Field Beans.

IT is stated that few of the Western
States produce supply of white beans
sufficient for home consumption, and
the amount eaten is far smaller than it
should be. No vegetable food contains
larger amount of nutriment than
beans. In the formation Of muscles
they are nearly equal to any kind of
meat. Beans form staple article OF
diet in all countries noted for their
thrift. The institution of baked beans
has had much to do with the prosperity
of the New England States. Famine
rarely if ever occurs in countries where
beans form a leading article OF food.
Scarcely any crop can be produced
from given amount of land that will
supply as many persons with food as a
crop of beans. Common field beans
are easily and cheaply raised. The
seed costs very little, and the labor OF
cultivation is small. A very fair
crop of beans may be raised by sowing
them broadcast in sod turned over in
MAY. If sowed in this manner no cul-
tivation is required. 1t is usual to
plant them in drills on old land and to
tend the crop with a hoe and cultiva-
tor. The drills may be as near to-
gether as will allow the running of a
cultivator between them. Little cultiva-
ton is required except to keep down
the weeds and grass. The plants
should never be disturbed while they
are wet with dew or rain, as the least
touch will cause the leaves to rust
The land on which beans are planted
should be of nearly uniform character,
so that they may all ripen at about the
same time. Avery rich soil is not nee
essary for the production of a good crop
of beans. 1t is necessary, however,
that the land be dry. No crop will do
as well on sandy hills and knolls as COM
mon white beans Chicago Times.

cis1erns can be built on one side OF the
basement, and the heat from fatenlng
stock will prevent freezing to such an
extent as to injure the walls. A barn
forty by ninety feet will require cls-
tern holding one hundred and twenty
barrels. and this size will usually ac-
commodate all the animals that need be
fed under such barn. To save room
it is better to make the cistern just out
side the basement wall and have the
top covered deeply enough to prevent
freezing. The cistern will be hlled
previous to the winter with the warm
summer rains, and it will be far into
winter before the temperature APP
proaches the freezing point, When
broots are fed less water is needed, and
/ it is a curious fact that a fattened AMI
NAL generally drinks less in proportion
than one in only store condition. There
is less water in the flesh of fat animal
than in that of a poor one. 1t is proba-
BILE this fact has led farmers to believe
that fattening stock do not need regu-
lar drink. But the moderate amount
they require must be given regularly, or
the disquiet and rough appearance OF
the coat will show that something IS
wrong. If water is kept by them all
the time there will be no danger that
they will drink more than is for their
good. We shall not decrease the pro-
portion of water in their flesh by fur
nishing less of that, but rather by CIV
ing more of fat and flesh forming ele-
mentS.

How to Clean SOiled Dresses.

THE following directions for cleaning
soiled dresses has been well tested, and
will be found excellent: Dissolve one
tablespoonful of borax in eight quarts
of soft water. Have it quite as hot as
can be borne by the hands. Place the
garment, previously brushed, and rip
ped, if necessary Ga garment plainly
made need not be ripped), in this Solu-
ton, and let it lie until the water is
quite cool, lifting and airing it occa-
sioDally. If the garment is very much
soiled, some rubbing with the hands
may be necessary. Grease spots filled
with dust should be rubbed in a
stronger solution of borax previous to
putting the garment to soak. Wiring
dry and expose to the open air; when
still little damp press on the wrong
side.
This proportion of borax and wateris
excellent for cleaning black or dark
colors, whatever the material. AS
borax is neutral salt, no fears need be
entertained of its injuring the most
delicate fabric,

The Appetite Of Bread.

DID YOU know that bread is not only
eaten, but eats? Darwin has told us
that some flowers enjoy porter-house
steak. Now M. Scheurer KeStner as
sures us bread has negro's partiality
for hogs and hominy. The discovery is
interesting to dyspeptics, for bread can
be made to do the work of the alimen-
tary canal and relieve dyspeptics Of all
bother except mere deglutition--and, OF
course, paying the bakers bill, which
is harder work than digestion. Science
has since found that several vegetable
juices, or saps, dissolve meat, but NJ
Scheurer Kestner is the first person who
observed that in the process Of bread
making a peculiar fermentation takes
place which produces complete diges-
ton of meat. A beefsteak hashed fine
and mixed with dough containing yeast
disappears entirely by the time the
bread is taken from the oven. The
steaks nutritive principles are dis
solved and incorporated into the bread.
Not the least curious phenomenon no.
ticed in these circumstances is that
meat, which so rapidly becomes putrid,
when once Incorporated into bread
may be kept longer than ordinary
bread Bread made in 1873 has been
shown the Academy of Science; it was
as sweet and free from mold as when it
came out of the oven.
At first M. Scheurer Kestner used
raw meat; he mixed one and one-tenth
pounds of flour, one pound OF leaven
and -fourths of pound of raw
beef minced fine; water in sufficient
quantity was added, and the dough was
left to fermenU. In two or three hours
the meat had disappeared. The bread
was then baked as usual. This meat
bread had disagreeable, sour taste.
70 remove it M. Scheurer Kestner first
boiled the meat in just the quantity of
water necessary to wet the flour, and
used this water in kneading. The meat
should be rid of all fat, and only salt
enough to season the bread added; for
if too much salt be added the bread will
become humid (salt being a great alb
sorber of water) and spoil. The objec-
ton to this bread is that it is insipid.
If bacon be used instead of beef the OBJ
lection is removed. Veal, too, makes
a delicious meat bread. All these
breads may be used to make soup: Gut
in slices one-sixth of pound of this
bread, put the slices i'll quart Of wa
tor colt to taste and boil for twenty
minutes. Cor. N, 0. PtcdyArae.

How to Boil and Stew.

TO DO either properly, the food must
be immersed at the beginning in actual
" boiling water, and the water must be
allowed to reach the boiling point again
Immediately, and to boil for about five
minutes. The action of the boiling
water upon the surface of either meat
or vegetables is TO harden it slightly,
but enough to prevent the escape Of
either Juices or mineral salts. After
the pot containing the food has begun
to boil the second time, it should be re-
moved to the side of the fire, and al
lowed to simmer until the food is done.
This simmering, or stewing, extracts
all the nutritious qualities of either
meat or vegetables; the pot should be
kept closely covered unless for a mo-
ment when it is necessary to raise the
cover in order to remove the scum. The
steam will condense upon the inside of
the cover, and fall back into the pot in
drops of moisture, if the boiling is slow.
Do not think that rapid boiling cooks
faster than the gentle process recon-
mend. After the pot once boils you
cannot make its contents cook any
faster if you have fire enough under it
to run a steam engine. So save your
fuel.and add it to the fire little by little,
to keep the pot boiling. Remember if
you boil meat hard and fast it will be
tough and tasteless, and most of its
goodness will 60 up the chimney, or out
of the window with the steam.-Er-

Necessity Of Water for Stock.

A WRITER in the Country Gentleman
on the above subject says:
water is one of the first essentials
of farming. Eighty per cent. of all
flesh is water, and even in what are
called dry foods water must form a
large proportion if the animal is to be
kept in good thrift. 1t is generally bet
ter to give food somewhat moist, for
the purpose, making it more palatable,
and therefore more digestible. With
our northern ice-bound winters good
supply of water for domestic ANIMALS
becomes a very important consioera-
ton. Very often in cold weather stock
will prefer to remain under shelter
rather than 90 to the spring or brook
where only ice-cold water awaits them.
1t is very easy to cause animals to lose
from want of water all that they gain
by feeding grain. Lack of water is one
reason why it is so difficult to keep up
a flow of milk in winter. The food is
not succulent and the water is general
lv so cold that if COW drinks all that
she requires the chill to the stomach
will impair digestion. Usually the ami
NAL will not drink enough, while the
GOODNESS of the water keeps the food
from doing as much good as it should
IN all basement barns (and all barns in
tended for stock feeding should have a
basement under their entire extent)
this matter of providing water can be
settled with comparatively little ex-
pense. If the water is not too far dis
tant from the barn, it may be brought
close to the feeding trough in pipes. If
