Threshing Navy Beans.

it is impossible to thresh beans so

pare those beans to a salable state,
but he succeeded in selling them all
with the exception OF ten bushels OF
screenings. He says; These screen
ings make excellent soup, but not

bids fair to be everlasting
Even a small per cent of split
beans would materially depreciate
the value OF the beans, and in order
to obtain the top prices they would
have to be hand-picked, and to pick
out those broken beans is something
more than to pick out the black and
damaged beans as is otherwise done.
