nEAns AS HUMAN FOOD.
Have Great Value--WiII Figure More
as Meat Figures Less.

This country has raised 5,O64,S44
bushels of beans in 1900 and devoted
463,S67 acres to their cultivation,
SAYS 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 for
wheat the country over New York
state raises more beans than any state
except 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 have
partly taken the place of wheat as a
staple crop. They have proved more
remuaerative 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.. G.
Corbett for the department of agrlcul-
ture remarks, it is the beams peculiar
distinction to provide food for both
man and beast and at the same time
to improve the soil. That makes 1t
invaluable in scheme of crop rota-
ton.
To the average American, beans
mean string or snap beans, plucked
when green from the small gardens
or canned in their green state. Thus
produced they yield largely, as much
as 200 bushels to the acre, the price
ranging from 81 to S. bushel, ac-
cordng to the season and nearness to
a market. Yet the bean means some
thing more. Certain varieties, like the
cowpea, are valuable for grain, for
hay, as good as alfalfa, and for green
manuring unsurpassed. The kidney,
the marrow bean and the pea are
prime foods in their dry state
Like other of the ancient crops of
mankind, the bean requires more hand
labor than the more recent food sta
pies. In the advance of farm science,
however, satisfactory harvesters and
thrashers have been devised. AS an
item of diet in this country beans will
figure more as meat figures less, and
the annual production is sure to be
much enlarged

There is no doubt Napoleon fell

phrase which is more or less applica-
BILE to the whole nation. When Napo-

of parting from him.

Seven Years After.

A married man sat in roof garden,
looking up at the starry sky dreamily.
"Why are you so sad?" I'm tell you, !"
he replied. This morning went into
my wife's room in her absence, and
on desk lay a packet Of my love let
ters-old letters that j had written to
her before we we're married-seven
