Pea Stuavv. — Not long since, I saw a coiiiiiuinication 

 rom some brotlier farmer out west, staling that pea 

 itraw was enlirtl)' wortlileis. I tliinic liis saying thus, 

 ivas in consequence of liis never having tested llie value 

 jf it. Last year 1 raised a fine crop of llie green pea, 

 ind waa careful to preserve them from storms. I got 

 ;hem into the barn in a good condition, an 1 wintered 

 my sheep on the straw, without grain or roots, and nev- 

 ;r had my sheep look better than they do lliis spring. — 

 I think there is no straw better worth saving llian pea 

 jtraw, if properly laUtn caie of and preserved Ironi tlie 

 weather. Let some other person try them and lell us 

 ,he result. — Gen. Far. 



Salt Petke. — Jixperiments in France have proved 

 that saltpetre is prejudicial to the growth and inju.ious 

 ;o the quality of the sugar beet. Hence the importance 

 jf selecting soils and muciures that do not contain it. — 

 rhe earth under barns and other buildings, is highly 

 sharged v^iih it, and consequently should never be used 

 IS a manure for a crop preparatory to the beet. — Silk
