Pole Renns NAifhnnf Pnles.

]. b. Root, of Rockford, H., tells in
his Garden Manual how he succeeded
last year In raising Lima beans without
poles One-fifth Of an acre was planted
In hills, six seeds to each. eyes down,
and when the runners were three feet
high, ii Strengthened up, the tips were
nipped off, thus inducing the prompt
Development OF all blossoms, and a set
Of side shoots which chung to each other
and formed n sort of coae.
No more pinching in was practised,
for fear Of too late growth. The re-
suit was the plants seemed content with
Il less stature, and large proportion of
the settings matured. The crop was
fully one-half greater than ever before.
anu more than a half greater than that
on poles the same season.
Hereafter he will contine himself to
this method, with the difference that a
lath, set deep, will be used for each
hill This will furnish something for
the cone to cling to in wind, and the
top Of the latin will be a good point at
which to nip the vine. 1t is added that
if the crop IS raised for ripe beans there
should Dc several pickings, as some of
pods touch the ground. and in wet
time the beans become stained. While
others are advised, on the strength of
this experience, to try the plan, it is
recommended that with this, as with
al new things, to hasten slowly, and
never risk an entire crop on ali expert

Bird Instinct.

A great fire broke out in a little Ger
man town, near where stood a tower
about so feet high, which formed part
of the fortifcation on the town wall.
On the summit a storl1's nest had been
built for SO many years that the building
received the name of "Stork's Tower
At the time of the fire there were three
unfedged birds in the nest, and the
poor little birds were in great danger.
But the old storks soon showed their
love for their young, for by turns they
each flew off to some fish ponds just out
side of the walls here they took a
good dip in the water, and filled their
beaks with as much as they could carry
away then, notwithstanding the smoke
and flames, they flew back to their little
ones, poured the water from their beaks
over them, and then nests and feathers.
Thus during the whole day, did these
faithful birds act like q fire brigade till
toward evening, when all danger for
the Young and nest was over.

/ Dog in q Churn.
From the Miners Journal

From the Miners Journal
4 short time since a farmers wife re-
siding in Berks county, Pa, was en-
gagged on the greensward in front of
the house in churning butter. The fe-
male IS one Of those spruce, tidy house
wives for which Berks county is SO pro
verbal, and invariably takes special
pans to turn out prime butter and good
bread. Now, the woman III question
opened the lid OF the churn to see
what progress she had made; and hay
ing business in the house neglected to
replace it. A small dog belonging to
the family-One of that breed of poo
dies good for nothing else but to lie in
the sun and wag their narratives-came
along at dog trot, having no doubt
shifted a feast from afar. Ponto halted
IN front of the churn, and with bound
landed upon its top. Scanning the sur
roundings, and finding that the coast
was clear, the brute inserted his head
into the open vessel, and was soon en-
gagged in satiating his appetite on its
rich contents. Horror upon horror
elongating his neck deep into the churn
in search of butter curds, the dog fell
through the opening into the vessel.
Just at this moment the woman re-
turned, and, hurriediy replacing the
lid, made things lively for the pWp
awhile. After manipulating the crank
for fifteen minutes she took peep in
side, and, supposing the dog to be a
lump of butter, inserted her hand for
the purpose of removing it, whereupon
the animal squirmed around, and the
woman, who is firm believer in signs
and tokens, quickly Withdrew her hand,
and left the spot at the top of he1
speed, in search of her husband, who
was at work in the barn. The man
upon reaching the green and making
an examination, turned to the partner
of his Toys and sorrows, ~ and said,
mime Got, Betz, you have churnine
the leedle dog, Ponto." The poodle
was brought forth, the contents of the
churn emptied, and things assumed
their regular channel again.

Why Does Hone, Sour :

In your remarks on my article Oh

when YOU would fear for weak one. |

the points, wishing to be corrected If |
nm wrong. ] have told You that the
top protection Of my hives in winter is
straw mat My combs don't show
any mold whatever. pay no attention
to my combs being capped or uncapped,
and | can show any one that no mold
accumulates with the weakest one Of my
swarms My honey does not get sour
III the cells nor III open vessels IN my
store. But | have a cellar, inone damp
corner Of which stood since last season
Il two gallon stone jar filled with honey,
well covered up. Barrels had been
rolled in front of the jar, and when it
turned up again, few weeks ago, the
honey was completely sour. Ii this jar
OF honey had been standing IN well
ventilated room, it would certainly not
have soured Don't Won think SO? Can
not We apply the same rule to bee
hives
The weakest one of my swarms may
eventually freeze out, but, | ana sure
no mold viii accumulate, no honey will
sour in the hive. even if every comb was
uncapped, and may add, l viii have
no dysentery anon my bees. The ne
cessity of an upward ventilation Is

Of the hive fiat on the straw mat In
less than two weeks the mat is SO moldy

not see the sewing Irvine. The mat Is
moldv al through, and smells like foul
straw. The combs are mOldy, and the
bees are in fair way of getting dys-
cnterv Ii it only keeps cold little
longer and they have not plenty lower

healthy for the bees, and their honey is

soured in the cellar, only that the sour
ing process was FASTENED on in the hive
Dy the heat created by the bees. The
unhealthy air in the hive is generally
the cause of dysentery, IN my estlma-
ton, but not the cold weather nor the
late collected honey And the straw
mat is good for nothing if YOU don t
allow an air passage above it.

A Corpse Arrayed in Ball Dress.

Mrs Lowden, who died recently in
College avenue, in that part of the city
formerly known as Mott Haven, made
a singular request on her death bed.
She was passionately fond of dancing,
and her death was fastened by an over
indulgence in that amusement. When
she realized that she was abor5 to die,
she requested that her remains might
be laid out on a board instead of IN a
coffin, and that she should be dressed
in her new ball dress of flesh-colored
satin, with white slippers. She also
asked that fashionable hairdresser
should be employed to dress her hair in
thelatest style, and that her head should
be turned to one side after death, to
show the hair to advantage. Her de
sire was complied with, excepting that
casket was substituted for the board.
After the remains were arrayed for the
grave, the corpse was placed in a chair,
the head turned to one side III a life
like position and the picture was per
petuated in photograph. The circum-
lance of her making such request
drew large number of curiosity seekers
to the funeral in addition to the mourn

The Physical Standing of Americans,

According to recent work of Mr.. B.
A. Gould, Actuary to the United States
Sanitary Commissioners, in which
some interesting figures relative to sol
diers III the last war are given, it APP
pears that the American nation, instead
of being degenerate and inferior to the
European race in point of physical per-
lection, is far the reverse. The figures
adduced show that "the tallest men
We're from Michigan, Illinois and Wis
consin; the next tallest from New Eng
and, New York and New Jersey, and
the shortest from Scotland, England
and Germany" In weight, the men of
Kentucky and Tennessee were the
heaviest, averaging $50 pounds; Eng
land, Scotland, France and Belgium all
between 1913 and l39 pounds The ratio
of weight to stature gave, in pounds to

States, 2.i85; New England, 2,12l !;
