The peas then run and tool: hold of the corn-stalks and run upoa them, and I think bore a larger crop of peas than if they had been alone, and the vines had to lie on the ground. I suppose this is readily understood by any person who knows the nature of a climbing vine. I also planted one acre in peas alone, last year, on the 1 Oth day of J une, after I had taken oil a crop of wheat. This acre, I planted for the purpose of mak ing pca-xine hay. Having had no ex perience in tlii. business, I did not know at what stage of the growth was the proper time to save the vines. I discovered that about the time the pea begins tc mature the leaf begins to de cay and fall off. I was then at a loss to kEC?* whether I was gaining more by the maturing of the j>ea, than I was losing by the decaying leaf. I decided, hoxvever, that I was gaining more in the matured pea than 1 was losing in the leaf, and let them remain till the crop xvas about half matured. I then pulled up the vines, and found it a very difficult matter to cure them properly; the leavei almost entirely fell off’, and the vines were very hard to cure. 1 think there was twelve or fourteen bushels of ripe peas to the acre, when : the vines xvcrc pulled, and I think they i would have made twenty-five budicL if they had been left to mature.

It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature, and a collection of nictures, the rarest spccini* dm of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding numlier atlonis afresh pleasure to it.* friends, the real value and beauty of The Aldine will be most appreciated af ter it has been bound up at the close of the year.— While other public publications may claim superior cheapness a* com pared with rivals of a similar class, The Aldine is a unique and original conception- alone and unapproached—absolutely without com petition in price or character. The possessor of the volume just completed cannot duplicate the quan tity of finepapernnd engravings in any other shape or number of volumes far ten tunes itseost. The labor of getting The Aldine ready on the press is so great that reprinting is out of the ques tion. With the exception of a small number spe cially reserved for binding, the editiou of 1871, is already exhausted, and it is now a scarce as weil as valuable l>ook. NEW FEATURES FOR 1872.

That mo ntanv weakly wicked blivets exist end thrive is not evidence that there b no market for anything better—indeed the suc cess of The Aldine from tho start is direct proof of the contrary. With a population so vast, and of such varied taste, a publisher can choose hi* pa trons, and lib paper is rather indicative of his own than of tho taste of the country.
