beans, and then between each plant we 
planted one Lima bean (bush). In this 
way we have our berries for nest year 
and the string beans more than paid 
for the fertilizer and labor, while the 
Lima beans paid good ground rent and 
shaded the grass, so that when we 
pulled the beans out there was ncrgrass 
compared with the beds that were 
planted alone, and our stand seems as 
heavy as any other stand. The big dif¬ 
ference is one patch is paid for, while 
the Others will have to be charged up 
with fertilizer and labor when the crop 
is harvested next year. Intercropping 
is a wonderful scheme where one has a 
limited amount of ground. j. x.

Drag for Hauling Brush 
Now that, pruning time is here, I am 
sending you a .sketch of a brush drag of 
my own invention, which is the handiest 
way I know to get the brush from the 
orchard to the brush pile, to be burned 
later on. This is especially handy in an 
orchard of large trees, well spread, and 
where they are set fairly close together, 
for in loading this drag the work is very 
similar to piling the brush on the ground. 
It consists of A, which is an S-ft. round

Vine for Porch 
Which do you think would be prefer¬ 
able ns a vim- to shade a porch, the 
Evergreen bittersweet or Dutchman’s 
pipe? A quick-growing vine is desired to 
produce shade. o. b. t. 
Charlottesville. Va. 
The “Evergreen bittersweet” is an en¬ 
tirely distinct plant from our native 
bittersweet, Celastrus ecandens. It is a 
variety of Euonymus, botanically E. radi- 
cans vegetus, which clings to a wall like 
the English ivy. It is a very striking 
and beautiful plant, hut not what you 
want for covering a porch. On the 
foundation wall of a bouse, or the re¬ 
taining wall of a terrace, it is of great 
value. Dutchman’s pipe would be highly 
desirable for a porch ; it is rapid grow¬ 
ing. clean and hardy. Another very de¬ 
sirable vine for a porch is the Japanese 
Clematis, C. paniculate, which bears a 
mass of small fragrant white flowers in 
August and September.

Lima Beans for Intercropping Orchards 
After trying a number of vegetable 
crops in our orchards, we have about 
settled on Ford hook Bush Limas os the 
standby on our sandy soils. The cover 
crop of rye or whatever it may be is 
plowed under in early April, and the. soil 
thoroughly harrowed with spike-tooth or 
Acme harrow. Early in May the ground 
is marked out with a sled marker, making 
rows 2% ft. apart, and the seed is drilled 
in two to a place about 15 to IS in. apart. 
No fertilizer is used at planting time, as 
this so often interferes with germination. 
After beans are up they are harrowed so 
as to throw a little soil np to them. 
When they are beginning to send out 
rough leaves a combiued drill and harrow 
is run between the rows, ami fertilizer or 
tankage is put on as a side dressing, more 
soil being thrown up at the same time. 
At each cultivation thereafter a little 
soil is thrown up, and if this is done 
carefully there is no trouble from crab 
grass, and but very little hand hoeing 
necessary. 
The crop is usually gathered h.v Ital¬ 
ians. and is nearly always, profitable. 
Rye is sown at last cultivation of beans. 
There is a good crop of bean vines to 
hold the snows of Winter, and these, to¬ 
gether with the rye cover crop, put a 
good lot of vegetable matter in the soil 
for the benefit of the trees when plowed 
the following Spring. We usually have 
at least 10 acres of bush Lima beans, and 
for intercropping purposes feel it is 
pretty nearly an ideal crop.

Intercropping with Strawberries 
I noticed un article in Tiie R. N.-Y. 
about intercropping strawberries. The 
method was good, hut we think we can 
get a better stand by planting in the 
Spring, say about the last of March or 
the first of April. Plant the rows 4 ft 
apart, and each plant. 2 ft. apart in the 
row. After the berries were nicely 
started, we top-dressed with one ton 
of ground bone to the acre. Then be¬ 
tween the rows we planted early string
