AGRICULTURAL Lathyrus Sylvestris.—(Flat Pea.) This plant in its wild state has been long known in Central Europe, where it grows luxuriantly, in the forests, and other unoccupied places. It was of common observation, that Game of all Kinds Would Seek for it^ at all seasons of the year, even digging for it, from under the snow in mid-winter. This fact, its long life, luxuriant growth in times of drouth, and other characteristics, led Her Wagner, of Germany, about twenty years ago, to investigate its merits, as a forage plant, for domestic animals. In its wild state, the plant contains some bitter elements. These have been entirely eliminated, by the careful selection and cultivation of Prof. Wagner, until to-day, the improved Lathy- rus is the most valuable forage plant in cultivation. Not only is Lathyrus the most valuable plant for growing stock, but it is the most valuable for enriching the soil with nitrogen, that there is. Recent investigations have proved that the power of clover, to fertilize the soil, exists in a minute insect, in the tubercles of the roots. The roots of Lathyrus are covered with innumerable tubercles, and extending thirty feet into the soil, as they do; makes it the greatest fertilizing plant known. This great root development enables it to endure
