tcrday the streets OF Milford leading
from the country to the factories were
lined with farm wagons loaded with
the pea vines. The peas are not picked,
as for market use, but the vines are her
vested and loaded by fork on the large
wagons and then hauled to the factories,
where they are cradled and shelled by
machinery. The vines are then taken

excellent hay for the cattle.
Toavoid congestion in the town streets

where the farmers may take their wagons
loaded with peas and have them shelled,
whence they are removed TO the can-
neries at later periods.
Heretofore, it was not an unusual
