Helpful Hints From Pictorial Review.

An excellent way to prevent clothes
from freezing to the clothes line IS to
dip a cloth in strong salt water and
wipe the line with it.
Brush fringe on towels and table
cloths with a whisk broom before iron
ing them and it will be light and fluffy.
Before washing lace collars haste them
closely on a piece of white cloth. They
will not be stretched nor torn. If no
starch is put in them they will look
like new.
The next time your fire has almost
gone out, try throwing a little granulat-
ed sugar on it, which will have the same
effect as kerosene, but is not at all
dangerous.
If you wish to iron an article i'm
mediately after sprinkling it, try damp
ening it with boiling hot water. Roll
it tightly for moment or two, shake
it out and iron with hot iron.
When washing one-piece dresses it is
hard to hang them on the clothesline so
that they will keep their shape / found
that by slipping my dresses over an
ordinary coat hanger they dried beauti-
fully and hung as evenly as when they
were new.
When feather pillows become lifeless
and the ticking soiled from long usuage,
Turn them each day so that both sides
will be exposed to the sun. In several
days the feathers viii be as fresh as
if renovated, and the ticking will be
bleached and freshened

Separate waists san Popular.

In spite of the well-deserved popu-

Just as much necessity for the separate
waist as there ever was, especially at
this time of the year, when coat and

costumes the question of waists is all
important and never more than at the
pre- sent moment, when the white shirt
waist is no longer fashionable with a
dark skirt.
To be really smart now, the waist
worn with the tailor costume must eth
err be of the same material or of the
same color. For warmer weather the
heavy fabrics are not desirable for

Forests and Earthquakes.

tcles dealing with English national

publishes an article dealing. as the
author claims, with a suggestion by
the geologist Venturino Sabatini, ac-
cording to which a remedy for the
disastrous effects of earthquakes in
Messina and southern Italy should be
sought In an effleciant scheme of af-
forestation. 1t is pointed out that the
cutting down of trees in such districts
may frequently result In loosening
of the subsoil, which is largely argyll
laceous or sandy In character, thus
giving rise to faults and lessening the
resistance to the effects of seismic
disturbances. The cutting down of
woods receives further mention In an
article by the Deputy Giovanni Posadi
dealing with the preservation of ma
tural beauties, while an article by
Signor Arnoldo Faustini dealing
with changes that have occurred on
the earth's surface In recent times,
with special reference to the subsi-
dence of the island of Bogoslaw, in
Alaska, possesses collateral interest

Bronze Followed Iron.

Pliny records that the best steel
used at Rome in his day came from
China, country whose historians
claim that bronze or copper swords

under Kung-Kia, B. G.. 1Se7-4S. Ac.
cording to the Arundelian marbles,
iron was first known TO the Greeks,
B. c. 1892, nearly two centuries and
a half before the Trojan war, which
is supposed to have begun B. c. 1884

What Fertilizers to Use.

The kind and amount of fertilizers
which can be most economically used
on certain crop or on a certain soil.
can be determined only by an actual
test. No chemical analysis of either
the soil or the plant will show this
accurately. The kind of fertilizing
needed will depend more upon the
natural character of the soil, its pre-
Vious treatment and its present me-
chanical condition, than upon the &C.
tual plant food taken up by the grow
ing crop. The following suggestions
as to the amount and composition of
the fertilizers needed for different
crops are based on the experience of
experiment stations, and of successful
farmers in different parts of the coun-
try The figures here biven represent
the averages which have been found
most profitable on ordinary soils in
fair condition.

A little clearing is made by both
men and women, and the women then

says a writer in the Wide World, Il
remember distinctly strong confir-
nation of the custom which places a
woman at the entire mercy of her hus-
band. At one house l visited | saw
standing outside the doorway three
huge stone clubs, each large enough
to fell bullock.
"On making inquiries l found that
they tailed with the number of wives
owning allegiance to the householder;
the clubs were used by the man to
beat his wives with it they annoyed
him. The quaint part of 1t was that
while the women seemed to raise no
objection to being logged unmerciful-
ly by their lord and master, they would
not be beaten with the same weapon
as that used on another woman, so the
natives kept separate club for each

BEANS.

The varieties of beans are very nu-
merous, and include several distinct
species. The Horse Bean (Vicia faba)
an erect plant, two feet or more in
height, with very large seeds, is often
grown as forage crop in Europe and
to some extent n Canada and the north
ern states. In this country, on account
of blighting when the weather becomes
very warm, it is not extensively Guilt
waited.
The Lima Bean (Phaseolus lunatus)
is popular pole and bush variety. 1t
is tender, and should not be planted
until there is no danger of late frosts.
Plant in rows feet apart, using to
A seeds every 8 feet. 1t is we'll to
start the plants in inverted sods in
the hot bed.
The Bush Bean (Phaseolus manus)
which furnishes the white Navy" and
many other similar sorts, is a very
popular variety, as its grows fairly well
on very poor soil, makes quick crop,
and leaves the soil in an improved con-
dition. For snap beans, the WAX"
varieties are the most popular, as the
pods are so thick, fleshy and transpar-
ent as to give them an attractive ap-
pearance.
The Pole Beans (Dhaseolus vulgaris)
including such varieties as the Red
Speckled," Horticultural" and South
ern Prolific" yield more freely than
do the bush varieties, and many think
them of better quality. Where there
is an abundance of room, the bush
varieties are more profitable, but
where the ground is limited more can
be secured from an equal area by
planting the pole varieties.
Soil. Beans will grow and make a
fair yield on poorer soil than almost
any other crop. They may be grown
on any soil which is not too wet, but
succeed best on light, sandy loan.
Cultivation. Beans are planted both
in hills and drills and given clean cul-
tivation. The seed should not be
planted until the soil is well warmed
in the spring, because they are liable
to rot in cold, moist soil.
Fertilizer. If the beans are grown
for ripe seed, the fertilizer need con-
tain but little nitrogen, but must be
rich in phosphoric acid and potash;
that is, per acre, applied in the drill
from 500 to 1000 pounds of fertilizer
containing:
Nitrogen, ..19o
Actual potash, ...........9%o
Available phosphoric acid $50
If the crop be grown for snap beans,
the percentage of nitrogen should be
as high as per cent, the other in
gradients remaining as above.
Suggestions. The profitable culture
Of beans, either for seed or snap beans,
is largely a matter of nearness to mar
ket For growing seed beans on a
large scale special machinery is re-
CURED for harvesting, etc. In small
quantities, seed beans are sometimes
grown for home use by late planting
in corn rows, this late planting being
to escape the weevil If beans must
be stored, they should be treated with
carbon disulphide as protection
against the weevil. The chemical can
be purchased of any druggist, full di-
rections for using accompany it.
