Feeding Calves,

a friepd'of ours, who has great snccess in
raising calves on skinned milk and corn
pudding" adopts the following method -
He never let's the calf suck the COW, but
teaches it to drink out of a pail. Wh.u the
calf is three or four days old, he takes tea
cupful of corn-meal and rours pint of hot
water over it, stirs it up, an lets it scald for
a few minutes. He then pours on three or
four qurats Of skinned milk, or as much a.
the calf can drink. In the Ineautime he has
piece Of iron heating, Which, when red
hot, he stirs in the milk. This "scorching
the milk" he considers of the greatest impor
tance when calves are fed on skinned milk
it prevents it from securing the calve,
As tho calf grows older he increases th,
quantity Of corn meal When three week.
old, be gives a pint, at lea st, at each meal
The milk at first is only twelve hours from
milking, but as the calf grows older. the
milk may be allowed to stand - or SC hou,
before skimming. Gcaesee Farmer.

Field Beans-culture and Variety.


There are three varieties of white field
beans known to farmers and in the mark et.
They gclby different names in different To-
oalities. Burr designatos them as the Blue
Pod, Pea bean, and White Marrow. In
New York market they are called Medium,
Caxton, and Marrowfat The Blue Pod is
the common "white bean" of New England
and New York, and the Medium of Wash.
ington market. 1t is the earliest Of the
field beans, and particularly useful in filling
out where corn and other crops have failed.
Tho Pea, or Little White bean, is richer
smaller, more roundish, not quite SO early,
but producing equally good crops. Its small
size is against it in market, though its beau
tful white color is in Its favor. In so ia.
discriminating "a market as that of New
York, it sells lower than the first mentioned
kind. The White Marrow. Marrowfat,
White Egg, etc, is considerable larger than
either of the foregoing. Burr makes the
following statement in regard to the com.
paratige size Of these three sorts Of the
Pea bean, 1900, of the Blue Pod, 300, and
of the White Marrow, 1900 will FL quart.
The Marrow is not quite so sure crop in
wet seasons, owing to its tendency to run
90 that on good soil too highly manured
or too rich in ammoniacal matter or vegeta-
ble mould, the plants make too much to2
aud besrtoo little fruit. The soil best adap
ted TO beans is good loan or grayollv soil
which contains Il considerable portion of sol
uble mineral ingredients, but not much veg
stable and heterogeneous matter. The tiltf
should be'good, not necessarily deep, land
freedom from weeds is desirable. Unles!
there is danger of the crop running to vines
plant in drills two feet apart, and scatter
tho seed in the drill The practice of plant
ing in hills two feet apart each way, is goct
especially for the Marrowfat. The planting
should not be delayed after June 20sh as q

begin to dry, they are pulled up by the root
and stacked between stakes four to six fee
high, driven sx to eight iuches apart
pieces of wood or q few stones to keep the
bottom plants from the ground, Here they
are allowed to dry thoroughly, aud many o
the unripe pods mature and dry quite well

on the barn floor, ard fwel dried the cror
will be fit for market at once, or NAV be
kept for almost any length of time in dry
bins.
