the row. Some planters have spe-
cjal attachments for planting beans.
The ground should be narrowed after
the beans are planted and the surface
may be thoroughly cultivated at that
time. The only cultivation necessary
to grow them is frequent stirring Of
the surface to keep down weeds and
retain moisture. Deep blowing should
be avoided, since it is unnecessary
and harmful.
The beans should be allowed to
ripen and become brown before be-
ing picked. 1t is usually best to al

for pulling and cutting the beans.
one Of the simplest and most practi.
cal is shown in the cut.
1t consists of knife, which may
be made by any blacksmith. which
is bolted to the stock of an ordinary
single shovel plow. With one horse
this instrument may be used to cut
several acres a day. The pillow should
be held so that the knife passes along
just under the surface Of the ground.
cutting the bean stems about one-half
inch below the surface.
After allowing the beans to dry
and the leaves to wilt, they may be
gathered into piles with four-tined
fork, where they may be allowed to
remain for day or two IL the weather
is dry. They should then be hauled to
shelter and placed in pile not more
than three feet deep. II leaves are
very green, there is danger of mold
ing, which will seriously injure the
beans. They must be left In this
pile until thoroughly dry and the
shells have become hard and brit
tie. They may then be hulled, either
by beating them out with stick. or
by using one of the hullers, several
makes of which are ON the market.
