The pods are produced in great
abundance and should. be gathered
when less than half crown, as they are
worthless after the hardening Of their

plants require considerable warmth,

They are planted in rows or hills

tables, and know. Some, of course, do
not pan out well, but that is to be ex-

with much lauded novelties.
The townsman who is. often de-
barred from gardening by stress Of cir

no excuse for the farmer who has

on June in parts OF the United
States. On that day, in broad band
from Seattle, Wash, to Jacksonville,
Fla, before sunset a gigantic shad-
ow will literally wipe the sun out OF
the sky for an instant. The total
eclipse OF the sun in June will cover
the greatest path in the United
States since 1865 and will present
the greatest opportunity for observa-

Mr.. PENN'S WHEEL
GOES OVER BANK

There was an exciting incident
Tuesday at the quarries near Kear.

ing made for the rebuilding OF the
plant that was destroyed by fire, says
the Advocate. John Penn, carpen-
ter, of Martinsburg, had come to his
work on a motorcycle, and as he APP
preached the quarries something
went wrong with the machine and
he couldn't stop is 1t took him over
an embankment with a drop OF about
forty feet, when he managed to save
himself a further fall. The motor
cycle. however, took another plunge
and finally landed at the bottom of
the quarry bole in about fifteen or
twenty feet of wafer Mr.. Penn was
bruised good deal but was lucky
enough to escape serious injury A
beat has been patched UP aud efforts
will he made to recover the motor
cycle.
