TIio English Coal Fields.
The English coal Gelds have just been
gauged by a scientific commission, and
with a somewhat startling result. Il
eeems there is a supply which may last
1270 years, and may give out in 27C
years. The great discrepancy between
the two estimates results from the great
uncertainty which of uecessity exists as
to some of the conditions of the problem.
First, it is not certain how much coal there
is under the British islands, though the
available supply is estimated by the
treo'.oists at 146,430 million tons.
Secondly, it is uot certain how deep future
generations will be able to work. As the
temperature of the air in the mines is
about 50 degrees at the depth of fifty
feet, and increa?es at the rate of one
degree for every sixty feet of additional
depth, it is easily calculated that at the
depth of about 3,000 feet it would be 100
degrees. Deeper than this, it would
hardly be practicable to work, unless with
better methods of cooling the mines than
are now in use. With such improved
methods it is thought that mines might
be worked to a depth of 4,000 feet.
Thirdly, the rate of increase of the con
sumption ofcoal is uncertain. For domestic
purposes alone it is computed that the
English people are now using about one
ton a year per head ; and the quantity de
voured by the myriads of steam engines
is continually increasing. At the present
rate of consumption, 1270 years is the
estimated duration of the supply at the
present rate of incrcrse of consumption
270 years. What the actual intermediate
figure will be, it is impossible at present
to say. Perhays in four or five hundred
years England may be obliged to retire
from the manufacturing business unless
in the mean time she learns to drive her
mills by he heat of the suu, or the force
of the winds and tides. At any rate it is
interesting to see a great nation gravely
calculating the period of her own proba
ble death, and considering the means o.'
delaying it.
Beans as a Field Crop.
A number of correspondents have ask
cd for information relating to the cultiva
lion of beans as a field crop, or for seed,
including soil adapted to the crop,
varieties, time of planting, etc. We shall
treat briefly, from this standpoint ; since
if wanted for family use, either green or
dry the difference in cultivation will be
obvious. The chief expense will be found
to be in pulling, the planting and cultiva
tion being exceedingly simple; but the
clanger of loss through rainy weather, at
harvest time, is often another difficulty to
the grower.
Beans for field culture should be sown
in drills two feet apart, at the rate of one
to one and a half bushels per acre. Sow
in the spring, on dry, mellow soil, about
the time that field corn is two or three
iuches high, or after the soil is thorough
ly warn, and all the danger of frost is
over. A double shovel plow is one of the
best implements to cultivate with during
the early growth. Just before, or about
the time of blossoming, finish with the
t-itigle shovel, leaving the furrow in the
middle between the rows. Y heo thorough
o
ly ripe, pull them, keeping them grasped
in the baud, next the root, until you have
a handful. Set them on the tops, in wiud
rows, squeezing the root together, and
secure the crop, if possible, without rain.
The great difficulty with beans i3 to
keep them bright after pulling ; and if
accomplished, it save3 the expense of
future hand picking. Many persons
etack them thinly around rough poles,
with spurs projecting to keep them off
the ground. Place the roots next the
poles, with the tops slantiog downward
as much as possible. Fasten, and cap
the top with fclough hay, to keep off the
rain ; and when thoroughly dry, remove
to the barn, and mow them away; or, if
threshed immediately, spread thinly and
turn occasionally, until entirely hard and
dry. If packed in barrels or sacks before
they are thoroughly seasoned, they wilJ
be liable to mold or become discolored.
The cultvation of bean3 may also in
clude the sort usually grown for market
ing green, or as they are termed, string
beans The cultivation of these varieties
is-exactly like that of the white sorts, and
the curing is precisely the same; pole
beans, however, are planted 10 hills three
and one half feet apart, and supported
with proper poles. In this case labor is
uecessary, since it is difficult to gei
through them with a horse. The sort,
usually grown for bush striog beans are
Red eyed China, Valentine, Long Yellow
Six Weeks, Hound lellow Six Weeks
and Early Rachel. Good varieties of pole
beans are Case Knife, Indian Chief, Saber
or Cimeter and White Cranberry. The
list of varieties of garden beans cultiva
tion is large, and includes Dalichos, 01
asparagus beans, and Phaseolus, or Lima
beans, Scarlet runners, etc. The White
Navy bean is the sort usually grown f r
shipment, but the White Marrow if
superior for family use; but beans are at
best a crop subject to many risks.
