RAISING LIMA BEANS.
The Ohio Way of Trailing Tlim 1'pon
TriMHs.
An Ohio correspondent of the Am
erican Agriculturist writes: This do
llclou.t ond wholesomo lio::n Is ono of
the pleasures and prolliB of Ihe gar
den. Any good garden Boil will grow
them, and the varieties are multiply
ing. When I select my reed for the
next season I always do U when pick
ing the green crop. Whenever I find
an early, well formed and well filled
pod I mark It by tying a string loose
ly around Its stem and lot It hang for
ripening.
I always plant In rows three feot
apart, and for my family of Beven I
plant two rows liO feot long or four,
rows 10 feot long. This gives us an
abundance of green picking and qulta
a number of meases of the dry beans.
I make the ground nlco, fine and
amootta. Then I draw a line and Btlckl
the bean edgewise eye down, 4 Inches
apart In the row, with my thumb and
forefinger, and then sift along the row
nome finely pulverized stable man
ure. When the beans ore up suffi
ciently high I cultivate carefully un
til they start their runners, then I go
to the lumber yard and get three light
Trellis for Limn Cram,
post 2x2 and two strips of inch plank)
2 Inches wide. If my rows are 20 feet)
long, I put one poat equidistant be
tween the rows at each end, and one In
the middle. Then I put the strips of
loard edgewise on these posts as high)
up on rhem as I can conveniently
reach. These strips form a ridge polo
above, and between the rows. I then
split some short stakes about 15 tnchea
long out of a ploce of board or straight
eplitting stove wood, and drive them
directly in the rows of beans in a
elantlng position about 3 feet apart
in the rows. Then using ordinary
wool twine I run a string along these
stakes, looping It on them do as to keep
it from slipping; and from this string
I pass strings over the rldgo board to
each bean hill, and the work Is done;
only 1 then carefully looaon up tha
eoll, pull the earth from the centre
well up to the rows, and then let them
run along the strings till they reach
the top, which Is the Blgual for pinch
ing the runners off. The cost and
trouble is small, and the string and
poles can be used for several seasons.
Besides, when a little care Is taken to
do the work neatly, the growing
beans are an ornament in the garden.
I raise all pole beans the same way.
THC. REACH OF ROOTb.
Experiment at tlie LtHh Station Estab
lish Important Facte.
It Is well known that when a crop
is removed from the soil there Is left
in the ground u certain proportion of
root material, which adds so much
fertilizing matter to tho soil, accord
ing to the kind of crop removed, and
much of this material Is taken from
the soil Itself, far down below the
reach of the plow, being stored in the
plants a well as In the roots. Agri
culturists have never fully determin
ed the value of the roots to the soil
except In a few cases with certain
kinds of plants, such as clover and
some of the grasses. The Utah Ex
periment station has, however, made
a series of experiments In this direc
tion, which throw considerable light
on the subject. Trials with roots at
various depths have been quite limit
ed, and the effect of tillage on cutting
roots will be very much modified.
There are those who favor deep plow
ing, so as to give the roots better op
portunities for extending downward,
but others object because deep plow
ing cuts the roots.
It was found that the weight of the
roots of potatoes was but 120 pound
per acre, and the greatest weight was
found in the seventh Inch of depth.
Barley gave 376 pounds per acre, the
greatest weight being In the third inch
of depth. Corn gave 462 pounds of roots
per acre, one-third of this weight be
ing at the fourth inch depth. The
Unit inch contains but 16 pounds.
.Wheat gave about 493 pounds, the
greatest weight being in the fourth
inch. Timothy gave 1,303 pounds, one
lialf of which was at the first inch.
The oat crop gave 1,888 pounds of
roots, the greatest weight being at two
and three inches depth, the most lin
ing at three inches. The fact that tha
greatest weight of roots is found at
from one to four inches does not In
dicate that deep plowing is a necessity
nnd it is probably a surprise to many
that tho weight of the roots of oats la
so heavy.
Clover throws all other plants in
the shade in proportion to weight of
roots left in the soil, the weight ot
roots for a four-year-old sod being
6,630 pounds and two-year-old clover
roots weighed 1,481 pounds. The old
clover gave its greatest weight In the
second inch of soil (1,248 pounds), and
the first Inch contains 1.0G8 pounds.
After passing five inches in depth tha
decrease in weight was very rapid, be
ing but 125 pounds for the sixth inch,
and 48V& pounds for the twelfth Inch.
In the face of these facts the value of,
clover as a sub-soiler is not as great
as was supposed, Its benefit to the soli
being due to the influence of the tu
bercles in the roots. The preponder
ance of roots is shown for the major
ity of crops to be in the upper soli,
where they 'food, and the experiment
1s not favorable to deep plowing, aa
many of the accepted theories Been
to be overthrown. It is, however, af
I strong point in favor of the rotation
' of crops, and the result of the experi
ment will be to lead to radical changes
In cultivation.

It will not pay to pasture cattle oil

the present methods, and the preser

Alfred was a l.inky, loose-jointed

hands oa tlio plantation called It, "a

arrogance of tho copper-alloyed negro
ho bolted down upon tho darkcr-huod
members of his race.
He was employed In doing odd Jobs
about tho plantation, and ono day waa
coming over the railroad crossing on,
his way from the "big spring," bal
ancing a bucket of water upon tha
hatless crown of his woolly head,
when, as ho paused to look up and
down the lines of glittering steel ralla
ostensibly to see "wedder de shoo fly
train dey on time," he caught sight of
a rival enemy, I'aul Youngblood, a
thick-set. bullet-headed black, a year
or two older and many pounds heavier
than our hero. Tutting down his
bucket and lounging toward the new
comer, who had paused at the cross
ing, Alfred demanded:
"Paul, wat you tell rink 'about ma

"Tell w'Ich Tlnk?"
"Aun' Sarah gra'daater Pink. You

"Who tell you I know she?"

"Who me?" , .

"Blpp." Alfred took a henry light
wood knot from a pile of engine wood
near by and brought It down with a
whack on tho thick skull of his op
ponent. The blow didn't seem to trou
ble the recipient much, and he stood,
looking dazedly at hia assailant until
tho sight of his own blood trickling
down the planks reminded him that
ho had been dospltefully used. Seizing
Alfred suddenly by the ears he butted
him full In the forehead and the two
nkulls crashed together with the sound
like the coupling of freight cars with
automatic bumpers. The battle was a
short one. Alfred fell to earth and
was soundly belabored before I could
make the now thoroughly aroused Paul
abandon the fight
"Now, Alfud," said the conqueror,
"I done bruk yo' mout', you la satisfy,

Alfred rose from the fray with a
triumphant face, his "head bloody but
unbowed."

Wanted a Change of Diet.
An old gray-haired woman stands
about the entrance of a big downtown
building and asks for alms in about
this strain:
"Mister, please give me a few pen
nies to buy bread."
This she has been repeating over
and over until the occupants of the
building have all become familiar with
every intonation of her short song.
The other afternoon a stout, middle
aged man, who had heard her plain
tive appeal many tlme3 a day for sev
eral months, was rushing Into the
building. He evidently had some im
portant business on his mind that must
be attended to quickly. As usual, the
old weman stuck out her hand and
greeted him with:
"Mister, please give me a few pen
nies to buy bread."
Stopping suddenly, and quickly
thrusting a bill In her hand, the man
full of business said gruflly:
"Here; you go buy some pie. You
eat too much bread!" New York Ad

Off and On.
A lawyer noted tot hla success on
cross-examination found his match in
a recent trial, when he asked a long
suffering witness how long he had
worked at his business of tin-roofing.
The answer was: "I have worked at
it off nnd on, but have worked at it
steady for the past twelve years."
"How long oft and on have you
worked at it?"
"Sixty-five years."
"How old are you?"
"Sixty-five."
"Then you have been a tin-roofer
from birth?"
"No, Bir; of course I haven't."
"Then why do you say that you
have worked at your trade sixty-flva
years?"
"Because you asked how long off
and on I had worked at it I bava
worked at it off and on sixty-five years
twenty years on and forty-five off."
Here there was a roar In the court

witness, and his inqulBltor hurriedly;

chotlc profusion ot ornamentation to
real harmony are always sure of their
reward In the admiration of the truly;

One of the newest and prettiest hata
of the season is made in straw, and
trimmed with large bows of quaint old
world glace ribbon, with clusters of
roses upon a dull pink background.
The trimming In front consists of a
large bow of fine cream lace, and a
pale green Paradise osprey. The hat
has a very becoming brim, which la
waved all around. The seuAon af
fords few prattler designs.
A prominent feature of the hats
made of fancy-colored straw is the
facing of plain black crepe de chine,
or the plaited facing of black silk net.
In many cases it is finished off at tha
edge of the brim with a narrow jet
cord. Every other hat or toque of
gauzy material la trimmed with soma
port of large Jet ornament. This takes
the shape of a jetted wing, a dragon
fly or a butterfly.
Of all flowers, roses Just now prom

hold their own, but they are used in
a highly conventionalized shape and
eccentric tints. Poppies are quite a
favorite with many, who wear them la

colors, frequently replace the rose. Of

Nearly all colors used thia season

fancy straws are used, such as cocoa

Is popular among the plain braids, and
the Milan straw la also a favorite. The

The toque Is fully as popular as ever.
The one here shown is composed of
elaborately beautiful fancy straw, of
