Septimius, that, because of the very fitness
that was in this youth to enjoy this world,
50 much the less chance was there Of his be-

On one occasion Mr. John S. Cunning

the capitol on visit of curiosity. At
that time the building was without the

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 week
When the digging time came I 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, [ plac-
ed some hills between the rows which
I did not cover with straw, but they
did not amount to anything. [ placed
a few of each kind on exhibition at our
annual fair, with a description of the
mode of cultivation. They attracted
much attention.-J II. E0ton, an

Horses in Stables.

Horses kept in the stables and not
doing much work Should be regularly
cleaned and fed. Some farmer seem to
think that unless a horse is to be taken
out to work he does not need cleaning.
Such a man, to be consistent, ought
not to wash himself unless he is going
TO town. We feed our horses one bush
el of chopped straw (say eight pounds, J
molstened with water and mixed with
two quarts of corn meal to each team,
three times day. They are allowed
straw in their racks at say eight clock
IN the morning, and let them have no
food before them until noon. Then
feed them and remove all that is left in
the rack at two o'clock, and feed them
again at night, letting them have all
the straw they will eat until morning.
In this way, horses that are standing

RcanS as Il Field Crnn

| A number OF correspondents have
asked for information relating to TIE
! cultivation of beans as a field crop, OF
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 beinpulling,
the planting and cultivation being ex-
ceedingly simple but the danger of
loss through rainy weather, at 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 half bushels per
acre. Sow in the spring, on dry, mel
low soil, about tn 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 imple-
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
nave a handful. Set them on the tops.
III w1nd-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 manipulating. Many persons
stack them thiniy around rough poles.
with spurs projecting to keep them off

poles, with the tops slantlng down.

until entirely hard and dry IF packed

thoroughly seasoned, they will be liza
BILE to mold or become discolored.
The cultivation OF beans may also
include the sorts usually grown for
marketing green, OF 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
III 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
a horse The sorts usually grown for
bush string beans are Red eyed China,

Round Yellow Six Weeks, and Early
Rachel. Good varieties of pole beans
are Case-Knife, Indian Chief, Saber OF
Cimeter and White Cranberry. The
list Of varieties of garden beans cult

or asparagus beans, and Ph0se0lu8, or
Lima beans, Scarlet runners, etc. The

grown for shipment, but the White

Up Salt River,

The Frankfort Yeoman explains the
slang phrase 'rowed up Salt rlver" 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 at the
junction of Jefferson and Nelson coun-
ties, before Built was formed and
which, by a popular fiction, was believ-
ed exempt from State OF local iurisdic-
ton. Here the poor devil was whipped
by each of the lynchers in turn with
many stripes, and then let loose with
the injunction never to return. And

committed an act esteemed unworthy

Nc Profit In Milking Too Long.

It is generally thought best, so far
as my knowledge extends, to let dairy
COWS go dry three, or at 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 [ 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-
trltious 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-thirds the amount
of fodder required by a 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.

ed his days in chalking upon the rocks
and tracing images upon the sand. He
felt himself an artist without knooci11g,
perhaps, the meaning of the word.
One fine morning, leaving his focks,
he directed himself toward Florence,
where he expected to meet one of his
little comrades of the fields, who had
left him some time before to take the
place of scullion in the kitchens of a
cardinal. In Florence, Pietro, who
was not dozen years old, must soon
| have been reduced to a state of starva-
ton If Providence, that works some
times through strange mediums. had
not chosen the former little shepherd,
now become cooks aid, to save the fu-
ture great artist. This boy, from the
time when he guarded the focks in com
pany with Pietro, had had faith in the
future of his friend. He had said on
leaving him, that when he found him
self able to assist him, he would let
h1m know, and he kept his word.
| When Pletro arrived, place was
ready for his reception,-verym modest
and very humble, it is true, but it prov
ed how far the resources of a good heart
are able to reach. The scullion offered
the newcomer half of the poor bed
which he occupied in little chamber
under the roof of the palace, and engage
ed to nourish him with the desert from
the cardinals table,-a part of which
belonged ohm according to the Gus
tom in great houses. For two whole
years Pietro accepted from his friend,
not only this, but some pieces of money
beside, of which he had need to buy
paper and pencils. AS long as the day
light lasted he remained in the city
copying pictures and statues; when he
returned in the evening, he fastened
upon the walls of the little chamber
the copies which he had made.
One day the scullion managed mat
ters SO that several of Pietro's draw
ings fell under the notice of the CAR
dinal, who admired them and wished
to see their author. [ leave you to i'm
agine what a fine day this was for the
poor little fellow, on which he was able
to avow the clandestine hospitality
which he had given to Pietro ; and with
what pride he marched in, conducting
his friend before the prelate, who had
promised to befriend him, and who did
not fail to keep his promise. Pietro
da Cortona became illustrious and rich
but honors and riches never caused
him to forget the noble heart which
had served him in his time of obsc11rity
and misery.-Moay Carleton.
