II is the general belief, or at least the
common practice. to have the entrance
toward the south. While conceding
that there may he some reasons for this
practice, Eugene Secor thinks any other
point as good if not better. He says in
Farmer and Breeder: "A southern en-
trance is more likely to entice the bees
out in the spring. or late in the fall.
when the weather is too cool for bees to
fly and when it would be better that
they remain in the hive. In the heat of
summer. too, southern entrance is
most undesirable. Ii is more difficult
to shade that side when accommodation
for flying bees is needed.
IAN eastern entrance is quite obiec-
tionable. 1t is the point toward the
morning sun, and perhaps bees may see
the light little earlier in the morning
during the honey season.
Il have used north front with a good
deal of satisfaction. 1t is cool in sum
mer. The hive is easily shaded In
summer the morning sun shines first OIL
the north side of the hive. The en-
trance can be entirely closed ON cvol
days in the spriAs if the north wind
blows. prefer north entrance to a
south"

CULTURE OF BEANS.


The Requirements for Their Successful
Growth. with Hints for Harvesting.
Beans require a strong soil for their
successful production; according to an
alysis they are even more exhausting than
wheat, and uniform calcareous loan is
one of the best, although good sandy
or grayelly loam does well. After all,
mellow cultivation is one of the most
important requisites. An inverted sod,
made mellow commonly answers good
purpose. The crop should be planted
when the soil becomes warm, some days
after corn planting. late varieties TO be
planted first and early ones afterward.
The pea varieties require half bushel
to the acre: medium, three-fourths. and
the marrows a bushel These are the
kinds most planted. I ne rows are planted
about thirty inches apart with one
horse planter, which puts in two rows at
time. If the surface of the soil before
planting is made smooth and level with
a smoothing harrow. and afterward
rolled. the planter will put the seed in
at a uniform depth and in straight rows.
Cultivation begins ten days after plant
ing. the implement cutting the weeds
without throwing the earth against the
plants. II should be repeated about once
week till the blossoms make their first
appearance, working close TO the rows
and picking out all weeds. II neglected.
the crop is partly ruined. Never work
them when the ground is wet. Com
mence harvesting as soon as the pods
and leaves begin to turn yellow. The
different harvesting machines cut the
