earth up to their stems at the same time, which will cause 

 them soon to be fit for the table. 



One quart of Kidney Beans will plant from three hundred 

 and fifty to four hundred hills, according to the size of the 

 Beans, allowing four Beans to each hill, or from two hundred 

 and thirty to two hundred and sixty feet of row, allowing 

 six Beans to every foot. 



These Beans should not be suffered to get old and tough 

 before they are gathered ; be careful in trimming them, to 

 strip off the strings. To effect this desirable object, break 

 them across ; and, in order to preserve their greenness, soak 

 them in salted water for a short time, then put them into the 

 water while boiling, which should be previously seasoned 

 with salt. When they are tender, which will be in from fif- 

 teen to twenty minutes, take them up and drain them through 

 a collander, in order to render them capable of absorbing a 

 due share of gravy, melted butter, &c.
