THE PEA CROP.

The Importance of the pea crop is
not appreciated by most farmers.
There are but few crops of so little
trouble to grow that pay better than
peas. They grow on almost any kind
of land, and whether cut for hay, fed
to hogs or turned under as a fertilizer
they are valuable. Every farmer
should plant more or less of them and
take the trouble to save enough for
seed. Most farmers know how to
plant and cultivate the pea for the best
results. They are good for land whether
plowed under or fed on the ground.
1t seems to us that il our fruit growers
would pillow their orchards regularly
every year and plant peas they would
find it very profitable. The peas
would be valuable for hogs, which
could be turned on them at the proper
time. Such crop would not only
prove very valuable for the hogs (for
peas are nearly as good as CORN but
the fruit trees would be greatly bene-
fitted by the cultivation. 1t would
improve the lands, the trees, and put
the hogs in such condition as to require
but little corn to fatten them for mars
ket in the fall. '-~'
Every corn field should be planted
with peas. Plant at second blowing
and the work of cultivation will cost
nothing, as you work the peas at the
same time you do the corn. These
can be gathered for seed, or when the
corn is cut or gathered, stock can be
turned on them to eat them. They
are certainly very valuable crop and
will pay to grow them. H-
When we see an apple orchard (and
there are many grown up in sedge
sprouts and briars, we feel like we
want to tell the ownerto clear it up
pillow, harrow and plant in peas, Ger
tainly the culture of peas should moi
be neglected. Let every farmer PLAN
at least enough peas this season to make
his seed for the next year and not de-
pend on buying. 1t is bad policy tt
depend on others for any kind Of seet
if we can make them at home, es
pecially when so easily saved as peas
Some of our farmers are already be
ginning to prepare their wheat land
by sowing and blowing under pei
crop. 1t will pay, and pay well. w
hope to see this valuable crop more ex
tensively cultivated in this country, es
pecially on our poorer farms.

SOUTHERN STANDARD MEANWHILE TENNESSEE SATURDAY

one mile of the work completed. The
trestle on the north shore, a distance
of nine miles, has been finished some
time. The trestle work on the APP
proaches is constructed after the same
plan as across the Lake, except the
cross ties are further apart in the APP
proaches The timber used in the
bridge proper is all creosoted.
This structure is probably one of the
longest in the United States, and will
be one of the most substantial ever
built. The piles are made of yellow
pine, and average 60 feet in length,
and are driven forty feet. In each
bent there are four piles and the bents
are fifteen feet apart. The caps of the
piles are 12x14 inches, and the string.
ers are 6x16 inches, and three of them
on each side laid on edge. The cross
ties are only four inches apart, and on
them are bolted stringers, which act as
guard rails. The ties form a secure
decking to the trestle work, upon which
the wheels of the car could run With>
out danger of leaving the, bridge on
account of the guard rails. Six huge
pile drivers are stationed along the line
of the bridge.
The trestle work from beginning to
end is said to be one Of the grandest
undertakings connected with railroad
building. The quantity of timber re.
quired, outside of 1854 piles, is over
100000 feet, and when finished
will do credit both to its engineers and
contractors.
The road bed along the Peoples Ave.
nue. Canal and Florida Walk is graded
and ready for the track layers, and the
rails will be put down soon.
One of the most remarkable things
connected with this enterprise is the
creosote works, erected at a cost Of over
$125,00O, and the mode of creosoting
the timbers used in the Lake. To pre-.
serve the timbers from worms, which
cut and destroy timber in salt water,
every pile has to undergo a process Of
creosoting. Before undergoing this
process, however, all the timbers are
bored and framed ready, for their place
in the structure. The piles are then
placed in the creosote works so as to
expel the sap from them under a
vacuum pressure, after which the oil
of creosote, under heavy steam pres
sure, is made to fill all the pores of the
piles, covering the surface Of the tim
bers with crystalized creosote. The
,creosote is all imported, and necessarily
expensive. Every pile used in the
Lake, for a distance of 81 miles, un'
dergoes the creosoting process. The
creosoto works belong to Fletcher
Wessenberg q Co., and are under the
SUPPLEMENTARY of r. B. Patton. Tit
capacity of the works is sixty piles PEI
day. The entire cost of the 213 mile
of trestle will be over one and quar-
million dollars. 5.t
