That is true for n fact. He conics

When the company of volun¬
teers from Paoln, Knit., left for
San Francisco one day last week
there was the usual good-by scene
at the station, with some varia¬
tions. The boys lined up on the
platform, tho girls marchinu,
down the line and distributing
farewell kisses. Not until the os¬
cillatory process was all over,
however, was it discovered that
the entire Missouri Pacific freight
crow were lined up with the sol¬
diers, each railroader trying to
look sorry over his pretended de¬
parture, but really enjoying it
more than it clog tight. The file-
man was the only man who missed
a share of the kisses intended for
the soldiers, but the local papers
says that be made up for it after¬
wards.

Question.—I would like to know
sohtething more about vetches. Some
time ago 1 read your article on this sub*
joct, and as I wish to experiment a lib-
tie on this line I write to ask if it is
advisable to sow now, or would it be
best to wait until tall? If we can get a
certain crop that will give us green food
i n the late winter and early spring one
difficulty that the farmer has to
tend against will be overcome, and if
this can be done with a nitrogen iUe gath-
cH u K crop, which will at tho too
benefit the land, farming at tho south
w m bi^vo made a-long step forward.
Answfr . In tho « bcm states
vetches should bo sown in tho late sum-
mer or early fall. The hairy vetch is
preferred for our climate and should bo

Bean Rust.
attacked Question.—L ast year my beans wore
by a disease, which my neigh-
bors called beau rust. When 1 discov-
erod the trou-bie it was too late to pro-
vent t-he damage. It seemed to be more
on the pods than anywhere else, al-
though a large per cent of the leaves
eventually became affected. The little
round spots first appeared on the pods
when about half grown and the pods
turned dark and seemed to shrink uo
around those spots. Sometimes they
were pink and again rod. If there is
any way of preventing this I want to
ivgiu in time this year. What is the
disease > audis the *> aa V remedy?
