the bean will be above ground, but no weed
This may be cultivated With single horse at
small-tooth cultiyator; bus in most cases. on
a few weeds will ncod cutting out, and this
quickly done With sharp hoe. In few weel
the whole surface will be 10 shaded with tn
bean that no weeds will intrude their unpleasant
appearance.
One thing must not be forgotten, and that il
that the crop must not be disturbed when til
| dew is on, or when wet with rain. as TINT vi
hurt the Leaves. Gardeners understand this, I
1t ie q rule the reverse Of that in tho culture 9

The next thing OF importance is to grow
HAND-P1CKED REAEs,-
that is, d crop that contninB no defective beans
| otherwise tho bean must be hand picked tina
is. the defective beans must be thrown out
This savos the cook from picking over beans
! and it Is these that command tbs highest market
prico. After the crop ls grown, it must b.
| cured, for beans just 1,poued are liable to molt
| il exposed to dampnoss. For this reason the,
must be thoroughly cured before being stoEet
or sent to market. A neIGhbor had aome Il
bushels OF very nice beans that he supposed
! we'll cured, and they were put in sacks ready fo
market but the hauling to market was delayed
some two or three weeks. He had sold them tt
q dasler in Chicago BY sample at the time oI
th,eshing; but whom the dealer opened tho
| sacks, tile whole crop was found to be ruined by
light mold, md proved an entire loss. They
were not thoi oughly cured bafors threshing, a.
they should have been.
When the crop is ready to pull, number OF
stakes about feet long will BE- required. One
