In the growing of bush beans a good
deal Of science can be used, but sci.
dom is. This kind of produce is SO
easily raised that the grower thinks
any method will do. II more care
were used larger and better crops
would be grown. As usual thing the
beans are thrown into the land in any
way. and they are covered without any
special regard to the best depth. More
care would indeed cost something In
the way of care, but would give good
returns. AS to depth Of covering. one
to one and three-fourths inches has
been found to be the best. In the row
the stalks should not stand nearer to-
gether than four inches and four and
one-half inches between them IL bet
ter. Mulching appears not to have
given good returns for the work done.
In years Of abundant rainfall 1t has
been found tss-be detrimental, but has
given some increase in very dry years.
AS a whole, 1t is perhaps Of doubtful
value for beans.
Trees that have been injured by
,oot-freezing can seldom be sufficiently
recovered to be very valuable in an
orchard. II such trees are to be kept
in the orchard at all. they should be
pruned back quite severely. This does
not mean that the large limbs are to
be cut of close up to the trunk. Any
considerable amount Of this kind OF
pruning is destructive to the vitality
Of the tree. But where the smaller
branches are pruned back well. a
growth of new wood Is encouraged, not
only on the smaller branches. but in
the large limbs. The hard freeze Of
several years ago gave opportun-
ity for experimentation in this matter.
The trees that we're butchered chad
their best limbs cut off) generally
died. The trees that were not pruned
at all broke down when the fruitins
time came, while the trees severely
but reasonably pruned made enough
new wood to be able to bear their
loads Of fruit.
Some time ago the Iowa State Horti-
cultural Society sent out circulars Of
inquiry as to the apples that can be
surely grown In all parts Of Iowa.
About Is answers we're received. From
these the secretary Of the society COM
piled list of apples that can be count
ed on to grow in that state. This list
is as follows: Gutenberg. Yellow
Transparent, Longield, Teltofsky. Red
Astrachan. Plumb Cider, Walbridge.
Wealthy. Wolf River and one crab
Whitney No. 20. OF these are sum-
mer apples. 3 fall apples and only one
the Walbridge-a bookkeeping win
ter apple. That illustrates the trouble
that apple growers have to get long
keeping apples.

center of the roads now existing shall
be the center of the new roads. This
means in brief that the owners alb
butting on highways will gain eight
feet In width for the length of from.
tage that they own on the present
highways. AS a general proposition
it may be said that roads now exist
every half mile in every direction in
this state; that is to say, there are
600 roads running north and south
and 400 roads running east and west.
This makes 10000 miles of roads and
the Larrabee bill gives to the farmers
strip of land 100000 miles long and
eight feet wide, or practically 500-
900 acres. which at $50 makes SIS,

Representative John Hughes, OF
Iowa county, states that he will not
introduce two-cent fare bill during
this session. He believes that all of
his efforts will be required to push
me anti-pass bill which he has already
introduced, and he does not believe
in attempting too much legislation
of the same nature during the same
session. He did not introduce the
anti-pass bill as early as he intended.
but considered the matter fully, and
decided finally that in order to meet
the wishes of his people ana to fol-
low out what he believes to be his
proper course he ought to introduce
the bill and devote all of his efforts
to secure its pessage. While he be-
lieves that the two-cent fare bill
would be an excellant companion bill
for the anti-pass bill. he does not feel
equal to the task of pushing both
bills. At the same time he hopes that
someone else will introduce the two
cent fare bill, and if it should be in
troduced he will support it to the
best of his ability. Mr.. Hughes de-
clares it to be his conviction that if
the railroads would quit distributing
passes they could easily afford to re-
duce the fare TO two cents per mile.

Fruit In Marshall County, Illinois.
From Farmers Review: There are
very few here who make anything
like a speciality of fruit growing. The
fruits which are a success at all are
those that nature protects or those
that are strong enough to breast the
sudden changes of climate and insect
pests. Perhaps the most successful Of
the small fruits is the strawberry. The
reason for this is that they are easily
covered with straw by the farmer. or.
II neglected by him are protected by
the rank growth of weeds that spring
up after the fruiting season. This
protects them from the sudden and
frequent early spring changes In tenn
perature.
Cherries are generally successful
crop, especially the Early Richmond.
The late cherries are very seldom Of
much account, because Of their insect
enemy, which the early cherry. to a
greater or less degree. escapes. The
Concord grapes are more or less of a
success. depending on the spring
changes. They are very seldom total
failure. Among the larger fruits the
apple is doubtless the most sure crop.
But with apples perhaps the Oldest and
most common varieties are the surest.
Among the late apples are the Ben Da-
Wis, Baldwin and Willowtwig. Among
the early varieties are Snow. Duchess
of Oldenburg and Hightop Sweets.
Although there are many others. both
early and late which very often bear.
they are more apt to be affected by
climatic changes.
Among the pears the Old Birkett
pear and the Kiefer are the most GER
tain. l have not mentioned the plum
nor the raspberry and blackberry. The
plum is too much affected by insects.
especially the late plums. The wild
goose plum gives very often q good
crop. The dry weather seriously In
lures the production of raspberriss
and blackberries when they escape the
spring freezing and thawing" period.

The Mission of the Experiment. station,
in 1894 the New York legislature.
feeling that the farmers of the state
had need of all the help they could
get, requested the Cornell Experiment
Station to undertake extension work
for the benefit of the farmers. Accord
ing to the law under which the Sta
ton operates, the College OF Agricui-
ture Is required to aid the farmers BY
means Of experiments with crops and
farm management. by lectures. publ
cations. schools. teaching and any
other means which promise useful re-
suits. When the Experiment Station
workers undertook to carry out this
request 1t was found that although
the stations and land grant colleges
had been established for many years.
they were not IN touch with the ma
jority of farmers. This seemed to be
due to the fact that much OF the
teaching and experimenting was too
advanced to be understood or appre-
ciated by the average farmer. 1t thus
became evident that more elementary
teaching was necessary. This fact
has been kept in mind. therefore. In
the preparation Of bulletins and an
effort has been made to present the
results Of special Investigations and
experiments in easy. readable. exposi-
tory bulletins. 1t has been discovered
that the usefulness of bulletin often
depends quite as much on its attract
iveness as upon its subject matter;
that dry" bulletin does little good
to most farmers even though Its teach
ings are of the utmost Importance;
that such bulletins should be well
printed, handsomely illustrated, and.
above all, well edited. And last, but
not least, that they should be timely.
as the effect OF many a good bulletin
is lost If its publication is delayed I'M
til the need for 1t has passed. 1t
should never be forgotten that the
experiment stations exist to help the
farmers. not the scientists.
