PEAR A SCESTITUTE FOR POTATOMA—Professor
Beckmann, of the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester,
in a report on the agriculture on the south must.
remarks that the vast extent of grey peas cultivated
there strikes • stranger u somewhat cunous, until be
finds oat that to a great extent titsy take the rises of
beans as a*feeding crop ; and besides that peas are even
now used as an article of food amongst the poor to a
ter extent than at present previdis in most parts of
. "no where one will." he says, "the hucksters
shops will be found to exhibit a largo pan of friel peas,
in the centre of which is a half-pint measure indicative
of the manner in which it is retooled to the poor, and •
good and sensible food it is. This is a matter of no
small importance when we consider their value in a
muscle-making point of view, al if it be known that
llb. of peas Is equal to about 2011 e. of potatoes in real
feeding and 'strength-giving properties, no country need
regret the loss of the latter fickle plant, if it has • good
store of peas to fall back upon." If this calculation be
correct. a 000mb of peas, weighing perZl6 stone, at
245., which is more than their pres-nit would be
equal in point of nmuishment to 10 b of potatoes,
rutin*, at ss. per bushel. 20f. But, according to the table
of professor Johnston, which is more nearly in agreement
with the report of the members of the French Institute,
the proportion of nourishment in potatoes, as compared
with peas, is about Ito 5. Bat even at this rate, potatoes
at sa. a bushel are four times as slew as peas, coasidering
their relative nutriment. Our guardians and triode of the
poor should remember this.—Bury and fir or gide Poe.
