CURING PEA VINES.

Your correspondent C. M. in calling
the attention Of your readers to the curing
Of the peal vine, deserves at their hands,
thanksr.GIt is an importan, means ofkeep-
ing stock. which, if we'll cured, will do
better than any other opecies of forage we
have. : have seen il cured for, 20 years,
and as my mode is different. from his, /
beg 10 give il you. leaving to your choice
10 dispose Of as win suit you. After you
have either cul the vines nearthe ground,
or pulled s,hom up, leave them in swarth
until they have wlled-not taking longer
Than half a day. ., Then. with forks, throw
them up into hand cocks, small at the
base and as high as will NOT press together,
only their own weight; after remaining
thus for a couple of days, open out for, an
hour or two in sun and haul up-haying
provided a rail .pep,~ with surplus rails,
shd boards TO cover-then put rails in for
tuoT few inches above the ground-a
foot or so apart, on which throw in some
2,or3 feet thick the vine; put or another
floor of rails and fill again org feet; con.
tinue thus antil The pen is 10 or 12 feet
high aud cover. Many, persons fork in a
layer Of straw Of any kind, oats, rye or
wheat: with every layer of The vine s.
many use salt, in both,ways. and no ques.
tion. but what it is saving in the end.
Now for the reason-ifthe vine is cured
as" fodder or other hay'' you will lose
every leaf, much Of the stem, and one en-
,irely unacquaiuted with the vine, would
lose e:uearly all-for they would let il re-
main until dry, .Lucerne, clover aud pea

ing so much sap in the sialk, that you
would lose all abe smaller part. before the

merely whiting, the leaf and leaf. stalk is
retained in degEee, and by throwing into
cocks, the air passes ,hrough--the; moder-
