lManuring Bean Ground.

1t is a common mistake to suppose
that beans do best on poor land and
do not need any manure. Old farmers
often say, ''the land was too rich, T"
and therefore the beans ran all to
vines without producing much grain. +"
But this is the best indication that the
land was not rich enough. Beans re-.
quire phosphate of lime and potash.
Many black, mucky soils are supposed
from their color to be very rich. But
such soils often have great lack of
lime and potash. In fact, an excess
of loan means that at some time it has
been covered with water, and its min
eral fertility has mostly been washed
out. Or it may be that the soil is
even now wet, and the bean crop is
very impatient of too much moisture,
which causes many rusts both of the
leaves, pods and beans.

New House Things.

Japanese screens were never 80
popular. The black ones embroidered
in gold are most appropriate for the
dining room or library, while for the
parlor very handsome ones of white
satin embroidered in colored silk are
shown, the frame of G simple black
and gold brocade. Simpler ones with
frames made of thin band of plain
wood hinged ready for use come at
very reasonable prices. These can be
enameled or stained at home, and
then mounted with panels of Roman
satin, burlap, denim or embroidered
linen.

Weeds Indicating Soil.


may be told by experienced farmers if
they can see the kinds of weeds that
grow upon it. There are many weeds
that are never found on very poor soil.
and others that will perhaps grow but
will not amount to much unless tho
soil is very rich. The pigweed and
purslane, which is often called chick
weed, is very abundant in old gardens,
and always shows the presence of q
large amount of available nitrogen.
So rich are these weeds in heterogeneous
nutrition that they are aften pulled up
and fed to pigs, which will eat them
in preference to grass, as they are
more nutritious. The common rag
weed grows in all kinds of soils. But
if the land is poor, it will blossom
and seed at a few inches from the
gound, while in rich soil it grows q
foot and half to two feet high. The
mullen in pastures usually marks the
running out of grass, and probably
that the land is poor.
Controlling Rot of Plum and Cherry.
Professor N. S. Platt, of Connecti-
cut, writes: There is great complaint
each year about cherries and plums
rotting on the tree. There is no doubt
good cause for the complaint, as
sometimes nearly all the crop is
spoiled by it. Few people seem to
know how to save them. 1 have had
great loss with cherries rotting, yet
do not fear the rot nearly so much as
do the black aphis that have found
unmanageable and the cause of the
death of more cherry trees than all
other causes put together. My treat
ment for cherries is to spray with sui
phate of copper, one pound to twenty
five gallons of water, once just before
the buds open and once with bordeaux
when the cherries are one-third or
one-half grown, then pick the cherries
day or two before they are fully
ripe. If the weather is not persistent.
ly bad this will be successful, at least
it has been with me for several years.
AS to plums, have never sprayed
the Japanese varieties except in q
small way as test, but have de-
pended ON picking off the decayed
fruit by hand. Ihey might be sprayed
with bordeaux OF sulphate of copper
mixture while dormant, which would
kill spores of rot then existing ON the
bark, but have found the foliage of
the Japanese varieties uniformly too
sensitive to admit of spraying with
bordeaux while inleaf. The Euro
pean varieties, however, seem to like
the bordeaux. They should be
sprayed at least twice with it, the
first time when the new growth is
three to five inches long and the sec
ond when the fruit is half grown. APP
piled at this time it will not show
when fruit is ripe.
