E Blunt, in the Country Gentleman. There are several varieties giown here, all distinct from each other in color and value. The whippoorwill is small and speckled; makes but little vine,and is in little demand. ThiWcrowder is of a clay color; the largest of all and most saleable because of its handsome aji pearance and valuable properties. It is not prolilic at all, and is haul is raise. Theie are seldom any iu this iriniket Its name arises from the crowded man ner the ppns grow i,n the pod. Tin black pea is wor: bless, except green manuring and hay. It makes enoi- inouB vines and little fruit. The bluck- eyr-d Lady makes little vine, is flue feed, comes early and is considered the best for the table. The clay pea—the most popular, and the best of nil for everything for which the pea is used— is now selling here for seventy-five cents per bushel. I mean that mer chants are paying that price, and hold ing for better prices before selling. The peculiar characteristics of this pea are ns f Hows : It has no tendrils, but twines like boars, or runs upon its own foilage. It is of rapid growth, making in thiLu^uonths, on ordinary land, an almost ini; <-iiuUuble mass of Soilage tw o feet high, and so very dense that it destroys all other vegetation— even the thistle, vrngwted and other noxious weeds. When well cured, these vines are simply invaluable foi hay, w orth, as ascertained by actual ex pertinents, thiry-fhiee to fifty poi cent, more than timothy. The only difference iu making them the leading crop for huy, is that it takes three da\ s to cure them. Cuttle and horses prefei such hay to the best of herds-gmss and •ven to corn. Pea vines are the best fertilizers we can use. By experiments one crop of peas, turned under in J nh or Augnst, haa proved equal in vulm to a two-year-old driver sod. Full of nitrogen and water, the decompose ii a short tine. I have frequently cut off the vines before thej began to run (in July) and by Augnst the root? wcuU1 tluow out new vinos two feet long. By spreading caustic lime ovei them before turning them under, they “Tom, a word with you.” “l'e quick, then, I’m in a hurry.” “What did you give your sick horse, Pother day ?” “A pint of turpentine.” John hurries borne and administers the smne dose to it favorite cluirger,which,strutiue to say, dies in half an hour. His opin ion of Tiiin’s veterinary ability is some what staggered.
