Lima Beans.

The Lima bean requires a richer soil
than the ordinary dwarf bean, and will
pay well for special attention. Most
growers use poles for these beans which
are entirely too tall. The crop is harder
to secure from the tall poles, and the ex.
ira height is an absolute disadvantage
since it encourages the upward growth
of the vine and retards its fruiting. II
poles are used at all, a height of five feet
is enough. Before setting the poles run
burrows with pillow where the rows are
to be. In these burrows place the manure
or commercial fertilizer, then with a
crowbar set the poles firmly in the fur
row four feet apart. Next throw fur
row to the row Of poles from each side,
leaving them standing in ridge. Now,
with a rake, dress this bed of earth into
good shape, and around each pole plant
four beans, eye downwards, and only
just beneath the surface. The elevated
ridge around the poles will heat up
sooner than fiat surface, and the germ
ination will be much more rapid. When
the plants are fairly established pull up
all but two to each pole, and give little
attention to starting the vines on the
poles, as they frequently need to be tied
at the beginning. But the best way is
not to use poles at all. Set two or three
stout posts in the line where the beans
are to grow, and then stretch galvanized
wire netting, four feet wide, from post
to post, and plant the beans along the
ridge about six or eight inches apart.
The wire will furnish points to cling to
from the start, and the bean plantation
will look much better than with the
poles.-Garden and Forest.

Building Rockeries.

One of the greatest errors made in
building rockeries consists in making a
stiff and formal pile of stones. The
principal beauty Of rockery comes
from the rough and rugged appearance,
yet 1t is possible to overdo it even in this
respect, and it should be the aim to imi-
tate the very best specimens of wild nat
ural scenery. I think it is better to
make up mound of rich earth with
some coarse material to prevent it from
being too compact, and place the stones
afterwards, filling earth among them.
This allows more root room than begin
ming at the bottom with stones.-Wll-
lam f. Bassett, New Jersey.

Plant Trees of Medium Size.

Be content, says Wick, to plant trees
of medium size; give preference TO those
that are nursery grown; select from the
many hardy and beautiful kinds those
best adapted to your wants and locality;
roots are essential to the growth of the
trees. and if cut away it Will take long
time tozproduce new ones

Never give water when the soil is moist
to the touch. Nearly all plants require
moro water when in bloom than at any
other time, more IN warm temperature
than in a cold, and more when in a state
of active growth than when at rest.
Plants in open rooms usually require
water once day, and some demand it
twice, at any rate all should be exam
ined with interest to water at least
every day.
Cleanliness is essential. The leaves of
plants should be kept free from dust,
hence frequent washings are absolutely
essential, although when watering never
wet the flowers of a plant nor allow drops
of water to stand on the leaves in the
sunshine. Never allow water to stand
in the saucers Of the pots unless the
plants are semi-aquatic. Watering is at
least two fold. It supplies plants food
or elements of fertility contained in itself,
and converts the plant food Or nourish-
ment of the soil into a liquid form, SO
that it may be absorbed by the roots.
The roots Of plant must be kept moist,
not wet.
When the drainage is the most perfect
plants will generally be the healthiest,
and will need watering the oftenest.
Give house plants as much light as pos
sible during the day, and darkness with
a lower temperature at night. Plants
require rest; uniform temperature of
60 or 10 degs. in the daytime and 40 to
IS degs. at night viii give the best re-
suits. Turning the plants toward the
light should not be done, unless done
regularly. Besides light, house plants
require good supply of fresh air. Ven
tilation is absolutely necessary.

ApnlrIng Lime to the Soil.

An important point to observe in the application of lime to land is to have it we'll pulverized so as to be easily spread and finely diffused through the soil. It must, therefore. advises Country Gentle man, be slacked into fine and dry powder oy applying about one-third as much water as there is lime before spreading. If it has been air stacked, it is thus al ready reduced to powder. A good way to slake the fresh or stone lime is to place it in heaps and then cover it thickly with earth, which gradually reduces it to powder, when it may be spread from the wagon. It is common in some places 10 put it when fresh in small heaps over the field, left to slake by rain and air. and then evenly spread from the heaps. Tho quantity to the acre must vary consider ably with the condition of the land, some needing more than others, and experi- ment is required to determine this point usually from twenty-five to fifty bush els to the acre. Formerly much larger quantities were used, and on the other hand smaller amounts have sometimes been as successful The mode we recom- mend for all special fertilizers is con- monly safest-namely, the application to small measured areas, to determine the best course and quantities by actual ex- pertinent

Salt for Cn1vs

If COWS were forced to eat salt by it being put into their food it might do them harm, but it is extremely doubtful if COWS will eat too much salt if they are allowed free access to it and free choice to take it or not. Salt, being an apparent need for the system, will help to keep the animal healthy. This will increase the flow of milk and improve the quail ity. It is believed that salt will do this directly, and that it's use will improve the churning quality of the milk. But salt should be given regularly. If not there will be suffering-at one time from lack of it, and at another time from ex- cess of it. Provide rock salt, and have a place for it where the COWS can always go to it. Put a trough in the yard, or a box in tho side of building (with a roof, CT box under the cattle shed.

Horse Notes.

Professor Wallace does not pretend to say whether it is the case that the darker colored horses are hardier than those of a lighter shade, or the preference for dark varieties is merely matter of taste or fashion. But one thing he does know. and that is in looking through modern show yard the fact is most apparent that white feet and legs are greatly on the increase among the best Clydesdales within recent years. It is well known that white hoofs are not so hard and durable as black hoofs. In farm work the difference wolad not be perceptible, but unquestionably for constant road work on stone pavements the difference must be marked indeed.
 Judicious feeding, pure air and regu- lar work are all that are necessary to keep horses in condition" ard there is no occasion to dose them with medicine to keep them in health. It only becomes necessary on a departure from health. Many horses that are rightly managed go through life and neither require nor receive any medicine.
 A horse to be used for blowing. reap ing, moving. or in any heavy hauling, is generally valuable in exact proportion to his weight, if well balanced animal. and we provide farming implements cor responding with his greater weight.

scAB IN POTATOES.
Causes of This Disease and the Best Known
 Preventives.

Preventives.
 There is a prevailing belief that ex- treme humidity favors the development of the disease. but what further influ- ence the character of the soil has in pro- ducing it is not positively known. During the year 1887 number of trials were made at the New York agricultural ex- pertinent station, in which it was shown that an excess of moisture and the use of fresh stable manure materially in- creased the number of scabby potatoes. The data obtained are summed u4 as fol lows: '1. The scab is not primarily caus- ed by fungus. 9. It is not due to the work of insects. 8. In nearly every in stance an increased yield was accom- panied by an increased percentage of scabby potatoes. 4. Any marked change in the rapidity of growth, either an in- crease or decrease, tends to an increas- ed production of scab 5. A continuous growth from the time of first vegetation until the tuhers are fully matured ap- pears to be the condition least favorable to the production of scabby potatoes"
 Extensive experiments with remedies ANi HOStO hlsAAS iI GileL SpSCidI COIu- mercial fertilizers, while not infallible specifics against scab, are more or less efficient. Mir. E. s. Carman says on the subject: "We have u"ed as much as ton of potato fertiiIzer-which is strong in potash-to tie acre. and yet we har- vested clean potatoes, with smooth skins and without scabs. Not so when fresh farm manure is used. This with us al- most always causes scab by attracting wire worms, which eat into the skin and | give the potato the same corroded sur face as the fungus causes" Those who were present at the harvesting of The Rural New Workers potato contest plot, where the fertilizer used was the Mapes ] potato manure, at the rate of 1,760 pounds to the acre, with a sprinkling of sulphur in the trenches, will remember | that the large product was singularly free ilap scab. Dr. F. M. Hexamer and Dr. HenrA Stewart are numbered among other expeS Snenters who have expressed the opinion N2t special commercial fer tilizers are etNsacious and to be pre- ferred in potato culture to fresh farm yard manure.

 Corn was named as the most profitable crop to grow for the silo.
 A frame building with the sides made air tight by plastering was generally ia vored over silos of stone or brick.
 It was decided that it makes little diff ference whether the silo be filled slow or fast.
 The opinion was advanced that best results are obtained by planting corn for ensilage in rows 3I to feet apart, with the plants about s inchea separate in th, rows.

Circular pieces of wood, the heavier the better. are fitted in both ends, and the pipe is filled with sand or old pieces of lead and dirt well ranmed down to keep it solid. The handle is heavy oak or hickory sapling, split up far enough to make the bow as shown in the cut. An axle may be made of an iron rod running through the blocks in the ends of the pipe and com pletely through the cylinder, or they may be screw bolts running into the blocks. The block should be put in ono end of the pipe and securely nailed; then the pipe should be filled with sand, or other heavy matter, and then the block should be put in the other end, and this should also be well nailed.
