Earth, Not Heaven, Is at Fault.


A lady reader tells of instances of
tomato vines making a tremendous
vine growth while yet giving scarcely
any ripe fruit and others of potato
plants making plenty of top growth,
yet producing but few and small pota-
toes. | have observed similar instances
now and then, although the rule Is that
it takes large amount of foliage to
support a heavy yield Of tomatoes or
potatoes. Good farmers and gardeners
do not any more put the blame on the
moon or the sign Of the zodiac. In fact,
there is very little mystery about these
things. The fault is In earthly rather
than In heavenly or lunar conditions.
An excess of heterogeneous elements or a
comparative lack of mineral elements
in the soil may give an excess of leaf
growth at the expense of fruit or tuber.
Some tomato varieties are naturally in
clined to make strong leaf growth.
These we must plant on soil that is not
excessively provided with heterogeneous
or organic matter and plant them far
Their apart besides.-T. Greiner In Farm

down on the knees, | hit on the above
idea. My hired man laughed at what
he termed "a lazy mans way" but
very quickly adopted the idea when he
found the invalid outstripping him
at the rate of two rows to one. No ia
tigue is felt in this method. The legs
for the stool should be made from the
same board as the seat so as to avoid
fitting. Three rows are weeded at once
this way.

LIMA BEAN GROWING.
Good Soil, Thorough Cultivation and
Some Hand Work Required.

Some Hand Work Required.
A young clover sod plowed in the
spring and thoroughly pulverized
would make a good seed bed for lima
beans The soil should be deeply
plowec and worked as fine as possible.
Manure is usually broadcasted and
worked thoroughly into the soil. AS a
rule the plant food is not placed in the
hill. The pole limas are usually plant
ed three and a half or four feet apart.
The poles are about ten feet long and
set firmly in the ground. After the
poles are set a small hill is made
around the base of each pole and
packed down reasonablya firm. Five or
six beans are then planted by pushing
them down into the ground, taking
pains to have the eye down. The best
farmers leave about three vines to the
pole. Cultivation is continued as long
as possible, but after the vines begin
to run rapidly it is not profitable to use
the horse, as careless man would
tear out or break down too many
vines. The cultivation is much the
same as for corn, and the hills are
kept rounded up. Cultivation is kept
up as long as possible, but the vines
make vigorous growth. and consider
able hand work is necessary. Great
labor is required in tying up the vines.
This must be done just at the right
time, and sometimes two or three diff
ferent tyings will be necessary. When
the vine reaches the top of the pole,
the best growers usually nip it off. An
average of one quart of shelled beans
to the pole would be very large crop.
In many cases the yield falls below
pint to the pole. The great profit is in
very early limas.-Rural New Yorker.

The Proud Coal Kings.
York Heraldl.

The defiant attitude of the anthracite
coal men before the interstate commerce
commission, their refusal to answer
pointed questions or to produce their
records, is making very unfavora ole
impression upon the public mind. Why
fear the light If there is nothing to con-
ceal? Their obstinate silence in itself
tells us truths. When counsel for the
Reading Company the other day com
pared the complaints of the people o.
New York about the high price of Goa
to the whining of II parcel Of whipped
ours he expressed candid truth rs t.
the estimation In which his clients hold
the public. President Baer's scornful
bearing and language recall his peremp
tory refusal to arbitrate with the miners
during the coal strike last year, when he
intimate that Almighty God had places
the anthracite coal fields 10 the keeping
of himself and associates. The attitude
of these men betravs an entire miscon-
C ptfoD OF their official relation to the
public. They seem impressed with tn
notion that the monopolzng of the coal
fields by their corporations, The alloi-
ment OF production and the regulation OF
prices is purely private business and
that for the people or their representa-
tives TO inquire into it is nothing less
than impertinence.
