On good, rich land, aown early, you can geta great mass of fodder ant grain. Th ra rwback In the clder States ia the pea-weevil. The peas are affected with the "bung," and we do not sell them, but feed them out on the farm to pigs and shee.p, prin cplly to the former. Thme pigs do not oljet to the bugs. What the bugs think of it is not reported. The fan ning-mill will separate nearly ill the oate from the peas. No matter if a few of the split peas will remain with the oats. If cut before the oats get too ripa and the cr in carefully cured, the fodder is nearly as good an bay. As to the variety of peas, mow any that .on can buy cheap enough. The meedmen charge too much for it, or the white or b~lack-eyed marrow-fat would be good. The common Canada creeper or any other small, round pea answers a good purpe, and a bushel goes father than the larger varieties. We mean that it is not neceseary to mow them .a thick. Two buahels of three small peas and a bushel of oats is enough seed per acre. Thte marrow-ftats sbould he mown at the rate of not less than three bushela par acre and a bushel to a bushel and a half of oats, thoroughly mixed together. Earl mowing Is very deairable, and an mod can be plowed earlier in the spring than stubble land, we prefer to mow on and, putting in the sejd an fast as the land is plowed. The crop can be drilled in ormsowedbroadcaast. If a drill is used, kee the grain well mixed or the peas will be apt to slnk tothe hottom. If sown broadcast and the land is well plowed in narrow furrows, mow on the furrows before harrowing. Then harrow and roll and the peas will be wail covered.

Whatever a groom insy say, ltet horse drink just as much as lie likes. If lie lie watered four times a day, hit will never take very much, or toe much to lie gcod for him. A horse, it must lie remembered, Is fed on dr food, and this, with the strong wort done by a hunter, always produces feverishness, which at suffelency 01 water tends to slimy. BelI's Messenger, England, says that time caliecit, of the horse's stomach Ii alosit sm'ct.'ei quarts. This fact should he borne In mind by thmisie who have charge of horses. In feeding grain to horses it is important that It shiould he fed at such a timte that it may remain in the stomach as long as need he to me. cire it complete digestion. The nltro genous elementi, in which grain is rich er thani other foods, are better digested in the stomach titan in the Iintestines. The grain should be fed after time hay bisa been eaten, and no other food or drink should he gtve-n-for-moenelmfne af ter, so that the grain may remain in time stomach until it Is fully digested. If the grain is fedi first, and then a ration as, for instance-, of seven poumnds of hay, the grain will ite speedily forced from the stomach iy time hay. In eating time hay, it will be mixed with four times it'. weight of saliva, and an hour and a half will be required for masticating it. In order to Imave the stomach digest well. It should not contain more than tenm quarts at a time, and in eating seven pounds of hay. the animal swallows at least two atom. achfnls of hay and saliva, one of these having pase on into time intestines. If the grain liad been tedl first, before the hay, the grain would have speedily ieassed out of the stomach Into the Intestines, where it would digest less comple.tely than if allowed to remain in the stomiach. It is the office of the stomach to digest the nitrogenous parts of the foods, and as the oastorecorn contain four' or five times as much of these as the same amount of hay, It Is obviously more important to have the grain subjected to the full action of the geattleji'Js them to have the hay is. tleth re gese Ia feeding grain M shoeld be fed silse Urns hay nalle. bas baeuesatem.
