BEAN CULTURE.
what a Successful New York Grower
Says About 1t.

| says ABOUT It,
The following facts CLEANED by Pro-
fessor C. P. Roberts from a successful
farmer of western New York, who raises
| from so to so acres of beans each year,
are presented in The Country Gentle
man:
The land devoted to beans is seeded
to wheat as soon as the beans are har-
vested. Marrowfat beans require at
least one bushel of seed per acre, pea
beans one-half to three-fourths bushel.
In western New York any land that
will raise good corn, whNAt or potatoes
will produce good crops of beans when
intelligently cultivated A good loan
with a subsoil of clay is regarded as the
best. 1t seems that marrowfats are
most largely grown on the heavy lands
and the pea beans on the lighter lands.
Light lands should be Supplied with an
abundance of vegetable matter Cold
lands usually are less deficient in humus,
and therefore SO much attention need
not be paid to the humus on the heavy
soils
On light lands weeder is used to ad-
vantage at first, and afterward two
horse sulky cultivator is sometimes
used. On the small farms one horse
cultivator is used instead. Some hand
dressing will be necessary If the beans
are kept as clean as they should be, as
they are usually raised in drills, and the
cultivator of necessity cannot destroy
the weeds which are intimately asso-
ciated with the beans.
The price ranges widely. During the
last three years they have rarely brought
81 per bushel. Perhaps So ceets might
be taken as the average price for that
time. The cultivation Of the bean has
extended quite largely into Michigan
and even California and this results in
full or over supply, and hence low
prices. Twenty bushels is considered
good average. A few get more, but
many less. About three-fourths of ton
Of bean straw is secured per acre, al
though this varies according to variety
and season. The bean straw Is highly
valued for both sheep and cattle by
those who are well qualified to judge Of
its merits 1t is rated among the bean
raisers as equal to clover hay.

national Kennel club the initial meet
ing for which was held recently in Lon.
don, England. Though the new organi-
zation was conceived and planned in
Great Britain, its great scope and prob

that the Ladies Kennel association

treatment For seed wheat.


Smut annually causes much loss in
wheat. This loss is now recognized as
preyentable by seed treatment, for
which the Ohio station presents the
following simple directions:
For Loose Smut of Wheat. Modified
hot water treatment is to soak the seed
grain for four hours in cold water, let
stand four hours more in the wet sacks,
then immense for five minutes in water
at temperature of 1873 degrees f.
Spread at once on smut free surface
80 dry and SOW. Use one-half more seed
TO replace that injured by the treat
ment.
For Sinking Smut of Wheat. I'm all
the methods employed for Sinking
smut 1t is probably advisable to i'm
merse grain first in cold water with
stirring and to skim off the smut balls
which will in this manner rise to the
top Of the water. After this is COM
pleted the following treatment may be
employed
immense this skinned seed contained
In gunny bag or suitable wire mesh
vessel for ten minutes in hot water at a
temperature of 1873 degrees F. then dry
on smut free surface, cooling quickly
by thoroughly stirring, or cold water
may be employed to Cool the grain. Re-
member these temperatures are to be
determined by thermometer. Longer
immersion than ten minutes at that
temperature may injure the grain.
1t is hardly possible to make land too
rich where the early crop Of potatoes Is
to be planted. The rich soil insures
early growth of the plants and that
they win come up with thick, vigorous
stalks, which is the unfailing sign Of a
good crop. Too much manure win cause
rot in potatoes late in the season, but
with early potatoes the crop is generally
harvested before 1t has time to either
mature or rot. Generally the early po-
tato crop may be got off in time TO plant
cabbage for late crop, and there win
be richer soil for the cabbage roots than
there was while the potatoes were grow
ing, says The American Cultivator.

GREEN CORN UNDER GLASS.
"A New idea In Gardening For Profit.
Green Corn Out of Season.

"A New idea In Gardening For Profit.
Green Corn Out of Season.
The forcing of sweet corn is practi-
cally unknown. That this crop can be
grown under glass, and, if properly
handled, be profitable, Professor F. w.
Rane Of New Hampshire undertakes to
demonstrate in a recent interesting
bulletin. He says: The idea that it was
possibly adapted for forcing occurred to
the writer when studying the root de-
velopment of corn under glass. During
the season of 1867 the only house
available for the experiment was a
large vegetable house, 25 by 100 feet
and as lettuce, cauliaower, ETC., which
demand a low temperature, are grown
In this house during the fore part Of
the season the sweet corn was not plant
ed until April, when these crops were
marketed. The nature of the green
house is very important, as it is neces-
Bary that the plants have sufficient room
for development. The house ordinarily
need for lettuce and cucumbers in New
England answers very WELL while those
allied with benches would not do. The
plants vary, according to the variety,
from four to eight feet in height.
The corn was planted April 10 and
matured July 6. While we have not
grown an extensive crop in midwinter,
orr results from the corn frT tied in ex-
perimental boxes lead us to believe that
with proper culture an eat ne house de-
voted to this crop would be highly sue
Cessful
Sweet corn does not appear in the
Boston market until about the middle
Of July. At that tine it brings good

The udder is composed of cavities, or
milk cisterns, and milk ducts, surround
ed by muscular connective and fatty
tissues At the end of these milk ducts
we find small cells, which have the
property of secreting and transforming
nutrients from the blood into milk.
These cells are most active at the time
Of milking, and in fact a large part of
the milk is elaborated at this time.
This necessitates good supply Of blood
to the udder during the process of milk
ing, for it is impossible for these cells
to manufacture milk without fresh sup
plies of nutrients from the blood. Any
excitement that tends to contract the
muscles of the udder or turn the blood
to other portions of the bodyswin cause
a decrease in the flow Of milk. Beating
the COW with milk stool or speaking
to her in harsh language may cause the
blood to flow, but not to the udder.
Even feeding the cow hile milking her
is bad practice, as it tends to divert
the blood from the udder to the digest
i've tract. Every act of the mixer and
every surrounding of the COW should be
such that the latter will give her whole
attention to the secretion of milk at
milking time-in other words, allow the
blood to flow to the udder. Professor
d. III Otis

''Milk comes to New York city in ten
gallon cans mostly, ? says f. H. Kracke,
deputy dairy commissioner of the state
of New York, "and just 1889, 100 OF
these big cans were shipped into New
York between Dec. 81. 1897, and Jan.
/, 1899. That is 1873, S21. 060 gallons, Oh
405. 2S4, 240 quarts. Divide by S13S and
you will have 8, $50, s27 barrels, with a
remainder of Oh gallons. The average
daily consumption of milk in New York
city, in quarts, is 1886; 943."

Agricultural Brevitieu.

The perfection attained by japanese
fruits and seeds is due to very thorough
cultivation and fertilizing. Their en-
tire system of agriculture is slow, la
borious and painstaking, but the re-
suits are marvellous in quality and
quantity of produce.
1t is claimed that If the crusade
against the gypsy moth were stopped
the insect would multiply beyond all
possibility of control. and Massachu-
setts could easily pass the pest along and
share her trouble with her neighbors
Now is good time to make plant
ings of horse radish
Boxes or barrels over the rhubarb
plants will hasten growth and blanch

A very handy thing to have around
the apiary when handling bees is a
piece of burlap large enough to cover
over the hive. This should be made
wet, and after wringing the water out
1t may be used to cover the hive when
the cover is off and will keep the bees
down on the side where you are not
working, says American Gardening.
Mixing Cream of Different Cows.
Where many COWS are kept and the
milk is set for cream to make butter,
loss often results from mixing cream
that will not churn In equally short
time. Of course when the first cream
breaks there Is no more churning,
except the slow moving Of the dash
board to gather the fakes of butter into
one mass. The cream from new mill
COW and farrow COW should never bs
churned together. The farrow COW may
give very rich milk, but very little Of
its butter fats will be separated, while
the butter from new milk COW will
all be separated from the cream IL
which il was covered.

UGLY BULLS.
Let Them Work the Tread Power
Every Day.

Let Them Work the Tread Power
Every Day.
Ex-Mayor w. L. Hunter Of Cumber-
land Wis, was recently nearly gored
to death by Jersey bull on his stock
farm near that city. Hardly week
passes, says Hoard Dairyman, that we
do not read of similar instances. The
other day neighbor who has fine
Jersey bull found that he had broken
out Of the stable and had literally torn
heavy gate and barn door in fin
ders. 1t was with difficulty that the
animal was finally got into the sta
BILE The owner had never even put a
ring in his nose. Some men exercise an
almost criminal ind ference and trust
in their bulls, only to wake up to the
fatal error when it is everlastingly too
late
1t Is no wonder that the bull gets
ugly. Any man of average spirit, shut
up as the bull is, in nine cases out of
ten would become frantic with rage.
The bull should have plenty Of exercise
both for the sake of his health and his
certainty as stock getter. No better
way on earth has ever been devised to
tame an ugly bull, keep him in good
health and teach him proper subsection
than to put him on tread power for
an hour every day. Any dairyman with
10 or 90 cows should be provided with
q good tread power and feed cutter.
They will pay big profit in the cut
ting of all the coarse fodder, and if the
owner has silo then they will come all
the more in play. But, whether there
is anything to cut or not, put the bull
on the power every day and give him
his exercise.
1t will make him good tempered, doc
lie and useful. All good bulls are apt
to have a strong, highly organized tenn
permanent If they become inclined to
be ugly, then we send them to the
stockyard. Half of the bulls in the
country are sold before the owner
knows what is the quality Of their
breeding power. This is wrong and OPP
posed to good dairy sense. With the
daily exercises on the tread power the
bull can be kept to 10 or more years Of
age if he proves to be valuable sire of
dairy cows.

prices and the entire product is from
the south. Without any sweet corn on
the market, therefore before July, we
have a rather long period even in spring
when this vegetable has no competition.
While it has no established market
price at present in our cities like other
forced greenhouse crops the returns
should be at least in proportion to its
cost and doubtless until commonly
grown would be much more profitable.
Sweet. corn when first in season is
doubtless as highly priced as any of the
green vegetables, and we believe that
Ibap offered out of season it will be in
great demand. ees.s'' -

The Adams Extra Early Is not true
sweet corn. but its merits are earliness
and productiveness. Crosby's Early, a
