HARVESTING BEANS.
Michigan Grower Tells How He
Manages.

Beans grown commercially in this
section are ready for harvest about
the last of August or the first of Sep
tember. l always believe in securing
Ely beans before the leaves drop. Just
as soon as the beans are fairly ripe l
begin to cut them without waiting un-
til 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 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. l soon found that this
was unnecessary and gave it up. Now
/ put down a layer Of straw, then put
on three feet of beans. l then spread
over another layer of straw, and then
follow with beans, and so on. l have
never had beans spoil in this manner,
and 1 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
great many make 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. l find this very satisfac-
tory, as then l can use my Gull beans.
If done under your eye the contractor
cannot find any fault, and everybody
will be better satisfied than if 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 we'll 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
after-harvest jobs is to take a mower
and 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 it
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
1t. This means long, late fall pas
ture and fat stock
How prevent this weed growth
You can not do much now, says Wal
lace's 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, if 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.

ing Flag Incident.

Col. N. Headington, Portland Ind,
writes to Capt. j. P. Dean with ref
erence to the last battle of the war,
ly known as Palmetto ranch. He
says that he had just returned from a
trip to the north end of Padre island,
with SO men and some Mexican scouts.
They had been after cattle, as they
needed beef. They found the cattle
after crossing the bay, six miles wide,
but could not get them across, and had
to return without them. Immediately
on his return, the expedition was start
ed out in another direction for the
same purpose. No fight was expected,
but they ran onto the forces of Gen.
Slaughter. Col. Headington and his
men being footsore, were left in
camp. When they heard the firing, he
got the men together and started out
to help, but when they reached the
mouth of the river they met our forces

When he reached Bagdad the Mex
leans took the flag from him. He
came back to camp and reported all
the facts. Col Readington was sent
to demand the flag, but the Mexicans
refused to deliver it without orders
from Gen. Mejia. Headington re-
turned to Matamoras and reported his
failure. He was Immediately ordered
to return to Bagdad, to demand the
flag, with the threat that if it was not
delivered on the island within an hour
they would fire on the town. The flag
came over in time.

HOW TO USE CONCRETE.
w. r. Fitzpatrick Gives Practical
Points for Amateur.

The form or mold has to be exact
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 retaining wall.
This planking or the forms retaining
the concrete in place should be kept
there until the concrete is absolutely
we'll set
1t is better to err on the safe side
and keep the forms up for couple
of weeks than it 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,
broken stone or broken brick, broken
large or small as the nature of the
work demands, but never crumbled
nto 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 a time before
tamping.
1t is difficult to join it, so one unit
of the work had best be completed
at the one operation. If a day has to
elapse between times then leave the
edge of the finished work very rag
ged and broken so that the new may
impinge upon it in good shape.

New Bust of Lincoln.

their expression; but his gentleness,
his tenderness, his bigness and
warmth of heart-in short, his spirit

marks more upon the left half of his
countenance. Less critical observers
will see in the face a new grandeur
and feeling of power, such as Lincoln
must have had, and which has escaped
all previous artists in their attempts
to give us the true Lincoln. There Is
in the face, as the Craftsman from
which we have borrowed this illus

One big pink man with a snowy
beard defied rheumatism and wet
cloth by Pumping himself down on
one of the drippy seats. His presum

that she was tired, seated herself in
his lap. And when the conductor
came along to collect fares she in
quired, with the earnestness of one
who seeks knowledge:

served seat?"
The conductor spoke no words that
could go resounding down the corri
dors of time. He just grinned, and
the passengers grinned with him.

be introduced in congress. Maj.
Lydecker said that there was a diff
ficulty in the way of making militia
men assume equal rank in the reg
ular army He said he believed
that the regular army officers would
not think them qualified and, at the
same time. he did not believe that
the militiamen would want to take
equal rank. Mai. Lydecker said that at
a recent National Guard convention,
in Boston, he saw men with briga-
der generals insignia among the
militiamen, who were not any older
than some of the captains who were
at the meeting today.

together at some large camping
point, he said, every two years, if
the present plans go through.
Gen. oliver urged the necessity
for regular army officers to help
educate the militamen, so that the
country would have a greater and
more efficient army to fall back up
on.
Col. Daniel Appleton, Seventh Reg
iment, N. G.. n. Y. said that he be-
lieved that the army would be better
off If the militia were not required
to enlist for so long a period as two
years in case of war. He was in
favor of n nine months term of en-
listment. Maj. Charles f. Lydecker
of the same regiment, said that he
believed it would be hard to get bus
mess men to give up their work for
so long a period to go to war, no
matter what their patriotism. be-
cause they would find their business
ruined when they returned from
war.
He said that he believed that the
short term Of enlistment for the
guardsmen would be found the bet
