CULTURE OF BEANS.
The Requirements for Their Successful
= Growth, 18th Hints for uaryestine

/ A"o lntif successful
Growth, with Hints for Harvesting,
Beans require 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
on gravelly loan does well, After all,
mellow cultivation is one of the most
Important requisites. An inverted sod,
made mellow commonly answers a good
purpose, The crop should DO planted
When the soil becomes warm, some days
litter 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. The rows are planted
about thirty inches apart with one
horse planter, which puts in two rows at
time. Ii the surface of the soil before
planting is made smooth and level with
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. 1t should be repeated about once
a week till the blossoms make their first
appearance, working close to the rows
and picking out all weeds If 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
stalks an inch or two below the surface
of the ground, by means of a sharp steel
blade drawn diagonally, When pretty
dry they are placed in piles with four
rows of punches TO allow the team to
pass. These punches are only large
enough for one forkful each, with the
common barley fork. Country Gentle
man, authority for the foregoing, says
that horse fork is good for unloading.
The punches are usually turned over to
dry the bottoms, in doing which the two
are brought nearer together, to make
space for the team to pass. The thrash
ing machine should run at low speed and
have round teeth to prevent injury to
the beans. Much of the profit of bean
culture" remarks a successful cultiva-
tor, depends on the skill in fitting them
for the eastern market"

1t has been found that some of the
nonsaccharine sorghums are among the
best of drought resisting grasses. These
sorghums will compare favorably with
corn in the amount and quality of the
seed they will produce. German millet
gives good yield of hay in Kansas,
where it has been tested, and following
it closely are the Hungarian, broom corn
and Wonder millet.

that these are debts of honor in the full

from practical wagers on puts and calls.

and his once famous partner, George
Crouch, being of English parentage.
He went to California in boyhood, be-
came lawyer, and while conducting
mining cases was led into speculation.
His success was wonderful. One day he
sprung trap on Flood and O'Brien and
cleared $s,5O0,00 in Belcher and Crown
Point. and another time made 100000
in Ophir. In 1876 he went to New York
with about $5,O00,000. Wall street Cos
sip ran to the effect that he had said he
came east with a parlor car full of cash
to drain Jay Gould, and that Gould re-
piled that he would send Mr.. Keene
home in freight car
He didit-almost. Keene was crushed,
but remained in New York. At first he
and Mr.. Crouch We're partners with Mr..
Gould in Atlantic and Pacific telegraph
stock. In 1873 Mr.. Keene was embar-
raised and gave up his fine house. In
1881 he was FISHER than ever His son,
the famous Foxhall Keene, was king of
the turf. Both We're triumphant.
Mr. James Keene studied the situation
and decided that the long depression of
1899 was to be followed by as many
years of continuous boom. 1t wasn't.
The public knows the rest. At one time
he lost $3,O00,00O in wheat. In 1888
everything dropped. Jay Gould never
for one hour relaxed his relentless pur-
suit. His brokerS and secret agents,
headed by the active Wash Conner, beat
down every stock which Keene held. On
the last day Of his battle the latter paid
$l75,O00 cash margins on his declining
stocks, then posted his bankruptcy. He
moved his family toa modest dwelling
at Far Rockaway, dispersed his fine
stable and started at the bottom. Surely
every generous heart will rejoice to
learn that he is coming up again.

ForetoId Her Death.

Addie Collier, aged IA, who lived with
her parents at Augusta, Ga, is said to
have foretold her death.
In the morning she said: "The great white
man is coming to me just before dark" She
repeated this several times, but no one paid
particular attention to it. Later in the day
she told several of the neighbors the same
thing. II have seen the great white man way
up in the skies, and he says he was coming for
me just before the sun goes down" said Addie
to her neighbors. AS the day wore on she kept
repeating this. She went to bed in the after
noon and began to say her prayers. The fami-
ly and number of neighbors who had heard
what she had said surrounded the bed. and just
the clock on the mantle piece tolled the hour
of Addie said the time is nearly come Slowly
the minute hand of the clock moved ON and
more anxious became the watchers. When the
hand reached $40 O'Clock Addie said: Good
by, world 1 am going up in the Skies" and as
the last word left her lips her soul took itz
flight. She was dead.
