When peas are sown IN antumn or early
in spring they are liable to be eaten by mice,
To prevent this, an English writer recon-
mends soaking the peas for day or two in
train oil, before YOU SOW them, which Che
says) will encourage their vegetation and
render them so obnoxious to mice that they
will not eat them. 1t is recommended i'll
all those sorts which grow high, to have only
l row in place, and then leave a bed 10 or
10 feet wide for onions carrots, or any crops
which do not grow tall. The advantages
are that the peas will not be drawn up much
will be stronger-will flower mar the
ground--and IN wet weather can be more
easily gathered without wetting yourself
s'But (says awriterin the Repertory of Arts,)
instead Of sowing peas in straight rows if
you will form the ground into circles of three
feet diameter with space of two feet be-
cween each circle, in row thirty feet long,
you will have six circles of peas, each nine
feet.-in all ffty-four feet ofpeas, instead of
thirty Cne On the same extent ct ground.


"Ifyou want mere than one row OF circles,
leave bed of 10 or IL feet before you begin
another.


''For the very tall sorts, four feet circles
will afford more room for the roots to grow in
and care must be taken, by applying some
slender twiss to prevent the circles from
joining each other"


DIR. Anderson says that lime is the best
manure for land intended to be sown with
peas.


I.oudon. in giving directions for the field
culture Of tins vegetable, says, "the quantity
of seed must be different in different cases
and circumstances. and according To the time
and manner in which the seed is put into
the ground; but in general it may be from
and half to three bushels, the earliest sow
ings have the largest proportion of seed
The most common mode of sowing peas i
broad cast; but the advantages of the ROY
culture in crop so early committed to tn,
soil must be obvious The best farmer
therefore always SOW peas either after tn
plough, the seed being deposited commonl
in every second or third furrow, or it tn
land is in pulverized state, by DRAWN
drills with machine or BY ribbing.
