pea vines are an excellent fertilizer,
but opinion varies as to whether they
should be plowed under whiltit still
green or aflf-r thpy ore dead and dryt
It Is a point which'cao be decidod finally
and beyond doubt by experiment only.
A'eufficient number of properly plan
ned and 1 carefully ; executed experi
ments have not been made to decide
the question so lar as we know, but
we may draw some inference from the
general experience of formers. Agri
cultural journals have taught very
generally th.e great good resulting
front turning under green crops. Un
til a comparatively recent period, th
journals read by our farmers have been
published ai the North, where condi
tions am quite different from those in
the Soulh and where it may be best or
at least quite as well to turn green
matter under, because if done lato in
Autumn (the usual time) the ground
gets locked up In ice before much de
composition of the green stuff can
take place. "; Not only so, if decomposi
tion does take place (he soil being lock
ed op in ice, no loss of soluble products
from leaching; occurs. Now those of
our farmers who look , at -things
through northern 'journal lave insen
sibly to themselves become advocates
of taming under vegetable' matter
when green. For a, long time this was
tb popular doctrine r all , over the
South.' But when this In 'some way
became questioned and the matter was
tested by observation eod experience
very many earne U the conclusion that
it was bevter to let the plttrits d"ie and
remain until the latter part of. winter
or ear spring before they are: buried
by tja plor We think the prepoDder
oncfl of opinion among farmer is now
on that side of the qoestlon. We think
chemical teaching is also, am, the side
of this majority. Pea vfueiipecially,

ever, by turning under pea vines in

vines will soon tuko place, aud nitrates

The Value r Civility.
i There would be fewer broken friend
ships, fewer unhappy' unions and fami
ly quarrels, were it not so much the
custom among intimate friends and re
lation? to neglect the small courtesies
of life to show loss and less mutual
doference as they grow more and more
familiar. It is the foundation of mis
ery in marriage, and many . a serious
and life-long estrangement has . begun,
not from wnut of flection so much as'
from that delicate and instinctive ap
prec'ation of the "feelings of others
which makes a persgn shrink from say
ing unpleasant things or finding fault,
unless absolutely obliged,' and In any
case to 'avoid wtmndiug the offender's
sense of dignity or stirring up within
him feelings of opposition and animos
ity ; for, although many persons pro
fess to be above taking offense at hon
est censure, and even seem to court
criticism, yet it must be carefully ad
ministered so os not te be unpalatable.
Even kind, generous actions are often
souncouctbiy performed aa to cause
more pain than pleasure, while a 're
proof or denial may be so sweetened by
courtesy as to do away with. 'any sense
of mortification or disappointment.
Good breeding is always inclined to

others the credit of being actuated by
wormy motives, it does not wish br
