Pens with Potatoes.

Mr.. ED1roR.-It has generally been custo
mary with most cultivators of the pea, to grow
it by itself, but have been induced to adopt a
different course, and to economist somewhat of
the expense by scattering a few peas along
every Of potatoes, whether the latter be
early or late. The vines are no detriment to the
potato, nor does their presents in the least di-
ninish the facility of wedding, either with OF
without the plow. BY practising this course,
annually secure, not only a regular succession
of picking for table use while the peas remain
green and succulent, but most abundant CROP
for winter use, and a clean article for the mar
ket or sending, the subsequent spring. In some
instances | have sown them pretty thick witt
the potatoes, but too many is detriment te
hoeing, and, as the general rule, think half the
usual planting quality enough The crop thus
produced is harvested with case, and is rarel
injured by mildew or the ''bug." Tryi it.

GRAPE VINEs.-The remarkable ease with
which the propagation of the grape is effected,
and the singular economy attending its cultiva-
ton, in consequence of the small amout of land
it requires, are circumstances which should be
of themselves sufficient to recommend it to the
attention and favor of every one. In the city of
Portland, Maine, there are to be seen, as you
pass along the public streets, numbers of grape
vines of large size growing in the front yards of
houses, where no more room is occupied By them
than would be necessary for pot of foreign
flowers. The vine has its roots in the soil close
to the house, and the tendrils are extended along
its front, or perhaps in the cellar, from which
it is conducted through the window, up the out
side ofthe walls, to the third or fourth story
Every man who owns foot of land should
plant grape vine. The fruit is excellent at all
seasons, after ripening.

The Peach Worm.

A friend has just informed us that he has
found an application of coal ashes as preven-
titivc of the peach soorm. He digs away the
earth a few inches round, down to the roots,
and fills up the cavity with the ashes, and packs
it round the tree some three inches above the
ground. Our informant says he has made a
fair trial oft, by permitting other trees in the
same plot to go unprotected by the ashes, and
the difference was perccptiblc.
Of course this remedy ought to be applied
early in the spring, but it is not too late yet to
prove beneficial to the present season, in some
degree. tits, too, so simple, with the means of
trial at the hands every one, that we hope the
experiment will be made, and the result COM
municated to usi-Gcr. Tet
