LIMA BEANS.

The farmer who neglects to plant
Lima beans, says the agricultural edit
or Of the Chicago Times, proposes to
deny his family one of the finest arti-
Giles OF food that can be produced in
this climate Unlike most varieties
the Lima bean produces succession
Of crops extending through several
months. The beans may be canned be-
fore they are ripe, in much the same
way fruits are, and they will be good
till green beans come again. IF the
beans are shelled after thew are ma
ture but before they have become hard,
and carefully dried they will be excel
lent atall times of the year. If thew
are soaked few hours before thew are
cooked they can scarcely be distin-
guiShed from green beans. In one of
Mr.. Beecher's early articles on farm
ing he spoke in praise of Lima beans.
but remarked that where he lived sit
was difficult to find seasons and bear
poles long enough for them" Since
that time much has been learned in
respect to the successful culture of
these beans. We now know that if is
not necessary to have either a long sea-
son or a long pole to produce them.
Experience shows that it is better to
plant them late than early. If planted
before the soil is quite warm thew are
liable to rot, or if they do terminate
the plants will generally be stunted in
their growth. 1t is well, however. TO
start the plants in boxes or pits in a
hot-bed or warm kitchen and TO set
them out where they are, to stand not
earlier than the middle of Nav.
Strawberry boxes or boxes made of pa
Iper are excellent to start them in.
Some market gardeners start them on
pieces of sod placed in a hot-bed. Ri
ma beans require rich warm soil.
The hills should be at least three feet
apart. -Four vines are enough for each
hill. A crow-bar should be used for
setting the poles, which should be nut
in position before the beans are plant
ed. The best market gardeners do not
use poles more than five feet above the
ground. When the vines reach the for
they pinch off the tips. This causes
branches to start out near the ground
and renders the vines much more nro
ductive. The nearer the ground the
pods appear the earlier the beans vii,
! mature.

There is now in Texas quite lively
agitation of the question whether that
State cannot be developed into one OF
the Wheat-groWing and food-exporting
sections Of the country. The success
which has apparently followed the ex-
pertinent of raising wheat during the
past few years, and the great favor
which the grain raised in that State Is
said to have gained among flour man
ufacturers, have raised hopes among
the people of Galveston of making
their city one of the principal grain
land flour marts Of the world. During
the war a small quantity Of wheat was
grown in the northern counties Of the
State, but since the war cotton has
been the principal crop raised, until a
few years ago, When attention was
turned once more to the cultivation of
wheat. The section now devoted to
that cereal is said to extend into the
center of the State. Thirteen counties
produced last year 100000 bushels OF
wheat, valued at $8,0O0,00O. It is esti-
mated that wheat could be grown in
ITO counties, and that the annual value
of the wheat crop could be raised to
1915, 100000.
Should the weather prove propitious
the next wheat crop of Texas, it is
said will be enormously large. All over
the wheat region Of the State farm
ers are turning their attention to its
cultivation, and will plant less cotton
than heretofore.

HOW TO TIE UP RASPBERRIEs

EDITORS WESTERN RURAL: Il have
hit upon plan for tying up my rasp-
berries which has proved SO convenient
and effectual, and Withal so cheap, that
! / wish to give the numerous readers of
THE WESTERN RURAL the benefit Of it.
/ plant my raspberries in hills, six
| by six feet, as / can cultivate and keep
them clean with much less labor plant
led in that way. Drive one stake q
fused two at first but find one does just
as WelD On the southwest side Of the
hill, then take common fencing wire,
I(smaller will do, cut it in proper
lengths to make hoops about sixteen
inches in diameter Turn asmall hook
lon each end, bend it round and hook it
| together including within the hoop the
stake and the hill of canes.
Its advantages are,-it supports the
hill of canes perfectly without confin-
ing them too closely together, and in
the mex place, if the new canes struggle
outside of the hoop, as they are sure to
do, you have only to unlock the wire,
put it around them and hook it up
again. Then it is easy to UNLOCK it
when you go to cut out the old canes
after frUiting.
Make the stakes four or five feet
long and when they rot off you can
sharpen and drive down again, thus
making them last a number Of years.

MARKET YOUR FRUIT IN THE
BEST CONDITION,

Some men fail to make money even
from good fruit, because they are care
less or slovenly or dishonest in then
method Of presenting it to purchasers
Except in rare cases and for peculiar
uses, all fruit should be ripe when Of
fered in market. IF it is not ripe il
should not find sale. It should be
sound also. If the quantity on hand is
large enough to justify, it should be
carefully assorted the best specimens
Iput by themselves, even though they be
few in number, and the least valuable
placed by themselves. This will ena-
bic consumers to choose according to
their purposes Oh means, and will most
likely secure buyers for all the grades
To SO arrange ones fruit in the boxes
Or crates or to have the finest speci-
mems on the top, while below are mere
odds and ends, is to act dishonesty as
we'll as foolishly. Fair dealing as to
quality, quantity and price will always
pay best in the long run.
|. Much attention should be given to
the baskets, crates or boxes in which
the fruit is marketed. They should be
neat, convenient in size and attractive
in appearance. Labels setting forth
the name of the fruit and Of the grow
er Of his locality will greatly add to
the attractiveness Of the stock and the
satisfaction Of the purchasers. We
would make more money if we were
more mindful of the fact that buyers
are largely influenced by their eyes,
and that the sight often dictates per
|emptorily to the appetite.

SLANG.

We pride ourselves upon living, IN
what we consider, an age of reform !;
hut we seldom think that we are labor
inc under o delusion neither do we
believe ourselves wise in cur own con-
ceit. @H
Had slang any origin? if so when ?
We are told that there is nothing that
did not have birth, but whence came
it? who invented it? We cannot de-
eide. This we do know that it is scat
tered through all classes of society.
Nearly all Of us pronounce it low and
vulgar, yet, we use it.
When one is troubled for word to
express his thought, how very easy it
is to say, 'Well, you know how it is
yourself" Day by day new words are
springing into existence, innocent and
old phrases are dropped, briefer ones
are substituted in their places, and
many find it much more convenient to
express themselves in the dialect found
upon the street, used by the neWsboy
and bootblack, as they ply their busl-
ness arts upon men. Many a boy,
thinking that their words are grand
and noble, repeat the same in the home
circle.
'tWelI, what are you yoing to do
about it says one?" We answer, that
either this language must be done away
with, or a dictionary and grammar.
published sanctioning it's use.
Is our language degenerating, and
are persons who are leaders in society
gradually shutting their eyes to the
fact, if fact it is?
What would be the establishment of
some ancient quaker, were ne permit
ted to visit us to-day, and walk through
our streets and hear some Of the pre-
vailing expressions. Methinks his as
constituent would be wrought to al
higher pitch than was Warren's at
sight of our modern improvements.
Each one Of us has it in his power
to choose for himself the course he will
pursue, the language he will employ.
Then, let lis, as teachers set an exam
pie that will be worthy of imitation,
Let us discourage our pupils to use
slang words and phrases; but teach
them to treasure UP the choice ones
from the best authors and speakers of
our land. A TEACHER.

TESTING MILK.

We see it stated in a German paper
that the purity Of milk may be tested
by the following very simple method
A well-polished knitting needle is dip
ped into a deep vessel of milk, and i'm
mediately withdrawn in an upright
position; when, if the sample be pure,
some of the fluid will be found to adj
here to it, while such is not the case if
water has been added to the milk, even
in the smallest proportions.

PARENTS, your daughter is in good
society when she is with girls who are
sweet and pure and true-hearted; who
are not vain or frivulous; who think
of something besides dress, or flirting,
or marriage; between whom and their
parents there is confidence; who are
useful as well as ornamental in the
house; who cultivate their minds, and
train their hands to skilIful workman
ship. If society of this sort is not to
be had, then none at all is preferable
to a worthless article. 81

tenn would give, with it's fewer and
more Intelligent officers and it's great

ance Of multitudes of the schools, and
hence, the more permanent occupation

township high schools wherever prac-
ticable; (5) a well defined course of
study for the common schools, as well

The Hamilton On. Y.) Democratic

couple took their leave. On looking at
the change received, the pastor found
that one piece, which had evidently been
taken for 10 cents, was three-cent
piece, and, therefore, his fee had been
reduced TO the magnificent sum Of AZ
cents. Yet there was consolation even
in that. The certificate had cost but %

Dogs in the North are harnesscd in a
number Of ways. The Esquimaux run
their dogs abreast. On the coast OF
Hudson's Bay they are harneSsed by
many separate lines into kind of band
or pack while in Manitoba and Saskat-
chcwan, they are driven tandem. The
number constituting train Is generally
four, though three and even two are
used. The train Of dogs are attached
to the slcdge by means of two long
traces, between which the animals stand
in line, the head Of one dog being about
a foot behind the tail Of the dog IN front
Of him. Each one Is fastened to the
traces by round collar of moose-skin,
which slips over the head and ears, and
rests upon the swell Of the neck. This
collar buckles on each side To the traces,
which are kept in position by back
band of leather, buckled under the dog :
ribs or stomach. The back-band is gea-
orally decorated with little bells, as is
also the collar, and many ribbons. por-
