To Prevent weevil in Beans.

add a little bisulphide of carbon and
cover the vessel for short time. Ben
zine or gasoline is sometimes used for
the same purpose. No light or fire must
be brought near these substances,ast they
are very infiammable. This treatment
will not injure the beans, either for
seed or table use. The weevils may also
be destroyed by heating the beans to
las degrees f., but this should have
been done as soon as the beans were
gathered, before the insects had q
chance to injure the beans.-National

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Cultivation in the orchard is given to
keep out the weeds and make a loose
mulch.
Walnuts, chestnuts, hickory nuts,
peach seeds and all this kind of seeds
should be planted before they get too
dry.
Apples to be profitable must not only
be suited to the locality, but must be
productive, of good size, attractive ap-
pearance and good keeper.
Grow some cultivated crops in the or
chard. Small grain crops of any kind
are Objectionable and should never be
allowed to grow close up around the
stem of the trees.
In storing sweet potatoes for long
keeping dry earth is the best packing
material. Keep them in warm, even
temperature. Pack none but sound
potatoes, or they will surely rot.
When trees are set out in the fall il
will be advisable to draw up a small
mound of earth around the stem. This
helps to hold the tree steady in storms,
throws off the surplus water and large
~ prevents injury by field mice.-St.

'1've painted the house and the barn and

That we have to drive over roads like that.

see
That l can build roads as well as he"
Now. Neighbor Smith, who lived below,
Saw Jones repairing his road, and SO
He fixed up his, to be ''in the game"
And Neighbor Robinson did the same:

SMALL FRUIT CULTURE.
famous Wisconsin Man Asks "Who Should
Grow Berries"

famous wisconsin Man Asks ..Who Should
Grow Berries
That is the question asked by NJ. A
Thayer, the famous berry raiser of
Sparta, Wis.,, and by him answered as
follows:
First of all, farmers everywhere, for
family use. Farmers must grow ber-
res or do without. No one can grow
them so cheaply as he. They may be
produced ready for picking, at two
cents per quart. The farmer saves cost
OF picking, packing, boxing, Grating,
freight, express and profits of growers.
He gets them at first cost, fresh from
the vines. and to the extent of his own
family has the best market in the
world-a home market. He can select
the best land and location on his own
farm, and is sure of profit with half a
crop.
Farmers can never have ideal homes
without the fruit garden. 1t teaches
the lessons of intensified farming. and
results in better tillage, larger crops.
better stock and improved methods i'll
every way. Good gardens and poor
farms never keep company long.
The growing of berries for family use
is easily done. The growing of ber-
res largely, and selling them in good
market, requires considerable skill and
IL special business tact. Only thos.
who have good location, good market
and a taste for the business should at
tempt it, Many small farmers so stu
-ated are making a success by COM
mencing moderately and increasing
acreage from season to season as ex-
perience warrants.
Berries should be grown by owners
OF all village homes, and acreage prop
crty in city and village may be prof
ita bly, used for that purpose.
The market gardener selling his OWE
products can often make an acre or two
of berries very profitable. They are
suitable companions for their vegetable
friends. and sell well together.
The business or professional man, al
most broken with care, may recover
health and strength in the pleasant
walk of horticulture. 1t is restful to
10th mind and body.
Many women dependent on their OWE
efforts are securing substantial aid
from their gardens; berries and flowers
thrive best under the gentle touch of
women.
Many bright boy may receive his
first incentive to business and earn his
first money by growing berries or veg
etables. Give them a patch of ground
and encourage them in this work.

ARMOR PLATE.

Once more the government has run
up against a stone wall in the matter
of armor plate. At one time the
trouble was blow holes, the plate fur
nished by the Carnegie company, it was
said. being as full of them as Swiss
cheese is os holes. That difficulty
seemed to have been got over when the
question of price came up. Uncle Sam,
dear, good, kind-hearted Uncle Sam,
who always acted on the theory that
Americans could do no wrong, they be-
ing kings, found out that he was pay
ing some $500 a ton for armor plate while
the car of Russia was buying it from
the only American firm that made it,
for some 5000 less per ton. That did not
seem right; that did not seem patriotic;
so Uncle Sam determined to fix a price
beyond which he would not bid for ar
NOR plate. And this price was put at
$500. Then he advertised for some thou
sands of tons of armor plate and only
one bid came within his limit. The con-
Germ that made the bid had its plant
thoroughly inspected by Uncle Sans
expert naval ordnance officer, and he
came to the conclusion that it could
not manufacture the armor plate, and
so reported; and the bid was rejected
This would naturally seem to have put
Uncle Sam in a dilemma, but it did
not. His secretary of the navy sub
mitted the papers in the case to con-
eress and recommends that authority
be given to readvertise for proposals,
and to make contracts for armor plate
at not exceeding $500 ton. Doubtless
the authority will be readily granted.
And then Carnegie will be almost GER
tain to get the contracts. How true it
is that all things come to those who
know how to wait. Carnegie evidently
knows how to wait.

PARTY GOVERNMENT.

Wayne MacVeagh, who is in London
on his way home from Italy, where he
was ambassador under Mr.. Cleveland,
thinks President Mckinley did exactly
right in calling an extra session of con-
gress. He says that while he does not
believe the protective system is any
longer needed in this country, yet he
recognizes that the recent election en-
titles the Republican party to pass a
bill satisfactory to the advocates of
high duties, and that, therefore, the
sooner If is passed the better
The president did do exactly right in
calling congress in extra session, and
every president elected should do the
same thing. Nor is it at all certain that
every time a new congress is elected it
should not be called in extra session.
There could scarcely be anything more
absurd than to elect a house of repre-
sentatives in November and not have
it meet to carry out the policy the peo-
pie declared for when it was elected
until the December following. If the
people are tired of one policy and have
repudiated policy be allowed to drag
its slow length along for 10 months?
There is neither rhyme nor reason in
it.
Mr.. MacVeagh says the Republican
party should be permitted to carry out
its high tariff policy. There is no
question that the American people are
gradually coming to accept the En-
glish idea of party government which
permits a party to carry out it's policy
and then holds it responsible for the
same. They are coming to the con-
clusion that a resort to purely OBJ
structive tactics whose sole object is
the defeat of the measure introduced
by the majority is justifable only in
rare cases. They are very far from
having reached that stage of the En-
glish idea that says the government
must go to the country whenever it
fails to command a substantial major
ity on an important question, while it
