Cover the besns about an inch deep by
drawing a little fine soil on top of them
with hoe and patting down the hills
smooth and firm with the back of the hoe.
AS soon as the beans appear 90 through be-

week or less cultivate them again, and fol

that may appear in the rows.
A much larger number of sheep men
than usual Will plant this year an acre or
two of northern sugar cane as an expert
ment Tor sheep feeding. 1t is the opinion
OF those who have tried it that DO one food
has yet been discovered that offers more or
better advantages. An exchange has this
to suggest by way of experiment on root
crops:
| Every man who owns COW or few she, D
should prepare small piece ofgrouud, say
one-iourlh to one.half an acre, and plant TO
sugar beets, which are best, mangel wurt-
| zels second, and turnips last. The first Two
should be planted in dtills eighteen inches
apart, as soon as you eau plant corn.
| Turnips may be sown broadcast about the
LIST of August, if you can catch a shower.
but II you want beef or wool you must feed
some corn.

by feeding 100 swine, that increase will be

The first impression made on the popu
lar mind by any great improvement in
machinery or locomotiou, after the admis
sion OF their beneficial effect, is that they
will, in some way or other, diminish The
demand for labor or for other machinery.
Hence it was that in Europe the introduc-
ton of printing was denounced on account
of.its supposed tendency to diminish the
employment OF writers or copyists. 1t was
long before this prejudice could be over.

general principle that machines facilita.

and wool machinery was followed by
outbreaks of workmen against ma.

than that hundreds OF thousands of men

machinery had not cheapened cotton cloth,

Many more sewing women are now employ

the influence of railroads was at first very
much misconceived. There was an idea that
the transportation OF agricultural products
would result in diminishing the number OF
horses, wagoners and steamboats,. The re.
suit, however, proves precisely the contra
ry, Horses have multiplied more rapidly
since the introduction of railroads than
they did before, and even steamboats, have
