Mexican Ear Beans.

In the forests Of Michoacan, n of
the most picturesque of the Mexican
states, may be seen groups of native
women and children engaged in pick
ing up and placing in baskets what at
first sight look like nuts. These are
the Mexican ear beans, and they are
gathered and sold by the natives for
shipment to France, where they are
used to tan leather for shoes. The
bean is SO named by reason of its re.
semblance to the human ar. It grows
wild on a small tree that reaches the
height of twenty or thirty feet, with
wide branching limbs. AS many as
ten bushels often grow on a single
tree. When ripe they fall to the
ground, and over many extensive
tracts, not only in Michoacan; but in
Colima and Guerrero, untold thousands
Of bushels remain ungathered In the
forests. It is not difficult to hire ma.
tives to pick them up at a cent a
pound. To be used for tanning the
beans have only to be dried and
ground, and so rich are they in astrin-
gent Qualities that a very small quaint
ty Of the bean meal Is sufficient to tan
a hide.

place too much emphasis upon the
pedigree, for a pedigree in itself is of
not much value. We should combine
the pedigree with the animal and &C.
lect the animal that will best meet
our requirements. We do not wish to
advocate the use of pure bred boars
and pure bred sows, although no
doubt this would be extremely valu-
able, but for a beginner it would per-
haps be best for a man to select a
pure bred boar to use upon his grade
sows. BY continual selection he will,
in time, be able to breed up a cry
high grade herd. These animals will
have very good individuality and will
have a fairly good pedigree.
