haa any t~ine and ball vas produced.
The machine was started and worked all
right until the binder made the knot
and then the twine broke. Mr.. Stang
got of the machine, adjusted the knot
ter and started again. Same result. hs

Marketing Lima Beans.

August Is the month for heavy pro-
duction OF lima beans. They continue
to bear, however, till the first hard
killing frost. The amount and length
OF profitable bearing depend largely
upon keeping the vines picked clean
and not allowing pods to get dead ripe,
for the ripened seed of any kind takes
most vital substance out of the plant
and causes II to die. Besides. the
beans when not quite ripe bring the
pods is when they show faint traces
Of light green to yellow. After the
pod becomes yellow the beans inside
are ripe, turn white and are then con-
sidered dry" beans. White ones mix
ed with the green damage the selling
price from a few cents to half their
value per quart, says Farm, Field and
Fireside.
On the market lima beans are sold
by the quart; hence the best pack Is
the ordinary sixteen or twentyfour
quart berry crate. Real early beans
often sell better in pint boxes, as the
price Is so high that customers Of the
retail stores do not want as many as
a full quart. The peck market basket
is another package used, six to ten
quarts being put in each basket with
covering of green netting to enhance
the greenness of the beans

Second Crop Turnips.

The Swede turnlps are among the
best second crops. Planted after a
crop of peas, oats or grass, they have
just time to mature without becoming
rank and oyergrown. For the past few
years they have proved one of the best
selling products, yielding more net
profit than potatoes or other root crops
There Is no risk, since the surplus tur-
nips, If used with care, may be fed to
cattle, increasing the quantity without
injuring the salable quality OF the milk.
No time should be lost, but the first
crop promptly got out of the way and
the soil made as fine and clean as pos
sible, narrowing and cultivating until
the weeds are dead or dragged into
heaps. Add about half ton of phos-
phate to the acre. Plant with wheel
drill twenty inches apart and later thin
the plants to almost FIVE inches apart
Boys may be hired to weed and thin
turnips by the row, and without much
cost, IL the wheel hoe Is run very close
to the row. Gaps may be filled by
transplanting and tleas kept off by
busting the plants with air slaked lime

The Formation of Coal

Many different theories are held by
biologists to account for the formation
of beds of coal between strata of rock.
The simplest of them Is that vast
masses of wood. such as grew in the
carboniferous age of the earth's de-
yelopmeut, were sunk under the sea,
that deposits of silt upon them changed
to rock and that by some upheaval Of
the earth the bottom of the sea was
lifted above sea level. Such upheaval
occurred in remote geologic ages In the
Mississippi valley all the central parts
of which were undoubtedly at one
time covered with water and formed
an arm of the sea The one thing GER
tain about coal is that by one process
of nature or another 1t has been con-
verted from the giant trees which grew
In the carboniferous age of geology.
How many thousands or millions of
years that was nobody knows. All
that Is known about the duration of
different geologic ages of the world Is
that they were long

The Social Sea Gull.

Gulls love society. They always nest
in colonies and live together the entire
year They are most useful birds about
the water fronts of our cities. These
gulls have developed certain traits that
mark them as land birds rather than
birds OF the sea. In southern Califor-
MIA and Oregon l have watched flocks
of them leave the ocean and rivers at
daybreak every morning and sail In
land for miles, skirmlshing about the
country to pick up living in the fields,
following the pillow all day long, as
blackbirds do and fighting at the farm
er's heels for angleworms. | have
seen others rummage daily about pig
pens and gorge on the offal thrown out
from the slaughter houses. II any
bird is useful to man, the gull is Ger
tainly of great economic importance as
a scavenger.-American Magazine.

DRAMATIC Detail.

Sir Henry Irving WAS accustomed to
visit at the home of Miss Frswell, au-
thor of I'm the Sixties and Seventies, i"
in which volume appears the following
anecdote; MY mother often used to
point out little details that had been
overlooked remember one in The
Bells, which my mother told Mr.. Ir-
wing on the first night when he re-
turned to our house to supper. People
who have seen the play may remember
that the first scene is small inn and
that there Is supposed to have been a
deep fall Of snow The innkeeper Mat
thias Qrving). walked In on that first
night in ordinary black boots, with no
snow upon them. My mother spoke Of
1t, and afterward Matthias wore high
black boots and stood on the mat while
the snow was brushed off Remarks
were made in the papers as to Mr.. Ir-
Wings attention to the minutest details,
and this was cited as an instance"

SOIL RENOVATION.
How TO Accomplish 1t With Green
Crops and Hogs.


BY w. J. sPIILMAN.
A type of farming for the renovation
of wornout soils that gives fairly quick
results is to grow n succession of pas
lure crops for hogs keep the hogs on
these pastures and feed them a fourth
to a half ration of grain. In middle lat
ltudes the following system is adapted
to this type of farming: Grow corn
enough for the pigs on part of the farm,
sowing either cowpeas or crimson clio
yer or rye in the corn yearly to keep
up fertility. The two latter crops fur

in early spring. follow by rye sown
early in August. follow this by sor-

rotation by inserting artichokes or
sweet or Irish potatoes between the
August sown rye and the sorghum. II
these crops are all pastured down, the
hogs being fed a little grain mean
while, the soil will improve.
An Additional Field of Good Sod.
With such a system, at least on clay
soils. the hogs must not be allowed ON
the fields when the soil Is wet, as they
will puddle 1t to such an extent as to
do serious injury. To avoid this diff
Guilty there should be an additional field
of good sod for the hogs to run on in
wet weather. In sections where alfalfa
thrives hogs may be pastured on this
crop In summer lin winter also In the
far south and fed a little corn. In
winter such crops as rape and kale
may take the place of the alfalfa, and
the grain feed may thus be increased.
Such system takes nothing from the
land, but care must be used not to
puddle the soil by pasturing in wet
weather There should be a field of
good sod in reserve for such periods.
