Have Great Valls-Wm Figure More
as Meat Figures Less.

This country has raised ~5,O54S4i
bushels of beans in 1899 and devoted
463S67 acres to their cultivation
saws the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle. That is at the rate Of q lit
tie over II bushels to the acre, or a
little less than the average yield tor
wheat the country over. New York
state raises more beans than any state
excep Michigan. and California is
third in the list. Roughly speaking
New York's bean belt is the western
half of that state.
Here, as in Michigan, beans nave
partly taken the place OF wheat as a
staple crop. They have proved more
r-emunerative and they have had the
additional recommendation of improv
ing the fertility of the soil through
their ability to gather nitrogen from
the air. AS a paper prepared by L. Z
Corbett for the department OF agricul
ture remarks, it is the beams peculla
distinction to provide food for boil
man and beast, and at the same tint
to improve the soil. That makes !
invaluable in a scheme of crop rota
ton.
To the average American, bean
mean string or snap beans, plucke
when green from the small garden
or canned in their green state. Thu
produced they yield largely, as muc
as 200 bushels to the acre, the prlc
ranging from 81 to So a bushel, a
cording to the season and nearness
a market. Yet the bean means som
thing more. Certain varieties, like u
cowpea. are valuable for grain, Il
hay, as good as alfalfa, and for gree
manuring unsurpassed. The kidne
the marrow bean and the pea a
prime foods in their dry state.
, Like other of the ancient crops
t mankind, the bean requires more hal
p labor than the more recent food s.
pies. In the advance of farm scien'

uNLucKy TO MEET WOMAN.
Peculiar Superstition Believed in by
Irish Fisherman.

superstitions as to its being un-
lucky to meet a woman when setting
out to fish, or upon any journey by
sea. are not uncommon. From a
headland on the Donegal coast the
writer was one day a~nxiously watch
ing a small smack beating across the
bay against a heavy sea and stn
breeze. which had suddenly sprung
up. After a long hard fight for II
the little craft made the pier in safe
ty. and upon condolences being Of
fered the skipper on his recent hard
ships he said: Sure, what better
luck could | have? Didn't | meet a
red-headed woman in Sligo this morn
ing the moment l left my lodging
to walk down to the boat!' In this
case the color of the woman's hair
and the fact of her being the first
person met with after the man left
his house seemed to be the determin-
ing factors in the days luck. But in
other places the objection to such an
encounter embraces hair of all shades
and any hour of the day, it being
amply sufficient to bring the ill-luck
that any woman should pass you by
just as you are walking down to the
boat. Only a few weeks ago the
writer visited a small fishing village
on the Galway coast, and just before
getting on his car to return home
was chatting to the landlady of the
little inn. A strapping young fisher
man, who was walking down the roaC
toward the harbor suddenly stopped
climbed over the fence, and mad,
his way to his boat across the fields
The writer observed to his hostes
that the young fellow must have mis-
taken him for a process-server with
{ writ for him. She laughed rather dc
r~isively, and said: It's not you a
I all, sir, he's afraid of, but me! He

Could Not Be Overlooked.

In speaking of Southern Pres
idential possibilities, Claude A.
Swanson, present governor of
Virginia, should not be over
looked. He won distinction as a
member of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House Of Rep
resentatiyes in the 55thC Congress,
1897, when the Dingley Tariff
Bill was prepared. The other
Democrats on that Committee
at that line were j. w. Bailey OF

FIELD FOR ELECTRIC FURNACE
Can Be Used to Advantage Where
Water Power Is Cheap.

While the electric furnace cannot
compete with other processes in the
general production of iron and steel,
DR.. R. S. Hutton, the British metal
lurgist. finds that it may be used to
advantage where water power is cheap,
and that it has a fairly clear field in
the manufacture of iron alloys not
easily made in the blast furnace. Many
electrical plants have been established
in Savoy and Isere, in the south OF
France, the furnaces ranging from 200
to 1000 horsepower. At Grenoble five
furnaces of 1,200-horse-power and fouI
of 2,O00-horse-power are used to pro
duce ferrosilicon, ferrochromium, sill
socpiegels of varying composition and
manganese-silicon and the output is
between 1000 and 5000 tons a year
The Giraud works, soon to be en-
larged, now have an output of about
$1,70O, 900 per year from furnaces o.
49, OO-horse-power. The product il

parts in real professional manner.

Where people rise with dawning day;
Each member into line then tails
To spend the day where duty calls,
Sufficient food for all they find,
Though it be of the simplest kind
No fancy costumes do they wear,
Nor pattern after fashions there,
AS seldom speech disturbs the ear,
No idle gossip enters here,
They've left behind all strain and

And live by rules of simple life.
Now you, perhaps, may think 1 jest;
But should you wish to be their guest,
Where is this place of which 1 ken?

The reports of the justices of the
peace of Clifton and Morenci for the
quarter ending April 1st shows that
the offices have more than paid ex-
penses, as more money was turned
over to the board of supervisors
than the expenses of the Offices
amounted to. This is new thing for
the justices of the peace Office in any
portion of the county and reflects
much credit upon the men who are
conducting the Offices.
