A TENDEEIOOT'S EXPERIENCE.
Making a "Bean Hole" in a Washington Log
ging Camp A Greenhorn Makes an Amus
ing Mistake and Gets Laughed at by the
Old Time Lumbermen.
" My first experience at lumbering,''
said a certain prominent citizen the
other night, " was in making a bean
hole. Of course you don't know what
a bean hole is. No more did I when
I went up on Rum river in 1S68 and
applied for work in one of Wash
burne's camps, I neglected to tell
the boss that I didn't know the differ
ence between a gee haw and a cross
haul, and maybe he took me for an
all rounder at the business. Anyhow
I was hired offhand, and the next
morning the foreman said to me,
Weistling, you take Joe and Charlie
here and go over to the new camp
and chink up and build a bean hole.'
All right,' I said, as cheerful as could
be, and off we started.
" As soon as we'd got into the tim
ber I halted the boys and asked,
'What's this chink up the old man
wants ?' Toe looked at me pretty hard
and told me about tightening up be-1
tween the cabin and logs with clay.
'And what's a bean hole ?' I inquired.
But the boys seemed to be getting
pretty tired about something. You
see, they didn't like the idea ot being
put under such a greenhorn, and both
claimed they didn't know what a bean
hole was. So I told them to wait there
a minute, and I ran back to the fore
man and said, 'Look here, Mr. Cole,
how big do you want that bean hole ?'
Oh, 6 by 6 or 8 by 8,' he said. 'And
how deep do you want it ?' Three or
four feet,' he answered.
" Well, when we got to the new
camp we chinked the cabin all right,
and then I measured off a space 3
feet square, and we started to din 8
feet deep. I was going to carry out.
the boss' biggest figures to show wh.it
a good man I was. We dug all that
day and it was hard work, for the soil
was loose, and the sides of the hole
kept tumbling in on us. When we
got back to camp that evening t'ie
foreman asked me if I'd finished the
bean hole, and I told him not quite,
but we'll finish her up tomorrow. To
ward noon next day we were prttty
near through and we were smoothing
the bottom of the sepulcher when the
foreman showed up to examine pro
gress. I didn't notice, him till I heard
him roar, 'What the are you fellows
doing ? I looked up, and there Btood

Street.
the old man with mixture of astonish
ment and indignation on his face.
Then I knew something was wrong
I'd had my misgivings all along
but I answered us coolly as I could
that I was making a bean hole.
" A bean hole ?' he shouted, 'a
bean hole ? Well, you come out of
that bean hole quick, you blanked
bean hole idiot !' And then he began
to laugh, and I never heard a man
laugh like that before nor since. It
seemed as if lie never would get
through, and of course it sounded very
unpleasant to me. I soon learned
what bean hole is.
" You see they build a log inclosure
about 3 feet high and 5 or 6 feet
square and fill it with clay. In the
middle they sink a deep hole and
start a fire of maple sticks in it. When
there is a good bed of coals, they put
in a pot of beans and cover it over
with ashes and clay, and the beans
steam in theie till they are done and
make the best eating you ever got in
the woods. But the bean hole wound
me up in that camp. The story went
all through the woods and from the
head waters of Rum river to Anoka,
and there was so nvir.h snickering
whcivtr I went that I couldn't stand
it. Why, men came 10 and 15 miles
from other camps to get a squint at
the chap that built the bean hole. So,
though I didn't make ary more
specially bad breaks there, I pretty
soon called for my time and got out
of the country." South Bend

MAKING BIRCH OIL.
SIMPLE PROCESS USED IN THE
WILDS OF CONNECTICUT.
A very large quantity of birch oil is
manufactured in the wilds of Connec
ticut, and with a simplicity equalling
sugar making in the Vermont forests.
Birch twigs are cut into even lengths
of five inches, and thrown into water
tight tanks having copper bottoms 5 a
coil of steam pipes is arranged in the
bottom, and three feet of water pour
ed in, the tops are hermetically sealed,
steam turned on, and the water kept
boiling for six hours. Into the side
of each boiling tank a" steam pipe is
inserted and runs in the form of a
worm into a barrel of cold water, and
cold water is flowing continually into
this barrel ; the steam rising from the
boiling birch twigs passes through
this pipe and is condensed in the
worm, while the oil drops from the
end of the pipe into a small receiving
jar or pail. The oil as it drips down,
being a dull brown, in carefully clarifi
ed until of a very light green ; and,
instead of chemical processes, clarifi
cation is accomplished by simply
spreading a heavy woolen blanket
over the wood inside the tank. In a
proper kind of mill, however, the oil
now drops out pure and ready for
market ; one ton of birch yields four
pounds of oil, and the oil is worth $3
or more per pound.

WINTER OATS.
SOMKTTIINO NEW. lilfi YIELD.
U11 the tarm ot J. 1 . Welsh near
Orangcvil!c, a crop of winter oats has
just been threshed. Winter oats in
northern climate is a rare thing. Last
fall a bushel and a half of winter oats
was purchased and sowed about the
middle of October, as an experiment.
On account of the strong stooling
properties of this oats, the seed was
spread over nearly two acres. This
proved afterwards to be sown a little
too thin.
The yield was something over one
hundred bushels, which seems im
mense when the amount of seed is
considered.
By sowing ten days or two weeks
earlier this year, and sowing about a
bushel or a trille over to the acre it is
believed that a still greater success of
it can be made next year.
The seed will also have the advan
tage of having come from a crop that
has been through one severe winter.
It certainly ought to be acclimated.
This spring it seemed as if there were
nothing left of it; nothing showed
above ground when the snow went off.
A few days later it showed up better,
but still ran a narrow escape of being
plowed up and sown with summer
oats. When too late for summer oats
it was still gaining ground, but
was threatened with buck-wheat.
Finally it came out in head and thick
ened up remarkably, and proved a
great surprise to all who had been
watching the experiment. They weigh
nearly 40 lbs. to the bushel as they
come from the separator. This ex
periment may prove of great benefit
to the farmers of the north.
There are many points in their favor
and but few against. They can be
sown in fall, when wheat and rye are,
and thus relieve the ensuing spring
work of this pressure ; and this is a
great point gained should the opening
ot spring be late, These oats, sown
after corn or potatoes, cover and pro
tect what would otherwise be a nude
soil ; and the roots prevent washing of
the soil by rains. They furnish green
feed late in the fall, for they do better
to be pastured off than if not. There
is great gain in seed. These require
but three pecks to the acre, while
spring oats require a seeding of two
to three bushels. Winter oats "stool"
or tiller remarkably. Given room and
a fertile soil, single grains throw up
from ten to twenty stalks, which bear
large, well-filled heads. They have a
stiff straw, stand up well, and seem to
be much more productive than spring
oats. 1 hev come off in coon season
to plow and sow crimson clover for
fall pasturage, winter soil protection
and for a renovating crop to turn
down in the spring, spring oats are
to late for this. Winter oats, follow
ed by crimson clover, may become
one ot the fixed changes of our pro
gressive new agriculture.

The New York's Remarkable Record.
The New York, of the American
Line, though not the fastest, has the
best record for regularity of any o f
the Atlantic fleet. Her average time
has not varied for years, and she can
be expected almost on the minute
every voyage. She has crossed the
Atlantic more times and has carried
more passengers than any other
steamer of her age, and has been
more regular about it. The New
York made fourteen trips west bound
in 1893, with an average time of 6
days, 21 hours and 31 minutes. In
1894 she made fifteen trips west
bound, with an average of 6 days, 21
hours and 4; minutes. Her sailing
distance was 2770 miles. In 1893
she made thirteen trips east-bound,
with an average of 6 days, 20 hours
and 30 minutes, which was just one
minute faster than her west-bound
time that year. In 1894 she made
fifteen trips, with an average time of
6 days, 20 hours and 94 minutes.
Therefore in crossing the ocean 57
times in both directions, at all seasons
of the year, her widest variation for
two years was only 1 hour and 21
minutes. London Engineer.
