PEA VINES, CURING GREEN.--We desire some
information in regard to peas and pea vines. Is
there any process by which the green vines with
peas on them can be cured in the green state SO
as to get full benefit of them in feeding to
stock "a. o. b., Selma Ala.
ANswER.-There arc several ways Of curing
pea vines but all embrace one essential point
they must not be exposed to the sun after they
are wiltcd if they are, the leaves will drop off
and be lost. A very successful, but troublesome
plan, is TO build pen foot bgh, Of rails or
poles; make an open floor across the top with
the same, then build up pen again two feet high
and fill with pea vines; then put another floor
and build up and fill again with vines and so
on, as high desirable, and put n temporary
roof over the whole. This arrangement admits
air freely and the vines cure well They should
he cut after the dew is off and hauled up and
put i'll pen at once. Another plan, where we'll
limbcd old field pines are convenient. is TO trim
oil the small leaf bearing branches from the
main limb and cut off the ends of the latter in
such manner as to have the skeleton tree that
is left, cone. shaped. Bald m open foundation
around base of tree, one that will keep vines of
the ground also give free ventilation. This
done stack up the green vines around the skele-
ton tree, comb down and bring it into ordinary
stack shape. The limbs keep the vines from
settling down close and give free ventilation
through the mass. Still another method is, to-
rake The vines into swath and then roll them
over and over, getting moreinto the roll until 10
is say two feet in diameter. These rolls arc
then leaned up under shetert to cure. Pea vines
con be cured also by putting in small high
shocks-cut after tho dew is off and shock at
once. Make diameter ofshock very small, and
height as great rs possible --Southern CulGvstor.
