   Quantity: An average of 5 pounds of beans is needed per canner load
   of 7 quarts; an average of 3-1/4 pounds is needed per canner load of
   9 pints--an average of 3/4 pounds per quart.
   
   Quality: Select mature, dry seeds. Sort out and discard discolored
   seeds.
   
   Procedure: Sort and wash dry beans. Add 3 cups of water for each cup
   of dried beans or peas. Boil 2 minutes, remove from heat and soak 1
   hour and drain. Heat to boiling in fresh water, and save liquid for
   making sauce. Make your choice of the following sauces:
   
   Tomato Sauce--Either mix 1 quart tomato juice, 3 tablespoons sugar, 2
   teaspoons salt, 1 tablespoon chopped onion, and 1/4 teaspoon each of
   ground cloves, allspice, mace, and cayenne pepper; or mix 1 cup
   tomato ketchup with 3 cups of cooking liquid from beans. Heat to
   boiling. Add 3 quarts cooking liquid from beans and bring back to
   boiling.
   
   Molasses Sauce--Mix 4 cups water or cooking liquid from beans, 3
   tablespoons dark molasses, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt,
   and 3/4 teaspoon powdered dry mustard. Heat to boiling.
   
   Fill jars three-fourths full with hot beans. Add a 3/4-inch cube of
   pork, ham, or bacon to each jar, if desired. Fill jars with heated
   sauce, leaving 1-inch headspace.
   
   Adjust lids and process following the recommendations in Table 1 or
