White Beans.

We have never had better success
with our bean patch than this year.
And l am inclined to believe that one
great cause of my success was in early
planting. | have always been in the
habit of planting late, but the hot sun
in August, that we almost invariably
have, would cut the crop short, keep
ing them from filling well.
This year planted May 10th, three
weeks earlier than usual. The ground
was well plowed, and narrowed fine
and as smooth as possible, then laid of
in rows three and one-half feet apart;
three beans were dropped in hill. The
hills are about eighteen inches apart.
When well up they were plowed with
diamond plow, running the bar as
close to them as possible, throwing the
dirt away from them. Then they were
gone over with hoe and every weed
cleaned out around the hill. In two
weeks the dirt was thrown back to them,
taking care to run the plow shallow
so as not to cover up too deep. They
made rapid growth and filled in July,
before dry weather came on. [ do not
believe in cultivating after the vine be.
gins to blossom. My experience is that
the work should all be done before
that time, and if it is done as it should
be there is in reality no need of cult
vating afterward, as working among
them causes them to make more bios
SONS, injuring the first set and keeping
them from ripening evenly.
In pulling or harvesting beans [ pull
and pile three rows together in con-
venient piles, not too large as they are
liable to heat If only small patch is
raised l prefer to thresh out as soon as
they are dry enough, which can easily
be done. | clean good smooth place
in the field and thresh them out there
with fail
More farmers should plant a small
patch of beans, enough at least for their
own use; any ordinary family will
easily consume from one to three
bushels, and they are very healthful
and nutritious food, and can easily be
kept the whole year round, so that they
can be used when there is scarcity OF
other things to supply the table. II
there is any surplus they will find a
ready sale at good price.
Beans should have a good rich soil to
be most profitable, but can be grown to
advantage on soil SO poor that a ma
jority of other crops would not be
found profitable. When large fields are
planted they are not called sure crop
by any means, but are generally a
paying one. But every farmer can
raise what he needs for his own family
much cheaper than he can possibly buy,
especially when there is partial fail.

Asphalt as Fuel.

Inventors ought to find a good field
in the study of some effective means to
utilize asphalt as fuel. The solution OF
this question would be of great service
to this country. 1t is said that many OF
what were thought to be coal mines,
recently discovered in various parts Of
Mexico, are really deposits of bitumen.
Now while asphalt is highly combusti-
BILE there seems to be at present no
practicable method to utilize it as fuel,
owing to its melting when subjected to
heat. 1t is likely, however, that with
the demand for cheap fuel now felt all
over the country for railway, mining
and other industrial purposes, some eff
fective method can be devised to make
practical use of its heat-producing quail
tiles; burning it, perhaps, after reducing
it either to a liquid or vaporized form.
The inventor of such a process could
command a handsome fortune for the
use of the right in this country. The
products Of the new oil wells in Vera
Cruz, much of which are said to be too
heavy for Illuminating purposes, might
also be utilized in the same manner

Grass, says the Ohio Farmer, is the

The proportion of grass lands in any
section of the country is pretty sure
index of the degree of agricultural
prosperity enjoyed. advancement made,

neglected labor is increased and soils
are deteriorated.

wheat the corn should be removed
from the ground and the stubble plowed

the seed upon the stubble and then cover
it by plowing light furrow. The sur

the engine broke down and the train
was brought to standstill. When the
conductor announced that it would be
two or three hours before we could pro-

sauntered across the field to negro
cabin and sat down in a shady grove.
There were dozen or more dogs around
the place, and presently two of them
engaged in savage fight lasting about
ten minutes. They were finally sepa-
rated by the owner, and closely follow
ing was fight between boy of eight
or nine and girl year or two older.
Then came another dog-fght, and then
the old woman stepped out and the boy
and girl pitched into her, tooth and toe

excited and indignant, and just as an
other dog-fght was being arranged for.
