Crop Will Do Best on Warm,

Prepare by Plowing.

-Preparation of the aoil for beans
should commence prior to the season
in which the beans are grown, apd
should take into consideration proper
rotation and manuring. The soil
should be prepared by plowing. Wherever
fall plowing may be done wlth?
, out danger of serious fall blowing, the
soil should be plowed In the fall. In*j
the spring this land should be worked :
down into a seed bed, making as good !
a seed bed as would be made for j
beers or com. Where spring plowing j
Is done it shonld be done early.
r~? Preparing Seed Bed.
u Beans respond lo good preparation.
Consequently enough attention Should
be paid to disking, harrowing and!
compacting the seed bed. In some I
sections listing has been attempted as i
the method of preparing the soil for |
ocsn planting. Latins, however, is j
poor practice, except upon soils which
cannot he safely plowed because of
their very strong tendency to blow.
Where the land is prepared by listing
there Is a tendency' to slow up the
development of the crop and delay maturity.
In addition to these handicaps,
beans planted by the listing method
are more, difficult to harvest; especially
if there is damp weather during
the harvest there Is likely to be much
damage to the pods by coming in contact
With the yoil. The tendency to
pick up adobe soil or stones is Increased
at harvesting time. If listing
is done at (ill. it should be very shalk
low, so as to make the furrow to'be
| Ailed about the growing plants us shal^
low as possible.
Plow in the Fall.
It Is not always necessary to plow
lend in preparing a bean seed bed.
Where the land was well plowed the
year previous and in wheat, a good
seed bed may be prepared without
plowing, provided the wheat stubble
is disked right after the binder to
keep down weeds In the fall. The
spring preparation may consist of
disking when the weeds start, which
will destroy the weeds and prevent
the formation of a crust, add then
'tllsking and harrowing Immediately
before planting. After a cultivated
crop such- as corn,, which has been
well cultivated, a weed bed may often
be prepared by disking and harrowing.
On irrigated land* after sugar beets
?r potatoes, it Is not necessary to
plow in preparing a bean seed bed.
Disking. leveling and harrowing will
- be sufficient In these circumstances.?

Good Breeding Stock la
Beat Paying Investment
In support of Increasing evidence
that vreW-hred live stack pays a better
return on Investment than scrub stock,
o Masearhueetts dairyman notified the
' United States Department of Agrlcnltnre
of his experience. He ptirrhaaed
a pare bred heifer hred to an excellent
no re bred hull of the sane breed. The
heifer cost $800. He-sold the first boll
ratf for $800, and the second one for

iDI cow lias made very creditable
milk and butterffit records in the
the ir.eantljpe, qualifying for the advanced
register. '' .
"I tlduk this stock," the fanner
stales m conclusion, "shows the value
of getting good pore bred stock tor a =
foundation. Even after making the
deduction for feed and labor, there la
a much larger return than from a
grade."
Dry Place for Honey a
Honey does not deteriorate in qual- ^
Ity If It is properly cared for after
removal from the hive. It should
never kept In a damp place. Put-II
where salt would remain dry all the
time. This should be the rule, and
no departure should ever be made
from It. It Is the nature of honey to
take up water, and If allowed to remain
In a damp place the capplngs
vrlII soon begin to "weep" and it will
not be long till Its quality Is Injured.
Coat of Pure Bred Stock
Pure bred stock; can be grown fot [
almost the same cost as common
stock. When coupled with skill In
breeding and real salesmanship In
marketing, choice animals bring large
sums?especially after they have won'
a few blue ribbons. On the open mar-1
kets for meat, milk or wool, the well j
bred animal makes a better showing)
for feed and care than the mongrel,!
and pays vastly bigger dividends In
pride.
Destroy Weed Seeds
Thoroughly raking the garden and
burning will do much to destroy weed!
seed and thus.lighten the hard work!
of weeding in the hot summer months i
Muny weed seeds will lie in the soil
twenty to thirty years and then grow,
but most of them will germinate undei j
Intensive preparation and cultivation j

more than nil else to help rid the gar

Arrangement of Shrubs
Mere Important than even the fl^w- j
ering qualities of shrub* -is their up- |
rongeiuent. In other .words, planning j
to plant Is the most essential?the
beauty of our yards depends entirely 1
upon It. and Is almost as Important
as the planning out of a house. 1
By making a plan of the lot it Is j
possible to make It into "outdoor i
living-rooms." with interesting vistas :]
and at the same time made convenient 1
to the existing conditions.
No lot Is too small to have nature
express herself beautifully under
man-made, limited surroundings. I
tt> choosing shrubs for all-around |
purposes, probably the border plant I
ing of the lot would be most in com- |
nion for every home. The rear yard
generally tins the greatest opportunity
and the more massive and taller- I
growing varieties of shrubs sliouid be j
considered. *
