Tho llrst case on the docket nt the race

four t'utriuaoj well bred volts and fillies, as

tho natural impatience of the waiting crowd.

John llalioy, of lluiso City, who U suie not to

y tho eyes of an eager crowd, and with a
continual cheer as ouo Iioimi or another got
the lead. Kick of our renorter' cillerv were
a bunch of Salvm gamlus, aliout tho age of the
rider, for this was a raco where colUwcrv
riddeii bv volts, and "Joliunv" was tho sub-
joctof all their solicittude, " Joluuiy is gain

"Johnny is ahead!" was the cry as lkvakett's
Albtito shot under the itriug, dio follow 0.1
by Miller's Oraoo IiutMey, with Colenun
third; time 1&7. The liovs Wlilud us were
excited over 'tho fact that Johnny Starr rodo
the winning colt, and one of them caught his
breath long enough to chip iu, "Joliuny Ii my
brother."
lkukett is ono of our veterans anions horse
brooders, and had a host of friend who were
glad at his success, for tho memory of man
scarcely runs back to tho time when ho has
taken first money, and no man has been mora
punctual in attending and entering his nags
than llaskett.
The colt Albtito is a likely horse, and does
credit to his breeding and training. Before
tho start, Ocncral Miller, who sat by me, said
Ilaskctt had a good colt, that ought to win,
though he hail two entries himself, and when
theru was talk of a "foul" coming down the
homo stretch, General Miller declined to make
any complaint in a race run by colts and rid
den by boys who didn't know how to mako a
foul If thoy triod. Many congratulated lias
kott on his colt's performance.
The premium in this race was ?300, two
thirds of stake) second horso, two-thirds of
balance) remainder to thinl horse.

Culture of Bsans.
Tho liean croji of our country Is an Impor
tant one, and tho industry reoiurwljii jta pro-
iiuciiini is uiguiy wormy oi encouragement.
As an aitlclu of food, fur man and best, thoy
contain nutriment in an exceptionally coucen
tratetl state, being nearly twico as nutritious
at wheat, ami four to I've times as much so as
buckw heat. Ilcans aro not as exhaustive to
tlio soil as many other crops. That they may
bo grown without any exhaustion of the soil
is not pietemletl, but I havo grown them, and
liavo seen them grown, on soil which would
not produce over ten or twelve bushels of rye,
with the samo expenco of culture, and still
yielding a greater numlier of bushels to tho
acre. Tho necessary culture of the crop ad
mirably fits tho soil for tho following one, es
pecially if it bo wheat. Like all other crops,
weeds aro its liano, and therefore clean cul
ture is essential, and the ncccssrry stirring of
tho soil exposes tho greater proportion to tha
action of thu sun and air.
As stated aliovc, lieans will grow ami pro
duce fairly on ioor soil, but are more rcinuno
rativr w hen grown or butter soil, but such soil
should havo lieen mado rich by previous cul
ture. Manuring this crop acts more for pro
longed and rank crow'th of plant ami foliaw.
than forgralu, Whereas the half-saturated soil
tends to gather friiitfiilness and earlier matii
rlty. Tho keeping of w ceils lu subjection is
much easier when thu plowing is ilono somo
wteks in advance of planting, and then, with
cultivation and harrow, destroying them as
they make their appearance, thus finding ami
lietter preparing thu soil for n crop. Harrow
ing or cultivating immediately More plant
ing puts the soil into fino condition to receive
tho seed, The proper tijiu for plautlng do
lends upon tho season, nj it is never safe to
plant till danger of frniU is past. They should

oud evenly covered, thu soil being compressed
over them. Like nil other crops, good seed
is of great importance; lata, grown seed usual-
ly giviai tho Uut satisfaction, and it should lie
from a crop which gruw inoro to seed than
vines.
As to variety I need not anr-Pivit n timl.-
ably there is not much ditlcrcnco in profit,
mile it lio from local circumstances. Metli
inns ami llluo Pods may lie ripened and taken
from tho ground in timo for wheat or other
winter crops; alo bringing good prices iu
market. Tlio largo needed varieties are more
uuceitain, and rvmiirea longer stwwn, The
cultivator should lio started as soon as practi
cable after they aro fairly out of ground, and,
whcrvvcTiiecxMsary.thehoo should lie used.
It is always liest to cultivate lieans when tho
follago is not wet. Cultivate sulllciently to
