PEA CULTURE IN CANADA.-Field peas
are grown here extensively as cleaning
crop on land intended to be sown with win
ter wheat, when they often take the place
of summer fallow. They do well on
almost any soil, though best on those soils
that are rather clayey in texture. DerlV-
ing large proportion Of plant food from
the atmosphere rather than the soil, ana
growing 80 rapidly as to choke out al! weeds,
peas are renovating crop. They Will orlng
a fair crop even with careless cultivation;
They are usually sown on sod land plowed
the previous fall and well worked in early
spring with two-horse cultiTator to make
a tolerably deep yet compact seed-bed, and
con be sown 90 early in spring as the land
can be worked.
There are many varieties Of peas, differ
ing mainly in size Of seed, length of haulm,
and earliness Of maturity. The ordinary
small field pea grown here natures about
wheat harvest, or in time to allcw Of the
land being twice ploHed before seeding to
winter wheat, and requires two bushels OF
seed per acre. The marrowfat varieties are
later in maturing, and have no advantage
that We can see except in size. They re-
uuire four of five bushels of seed per acre.
We think the Daniel O'Rourke pea would
prove desirable kind for field culture, as
they mature early, and are productive.
Of late years two new kinds have been
introduced and pretty extensively grown.
The Cro,on pea is one, and is very tine
sort, of medium size, requiring good rich
soil, and then yielding one-third more.of q
crop than any other. The Golden pine is
another, and may be called the poor farm
er's pea, as it will grow and yield fair
crops on light land, or that which has been
sub ected to negligent culture. These two
kinds require three bushels Of seed per
acre. Seed costs here now one dollar per
bushel (gold) for clean samples.
Pea straw is nearly equal in value to
clover hay for feeding sheep or young
stock in winter, and is extensively used
here for that purpose, the haulm Of the
smaller peas being the best.
The average yield here per acre is
twenty-five bushels, but forty. to fifty Is
quite common, and the haulm more than
pays the expense of growing and harvest
Ing the crop. The crown pea has the ad-
vantage of being rather short and standing
up well, 80 that it is generally cut with a
moving machine, while the marrowfats
get very much tangled, and continue to
grow so long that their tops are half green
when haryested.-J. M, in Country Gen.
tlen,an.

KEROSENE EXPLOSION AND PANIC IN A
CHuRcH.-At Waukegan, ILL.,, on Monday
evening, there were assembled at an early
hour a large audience in the Catholic
church. For some time past certain emil
nent Catholic missionaries have been fill
ing the edifce. The building is made of
wood. Before the hour for the evening
exercises the church (St. Mary's) was three
parts filled. The church has two iron
frames, depending by a screw, with places
for kerosene lamps. Imagine the first of
these unscrewed by the force of sheer stu
pidity. Fancy these lamps breaking, and
the burning oil streaming on female attire.
Consider surging croWd-the fright-the
panic. Windows were broken; people
trampled upon and all was CONSERVATION
and terror. The carpet on the altar was
taken up; the flames smothered-Protest-
ants and Catholics joining in the work.
Some of the most respectable ladies and
gentlemen were bruised in the panic.
