is best to run an outlet pipe of round
tile to take off any water which NAV
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 ont.
let one foot below the level of cellar
floor, and extend 1t a foot inside of
cellar wall all around the cellar and
up through the middle the whole
length, giving all a slight up grade
from the outlet. Fill above these tiles
to the surface with coarse gravel or
crushed stone. Then cement two
inches deep right on the clay bottom
of the cellar. and above each drain
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 a drainage
pipe. there are two ways to overcome
the difficulty. An outlet pipe may be
run in a 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

this into account it is doubtful If it
can be grown in any of the New Eng
land states to maturity. In England it
is sown as early as January, but in
Germany and Holland not before
March. 1t needs moist. warm eli
mate. and deep, COOL moist soil; there
fore clay and loan and the land along
river are fine. but dry. sandy and
shallow soils are absolutely not good.
1t needs the same cultivation as
corn, but all work in it has to stop
after the blossoming, for then the
growth of the leaves is so enormous
that they allow no passage. After the
grain harvest this bean will ripen. but
it Is, however, often not cut before Oc
tobtr. The time for cutting is there
as soon as the top leaves and the bot
tom pods are black.
The crop of beans varies enormous
ly, ranging from % to 60 bushels per
acre-that is. on poor soil. with poor
cultivation. 20 to % bushels: but /
know that in Kent, England. the crops
average 40 to SO bushels an acre, as
well as in the North German and Hol-
land clay lands where / often grew 55
bushels an acre at Ga pounds to the
bushel in the Beemster a pumped-out
lake.
The quantity of seed needed to drill
is one and one-quarter bushels per
acre. The crop leaves the field in
time to prepare 1t for winter grain. and
gives the latter an almost ideal seed
bed-clean, mellow, well manured,
moist and loose. All you need is a
disk harrow or an Acme. Altogether,
the horse bean is an easier and surer
crop than the pea to grow.
And now about its value as feed
for horses. cattle and sheep. In speak
ing on this point a writer in the Coun-
try Gentleman says: In the first
place, it should be remembered that
bumen (protein); the legumes-that
is. peas, beans. ETC.. are slowly digest

thick blood. and are constipating
Furthermore. l have always found
them to lessen the milk flow and

hard-working farm horses it is excel
lent. The latter can have beans for
one-third of the grain ration; thus
four pounds of beans (cracked) mixed
with ~ pounds of oats. But do not
feed them to carriage horses, neither
to bearing mares nor to young ami
mails. 1t is an excellent idea always
to feed wheat bran at the same time
AS a fattening feed for oxen and
pigs. beans are especially to be recon-
mended; they should be ground, and
to oxen six to eight pounds can be
given, mixed with other feed; to
sheep. only one-third to one-half pound
apiece. Toward the end of the fat

sary to leave the beans out and sub
stitute another feed, in order to i'm

CAN WORK WONDERS
MAGIC IN THE INFLUENCE OF A
GOOD WOMAN.
History Full Of Instances Of Men

The woman who talks most about
/ woman's influence generally doesn't
have any influence. The kind that
counts work silently. 1t Is not her

applause.
For this reason a woman Is little
shy of even considering such a subject
as her influence over men. So far
from boasting of it even in her
thoughts she will barely acknowledge
1t to herself.
That is all right. Just the way a
nice, modest woman should feel about
1t. Nevertheless, there can be no
harm in asserting the fact-just
among women, though-that woman
can influence man very potently. II
she goes about 1t in the right way.
For the right woman man Will do

A GOOD CELLAR.
Conditions Which Must Be Secured t.
Have It Frost and Heat Proof.

Those who contemplate building. oil
those who have poor cellars. will dc
well to consider carefully the essen
tials of good cellar. A good cellar
must be cool in summer. and proof
against freezing in winter. Therefore
depth is an important point-a deer
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 go degrees temperature during
midsummer heat.
A cellar under house is not only
a necessity in most cases, but is. IN
the colder portions of the country. a
great help in keeping the house warm
in cold weather. A house with a eel.
lar beneath will require less coal for
maintaining living temperature than a
house without one. Is a cellar with a
cement floor warmer in summer than
one with the natural earth? Some
say SO. AS far as cleanliness and rat
proof conditions are concerned, ce.
ment makes the ideal floor for eel.
lar. Since the warmth of a cellar in
winter and its GOODNESS in summer
are largely dependent upon the TEN.
perature of the soil beneath the cellar.
1t follows that the floor should consist
of material that is a good conductor.

sand or clay, and hence makes bet

should be dry, and dry sand or clay
is 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 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. | knew of a cell
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 filled 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 sills should be laid in NOR
tar to make the cellar as tight as pos
sibie.
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.

tent. In the heat of summer windows

the case that the cost of meals at the

However, as a grand rotation crop.
its value is not enough appreciated.

German Coffee.

German coffee owes its flavor to the
presence of chicory. Now and thcn
coffee is made with chicory and lit
tie of the coffee bean, but usually Ger
man coffee consists of two-thirds cof-
fee and one-third chicory, or even a
smaller amount of chicory, according
to taste. The German housewife
roasts her own coffee once a week.
1t is then sealed in glass jars ready
for use. The coffee is made in a
double drip machine and is never al
lowed to boil, but the boiling water is
poured on the coffee in the upper re-
ceptacle of the coffee pot. which is
placed on the warm corner of the

Too much water is as bad as not
