Field Beans.

1t is stated that few of he'western States
produce supply of white beans sufficient
for home consumption, and the amount
eaten is far smaller than it should be. Nc
vegetable food contains q larger amount
of nutriment than beans. In the formation
of muscles they are equal to nearly any kind
of meat. Beans form q 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 leading arti-
Gle of food Scarcely any crop can be pros
duced from a given amount of land that will
supply as many persons with food as crop
of beans. Common field beans are cheaply
and easily raised. The seed costs very lit
tie. and the labor of cultivation of it is small.
A very fair crop of beans may be raised by
sowing them broadcast in sod turned over
in May. If sown in this manner no culti-
walton is required. 1t is usual TO plant
them in drills on old land and to tend the
crop with a hoe ard cultivator The drills
may be as near together as will allow the
running of cultivator between them. Lit
tie cultivation is required except to keep
down the weeds and the 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 might all
ripen about the same time. A very rich
soil is not necessary for the production of
good crop of beans. 1t is necessary, however,
that the land be dry. No crop will do as
well on sandy hills and knobs as common
white beans.

Charity Which Does Harm.

New York Church Union (EyangelicaD,
That charity which consists of indiscrim-
mate giving Is by no means pemitorious
but is generally a grave fault, sometimes
becoming seriously detrimental to the best
interests of society. \ man who lives in
New York, and who has more money than
wisdom, enjoys himself in going down on
Wall street one afternoon in a month carry
ing great bags Of money and hinging it away
right and left, utterly reckless as to who
gets it, and whether the recipients be rich
or needy, lazy or industrious. He tells a
reporter who interviews him that he takes
no credit to himself for his generosity, for
he has more money than he can expend for
his personal and family necessities, and he
enjoys seeing the poor people run and yell,
and dive after the glittering coins 1t Is
certainly well that this sower of silver seed
does not claim any credit for himself, for he
does not deserve any.

Farm Notes.

If you want your chicks to grow fast, feed
them on oatmeal scalded with sweet or sour
milk Don't make the feed wet or sloppy,
nor give more at once than will be eaten up
clean. Only prepare As much at once as
Will be all eaten before any fermentation
takes place in it. Where oatmeal cannot be
had, fine c0rnmeal or cracked wheat SINH
larly treated and administered will answer
a very good purpose.
Some people make the mistake Of giving
the broods Matched by two or more hens to
a single hen to nurse If each hen has
Matched but one or two chicks, then OF
course, it is right and proper to give them
all to one hen. But if each hen has Matched
five or six chicks, she should be allowed to
rear them. That number Is nearly or quite
enough for a small or medium-sized hen at
this time Of year.
In nearly all soils ashes are beneficial.
Their action is two-fold; they supply to
plants inorganic constituents which they re-
quire, and they act chemically as solvents
upon other salts in the soil, or they neutral
ize acids, etc. They are more beneficial on
sandy or gravelly lands than on clay. For
plants that contain large percentage of
potash and phosphoric acid, as carrots, tur-
nips. potatoes and abbages, cashes are an es-
sentiaI manuea.
one fruitful source of collie in horses is
cracked corn. Ifcorn Is to be fed, use whole
corn; it is much more likely to be perfectly
masticated than cracked corn, and its i'm
perfect masticatiOn causes the collie. 1t il
also unwise to feed grain to a hungry horses
for then very large portion is apt to be
swallowed without being properly masti-
Gated This can be seen in their weddings.
Always letthe edge of a horses hunger be
taken off with n feed Of hay before feed
ing grain. Half an hour extra spent in
feeding, when on the road, will bring you
home half an hour earlier ut night.

About Bees.

\ correspondent of the New York Even
ing Post, in speaking of bees, says that they
are divided, as Is well known, into three
distinct classes-the queen, the worker and
the drone. The first is Matched in sixteen
days, the second in twenty-one days, and
the third in twenty-four days. The workers
are the smallest, and perform all the labor.
The workers Matched in the autumn should
live eight or nine months, but those in
spring or summer seldom survive beyond
three months. The worker bees collectively
regulate the affairs of the hive there being
no head or center of government. The
queen Is not a ruler, but merely the mother
of the swarm, and her removal causes the
greatest CONSERVATION in the family.

The Dignity of Housekeeping.
Gothe's Wilhelm Meister.

Where is there any station higher than
the ordering of the house? Willis the hus-
band has to vex himself with outward mat
tiers, while he has wealth TO gather and Sc
cure, while perhaps he takes part in the adj
ministration of the State, and everywhere
depends on circumstances ruling nothing,
| NAV say, while he conceives that he i
ruling much; compelled TO be but polite
where he would willingly be reasonable, to
dssemble where he would be open, to be
false where be would be upright; while
thus, for the sake OF an OBJECT which ne
never reaches, he must every moment sacrI-
fee the first of objects, harmony with him
self-a reasonable housewife Is actually gov
erping in the interior of her family; has
the comfort and activity Of every person IN
il to provide for, and make possible. What
Is the highest happiness of mOrtals, if not TO
execute what we consider right and good,
to be really masters of the means condu-
Give to our aims2 And where should or
can our nearest aims be but in the interior
Of our home? All those indispensable and
still 70 be renewed supplies, where do We
effect to find them, if not in the place
where we rise and where we 90 TO sleep,
where kitchen and cellar, and every species
of accommodation for ourselves and ours Is
to be always ready? What unvarying activ-
itv Is needed to conduct this constantly re-
curing series in unbroken living order
How few are the men TO whom it is given to
return regularly like star, to command
their day a. they command their night; TO
form for themselves their household instru-
ments, 10 SOW and TO reap, TO gain and to
expend, and to travel around their circle
with perpetual success and peace and love,
1t j. when a woman has attained this in
ward mastery, that she truly makes the hus-
band whom she loves a master, her atten-
ton will require all sorts of knowledge; her
activity win turn them all to profit. Thus
is she dependent upon no one; and she pro-
cures her husband genuine Independence,
that which Is interior and domestic; what
ever lie possesses, he beholds secured what
he earns, well employed; and thus he can
direct his mind TO lofty objects and, if for
tune fayors, he may act in the State the
same character which 50 well becomes his

Small Farms The Nations Wealth.

There is perhaps no portion of the Ameri-
can Union that offers such inducements to
the enterprising and industrious agriculture
jsts whose means, financially, are limited, as
that section of country lying along the line
of the New Orleans and Jackson railroad.
The lands contiguous to this road are
light and sandy, easily worked and moder-
ateIv productive, and, when placed under
the skiIlfui management of a farmer who Is
thoroughly familiar with the advantages to
be derived from the adoption of a system of
rotation in crops, they are capable of pro-
ducing two and even three successive re-
munerative crops in the same season, which
is in striking contrast with the plan of crop
ping prevalent in richer and more expensive
lands of the Mississippi. With the same
climate enjoyed by the people occupying
the large plantations on the river, the small
farmers, living in the section referred to-
are more Independent and prosperous than
their valley neighbors, for the reason that
they generally do their own work and are
obliged, at least for a time, to practice
habits of economy in the management of
their little farms. The great planter in the
aIluyiai bottom Of the Mississippi visits our
city, puts up at the St Charles Hotel mort
cages his plantation to his commission mer-
chant to obtain his years supplies, and,
after 4 weeks good living, returns to his
home to live for the rest of the year on corn
bread and bacon, and when his crop is made ii
takes the whole Of it to raise the mortgage
and pay for his supplies He is simply
servant for his merchant. The small piny-
wood farmer, on the other hand, is his own
master. With little or no credit, he asks
for none. The labor of the field, the man
agement of the cattle, the preparation of
manure the regulating and rotation of crops,
and the necessity of carrying a certain por-
ton of the produce to market, call for the
constant exercise of industry, skill and fore
sight among these small farmers and to
these qualities they add a rigid, economy
qualification beneath the domestic roof
from which the father Of the family rarely
wanders in search of excitement in cities or
elsewhere. 1t is these small farmers who
develop the hidden wealth and resources of
the country and to whom the Nation looks
for its future sperity.-Country Visitor.

Charcoal for Fowls.

An old turkey raiser gives the following
experiment: Four turkeys were fed on meal,
boiled potatoes and oats. -Four others of the
same brood were also, at the same time,
in another pen and fed daily on
the same article, but with one pint of very
finely pulverized charcoal mixed with their
food-mixed meal and boiled potatoes.
They had also plentiful supply of charcoal
in their pen. The eight were killed on the
same day, and there was a difference of u
pounds in favor of the fowls which had
been supplied with charcoal, they being
much the latest, and the meat being great
" superior in point of tenderness and flavor.
