HARVESTING BEANS.
Michigan Grower Tells How He
Manages.

Beans grown commercially in this
section are ready for harvest about
he last OF August or the first of Sep
tember. | always believe In securing
my beans before the leaves drop. Just
as soon as the beans are fairly ripe I
begin to cut them without waiting un.
I'll they get hard. | use an ordinary
bean cutter, taking two rows at time.
| have men follow and place two rows
of cut beans or four original rows in
one. Two men and team follow and
place these on a wagon preparatory to
hauling to the barn. Two men and
one team can clean five acres a day.
AT first made platforms of rails in
my barn bays. | soon found that this
was unnecessary and gave II up. Now
| put down a layer CT straw, then put
on three feet of beans. then spread
over another layer of straw and then
follow with beans, and so on. | have
never had beans spoil in this manner,
and often fill my bay full to the top
Do not try to thresh your beans be-
fore three to six weeks after they are
put into the barn. Here Is where a
great many make a mistake Beans,
like most grains, are much finer If
they are permitted to thoroughly
sweat in the barn. When the thresh-
ing machine comes be sure that the
concaves are low enough to prevent
The cracking of the beans. Then have
your machine man stay right by the
machine. 1t is then easily possible to
have the beans threshed properly
without splitting, and there is no need
of having any trash as the beans come
from the machine.
always have my beans hand picked
near home. / find this very satisfac-
tory, as then | can use my Gull beans
II done under your eye the contractor
annot find any fault, and everybody
will be better satisfied than II he picks
the beans on estimates.

WEEDS IN THE PASTURE.
Now Them Before They Have Chance
to Go to Seed.

From this time on weeds will be In
evidence In the permanent pastures
as well as in the meadows. The
weeds OF the permanent pasture are
mainly ragweed, dog fennel, iron
weed. and the different varieties OF
docks. AS we have pointed out for
some years, the main reason for their
existence, especially in the permanent
pasture, lies not in the fact that the
weed seeds are abundant in all soil,
but that the stand of grass is not thick
enough to keep them down.
OF course 1t is folly to allow these
seeds TO increase by neglect to NOW
them, and, therefore, one of the first
afterharvest jobs is to take a mower
aid go over every pasture, whether
permanent or In rotation, and then go
over every stubble field that has been
seeded to clover and while clipping
back the clover and thus thickening II
up prevent the development OF weed
seed
The great point we wish to impress
upon our readers, however, is that the
reason why these weeds appear is be.
cause the stand of grass Is deficient.
We have seen permanent pastures
this year In which there is no sign OF
weeds. These pastures are superb.
Every available spot is filled with
grass roots. and there is feed enough
for two animals and only one to eat
It, This means a long. late fall pas
ture and fat stock
How prevent this weed growth?
You can not do much now, says Wal
laces Farmer. All you can do is
to keep these weeds moved down to
prevent further seeding. Then next
spring provide yourself with a good
disk drill and drill in clover and tim
othy just when the frost is going out
of the ground. This will thicken up
your stand of grass; thicken It up to
such an extent II the land is rich
enough, as to double the pasture and
do away with the unsightly weeds
without the trouble of keeping them
moved down.

HOW TO USE CONCRETE.
w. =. Fitzpatrick Gives Practies
Points for Amateur.

The form or mold has to be exact
and strong. If you wish to build a
wall, the boarding has to be true and
plumb, set close together and proper
ly braced. both sides If an indepen-
dent wall, one side If a retaining wall.
This planking or the forms retaining
the concrete in place should be kept
there until the concrete is absolutely
well set.
1t is better to err on the safe side
and keep the forms up for a couple
of weeks than 1t is to have the whole
thing crumble by removing them too
soon. Fatal concrete collapses are oc-
curing with all too great frequency,
and hurry to occupy those buildings
is generally to blame If they fall.
For ordinary walls, piers and such
work, dry measures of concrete should
be one of cement, three of coarse, clean
sand and six measures of clean gravel,
large or small as the nature of the
work demands, but never crumbled
into dust. Where greater strength is
required, increase the cement proper
tionally.
The mixture should be fairly wet
and thoroughly mixed, as wet as
bricklayers usually have their mortar
will accomplish the best results. This
mixture should be poured into the
mold or form and tamped with a
heavy weight and not more than six
or eight inches thick at time before
tamping.
1t is difficult to join 1t, so one unit
of the work had best be completed
at the one operation. II day has to
eiapse between times then leave the
edge of the finished work very rag
ged and broken so that the new may
impinge upon 1t in good shape.

Savory DrfppinEs=As substitute
for butter in seasoning vegetables
there is nothing better than sweet
savory drippings. Not all meats supply
fats that are savory in the sense In
which the word is employed here. The
following fats may be employed alone
or in combination for seasoning vese-
tables: The fat from fried sausages.
ham. bacon and pork. and from roast
pork, veal and chicken Fats trimmed
from poultry, veal. pork and ham may
be fried out carefully and saved for
use in cooking vegetables. Such fats
have a flavor which comes from sea-
soning, as in sausage from smoke, as
i'm ham and bacon. or from brown ma
teriai. as in roast meat The fat
SKINNED from the water IN which
pouitry has been boiled and the fats
SKINNED from the gravies of most
roast meats may be clarified and also
employed in the preparation of vege-
tables for the table Great care must
be taken that all these fats are clean
and sweet. and that the temperature
at which they are fried out shall not
be so high as to impair the
flavor. Burned or seorched fat is
not only unpleasant in flavor. but
is a frequent cause of indigestion.
