The Farm and Garden,
rA Caltnrc in the South.
There are a good many different
kinds —the speckled, or whippoor rfill, is
the one most generally sown about hero,
as it makes more peas than any other.
Then, there r.re the clay pea, black p a,
lady pea, and a good many others. Ihe
last named is generally used for the ta
ble ; it is nearly as good as the navy
bean and more easily raisod here.
We sow them here most always
among the corn in the drills a Irill or
two between two stalks of corn—at t>c
first plowing, which covers them ; or
between the drills at the last plowing.
They may be sown at any time in Maj
or June, but they will make good vines
if sown in JuN, depending a good deal
upon the season and.the .condition of
the land. We step drop three or four
peas in a hill ) rows any width apart
you desire, from two to four feet and
cover lightly. No after cultivation i9
needed,^although it helps them greatly,
it plowed once or twico. Seed is pret
ty scarce here this season. Some years
it is very plentiful j the gathering o!
the peas being the b:gg st part of the
job
They will grow in the poorest laud.
I have been Bowing llitui for several
years on poor spots, to bring the land
up agam ; the pea vines being a great
restorer of worn lands, as they draw
most of their nourishment from the at*
mosphero.
They are a great and cheap fertilizi r
to a wheat crop, it is said, a’tbough i
have never tried it. I have failed, so
far, in turning them under while green,
the vines choking the plow up to such
an extent as to make it a bad, income
plete job. I always put my oat land in
peas, after the oats are cff. They cover
the ground before frost. —Hernando

Stilling Weeds*.
So long as eight million tons of use
less weeds are raised annually by (he
farmers of the United States, we can,
not urge too frequently the means for
their destruction It is not merely be
cause the same amount of vegetable
growth in useful crops would amount to
sixty million dollars, but for the con-
Hlaut hindrances which they offer to
neat husbandry, their injnry to young
crops, and their seeds spoiling the sale
of otherwise excellent market products,
that they should not bo permitted to
present such fornrdable drawbacks to
good farming.
It is now well understood that tire
true way to clear out annual weeds from
the soil, is by stirring it over and over
through the summer, just ofteo enough
to break the sprouts and kill the young
plants as they are coming to the sur
face j and that perennial weedq and
more particularly those which spread
by the roots, are most easily and effec
tually destroyed by smothering and
keeping them ploughed under ; with
rare exceptions, as in the case of quack
grass. A general truth, which will ap
ply to all processes for killing weeds, is
that they may be destroyed when just
starting from the ground with one-tenth
the labor required a week or two later,
and one twentieth of the work when
fully grown. The farmer must therea
fore make provision to command ready
labor at the critical time when it will
accomplish the mest, and it would be
better to pay two or three dollars a day
to laborers at the most favorable mo
ment, than only half a dollar after the
weeds have grown. — Country Gentle

Salting Hay.
There is a great diversity of opinion
with regard to salting hay. Some claim
that it injures the hay by retaining the
moisture in it, and that it turns it
black ; others believe it will preserve
frreen hay in better condition than it
could be kept without it, I am not
satisfied myself whether it helps to pre
serve it or not, but I like to use a little
on all my hay, because it keeps it from
becoming os dry as it otherwise would
Salted hay will spend better, stock will
do better on it, and, if sold, it will not
dry up so badly when moved as unsalt'
ed, and, consequently will weigh better.
With an experiment in view, made a
year ago, I caonot believe it will turn
hay black and musty if applied when
green. I cut a little over a ton of hay,
very early, and put it on a scaffold in
an old unused barn, in a partially dried
condition, and applied a peck o* salt to
it, leaving the hay as light as possible,
being careful not to tread it all. It
was so very green I had icars it would
be quite smoky, but it came out the
brightest ton of hay I ever saw—all of
it retaining its bright green eolor. This
shows that salt will not injure the color
of hay, but it does not prove but that
the scaffold of hay would not have kept
just as well without the salt. There
was a good circulation of air through
it, but it was salted pretty heavy, one
peck to the (on. —•/. 11. /', Few

The best vinegar in use fr pickling
is that made from the Western high
wines. In a vinegar made from wood
the pickles soon become soft, and even
eider viuegar though the best and most
wholesome for table purposes, wiil not
preserve pickles more than a month.—
All the artificial viuegars made from
acids fail in this respect. Cucumbers
pickled in highwine vinegar will keep
an almost indefinite time, and will come
out as good as at first, after .an interval
of several years.
Wo cannot grow peaches with success
except we'prune trees every year; leave
but a single tree unpruned and its
leaves are a light sickly green, it b°ars
one or two peaches, and that is the last
of the tree. Where trees are pruned
every year, cutting back more than hal r
the growth of tho season, peach trees
hear from fifteen to twenty years, aud
sume even more —Fruit Recorder.
