Planting Peas.

A friend Of ours who " loves virtue and
gardening as well as a moss Of green peas,
thought be should like to continue the crop a
lit C lor ger than usual and 30 planted them
at different depths, covering them from one
inch to six. 1t was his expectation that the
peas covered only ooc inch would come ir,t
and go ahead, so that he should have a mess
from the vines before those planted six inches
below the surface lad fairly come into bios
ON. lilo was surprised however to find that
those planted deepest came sooner than those
planted only one inch deep, and that thoy
continued to h%ouris1, retained their bottom
leaves and dark green color and were highly
productive for an unusual length Of time.
In order to get peas early, they are gen.
orally planted on a. warm, dry soil, and coz
cred but slightly in he expectation that they
will come up quickly aud give an early crop.
These two facts, that they are on dry soil AID
covered lightly are the reasons why the vines
wilt so soon, the bottom leaves turning yell
low and dropping off, even before a single
mess Of well developed peas are taken off.
To prevent this result plant on a deep
rich soil, cover deep, say three to six inches,
and keep the soil moist by mulchlng or wa
teriDg.

They said q" Don't plant them mother,

But Of seeds | had no other
SO | dropped them nearlhe door
And they soon were brightly growing
In the rich and teeming soil,
Stretching upward, upward, upward,
To reward me for my toll
They grew DER al the easement,
And they wreathed arousd the door,
All about the chamber windows,
Upward, upward eyermore
And each dawn in glowing beauty,
GlIstening with the early dew,
In the house all wreathed ~ s%plendor,
Every morning bright and new
What II they close at mid -day
IT'S because their work Is done,
And shut their crimson pstsls
From the kisses Of the sun,
Teaching every day their lesson
To my weary painting soul,
TO be faithful in well-doing,
Stretching upward for the goal,
Sending out the climbing .endrils,
Trusting God I strength and power,
TO support, and aid, and comfort,
In the trying day and hour,
Never spuru the thing thags common,
Nor call these home towers poor,
For each hath a holy mission,
Like my glory DER the door.
