GOOD CROP TO RAISE.
and They Are Sure to Bring Good
Prices This Year.

Those who are in close touch with the
market are expecting white beans to
command high prices for a number of
years to come. Stocks OH hand are
very much depleted, owing to a great
falling off in production during recent
years and an increased demand. For
example, the Michigan crop for 1896
was 3,049, 135 bushels, that of 1897 was
1,765,175 bushels, that of 1898 954,O64
bushels and the 1899 crop was only 1884,
600 bushels. In California and New
York, two states in which large areas
of beans are grown, less than one-haf
of full crops were obtained last year,
while in Canada and Europe the cropis
light. With very light yields the world
over, the United States and English
governments have been buying very
heavily for the army and navy. 1t is
thus apparent that the supply must
be quite limited, and several good crops
must be secured before there is a
NAL surplus.
In view of these facts, it would seem
as though beans would be a good crop
to plant this coming season if good
seed can be secured and n has suit
able soil.-Rural World.

Ate the Card.

On q recent Sunday evening a party Of
poker experts were seated in a prom
inent uptown hotel lobby discussing
incidents relating to the science Of
Schenck, and some good stories were
the outcome. One of the veterans at
thumbing the p~asteboards related an
incident in his own career where he had
been dealt six cards. 1T was at a critic
al stage of the game" said the old sport,
'and when I looked at the cards they
were of the most needful variety"
"What did you do with the sixth card?"
queried an attentive listener. II Or
dered q ham sandwich" was the reply,
land concealing the card between the
bread and meat, ate the whole outfit"

No man is better known in the State of
Nebraska than MI. Carl T. Roberts, con-
tractor and mason. A typical American
active, shrewd and full of business sagacity.
He is not only a provider for his family, but
q protector. In a recent letter to DR.. Hart
man he writes, among other things, as fol-
lows:
"Our boy, James, had the membranous
Group, and repeated attacks of lung fever.
Our boy, Charlie, was also subject to re-
peated attacks of pneumonia and pleurisy.
Our third boy, John, was subject to fever
and ague 9malarial) and liver trouble. Your
and now 1 have three of the healthiest boys
in the State of Nebraska, which I attrib-
ute to your medicine. My wife had a stom-
ach trouble which Peruna also cured. Alto
gether for my whole family we have used
nineteen bottles of Peruna, and have thus
saved $500 in doctors bills. l am a contract.
or and mason by trade and am known all
over Nebraska. I have had a stomach
trouble which has been greatly relieved by
your remedy, Peruna, for which I am still
taking it. We think it is the greatest med

Nebraska.

ob.eIete Defense. of PckIne.

1t is perhaps not generally known
that the defense of Picking is still large
" intrusted to men armed only with
bows and arrows. A recent imperial
decree solemnly directs that those who
succeed in hitting the target with
their arrows on horseback five
times be given" such and such
rewards, while those who manage
to hit the mark four times on
foot and once on horseback and four
times on foot only shall be proportion.
ately recompensed. The decree con
cludes with a list of the presidents and
tallyists appointed for archery compe-
titions which are still to take place.

About two years ago a fairly well-known
young man of this town who, in the days of
his bachelorhood, vas addicted to the habit
of conversing through his h~ead-covering,
was delivering himself oracularly on the sub
ject of the duties of paternity. "a man
who'll wheel a baby carriage," he perforated,
loftily, sis a triple plated, quadruple-expan-
sion ass" One Sunday afternoon lately he
was observed-all of the customary ear
marks of sartorial economy distinguishing
his make-up-placidly trundling a perambu-
lator through Lafayette park. A huge, fat
baby goo-gooed in the pe~rambulator, and .
walked at his side. Silence is ready money,
md there's a lot of pathos in the spectacle
of a tanned man.-Washington Post.

Danger in Wire Fences.

In an article in the Journal of the
Royal Agricultural society on light
ming and its effect on trees, Mr.. Brodie
calls the attention of English farm
ers to a point of great practical i'm
portance. In Britain and America the
increasing adoption of wire fences has
given rise to considerable damage to
live stock from lightning. He quotes
on this matter the director of the
Iowa weather and crop service. "Un-
qu~estionably, wire fences, as now con-
structed. serve as death-traps to live
stock, causing a vast amount of loss
every year. And it is also quite evil
dent that a considerable percentage
of danger may be avoided by the use of
ground wires at frequent intervals in
the construction of wire fences"

QuaIitx Of Seed Corn.

The yield of + is dependent IN no
small degree on the quality of the seed,
which should be selected before the
corn is cut, having regard to the size
and character of the stalk as well as to
the ripeness and type of the ear. When
the season is especially favorable for
thoroughly maturing the ears, enough
seed to last at least two years should
be gathered, completely dried out be-
fore frost and stored in a warm, dry
place. A difference of two per cent. in
the yield of dry matter on two adjacent
acres was noted in favor of the crop
grown from well-ripened seed over the
yield from seed grown in a wet, cold
season.-Clinton D. Smith, in Farmers
Review.

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE

The pastor of the First Presbyte-
rian church at Pine Bluff, Ark, was
telling his congregation of his trav-
els in the Holy Land, and closed his
remarks with this incident, illustrat-
ing American enterprise: when at
Jacobs Well he drew therefrom with
his W hands a bucket of water;
after doing so and looking at the tin
bucket, he found It was a lard bucket
with the name of Swift and Com
pany' branded or same, which was
the same as he had seen in Pine Bluff
many times."-Kansas City Gazette.
