BEANS For TIE eAnpES.

In raising beans it must be borne in
mud that all varieties not only require
harvesting before frost in the fall, but
that they are so sensitive 10 cold and wet
that it is useless TO plant them before all
danger of frost is past in the spring. 1t
is quite the best plan TO defer the plant
ing until the ground has become warm
and CRY enough to cause quick growth
of the seed, for in Il cold, wet soil the
most of the seeds planted will lie and rot.
AS beans for the table, the Lima for green
shclled pole beans, and the wax for string
less pods arc common favorites of the two
varieties, but any attempt to hasten the
maturity OF either by too early planting
will result in disappointment The
limas should be planted in hills about
four feet apart, with from four TO six
seeds to the hill, of which train about
three of the best vines to n pole. The
poles should be set before the beans are
planted and be about eight feet i'll height.
The wax beans should be planted in rows
about two and half feet apart, either in
hills or drilled with the seed from two to
three inches apart. In neither case should
they hc cultivated, except where the
vines arc quite dry, for dirt falling on the
foliage when wet or damp will cause rust
and injurc the quality and yield. -Me,o

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Keep the safety of the queen in view.
Keep the raspberry bushes pinched
back.
A golden rule in excepting is to keep
your colonies strong.
Until experience has dissipated n fear
OF bee stings wear Il veil and gloves.
When the heifer is about two years
old she is at the best aye for breeding
for the first time.
Tine erindstone will help wonderfully
IN the garden work if you let the hoe
keep it company occasionally. Try it.
Wesley Dibble recommends the queen
excluding honey board in preference to
the queen excluder ON the entrance to the
hives.
Pork may be produced during the cold
weather, with corn at twenty eight cents
per bushel, for less than three cents per
pound.
Indian corn is the most economical
k-producing material during the win
Ter months i'll regions where extensively
grown.
Have mulch of some kind to keen
the Strawberries out OF the dirt. Grass
cut and put on while green will make a
good one.
Grit is an important factor in success
fu poultry-keeping. The keeper requires
it in his character, and the fowls must
have it in their crops.
BE careful of the young colts A little
care in selecting proper food for them
will pay good dividends. Ensilagc or
roots do colts great good.
Brecding-ducks may become too fat to
do well. Beware of feeding too large
proportion of corn. They need bulky
vegetable food as well as grain.
The farmers horse is the horse that
will do the work required of a horse on
the farm with perfect ease, one that is
good walker and at least n fair road
ster.
Many localities produce honey dark in
color the entire season. In this case,
advises II. ID. Cutting, Michigan apiar-
ian, it is best to work entirely for ex-
tractcd honey.
Never change suddenly from one kind
Of feed TO another that is radically differ
ent. For instance, in changing from dry
TO green, or from green to dry feeding,
make the change gradually.
II is always desirable to secure good
yield of fruit, but at the same time it is
positive injury 10 tree to have it over

of such fruit will not be up to the
standard

while under the new system it can be

When not too badly damaged plaster

been girdled. 1t is best, of course, to
prevent, but sometimes accidents of this
kind will happen, and remedy should
be applied rs soon as possible.
Only those who strive to acquire n
thorough knowledge of the business, such
knowledge as comes from observation
and from actual experience, and whose
hearts are in the work, can hope to
achieve the greatest success in horse
breeding.
The estimated cost of hauling 100
bushels of grain in wagon over ordinary
country roads is sixty cents mile. This
fact illustrates the necessity and money

cost of hauling is immensely in favor of
