Peas are of two classes, the round
and the wrinkled. The latter kind. if
sown in cold. wet soil, will rot; the
round peas ar hardy. and may be sown
as soon as the ground thaws. Make a
drill three or four inches wide, with the
hoe, and scatter the seed peas in it, so
that they will be about half an inch
apart, and cove with two inches of
soil.-Cgereland Leader.
Although every well regulated farm
ran boast q garden where delicacies are
raised for the home table. there are
still many new farms or which this i'm
portant spot has not yet been set aside.
Even half an acre may be made to pro-
duce enough fruits and small vegetables
for a family whose table without these
luxuries would be bare indeed. Start
the garden early. Do not allow it to
take the last chauce.--.N. Y. Herald.

If you want to grow huckleberries,
says w. j. Scott in the Hasbafdman.
set out young plants. about a foot high
in the spring. Mulch them for q year
or two. and pillow in some coarse horse
manure occasionally. They are slow
to start. but after they are started they
grow rapidly both in bush and berry.
The bushes may be cultivated with a
horse. They should be set at least
seven feet apart each way, as they
spread considerably when full grown.
1t is well to set three or four small
bushes in each hill.
"A witness was objected to in the
trial Of a suit about . party wall in
Baltimore, Md, on account of his re-
ligious belief. The presiding Justice
said that the Constitution of the State
provides that q witness shall believe in
God, but does not undertake 10 define
what is meant by that word. If a man
believes in moral responsibility and a
system of rewards and punishments in
this world or n to come. he is a com.
petent witness. The witness said that
he did SO believe. and til Judge said:
''Then you are as competent a witness
as any man in Maryland"
