Uaaa Beans.
A correspondent of the Practical
Farmer gives eome particulars about
the raising of a large crop ot Lima
beans by a Pennsylvania farmer:
The ground was a low piece which is
frequently oveiflown from a creek close
by. It was manured broadcast with
stable manure and plowed in. No ma
nure of any kind was used in the hills.
Hills planted four feet apart each way,
with lour beans to each hill, were made
on the level surface and covered one
inch detp. Planted May 10, worked
aad Kept clean with horse and cultiva
tor; poles not put in till runners of
beans were 12 to 18 inches long. No
pinchine process practiced, they being
allowed to run at will, and made a very
large growth, completely covering the
poles, and running from one to an
other. "When the frost came and killed
the viBes, they were loaded down with
beans quarter grown. The beans were
not started in a hot-bed at all, and not
soaked previous to planting.

Trenching is still practiced in Eng
land, bat in this country it has gone
mostly out of fashion. The subsoil
plow pulverizes the soil so much more
cheaply than can be done by hand tnat
it will always retain the preference
where labor is as dear as here. Trench
ing, however, admits the manuring of
the subsoil, which subsoil plowing can
not well do. Trenching orchard ground
is found particularly beneficial where
manure is digged in about the roots.
Mr. Dancer, of Chiswick, England,
practices trenching in orchards exten
sively, and grows great crops of fine
fruits. Fresh-feeding rootlets start from
the old roots where cut off, and, finding
well manured soil, supply the tree with
abundance of food. It is always im
portant, where roots of trees are to be
pruned, that it be done while there is
least activity in spring, before buds
well, or in fall after the leaves have
fallen. Orchbrds plowed in mid-summer
receive a severe check which the roots
do not easily recover from, while in
early spring plowing may be done with
out injury, and, if the soil is sufficiently
neb, with positive benefit to the tree.
It is better not to plow fresh manure
under in immediate contact with the
roots. Its fermentation might cause
fungus and disease to attack the tree.
The better plan is to spread manure on
the surface in fall or winter, and let
snows and rains carry its fertilizing

The editor ot the New England Farm
r sums up his conclusions in regard to
steaming food as follows:
If one has considerable quantities of
coarse or inferior fodder to work up,
and wising to mako up for Jtg j,,
by the use of grain, and if the principal
object is selling milk by measure with
out special regard to quality, and if the
number of cows kept is large, say
twenty or more, and one expects these
conditions to exist several years, it will
Py to purchase a good steam boiler
nd cook the feed for the cows; but if
-the number of animals is small, the
quality of the very best, as when the
object of feeding is anything but making
milk for market, he had better make
his stables as warm and comfortable as
possible, and feed bis hay whole and
raw, rather than incur the expense and
extra labor necessary for steaming food.
"We also believe that many who have
dopted steaming and have, at the same
to, made their brans warm and com
fortable by tighter covering, or by the
fire from the furnace, or by both, and
have also warmed the water drank by
the cows, would find it not a little puz
xling to decide just now how much of
the improvement in the condition of the
animals, the increase in the amount of
xailk and the saving of fodder is due to
teaming or cooking the food, and how
samch to the general imirovement in th
can sad management of the animals

JjUellea Beefsteak.
The art of cooking steak depends on a
good clear fire, and turning very often;
the aaoment it is seared oa one aide, turn
it aad tear the other, to prevent the es
cape of the juice. The first thing nec
eesai7 will be skill in the management
of the ire. You must have a good,
bright fire, topped witk charcoal; if you
.camaotftet that, use coke; an intense
heat, without smoke, is abedutely nec
eaeary to cook a steak to perfection.
Boudtteak requires hard beating with
a peeato pestle, or wooden steak-beater.

tears the meat, and lets the juice escape.
The gridiron should be perfectly clean,
heated very hot, and the bars rubbed
with beef suet, to prevent the steak ad
hering to them. Use beef-tongs, as
pricking wfth a fork lets out the juice,
and turn very often; slow cooking and
much cooking spoils a steak. Put a
lump of butter the size of an egg, a
teaspoonfui of salt, and one-fourth a
teaspoonful of pepper, into a lor, flat
tin pan. When the steak is cooked, put
it into the pan; double it over and press
it very bard with a knife, to get out all
the juice you can; turn, double and pres3
It every way. Lay the steak on your
meat plate; put the tin pan, with the
juice, butter, pepper and salt, on the top
of the stove, and stir it all the time un
til it boils up and commences to thicken ;
then pour it over the steak, and serve
immediately. At the famous Beefsteak
Club of London, each guest takes the
half of a small raw onion on his fork,
and rubs it well over his empty plate
before being helped to steak. In Scot
land, butter is never put on steak; they
use a large lump of beef suet on a fork,
which is rubbed well over the steak
every time it is turned. They claim that
the constant turning, and coating over
with suet, retains all the juices within
the meat. When cooked it is sprinkled
with pepper and salt.
Celtl ration of Broom Corn.
A writer in the Practical Farmer gives
the following plain and practical direc
tions for the cultivation ot this crop, as
the result of fifteen years1 experience:
Broom corn seed should be planted in
the spring, about the same time as In
dian corn, on ground that has been
thoroughly pulverized with the harrow.
Corn stubble or clover sod is one of the
best places for a crop of broom corn.
Let the rows be marked out three and a
half feet apart, after which sprinkle the
seed in the marks as evenly as may be
practicable by the hand. A better way
is to use a common garden drill. Cover
the seed by passing a light one-borse
harrow over the ground, going twice to
the row if the land is cloddy. Do not
cover the seed too deep. After the
spears are up about two inches high, go
over the rows with a large harrow. Do
not be afraid of tearing up the young
plants, as the greatest mistake with most
people consists in planting too thick;
the stalks should be three or four inches
apart in the row. Two and a half quarts
ot good seed will be sufficient for one
acre, if the ground is in good order. By
harrowing the small weeds will be
killed, and the working of the soil will
give the corn a start, after which the
growing crop will require the same cul
tivating as other corn. When the stalks
begin to shoot out in head, go over the
the field, bending down all that are out
before the tops get crooked. This oper
ation will have to be done several times.
After the seed is nearly ripe, commence
cutting the brush. First cut the brush
from two rows, then go back, and with
a corn cutter cut the stalks, laying them
crosswise on the rows, so as to make a
bed to keep the brush from resting on
the ground; lay the brush on. this bed
and let it remain two or three days in
the sun, after which tie the brush up in
bundles, and secure in round shocks,
ten or twelve bundles together. One
bed will hold the brush for eight or ten
rows. Cover the shocks with stalks,
tent fashion, making covering tight at
the top, but so that the air can pass
through the bottom. In this manner
the broom corn ought te stand three or
four weeks until thoroughly dry ; then
cart to the barn and take off the seed
which may be performed by using a
common threshing machine; takeoff the
top, and, if undershot, cross the band;
have a boy to hand you the brush, as
much as you can hold tightly in your
hands at once, holding the seed ends on
the cylinder as it revolves. In this way
one man and a boy can clean several
hundred pounds per day. Much de
pends upon the kind of soil in raising
broom corn. Flat loamy lands will yield
the best crops. But paying crops of
broom corn can be raised on any good
corn land that will yield from 700 to
1,000 pounds and 40 bushels of seed to
the acre.
There are several varieties of broom
corn. The improved evergreen is much
more profitable, as the brush is worth
almost twice as much in the market, and
the yield of seed will be larger and bet
ter than the crop of the old red variety
of broom corn.
A Truthful Sketch.
Let a man fail in business, what an
effect it Ihas on his former credit
ors! Men who have taken him by tke
arm, laughed and chatted with him by
the hour, shrug their shoulders, and pass
on with, a cold, "How do you do!"
Every trifle of a bill is hunted up and
presented that would not have seen the
light for months to come, but for the
misfortunes ot the debtor. Hit is paid,
well and-good ; if not, the scowl of the
sheriff, perhaps, meets him at the coraer.
A man that has never failed knows but
little of human nature.
In prosperity he sails along gently,
wafted by favorite smiles and kind
words from everybody. He pride? him
self upon his name and spotless charac
ter, and makes his bout that he has not
an enemy in the world. Alas I the
change. He looks at the world in a dif
ferent light when reverses come upon
him. He reads suspicion on every brow.
He hardly knows how to move or to do
this thing or tne other; there are spies
about him, a writ is ready for his back.
To know what kind of stuff the world is
made of, a person must be unfortunate,
and stop paying once in a lite-time. It
he has kind friends they are made man
ifest. A failure is a moral sieve it
brings oat the wheat aad shows the chaff.
A maa. thus learns that words aad pre
tended good will are not, aad do mot
coaetJtnte real friendship.

A N evada sheep man, who had tried

A bright little three-year old in Hart
ford, having become a little mixed be

A little boy said to his mother the
other morning: "Ma, I had the beauti

out of it easy, though?"
In England they tell how Sankey
walked up to a grenadier, and, taking
him affectionately by the belt, said:
"Young man, I likewise am a soldier,
a soldier of Heaven." "Old 'un," re
turned the grenadier, "you're a long
way from your barracks, anyhow."
It was a Cheyenne small boy who was

A fellow was doubting whether or not
he should volunteer to fight. One of

Just put it 'Victory or Crippled,' and I'll

A North Carolina negro thought he
could outrun a locomotive, the other
day, on the Air Line Road, and when he
picked himself up, after being thrown
twenty feet, and landing on his head,
he said: "Yer don't ketch dis yer chile
doin that agin. It's a right smart won
der I didn't tear dese britches clean off."
A Southbridge man, "tightly slight,"
came in contact with a tree. As quick
as thought he raised his bat, begged par
don, and passed on. Three other trees
having met him in this unceremonious
manner, he doffed his chapeau, and,
placing it under his arm, backed up
against the fence in apparent medita
tion. A friend passing at the time in
quired what he was doing. He replied,
"I am waiting for the procession to

Rebeson, the jolly mariner ot Grant's

Dr. Schenck's Standard Rrmedles. The
standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are Schkxck's Pulmonic Strut, Sciixxck's ba
Weed Ton'c, and Bchkmck'b Mandbakk Prm,
and If taken before the lungs are destroyed, a
speedy cure Is effected. To these three medi
cines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes
his unrivalled success in the treatment of pul
monary diseases. The Pulmonic Syrnp ripens
the morbid matter in the lungs: nature throws it
off by an easy expectoration, for when the phlegm
or matter Is ripe, a slight couch will throw it off,
the patient has rest and the lunss begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Svr"p to do this,
Hchenck'e Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Bca
Weed Tonic muet be freely nsed to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills
act on the liver, removing all obtructioiis, relax
Ihe gall Madder, the bile stsrts freelv, and the
liver Is soon relieved. Schenck's Sea Wied Tonic
is a gentle stimulant ami alterative, the nlkali of
which it is composed mixes with the fod and
prevents snring. It assists the digestion by
toning up the stomach to a healthy rondition, so
that the food and the Pulmonic Syrnp will make
good blood; then the lungs heat, and the patient
will surely get wcl' if care is taken to prevent
iresh cola. All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck,
either personally or by letter, ctn do so at his
princlptl office, corner of Sixth and Arch streets,
Philadelphia, every Monday. Schenck's medi
cines sre sold br all druggists throughout the

BEST EVIDENCE.
The following letter from Kev. K. S. Best, pas
tor M E. Church, Xatlck Mass., will De read
with interest by many pbysicUns. Also thoc
suffering from the same disease as afflicted the
son of the Rev. B. S. Best. Xo Derson can
doubt this testimony, and there 1 nodoubt about
the carativ powers of VEGETIKE:
Jf stick, Mass.. Jan. 1, 1S74.
Mr. H. R. Stevens: Dear Sli We have good
reason for regarding your VEGET1NE a medi
cine o! the greatest value. We feel assured that
it has been the means of saving our son's life.
Uc Is now seventc-n years of age: lor the last two
years he has suffen-d from Necrosis oi the Leg,
caused by scrolulous affection, and was so far
reduced that nearly all who saw him thought his
recovery impossible. A council of able physi
cians could give us but the faintest hope ot his
ever rallying, two of the number declaring that
be was beyond the reach of human remedies,
that even amputetion could not eaie him. as he
had not vigor enough to endure the operation.
Just then we commenced giving him V(!E
T1NE, and from that time to the present he has
been continuously improving. He has lately re
sumed his studies, thrown away his crutches and
cane, and walks about cheerfully and strung.
Though there is still somo dlecharge from the
the opening where the limb was laaced, wo hae
the fullest confidence that in a l:ttle time he will
be perfectly cured.
lie has taken about three dozen bottles of
VEGETINE, but lately uses but little, an he de
clares that be is too well to be taking medicine.
Rcspcctrully yours, E. 8. BEST.
