PEAsE THE BASIS OF GOOD FARMING
At no time since the war has the field pea
been below remunerative price in the
market, and yetit has been little raised for
sale. It has seldom been below one dollar
a bushel and yet corn with which it has
been raised as secondary crop has gen
orally been about one half the price of pease
in the market. Farmers are not fools and
yet they strangely look at things through a
glass darkly relating to the profits OF the
different crops.
Pease are the most nutritive, the most
productive, the most saleable, the most fer
tilizing and the most easily cultivated OF
all the old fashioned field crops. Except
oatmeal, pease furnish more nutrtive mat
ter for man than any other article of food.
They yield more pounds to the acre than
corn, wheat, oats, barley, and as much as
beans. They are of the clover family and
keep up the fertility of the soil more
than clover or than any other field crop.
The productivenes of land will be sus-
tained interminably if cultivated in pease.
Why, then, are field pease not more general
ly cultivated as sale crop? 1t is one of
the unsolved mysteries of agriculture. AS
field crop, not as an auxiliary to corn,
the crop is easily prepared for market and
pays twice as much as corn and is less tiuc-
tuated in price Get good seed. Put the
ground in good order and cultivate we'll,
and farmers will find their profit in rails
ing peaSe.

CORN OR OATS FOR HORsEs.-The COM
parative value of corn and oats for horses
may be briefly stated as follows: The form
er is deficient in many Of the elements of
nutrition so necessary for recuperating the
constant wear and tear which necessarily
takes place in the body of living animal
On this account horses that are. exclusively
fed on corn and hay do not receive that kind
of nourishment which appears necessary
for the due support and maintenance of the
animal fabric. Hence, we must not be sur
prised that corn-fed horses show evidence
of being languid by sweating profusely
while being worked, lack of vitality, etc.
Oats, on the contrary, contain more of the
essential elements of nutrition than any
other article of food which can be fed with
impunity to horses. Oats are not only the
most natural food for horses, but they are
decidedly the most nutritious. They are
the cheapest, because there is less risk in
feeding them, and experience has proved
that horses properly fed on timothy hay
and oats can, with regular exercise good
grooming and proper sanitary regulations
be brought to the highest state of physical
culture, and can perform more work with
less evidence Of fatigue than when fed on
any other article Of food.

KEEPING IRISH POTATOES.

The difficulty with this crop in the South
lies in it's preservation. Our experience has
taught us, thati potatoes are exposed to the
heat of the sun, and become heated after
they are dug, they will quickly rot. We
soon learned the necessity of keeping them
cool. They should be dug only in the morn
ing, late in the afternoon, or upon cloudy
days, so that the hot sun can never shine
upon them. AS soon as they are dug, they
should be spread out in cellar, or under
meath house, where there may be free cir
culation of air, and the sun cannot reach
them After few days, when quite cool
and dry they may be put into we'll ventila-
ted barrels, and should be we'll sifted with
lime or dry ashes. If then put away in a
cool, shady, we'll ventilated place, they
may be easily kept for many months. But
better than keeping over is the growing of
a second CROP, which may be almost as cas-
is dug, the small potatoes should be careful
ly selected, and spread in some cool, but well
lighted place, where they will still be pro-
tected from the heat of the sun. In about
two weeks they will become of the greenish
color, indicative of maturity, and then will
be fit to plant. If they are planted before
they attain this greenish color, they will re-
main in the ground without sprouting until
the following Spring. In planting. for Sec
ond crop about the end of June or the begin
ming of July, it is best not to cut the tubers,
but to drop them whole, about s to 10 inches
apart in furrows, and cover them lightly
with the hoe and if it be practicable, to
cover or mulch the field with trash, leaves,
&C., to protect the crop from the hot sun so
much the better. If July should prove to
be a month of drought, as is sometimes the
case, there may be difficulty in getting
good stand Of young plants but if few
good seasonable rains fall on them, good
yield may be reasonably expected.
Every year thousands of barrels of pota-
toes are shipped from the North to South
Carolina, during the Fall and Winter, but
this need not be, as our State can, by Sec
ond crop, easily supply her own consump-
ton. The first planting is usually in Feb,
ruary, and these potatoes are harvested
about the end of May, and shipped to the
North, where they are sold at a good profit.
The second crop, planted the last OF June,
natures in October, and can be dug when
ever convenient during the Fall as the
weather with us is seldom cold enough to
freeze the ground before Christmas. With
favorable seasons, this crop yields we'll, is
easily kept through the Winter, and fur
nishes excellent seed for the next Springs
planting.

AN EMBARRASSED TEACHER.-A teach
er in one of the smallest district schools in
the smallest State in the Union once proved
that it may be embarrassing to use ones
self as an illustration. She was hearing a
class in spelling and defining words. The
word "orphan" had been correctly spelled,
but none of the class seemed to know its
meaning. After asking one or two of them,
she said, encouragingly: "Now, try again,
I am an orphan. Now, can't some OF you
guess what it means?"
The blank look upon their faces remained,
until one of the duller scholars raised his
hand, and said, with no intention of being
saucy "It's some one who wants to get
married, and can't"

A WASH FOR FRUIT TREEs.-Some of
the agricultural papers are advertising caus--
tic potash or strong lye made from wood
ashes, as wash for fruit trees: This will
remove all the moss and rough bark, but
trees on which it has been used look red and
sort of burned, and soon have rougher bark
than ever. The following we have long u.s.
ed and know it to be much the better prep
aration. Buy common caustic soda if you
can get it; if not, buy sal-soda or common
washing soda; place it in an iron Kettle ana
over the fire graduady heat hen it, ;trbrng St o
caustic. Dissolve one pound of this in from
one to two gallons Of water, as the trees
have more or less rough bark and moss at
tached, and with it wash the trees. 1t will
remove all foreign matter as effectually as
the potash wash, and will leave the bark of
a healthy green color. Try it.

THIN OUT THE HENs.-It is too much
the habit of careless farmers to keep con-

florid, rhetorical, scattering and weary.
For four weary hours he talked at the
Court and the jury, until everybody felt

his opponent, grizzled old professional,
arose, looked sweetly at the judge, and
said:
