cleaned by moans means of a land hand fanning mill after threshing it pays to pick out the broken beans also the discolored ones especially is this true where the crop Is raised for seed this may be accomplished by spreading out upon a white covered table and removing tile the trash and defective beans A number of machines have been invented invent cd for expediting ting this work nork one of

perfect beans remain until they fall into the spout provided to convey them to a sack or other receptacle for FIG IS 3 2 FOR PORTING BEANS large quantities there are machines upon the market run by steam or horse power winter and summer prices of eggs always in the fall the price of eggs goes up partly because the supply decreases then and also because with cool weather those who prepare eggs for keeping in winter have more confidence and begin to buy extensively we have often wished that no method hall had c cier er been discovered for preserving eggs then the winter price would be always what it costs to produce eg eggs s in winter both the ess egg producer and tile the consumer consume r would then be better satisfied it really discourages the use of c eggs gs to buy some aud and have them plainly a trifle stale not changed enough as the dealer will ill tell 3 aou ou to hurt them the truth Is that an egg not perfectly fresh Is an abomination it if only such N were v ere sold in market there would be better prices all the year round but in such weather cather as we had in august an egg will spoil from the natural heat of the atmosphere in two days so that it will not be ut fit to use tile the refrigerator must be used more in keeping eggs not to chill them but to cool the temperature around them remo vinz unfruitful trees in every orchard there will be found some trees which are an injury to the farmer every year they remain in their present position producing nothing themselves and lessening the product of neighboring trees all old orchards need more fertility and also more room for each tree to ripen and perfect its fruit removing trees that have for years cumbered cambered cumb ered the ground taking room that might be worth something if it were out Is often
