ANS.—Currants are borne on wood two or more 
years old, hence the Importance of keeping ud a sup¬ 
ply of vigorous youEg shoots. Cut out all the oldest, 
feeblest sh'ots, but cot necessarily all the old wood. 
Prune enough to keep the head open and the 
branches evenly distributed. That’s about the whole 
story.

Ans. —Edward F. Dibble. Uoneoye Falls, N. Y. lie 
has the general ageccy for the United States. 
OATS AND Peas for Swine.— 1. Does The R. N.-Y. 
approve of sowing oats and held peas together, 
especially for swine food? 2. If so, when and how 
should the same be sown, and what proportion of 
each per acre? .3. Where can Nott's Excelsior peas 
be obtained? o. t. 
Glenwood, ted. 
Ans.— 1. Yes, although we do not conslderthe mix¬ 
ture of any advaniage over peas alone for swine. 
The only advantage that we can see Is that the oats 
will support the peas somewhat aid prevent their 
going down sj hat on the ground. 2. At the usual 
lime for sowtrg spring grain, about m bushel of 
each per acre. A good way Is to drill the peas hrst, 
about four Inches deep, then sow the oats the usual 
depth. 3. Of J. J. II. Gregory & Sons, Marblehead
