Culture Of Lima Beans.

At the mid-month meeting in
April of the Philadelphia (Pa. }
Grange, DIR. L. Bailey says:
Lima beans are excellent when
used green as shelled beans, or
when used ripe and dry during the
winter. Everyone knows their mer-
its as green beans in summer, but
they are comparatively few who
have found out that the ripe beans
are just as excellent in the winter,
and cooked in the same way as the
common field beans for the table
are the most satisfactory Of any
that can be served.
The Lima beans are natives of O
warm country, and, being there
perennial, require long season.
Those growing them in the North
can only do successfully by short
ening the period Of growth, either
by planting the earlier varieties or
by carefully selecting the soil and
giving particular attention to cul-
tivation. Light and 30 called quick
soils are best, and should have O
warm exposure. Coarse, raw ma
nure should not be given to Lima
beans, because it tends to make too
rank and too late growth.
While it is essential that the Lima
beans should be given the longest
season possible, it is useless TO plant
them before the weather is thor
oughly settled; for, even though
the seeds may germinate, the young
plants will be seriously checked by
inclement weather. Weplant them
q week or ten days after it is safe
to plant the ordinary bush garden
beans. We have our ground very
thoroughly prepared, plant them
about an inch deep in about twice
the quantity which we desire "a
have them stand, and then expect
to keep them growing rapidly un-
Gil they have reached the tops of the
stakes or trellis. II we use stakes,
We plant the beans in hills about
three feet apart, and the rows about
four feet apart, dropping seven or
eight beans in each hill. When the
beans are well up, and danger from
bad weather and cut-worms is past,
we pull out all but three or four.
The poles should not be more than
six feet high. 1f they are taller
than this they are not only expen-
sive to procure and hard to keer
in place, but the beans will run toe
high and grow too late. When
the beans reach the tops Of poles
which are five or six feet high che
ends Of the vines swing out hori.
zontally and the growth il checked,
and the setting Of fruit is thereby,
no doubt, fastened. Many persons
clip back the ends of the vines when
they have reached . certain height,
but | doubt the necessity for this.
1t seems to me that il il better Il

Already great camel-like humr

then By the use Of comparatively
short poles.

short poles.
Sons persons prefer to grow the
beams upon o trellis, and this is the
most economical OF room. In this
way the beans can be planted more
or less continuously, so that the
vines viii eventually stand about n
foot apart. The trellis can be made
very eheaply by placing a very
strong braced post at each end Of
the row and then running a strand
Of fence wire from one post to the
other about eight or nine inches
ssSsu sSsss the the ss9aaa sEsss aIyaal aaqa qlaLuaHatA
placing stakes 1t intervals Of ten
feet. Ordinary wool twine 10 then
run from the bottom to the top
wire and thence to the bottom wire
again, and so on, in q zigzag fash
ion, throughout the length of the
row, placing it in such a manner
that the strands of string will be no
more than q foot or Is inches apart.
This makes q very cheap aud sery-
iceable trellis and is, no doubt, bet.
ter than stakes.
Ii one desires to get his beans
ahead very early he can plant them
in q forcing house or cold frame in
pots or on inverted sods, or in re-
fuse berry boxes, about two weeks
in advance of the time they are to
be set out of doors, when they can
be easily transferred to the ground.
One of our constituents says that
he always grcases his Lima beans
thoroughly with lard when he plants
them, and is thereby able to plant
his crop week or ten days ahead
OF the usual time, because the grease
preserves the beans from rotting.
We have not tried this method and
do not know what value it has. It
is an easy matter to transplant Lima
beans, even when they are not
grown in pots or boxes, If the
ground is moist when they are ia
ken up SO that large lump of
earth adheres to the roots and il
the weather is somewhat humid fol-
lowing the transfer.
But, in spite of all that can be
done, nearly every variety Of the
large Lima beans will fail to ma
ture its full crop in the north be-
fore frost. II half the pods which
the vines have set should mature
before frost comes, the grower may
feel that he has been very success
full.
The green pods which remain at
frost time, il the beans are partial
ly grown, can be picked, the beans
shelled out and dried, and these
can be used in the winter time to
as good advantage as il they were
thoroughly ripe. IL these dried
beans are soaked in water for some
time before they are cooked they
are scarcely inferior TO green beans
directly from the vine.

All this time the WIND blew fierce
~ ana the waves ran higher and
hlgner. Ihe wlnd was directly
against the current at this point,
ana the boat drifted with painful
slowness, having covered less than
two miles since the accident. FL
naily, when passengers, provisions,
hgnt furniture, bedding, etc., had
peen transferred to one barge and
the ive STOCK TO another, and when
her after guards were already under

tom on the port side. The rush OF
water to the opposite side caused
her TO list sharply, and for single
moment the danger OF capslzlng act
uaiiy seemed imminent. The water
on the starboard being deep the
widest excitement prevailed among
the passengers who were looking on
from their place OF safety on the
barge.
IL was at this crisis that the head

ana prevented 1t.
AT this Juncture something gave
way and depressed q wire leading to
the pilot-house, cousing the steam
whistle to set up dismal WALL pro-
duclng general distraction until the
wire was cut.
The water by this time was from
two to three feet deep on the lower
deck, from the fire-doors ait, and
the doomed vessel was setting SO
unevenly as to create apprehension
that she would break in two.
One of the barges was a tightly
decked model, with commodious
hatchways, such as ID used for the
transportation OF grain in bulk, and
in the hold of this the passengers
were soon comfortably housed, and
provided with stoves, chairs, bed
ding and other conveniences.
In this novel manner the night
was spent.
After a very good supper, pre-
pared by the cooks on the slued
deck of the cookhouse, strains from
Lucins' fiddle arose above the howl
of the wind and the angry tapping
Of the waves without.

SOAR OF AScIEST ORIGIN
Soap is not q modern invention.
IL is twice mentioned in the Bible,
first in Jeremiah and again in NAL
achi. History tells us that more
than 1000 years ago the Gauls
manufactured it by combining
beech tree ashes with goats fat.
Al early as 700 A. ID. there were
many soap factories in both Italy
and Spain, and about $50 A. ID.
Phenicians introduced the business
into France, the first factories be-
ing established at Marsailles.
