SCAEDlNG HOGS.
Apparatus That Makes the Process
Easy and How to Use 1t.

EbphEaIuS hlt thc
Easy and How to Use 1t.
American Agriculturist describes
scalding pan or vat made with ~ inch
boards and galvanized iron, using for
the sides two pieces of boards about
feet long and II or 16 inches wide.
Have the lower corners slightly round
ed Secure a piece of galvanized iron
% to 80 inches wide and ~ or s feet
long. Nail the iron to the bottom of
the boards, allowing it to extend
around each end to the top.
To use this dig a trench in the
ground a little narrower than the pan,
or 3 feet longer and IS or 20 inches
deep Set the pan over this trench,
bank up on the sides with soil and put
in about six inches of water build a
fire under one end and allow the water
to heat. At one side of the vat build
a platform for scraping the hogs. Have
a couple of pins near the top of the
pan, over which put the ring of two
trace chains. Put the hog on the plat
form. Have one man take hold Of
both chains on the opposite side of the
vat. Roll the hog into the chain hold
err, letting it down into the water grad
ually, Standing astride the pan, each
taking hold of the ends of one chain,
two men will easily turn and scald
heavy hog in about half the time it can
be done in the barrel. The water can
be kept at the proper temperature by
adding more fuel or by adding cold
water when it is too hot. The trace
chains should be close enough together
to pass in front of the hind legs and
lust back of the front legs. When the
hog is scalded, he can be returned to
the platform by replacing the rings of
the chain on the pins and lifting on the
free end. -

THE BEAN CROP.
a Decline of Production Has Caused
Imports to Largely Increase.


Imports to Largely Increase.
From an interesting and suggestive
review by the government division of
statistics of the United States bean
crop it is learned that with reference to
weight the commercial bean crop of the
United States is more nearly compare
BILE to that of rice than to any other
domestic food crop. 1t is possible that
the rice crop just harvested will prove
to be the record crop of this country,
and commercial authorities estimate it
as high as 300,000,000 pounds. The
bean crop is somewhat more important;
for, excluding the important producing
state of New York, for which no recent
statistics are available, the production
of beans in the principal producing
states in 1886, the record year for
that crop, was also about 300,000,000
pounds. Moreover, the average annual
production of beans, exclusive of New
York, for the five calendar years 1895
to 1899 inclusive, has been about $780,
100000 pounds, exceeding the annual
average production of rice for the same
period by about S5,000,000 pounds. AS
in the case of rice, also the production
of beans is insufficient for the country's
needs. Excepting for a short period in
the past decade imports of beans and
peas have exceeded the exports by
quantities ranging from 100000 to So
100000 pounds annually.
Beans in great variety are produced
in a small way in gardens and truck
patches and for consumption in both
the green and dried state in nearly if
not all the states of the Union, but the
common dried beans of commerce, to
which the above statistics refer eXclu-
sively, are the product, as is the rice
crop, of comparatively small number
of states. AS is well known, the impor-
lance of dried beans as an article of
food in this country dates from the civ
il war.
The adoption of this vegetable by the
United States government as a part of
the army ration created for it an ex-
tensive demand, and upon the disband-
ment of the forces the use of this &C
customed article of diet naturally be-
came popularized throughout the coun-
try. Production on a large scale, how
ever, became localized in few states,
and at present Michigan, New York,
California and Wisconsin may be re-
garded, from a commercial point of
view at least, as the only important
producing states. Recent statistics Of
production, however, are also available
for the comparatively unimportant pro-
ducers, Minnesota and Illinois.
The production of beans reached its
maximum in each of the four states
given during the period from 1895 to
1897, and since 1897 production in each
state has steadily declined. The in
crease in production during this peri
cd resulted in an excess in 1897, for the
first time in the history of this trade,
of exports over imports, but the subse-
quent decrease in production has again
turned the tide, and imports for the
past two years have been in excess.

News md Notes.

The government statistician reports
0,674,O00 bales as the probable cotton
production of the United States in
19O1-02.
Commercial estimates of the area
sown to rice in 1901 in Texas range
from $4,000 to 10000 acres.
1t is stated that the manufacture of
cottonseed OIL Is not likely to be taken
up in India because the seed of that
country is not sufficiently rich in oil.
Of goatslins our principal source of
foreign supply is the British East In
