LET The FROST HELP YOU.

Few fully appreciate how much a
freszing of the ground does to set at
liberty the plant food locked up in al
most all soils. Water, in freezing, ex-
pands about one-eighth OF its bulk, and
with tremendous force. Water, if con-
fined in the strongest rock and frozen,
will burst it asunder. The smallest
particles of soil, which are in fact only
minute bits Of rock, as the microscope
win show, if frozen while moist are bro
ken still finer. This will 60 on all win
ter in every part of the field or garden
reached by the frost; and as most soils
contain more or less elements that all
growing plants or crops need, good
freezing is equivalent to adding ma
uurcs or fertilizers. Hence it is dcsir-
able TO expose as much of the soil as
possible to frost action, and the deeper
the better, for the lower soil has been
less drawn upon, and is richer in plant
food. Turn up the soil this month
wherever practicable. If thrown into
ridges and hoiIows in field and garden,
the frost will penetrate so much deeper.
Further, blowing or spading the soil
now exposes insects and weed roots to
killing by freezing. Still further, soils
thrown up loosely dry out earlier in
spring, and admit earlier working,
Which is often great gain when day
or two may decide in favor of success

agents for this purpose, in the shape OF
peas and beans, the opportunity is not
improved.
For early pasture or soiling after rye,
a piece of land broadcasted TO tall-grow-
ing green peas, mixed with oats, is in
valuable. The writer Of this once kept
a cow up to a flow of milk till late in
the season by succession of such crops,
aud that, too, on piece Of white sand
land. IT is not known by some that If
these vines are cut and nicely cured
when just about to blossom they will
furnish good crop of nutritious hay,
but il not cut at Towering time the
leaves will crumble away.
Ground peas or beans are economical
for feeding, owing to the great saving
they effect Farmers are tempted to
| part with them at $2.l0 a bushel, and
they often bring more than that sum !;
but if we will stop and reflect that this
meal, mixed half-and half with corn
meal. will enable lis TO dispense with
one third the quantity of hay, great
saving is made through the winter.
For young calves nothing can equal it.
If the farmer has no convenience for
grinding them, the peas or beans can be
cooked into a ''mash" in the ordinary
way, and if tlNs given literally to
stock, especially to the younger portion,
will push them rapidly forward. Pigs
will grow fatter on 1t than on anything
else. Young heifers become matured
several months sooner. BY the use of
pea or bean meal, wheat straw can be
used in place of hay. aud, taken as a
whole, it is almost necessity on we'll
regulated farms. Bear in mind, as
stated above, peas and beans will not
fatten stock as readily as corn, nor will
corn make the stock grow as quickly as
the legumcs. Hence, in winter We
should feed these articles together III
order to get the best results. These
crops can be grown as cheaply as corr
peas in a much shorter time, and
beans fully as easy. The COW pea is
bush variety that grows very tall. Oul
ordinary white bean will answer fol
quick crops. Of peas the marrow Il

, Peas will stand some frost, and ma.

cannot stand frost, and the grower
should wait until the ground is warm
