Growing Peas for Hogs.

Theodore Louis, in Farm. Stock and Home.
Many inquiries nave come to hand in re-
gard TO raising peas for hogs. and this
article will answer oil. The depth AZ
which peas are planted. IN different soils
and under different climatic conditions.
varies much. AS peas are not q surface
feeder, they should be put In at the depth
OF the normal moisture line. On oar sandy
five inches the best depth. To ascertain
this intelligently for each different locality
and soil. one can for several years make
test in his garden with o field variety OF
different dents.
To feed in o green state, we either use tho
common plsnof hogginG them of or soil
ing when neatly ready for table use. We
SOW them broadcast by hand. using two
and one-half bushels per acre. and plow
them under. five inches deep, early In the
late sowing. IL the lane Is hard baked and
smooth it should be narrowed first, so as to
prevent peas from rolling. We then sow
one-half bushel of oats per acre and harrow
twice.
The result has varied the last four years
as follows: 1885, q bushels per acre: lSyO.
Al bushels per acre: 1901, AZ bushels: 1892. "a
bushels. The above yields were peas with
out oats. In 1SSSthey were q partial failure.
In regard to threshing our ex Experience has
been that if wanted for seed the old-fash-
toned fail Is best: IL matters little IL all the
concaves are taken out of the thresher. 10
will split more than one-half of the peas.
Various methods are advised for harvest
ing. Our experience has been, taking one
year with another, that moving them with
the ecythe is the best method. They are
then windrowed with little labor and
stacked ont of the windrows.
We retain our fresh peas for feeding
brood sows and pigs. grinding peas u
corn together in equal paris We find
scalding the feed twelve hours before
feeding an advantage; even m~oistening
It would be better than dry.
