beine I'll to-day there was only one game played
in the international chess tournament, the one
between PiIlsbury snd Lasker. The American
player won, and thereby takes the undisputed
lead over Lasker by the odd game.
Pillsbury tried a Ruy Lopez, which Lssker DE-
Tended by means OF 3..P-Q r ., and some
fine and sound play was shown on both sides
In the opening, while the middle game was fun
of interesting positions. In spite OF repeated
attempts neither side was able to gain any
advantage until the end game stage was reached
II was here Plllsbury managed TO accumulate
little advantages, and finally built up posi-
ton which carried the day after forty-nys
moves
Pillsbury's play especially in the end game
was much admired by the spectators. who con-
sidered his victory the best he mas so far
achieved In this tournament Following Is the

An interesting indication OF Japanese progress
Is to be found in the reported intention Of the
Government TO establish dockyard and gun
factory through an arrangement with we'll
known English firm There is nothing improb-
able in such a rumor. On the contrary, it is
characteristic Of the spirit which has animated
Japan since the forces Of civilization overlook
It, and especially during the recent past, that it
should desire to be in position to build It's own

procure the help of foreign firm, with the

this city will early seek the passage OF a law

taken by Mayor Strong. The number Of the in

TO nearly 10000 and the cost Of maintaining

By the faithful execution Of the corporation and

BEAN CULTURE.

Beans thrive best on soil that. is
light and warm. Glover sod is the
best land. While they will grow and
mature crops on ground where moth
ing else will live, it is also true that.
IL tho best results are desired, fertili.
cation and cultivation are rs necessary
for them as for any other crop. It is
surprising that they should be 20
much neglected, as they always com
mand good price, and are profitable.
Their culture is largely limited to Ger
tain sections of the country, New
York, Ohio and Indiana being the
growers of this crop. But New York
is the chief bean producer. It is esti.
mated that nearly half of all the beans
grown in tho United States are raised
in that State, and Brockport is said
to BIO the greatest bean market in tho
world.
Not being hardy vegetable, beans
should not be planted while there is
any danger of frost. AS they have a
short growing season, this is an i'd
vantage, as they may be made to take
tho place of somo early crop which
has failed. The best returns nre OBJ
tained by planting in drills three feet
apart and tho plants six inches apart
in the row. This will give tho plant
plenty of room to grow and mature.

SWEET POTATOES

New jersey is the most northerlv
State whore the sweet potato is exten-
slvely cultivated, although crops have
matured Mt tho experiment STATIONS of
Nebraska and Now York, says u re.
cent farmers bulletin. Tho sweet
potato is most commonly propagated
by mems of buds from roots planted
III hotbeds, and the shoots as they de-
volop are planted in tho field. Cut
Ings FROM these vines are often rooted
and transplanted for the main crop.
The plant rarely natures seed in the
United States. Ninety days after the
sets are transplanted early varieties
will be ready to dig for use. The best
growth is made in warm, sandy, we'll
drained, AMI even dry, soil. The
greatest care in harvesting is neces-
sary to prevent bruising tho roots in
handling, for the skin is very tender
and wounded roots are sure to decay.
They are pest preserved by being kept
III q temperature of seventy-five do-
grees for fortnight after digging,
and then lowering tho temperature
and keeping it during the winter Mt
from nifty to sixty degrees in dry ut
mosphore.
RATHER moro than two thirds of the
weight OF the sweet.potnto root is
water. Three pounds of tho roots af-
lord MS much dry matter us one pound
OF corn, but only about half us much
protein. On sandy soil, however,
more dry matter to tho acre can be Sc
cured with crop of sweet potatoes
than with crop of corn. Tho young
leaves and tender sprouts of the plant
nre sometimes prepared and eaten
like spinach, and the vines, although
they IRE usually left to decay in tho
field, can be probably used as food
for cattle. They are better fed green
than cured into hay, and they cannot
be successfully made into ensilage.
