Raising Beans.
ONTINUED NEXT WEEKLY

Cor Farm and Home.
The general plan of raising beans is
to plant about the first of June. | fol-
lowed this plan for some time with only
moderate success; the hot, dry weather
we almost always have in the latter
part of July and August, generally
cut the crop short. have seen them
planted earlier with much better re-
suits, and now plant as soon as possible
after planting corn, cane and potatoes.
This is generally not later than the mid
die of May.
While beans may often prove profit,
able on poor soil, my experience is that
to make them really profitable, good,
fair soil is necessary. What would be
considered good corn or potato land
will answer.
Plow we'll and harrow so as to put
in the best condition. Mark off the
rows three and a half feet apart. l
prefer planting in drills or hills close
together. Drop two or three grains
in each hill about fifteen inches apart.
Some plant in drills-tbe beans put
eight to ten inches apart; but planting
in hills in this way renders the cultiva-
ton and harvesting easier. Cover
lightly, and press the ground firmly
on the seed. In marking off run the
burrows shallow so that when the
beans are planted and covered they
will not he in burrows. Cultivation
should begin as soon as possible after
the bearers are up well. | prefer either
a walking cultivator or double shovel
pillow. Care must be taken at first to
keep from covering up part of the foli'
age; cultivate so as to keep as Level
as possible. Unless the soil is very

THE ANGEL SLEEP
ARTHUR WENTWORTH EATON.

When the day is done and the shadows fall
Over the earth like dusky pail,
Then from the mystic, the silent deep
Rises the beautiful Angel Sleep.
O'er field and forest he spreads his wings
Where the cricket chirps and the wood bird
sings,
And the murmur of voices dies away,
Stilled by the Angel calm and gray.
Human passions that surge and swell
Are silenced under the mystic spell,
And tired hearts that are used to weep
Yield to the power of the Angel Sleep.
Soft he 'broods till the morning gray,
Then as noiselessly glides away,
And the spell is lifted and hearts again
Take up their burden of care and pain.
We call him Death IT'S the Angel Sleep
That comes at last from the silent deep,
And smooths forever the brow of care,
And Gains the fever of passion there.
So we sleep and rest till the morning gray
Breaks once more Of an endless day,
And into the mystic, the unknown deep,
Flies forever the Angel Sleep.

tenth Regiment Of Tennessee Vol

teenth Regiment Of Tennessee Vol
unteers."
The officers of the regiment at the
time Of its Organization were as fol-
lows:
John H. Savage, Colonel;
Thos. B. Murray, Lieut.. Colonel;
10. G. Goodbar, Major;
George Marchbanks, Adiutant;
John Il. Read, Surgeon;
Chas. X. Mauzy, Assistant Surgeon;
Gilbert r. Campbell, Quartermaster
James Glasscock, Commissary;
j. w. Poindexter, Chaplain.
Drs, James B. Ritchey and Thomas
Black were assigned to duty in the
medical department of the regiment.
The officers were commissioned by
the Governor, and the regiment went
into camp of instruction at the place
of its organization, under Brig. Gen.
F. X. Zollicoffer, who was then COM
handing the forces at Camp Trous-
dale.
The Regiments at Camp Trousdale
at this time were the 18th Regt. Tenn.
Vols, under Col. Robt. Hatton; the
8th Regt. Tenn. Vols, under Col.
Alf S. Fulton; the 10th Regt. Tenn.
Vols, under Col. John H. Savage;
the 10Th Regt. Tenn. Vols, under
Col. Palmer; and the Goth Regt.
Tenn. Vols, under Col. Battle.
The 10th regiment remained at
Camp Trousdale and performed the
various works of camp life, including
drill and guard duty, until July Dist,
when it proceeded to East Tennessee.
The regiment was composed mostly
of young and middle aged men, of
robust health and strong constitutions.
During their six weeks stay at Camp
Trousdale the health of the regiment
had been excellent, and with the ex-
ception of a few cases of measles there
had been comparatively little sick
ness in the regiment. When the Or
der was received to march to the
scene of action the men obsyed with
an alacrity and cheerfulness that ever
afterward characterized the regiment
in its memorable campaigns that fol-
lowed throughout the four years of
war. Col. Savage was warmly de-
voted to his regiment, and proud of
it, and the feeling was reciprocated
on the part of his men. They felt the
most abiding confidence in his ability
and patriotism, and were ready and
eager to follow him where danger
was thickest to the performance OF
any duty that their country asked at
their hands.
On the morning of July 21st the
tents were struck and the baggage
placed upon the train amid q drench-
ing rain. The men were cheerful and
happy at the thought of going to Vir.
ginia. The news of the great battle
of Manassas was received about this
time, and the enthusiasm of the men
was at its highest point. The regi.
ment took the train about s O'Clock
and proceeded through Nashville tt
Chattanooga, and at the latter point
remained few hours awaiting trans
portation. From Chattanooga they
proceeded to Haynesville, East Ten
nessee, where they went into camp
to await further orders.

NaEH
foul with weeds, three cultivations win
generally be all that is necessary. Two
or three should be given during the
first three weeks, after then they are
large enough to commence cultivating.
They must not be cultivated when wet
either from rain or dew, as they are
very liable to rust, and working them
when the soil is wet or the vine wet
will help them in this respect, and in
this respect the crop may be seriously
damaged.
Clean cultivation is very essential;
you need hardly expect a profitable
crop if you allow the weeds to get
good growth. If they cannot be kept
clean any other way use the hoe. By
working the cultivator as close to the
vine as possible at the commencement,
the weeds can be kept down with very
little hand hoeing. They require less
cultivation to make profitable crop
than many other crops, and they grow
fast and mature, so that as crop, they
occupy the ground but short time.
They should be harvested as soon
as fully ripe, as they will shell
out badly if allowed to get overripe.
Pull up and let lie awhile to cure.
Where only small crop is raised, l
prefer thrashing out with a fail. Clean
off place in the yard, build a small
pen-laying straight rails as close to,
gether as possible. Scatter layer Of
beans and vines over this, and beat out
we'll, stirring up at least twice; then
run through fan to clean. This, to
get very clean, may have to be re-
peated.
For the farmer who raises all he con.
sumes, should by all means plant a
patch of white beans to use during the
winter and spring.

Growing Glover for Hay.

Cor Country Gentleman.
Clover makes more valuable hay than
any othergrass, and is more profitable
for the farmer to grow, for different
reasons. 1t apparently does not i'm
poverish the soil at all, will yield more
than any other grass, and makes the
best food for stock. Clover answers
purpose for the farmer that could
not well be furnished by anything else,
and the greatest trouble is that farms
ers do not raise enough of it. The
value of clover is to supply nitrogen
in rotation of crops, bring up inor-
ganic substances from the subsoil when
they are valueless, and secure them in
the surface soil, to meet the requires
ments of other plants, and always inns
prove mechanical condition of the
soil.
Besides these great benefits Of grow
ing clover, which have made it almost
invaluable in grain.growing districts,
and almost the only agent by whose
assistance the soil could be kept dark
with vegetable matter, it is the most
profitable grass to grow for hay. Clo>
yer thrives well, makes an enormous
growth, as any one knows, and will
yield wonderful quantity of vegeta>
ton. This has led some to believe
that because the quantity was so great,
the quality would be poor, and that
clover was not good hay. The stalks
are large and course, it is true, and
when stout clover has been left until
quite ripe before being cut, it does not
make good hay. But if the stalks are
large, they are tender, and when it is
cut in proper season, it makes the best
of hay.
The time to cut clover is when it is
in blossom, for not only then is its
quality best, but the nutritive elements
which make it valuable for food are at
their maximum quantity. Cows, when
fed on clover hay, will grow fat, if its
quality is good. All that stands in the
way of it is that the quality is apt to
be poor. 1t is much liable to be dam.
aged in the process of curing, as it re.
quires long time to cure, and this de.
tracts from its value very much, but
with such improvements as hay caps
and good judgment, this can be RENE.
died. The trouble which many have
found in feeding clover to horses has
come from its being cut late and badly
cured. Good clover hay will not hurt
horses any more than any other kind
of hay, if judiciously fed, but where
it is so dusty as late'cut, badly>cured
cloyer hay will be, of course it will
hurt horses, and should not be fed t.
them.
