FLANT BEANS Eyes Down.—I haa always been taught to plant 
lima beans with the eyes down, stuck carefully by hand; but last 
summer, when planting my Burpee’s bush limas, it occurred to me 
to experiment. I had four rows fifteen rods long furrowed out and 
manured in the furrow, all precisely alike; two rows were stuck 
carefully by hand, eyes down; two rows were dropped the same as 
corn and covered with a hoe. The two rows that were stuck came 
up promptly, and all at once, making unbroken rows the length of 
the piece, with hardly a bean missing; the other two rows began to 
show a day or two later, a few at a time, and were about a week in 
getting up, and then were a ragged looking lot, there being many 
gaps. Then the cutworms got in their work, and the result was, 
those two rows were almost a failure, while the rows that were stuck 
throve and grew away from the worms,and madea good crop. I 
think we cannot be too careful about publishing premature resulis 
of experiments, as much harm may be done thereby.—Ex.
