THE HORSE BEAN.
Favorite English Rotation Crop That
Is Worth Trying Here.

The horse bean Is. not a market
crop; it is therefore not money, nor
even a direct paying crop, at present
in Scotland, England (Kent), Holland
or Germany, simply because there IS
no demand for it.
However, as a grand rotation crop,
its value is not enough appreciated,
because it stands a very heavy appil'
cation of fresh dung without laying
down. 1t is a first-class crop to pre-
cede sunamer or winter grain (wheat
or barley, and is especially valuable
In making new pastures or hay lands.
Further, it leaves the soil in an almost
ideal physical condition-moist, free OF
weeds, mellow. loose-and. it's prod
ucts are valuable as a feed.
The horse bean is a slow grower,
and needs 81 to % weeks (genera1ly
rs weeks) to mature; it has a stout
root system. 1t therefore requires q
long season and deep soil. It must
clear the field before September Z
October 1 at the latest), and taking

A GOOD CELLAR,
Conditions Which Must Be Secured to
Have 1t Frost and Heat Proof.

Those whoecontemplate building, or
those who have poor cellars, will do
we'll to consider carefully the essen
tials of a good cellar. A good cellar
must be cool in summer, and proof
against freezing In winter. Therefore,
depth is an important point-a deep
cellar meeting both these require
ments. AS we go deeper beneath the
surface there is a tendency towards
equalization of temperature. In the
northern portions of the United States
frost seldom penetrates more than
four or five feet; while in summer the
subsoil at three feet deep remains at
about so degrees temperature during
midsummer heat
A cellar under a house is not only
| necessity in most cases, but ls, in
the colder portions of the country,
great help in keeping the house warm
in cold weather. A house with Gel
lar beneath will require less coal for
maintaining living temperature than
| house without one. Is a cellar with
cement floor warmer in summer than
| one with the natural earth? Some
say so. AS far as cleanliness and rat
proof conditions are concerned, &C.
| ment makes the ideal floor for cell
lar. Since the warmth of cellar In
winter and it's GOODNESS in summer
are largely dependent upon the TEN.
| perature of the soil beneath the cellar,
| it follows that the floor should consist
| of material that is a good conductor.
Rock, and with this we may class
| cement, is better conductor than
sand or clay, and hence makes bet
| ter floor. The bottom of cellar
| should be dry, and dry sand or clay
is a poor conductor, and should be
covered with cement; thus the soil
beneath will remain moist, while the
cement surface will be dry, thus full
filling both temperature and sanitary
requirements. Owing to unevenness
of the ground surface, it sometimes
happens that a considerable portion
of the cellar wall must be exposed on
the outside. Here the wall should
be built double, or be protected by an
earth embankment. I knew of a eel.
lar of this kind which would freeze
every winter. A retaining wall Of
rough stone was laid up four or five
feet from the cellar wall and the in.
tervening space filed with earth. So
much of help did this prove to be
that the same cellar did not freeze in
the coolest winter known for years.
The house stills should be laid in NOR.
tar to make the cellar as tight as pos
sible.
Small windows answer for ventilat
ing purpose for the greater portion of
the year. In the coolest weather very
little if any ventilation is needed, the
temperature being so low that no fer
mentation is taking place to any ex-
tent. In the heat of summer windows
should be opened only at night At
that season ventilating flue is use.

full passing from the cellar to the root
Of the house. The inlet for the air
may be through the drainage pipe, if
there is one, the air, in passing
through it, becoming cooled so that
it does not warm the cellar.
Some cellars cannot be drained, and
some do not need any artificial drain
age. Where it Is at all possible, how
ever, saws the Rural New Yorker, it
is best to run an outlet pipe of round
tile to take off any water which may
collect from any cause. AS mentioned
above, such drain is also useful as
ventilator. Where ground is springy
and there is trouble from wet cellar
a thorough remedy may be had by
proceeding as follows: Have the out.
let one foot below the level of cellar
floor, and extend it a foot inside of
cellar wall all around the cellar and
up through the middle the whole
length, giving all slight up grade
from the outlet. Fill above these tiles
to the surface with coarse gravel or
crushed stone. Then cement two.
AAAIASo oOCP AA6AL I'll LuS clay
of the cellar, and above each drain
make a semi-cylindrical groove about
two inches deep with holes through
to the gravel at intervals in case wa.
ter oozes through the cellar wall.
When the location is wet and fall
cannot be obtained for drainage
pipe, there are two ways to overcome
the difficulty. An outlet pipe NAV be
run in cistern or well, the water in
which Is kept down by pumping, Or
the cellar may be made a water-tight
box to keep the water out. The floor
will have to be made of heavy con.
crete at least one foot thick to resist
the upward pressure of the water in
wet times when the ground is full
OF course the side walls have to be-
made perfectly water-tight, cemented
inside and out in much the same way
that a cistern is to keep the water in.

CHAPTER VII.
A few days later, attended by small
military escort, the party left the
fort.
Winslow explained to the command
er that there was double reason fol
haste-in their unwillingness to further
trespass on his hospitality, no less
than in the Impotence of the ladies to
join their relatives. Reasons which,
though with all hospitable intent, the
colonel supplemented by the practical
suggestion that they take advantage OF
the present frosty condition Of the
trail. A little later, when the spring
thaw had set in, the swamp lands
would be we'll nigh impossible.
There being no available guides at
the fort, it was decided that the SOL
':iers accompany them to the nearest
Indian village, half days march
away, where they could obtain ponies
and guide for the journey north.
The little party arrived at nightfall
within the Indian settlement, and the
soldiers returned to the fort, having
made arrangements with the chief of
fno village for their safe conduct.
Left to themselves in the gloomy
wigwam, the travellers had much ado
TO be cheerful. The place was ill
rmelling and close, and the Pickering
lirelight but served to bring into bold
er relief the grotesque shadows that
f1outed them from every corner
The loose-ftting skins of which the
walls were made, creaked and tapped
dismally. Inc brush of a fox and the
head Of deer hung over the door
way; stray feathers blew over the
floor as the wind stole in. Mrs.
Creighton gave a shiver of disgust.
"How grewsome this place is.
Trophies Of dead things everywhere!
l feel as though we were entertaining
ghosts"
Lavender laughed low uneasily.
Hush, and she lifted warning
finger. "Somebody is outside"
Winslow lifted the heavy flap that
curtained the threshold. A rush of
air made the torch burn low. and in

Winslow dropped the curtain, and
stood outside in the darkness, keeping

maid?"
For answer, the other said, with ir-

Next day they left the village. led
only by their self-appointed guide. The
ponies and other equipment had been
bought Of the Indians. Part of their
route was to be that known as the
Clara trail. The town of New Madrid
was their first destination - there
they would await the earliest boat
north.
On STOUT Indian ponies they rode:
sometimes over damp and slippery paths,
but oftener where the hoofs beat

Occasionally they crossed wandering
bands OF Indians, meeting with solid in.

whose hungry bowling was a mock
