KITCHEN GARDEN.
In warm sites, sow peas (those of an early kind), and also broad beans. Peas sown now will be well forward by tho time the frosts are over, and will come into bloom during September or early in October, and will bear wellfilled pods by the first- week in .November. Not a great deal of seed sowing and planting can be dono in tho kitchen garden at the present time, but there is plenty of work to bo done in lilting parsnips, carrots, beet, etc.— these to bo stored in a pit when in a dry condition. Some advocate leaving such in the soil till needed. This may be wise in keeping the roots from losing value, but during wet weather it is a disadvantage in the handling when wanted. If lifted and stored in a pit they retain their fresh condition it a long time. With tho ground clei.red of cron, the soil may be turned over roughly, and left exposed to the frosts. srow and rain, and will be greatly benefited thereby. Such exposure will break the soil down like flour.
