Oastor beans do not exhaust the fertility of the soll as corn and the small gralns do. Many farmers be- lleve that land is benefitted by raising a crop of castor beans on it. The ex- Fenn of seed is very small. No cost- ly machinery Is required for putting in, oultivating, harvesting, or prepar- ing the crop for market. All the work may be petformed by old men, women, and children, who can not do hard labor in the field. For theso reasons castor beans offer many ad- vantages to farmers of small means who live in a ocomparatively warm climate. The castor bean plant ia of tropical origin, and {is liable to be in- jured by frost in any of the states where cctton will not mature. An early frost will kill the young plants while a frost in the fall will injare the beans before they ripen. The plants are highly otn-mcnurmrl very showy. A few of them ralsed in the front yard or garden present a fine appearance, By ralsing a few for ornamental par- poses a farmer can learn their habits and be better prepared to cultivate them in & field. The ordinary yleld is from fifteen to twenty-five bushels per acre, With a view of introducing thetr cultivation in that state, the Bou 1 Oarolina department of agricul- ar publishes an essay on thelr cal- ture, which was prepared by C.

The soil et, heavy solls are not adapted to its successful cultare. The ground should be put in good con- dition for the eeed as for other crops. One thorough plowing and three or four harrowings with a heavy harrow will be a scfficlent preparation, Fall plowing is undoubtedly desirable, as it more fully exposes the particles of the goll to the ivfluence of the frosts and the atmorphere, thereby pulverizing it and preparing It better for the seed. Where a fall plowing has been be stowed upon the land, and another croes-plowing in the spring, thorough harrowing will put it in excellent con- ditlon for a heavy crop. If the eoll is inclined to be wet, 1t ehould be thrown e one to get him out of scrapes his other head had caused. t s twenty feet In width, and the dead . | furrcws between these lands should be kept open for drainage of all surface water. This 18 not more necessary for the castor bean than for many other farm crops where the land is inclined to ba wet, The ground is now lald off In rows five or six feet apart each way, except that between every sixth and seventh row a distance cf about eight feet i3 left between the rows one way to ad- mis a horse and wsgon or elide to pass to take the beans when gathered. Hot water, somewhat below the bolling point, ehould be poured over the seeds and they should remaln in this water twenty-four hours before being plant- ed. The temporature of the water will of course be gradually reduced to the temperature of the atmosphere. Applying the hot water once will be' sufticlent. It planted without this preparation they are a grest while in germinating, many of them not mak- ing their appearance for threa or four weeks, With, this proparation they will soon germinate and come up reg- ularly, Some farmers put in each hill one-half of those which have hot water poured over them and one-half of those whice have not, so that if the cut worms destroy the first that come up a stand may be obtained from the others, which will come up a week or two later, Good, sound, plump seed should be selected for planting, A half bushel will plant elght or ten acres, Eight or ten seed should be dropped In each Lill, Bat one, orat most two plants are to be leftin a hill, As the cut worm ls quite de strustive to the plant, this number of seed ls recommended, 50 a8 to be cer- tala of an even stand, OF coaree, re plantiug can be done but It {s better toavold it, if possible, by planting plenty of seed. Theseed should bo planted ae soon as all danger cf frost isover. Theplants are as easlly de- stroyed by frost as our common bean, and therefore planting ehould be de- layed until after the first of May. The cultivation conslsts in destroy- ing the weeds and grass and koeplng the soll open and mellow. These ob. ects are chiefly attained by uslng the horse and cultlvator, or amall plow, working between the rows both ways. It s also necessary to work among the plants with the hoe, golng over them two or three times, cutting the weeds away from the plants that cannot be reach with the plow or cultivator, and drawing a little mellow earth to the plante, gradually reduclog the number to one plant in the hill, though two are occaslonally left, One strong, ) r r husk hard, and make a fence around the by placlng boards up against rails lald on crotched sticks or posts; though the fence s not necessary it the yard 1s made large enough to leave = space outaide the beans cf twelve to fifteen feet, as many of the b2ans will pop that distance, and if the fence 1s not bullt, or the space left, many of the beans will be lost in the grass or field beyond the yard.
