There are 2500 acres of rich land, level as a house floor, bounded by a line of trees on one side and the ocean on the other; 1600 acres are planted to beans, and the profits are nearly $60,000 yearly.

Thirty-six tons of beans were used this year in planting.

This could not be done in the East, but beans do not need to be "poled" here, as, influenced by the dreamy atmosphere, they show no desire to climb, but just lie lazily along the ground.

Still, there is a deal of work connected with the business.

Dairying, building, horseshoeing, repairing of machinery, are all done on the place.
