The Culture of Beans.

To the Editor of the Examiner:

Srr,—Thinking that the agriculturalists of Prince Edward Island are too much given, for their own good, to cultivate crop after crop o oats and cereals, I beg to suggest that they might pay more attention to the raising of a pulse crop. The tick or horse bean is a mgst valuable and prolitic plant, both on account of the seed and also the stalk. It isa well known fact that there is not a more nutritious food for cattle, horses and swine. I can safely say that the stalk is greedily eaten by both cattle and horses, and they thrive upon it. I[t will keep (with the addition of straw) in_ good condition during our long winters. Thuis, | think, has been already proved by some of the few farmers that have raised this article in the Island. In the British Isles it is a well known fact that such is the case. I will now submit some suggestions as to the culture of the bean, etc.: The varieties usually cultivated are the horse or tick bean, and the Heligoland. It suc- ceeds best on a clayey or strong soil of good depth, but good crops may be obtained on land suitable for wheat. The bean should be sown as early in spring as the state of the land will admit. It is advisable to sow this crop in drills, with space between them suflicient to admit of horse hoeing; in this way two bushels of seed are sufficient for a statue acre. Its place in the rotation is after @ grain crop or other seed producing orup, and the preparation of the land consists in deep plowing as soon after the grain’ has been removed as convenient (at the same time covering in manure in pro- portion to the requirements of the land), and in harrowing, so as to mix the manure well with it and to pulverise the soil to a good depth; the seed may then be sown by a bean sowing machine or by hand, at about two feet drill trom drill, or shallow furrows may be opened by the plow, and the seed, being de- posited therein, is covered by the plow and the ridges rolled. Some prefer to form drills as for turnips, place the manure therein, and sow the beans upon the manure; excellent crops may be obtained in this way. Beans are sometimes sown broadcast on grass land, and then plowed down with a light furrow as iti formed by the plow.

The after culture of drilled beans consists of as many horse hoeings as are necessary effect- ually to keep down the weeds and maintain the se a loose state. The bean crop is at

times very liable to the attack of a species of green fly, which establishes itself in the summit or crown of

the plant, the only remedy is to have the tops cut off, whieh mtay be done by boys with areaping hook and carefully striking offa Sobte ot inches of the upper part of the plant. Beans are fit for being op as soon as the greater portion of the pods have assumed a dark color ; they aye tied in good-sized skeines and stooked ; and, when dry, carted and taken to the barn. But a much better plan is to stack them in an open shed or barrack, so that the air may ciaculate around them, in order that the beans, may harden and the haulm | keep perfectly dry. If subject to much wet lafter being cut, the quality of the straw and

!color, and market value of the seed, are much injured in this island. With fore cultiva- tion, as much as seventy bushels of tick beans per acre of land have been grown on this Island ; but I should think the average would be about forty. Now, this latter will give the farmer far better returns than he could realize from a grain crop. When farm-yard manure is scarce, sea-weed is an excellent substitute, and in most cases preferable to farm yard |manure, as far as the bean crop is concerned ;

crop has been, grown upon oughy

for workmanship and [ut shoud, it be used, the land igs t the bean

a \neatness, we must pronounce it almost su- to have an

additional dressing of farm yard Amanure or

other fertilizer before sowing grain.

Barley

and wheat almost always succeed upon land

that has borne a bean crop the prouviods year, particularly the latter. When sea-weed is used, the land ought to be in good heart and free from couch yrass and other weeds.

The principal use of beans on the farm is for feeding horses and pigs, for which they are very valuable. The haulm (or straw) when safely housed and cut into chaff, is much relished by horses, and would keep them both in good condition and up to their work. My practice has been, during the winter, to feed my horses on bean haulm, and not straw, cut into chaff, with the addition of a moderate feed of hay placed in their manger every night. ‘The bean haulm was fed to the cattle without being cut up.
