SQWSFIELD • One of the surest and best tnouey maIdng features Ott any farm is the bean crop. Tliis product is in con- stant demand at good prices and way be sold in the genera! market or put upin caul for private customers. ''Two or three acres of common bush beans is not too Large a crop for the ordinary farm, and If an acre or even. half an acre of pole Uma beans can be added the results will be worth while. • While the bean crop seldom fails, caution is needed in planting and fen tilizing. The ground must be warm ai the outset. The early planting that will pay in handling a crop of peas will not do for beans. It is best to use a light soil which is tiled or elevated enough for drainage, Moisture anti richness are required, but the land should not be allowed to become soggy In getting ready for a bean crop a good plan is to plow under a piece of clover sod in the fall, putting on a lib• eral amount of barnyard manure. Disk and harrow the ground iu the spring As the crop is not ten early one and must have rapid growth, it pays to supply plenty of plant food. A formu• la containing 2 per cent of nitrogen, 8 per cent of phosphoric acid and 10 pei cent of potash gives good results. Oxl land where clover is grown and well O Co seoo0. 00000000000 A COLD P'RAME FOB NOBTHEIiN LATITUDES. supplied with stable manure a fertilizes containing plenty of phosphoric acid and potash increases yields and insures uniform quality. Use 250 to 400 pounds per acre of this fertilizer, drilling it in on each side of the tube through which the beans run. It is not safe to drill fertilizer with the beans, for it is likely to injure the seed. In northern latitudes use a hotbed or cold frame to make the start and also plant seed in the open ground for suc- cession. Early in May cover the sur- face of a cold frame with inverted sods cut in squares of about four inches. In each of these plant two or three beaus. Fivm the start water frequently and admit plenty of air. When the soil outdoors has become thoroughly warm transplant In open ground. The sods are lifted with a spade after watering. Care must be taken not to break the soil or disturb the roots. The lima should be planted in very rich soil with a well balanced fertilizer. Wood ashes are excellent. Hen manure and wood ashes can be so used as to give good results. Work part of the fertilizer in the soil with the harrow, the balance in the hills or ;'S furrows. • The two varieties will thrive with simple methods of planting. When growing the pole lima make a furrow three or four inches deep, scatter in it fertilizers and mix these with the soil, level and firm well; then over it make a mark one or two inches deep and in this press the beans, eye down, one or two inches apart. Put about half an inch of soil over them and firm well. Set posts over the row and fasten six foot wire netting to them. To this the vines are trained as they grow, but 'are -cul o'!I when they reach the top. Judicious pruning is necessary to make them bear well and produce large pods. If poles are easily obtained I have no objection to using them, except that the vines require more attention than when trained on trellises. People have used outside rows of corn for a sup- port and also sunflowers, but for the main crop wire netting is most satis- factory. A considerable quantity or green string beans can be put up by the farm family in a simple canning out- fit. The bean is most valuable for canning purposes when the tiny seed has just started to form. Unlike peas, it is the tender pod which is valuable for canning. It is the aim of expert , growers to get a uniform, tender, sap- I py growth of beans, and hence the f plant food used should be carefully i balanced. Beans must be picked while they are tender and young, before they become stringy. There is compara- tively little labor in canning, and prices are on a profitable basis.

Louisville Courier Journal: A court in New York holds that the law may not interfere with a man who uses pro- I fane language in his own home. His home is his castle, or his cuss -house. maybe the judge said, and while his religion or his wife may enjoin him, the law of the land may not. Here we have a question which has not hitherto been settled so formally as it is by a judicial decision. The im- portance of the decision admits of no debate. Mother Shipton, one of Bret Harte's California characters, enjoyed walking out upon a mountainside to a point at which she could see Poker Flats, froin which she had been exiled in the in- terest of the improvement of incrtality, that she might hurl maledictions down upon the heads of the unjust; it did her good, she said, to "go` out there and cuss and gaze, and gaze and cuss." It is only where the out of doors is spacious and the population sparse that the indulgence of Mother Shipton may' be enjoyed without danger of prose- cution. In crowded centres a man may not say what he thinks, if he thinks in profanity, without evoking arrest. But one of the consolations of the home - builder under the decision of the court is that he rears a temple of liberty in which he may go as far as he likes in the matter of violent speech, provided, of course, he can express himself with- out having the family next door for an audience. The detached home may not I be pre -requisite to indulgence in pro- fanity, but it is safer to buy that kind of a home if yours happens to be a vigorous vocal apparatus. 1 THE TELEPATHY OF KINDNESS. When Otto Rudbeck came to this country he got a position as farm hand 'through an employment agency, says Youth's Companion. The wages were small, for Otto did not know enough English to bargain for himself, and 1 Mr. Barrows was a busy, driving man, rather inclined to be petulant if any - 1 thing went wrong. The young fellow tried to do his best, but his life was lonely; no one paid much attention to him, and the "kitchen chamber" where he lodged, was not much more attract- ' ive than the horses' stalls in the stables areola the y a.d. 'The fellow was no use to me," Mr. Barrows declared, with some trace of the impatience that had led to Otto's dismissal still lingering in his voice. "I guess he was willing enough, and he had no bad habit, as far as I know, but I couldn't make him understand what I wanted done. I'd rather work a little harder myself than bother with Viet kind c t help." 1 The young Swede got another place Good Garden Seed. Good seed is an important matter with the gardener as well as the farm- er. It never pays to buy cheap seed. Experiments were carried on a year or two ago by the Pennsylvania Ilxperi• ment station with some ten or more strains of cabbage seed of the same varieties from different firms. They. found ye/101ons of yield froin five tei "tfik brOtero toner an *cfe, Istaarditt bs the dtttjdn tit aeod. of the httlfitat..OKI* ►t ,.$y t#illAelot! Wee to the acre hi net returns, even it( it did poet a few cat non 4tAsail , before the day was out, and his second employer, Mr. Kemp, soon began to speak highly of the new hand. Mr. Kemp was a quiet, kind-hearted man, who took a genuine interest in the lad and both he and his wife did everything in their power to make the stranger feel at home in his unaccustemed sur- roundings. They talked with him whenever they could, about himself and his family and the old home across the sea, and Mrs. Kemp often opened the organ and played over the songs and hymns in a Swedish hook of music he had brought with him when he came to America. Otto's desire to be "kep' on" was so strong, and he proved to be so trust. worthy, industrious a lad, that he stayed four or five years with the Kemps, and would, doubtless, have re- mained longer had not the failing health of his mother called him back to Sweden. Whenever anyone asked him about the difficulty his first employer had in making himself understood, young Rudbeck used to shake his head slowly, after a fashion of his own, and say, 'in his odd, stilted English, "Queeck, sharp words do not cut in." His idea was that there is a kind of telepathy be- tween heart and heart that makes a word spoken in kindness more intelli- gible than the same word flung out carelessly or impatiently. Matter-of- fact people may smile increduously at that, but it is certainly true that David Livingstone made himself so well understood in the dialects of the native African tribes -with which he was very imperfectly acquainted -that he won their almost idolatrous affection. Active, sympathetic kindness is al- ways understood. It is the practical Volapuk of humanity. Whether it makes a'foreign word more intelligible or not, it is a speech in itself. and al- ways makes its own plea for good will, cheerfulness, and friendly relations. 'When Blood Is Poison.

How it Is Done and How the Flesh of the Animal Tastes. There are two ways of bagging a hippopotamus. says a writer h. the Vide world llagclztue,Anad ueitlter is justified unless the sportsman Is sorely in want of food, for Its (meat Is very poor indeed and wants a good deal of preparation to be paliitable to any One except the starving. It busa taste I can only describe as fishy, something what beef would taste like after being wrapped up for a couple of days with a Scotch haddock of deiibtNui fresh- ness. Tine hippo may be shot In water. When mortally wounded tie will sink and will not reappear on the surface for several hours, consequently a tiring lookout has to be kept for the carcass. If he is ouly slightly wounded lie may charge, but more often he will lien and die in the reeds to serve as food` for scavenger birds or crocodiles. The other sad snore sporting way is to shoot him on land. This is, as a rule, only possible at night or late in the evening and early In the morning. It would not be wise to find oneself between the river and the wounded hippo, for he at once makes for the water by the shortest route, and be goes so fust that getting out of his way requires pretty speedy feet and great coolness of nerve, FORCES OF NATURE. Soft Their Touch, but Constant and• Effective Their Work. What adds to the wonder of the earth's grist is that the millstones that did the work and are still doing it are the gentle forces that career above our heads -the sunbeam, the cloud, the air, the frost. The rain's gentle fall, the air's velvet touch. the sun's noiseless rays, the frost's exquisite crystals, these combined are the agents that crush the rocks, pulverize the moun- tains and transform continents of sterile granite into a world of fertile soil. It is as if baby fingers did the work of powder and dynamite. Give the clouds and the sunbeams time enough and the Alps and the Andes disappear before them or are transformed into plains where corn may grow and cattle graze. . The snow falls as lightly as down and lies almost as lightly. yet the crags tumble beneath it; compacted by gravity, out of it grew the tremendous ice sheet that ground off the mountain summits, that scooped out lakes and valleys and modeled our northern land- scapes as the sculptor his clay im- age. -John Burroughs. The Distinguished Guest. Captain Raabe was a man whose name had weight in the French cav- alry. He was a tall man, belonging to the middle aged trooper type. With military qualities of the highest kind, he had a singular bearing, a savage sort of misanthropy and a cynical tongue, which stood In the way of pro- motion. When he was in the Sixth lancers, on garrison duty at Com - mercy, one of his comradds brought his father to dine with him at the offi- cers' mess, a man of humble position and unpretentiously dressed. Captain Raabe, considering that this guest had not been fitly received, gave expres- sion to his opinion, saying that if the executioner of Commercy had come in evening dress he would have had a bet- ter reception. The officers demurring. he made no rejoinder, but shortly aft- erward came to mess with a guest whose dress was irreproachable. Every one lavished attentions on the un- known. When dinner was over Cap- tain Raabe, raising his glass, proposed the health of "the executioner of Com - mercy." Sir Isaac Newton. The discovery of gravitation was the first of many great ideas that came to "the greatest original thinker of all time." Newton was also the pioneer in announcing the physical properties of light. His epitaph, translated from the Latin, on his monument in West. minster Abbey describes in a few words the greatest accomplishments of Newton. It reads: • "Here lies Isaac Newton, who by vigor of mind always supernatural first demonstrated the motions and figures of the planets, the paths of the comets and the tides of the ocean. He discovered what before his time no one said even suspected, that rays of Light are differently refrangible and that this is the cause of colors." Suffered From Salt Rheum FOR MANY YEARS.
