reckoned will allow OF n speed of over nine

have numerous side ports added to those al
ready existing by which the coal will be
received for storage pnrposes The coal
from these ports will, by its own gravitation,
run into n variety of receptacles. some well
above water line, other, below. The vessel
is to have powerful bydraulic cranes on the
upper deck whereby the steam coliers from
Cardiff and Newcastle bringing the coal will
be very quickly discharged, thus saving
greatly III cost on the existing system as
prac'iced at Gihralter. The coal once on
board, will be shot down into the bunker re-
ceptacle on board the AHdHtic and othel
steamers taking in their coal alongside. A
further advantage is that the GreoH EtSterh

The Bean as n Field Crop.

While every farmer plants few beans
in his garden, but few grow enough to
firnish more than is wanted for home use,
yet the bean is product that always finds
ready market at good prices. Those
who have high land, with a losmy soil
can easily raise an acre or two of field
beans that would bring profitable returns,
providing care be taken in the selection
of seed Many failures in growing beans
ARE made by planting poor seed. 1t is
not safe to go into the open market and
buy beans for seed, for if they come from
the South they will fail to produce crop
that will ripen even, and are more likely
to run to vines. Eastern beans are better,
but he who grows field beans should
never trust to the open market for seed.
