think SO. 1t is at any rate, an
indnbitable article of faith With me
iliat green peas are among the nee
essaries Of life. Thus believing, Il

Pea there are four coed objects al
i hich aim: First, TO get them
early; secondly, to get them in sum
mer; thirdly, TO get them in the fall;
and fourihly, 10 get them alnndapt-

b cans before, SO much the better
This ground should beEdug deeply
--if possible, it should be dug two

lEail-rotton dung may be dug in

Kind; they will come into use, jus

Young plants peep above the ground
throw on enough Of as hes TO cove
them over; the frost will not bur
them, provided the sun IS not al
lowed to shine OH them when fro

over, tin them out, leaving a space
of at least one inch between Tx
plants; and as they grow sta k

GINNING of Nav; the same tWC
Kinds may be sowp as for the earl}
crops. The champion IS new
and excellent pea for a SUMMER
crop, as also IS the old "hnight :
marrow" and the "Banksaln: mar
row" These may be sbwn in the
same manner as for tie early crop
except that they should be sown
thinner, about one inch apart, and
only two inches deep in the drills.
10 obtain peas in the fill is the
rub. The soil must be dug deep;
a northern exposure is preferable;
tie seeds should be sown thinIy,
and when they are up should never
be ws>ered. liz the season is likely
10 be too dry on them, cover them
with loose litter from the dung yard.
Notbing is sweeter than tender
peas in September and October,
and when sown n.June and July
in this manner, il is easy to have
them. Common attention to these
remarks will prevent tic farmer
from hearing from his cook the cry
Of peas, peas, when thffe are no
peas, and enable Him to ehjoy de-
lcious necessary Of life in album
dance for at least six months in the
taf.
