Of the 5i i oad varieties raisc-d, I suppose
a good n: any posses the same character¬
istics. \ Vhat I Wish to know is the
principal varieties and their uses.
Axuwi n.— The selection of the va-
riety for planting should be determined
by the i sae tor which the crop le de¬
signed. gif a heavy yield of hay is the
priucipaSjibjact, rni'tf the more vigorous and
late i_fft ring upright varieties, such as
clay, v/ii and whipporwiil, should

tainly o’ of the best, bat if to ba cut

as - becomes ao traiiinff as to be

If this ciop is to.be pastured, or is to

the si ' ca of the ground, trailing va-

ti-.o iWtv* m < a n at uio time of giving
tno lust cultivation. In this way a crop
is seoarod which costs absolutely noth-
ing except for the seed ami sowing, and
which may ba relied upon for a consid¬
erable amount of seed and grazing, and
at the same time will make a cheap and
effective fertilizer for tha succeeding
crop. Iu some cases th8 peas and corn
have been planted at the same time, in
alternate hibs, but we have rarely found
the practice economical. If running va¬
rieties are used they tie oopstalks to¬
gether so as to materially reduce the
yield of tha grain, while if dwarf varie¬
ties are used ; hoy are so shaded by the
corn as to make but little growth.
When planted between the rows iu
June or Jalv they begin their rapid
gr, w h after the corn begins to ripen,
and the corn crop i# gathered before the
Vines are large enough to bo trouble-
tome. When a crop of peas is grown in
this way it cannot well be cut for hay,
but will usually make a good yield of
seed, and will afford a large amount of
most excellent grazing for either cattle
or bogs. Bor such late grazing the
black and the red ripper are among the
best varieties, as the peas will lie on the
ground a long time without injury.—
