The rule to plant beans with the
eye down may answer with very late
planting, but it is not to be recon.
mended while the soil is cool and
moist in the early spring. The bean
is very impatient of wet or cold, aud
is moro likely to rot with its eye
turned down than when tho eye is
turned toward light, air and warmth.
On the other hand, potatoes which
somebody has advised to be planted
with tho cut side down ought always
to be planted exactly the other way.
The potato likes cool and moist soil,
and its roots grow all the stronger
while the shoot starts from under the
cut piece, and then turns upward to
the light. Twenty years or more ago
we made a careful experiment IN
planting potatoes, having four rows,
two of which we're planted cut side mp
and the other two the reverse. The
rows were close toge her, and the po-
tatoes which had to start aud turn in
the soil before coming to the surface
had all the season stronger vines and
in the fall yielded more marketable
potatoes than did the others. The
vines also kept green longer, because
the roots starting under the potato
set got frmer hold on the soil than
when they started nearer the surface.

Pianos Catch Cold.

Half the pianos of this country
catch winter colds exactly as we do.
They get hoarse OF have q cough or a
stiff note or some similar complaint
which cannot be cured by home reme-
dies, but which requires tedious and
expensive doctoring. In or Ter to pre-
vent these avoidable ailments piano
should be kept in a moderately warm
room where the temperature is even,
say sixty or seventy degrees the year
round-not cold one day and hot the
next. The instrument should not,
however, DO too near the source OF
heat. It should be kept closed and
covered with felt cloth when not in
use, particularly in frosty weather.
Always place the piano against an in
side wall, and a little out from it.
