BEANS AND PEAS.

There is need in our farming rota-
tion to use more fully the leguminous
plants, such as clover, peas, beans,
lupines, etc. These plants not only
furnish with hay and corn a more
complete ration for feeding stock than
hay and corn alone, but they also
furnish means of improving the land
in manner that can not be done
without them except by buying ex-
pensive fertilizers. There is nothing
that furnishes a better preparation
for a good crop of corn or potatoes or
almost any other crop than good
clover sod; where land is too poor to
start clover it must be enriched either
by manuring or by green manuring
with lupines and vetches, which will
thrive on poorer land than clover.
Peas and beans are grown largely
by our market farmers for selling
green, and any surplus is often dried
and threshed but l4rge part of the
supply of dried beans and peas used
in our city markets comes from Cana
da and various European countries
where the culture of these crops is
better understood than here. The
climate of our Northern States is well
adapted TO growing these crops, and
there is no good reason why our farm
ers cannot grow at profit large part
of the million and half of dollars
worth of these crops now imported.
One drawback to the successful grow
ing of beans of late years is the blight
or rust which attacks the leaves and
pods and seriously damages the crop
IN many cases. II is now well under
stood that this disease is caused by a
par site fungus and can be success
f,lly warded off by spraying with
Bordeaux mixture.
There is danger that "Boston baked
beans" may have to be called by some
other name if we have to import our
supply of them. Rally, then, all We
patriotic farmers, and save us from
GLch humiliation!
The use of peas as field crop sown
with oats and harvested either in the
green state for fodder or made into
hay, later, is increasing in New Eng
land and deserves to increase still
more, There are few crops that will
give better satisfaction in the long
run, we believe, than these on the
dairy farm.
There are also many farms at a dis
tance from market where the growing
of peas and beans to be threshed and
sold dry would prove an important
addition to the marketable products
and valuable addition to the farm
rotation. Massachusetts Ploughman.

that men who work in carbon facfo-

Highest Windmill in the World.

A windmill of somewhat remarkable
proportions, and placed upon a tower
which is said to be the highest ever
erected for that purpose, has been put
up by A. ]. Corcoran upon the prop
erty of Prescott Hall Butler, at st.
James, Long Island Several wind
mills of equal power had been previ-
ously erected by Mr.. Corcoran, but
upon towers not exceeding 125 feet
high, while the present tower is 100
feet high. This was done because the
spring from which it was desired to
pump water was upon the beach and
at times covered by the tide, the
ground rising rapidly from this point,
so that it was necessary to raise the
wheel to a very considerable height in
order that it might be above all OBJ
structions within 1000 feet from it.
Twenty barrels of concrete, forty bar
rels of cement, 10000 bricks, $4,000
feet of Georgia pine and more than
six tons of bolts, washers and iron
plates were used in its construction.
The mill that surmounts this tower is
22t feet in diameter and pumps water
through 5000 feet of pipe to a height
of 223 feet. 1t delivers water to a
reservoir of capacity for 65, 600 gal
Ions, which it has filed in two days. -

PLANTING STRAWBERRIES,

In the majority of cases, the spring
of the year is the best season for plant
ing strawberries. When the plants
are received from the nursery, they
should be unpacked at once and spread
out IN n cellar, to prevent heating,
and in planting the roots should not
be exposed to the sun or air. The
ground should be free from weeds, and
ellfertilized. The rows may be thirty
inches apart, plants one foot apart in
the row. They need to be frequently
cultivated to keep down all weeds,
which are the strawberry grower &
greatest enemy. In the autumn, after
the ground has become firmly frozen,
the plants should be covered with
leaves, clean straw, or corn fodder,
Stable manure should not be used on
these beds, because full of seeds.
Strawberry beds should be renewed
every two or three years if the best
fruit is desired. .-American Agricul-
turist.

''Although Congressman gets
hbout S13. so day in The way Of sal
ary," said an old-time House attache,
''there are a great many men in the
lower branch of Congress who are nj.
ways short of money. Quite a num-
Der spend their income recklessly, but
a great many have legitimate domestic
expenses that run so close to the
amount of their salary that they have
hard picking at times to get along. A
considerable number of members dis.
count their salaries at the banks.
They are charged something like 81
per cent, and if the total of this ac-
count were made public, it would
make remarkable showing. 1t is by
no means the new or younger mem
bers who are oftenest short before sal
ary day comes around. Many Of tho
older members, who have sat in the
House for years, are in this predica-
ment quite frequently. Many of them
are men of irreproachable habits, but
with large and expensive families to
support and with heavy political OBJ
legations at homo forming constant
drain on their oxchequer which they
cannot get rid of. 1 learn that there
is quite a little unexpended balance
remaining unclaimed of the appro.
priation to pay mileage for the extra
session. This is due to the fact that
there are members so conscientious
that they think they have no moral
right to touch that money and have
never claimed it. A number of these
are men who actually need the money,
but they are too scrupulously honest
TO demand it, although its expenditure
was authorized by House and Senate. "

COST OF FEEDING POULTRY.

A well-fed hen should lay ten dozen
eggs in year. Some will do better
than this. One dollar year will sup
ply the hen with ample food, and less
il the wastes of the house are kept for
them. At ten cents dozen, the hen
pays for her feed and she will rear a
brood of ten or twelve chicks. This is
q safe basis for figuring in the poultry
business when the person is careful
and experienced. New York Times

out reaping drunkenness. 1t sold a drink
OF whisky to n man, that man would sell

pnIXK AND AcoIpnNrs.

A Belgian paper piblishes curious table
respecting the accidents of workingmen zor
which indemnity claims were mado in 1898.
Classified according to tho days of the week
on which they occurred, these accidents
were distributed as follows Mondays, $40
cases Tuesdays, 759 cases Wednesdays, 734
cases Thursdays, Col cases Fridays, 7l2
cases Saturdays, S11 cases Sundays, SIG
cases.
The striking thing is the great number OF
Monday victims, consequence, that paper
says, not OF the resting. but OF their Sunday
drinking. BY Thursday the effect of Sunday
drinking has been reduced to minimum,
and even unlucly Friday has far better
immunitythan blue Monday. Saturday acct
dents are numerous, but this fact is said by
the Belgian Labor Bureau to be due to the
unusual number OF falls from stnirways and
windows and ladders incident 10 tho Satur-
day cleaning-up. Taking the country through
the Belgian journal estimates that upward
OF 600 accidents happened TO workingmen
on Mondays and Tuesdays, due solely to tho
influence OF Sunday drink. This is an inn
portant consideration bearing upon the
question OF employers liability for such ac-
cidents. Must they indemnity the Incorporate
as we'll as the ahstemious? II thoy are bound
TO pay for accidents, should they not have
the right Of supervising tho habits OF their
workingmen so rs to guard their safety and
their own pockets?

at LeeChf Park.
Born-At high noon yesterday, q son, to
Tony, wife of the late Jack Sea Lion, of
Leschi park.
Shortly after noon yesterday Superin-
tendent Haas, of the Yesler avenue street
car line, was surprised al receiving 4 mes
sage from Mr.. Riley. who keeps a fruit
stand az Leschi PARK. TO send down a nurse
to the sea lions in the tank. Mr. Haas
and two or three of the employees hsstend
down TO the tank and found upon the plat
form the sea lion Tony. with little baby
lion at her side. The mother fondIed
the newcomer much as a cat does kitten
and lifted II about from place to place by
grasping the loose skin.
The baby lion is about eighteen inches
long, has head that resembles a pug dog,
and the body is covered with short stiff
hair of steel gray color. He lay in the
sun for nearly an hour after seeing light
for the first time, while the mother
crawled back and forth over it and putting
her face TO the little ones as IL kissing IT,
Tony appeared to be overjoyed at having
son and kept Blinkey, the other sea lion,
off the float. Blinkey, so called because
she has but one eye. was much excited at
the advent OF an heir to the big sea lion
Jack, who died about FIVE weeks ago, and
took 10 the water, swimming about al a
furious rate all the afternoon. She refused
TO eat anything and remained under water
most of the time.
superintendent Haas caused a platform
TO be placed alongside the float so Tony
and the baby could get on it. As
the workmen pulled the platform into
position Tony became scared, and, grab
bing her baby by the nape OF the neck,
plunged into the water and went under
the stand. IL was feared that this would
drown the baby. but Tony brought him
back all right in a few minutes.
IL will be three days before the baby will
be able 10 swim, and by Saturday or Sun
day Tony will give him lessons in swim
ming and diving. To make the little one
more comfortable. an addition TO the tank
is being built, with sand beach accom-
paniment. This will anable the sea lions

The sea lions in Leschi park were bought
in California about three years ago. There
were at that time four of them
One escaped from the tank and was cap
tnred at Ballard, being returned to the
tank, where n few weeks later she gave
birth To a pup which died. Five weeks
ago the big male, Jack. was found dead,
which left remaining Tony and Blinkey

THE STATE CAPITOL
Can Only Be Built Out of the Proceeds
of Land sales

Can Only Be Built Out of the Proeeeds
of Land sales.
1t has been stated by several weekly
newspapers with Populistic tendencies
that the state was to be run into debt In
order TO get money for the building oil the
capitol. This statement was brought 10
the attention of Judge Burke. one OF the
commissioners, yesterday, who said:
s'rhere is no ground for the report which
seems 10 have gained currency In some
qusrters that the state capitol com mlssion
proposes to run the state IN debt millon
OF dollars to build the state capitol
Neither the commission nor any OF It's
members would favor such course even
if the commission had the power TO create
such liability on the part oil the state,
which it clearly has not.
Under the constitution ana laws OF tnis
state the capitol can be built only GU. OF
the proceeds of the sales of land granted 10
the state of Washington for that express
purpose. The state cannot go In oept 10
build the capitol; nor can taxes, spectai or
general. be levied for such an object.
ssFhe provision made in lands. nameIy,
49,, 600 acres, for the construction Oh the
capitol ought to be ample to build capi-
toll costing a million OF dollars wi,hout
calling upon the taxpayers for any heip.
Competent judges say II is, but whether II
is or not the law says. In effect. that the
capitol must be built out OF the proceeds
of these lands or not at all.
