AGRICULTURE.
Field Beans.—lt is stated that few of
the Western States produce a supply ot
white beans suliicient lor home con
sumption, and the amount eaten Is far
smaller than it should be. No vegeta
ble food contains a larger amount of
nutriment than beans. In the forma
tion ot museles they are nearly equal
to any kind of meat. Beans form a
staple article of diet in all countries
noted for their thrift. The institution
of baked beans had had much to do with
the prosperity of the New England
States. Famine rarely if ever occurs
in countries where beans form a lead
ing article of food. Scarcely any crop
can be produced from a given amount
of land that will supply as many per
sons with food as a crop of beans.
Common tield beans are easily and
cheaply raised. The seed costs .very
little, and the labor of cultivation of it
is small. A very fair crop ot' beans
may be raised by sowing them broad
east in sod turned over in May. If
sown in this manner no cultivation is
required. It is usual to plant theui in
drills on old land and to tend the crop
with a hoe and cultivator. The drills
may be as near together as will allow
the running tf a cultivator between
them. Little cultivation Is required
ixcept to keep down the weens and
grass. The plants should never be dis
turbed while thev are wet with dew or
rain,' as the least touch will cause the
leaves to rust. The land on which
beans are planted should be of nearly
uniform character, so that they might
ail ripen at about the same time. A
very rich soil is not necessary for the
production of a good crop of beans. It
is necessary, however, that the land be
dry. No crop will do as well on sandy
hills and knolls as common white
beans.
SWEET POTATOES.— The soil for sweet
potatoes should be what we call moder
ately productive. Fresh, grey land is
best. It rarely pays to plant out draws
very early, but above all. the ground
should le freshly plowed bi fore plant
ing. It Is a commoir practice to plant
immediately after a rain, but it is much
better to wait until the ground will do
to plow and make the beds airesh. The
cultivation should begin in a few dajfs
after planting, or as soon as the plants
have become somewhat established, and
should be repeated at short intervals.
The early workings are much more im
portant than the latter. Of manures,
those containing potash are especially
adapted to the potatoe—hence ashes
are very beneficial. Superphosphate
of lime containing also potash, is the
best form of commercial fertilizer. The
backyard compos , composed of yard
sweepings, wood-pile scrapings, soap
suds, and other household and kitchen
waste, is well suited for potatoes. The
plants are often set too thickly in the
rows ar.d the rows are too close. Three
and a half to four feet between rows
and two feet between plants are about
the proper distances, requiring about
2 000 plants to the acre. When plant
ed so close as three feet by one foot, as
is often done when the work is entrust
ed to careless hands, nearly 15,000
plants are required for one acre, and
the supply, which usually controls the
aiea planted, is soon exhaued.
How IT PAYS TO RAISE CURRANTS.—
Let us look_for a moment into the de
tails of gro'wiug, ?ay half an acre of
currants, and note what the result is
likely to be. A piece of land fitted to
produce s good crop of potatoes is in
good condition to set to currants. To
set them four by five feet will require
about twelve hundred bushes, and they
should cost about $5 per hundred, or
S6O. During the first season potatoes
may be planted between the rows and
between the bushes, without materially
injuring the growth of the bushes oi
the yield of the potatoes. During the
second year beans may be planted be
tween the rows, which, with what fruit
is obtained, should pay the original SOO.
And the third year they should product
one and one-half pounds to the bush,
which, at six cents per pound, would
amount to SI6S. After the bush had
attained PS growth, with good culture,
a fair average yield would be about
three pounds to tlie bush, which, at six
cents per pound, would amount tc
$216. The expense for labor and ma
nure anually would not vary materially
from that required on half an acre ot
potatoes after they were planted.
What the Pennsylvania Railroad is Doing
In Philadelphia.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
is indefatigable in its efforts to improve
the carrying capacities of its road, and at
the same time accommodate the traveling
public in the best manner. All along itf
various lines new and commodious depots
have been erected, and at the same time
track facilities multiplied to supply busi
ness demands. But the work of the great
est magnitude and importance on this line
has been undertaken by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company in building an Elevated
Railroad from their present depot in West
Philadelphia to Fifteenth and Market streets.
Philada., thus bringing t! eir line into the
very heart of the city and landing passengers
within a few minutes walk of the principal
Hotels and business places of the city. Thi -
important work which was commenced in
November last has been pushed rapidly for
ward during the Winter and Spring months
and is niw in such a condition as to war
rant the belief that the Line will be com
pleted and in operation by the first <sf De
cember of this year.
The Elevated road starts from a point
near the Western end of the passenger
sheds at West Phila. depot aud ruus on a
direct lino with Filbert Street to the river,
crossing t#b Schuylkill just north of
Market Street on a three span iron bridge,
464 feet in length, which will be built to
aocommodate two passenger and one freight
track. The road is carried over the Gas
Works property and at 22d St. leaves Filbert
and turns into the property lying between
Filbert and Jones Sts., which the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company recently pur
chased for this purpose, thus providing
ample room for eight tracks between this
point and Fifteenth street.
The road will be constructed in the beet
possible manner. From the bridge t
twenty-second street it will be supported
by wrought iron pillars eighteen inches in
thameter, placed on stone foundations,
from that point to the depot the road bed
will consist of a series ot brick arches rest
ing on solid stone foundations, there being
about twelve of these arches to a fquare
and the railroad being carried over all the
intervening street crossings and being so
constructed as not to interfere with tiave 1
on the streets.
The new depot will be built to face the
Public Buildings, and will extend back to
Sixteenth street. It will be made to ac
commodate both the passenger and freight
business of the Company, giving largely in
creased facilities for both.
Over one thousand men are now em
ployed on this improvement, and the force
will be still further increased as the work
progresses. The cost of building the road
and purchasing the property required foi
the purpo. e is estimated at Three Millions
pf Dollars

—For maeramo lace either thread sup
plied for the purpose may be used; or,
as it is rather expensive, line string, a
pale brown color and lour pence or si*

equally well. To make a pillow your
self, get an old wooden box—your

with bran, and cover it tightly all
round the sides with a piece ot calico
or hollaml. Make a slit in the top of
Lite cover, and with a spoon till in as
much more bran as you can squeeze in.
In this way you get the pillow much
firmer. Sew up the slit with a strong
thread, and then cover all round with
a piece of bed ticking, putting the
straight lines the length of the box,
as they are a guide in keeping the
threads straight. Put an extra piece
on at the side, in order to form a little
pocket, in which to keep the pins,
crocliet-hook and knitting-pin required
in the work.* The two latter are used
in the Solomon's knots. The thread is
fastened to the pillow by a strong pin,
aud the more pins used for fastening
the knot as you proceed with the pat
tern, the firmer and more even will the
work be.

glycerine, stirring in a little oil of rose.
Keep in small jars or small wide-neck
ed bottles. In cold weather keep close
ly exposed to warmth. Half or a fourth
of theabove quantity may be used. It
is excellent for sot ton lug the skin, for
most injured skin surfaces that are not
open soreo, for ohated places, for moist
ening corns Or calloused feet or toes,
and especially for chapped face, lips,
or hands. When the hands are chap
ped or cracked, or roughened by cold,
wash them clean with soap, and rub
them well with this glycerine oint
ment, wiping it off to prevent soiling
clothing. If this is done at night, the
hands will be soft and in good condi

TURPENTINE KOR SNAKE BITES.—A
writer says: "I bad stopped for the
night at a hotel in southern Missouri,
when another traveler hastened in
whose dog had been bitten when a mile
away and its tiiroat had then swollen
in size equal with its head, and the an
imal was in great agony. Its owner
asked for spirits of turpentine, which,
being furnished, he applied repeatedly
to the bitten part, until the dog became
quiet, and by morning it was well.
This traveler resides in the Ozark
mountain region in Arkansas, where
he had, as he said, witnessed many
such cures, not of animals only, but
also of men, and that lip believed it an
infallible remedy, if soon applied. It
quickly relieves the sting of a bee, and
may cure the bite of a cobra if immedi
ately applied outwardly, and a little
internally on sugar, as is done by hun
ters amid tlie Ozarks, who carry it in
iheir pockets as they traverse that
region where snakes abound."

PREPARING MANURE FOR HOT-BEDS.
—Jf resh stable manure, in which there
is plenty of litter, is most suited lor
rjiis purpose. There should lie at least
one-third litter in the heap. If this
is not in the mass in sufficient quantity
add leaves ortanbark; shake It up and
mix it well together, adding water if
at all dry and musty, and throw it into
a compact heap to ferment. Let it re
main a week, and then work it over
thoroughly, as before, and add water,
if necessary. Where the ground i 3
quite dry a very good method is to dig
a space about eighteen inches deep,
and put in the manure, tramping.it
firmly and evenly, and place thereon
the frame or sash and put In the rich
earth, and in about four days sow the
seed, having previously stirred the
earth freely to destroy the seeds of
weeds therein.

SAVK THE COAL ASHES. —It ts not
generally appreciated hew much heavy
soils can be ben ell ted by the use of coal
ashes, now genera ly wasted or applied
to the roads. Vick says, in his estima
ble mouthy magazine, that it is quite
satisfactorily shown that coal unites,
though not having mauurial value suf
tloient to warrant any expense for car
riage or long hauling, may with advan
tage be spread upon the ground where
they are produced. Mixed with heavy
soils, their mechanical effect is to light
en it and make it porus and triable. A
number of experiments with coal ashe*,
publicly reported within the last year
or two, leave no doubt that they have
at leasUsome slight value as mauure,
and that mixed with heavy land their
effect Is very beneiloial. I'pon tills
subject a practical cultivator, through
the eolumns of a late number ol
of a British journal, gives the follow -

to which sometimes are given specious names.
We assert that there Is no known remady thai

Travelers should always carry a bottle of RAW

in water will prevent sickness or pains from
change ot water. It Is better than Frenob
brandy or bitters as a stimulant.

be provided with U.
CAUTION.
Jill remedial agents capable ot destroying life
by an overdone should be avoided. Morphine,
opium, strychnine, arnica, byosctsmus, and
other powerful remedies, does at certain times,
in vary small doses, relieve the patient during
their action in the system." But perhaps the
aeoond doee, if repeated, may aggravate and In
crease the suffering, and another doee causs
death. There le no necessity for using the-*
uncertain agents when a positive remedy liks
KADWAT'S KKADT RBLIKF will stop the m- at ex
cruciating pain quicker, without entailing the
least Afffloultv In sftbar infant or adult.
