RamDant Glory.

A California correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun gives this description of
what may be described as beautiful
nuisance that exists in the Golden State:
"Too much of good thing is worse
than too little" is well-illustrated in San
Joaquin county. In the heart of one of
it's richest sections are the morning.
glory lands. They are overrun with
these beautiful convolvuli, trailing on
the ground and intertwined into M i'm
penetrable mating. Looking from a
short distance, it is vast carpet of
variegated flowers that never cease to
bloom. No howery lawn in the world
can compare with it for winsome witchery.
Yet it is hateful and distressing to land
owners, and supreme barenness to the
farmers. In this climate, where growth
never rests, efforts to get rid of the beauti-
full pest have been of no effect. 1t never
dries enough to be fired out. Some
Cinnamon, tempted by the extreme
fertility of the soil, freedom from rent,
and confidence in their own patience and
perseverance, undertook to clear field
for culture. They spaded it all over,
carefully bagging the vines and every
seed they found. In December, the
crop being narrowed, gentle rain
sprouted it, and rich harvest was as
sured. But one morning, after very
growing shower, the whole face Of the
earth was covered, grain and all, with
morning glories more luxuriant than be-
fore. The Cinnamon had, to make sure,
carried in sacks to distance far away
every vestige of seed, and bon-fred the
whole. But this securing only gave new
life and spread to the flowers. The land
is now condemned to everlasting barren
ness, and any one who can reclaim it can

Ii is stated that Il few of the western
states produce supply of white beans
sufficient for hOTe consumption, and the
amount eaten is far smaller than it
should be. No vegetable food contains
Il 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 III 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 i'll countries where beans form Il
leading article of food. Scarcely any
crop can be produced from given
amount of land that will supply rs many
persons with food as a crop Of beans
Common field beans are easily and cheap
~ raised. The seed costs very little, and
the labor of cultivation of it il small
A very fair crop Of beans may be raised
by sowing them broadcast in sod turned
over i'll May. Ii sowed i'll this way no
cultivation is required. Ii is usual to
plant them i'll drills on old land and to
tend the crop with hoe and cultivator.
The drills may be as near together as
VIII ailoW us running Ol cuitlNator
between them. Little cultivation is re-
quired except to keep down the weeds
and grass. The plants should never be
disturbed while they are wet with dew OF
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 might all ripen at
about the same time. A very rich soil is
not necessary 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 knobs
