The following is an account of an experi- 
ment made by Mr, Curwen, of Workington- 
hall, on the culture of forty acres of beans, 
in confequence of the gold medal offered by 
the Society of Arts. The beans-were fown 
in the beginning of February, and began to 
be cut on the 2oth of Auguft. They were all 
bound and led off to an adjoining field to pree 
pare the ground for wheat. After cutting, they 
remained two days fpread upon the ground, and 
were then bound, and placed with the ftalks 
upwards. ‘This crop was raifed from feed cut 
in the fame manner. By this procefs a month 
is gained, which affords an opportunity of well 
clearing the ground before the feafon breaks, 
If this method fucceed, as there is every rea- 
fon to believe it will, it muft greatly facili- 
tate the culture of beans on grounds referved 
for fallow. The beans were drilled at thirty 
inches apart, and planted after the manner of 
potatoes. The crop was moft abundant. One 
bean produced 70 pods, containing 300 beans,
