some of your many readers what kind is best,
market price, productiveness, ETC., being consid-
cred. have never raised beans for market.
Fort Ogden, Fla. J. S. G.
In market gardening the chief and most
important point is to get the produce to
the market as early as possible. This
being the case we would advise the plant
ing of only the earliest varieties, and
would recommend Earliest Red Valentine,
Early Mohawk and Yellow Six Weeks
We would like to hear from some of our
proclaimed market gardeners on this sub
ject.

Horticultural Hints.

Sow the lawn.erass seed early
so as to give the young grass a
chance to become we'll rooted be
fore summer.
Don't be afraid to cut out the
canes from raspberries literally
and cut them low down. Too
many canes in hill will not pro
duce as well as a few strong aud
stOcky ones.
When trimming grape vines let
them be cut aud trained so as to
admit of the air, and sunshine
loo much shade is sometimes the
cause Ofrot, as it invites moisture,
Trim The vines while the weather
is cold.
A cheap remedy for grape rot is
to begin early in the season, and
scatter air Slaked lime freely over

ground but the vines. 1t should
be repeated at least once a month,

the crop. Such is the recOmmen

Euqs for Market,

If your object Is to keep hens
for the purpose of selling egs, do
not keep lot of useless males to
feed. The presence of a male who
has no influence whatever on the
laying of eggs, and, if anything, he
is a nuisance when not desired
Bear IN mind, also, that eggs land
by hens not with males will keep
three times as long as will those
that contain the germs Of chick 5.
The best laying breeds are the
small ones, such as Leghorns, and
more OF them can be kept together
than the larger kinds. For eggs
use the LeghOrn, or a cross of the
LeghOrn, and keep no males. II
you desire eggs for Matching make
up a special yard for that purpose
and get rid OF the males as soon
as the Matching season is over

Breeding Fowls for Eggs.

We believe heartily in purchas-
ing fowls and eggs for Matching tor
the Improvement of farmers hocks
OF poultry. JudiciOus mixture OF
breeds, or the trial of a breed in its
purity, will accomplish much. But
that, of course, is not all there is
10 breeding. In the same flock,
out of the same litter of pure bred
fowls, will be some that have a
greater capacity for egg production
than others. Save the eggs from
these for setting. Keep on in this
selection for egg products, while
most breeders are distractlng their
efforts by giving their attention to
a dozen less important points. In
a few years you may thus create a
distinct breed, whose special excel
lence will he the production of
more eggs in a year than hens ever
produced before. When this
excellence is assured in any breed,
its owner can get fancy prices for
eggs whose progeny will prove
true to this characteristic, though
fancy prices for eggs will not be
needed to enable the owners of
such fowls to make them profitable.
But take care when you begin not
to handicap yourself with your
present poor stock. Get the eggs
of the best laying breeds to begin
with, aud make your experiments
with as much of an advance as
breeders up to now have been able
to give you.

SHIFTING" A MAN.
4 LAUGHABLE TRICK WHICH CAN
BE PERFORMED BY ANY
AMATEUR.

An extraordinary and most
laughable feat is that OF removing
a mans shirt before he is hardly
aware Of it, and without taking of
either his coat or vest.
To do4h;;s successfully requires
considerable tact and very quick
actions on the part of the operator.
+ One professional magician is 80 ex'
pert that he can produce This re-
sult in IL seconds. An amateur
should soon acquire the knack OF
dong it in half a minute. Select
your subject, not person of the
dude make up, with a skin'tlght
suit, but some goOd-natured, every
day sort Of a fellow, whose clot1-
ing fits him easily.
Tell him to keep cool.
Then, begin your operations in
earnest by quickly pulling of his
collar and necklie and unbuttOning
his shirt behind. Pull his shirt
from his breeches, up his back,
and, with strong exertiOn, get IL
right over his head. THIS is by no
means hard. You now have IT
across his stomach. Loosen bis
sleeves, and, grasping the end OF
one nearest his hand, pull it of his
arm. You can DO this successfully,
if he limbers his arms and does not
resist some rather stretching work
on your part. After one arm Is
freed of the shirt, 1t is easv TO re-
move It from the other. The shirt
will then come of, to the astOnish
ment Of all.
As previously stated, the effect
of this trick depends entirely upon
your adrOitEess. 1t is well to
throw shawl or sheet over the
subjects body when you are about
to pr, sent this exhibition, that
those present may not discover
your method of operating.

A Beautiful Incident.

A young man who had been on
three days debauch wandered
into the reading.rOOm Of a hotel
where he was well known, sat down
and stared mOodily into the street.
Presently little girl Of about ten
years came in, and looked timidly
about the room. She was dressed
in rags, but had sweet, intelli'
gent face that scarcely fail to ex-
cite sympathy. There we're five
persons in the room, and she went
to each begging. Que gentleman
gave her "A fiye-cent piece, and she
went to the gentleman spoken OF,
and asked him for penny, adding,
81 haven't had anything to eat for
whole day" The gentleman was
out of humOr, and be said, Grossly,
"DOn't bother me; | haven't had
ANYTHING to eat for three days"
The child opened her eyes in shy
wonder, and stared at him for a
moment, and then walked slowly
toward the door. She turned the
Enob, and then, after hesitating a
few seconds, walked up to him, and
gently laying the FIVE cents on his
knee, said, with tone OF tue
glrlish pity in her voice: "If you
haven't had any thing to eat for
three days, you take this and 60
and buy some bread. Perhaps ]
can get more somewhere" The
young man bIushed to the roots OF
his hair, and lifting the child in
his arms, kissed her two or three
times in delight. Then he took her
to the persons in the room, and
those in the corridor and office, and
asked contributions, giving himself
all the money he had with him.
He succeeded 10 raising over forty
dollars and sent the little one on
her way rejoicing.

DOCTORING SICK FOWLS.


1t never pays to doctor sick
hens. The time lost is more valu-
able than the fowl. AS soon as we
find any droopy fowl, we at once
remove it to separa to quarters and
try some mild remedy. If the bird
grows worse, our next remedy is
the hatchet. For roup nothing Is
better than kerosene. We give a
tablespoonful once or twice a day,
according to the severity of the
case. For canker, we take "spec,
slice it about like earth worms,
and sprinkle literally with cay enne
pepper, and force down the throat.
For droopy conditions we give a
tablespoonful of castor oil. So we
run through the whole list OF
ailments. We believe in simple
remedies. If these fail, then we
close operations.
We believe in prevention
We admit that it Is utterly i'm
possible to entirely prevent sick
ness, but two-thirds of the ailnents
