soon as the grain has grown to the height
of about two inches, the tree is brought,

should be Strengthened out in the mat of
green grain and covered with soil, filling

Stakes are driven into the ground six or
eight feet apart, to which are fastened guy
ropes that will completely brace the tree so
that the winds cannot move it," If trees are
notsswell braced the wind will move them so
that the roots cannot take hold and will
soon dry up. The green grain around the
roots soon withers and decays, but in pass
ing through the stages of decomposition it
gives noulishment to the roots and causes
them to thrive and grow. The best season
for transplanting mountain pineis when the
sap is up and the leaves and roots are just
beginning to grow-between the 10th and
25th of June. If it is not convenient to sow
grain for root beds, green tender weeds may
be pulled and placed around the roots; they
are represented to have the same effect as

interfere with raising barley, and we are
not prepared to feed peas on the ground
where raised
Of course corn is out of the question with
us, and wheat and oats are usually worth
too much in the market to feed to hogs. 1t
is often the case, however, that wheat lit
tie inferior in quality for Touring purposes
might proftably be fed to hogs. But ann
satisfied that six-rowed barley, when we
have no grassi1oppers, is more profitable to
raise for hog feed than peas-provided both
crops are to be Ea,.oesteG.' 1t is not my desire
to discourage the idea that the pea is an un-
profitable crop, for have faith in it when
property handled have ten and one-half
acres OF peas now growing, thatI expect to
make about as profitable as other crops
adapted to our climate. The pc" certainly
has its advantages, and, undoubtedly ,,should
be given permanent place in our agricul-
ture. It is nearly exempt from the ravages
of the hopper, is hardy is adapted to our
climate and soil, and feaves' the ground in
fine condition for succeeding crop.
But do not'le us get1too enthusiastic, and
fool ourselves with such ideas as getting two
crops off the same ground in one season.
The editor Of the Courier! is probably the
only man in Gaflatin valley who has found
the way to do that, and possibly he will die
with the secret in his bosom. Then, again,
it "the fodder is not wasted" it seems to
me the crop must be harvested and thresh-
ed, in which case let no one deceive himself
with the idea that the pea lis one of the
easiest crops raised" But only a part of
the crop should be harvested and stacked,
and the remainder should be fed on the
ground by the use of hurdles, or in some
other way equally inexpensive. Andof the
part stacked, there should be tbreshed only
enough for seed, and the remainder should
| be fed tothe hogs inthe straw. = Peas are
an expensiye*9crop to harvest and thresh,
| but l1sed'in this manner much labor is saved,
and hurdle feeding greatly enriches the

AGRICU / I ! R Al.

N .s the season grows older the war upon
|fhe erasshoppers becomes more general all
|kver the Territory. On the Missouri valley
Iahe conflict has been long and fierce. The
Shoppers came out early, and are now al-
u most ready to fly, and should none OF the
hinged armies from other sections come in
|lhe crops will be- good, Notwithstanding
Rbyeat damage has been done. On the Gal
&tin it was thought there would but few

|stermy the eggs did not hatch, but late ad-
Ices inform us that during the hot sunny
Laws of the past two weeks they have come
|frth in great numbers, and it is feared will
get destroy many crops. On other valleys
Hhey have not been so late in coming out,
|but have hatched at intervals as fast as one
|army was vanquished by the industrious
|hrmer another was ready for action.
81 The modes of defense employed have been
|freaty diversified and numerous. Where
lie land has considerable grade and water is
Reny, water is the only weapon needed,
hlt if the land is level then it is necessary to
Employ coal oil, The Gallatin and PrlcEly
Rear farmers have tried the latter plan with
ereat success. The 'hoppers which are we'll
|srown, and would ferry slow stream with
Ikse, are instantly killed by coming in con-
net with the coal oil. The quantity OF OIL
Iequired is small. On the Missouri valley,
there water has been comparatively scarce,
HE burning of straw and manure has been
Dc most successful.
81 The damage already done, taking the'Ter-
5itory throughout, will not reach fourth
1f the acreage sown, and if the defense con-
fnues as successful the remainder OF the
H1eason the harvest will be good. There

RECIPES.

!. Delicious P;e.-Beat TO cream three
fourths of cup of butter and one cup OF
sugar; add the well-beaten yelks of five
eggs flavor with Vanilla Line two tins
with puff paste, pour i'll the mixture and
bake"at once. Beat the five whites to a stiff
troth :sweeten with powdered sugar; flavor
with vanilla and spread over the pies when
done." Brown delicately, and cut the pies
while hot to prevent the eggs from falling.
One, THO, Three, -Four Cake.-One cup Of
butter, two cups of sugar, not quite three
cups of prepared flour, and four eggs. If
not wanted quite. So rich, substitute cream
for the butter.
Green Pecs.-aPeas lose their delicious fla
vor in a short time after picking, hence the
necessity of picking them justbefore want
ed, and the reason why personsswho depend
upon the markets. for their supply find them
SO tasteless and insipid. Always wash be-
fore shellng, but never after. Reserve some
of the tenderestspods, and put into a sauce
pan with just enough water to cover, and
boil gently fifteen minutes; then skim out
the pods, put in the peas, and Boil another
fifteen minutes--tllis time sufficiently cooks
young, tender peas, but for those old and
hard one must allow from twenty to thirty
minutes, or even longer. When they are
done; there should not be more than a small
teacupftll OF water around them. Season
with a'few spoonfnls of cream, salt and p
little butter. A very nice pea soup without
meat can be made as follows. Boil two let
tuces, two cucumbers, three onions, all of
which should be chopped fine, with three
pints of peas, until tender; put through
Fsieve or colander, and add butter, salt and
pepper; have toasted some pieces of bread,
break into little bits, put into the tureen and
pour over the soup-this makes about two
quarts. ...sv..
