Pea Vine Hay, To Cure
Those who raise peas to any extent will lie surprised to see how stock will relish the vines in winter, if properly cured, and the best way to do it is to build a pen 3 rails high; then floor it over with rails and build up 3 or 4 rails more, according to how green the vines are, and fill in the vines; floor again, build up and fill in until 10 or 12 feet high; then cover to shed the rain perfectly. Like bean straw, they will not bear deep pack ing, but still they are too valuable a feed for stock to be thrown away. And when oats are sown with them, as they generally should be, the oat straw gives an additional relish and object to save them.
