lowing case tickeed His Majesty King George the

Relative to the cultivation Of the white
bean the Country Gentleman says:


The cultivation of the bean should be
extended. The crop has this great ad-
vantage--if the price is low, the beans
may be mixed with corn and other grain,
ground, and fed to cows and sheep
They ore one of the very best kinds of
food for mich cows. The crop does not
impoverish the land, and when fed to
domestic animals, the manure is rich and
valuable.


Many suppose that poor rand is neces-
sary to raige white beans-only because
they will grow better on poor land than
other crops. Manuring the land for them
has doubled the crop. Nothing is bet
ter for them than good rich corn land
If the soil is rather heavy, an excellent
way is to turn over the sod late in the
spring, roll and harrow it and plant the
beans. There will be less hoeing need
ed as fresh inverted sod is usually clean
soil. When the soil is free from weeds
the best way is to drill in the beans, so
that the drills may be about two and a.
half or three feet apart, and the seed 2
inches apart in the drills. If drill can
not be had, furrow out the land, and drop
the beans by mailing or tying a small tin
pail to the lower end of rod about the
size of a walking stick, make hole in
the bottom large enough for the beans to
pass out, and walk along, shaking it over
the furrow. The quantity or distance
may be perfectly regulated by making
the hole the right size from trial, by
shaking more or less rapidly, and walk
ing slow or fast.


If the soil is weedy, plant in hills a
foot and half apart in the row, and
seven to a hill. The beans will be yell
low in three months, and ready for har-
vesting which is done bypulling them. If
the weather continues dry a few days,
they will soon be dry enough, if placed
in small heaps. IF wet weather is fear
ed, take the punches and place them in
small stacks made around pole driven
into the ground, radiating from the cen
ter or pole, and with either roots or tops
out-these stacks may be as high as a
man can easily reach, and should be built
on four small sticks at the bottom, the
size Of stove wood, laid across 10 keep
the beans of the wet ground, and to al
low the drying wind % Blow UNDER
Nhen quite dry, draw but the pole and
draw them to the barn, and thrash during
the winter.


As a single proof of the profits of
bean raising, a gentleman of Geneva,
New York recently informed US that he
had planted small white beans In the va
cancies of his extensive nursery, where
trees had been dug last Spring
ting to about 40 acres. The cultivation
cost almost nothing, as they stood in rows
of scattered trees; but he thinks if the
beans stood alone, the whole cost of cul-
tivation would not have been eight dol
lars an acre. They had 500 bushels of
beans, which sold at one dollar and fifty
cents per bushel, for 81 ZOO The cost
of cultivation, estimated at the very high
est at 1920, deducted from this sum,
leaves a clear profit of $3.50 for the use
of the 40 acres of land. They have fine,
rich, tile-drained land, bat it had evident
ly been considerably exhausted by the
preyjouS growth of trees. I

GENERAL BURNSIDE.


General Burnside is hungry enough
for glory, as a soldier should be, but he
is not a selfsufficient or an over-conf-
dent man. If he is enterprising he is
cautious. He is careful enough in pre-
paration, but he knows that after pre-
paration he is expected to fight, and,
fighting, is expected to win. To say that
he is able to maneuver on the field OF
battle two hundred thousand men, train
ed in modern tactics, is to say that he is
able to do what no man on this continent
has been thought capable. But one man
in history has been thoroughly believed
to be competent in strategy on SO I'M
mense a scale But that, on battle
scene of vast dimensions, Gen. Burnside
will fail to know the moment when re-
serves shall be sent to the help OF the
right grand division under Sumner, or
the left grand division under Franklin,
or the center grand division under Hook
er. is to believe that he has not deserved
the command he has held and the sue
cesses he has won. He has none Of
those baleful military jealousies which
sacrifice armies and causes lest the hon
ors of victory may be reflected upon a
rival Ii the supports he orders be
marching to victory, they will be for
warded with hearty speed, not only with
ont one pang of envy from him, but with
all patriots JOY, though their coming
be to bind the brightest wreaths OF glory
around another's brow.


THE SUBORDINATE COMMANDERS.


General Sumner deserves the post Of
honor, on the right. Tried, faithful, fear
less, going into battle in the bravery Of
full uniform and waving plumes, often
appearing exposed in the front of fight,
when his dashing presence lent spirit to
weary, hard pressed and wavering men,
he is an energetic and useful officer.
General Franklin is an able and highly
trained soldier, and will acquit himself
well in the command of a corps But
make way for the Center Grand Division,
under Hooker Let the foe who fronts
the men he leads look well to their lines
that day. How like lion he stormed
down on their beaten, broken lines at
Antietam! When he started that morn
ing, impetuous, resistless, his brave
men, who had caught the fiery i'm
pulse of their chief halted for no OBJ
Stable, and were stayed by no foe. Over
infantry, cavalry, artillery, they fought
their way, and as they went, it was clear
to see that mid day this resistless advance
would roll up the rebel hosts like scroll
and by sundown hold it captive in it,
hand. But when, at 9 o'clock, Hooker
fell, struck by ball, men who haC
watched his splendid advance, his mag
nifcent success, exclaimed, " Where L
the man who will follow up the glorious


advantages, or will see that they ar,
followed up?' No such man followed
Hooker that day. On distant part o
the field, Burnside, stubbornly ightin!

gress has still one year to run. In that
time some of the most desperate battles
the world ever heard of will have been

war is concerned, we shall gain nothing

soldier who left his wife and child behind

We will always concede the need Of patri.

leaves his home and business to save his
country from threatening perils; but we
contend that the fond wife who relinquishes
her husband, and with her babe accepts the
double cares aud utter loneliness Of a three
years separation from him who is more
than life to her, in all that goes to make up
the sum of patriotic heroisln, is immeas,
urably above her companion. 1t is quite
