Soil for Garden Peas
Thea let us have a goodly row of
garden peas,; the dwarf ones for first
early, the half dwarf for second and
the tall ones for main crop. These
with succession planting will give peas
to eat from the time the first ones
are ready to pick in sixty to sixty-
five days until the heat of midsum-
mer makes their growth impractic-
able.
To get the fine results we desire
with garden peas they must have a
mellow, loamy soil, well filled with
humus and enriched with well -rot-
ted manure dug in the trench, and the
situation must be one which will
0 strains which have developed this
quality under selection. This makes
the space occupied by the early peas
available for the use of later crops.
Support the Vines
Garden peas should have frequent
cultivation and be kept free from
weeds. The late ones will do best if
mulched when the days get warn, in
order to keep the roots cool. Any
strawy litter will do for the mulching.
Put it on and between the rows and
water freely. It will also keep down 1
the weeds.
There are a number of materials
used for supporting pea vines. The
original one was "brush," the twiggy
branches of young trees. This is still
by far the best. The use of strings,!
run ;from poles and brackets, is a
rather poor way to support the vines.
When brush is used the rows can-
not be so close together as when net-
ting is used. With brush a good
way is to plant the Tows eighteen
inches apart and set the brush 'be-
tween them, making a double row.
The next row should be set three feet
from the first, and another double row
formed, and continue thus.

A high -producing dairy animal is a
delicate and -well balanced piece of ma-
chinery, and consequently she cannot
continue normal production if site is
exposed to severe winter weather. It
is therefore essential that the discom-
forts incident to cold weather be elimi-
nated if possible. The comfortable

labor for her. protection. Dairymen as

than the average farmer who merely
produces the milk for family use,
Cows frequently refuse to drink the
water in an icy trough. A cow Must
be thirsty, indeed, before site will fill
herself with freezing water, It is
necessary, in view of the fact that
milk contains about eighty-seven per
cent, water, to worm the drinking wa-
