 The expence is little different* They fhould 

 be tied up in fheaves with wheat- ftraw* T r -ley 

 frand till the leaf decay, tie them looiely in 

 fmall bunches, and fet them up in frcoks (four 

 Iheafs to the ttook) in the field, where they will 

 foon be fit for carrying home ; for the leaf be- 

 ing gone, the wet will not remain upon them, 

 and the bean will retain its proper colour, which 

 otherwife would become black. Let them be 

 flacked upon a belfry or tuffel, and they will 

 receive for a long time no injury, as the air 

 freely penetrates.
