Bean Raising Profitable.

I am pleased to know that so many of
our farmers are becoming interested in
bean growing. The yield as reported by
different ones is from fifteen t o twenty
bushels per acre; fully equal to that of
the yield in New York, and yet, a firm
in this city buy beans largely in that
State each year, because they cannot be
had here In sufficient quantities to sup
ply the demand. This firm haye just
received the third carload of beans, all
within the past month, of which the
producers get paying prices, and we
send them in exchange corn on which
there is no profit,
We wish our farmers would give this
matter the attention it is worthy of. 1t
makes a big difference whether we draw
to town a load for which we receive from
fifty to seventy dollars. or draw ten loads
to amount to that sum. Beans can be
raised here at less cost per acre than
the ground can be rented for in New
York. Now why cannot we reverse this
and supply the east with beans. They
will bear transportation better than any
other crop. The writer of this has rails
ed in this country, three good crops, of
from fifteen to twenty bushels per acre.
| am confident it lays in the hand of the
farmers of this country, to make it a
great Bean Center" and send out car
loads as we now do wheat.-C Con. Water

Michigan Fruit Prospects.

A Chicago Times correspondent writes
from St. Joseph, Michigan, that he has
'of late interviewed several Of the more
prominent and reliable fruit growers of
this great fruit-growing district, and OBJ
tanned the following information rcla-
tive to the prospects for the crop this
year: The past winter having been a
very open one, with but few heavy
frosts, comparatively speaking, no dam
age whatever has been done to the fruit
in general. The strawberries, which are
the earliest fruit to ripen, and are cult
waited more than any other variety, are
looking unusually well, and promise a
very bountiful crop. Following straw
berries come the cherries, raspberries
and blackberries, also arc cultivated
very extensively, and promising we'll,
but there is still danger of damage to
the two latter from late frosts. The
peach crop, which ripens during the

tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more thar a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs Of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their apcrient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infiamed.
They reach the vital fountains ofthe blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

I" She Wrote 1t Herself"
New York Graphic.

A timid girl, with her delicate hand
half revealed, half concealed in a nit,
came in and laid a poem on our desk,
which opened as follows:
How dear to my heart is the goat of my child
hood
When fond rccollections present him to me:
The beautiful beast which when 'cr he was
riled would
Make everything fly from the presence Of he.
My mischievous Nan was the frowsiest butter
That ever did but u stone fence till it fell;
He'd see II a coming u scream he would utter,
Then brace his four legs and go ut 1t pell-mell.
O., how he would buck it! An iron-bound
bucket
He once tried to buck it, and died In Il well.
We read it over three times, for it
seemed familiar. Then we asked her
point blank if she wrote it herself. She
fixed one eye us, while the other went
out the window (poor girl), and she said
that she did. So we accepted one verse
at so much. 1t is a very pathetic little
picture Of rural felicity, but it certainly
reminds us of something else we have
e sOmewheres.

They All Do 1t.

Senator Edmunds, according to a cor
respondent Of the Buffalo Commercial,
gives the following picture of the pro-
ceedings of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee:
"On the day when the committee
meets, Conkling will come in first, and
find a slim attendance. He will sit a
little while impatiently, and say:
Well, l don't suppose there will be a
quorum this morning, and | have other
matters to attend to. If Davis and
Thurman would drop their Presidential
aspirations and attend to committee
business, we could do something And
he will go out.
''Then Thurman will come in and ask:
Where's Conkling?' When told that
he had been in and left to look after
other matters, he will say: Where's
Davis?' Davis hasn't come We'll,
Thurman will say, 'Conkling and Davis
have got the Presidency on the brain,
and of course we cant expect anything
of them. Call me when you get a quor-
um.' And he will 60 out.
"Then Davis will come in, and say:
Well, Conkling and Thurman are alb
sent again. Those two men are so busy
working up their Presidential cam
paigns that they neglect their Senator
ial duties And so it goes, every week"

The Springfield Mass Republican is
responsible for this story: Years ago
the Boston and Albany Railroad made
rule that passengers should not ride
on tickets intended to b. used in the
opposite direction from tnat in which
they were journeying. One dav the
conductor came to well-dre.sed mid
dle.aged lady, just after leaving Wor
ceSter on the sestern bound express,
who handed him a ticket from Palmer
10 Worcester. He protested that, al
though very sorry, the rules of the
company woulden't allow him to take
that ticket for moment The lady said
she had bought it in good faith, but
had never before had an opportunity to
use it. ana intimated, with studied pol
iteness, that all such regulations were
senseless. And finally she remarked ;
81 am willing TO ride backward all the
way,if that will b. any comfort to you.
