peas can be put in next for what.
ever purpose one prefers; and
then turnips or rape can be put
in for the third crop.
Mr.. Lindorf, of Aberdeen,
sowed English peas broadcast
and when the peas were ripe in
pretty good numbers he drove
his hogs in on them. He made
so much pork and saved so much
corn that he was delighted with
the experiment. This makes
one very safe in sowing English
peas, as they are good for nan
or beast. II the market does
not offer good price for them
when they are green. they can
be kept for stock feed in either
the green or ripe state. When
sown broadcast they do not
need stakes. They can be
thrcshcd out when dry or fed
with the hay. II is very con.
vcnient to have a stack right be-
side the hog lot, as the feeding
is then done conveniently.
