m THE PLAINDEALER, McHENRY, ILL. Bearis W£% IGrc^ Will Do Best dri-W&rm, Bandy Loams and Silts-- Prepare by Plowing. Beans will grow on almost any ktatfl Of soil, from adobes to light sandy loams. They do best, however, on warm, sandy loams and sandy silts, preparation of the soil for beans •hould commence prior to the season tn which the beans are grown, and •bould take into consideration proper rotation and manuring. The soil o Should be prepared by plowing. Wberiever fall plowing may be done without danger of serious fall blowing, the •oil should be plowed In the fall. In the spring this land should be worked . down into a seed bed, making as good • seed bed as would be made for beets or corn. Where spring plowing ;oi* done It. should be done early. **„' Preparing Seed Bed. <Beans respond to good preparation. Consequently enough attention should be paid to disking, harrowing and compacting the seed bed. In some sections listing has been attempted as the method of preparing the soil for bean planting. Listing, however, Is poor practice, except upon soils which • cannot be 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, b^ans planted by the listing method «fe 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 soil. The tendency to pick up adobe soil or stones Is increased at harvesting time. If listing is done at all, It should be very shallow, so as to make the furrow to be filled abc the growing plants as shallow as possible. Plow in the Fall. It Is not always necessary to r,Qw land In preparing a bean seed bed. .Where the land was well plowed tha 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 tbe formation of a crust, and then disking and harrowing Immediately before planting. After a cultivated crop such as corn, which has been well cultivated, a seed bed may often be prepared by disking and harrowing. On Irrigated lands after sugar beets «f potatoes, it Is not necessary to plow In preparing i bean seed bedr Disking, leveling and harrowing wilt be sufficient In these circumstances.-- Alvin Kezer, Chief Agronomist, Colorado Agricultural College. Selling Inferior Stock to Purchase Pure Breds In connection with the "Better Sires --Better Stock" campaign conducted by the various states and the United States Department of Agriculture, many farmers are disposing of inferior live stock and are replacing them ^ith better bred animals. The reasons for the change are believed to be of interest to live stock owners throughout the country. A Texas dairyman who had been using a grade beef bull at the head of his dairy herd was readily Induced to obtain a pure breil dairy bull, to qualify in the better-sires campaign. A West Virginia stockman replaced a grade ram with a pure bred because the latter was a better Individual 'And he believed it would help him to dispose of surplus stock. A Vermont dairyman disposed of an Inferior pure bred bull because he was unable to obtain satisfactory production records and was "rather mediocre as an Individual." An Oklahoman, In qualifying for the better-sires campaign, stated that he disposed of a "red bull" of unknown breeding In order to purchase a pure bred. Show Pure Bred Stock * The breeder of pure bred live stock will Increase his business and profits materially if he will rtt and show a few good animals of bis own breedbreeding at a community, county or state fair. Showing this kind of stuff Is the cheapest and most effective way of getting prospective buyers Interested In the pure bred live 6tock one has to sell. These results are secured only when live stock is puroperly fitted and properly shown. Keep your show stock coming during the hot summer months by providing them a cool shady place during the day and a pasture during the night, together with an appetizing ration.

(Pnpattd kjr the United States Dep*rtm«»t OC Agriculture.) . . The percentage of diseases, partlcu- -larly rots and scald, found In apples in •torage and on the market depends, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, upon their whole past history; that is, upon the conditions under which they were grown and prepared for market, the amount of disease they showed when they were shipped or when they went into storage, and finally, upon the conditions under which they were held. In transit or In storage. The percentage of disease depends to a considerable extent, also, upon the length of time tbe apples have been kept In storage, those stored longest being the most Seriously affected. Inspection of the commercial apple crop over a fouryear period showed that the box crop •offered from a steady Increase In percentage of disease from October till June; the barrel crop only from December to June. An analysis of the records of the Inspection service for 5,222 cars inspected during the four-year period, 1817 to 1921, is published In Department Bulletin 1253, "Diseases of Apples on the Market." Considering the Inspections for the four-year period as a whole, blue-mold rot occurred more commonly than any other disease. In the box crop, scald was second and o^her rots third; in the barrel crop, other rots exclusive of black rot came second and black rot came third. Summer and fall varieties showed less disease, on the average, than winter or long-storage varieties. In the barrel crop the percentage of disease was less In cars from New York, Michigan, Virginia and West Virginia than In those from all other eastern states, considered as a whole. The percentage of disease in the box crop was slightly heavier in cars from Idaho than in those from all other western states, considered as a whole. A copy of this bulletin (Department Bulletin 1253) may be secured, as long as the supply lasts, from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Good Breeding Stock Is Best Paying Investment In support of increasing evidence that well-bred live stock pays a better return on Investment than scrub stork, A Massachusetts dairyman notified the Uinited States Department of Agriculture of his experience. He purchased a pure bred heifer bred to an excellent pure bred bull of the same breed. The heifer cost $800. He sold the first bull cslf for $300, and the second one for $400. The next calf, a heifer, sold for $125, and the milk produced by the cow during the 38 months covered by the ,report sold for $1,275. The total ln- 'come thus received totaled $2,100, and the farmer still owns the original animal. The cow has made very creditable milk and butterfat records in the the meantime, qualifying for the ad- »vanced register. ; "I think this shriek." tbe farmer plates in conclusion "shows the va!ue %f getting good pore br*d stock for a foundation. Even after making the deduction for feed and labor, there is C much larger return than from a Segregating the Sexes When chicks are eight weeks old, It is a good plan to separate the sexes. From the fancier's standpoint, the condition of the plumage will be better If the pullets are kept to themselves until mating time. Then, too, the cockerels are more active, they can digest and use a heavier diet than the pullets need. When the males are pastured out of sight of the females, they are more contented and make better use of their food. This is a big advantage. Good Hens to Keep Keep the hens that are healthy, vigorous, active, good eaters, with plump, bright-red combs; large, moist vents; thin, pliable pelvic bones spread well apart; a wide spread between pelvic bones and rear end of keel; neither molted nor molting In August large, soft, pliable abdomen; and or September. In breeds with yellow legs and skin the hens kept should also show pale or white legs and pale or white beaks and vents. Dry Place for Honey Honey does not deteriorate in qunl Ity if it is properly cared for after removal from the hive. It should never kept in a damp place. Put It where salt would remain dry ail 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 capping* will soon begin to "weep" and It will not be long till Its quality Is injured.

Before Lewis Longbeam battered his wife's face almost to a pulp and then asked the judge what he was going to do about It, wife-boating was commonplace. But when Judge Scott Bower answered Longbeam with: 'Tin going to sentence you to 15 lashes," the practice suddenly waned. Along with several others of tue blue laws, the whipping law still stands good on the Maryland statute books. It had seldom been Invoked, but Judgq Bower, glancing down the docket, noticed the growing number of wife-beating cases. He announced that the next case to come before him would be treated as of old. And Longbeam's case happened to be next 1 With a blackened, swollen eye and several teeth missing, Mary Longbeam looked on Interestedly as her husband was haled before the bar. But as the judge pronounced sentence, her manner changed. I wffs Would Wield Laatu ' Pressing her way to the front *>f the courtroom, she addressed the judge. "Let me lash him, Judge! I'll stand on my toes and cut the blood out of his back. Let me give him a dose of his own medicine. What chance has a frail woman against a brute like him? He slaps me as If I were a child. He throws me about like a chair. He beats me like a dog. Let me lash him, judge!" But the Maryland law provides specifically that the lashing be administered by the sheriff, so Mary Longbeam lost her chance to hand her husband a bit of his own medlicne. The Man Gasped and Grit His Teeth. Sheriff Duffey got out the old cato'- nlne-tails, with Its five rawhide thongs each split tn two. As Longbeam had been sentenced to 15 lashes, this meant 150 stinging cuts In his back. . Thousands Listen for Walls. Longbeam was taken to a vacant section of tbe jail, handcuffed to the bars of a cell, and the sheriff began bis punishment. Outside thousands waited, hushed, hoping to hear the screams of the wife-beater getting a dose of his own medicine. The cat-o'-nine-talls whistled through the air and Its ends bit Into the flesh of Longbeam's bared back. The man gasped and grit his teeth. After ten lashes the flesh shaded from a fiery red to a greenish blue. When the fifteenth lash cut In, It tore the flesh on his left shoulder blade and the blood trickled, down and soaked Into the white underclothes drawn back over his belt. Outside the jail gate his wife was waiting. As he came out she shook her flst in his face and cried: "You brute. I hope they gave it to you good. If enly they'd let me laah you I You'd never walked out of here. You'd have been carried." But, regardless of whether the lashing was severe enough to suit the beaten wife, wife beating has taken a decided slump in Hagerstown.

INFANTS STARVED TO DEATH FOR DOWRIES Eight Murders Charged f? Tokyo (japan) Couple* , Tokyo.--A crime that reads like one et Cynthia Stockley'8 African horrors and makes the story of Bluebeard mild by comparison has been discovered in a Tokyo auburb. Juklchl Tanaka, thirty-five years old, and hia wife, thlrty-on^ have been arrested on a charge of starving to death eight children whom they had adopted in consideration of dowries amounting to about $35 each. The crimes, covering three years, were discovered by the police when they were calld to investigate the rumor that the couple were starving two children whom they had recently adopted after receiving the dowries. When the officers rescued the children one was so weakened by hunger that he died and the other is being cared for by the authorities. According to the Japanese institution of adoption, parents who cannot afford to give their children the best opportunities may offer them to more affluent families who are childless or lucking in a male heir. It Is frequently customary for the family to pay a dowry to the family adopting the Child. The Tanaka family, represented themselves as being in prosperous circumstances.

Tortures Invalid to Secure His Property Berlin.--Diabolical cruelty Inflicted on a wealthy Invalid of seventy-five years by hia nurse to force him to make a will in ber favor has been discovered by the police in the Berlin subdrb at Weidmannslist The victim la a retired Jeweler named Schade, a widower, without relatives, who lived aa a recluse with a woman named Goldhelm acting as nurse and housekeeper. For two years Schade never left the house. A few days ago, however, the nurse was called away from Berlin, ind during her absence the old man was found on the pavement outside the house. He was filthy and emaciated, his mind was unhinged, and there was a gaping wound in the back of hia head. He had retained sufficient reason to see a chance of escape from hia prison, and had crawled through the window Into the street, where he collapsed from exhaustion. He was starving. The police forced their way Into the villa, where they found a small garret, In total darkness, containing a filthy, tumble-down bed and the remains of bread and water--probably the odly food the man had bees allowed for more than a year. Father Kills Baby Who Kept Him Awake Fredericksburg, Va.--Willis Franklin, a farmer, twenty-one years old, is in jail at Warsaw charged with the murder of his four-year-old baby. According to the police, he confessed that he wrapped the Infant In blankets and smothered It because Its cries kept him awake. He went back to sleep when the voice waa still, the police were told. Franklin, who lives In Richmond county, of which Warsaw 1s the seat, was arrested on complaint of two physicians to whom he had applied for a burial permit. The first refused the permit because he did not believe tbe child died of natural causes, as represented, and Franklin applied to the second. Their suspicions aroused, the physicians reported the case, and an inquest was held. Franklin was charged with smothering the tafattU He then told his story. « , 4Cities' Suicide Rate IStationary in 1923 New York.--The average suicide rate of 80 American cities for tbe year 1923 remained at 15.2 per 100.- 000 of population, the 1922 figure, the Spectator, an insurance journal, an- 'aounces. The paper pointed out that this reflected a nation-wide prosperity. San Diego continued to have the highest proportion of suicides among the cities considered, the rate there being 50.5. The Pacific coast generally, as In former years, had a high rate, the Journal said, while In cities of the lake region the rate was- low. Suicides were few in the coal and steel districts. The tendency toward suicide among (he well-to-do and more highly educated is more pronounced than In former years. Deaths from suicide in 1923 were reported as 3,827, as compared with 3,872 in 1922. A Babylonian account of the life of Noah, giving his age at 64,800 years, making the 969 years of Methuselah pale into 'Insignificance, forms the basis of a theory of Dr. Howard Chiera, professor of Assyriology at the University of Pennsylvania, designed to account for the extreme longevity of these characters in early history. In a paper submitted to tbe Crozer Theological seminary. Doctor Chiera tells of the recent discovery of a foursided prism in the Sumerian language, giving a list of tha kings who ruled In Babylonia from the creation to the tlnre of Hammurabi. The prism gives the names of eight kmgs who ruled In the 241,200 years (according to the Babylonians), preceding the flood. The prism is now at Oxford university, hut the comparison It makes with the lives of the Old Testament patriarchs Doctor Chiera believes "will help ua toward filling many gaps In the history of ancient Babylonia." The eight kings who ruled within a oerlod of 241,200 years is paralleled by another list, discovered, not long ago, according to Doctor Chiera, of ten kings whose rule covered 432,000 years. "Did the Babylonians really believe that their ancient heroes have lived for such Incredibly long periods of time?" Doctor Chiera asked. "They certainly did not. "Biit they knew that the world was much older than the date corresponding to 4000 B. C., which was the Hebrew figure. They had historical records going farther back than that date and they pushed the date of the creation as far back as they could. "But they did not have sufficient historical and traditional records to fill up a gap In their history which would extend Into hundreds of thousands of years. To nvoid confessing their ignorance of history they had either to Invent names for their supposed patriarchs or stretch the lives of the personages they knew, to make them cover the whole period. "They resorted to the latter alternative as the one which did tbe least violence to facts. Hence the eiceptlonal ldngevlty of the Babylonian heroes. "The Hebrews, of course, were confronted by a similar problem. However,- they were comparatively late arrivals on the scene. The history of their patriarchs begins with Hammurabi ; when Babylonian history was well past the legendary stage. Moreover, the Hebrews did not live among the ruins of the past which would remind them of the great age of human civilization. For their scanty traditions a date of 4000 B. C. for the creation of man was more than sufficient. "It was therefore necessary for them to multiply the average length of human life; and a multiplication of ten was more than sufllcient as witness the 009 years of Methuselah. "In doing so the Hebrews have probably followed the example of the Babylonians whose traditions they certainly must have known. Otherwise, we might have had a date for the creation of man much nearer to as than 4000 B. C."

If they did such a thing In this country ^he public could retaliate by writing all postal cards with postoffice pens. If you have ever tried to wield one of these literary implements you will gather at once \*hat we mean. The man who said the pen Is mightier than the sword, wasn't thinking of the kind they harbor in United States post offices. There Is only one thing more useless than a pos»t office pen. That Is the post office Ink. Someone wrote to a scientific magazine the other day to find out what becomes of the national crop of deceased files. They lie buried and mummified In the so-called Ink of a great nation's post offices. There they sleep their silent years away until someone comes along and tries to write a letter with them. The curse of the post office pen la creeping paralysis. The symptoms are plain. When you begin your communication you carefully trace the contour of the letters, but with no visible results. All the afflicted pen can do Is scream with pain in a dry, scratchy voice. Then, suddenly, as though striving to make amends for its prior infirmities, its muscles relax. Its foul, insanitary throat opens and it breaks loose in a .hemorrhage of mud, shoe polish, asphaltuia and aerated flies. Another national institution familiar to those of us who look after our coi* respondence in post office lobbies. Is the harveyized or Ink-proof blotter.
