The bean crop is worthy of q
place in u rotation. not only for its
profit, but for its influence upon the
soil. 1t takes little from the soil /;
it is u cleaning crop; requires little
outlay Tor seed occupies the ground
but short time, and may follow II
crop of clover the Same season if an
carly ripening variety is chosen.
The "Medium" ripens early, is
hardy, but sells at a lower price
than the MARROW" The Marrow"
is very productive on a good soil,
and is a popular market variety.
If properly harvested, the haulm is
much relishcd by sheep, and is nu.
tritious. The bean, when ground
with corn or oats, is readily eaten,
and, when cooked, pigs will accept
it with avidity. No food is better
for growing animal, nor contains
more flesh forming elements than
this bean. The idea, however, that
beans may be grown on q soil too
poor for any other crop is crrone-
ous.-G American Agriculturist.

4 re the Chinese Descended from the American
Indians?
At recent meeting of the San Francisco
Academy of Sciences, Charles w. Brooks
read paper Oh THE Origin of the Chinese
Races" IN which some curious deductions
are made. A local journal summarizes the
paper as follows: Central Asia has hither-
to had the credit of being the cradle of man.
kind Scientists say thar America is older,
geographically, than any part of the earths
surface. Therefore, in natural process of ev-
olution, the aboriginal man must have ap.
peared on this hemisphere, in the vicinity OF
the first rocky elevation. The Chinese PEG.
pie are unlike any other people on the con-
tinent of Asia. They are hemmea in by
mountains, and the great wall along the north
ern and western frontier. They have had no
communication with other Asiatic peoples
from:time immemorial. According 10 tier
tradition, their first progenitors landed Oh
the southern coast of China. In looking for
the place whence they might naturally have
been brought by tavoring winds and currents,
our attention is terned to Peru. The records
Of that country show an immense antiquity.
Then civilization was extremely ancient, and
the remnants of an Acknowledged race resemb-
ling the Mongolsan are found in the Peruvian
mountains and also about the hcadwaters OF
the Amazon. Peru had an immense popula-
ton 1000 years before Christ. Early in the
history of the world the Peruvians possessed
a knowledge of solar movements, the marin.
er's compass, and herogyphics or picture.
writing An armed vessel or an invader
might have gone in sixty days from Peru to
the southern coast of China. Chinese records
show that 1858 years before Christ Flo XII, a
stranger king, introduced the reconcile knowl.
edge possessed by the Peruvians to the Chi
nese. The lower roots of the Peruvian lido
graph are connected with the PIG radicals Of
the Chinese language. These writings occur
all through Asia, and as far west as the pyra-
mids. The suggestions of these facts and
the many differences 10 be drawn from them
were elaborated with much specification Of
detail. 1t was shown that while Peru had at
one time II 100000 of inhabitants, her indus
tries had died out out and her population dis
appeared, China had gone on increasing her
population indefinitely, and achieved high
degree of civilization. The paper was lis
tened to with interest and applauded at the
close
