with horse hoe and hand hoe with thor
oughness, and by this fitting Of the soil
to get full yield Of beans. and to fol-
low it with large crop Of wheat. Here
Is Just where we should put this crop
in our rotation, and, 50 to speak, kill
two birds with one stone.
Our method of growing beans has
been to plant two rows together eight
inches apart, and put these double rows
twenty inches apart. These wider rows
only are cultivated. but the surface IS
left fiat and no ridges are made by
earthing up the beans. By drilling in
the seed three inches deep the plants
are sufficiently well rooted 20 stand up
firmly. A cultivator made for the pur-
pose, with spaces to stradd.e two rows
the horse passing up the middle row,
works two spaces at once, and after
three workings the plants will so shade
the rows that weeds get no chance TO
grow. The variety we have grown is
the small pen bean. Recently We have
grown the white wax, which yields very
abundantly and affords in the stalks aud
leaves an excellent fodder. The crop
may DC cut With q mOWCF OF a EGapCE
and a self-raker; when the mower is
used a cloth apron is fitted be-
hind and a boy following rakes
off the beans In row, where
they are left to dry. When dry they
may be stacked in a barrack or put in
the barn, but it is preferable to thrash
them as they come from the field We
have fed them to cows, finely ground
with an equal quantity of corn and as
much fine bran or coarse mill feed as of
corn and beans together, and have found
the feed to be excellent for yield of milk
and product of butter. This meal, too
makes the very best feed for calves, and
If boiled well and the Cruel strained and
thinned to the substance of milk, with q
small quantity of sugar and salt added,
it makes the best substitute for milk for
weaned calves. Beans contain large
quantity of a nitrogenous substance
sailed legumin, which is identical with
caseine in composition, and which can
be curdled and made into cheese, and
this substance replaces in the food made
of it the caseine Of the milk, and so sup
plies BEAUTIFULLY one of the greatest
needs of the cali. Ned York Times.

ParIsian Nurses.

An English paper says that those visit
ors to Paris who are interested in tho
charitable institutions of that city
should nav visit to the Cancer hospital
in the Rue de Lourmel. The nurses in
this establishment are all widows of good
social position, and they are called
and beyond being all dressed in black,
with white aprons and large silver
crosses, they wear no distinctive gar
ments. BY joining this association these
ladies do not separate themselves from
their families or give up their position i'm
the world. A few of these unpaid
nurses are resident: others attend every
morning with unfailing punctuality,
whatever may have been their engage
ments of the previous night. Just be-
fore the visit of the doctor. at
Q in the morning and in the afternoon,
these nurses collect from various parts
of Paris. Upon entering the dormitory,
with the proper appliances for dressing
the diseased patients, they kneel down
on the threshold, while one recites q
short prayer, and then they accompany
the doctor round the beds. receiving his
instructions. Nothing daunted by the
repulsive character Of the wounds, the
Danes de Calvaire do everything that is
necessary to alleviate the suffsrings of
the poor invalids, who seem to express a
keen sense Of satisfaction in being able
to say . princess or a duchess is looking
after their particular case. These nurses
never shrink from their self-imposed
task Of dressing fntid wounds. but with
the greatest willingness they undertake
the most Ioaths0me tasks.
