Peas for Hogs.

There are several important advan.
tages to be gained by the introduction
Of pea culture aside from direct profit
derivable from them when fed to hogs.
There are but a few better rotation
crops than peas. A crop Of peas leaves
the soil in fine condition for wheat.
Beside, the manure from hogs fed on
peas is regarded as superior to almost
any other kind. They may be grown
and fed TO hogs profitably either in a
green Or matured state. Peus are
cheaply grown and do not require the
richest soil; and, owing to their hardy
nature, they can be sown very early in
the season, thereby assisting in the de-
struction of troublesome weeds. If the
object is to grow them as Green crop
or crop to be fed by allowing the
hogs to gather them, they should be
sown either at different dates OF the
seed should be Of different varieties. so
that the times of maturing viii not
fall together. If, however, the object
be to grow them to feed after maturity
and alter they have been harvested,
threshed, etc, the seed may be Of one
variety. The time for sowing Should
be regulated somewhat by the season.
Il sown to be gathered by the hogs,
one and one-half bushels is about right,
FOR il that case early varieties are
ns6is but in sowing the latter at least
two bushels should be used. For a
crop pea our fancy would favor the
black eye; twenty or thirty bushels on
fair soil is considered fair crop. Pea
vines, or pea vine hay, is about as val
uable for sheep as clover hay. If the
hogs are to do the harvesting, they may
be turned into the peas as soon as the
pods are lump, or, in other words
about as soon as the pea has it's matu-
rity. II the peas are to be fed after
maturity and after threshing, they
should be either cooked or soaked: if
used in the latter way the soaking
should last tWenty-four hours We
know of nothing that comes as near
perfection for hog plaster as clover,
and more especially if land plaster
gypsuni--is applied judiciously. We
think if a system Of clover pea, root
and grain culture could be introduced
here, that would make hog growing
one OF the most remunerative indus
tries Of the state.-Rnral MESSENGER.

En- ilagc.

Professor Voelcker, the foremost
agricultural chemist of England, is to
be counted among the latest converts
TO the system Of saving green fodder
IN silos. Mr.. Atkinson of Boston, sent
him two caSks-one of maize fodder,
the other of rye---of which Professor
Voelcker returns analyses, and, what is
OF more Importance, the report that
the substances reached him in good
condition, the maize fodder being per-
fectly sound. the. rye very slightly
moldy. He adds that, while he prefers
the maize to the rye, both remained
perfectly wholesome food for cattle.
and the bulk of what had been sent
him from the neighborhood of Boston
was fed, with a little cotton-seed meal
TO cows on an experimental farm. The
animals "took to the ensilage at once
and liked it much.7
On this Mr.. Atkinson relates that he
has himself kept two cows from fall
feed to summer pasture on the ensiIaee
got from half an acre of good land; and
ne believes that with careful manage
ment four cows can be kept to the acre
Of ensllage, with a proportion of cotton
seed meal added, and maintained in
good condition. He makes two sug-
gestions which seem to US valuable to
small farmers and to those engaged in
the transport of cattle across the ocean.
"The fact that fodder could be taken
from the pits, pac led in casks and sent
TO England in good condition is sugges-
tive: First, as to the feeding of live
cattle in crossing the sea. Would not
good corn fodder, packed in casks, be
better than hay, and more suitable,
bulk for bulk? Second, may not per-
sons who live in city or village raise
Fodder at some distance, permit it to
wither on the field, so as to lose its
elasticity, and then pack it in -four bar
sels or sugar barrels, using a lever to
press 1t, to be brought in from the
farm to the city or village, as needed
Tor the family cow"
Why should not farmers near villages
and towns make profitable business
Of preparing and selling ensilage to
those who keep cows but have too lit
tie ground for their maintenance the
year round? Such persons now buy
dry feed. Why would they not prefer
10 buy ensilage? There is here hint
Tor new industry which would give
added value to land near towns and
villages and profitable employment to
