By raising in hotbeds and transplanting, the first crop may be gathered in the beginning of May; and by raising and maturing in pits, pease may be gathered in April. The pea, however, does not force well, and requires extraordinary attention to giving air, otherwise the blossoms will not set. The culture of the pea is known to every countryman. The grey pea, cultivated in agriculture, is by some considered as a species, though it is obviously a mere variety, not further removed from the frame pea than is the blue Prussian, or the crown pea. A dry soil and season is essential for a good crop, unless the plants can be supported by sticks like the garden crops. The seed is chiefly used for feeding pigs, and splitting for soup. In boiling split pease, some samples, without reference to variety, fall or moulder down freely into pulp, while others continue to maintain their form. The former are called boilers. This property of boiling depends on the soil; stiff land, or sandy land that has been limed or marled, uniformly produces pease that will not melt in boiling, no matter what the variety may be. Pease straw cut green and dried, is reckoned as nourishing as hay, and is considered as excellent for sheep. The produce of pease in flour is as three to two of the bulk in grain, and husked and split for soups as four to two. A thousand parts of pea flour afforded Sir H. Davy 574 parts of nutritive or soluble matter; viz. 501 of mucilage, or vegetable animal matter, 22 of sugar, 35 of gluten, and 16 of extract, or matter rendered insoluble during the operation.

They yield sylvatica and cracca, where they occur in meadows, are considered valuable herbage plants. They yield great bulk of fodder, which is allowed to be very nutritive. Some have proposed to cultivate them alone, but Curtis observes, they would probably in that case choke themselves for want of support. V. sativa, the winter and summer tare, fetch or vetch, is a valuable agricultural plant. Some consider the winter variety as a distinct species; but Professor Martyn proved, by cultivating both, that they were not ORDER IV.

The winter variety is sown in September and October, and the summer at different periods, from February to June, for successional cuttings. The soil requires to be in a good heart, otherwise they will produce but a poor crop of herbage: on a good soil they will yield ten or twelve tons, which is found excellent for milch cows and working stock. The crop is seldom left to ripen its seeds, but when seeds are wanted; the only use made of them being for sowing or feeding pigeons. V. narbonensis and serratifolia are cultivated in Germany in the same manner as our tare. Vicia sepium has been recommended to be sown among clover for mowing. been recommended to be sown among clover for mowing.

V. Faba is a well known legume both of the garden and the field. The garden varieties are numerous; the earliest is a small seeded variety, the Mazagan, and the largest the Windsor. Beans are planted at the various times in which pease are sown; but the late sowings of this plant do not answer so well as those of the pea. When the ground is properly pulverised and in good heart, they succeed well when transplanted; and where a first crop is injured by insects, if the stems are cut down to the ground during their flowering season, they will send up a succession of shoots, which will bear a crop. In this way, according to some, the bean may be rendered perennial, as it is certain the scarlet kidney bean may by merely protecting the roots from the frost.

The field bean, of which there is a larger and smaller sort, the latter called ticks, is sown in drills by a machine, so as to admit of horse hoeing, and otherwise ploughing or stirring between the rows. By this means a larger crop is produced, and the land cleaned and brought into a better state for a succeeding corn crop. Beans are excellent food for hard working horses, and för fatting hogs for bacon. The flower of beans and pease is more nutritive than that of oats, but less easy of digestion. A bushel of beans is supposed to yield fourteen pounds more of flour than a bushel of oats, and a bushel of pease eighteen pounds more, or, according to some, twenty pounds. A thousand parts of bean flour were found, by Sir H. Davey, to yield 570 parts of nutritive matter, of which 426 were mucilage or starch, 103 gluten, and 41 extract, or matter rendered insoluble during the process. 1562. ER'VUM. W.
