Crowing Beans and Parsnips,
othing is to be gained by planting
th bush beans outdoors too early{
as they are very tender and one light
frost may eitbot kill or retard them
more than a week or store's later
planting, Of course, if you are equip-
pod to coven; or otherwise protect
them and are Kure to attend to it 1100
can get en earlier crop by taking
some risk, But, in any case, it will
not be wise to plant until the ground
is warm and the weather somewhat
settled, as beans plajnted in cold' or
soggy soil are likely to rot in the
ground.
The Various Varieties
Beans naturally divide themselves
in the following classes: The dwarf
green and yellgwpodded, the dwarf
shell beans, which are matured, and
beans shelled out for winter use; the
tall, or pole, green and yellow podded,
and the tall shell -beans for winter.
Few persons grow any of the shell
beans in smell home gardens, and eve
will not further consider them here.
Fo,beans the Soil should be rich
and mellow. To get them tender at
picking time they should have quick
and continuous growth, and this is
best assured when they are planted
in e warn, rich, porous soil, well -
drained• and given plenty of water.
lrirellerotted manure, dug into the
trench, is best; and the soil should be
made fine with the shovel when dig-
ging and finished enith the rake.
Beans are planted in two general
ways:' Ire hills and in furrows or drills.
Cleaner cultivation can be given by
the hill system, but more can be
grown in the same space of garden by
the drill plan.
By the hill system you can hoe all
around them, but when planted, in
drills, if you have many weeds, it will
require hand -weeding along the rows
where the hoe cannot reach.
As some beans, for different rea-
sons, do not germinate, it will pay to
plant them rather thickly, and thin
out in thedrills to four inches apart.
Make the -drills as far apart as may
be convenient. If to be worked en-
tirely with the hoe, eighteen inches
apart will do; if to be worked with the
wheel cultivator, make them two feet
apart between the drills.
When using the hill system of
planting, drop four to six beans to a
hill, making the hills a :foot apart.
When fully up, thin out to three oe
four to a khl.
Beams require frequent cultivation,
always drawing the sod] up around
the plants. If the wheel cultivator
is used it will be well to go over them
with the hoe to get the soil well up

Parsnip a Valuable Feed
As a solid dinner vegetable the
parsnip is welcomed on the tables of
the riesiV'and poor alike, Boiled
with meat it make+ a whole meal, and
it is just as much relished when cook-
ed in sissy of the ' many ways• lit
which it atut be served,
It is the sugar content which minces
the parsnip so valuable es a food, It
is heavy with sugar,. and it is .to get
into it so much of this valuable duality'
that -we give it the very best soil and
cultivation.
A`greatt deal of the value of gibs
parsnip also lies In its good keeping
qualities. It may be taken up blithe
fall and stored in pits, or cool cellars
in sand, or it can be allowed to re-
main in the open ground over winter,
which Will improve its flavor and
mese a good vegetable fon use in the
early spring when such a.t•e scarce.
As they are an all -season vege-
table, they can be planted eighteelt
inches apart, ined the space between
intercropped with .radishes, lettuce
and other sntaller<veetablges,
Best results will be obtained by dig-
ging into the soil as much well -rotted
manure as it will take, using it In the
trench in preference to spreading it
on top. As is the case with all
large -growing root crops, the soil
should be made porous and mellow, so
that the roots can grow and expand
easily.
Parsnip seed is of rather easy ger-
mination, on which account it should
not be covered more than'a half inch
with fine soil. A gentle wetting
down of the drills will pack the soil
and the seeds together sufficiently
that compacting with the foot will.not
be necessary.
Requires Much Water
When the young plants are t:wo
inches high they should be thinned out
to three inches apart.
Earlysmall-growing parsnips which
are pulled out for bunching can be left
stand at three inches apart, but
if you plant the long winter varieties,
they 'should be thinned out to six
inches apart, as their foliage is very
heavy and will crowd even at that
distance. The largest varieties bad
better be thinned out to eight inches.
Parsnips, like all root crops con-
taining large quantities of sugar, re-
quire a great amount of water, and
it shook: be given them regularly; but
be sure that the ground, they are
growing in is•'well drained so that it
does not get boggy.

It is, of course, unjust to the cow
to call -her a machine. Machines do
not possess nerves, whereas a cow has
an intricate system of them. And
the relation between this system and
the milk pail is so intimate that any
condition which affects the cow's nerv-
ous system reacts at once upon the
milk -producing sys em, An undue
disturbance of normal, tranquil con-
dition' -diverts the blood supply, :from
the milk glands and the cow either
"holds up her milk"iar gives a lessen-
ed quantity. It is not without rea-
son that Swiss peasants sing or yodel
softly to their cows at milking time.
If, calves areweaned they should
be fed whole milk until they are one
.month old, when they should be chang-
ed to skim milk. They should be
fed skim milk until they are six
months old. While they are on milk
they should be given some grain' and
alfalfa hay,
A good mixture for grain feed is
:four parts of torn chop, one part of
oil meal, and two parts of wheat bran.
After taking the calf off the milk, in-
crease the grain gradually to two
pounds a day in addition to silage
and alfalfa lay.
The heifers should be bred so as to
calve when from twenty-four to thirty
months. of age, depending upon tho
breed and growth of the animal. If
bred so as to calve earlier than this,
their growth is apt t0 be injured,

purpose of nature In making him play that we should. But in play they
is to educate him. -. )oust meet squarelynthe consequences
This drfTerence is so important and of what they do. The lesson is some-
times emelt 1, sometimes joyful
but it is always plain and un-
disguised: "You did that, there
fore you get this." Must not the
realization of this truth educate
young people away from those happy-
go-lucky, careless deeds, violations of
natural and moral laws, which usual-
ly bring with them a trail of il,health,
failure and misery?
(4) Courage. Very young children
whimper over the .bumps they get in
play, quarrel over their bad luck in
games and brag of their successes.
By the time the fourth or fifth grade
is reached, however no more of that
cowardly or boastful manner is toler-
ated. The youngsters have learned,
through playing, to take the bumps
and blown in silence and to abide by
the laws of the game and the decisions
of the umpire,
'J'hey.began in the clays of their lit-
tle childhood as soreheads but play
has made them honorable sportsmen.
Did you ever see success come to a
grown-up sorehead? I never have.
The spirit which wins ' i_fo is the
spirit of sportemanahip curage to
get hurt, if necessary, for a good
cause, to lose cheerfully and to win
without bragging. ,The child who
does not play may learn this lesson
too late to take his place honorably
when he plays in the great game of
life.
The country offers every opportun-
ity for play and sport but farming is
a difficult and anxious business and
too often those who are engaged in
it, laboring ceaselessly for those im-
mediate results on which their living
depends, forget the educational value
of .free play and team sports to chil-
dren, giving them longer and harder
fundamental that every mother ought
to realize it and have it constantly in
mind. A. child educates .•himself
through his play, A man named
Groos, who has studied this matter
very deeply, believes that one rea-
son why the period of childhood is so
much longer in human beings than it
is in animals -who attain almost at
once about as much intelligence as
they ever have -is in order that they
shall have a long educational course
of play to prepare them for the very
great difficulties of adult 'human life.
We parents must realize, then, that
if we -do not give our youngsters op-
portunities to play, we • are making
cripples of thefts, sendiren them out
into manhood at d_tyomanhood laine,
blind anct deaf as it were, unable to
mareh ie the ranks of success, unable'{
to see life and people as they truly
are or to understand the - demands!
which the world makes upon us.
Whet are some of the lessons, valu-
able in after life, which play teaches
to children?
(1) Justice, When tots begin to play
together each one seeks to grab ler
himself the most attractive toys.
Gradually, however, the necessity of
sharing is impressed upon the little
brains. By and by the age of games
comes and then this lesson is repeat-
ed. Finally, those great spurts, base-
ball, football, basketball, are en-
tered into which teach, with a
power which no sermon can ever
attain, the lesson of fair Way and co-
operative action. What an example
there is in the incident of the tennis
player who had an opportunity to win
the national championship by a fluke
his opponent made but who, instead,
intentionally made the same fluke
himself on the next hall so as to win -
if win he could -by his own skill and
not on his opponent's misfortune.
Would you not trust that Klan's fair
play in any business deal? No very
young boy, I think, would be equal to
such a sacrifice but through play -
and only thus -he will acquire that
desire to give every ratan his due and
of winning fairly and squarely in all
the relations of life .or not at all.
(2) The Power to Decide Wisely and
they become un y
usually soft the condition becomes one
which is dangerous:
It is therefore easy to see how
desirable it is to determine the blood -
pressure from time to time and find
out the condition of the arterial wall.
One form of instrument measures
this pressure, as I have already stat-
ed, by the height to which a column
of ''mercury is raised in a capillary
tube and another by the registry of an
indicator upon :.i circular dial plate as
the result of pressure upon a spring,
but these springs vary in their re-
sisting power and the column of
mercury is therefore more accurate
and reliable.
A certain number on the scale of
the instrnni,ent 'indicates the blood
pressure as the ventricle of the heart
contracts and sends out the column
of blood into the arteries.
This is the maximum and is ob-
tained when the pressure of the di-
lated rubber bag, which is a part of
the instrument, over the artery at the
elbow which is chosen for the meas-
urement, obliterates the flow of the
blood current within it.
The minimum is indicated on the
register when the pressure of the rub- a tractor is used,as there is then suf-
ber bag is released and the current,
ficient power to operate the machine
at the proper speed to insure best re-
sults. An even coat of fine manure
on the fields means a wonderful in-
creased productive power per acre.
It is advisable to build a shed in
which to store the manure \until en-
ough has been collected to pay for
"hitching up" the tractor. This out-
fit can do more work in a day than
three teams, do it better and at less
cost, Just take those other two days
ofr and enjoy life by the fire reading
some good books and papers. Thus
the tractor makes farm life easier and
more attractive, besides saving help
at a time when helpers are scarce and
getting scarcer. The fanner of to-
day who has a tractor has taken the
most important stop toward solving
the labor problem. ---Earle W. Gage.

the cloud." -Elizabeth Barrett Brown-

Liming acid soils, especially by

Making a Hard Job Easy,

pleasing results than hitching it to

job for the best of farm teams, for
doing the work right means not only
