BEANS ATTACKED BY ANTHRACNOsE.
the bean plant and after thus feeding
upon the juices of the bean they aggre-
gate in places and come to the surface
producing the spots. The bean may be
attacked while it is quite small, and by
the time it is half grown the surface
may become broken by the disease. The
spots are usually circular and when they
become continent the places affected are
quite Irregular Not infrequently the
diseased tissue becomes sunken and dark,
bearing upon its surface minute pustules
Of pinkish color, and around the whole
spot they may also have u reddish dis
coloration giving the appearance Of a
birds eye. The appearance of the tissue
that is diseased by the fungus is seen
in the first figure. The fungus also at.
lacks the leaves.
In the second figure is shown u leaf
drawn from nature and having some
parts destroyed by the fungus, while in
other places the leaf was still green, but
the veins were brown. The fact that
the disease comes to the surface mostly
upon the underside of the leaf makes it
necessary i'll spraying to place the noz-
zle low and direct it upward, thus
reaching the surface where the spores
are being produced most abundantly.
One of the points that greatly inter-
est bean growers is the method this
fungus has of getting into the beans and
remaining there until they are planted,
when the disease grows with the seed.

1t follows from the above fact that it
is essential to plant only sound beans.

The Buffalo and the Buffalo Bird.

Some two miles to my right detected q
white streak. Turning to Mahoney,
said, Buffalo" Through my field glass
the white streak resolved itself into flock
of buffalo birds. They are about the size
of sea gulls and always travel with the
African buffalo, sometimes covering q
solid herd of 400 or 500 as ii with q white
cloak.
The buffalo has another friend in the
little alarm bird, which is we'll known to
hunters. 1t is about the size of sparrow
and warns him of approaching danger by
flying down on his back, pecking at his
tough hide and sending forth shrill note,
which Immediately stampedes q whole
herd. have often inquired of experienced
hunters whether the bird does not some
times make a mistake and put these huga
brutes to flight unnecessarily, but I was
told that the buffalo have implicit conf
dence in them. A rifle shot would not
scatter them more quickly. While had
been stalking buffalo few days before,
wei! hidden in the grass, the herd sudden
ly stampeded, This puzzled me greatly,
but the watchful eye of my guide detected
the cause. One of these birds had flown
down and given the alarm. Though dis
appointed in my stalk, had the satisfac-
tion OF acquiring some information that
proved of value to me later.-Arthur c.

YOUR LOCAL PAPER.
The People Have as Much to do With
Making it What it is or Ought
to be as the Editor.

All newspapers are directly or in
directly what the people make them.
OF course, money, business capac-
ity, and editorial and executive abil-
ity can build upa great metropolitan
newspaper within a few months: but
even in this instance it but supplies
Il demand. If the great mass of
readers refused to buy the New York
WOrM on account of its sensational
ism and general coarscncss, the WOrM
would change its policy or 90 down.
1t eaters not to the better class of
readers. Others buy it, while pro
testing against its nauseous Sunday
issues and its hideous cOlored sup
plcmcnt, and thereby make a very
bad newspaper a mechanical and
commercial success. The Youth y
Compo,lion, weekly intended pri-
marIv for children, but one of the
best all round papers that is publish
ed, chooses an entirely different
standard and appeals to the best Gle
ments of society, and is widely read
and appreciated. This is success
from another standard: but in this
instance the people have made the
Companion the success it is by their
liberal patronage.
The same law of demand and sup
ply hold good in the instance Of the
local weeklics. A community that
reads its home paper and contributes
to its support is after all the real
maker of the county paper.
1t has been said by careful OBJ
servers, time and again, that a com
munity can be Judged by its local
paper.
Your progress and prosperity is
read in its columns, in its very style
and makeup as well as by the adver-
Using business shown in its columns.
A good local paper is not simply a
business enterprise. but it is 4 factor
in the progress and general welfare
of all. Every man is interested in
its success. in the standard it aims
to establish. in its criticisms. in its
appeals. and in all that tends to make
progressive, prosperous, and law
abiding community.
The personality of the editor is OF
small Importance compared to the
morals of his paper. Its clcanness,
its Judgment, its integrity, its pro-
gressivcnesS may be accounted small
factors. but they are levers con
stantly at work. and its usefulness
grows in proportion to its standards
and your recognition and support.
Your local paper is in constant
evidence for or against your county
and state. Your community, your
schoolhouses. your churches, and
your business. 1t speaks for these
in proportion to the ability you give
it to speak. Every man should real
izc this and do his part in his commun
ity with respect to his home paper.

Half the cultivation of a corn crop
should be given before the seed is put
into the ground. The sod cannot be torn
to pieces too thoroughly. Where there
are 10 stones in the ground a disk har-
row does superior work to spring tooth
on an inverted sod. Thorough pulverr
ization makes plant food available and
fits the soil to hold moisture. We may
be in too great haste to plant. While
early planting is usually best, the first
thing is to tit the ground for planting.
When this work is done thoroughly,
after cultivation of sod land may be
chiefly to prevent crust from forming
Oh the surface and to prevent weeds
from starting. In tight clay soils some
deep cultivation may be a necessity early
in the season, but corn does best on land
that has been made loose by the use Of
heavy sods and stable manure. Where
the soil has the proper mechanical con:
dition, the roots of the plants should
not be broken by repeated deep tillags,
The soil is for the use Of the roots.
And, in conclusion, our business, &C.
cording to Farm aud Fireside, is to
make fine seeded, and then when
llants are up keep moisture in by sur.
face cultivation.

when it is entirely closed deafness is the

LEAF DESTROYED BY ANTHRACNOSE.

ease, but no one should be guilty Of u.s.
ing seed that upon the slightest inspec.
ton is seen to be diseased. All seeds not
bright and plump should be discarded
as dangerous. If the person most inter-
ested i'll this matter will examine the
brown, shriveled or imperfect beans, he
will find a cavity between the two seed
leaves where the fungus is to be seen
with hand lens, and, by the way, ev.
cry grower of crops ought to have q
magnifier, which he can use to help out
his eyes in this work of seed inspection
The last fact to be noted bearing di.
rectly upon the propagation of the bean
pod spot is that of it's growing upon
other plants than the bean. The bean
anthracnose thrives almost as we'll up
on the melon group Of plants, where it
makes ulcers upon the fruit similar to
those upon the bean, only upon a much
larger scale. Thus single point of in
lection may spread upon a watermelon
until it is inches in diameter, and of
course the fruit is ruined.
AS practical remedy for this trou-
BILE upon the crops named there is moth
ing known that is better than the bor-
deaux mixture.
