yet we believe the national conven.

to that of Ohio, which is little more

Peas for Table and Seed.


AS spring days lure us to the garden, the
seeds we can most safely risk, and whose crop
we most highly prize. are peas. A few may be
planted shallow as we closely follow the retreat
ing frost, but the main crop, put in a few days
later, should be planted deeply, four or five
inches down, if the soil is in proper condition.
The pea takes kindly to fertile soil, and if drills
are open to receive the seed. it is well to put
manure in the drill. For broadcast sowing, my
practice has been to pillow the land and apply
stable manure, and then sow the peas before
narrowing the land in the least, then in har-
howing, the peas and manure are covered to-
gether. On light soils, if peas are plowed in,
they are not planted too deep.
1t will be found best generally to sow peas of
different varieties for early and late, rather than
SOW early peas at different times all through the
season, as late sown peas here rust and mildew.
In practice it is found difficult to save seed from
peas raised in the kitchen garden; they are such
a favorite article of food that the vines are apt
to be nearly cleared, leaving only the fag end of
the crop, and, if these are accessible to poultry,
the vines are completely cleared. For seed peas,
ripen the whole crop. If a man is skillful in
raising green peas. and has early land and an
early variety, a market can be found for the
earliest peas in any country village, and a very
profitable crop can be sold early enough in the
season to raise on the same land a second crop
turnips, cabbage OF squash.
If a man is still more skillful, and has an es-
tablished reputation for strict honesty, he can
raise seed peas of choice varieties for seedmeu,
or for retail trade. Very few persons are
adapted to raise seed to sell, although many
might raise seed for their own use, and be salts
fed with the crop, however mixed it might be;
but for sale it should be absolutely of the kind
it is sold for, and as perfect as possible of its
kind. Some folks pick for table use many thin
pods with just rudimentary peas made up of
little globes of water. and then go to the other
extreme. So instead of having an evenly-cooked
sweet, nutricious dish, they have one they must
eat with caution because of the hard old peas
that are ripe enough for seed. In this locality I
have never seem pea grown with a weevil or
bug inside of it, as they are found in milder eli
mates.

The country dances of the European peasantry
were shown at the kirmess, and there was also a
ballet by children, part Of which presented pan
tomimically the story of Little Red Ridinghood
Space for this was inclosed by a rope, around
which crowded thousands of stretching and ell
bowling people, all anxious to get a glimpse Of the
little ones in spangles and tights. At a corner a
sudden commotioL arose. A boy was struggling
to get through the jam, and those whom he
sought to displace in his progress were angry at
his rudeness. He was pretty roughly tossed
about, and a shaggy wrap which he carried was
pulled away and lost.
What on earth are you doing, my SOM said
the present John Jacob Astor.
But the embodiment of millions did not re-
pressively impress the youngster, who forced
his way with all his might between two of the
opposing individuals; and emitted a howl that
was heard to the furthest corner Of the upper
gallery.
"What's the matter2' exclaimed Cornelius
Vanderbilt, catching him by the collar.
'Dou't stop me" implored the boy; I'm the
wolf. and they're waiting for me-
Such was the fact. He had been cast for the
hungry beast that pursues Little Red Riding
hood, and his skin was irrecoverably under the
feet of the crowd, but he was bound to get into
the scene despite all hindrances. The bit of a
girl was already posed in the expression of
fright at the first woifsh cry. and the spectators
were waiting to see the brute enter, when the
undisguised but energetic boy bounded in on all
tours, looking like an unchin in every day dress,
quite ferocious in his barking and chasing. The
pantomime was saved.
