Two or three acres of common bush beans Is not too lnrse a crop for the ordinary farm, and if au acre or even half au acre of pole lima beans can be added the results will lie worth while. While the bean crop seldom falls, caution is ueoded In planting nmt fer tilizing. The ground must be warm at the outset.

The recall election which was hold there Monday of this week was 2le. outgrowth of n old poliitical fight. That there was a man shot, and a great amount of bitter feeling in the campaign is but incidental, Wheeler county is county a where politics is a serious matter. Editor Jolly of the Cresent News and Editor Short ot the Bend Press, are waging a verbal battle over something, the public are at sea to locate just what. They will no doubt have a Jolly time, yet we hope they make Short work of it. The open seasonjjfor deer opened on August 15 this year, and a num ber of Prineville people are in the woods. Here is good luck to them, and hopes that their names will not be on the list of wounded at the end of the season. During the next thirty days the schools will open, the autumn will be upon us, and many will wonder what was done with last Summer's vages. furrows. The two varieties will thrive with simple methods of planting. When growing the pole lima make a furrow three or four inches deep, scatter ln it fertilizers and mix these with the soil, level and firm well; then over It make a mark one or two inches deep and ln this press the beans, eye down, one or two inches apart Pat about half an Inch of soil over tbem and firm well Set posts over the row and fasten six foot wire netting to them. To this the vines are trained as they grow, but are cut off when they reach the top. Judicious pruning Is necessary to make them bear well and produce large pods. If poles are easily obtained I have no objection to using them) except that the vines require more attention than when trained on trellises. People have nsed outside row of corn for a sup port and also sunflowers, but for the main crop wire netting Is most satis factory. , A considerable quantity of green string beans can be put np by the farm family ln a simple canning out fit The bean is most valuable for canning purposes when the tiny seed has Just started to form. Unlike peas, It Is the tender pod which is valuable for canning. It Is the aim of expert growers to get a uniform, tender, sap py growth of beans, and hence the plant food used should be carefully balanced. Beans must be picked while they are tender and young, before they become stringy. There is compara tively little labor in canning, and prices are on a profitable basis.

U KXAMPL OF FIRM BLIGHT. to bring about rapid growth ln well tilled orchards, and there Is still dan ger of much damage from the blight A representative of the Xew York Stute College of Agriculture at Cornell recently visited many orchards In the state and reports only a small amount of blight He therefore urges the fruit growers of the state to make a united and persistent effort to eradicate blight from their orchards while it is com purativcly a simple proposition. The orchards should be inspected twice weekly for traces of blight Any blighted twigs should lie cut off at once, making the cut at least six Inches below any signs of the diseased tissue. The pruned stub should be disinfected with corrosive solution made by dis solving one antiseptic tablet, obtaina ble at any drug store. In a pint of wa ter. The solution should be carried In a glass container and the wounds swabbed liberally with It The biweekly Inspections should be started nt once and continued until the wood becomes hard again. It would also be a great advantage to sow the cover crop In penr and young apple orchard now, as this crop will help to check the growth and nt the same time ins-ire that the trees go Into winter la good condition. Cover Crop and Dry Weather. It is sometimes advisable to turn un der a cover crop earlier on account of the soil being in good condition, where as If put off for a few days or a week dry weather might prevent the work being done as it should be. When the land Is to be planted to cotton It will be necessary to torn the cover crop under earlier, regardless of the stage of growth. This will allow a few day for the land to settle and to be gotten In proper condition for a good seed bed. The plow should be followed closely with the barrow, to pulverize the sod before the wind and sunshine dry It eut Do You Know You can buy a new 16-size ELGIN WATCH FOR $5.50 At My Place!

Good seed Is an Important matter with the gardener as well as the farm er. It never pays to buy cheap seed. Experiments were carried on a year or two ago by the Pennsylvania Experi ment station with some ten or more strains of cabbage seed of the same varieties from different firms. They found variations of yield from five to ten or fifteen tons an acre, according to the strain of seed. The seed of the highest quality meant several dollars more to the acre In net returns, even if it did cost a few cents more a pound. BARB WIRE INJURIES. 2 During the pasture season horse are frequently injured on barb wire. Thes Injuries require careful attention. Dr. 8. Alexander of Wisconsin gives the following suggestions for the treat ment of barb wire cats: "After a barb wire accident to not apply axle grease or any rancid oint ment to the wound. Wash the wound thoroughly with warm water. Then clip the hair close as possible around It and wash again to remove any hair or other foreign substance. When sand or hair has lodged ln the depths of a deep cut never use a wet sponge to clean it out Use a piece of absorbent cotton or cotton batting. There will be much less risk of In fection. It will b useless to put stitches In a wound that is very deep or ragged. 'V- that is located In a place not ln per fect rest when the animal is making natural movements. "Dry dusting powder has a healing effect on barb wire wounds and other large, moist cuts and abrasions. Such a powder may be prewired cheaply by mixing together equal parts of slaked lime, sulphur and charcoal. "Prevent lockjaw dangers in nail wounds of the hoof by opening them up freely, which provides drainage for serum and pus. Saturate with a so lution of convolve sublimate and wa ter ln the proportion of 1 to GOO. Cover with dusting powder, absorbent cotton and a bandage.
