Next to corn for making pork. in our

soils a.crop Of them may precede wheat
crop with advantage. Peas may be sown
early itmatters little how early, as they
are rarely injured BY spring frosts, and
they are the sooner fit to remove fiom the
field where wheat is to be sown. Some
important experiments made by DIR. Plum
mer last year, seemed to prove that peas
might be subjected to the action of boiling
water one minute without injury, butwith
the effect Of destroying the Larvae of the
