Tn Salt River.

The Frankfort Yeoman explains the
slang phrase "rowed up Salt river" as
having originated in the lynching of a
till thief in Shepardsville. KY, on that
classic stream. The detected thief, a
broken down shoemaker, was "rowed
up" the river to small island ut the
junction of Jefferson and Nelson co11n-
ties, before Built was formed and
which, by popular fiction, was believ.
ed exempt from State or local jurislic-

OF himself or the community, the cry
was Grow him up Salt river.

Beans as u Field Crop.


A number of correspondents have
asked for information relating to tie
cultivation of beans as field crop, or
for seed, including soil adapt d to the
crop, varieties, time of planting, ETC.
We shall treat briefly, from this stand
point; since if wanted for family use,
either green or dry the difference in
cultivation will be obvious. The chief
expense will be found to be in pulling,
the planting and cultivation being ex-
ceedingly simple but the danger of
loss through rainy weather, ut harvest
time. is often another difficulty to the
grower.
Beans for field culture should be
sown in drills two feet apart, at the rate
OF one to one and a half bushels pei
acre. Sow in the spring, on dry, mel
low soil, about the time that field corn
is two or three inches high, or after the
soil is thoroughly warm, and all the
danger of frost is over. A double
shovel pillow is one of the best nipple
ments to cultivate with during the early
growth. just before, Or about the time
of blossoming, finish with the single
shovel, leaving the furrow in the mid
die between the rows. When thorough
ly ripe, pull them, keeping them grasp
ed in the hand, next the root, until you
have handful. Set them on the tops,
in wind-rows, squeezing the root TO-
gether, and secure the drop, if posi-.
bic, without rain.
The great difficulty with beans is to
keep them bright after pulling; and if
accomplished, it saves the expense OF
future hand picking. Many persons
stack them thiniy around rough poles,
with spurs projecting to keep them of
the ground. Place the roots next the
poles, with the tops slantlng down
ward as much as possible. Fasten, and
cap the top with slough hay, to keep of
the rain; and when thoroughly dry,
remove to the barn, and NOW them
away; or, if threshed Immediately,
spread thinly and turn occasionally,
until entirely hard and dry. If packed
in barrels or sacks before they are
thoroughly seasoned, they will be lia-
bic to mold or become discolored.
The cultivation OF beans may also
include the sorts usually grown for
marketing green, or as they are termed,
string beans. The cultivation of these
varieties is exactly like that of the white
sorts, and the curing is precisely the
same pole beans, however, are planted
in hills three and one-half feet apart,
and supported with proper poles. In
this case more labor is necessary, since
/ it is difficult to get through them with
q horse. The sorts usually grown for
bush string beans are Red eyed China,
Valentine, Long Yellow Six Weeks,
r und Yellow Six Weeks, and Early
Rachel. Good varieties Of pole beans
are Case-Knife, Indian Chief, Saber or
Cimeter and White Cranberry. The
list of varieties of garden beans cult
walton is large, and includes Do1ichos,
or asparagus beans, and Phascol~s, OF
Lima beans, Scarlet runners, etc. The
White Navy bean is the sort usually
grown for shipment, but the White
Marrow is superior for family use but
beans are ut best crop subject tC

It is generally thought best, so far
as my knowledge extends, to let dairy
cows go dry three, or OF least two
months. My own experience would
give three months as about the best
average length Of time cows should go
dry before dropping their calves in the
spring; and this I find best, without
regard to the general health of the ami
NAL or the amount of milk to be pro-
duced the following or after seasons.
Cows that are MIXED too long either
get thin in flesh, and give but little
milk, and that little of poor quality,
or else require large amount of nu-
tritious food SO keep up good supply
of milk and the animal in good flesh.
My rule is to feed literally as long as
do milk, and when COW gives less than
two quarts of good wholesome milk,
dry her off and lessen the feed. A dry
COW needs but two-thir.ls the amount
of fodder required by cow of the same
size which gives milk, SO that there is
no present profit in milking too long,
unless dairy products are very high, to
say nothing of the damage by impair
ing the future usefulness of the COW.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.

Growing Potatoes Under Straw.
After planting piece of ground in
the usual way last spring, a friend told
me that by covering the ground six to
eight inches deep with straw. it would
prevent the ravages of the Colorado
potato bug. I accordingly covered one.
half the patch with straw. Isoon found,
however, that I had to fight the bugs
on this part of the ground the same as
the other, which did by catching the
bugs twice a week.
When the digging time came found
that those covered with straw yielded
full one-third more than the others, and
were much larger, and of more uniform
size. The digging required less than
half the labor, as the potatoes lay al
most entirely above the ground. At
the time of covering with straw, which
was Immediately after planting, I plac-
ed some hills between the rows which
did not cover with straw, but they
did not amount to anything. Iplaced
a few of each kind on exhibition at our
annual fair, with a description of the
mode of cultivation. They attracted
much attention.-L II. Eaton, IN
