C'ultivnlion of the Peauut.
We copy the following, by a corree*
pondent of the Gauntry GcntUman.
writing from Georgia, *ome time in
i860:
The ar icle ie tnllml by a variety ol
name* in this part of the country, auch ;
tie (jrmmdpta, pindar , pm nut, youbrr ,
rfr. The ground should be rich and
well broken up. It ourrht to be of
such a deicription ae might be expect
ed to produce a good crop ot corn
It ought to be laid out in ridgee about
three feet apart. A shallow furrow
run with a email plow along the center
o'each ridge prepares the ground for
the seed. The pode, which contain
from one to three pens each, must be
broken, and the peas plants 1 in the
drill, from one foot to eighteen inches
apart, and covered vitb a hoe about
ono inch and a half deep. They ought
to be plowed and hoed three times
during the season, to destroy the
weed# and keep the ground loose The
pea vino while growing sends up a per
pendiou'ar stem about a foot high—
about this stem many others shoot
out in all directions, and run about fif
teen inches along the surfsco of the
ground. These runners have joints
about an inch and a half opart. At
each joint a strong root strikes down
into the ground about two inches
deep; at the end of this root the pea
pod is tewnd, and '.here comes to ma
turity. Some farmers cover these ate
ral vines with earth, while otbeis
leave them bare all the time. It is not
agreed w hich is the better mode.—
When ripe, one bunch of vines will
have from oue to two quarts of peas
Some planters cultivate them iu hills,
like corn, but I prefer drills. One
acre will product! from thirty-five to
fifty bushels of peaß, which usually
sell at one dollar a bushel in our mar
ket
Hvailli of Cows.
Good health in domestic animals
is always a matter of primary impor
tance.
As bad health in parents transmi's
a tendency to disenso in the offspring,
it is important that every kind ol ani
inal we dwire to continue on our
farms jhould be kept vigorous and
healthy.
As domestic animal* are a source of
human food, it is of groat importance
to preserve them in a healthy condi
tion. Diseased meat carries its quali
ties into the stomach of its consumer.
It is a serious objection w hich vegeta- J
rians urge against the use of anima]
food, that the artificial circumstances
in which animals live and the bad
treatment they receive, ronder them
unhealthy. As an unhealthy aoimal
does Dot consume food to as good ad
vantage as a well one, it is economical
to avoid disease.
As comparative misery and discom
fort accompany disease, it is humane
as well as economical to see that the
animals under our care enjoy as far
as possible their creature comforts.
Each of these circumstances is a suf
ficieot reason for guarding with scru
pulous care the health of the animals
we feed; but when we derive milk
from animals, it is doubly imporant
that they are kept from every objee
tional taint. A sickly cow not only
yields a diminished profit, but she
yields a sickly milk and sickly iu a high
er degree than her flesh.
If a cow eats anything that has a
strong or disagreeable odor, it appears
in her milk.
If a cow eats anything medicinal, it
comes out in her milk.
If a cow is feverish, her milk shows
it.
If she has sores about her, pus may
be found io her milk.
If she is fed upon decayed or diseas
ed food, her milk, since it is derived
from her food, will be imperfect. It
is as impossible to make good milk
from bad food, as to make a good buil
ding from rotten timber. Little Fall*

Washington's Corn Crib. —At a
recent meeting of the Farmer’s Club,
New York city, a farmer from New
Jersey described a corn crib that was
constructed under tho supervision of
General Washington, which, he said,
bad always been ‘rat proof,’ and there
never had been one mouse in it. The
crib was placed on high posts thnt was
set several feet in the ground, with tin
or.sheet iron nailed around the posts
at the upper ends, so that mice and
rats could Dot climb the j osts. Mr.
Crane, ol New Jersey, stated that he
had «oeh a crib, and it bad kept the
grain well every year for more than 20
vmm, and had been both rat and mice
proof.
When to Itliiiiiiro Orchards.
Inquiry is cf.en made as to the fre
quency and amount of manuring or
cultivation for Irena. The answer must
be:
Act according lo circmns'anees.—
The question again recurs : How shall
we know what our soils need ? The
answer is: Observe the results of
growth. An examination or analysis
of the soil will be of litt’e use. But
the trees will tell their own s ory. If
the soil is so rich that they make annu
al shoots of two or three feet or mere
in length, without any cultivation of
manuring at all, (which, however, is
rarely the case.) then it will be need
less to give additional care. The an
nual growth is tho best guide to treat
ment. There are very low apple or
other orohards which, lifer reaching n
good bearing state, throw out annual
shoots more than a foot or n foot and
a half long, and many not half this
length. The owner may lay it down
ns an unalterable rule, that when his
trees do not grow one foot annually
they need more manuring or cultiva
tion, or both. By observing tho
growth he can answer all questions of
the kind roferred to without difficulty.
