Marketing Linn 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 It to die. Besides, the
beans when not quite ripe bring the
highest prices. The time to pick 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 few cents to half their
value per quart, says Farm, Field and
Preside.
On the market lima beans are sold
by the quart; hence the best pack is
the ordinary sixteen or twenty -four
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 a
covering of green netting to enhance
the greenness Of the beans.

The brilliantly plumed birds Of the
tropical forests are exposed to many
dangers, and II they were not gifted
with peculiar yet useful instincts they
would fall ready victims to their enc
mics. Chattering monkeys and big
snakes steal and eat their eggs, while
their offspring are preyed upon by foes
on every side. But It takes a sly mon
key or snake to get ahead Of the tailor
bird, small East Indian singing bird.
She hides her nest so skillfully that her
enemies cannot find 1t, no matter how
hard they try. This she does by using
her long, slender bill as a needle. With
the tough fiber Of a parasitic plant
abundant in the tropics, as a thread
she sews dead leaf taken from the
end Of slender and hanging branch,
and between these leaves she builds
her nests. where neither monkey nor
snake can approach, because the
branch will not bear its weight.

Bordeaux Mixture.
Second Cron Turninn.

The Swede turnips are among the
best second crops. Planted after 9
crop Of peas. oats or grass, they have
just time to mature without becoming
rank and overgrown. 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
slble, narrowing and cultlvating until
the weeds are dead or dragged into
heaps. Add about hale a ton of phos-
plate 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
turnlps by the row, and without much
cost, II the wheel hoe is run very close
to the row. Gaps may be filed by
transplanting and fleas kept Off by
busting the pants with air slaked lime.

ADVERTISING.
One of the Many MarveIs of Tbf.
prORressfva Auo

One OF the Many MarveIs of This
Progressive Age.
Among the many marvels of this
marvellous age there is none more
striking and none more characteristic
than the art Of advertising as develop
ed In modern times. We talk much
about the wonders of the telephone
and the photograph, about the aston
ishing expansion Of railroads and telee-
raphy, but here we have an Industry
as remarkable for Its extension and az
wide and varied In It's applications as
anything Of mans device In any era Of
the worlds history. When there is
brought into consideration the vast
amount Of money expended in adyer-
Using in our day, the novel and in
genius methods employed and the ex
pert skill and artistic talent engaged In
the business, one may begin to realize
what wide field has been opened here
for some Of the highest and most USE
ful forms Of human endeavor.
With all It's abuses-and they are not
rew-it remains true that advertising
Is one OF the greatest Of popular edu-
Gators and one Of the chief promoters
OF human happiness and prosperity.
and there are yet many ways in which
1t may he extended to the still greater
benefit of. the world. No good reason
exists why the churches, the Sunday
schools, the missionary societies and
other agencies Of good should not adj
yertise far more than they do and thus
add to the membership and their power
In the community. To set their adj
vantages, aims and benefits before the
public In a proper way and form would
Involve no loss Of dignity or prestige,
while 1t would almost certainly widen
their influence.
The time must come, too, when the
absurd code which prohibits physicians
and other professional classes from adj
vertising themselves must be abolished. |
There Is nothing but a sentiment to |
prevent 1t and very weak sentiment |
at that. It should be no more mira |
dig for physician or lawyer to seek |
patients or clients through the medium
OK print than 1t is for teachers, insur-
ance men, real estate dealers or the
members Of any other honorable trade
Or calling.-Leslie's Weekly.

A Sort of No Mans Land.

SOIL RENOVATION.
How to Accomplish 1t With Green
Crops and Hogs.
BY w. J. sPILLMAN.,

Crops and Hogs.
BY w. J. sPILLMAN. ~
A type of farming, for the renovation
Of wornout soils that gives fairly quick
results is to grow succession of pas
ture crops for hogs, keep the hogs on
these pastures and feed them q fourth
to half ration Of grain. In middle lat,
itudes 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
nish winter pasture for the pigs. On
the remainder of the farm run the FOL.
lowing three year rotation: Sow oats
In early spring, follow by rye sown
early in August, follow this by cor.
ghum the following spring, In Septem.
Der or October SOW rye again after the
sorghum, late the next spring sow eli.
Their sorghum or cowpeas and begin
over again with oats the succeeding
spring This may be made four year
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 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
thrlves 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 a system takes nothing from the
Ian6:- but care must be used not to
puddle the son by Ppasssturing in wet
weather. There should be, field Of
good sod in reserve for such periods.

Chickens In the Rain.

On rainy morning a good deal Of
wisdom may be learned from the
chickens. If 1t is to be soggy, rainy,
drizzIy day all day, the chickens will
get out and stand about in the rain
with an utterly Indifferent manner
They look just as human beings feel
and they keep it up all day. But IL
the rain is to continue but few hours
the chickens will stay under shelter.
They cannot be kept out. They hurry
under cover when disturbed and stay
there till the fair weather comes, which
1t does presently. And then they go
out and enjoy the sunshine. The chick

THE LUNACY OF LOVE.
Bulwer Lytton's Letters to His own
"Adored Poodle"

Bulver Lytton's Letters to His own
"Adored Poodle"
To Miss Louise Dewey, the former
friend and the executrix of Lady Lyt-
ton, had been confided a packet of 298
letters, representing the correspond
ence Of Bulwer Lytton with Miss
Wheeler Ia the days of their early
courtship. Miss Dewey published these
with preface, stating that she took
this action in order to vindicate the
memory Of her dead friend. In what
manner the letters could be regarded
as vindication 1t is difficult to see,
though they serve as remarkable con-
tribution to the literature Of epistolary
lovemaking. The extravaganza absurdi-
ty Of some Of them is almost beyond
belief, and two passages may be quot
ed as Illustrative of many others. In
the letters Bulwer -Lytton addresses
Miss Wheeler as Poodle" and signs
himself Puppy" or "Puppo."

MILDEW AND BLIGHT.
Troubles Humid Weather Brings &
Melons and Cucumbers.

Troubles Humid Weather Brings to
Melons and Cucumbers.
Several diseases attack the leaves of
cucumbers and melons in this country.
Downy mildew, leaf blight and an
thracnose are the most common, though
there are several others Of less impor-
lance. The parasitic fungi which cause
these troubles are quite distinct in their
nature, but produce rather similar eff
fects on the foliage. From the stand
point Of the farmer they may be con-
sidered together, since the treatment
for all is practically the same.
Downy mlldew has appeared as early
as May In South Carolina; the usual
date for that latitude is June 1t does
not reach Ohio until Aug. 1, while New
York and New England are visited
later In August. The date of appear
ance and the severity of the outbreak
seem to be governed mainly by the
weather. During unusually dry seasons
the disease may be entirely absent,
while warmth and moisture, especially
warm, cloudy nights. soon lead to its
development and result in the greatest
loss. Any weakness OF the plant APP
pears also to predispose 1t to attacks
of downy mildew.
Leaf blight does not, as a rule, devel-
op as rapidly in the field as downy
mildew, but In warm, humid weather
it spreads quickly and does great harm.
The rlpening Of the melons is has
tened, their quality greatly injured and
the total crop diminished.
Bordeaux Mixture.
The accepted remedy for these trou-
bles Is spraying with bordeaux mix
ture. 1t should be made fresh before
using each time The proportions OF
the ingredients are varied according to
the crop sprayed For young cucum-
bers the formula advised is as follows
Copper sulphate, three pounds; fresh |
stone lime, six pounds; water, fifty gal |
Ions This is safe for tender vines In |
the greenhouse or outdoors and should |
be used at the start. The excess Of |
lime will tend to avoid accidental In
jury from errors due to inexperlence.
On well established vines. later In the
season the 4-4-50 formula may be used. |
