment. JOSEPH EDDY.
