If the roots have not been puddled 1t is
better not to tread down, but when the

sufficient water to well soak the soil and

remaining soil, and this will absorb any
overplus of water and prevent the surface

but there are not very many farmers OF
this class. The majority of farmers can
very easily prepare the land and pant
properly five times the area that he can
properly cultivate and harvest when made
with his own. unaided help. When the
average small farmer is asked why he
does not sow a goodly area of grain or an
acre or two of clover, turnips, etc, IA
September or October the usual reply is
that he has not the time that il is as much
as he can do to save the crop already
made. Cotton is to be picked, corn 10
be housed, peas to be picked, hay to be

toes to be dug and banked. All of this

lar labor. Extra labor is almost invari-
ably used. for it is cheaper in the end to
pay so much for the picking per hundred

whatever for the farmer and his regular

of extra labor than he would at any other

Editor Morning News: Seeing a notice
Of sofa beans in the Morning News last
spring, 1 secured some seed and planted
about IA acres. The growth is fine and
heavily fruited and l suppose the fruit
will soon be in condition to gather. Can
you advise me how should manage?
Ought the fruit be picked and bushes al
lowed to remain on the ground, or ought
bushes be cut and cured beans and all,
for hay?
Is there a market for the beans? Where?
and at what price?
If beans have to be kept for a future
market how could weavels be kept out of
them? ] do not like to appear in print, but
would like to know how to manage the
beans so as to get most out of them. So
far this section seems admirably adapted
to their growth John Tillman.
SOFA beans are not worth very much for
hay purposes. You must either pick the
beans as they ripen, or cut them just as
the first ones begin to ripen, and house
them; then thresh out little later Give
the vines to the land. The beans are sala-
bic at a price ranging from 81 to "a per
bushel. The beans are excellent food boil
cd and baked after the manner of the eel
ebrated Boston BEANS
Leave most of the vines on the land
cutting off just enough of them to get the
beans and no more. The beans shatter as
soon as the pods get dry and it becomes
necessary that they be cut, frequently as
soon as the first show signs of ripening
Where one has plenty of labor it is better
to pick them by hand, otherwise use
common grass blade and cut as high as
possible

Can we afford to slaughter some of
our very best friends, the knocking add
other useful birds, asks the Farm and
Ranch.
There may be some of the feathered
tribes that are a nuisance. AS such. the
writer would name the oriole. They are
quite numerous in Texas. They build their
nests out of grass all over our orchards
and actually feed their young on the
ripening fruit
If your correspondent, who complains
that they are eating his plums, etc, will
plant him one or more dozen of the over
bearing mulberries-Hck's are probably
the best-he will find that his birds will
eat berries and leave other fruit alone;
at least, such has been the case with the
writer
But if man gets to talking OF want
ing to kill hooking birds. then he GER
tainly does not know what is good for
him.
Somewhat under the impression that
everything existing is placed here by the
Advise Creator for some purpose, the
writer does not like TO kill birds of any
kind. AS result, surrounded by plenty
of trees in the open prairie, we have
birds by the thousands all over our place
L Having some find Herbemont grapes q
few years ago, we found the hooking
birds eating and wasting them very bad
ly. Wanting to make wine out of the
grapes, we pondered over 1t seriously as
to whether it would not be best to use
powder and shot for a few days Not in
the best frame of mind for a Christian.
l walked one morning from the grape
arbor over to the newly planted garden,
fully resolved that when next coming 10
town l would have to get that powder and
lead.
Just then hooking bird came past me,
lighting among the cabbage plants and
catching one of the white butterflies
which is the parent of the very terror of
us gardeners. the destructive cabbage
worm. Looking about closer, / counted
all of ten or more of the raseals along
on fence posts, just watching and as |
thought, winking at me, just as If they
wanted to say, Watch me now pay for
them grapes" Standing and looking a
few moments, l discovered that just as
soon as moth of any kind showed itself
about the garden, even forty and fifty
yards distant from the fence posts where
the birds stood like sentinels, they were
caught and devoured. 1t is needless 10 say
that the powder and shot that 1 thought
was needed SO badly al the time Is in
town to this day.
The amount of worms. millers and the
various insects that pair Of hooking
BIRDS feed to their young in season IS
enormous.
In the writer's case they eat perhaps
s. worth of grapes a year; for this they
are rendering US services amounting to
hundreds OF dollars.
The quail is another bird we do not
permit to be killed about us. II a man
tells US that he had rather kill the birds
eating his grapes than snare with them
and then complain about the many in
sects, etc, Fostering his farm and gar
den crops, the writer cannot help but
feel like wanting to kick such a man.

TranspIanting Evcrgreens.

From the middle of August to the mid
die of October according to the latitude)
is the best season for transplanting con-
ferrous evergreens, says an exchange. The
seasons growth is then matured, the
earth is warm and the nights are cool. I'm
der these circumstances new roots are
rapidly made; the trees get established
before winter sets in, and they are thus
less liable to be injured by the cold rains
and high winds of the late autumn and
winter. In removing them from the nurs-
cry great care must be taken not to al
low the roots to become dried. More trees
are lost in transplanting from this one
cause than from all others put together.
They should, If possible, be puddled as
soon as they are taken up, but at any
rate, puddled when received-a process
which excludes the air from the roots and
keeps them moist Pudding is dipping the
roots into a mixture of finely pulverized
soil and water, made into the consistence
of thick cream, which adheres to and en-
cases the roots and protects them from
the injury otherwise arising from expos
ure to the atmosphere.
The trees should be replanted with the
least possible delay, and the earth well
pulverized before being thrown ovr the
roots. During the filling in the tree if not
too large, should be shaken up and down
so that the earth may fill up the. inter-
stices between the roots and the earth
should afterwards be well trodden down.
