Chapter V. Uses of Bean Cake 
SECTION I.—CHARACTERISTICS OF BEAN CAKE & 
TI'S ENLARGED USES 
Bean residue left after the oil has been expressed or 
extracted from Beans assumes three forms, viz, Bean Cake, 
Bean Plate, and Bean Meal. In respect of general ingredi- 
ents, their contents vary in amount, according to the kinds 
of residue. (vide Chapter 6). 
Hach contains a good amount of protein, and, being 
turned out from Beans, an ideal article of food, the scope 
of utility of the Bean residue is very extensive. . Then, seen 
from the standpoint of price, the Bean residue is the lowest, 
making in itself a reassuring feature for its future. 
Heretofore the major portion of Manchurian Bean Cake 
was exported to Japan, and it practically dominated the 
fertilizer market as a cheap, excellent manure. In Europe 
and America, the residue left of Manchurian Beans after 
the oil has been extracted is used for cattlefeed. Consider- 
ing the ingredients of Bean Cake, to consign the Cake for 
fertilizing purposes as the case in Japan was, would be 8 
culpable extravagance. It should first have been used as 
cattle feed, and then the droppings will do excellently for 
manure.
