curing process in any case is carried
far enough to prevent the vines mold.
Ing after storing them in the barn
prior to threshing. If the vines are
thoroughly ripened in the field before
harvesting, they can be stored in
from two to three days If the weather
is satisfactory. If, however, the vines
have some green leaves upon them
and the pods are not thoroughly dry,
the period for curing in the field is
of necessity much longer than with
thoroughly ripened plants.
After the crop has been properly
cured in the field 1t is customary ia
store the beans in barn lofts or in
sheds until the weather has become
quite cool before the work of threshine
is done. In some instances, however
if the beans are thoroughly field cured
they may be threshed in the field; but
ordinarily. in those regions where
beans are extensively grown, weathe,
conditions will not permit of their be
ing cured and left in the field a stuff
cient period to enable the entire worl
. of harvesting and threshing to be car
ried on in the open.

80 as to prevent the loss of moisture.
The surface of the seed bed should
be made smooth and fine, so that the
drill or planter can be economically
used upon it. If dry weather follows
at this season of the year, good
practice is, Immediately preceding the
planting of the crop, to run heavy
land roller over the area. particularly
II the planting is done with an ordi.
nary grain drill. If the planting is
done with a planter similar to the
ordinary corn planter and the land has
been rolled previously, 1t is advisable
to go over it with a spike-tooth har.
row or some other type of smoothing
harrow after the crop has been plant
ed, In order that the land may not
possess compacted condition from
the substratum to the surface. The
surface mulch which is produced by
the use of the smoothing harrow after
rolling and planting leaves the soil in
the most desirable condition.
In planting the field crop the dis.
lance between the rows varies from
% to SO inches, according to the i'm.
plements used in harvesting the crop,
80 inches being a very satisfactory
and not an unusual distance for plac.
| ing the rows. The seeds are so scat.
tered as to fall from two TO four inches
apart in the row. The ideal distance
would be undoubtedly six inches, If it
were possible to obtain perfect stand
of plants at this distance. Expert.
ments conducted by the writer and by
other Investigators have clearly dem.
onstrated that beans planted singly in
the row at intervals Of from four to
six inches apart produce much more
abundant crop than the same guam.
tity of seed planted in hills from IS
inches to three feet apart.
Like all other hoe crops field beans
require frequent, shallow cultivation
The stirring of the soil for the pur
pose of holding the weeds in check
and preserving soil mulch over the
area occupied by the growing crop is
the important factor to be considered
in culture. Implements with narrow
blades which stir the soil to depth
of between two and three inches are
most desirable. Those designed 70,

ed with narrow blades such as accom-
pany all implements provided with
spring teeth attachments, will be
found satisfactory for the cultivation

For many years the handling of hoe
crops. such as field beans, upon al
extensive scale was impossible be
cause of the great amount of hand la
Dor necessary to gather the crop
Within recent years. however. labor

Tattooed Dogs.

For a long time dog owners have
been at a loss to know just how they
could place permanent Identification
marks upon their pets. Dog collars
are out of the question on account OF
the numerous petty thieves who make
a speciality Of stealing them from dogs
all over the city. An inventive China.
man of the Tenderloin, who heard of
the thieves operations, has hit upon
plan which makes collars useless.
His name is Len Hung, and he is al
expert in tattooing. Len reads the
lost and found columns in the news.
papers and gets in touch with dog
owners all over the city. He tattoos
the masters initials under the dogs

that the owner desires. The marks
are guaranteed to last as long as the
ear or until the animal is ready for

that now the once laborious practice
of hand-pulling individual plants can
be done away with by the use of a
bean harvester.
This implement is built on the prin.
ciple Of pair of shears and consists
of two long steel blades mounted
upon strong framework carried
upon wheels, as shown in one of our
Illustrations. The long shear-like
blades are set to cut the roots Of the
plants just. beneath the surface Of the
ground. Above these blades guard
rods or guide rods are so arranged as
to move from their original positions

cred. and, since the implement Is de.
signed to cut two rows of beans across
the field. the plants of two rows are
thrown together in single window.
This clears space for the passage Of
one of the animals in the team. Sc
that it is necessary for only one to
pass through the standing crop. thus
decreasing the amount of loss by
Smelling which would result froI:'
both animals being driven through the
standing crop.
After the plants are thrown to.
gether by the harvester. as shown IL:
our second Illustration. it is customary
TO: men with ordinary pitchforks
either two or three tined. to follow
the harvester and place the beans in
small heaps. as shown in our last H.
lustration, to cure for several days b.
fore storing them in barns or sheds
for threshing. In some instances
where the work is done upon a very
extensive scale and where the loss
from Smelling is not considered suffi.
cient to Justify the employment of
hand labor for punching the beans
with forks. an ordinary horserake is
employed for the purpose. .

HER SPRING

Jim Stanton and Clara Meredith
we're certainly distinguished looking
couple. as they walked up Fifth ave.
nue. one gentle day in spring. Their
appearance, demeanor and raiment
were correct in every particular, and
as the interest of each was entire
ly conferred in the other, they walk
ed slowly and chatted in desultory
fashion. Their betrothal was a few
months behind them. and their we'd
ding few months ahead of them, so
there was, of course, much to be
said.
Your gown just suits the day,
Clara" said Stanton, as he glanced ap.
provingly at the girls dainty garb of
soft gray.
"Yes," she returned. with touch
of complacency, 1T is success. I've
never had a spring suit l liked bet
ter. But I'm not sure this burnt or.
ange hat harmonizes with it. What
e do you think?"
Stanton looked critically at her hat
1t was an immense affair of NeapOli
tan straw and crushed velvet, with
two enormous plumes that wreathed
the hat, and then trailed down behind
in course that could have been di.
rected only by Partisan hand. The
color was what is known as burnt
orange, though the edges of the plumes
shaded to deep brown.
TITS stunning hiatt" declared the
young man, land the color goes per.
fectly with that gown. But isn't 1t
little more-er-evident-t the
bats you usually wear?"

Stray poa Has sparrow As.oci.t.

Stray Dog Has Sparrow Associate.
A curious sight in one Of the prin-
cipal streets is stray dog whose
constant associate is sparrow which
seems to have acquired the absurd
habit of perching on the dogs head.
The amusing feature of the thing is
the solemn quiet with which the dog
receives the attention of his feathered
friend, turning its head only when the
bird gets upon the end of his nose
q spot which is. apparently, rather
sensitive.
The meeting of the two generally
takes place at noon, when the dog has
finished foraging for his morning
meal-Duluth News-Tribune.
