BUGS IN PEAs.-Dr. |. p. Trimble of
Newark, n. j., says this bug or weevil in
the pea is well nigh universal, at least over
wide sections of the country. In the north
ern part of New York and New England,
he does not usually affect the peasso seri-
ously. Hence seed peas ought to be raised
north of Albany and Boston. Avery small
egg, that soon becomes minute worm is
laid on the back of pea pod. The little
animal eats his way into the middle of the
pea, and slowly natures into the weevl
that we find in these peas. When the pea
is green, he is so small as TO be below no.
tice. But when the ripe pea is brought to
market, the size of the worm, and after
wards of the bug, is such as to make most
dried peas unfit for the table. Fowls pre-
fer them, and they will generally do as well
for seed as sound peas. They do not affect
! the earliest Of our peas, nor the very late
! varieties but the marrowiats aud English
mammoth are always infested with them.
As ninetcen-twenteths of our pea crop is
eaten green, the officially is one of little
! practical importance.

assumes tho form OF vapor, it takes up 1923
times as much heat as It contained while
| liquid.
Such then is the condition in which the
! soil should be, in order to receive the great
est benefit from the manures which Q sup
ply, and the atmospheric manures, which
the heavens are kind enough to furnish to
| the soil, if we put it in order to receive
them.
We haze said that ammonia, carbonic
acid and oxygen arc atmospheric fertilizers.
Lot us see what they will do where the soil
is prepared for them. Ammonia reaches
the soil y two ways, from the air cirCJilat-
ing through tho soil, or by rains carried TO
the earth. 1t is the most important of all
organic manures in the soil. Clayey or
pcaty soils retain it tho best Soils that are
nearly pure sand, will allow il to ovapsrate
Immediately after shower, and therefore
need to be dressed with clay, peat and a
portion of charcoal dust. Plants do not
probably appropriate ammonia by their
leaves.
Carbonic acid is received from the atm6s-
phere both by the leaves and roots of plants.
If there Is caustic lime in the soil, ii unites
with it and makes it mildor and finer. 1t
is absorbed by the water in the soil, and
| gives it the power of dissolving many more
! substances than it would do without the
| carbonic acid.
! Oxygen oxidizes or rusts somc of the con-
stituents of the soil, and prepares them for
the uses of plants.
If there are acids in the soil, the oxygen
will prepare some of the mineral mat
tcrs i'm the soil to unite with and ncutralizc
them.
Tho next agent is water, and may be con-
sdcrcd an atmospheric manure, ms it il re-
ccived from the air in the form of rain or
dew, and is charged with fertilizing sub
stances.
Atmospheric manures cost nothing, and
are Of great value. In the course of nature
/ they are supplied to the soil without the inn
mediate attention Of the farmer, but it is
not beyond his power to manage them in
such II manner as to arrest them in greater
/ quantity.
But we hoe, also, TO kill weeds, because
/ they occupy the soil to the disadvantage of
/ crops because they exclude light and heat
from cultivated plants, and thus interfere
/ with their growth; because they take up
/ mineral and other matters from the soil,
/ thus depriving crops of their use, and be-
cause, if allowed To perfect themselves, their
| hardy nature and persistent growth would
| occupy the lard to the exclusion of all other
| plants.
| BY frequent hoeing or stirring of the soil
we keep it in its best chemical condition,
and that is the condition which will pro-
| duee the most abundant ard the most prof
/ table crops.
Tho how and when this should be DONE
we will leave to others 20 say.-Ne'r Eng

SALT ron CABBAGEs.--Teno or moro years
ago, in company with DR.. Tyler, then ply
siciau Of the New Hampshire Insane Asy-
lum, ! took a stroll oyer a portion of the
farm connected with that institution. None
of the crops interested me more than the
field oabbagcs, there being nearly 1000 heads
of the largest and best cabbogos I had ever
seen. | remarked to him that for few
years past the cabbage crop in my section
had been almost worthless, in consequence
of being clump-iooted. He said that q lib
oral application of salt to the land or to ma
nure intended for cabbages, was certain
cure and preventive for fingers and toes,
and all other ellis that the cabbage is heir
to- The manure intended for cabbages
received all the beef and pork brine and
waste salt of the institution, amounting to
many barrels each year; and since they had
made use Of the sailed manure they had
not failed to raise extra large crops, and
well remember that for two or three previ-
Gus years, cabhages from the grounds of the
Insane Asylum always took the lead of all
others ut the State and County iairs.-CoH-

nary intelligence, answer to master the
rudimonts of the French or German Ian
guage in a single year, thus opening new
and rich field of amusement and culture
Ten years of such course would give
man the mastery of the French and German
tongues, Il fair knowledge of mathematics,
pure and applied, an outline of the physi-
cal sciences, and skill as a craftsman. The
writer of this article, still on the sunny
side of forty, asserts that the average of all
the time he has been able to devote to
study during his life has been considerably
less than two hours per day. Let any nae
chanic ct the age Of twenty consider how
much advantage the above requirements
would be tohim at the age of thirty, should
he obtain them, and then go to work and
get them. The requisite books can be OBJ
tanned for less than many young man
spends for cigars during six months
Twelve years since, we were in machine
shop in the centre of New York State,
where we were having model constructed.
The young man to whom the foreman and
proprietor had assigned the work, attracted
our attention from some remarks which
seemed TO indicate higher cultivation than
is usually met with in young men occupy
ing similar positions. Thereupon we set
ourselves to draw him out
We found him familiar with the higher
mathematics, an expert craftsman, and
thoroughly posted in natural philosophy
and the chemistry of the metals. He had
commenced French and German. All
these accomplishments were the reward of
evening study, pursued steadily since the
date of his apprenticeship, commenced at
the age of sixteen. This young mdn was at
that time just past twcnty-one, in apparent
| ly perfect mental, moral, and physical
health. lie has since risen by successive
steps to foreman, and is now partner in
the same establishment, man of wealth
and MISUNDERSTANDING american.

POTATO GROWING UNDER STRAw.-Geo.
Clark Of Ecorse, Michigan, recently sent us
an account of an experiment by him in po-
tato culture. The potatoes were cut and
dropped in trenches which were four feet
apart and six inches deep, These trenches
were then filed with rye straw and corn
stalks, 50 that when stepped on the straw
and stalks were about six inches deep. Tho
potatoes were then cultivated and hoed as
is usually done with this crop, and the re-
suit was a good yield of medium sized and
good eating potatoes, very few being rotten
or hollow. Potatoes planted at same time
and on similar land but without mulching,
gave poor yield Of small potatoes. Mr..
Clark estimates his gain from mulching this
half acre at $780, Western Rural.
