A MANTLE OF CHARITY.

We take the following from an ex-
change and commend it to The many
newspaper critics with which every
community IS more or less afflicted
what howl would go up if news
papers we're to criticise the individuals
as many people criticise the newspap-
ers. Every issue of a live reputable
newspaper is mantle of charity, and
the matter left out would often more
than equal in volume the matter pub
lished. If the editor could set out
cold fact edition CT his paper some day,
and then get up tall tree and watch
the results, what picnic he would
have. Yet people never take these
things into consideration when some
thing chances to set into the news
papers that pinches little bit. They
don't stop to think that the editor is
not different from other peop.e and is
liable to err. ms cad of condemuing
the newspaper for whit it does pub
lish, they ought to r'turn thanks fol
what it does not publish"

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 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.
tacks the leaves.
In the second figure is shown 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 in spraying to place the noz-
gle 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 :
ling and may cause its early destruction.
1t follows from the above fact that it
is essential to plant only sound beans.
These are not always determined with

Measurement For Grain Bins,

A cubical box 1917 inches each way
will hold bushel. Hence to ascertain
the contents of a bin take a stick or
rule 1919 inches long and divide it
by marks into tenths and hundredths.
Measure the length, breadth and
depth with this rule. Multiply the
three dimensions together and the prod
uct will be the bushels. This is the
most convenient and easiest method
known. Use the rule as though it were
feet and tenths. Suppose, for example,
a bin (using this measure as a FOOT
measures S.5 feet in length by 81 feet
in width and 40 feet in depth. The
product of these is 237 4O5, or about
237.4 bushels A correspondent of Ohio
Farmer recommends that every farmer
make such ii rule and use it where the
contents of bins or boxes are required.

American Cultivator thinks there is
little danger Of applying mineral fer
tilizers, either potash or phosphate, too
heavily to fruit trees in the spring. In
both seeds and foliage, potash especially
is required in far greater amounts than
II is for ordinary farm crops.

Half the cultivation of a corn crop
should be given before the seed is put
into the groundA The sod cannot, be torn
to pieces foo thoroughly. Where there
are no stones in the ground disk har-
row does superior work to spring tooth
ON an inverted sod. Thorough pulver-
iEafion 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

ease, but no one should be guilty of us
ing seed that upon the slightest inspec-
tion is seen to be diseased. All seeds not
bright and plump should be discarded
as dangerous. If the person most inter
ested in this matter will examine the
brown, shriveled or imperfect beans, he
will find 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 a
magnifier, which he can use to help out
his eyes in this work of seed inspection.
The last fact to be noted bearing d.
rectly upon the propagation of the bean
pod spot is that of its growing upon
other plants than the bean. The bean
anthraenose thriyes 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.

BILE upon the crops named there is moth
ing known that is better than the Dor
deaux mixture.

About subsoiling.

AS subsoiling is simply loosening the
lower soil under the furrow it is done
by plow of special kind following
directly after the ordinary pillow. The
SO called "bull tongue" pillow is as good
an implement for the purpose as any
other and costs only trifle. Indeed, it
may be made by any blacksmith if it is
not easily procured at the implement
dealers. That any one may have one
made The Country Gentleman, the
source of these items On subsoiling,
gives the accompanying drawing. The
plow is drawn by one horse following

in the furrow 1t breaks the soil five or
six inches deep, which is quite suffi-
Gent for the first blowing.
This authority says it is to be espe-
cially noted as caution that subsoiling
is not the turning of the lower soil over
on to the surface. This would be dis
astrous operation. 1t is simply the
breaking up of the undersoil beneath
the old furrow bottom, SO as to expose
it to the action of the air, and at times
to assisttin the drainage Of the land of
surplus water, at the same time making
it more retentive of actual moisture, by
increasing its porosity and absorbing
surfaces by breaking it into fragments.

Facts Concerning the Course 1t Takes and
a Practical Remedy.
That familiar and ancient foe of the
gardener popularity known as "bean
rust represents one of the most de-
struotive of the bean fungi, for which,
however, spraying is claimed to be an
effectual remedy. B. D. Halsted of the
New Jersey station presents some i'm
portant facts in American Gardening
about this fungus and its prevention, as
follows:
The fungus infests all parts Of the
plant, but on account of its greater con-
spieuousness upon the pods it is very
commonly called the "pod spot.
The fungus consists of many fine
threads which run through the tissue of
