AN ACRE OF BEANS.

They were planted and grown as
an experiment at first, but eliminated
In regular annual paying crop.
Some time after corn planting time,
rather than have an acre of good soil
come up to weeds, we decided to try
just beans. AS late the previous fall
the ground had been prepared, it only
required a trifling amount-of labor to
pillow it shallow. A common corn
planter having a drill attachment was
used the same as in ordinary corn
planting. The rows were twenty
inches or more apart and the cultivat-
ing was easily accomplished with a
small plow
This experiment was attended by g.
great deal Of curiosity, and for that
reason no extra work was put in dur
ing the season of growth. It was to
be a question of failure or success
without any extra care. The beans
had their own way, took their own
time, growing Justify regardless of all
speculations and watching. The har-
rowing disturbed them not, because
1t happened but once week. There
we're no insect pests to bother US and
the even masses Of foliage gave pleas
ure to the eye.
Saying the least of this bean expert
ment, its returns surprised the doubt
ing farmers and proved what could be
done with common white beans. We

Corn. cowpeas and fodder, with the
grazing provided. by good blue grass
and cereal crops. would enable one to
grow calves and yearlings rapidly
through the winter. putting on as
much as pound and half of gain
per day and bring them in excellent
condition to finish on grass the next
summer.
In. fact, one would not have great
difficulty in selling calves carried
through in this condition to grazers
at fair profit. Calves of this kind
would often bring cents, though re-
ceiving very little grain, by simply
utilizing roughness that should be pro-
duced through good rotation of
crops on any farm.
There are number of very large
cattle raisers in the Southern states
who employ men on salary to look
after their business and there are 9TH
ers who would like to obtain good
foremen to look after their farms on
the share basis.

HANDLING THE APPLE CROP.

The apple crop will be fairly good
this season and we should have every
thing in readiness to pick and market
the crop to best advantage.
During the past year we have been
collecting clean cracker barrels and
orange boxes, which we are putting In
shape during rainy days, to hold the
crop. We use boxes for fancy apples
and barrels for No. 1. Poorer grades
are sold to local buyers or made into
cider and apple butter.
homemade lever press is handy
tool for heading the barrels The
orange boxes are knocked apart and
Stats sawed to proper length and re-
nailed. Stats and ends being turned In
side out to present a clean exterior.
In picking, we use three-p point base
orchard step-ladders and pointed lad
ders OF length to suit tree. An ordi-
nary step-ladder or long ladder can
be easily converted into an orchard
ladder. which will stand more firmly
on the ground or rested against a
crotch.
| For a picking receptacle, we find the
half bushel baskets all right on step
ladders, but for high trees prefer a
sack, or both sack and basket, which
saves trips up and down the ladder
when fruit is thick. The basket is Less
liable to bruise the fruit, but the sack
is o. K. II the picker is careful
\ Apples are turned upon a sorting
table as fast as picked, and the good
fruit picked from this and placed III

SHALL We MOVE SOU7H2'
Chances for Stock Raising Compared
With North and West.

N n ANY farmers of the North and
M West are looking toward the
South as place for stock rails
ing, and the newspapers are often
asked for advice on this matter
While the climate of the South Is
desirable and there are many fine OPP
portunities for northern men of ex-
perience, the question of going into
business there should not be decided
in a hurry.
One who has good position and
lis able to earn fair salary for his
services without taking any risks
should consider making change very
seriously. A new venture, no matter
how inviting 1t may look from the
outside, is always attended with more
or less uncertainty. Misfortunes OF
one kind or another are likely to over
take man in. any business. and a
change of location often does not turn
! out as anticipated.
This is the dark side of the picture

FUN IN HUNTING WILD BEES.


Many persons at this season Of the
year find pleasure in roaming the for

them, light small fire and burn

drawing the bees in this way. Then
take comb of honey and let the bees
settle on it and place it inside OF the
box.
When your first bee gets filed, keep
your eye on her. After circling sew
eral times, each circle being larger,
she will start on a straight line from
you. Sometimes she will start for
home, when so far away that one
needs good eyes to see her. If the
bee tree is close by, there will soon be
others following the first bee.
When you see them leave the comb
and go without circling, then get di-
rect line, marked by something you
will remember. Get some more of tho
bees into the box and carry them to
some other location, where your OBJ
servation will not be broken by trees,
and let your bees go down on the
comb, watching them as before, till
you secure straight line from this
point. Now, all you have to do is to
follow up this line until you come to
where the other line crosses.

NO BEES, NO GOOD CL0vtR|
Relations Between Insects and Plants
Close and Vital.

GO close is the relation between bees
~ and clover plants that 1t is one Of
the principal reasons for the lack
pf clover seed in crops of the first CUT
hing is owing almost entirely to the
absence Of bees requisite for the
proper fertilization of the flowers. 1t
may be asked. why do not honey bees,
which at that season are actively at
work, secure fertilization?
The answer is found in the fact that
the proboscis of the honey bee is too
short to reach the cells in the blossom
In which the honey is found and bum
bic bees at that time are not so active
as at later period Of the year.
1t may be asked. why do not Italian
bees, which are larger than ordinary
honey bees, effect such fertilization?
The answer is found in the fact,
first, that Italian bees are compare
lively rare in this country compared
with the ordinary honey bees, and in
the further fact that at the season
when red clover plants are in blossom
white clover is also in blossom, and

frame about three feet wide and six
or eight long. raised on legs to a con-
venient height, and having a bottom
of canvas or burlap tackled about the

the proper sag. This leaves no chance
to bruise apples either on sides or bot

Apples are packed in boxes in layers,

ORCHARDS ON THIN GROUND.

Some people may believe that 1t Is
impossible to raise fruit trees on poor
land, even with care, but could you
see our little orchard of four years
you would be surprised at its growth.
Perhaps our experience will help
someone else who is compelled by cir
cumstances to do as we did.
We purchased eighty acres of land
which was all in timber except eight
or ten acres along the road and on
which the buildings were situated
This had been cleared for years and
was very poor. A few fruit trees had
been set out, but had had no care and
consequently had made no growth, SO
we grubbed them out
We purchased thirty-six Of the best
summer, fall and winter varieties of
apples, such as Early Harvest, Trans
parent Sweet Bough, Grimes Golden,
Maiden Blush, Northern Spy, York
Imperial, Jonathan and Black Ben
Davis.
We set them out in the fall, digging
the holes q little larger than was
really needful, mixing the soil thor
oughly with wood ashes. We pressed
the ground firmly around the trees
when setting them. The two follow
ing summers the ground was fortified
and plowed. Last summer we let the
ground lay, but used plenty of stable
manure and spaded for about three
feet around each tree. In the winter
we use the weeds that have beer
moved from the fields as mulch
placing them around each tree.
Il The treas ara now four wears ole
and we had the pleasure Of eating
some Of the fruit last summer. The
trees are not overgrown, but stocky
healthy ones without any signs o.
blight, which is common in this neigh
borhood.
We also have pluns, pears and cher
ries, which are doing we'll. 1t re
quired lots of time and labor, yet WI
are amply repaid for it.-Mrs. Mil

also other Towering plants from which
the Italian bees can obtain their sup
ply of honey more easily than from
red clover.
They naturally prefer to take 1t
from sources where it is most easily
obtained, and because of this do not
work upon red clover as they other
wise would.
Mammoth clover comes into bios
som at later period than red clover.
and because of this. Towering plants
which produce honey are then not so
numerously in evidence as during the
earlier period referred to.
Bundle bees are then also working
more actively and as a result mann
moth clover seldom fails to produce
seed. However, two influences, at
least, may be so active as to greatly
reduce the yield of seed obtained from
this variety Of clover. These are,
first. wet weather prevailing at the
poisoning season, and second. the
abundant presence Of alsike clover,
which blossoms about the same time
as the mammoth.
Wet weather is adverse to the work.
ing of bees, and when they can Sc
cure supplies from alsike clover rather
than mammoth clover, they take them
from the former.
Some farmers have doubted as to
whether insects are necessary in or
der to effect Fertilization in clover
plants. This question, however, has
been settled by careful demonstration.
Clover plants growing amid other
plants have been separated by cover
ing them with sieve through which
bees could not pass.
With this exception the treatment
Of the clover and its exposure to sun
light was exactly similar to the other
plants growing around it. The re-
suits showed that no seed was fur
nished by the plants thus covered
while those around them produced
abundantly.
In cloyer growing areas IT is GER
tainly worth while to give some at
teution- to the Introduction of bees
into this locality. 1t would not be
easy to say to what extent they should
be introduced nor is it-,definitelS
known how far they travel in order tc
get their food to secure the best re.
suits.
It is pretty certain, however. that {
few hives of bees in areas not man,
miles distant would have an appre
ciable effect on increasing the crop
of seed obtained from clover.

On the farm of the writer, special
ty is made of supplying spring roasters
to certain select retail trade. The,
reputation of the farm for choice.
Juicy carcasses. is so we'll established
that even at an advanced price the
orders cannot be regularly served, they
being compelled to go in rotation. The
roasters are Gagged and fed balanced
ration. are never hog fat, but always
in good condition. The result is that
the meat is sweet and tender. and as
only the purest of food Is given, the
flesh is never tainted with some pc
culiar taste, nor do they have the
strange odor so often noticed in poul-
try direct from the farmer.
But when 1t goes to raising young
stock. especially to grow them for
future breeders or roasters, free range
gives them quick maturity and they
are all the more hardy for the rough
and tumble life they are having.
In the case of broiler raising, how
ever. range must not be given, or the
carcass grows too lanky.
| A big advantage in runs is that you

houses and runs of the largest farm
we saw in New England did not oc-
cupy over five acres of land, although
the farm proper covered thirty acres.
The young growing stock were allowed
the remaining twenty-five acres to
roam over.
But yarded poultry must be well
taken care of. They must be regular
lily fed, must be made to exercise. the
houses must be kept clean and every
thing possible must be done for their
comfort.

ed, will soon be financial loss.

for cash always handles things to the
best advantage. Two thousand five
hundred dollars is a very limited cap
itai for live stock man to work on.
That is one of the great drawbacks
to this business, for it takes consid-
cradle money in order to finance a
stock farm and handle it in the most
advantageous manner. However. one
who will commence in small way
and. is willing and able to do most Of
his own work. could buy number of
calves or yearlings and handle them
very much as our friend suggests, with
a fair chance of success.
Steer calves or yearlings can be
carried through the winter very
cheaply in the South, as it is only nee
essary to feed for. from four to five
months, and If one has a good cereal
pasture of either rye, winter wheat
or barley. it is really not necessary
| to feed for more than two or three
months.
OF course, they cannot be carried
through the winter in the best condi-
ton under such circumstances, and ii

for what it is worth, to show how lit
tie food it is necessary to provide to
carry animals through the winter UNI
der the most favorable conditions.
Lands in many sections of the South
] can be bought at reasonable price
a few miles from the railroad, vel
adapted to the production of blue
grass and a great variety of farm
crops which are well suited to feeding
calves.
There is no reason why a small
