dome from Our Gaze,

A young man who underwent a
peculiar surgical operation some
months back, in conformity to a GER
tain ancient custom or rite usually
performed in the first few days of in
fancy, is reported to have eniigrated
to other and unknown lands. leaving
various aud sundry unpaid accounts
among newly made and trusting
friends. He failed in toto to CON
summate an anticipated connubial
alliance, all owing to certain irregu-
l%arities Of his character becoming
known in due time, and his plans were
in this happily checkmated. The
young man drifted this way two years
ago, and by his insinuating manners
won recognition, secured position and
pulled the wool over the eyes of many.
None have suffered, however, except
in a limited pecuniary way.

shaken, at least 4S hours before they
are shocked so as to allow the vines
to wilt, or they most assuredly mold
and the peanuts turn dark !; especially
if the weather be damp. The
diameter of shock should be about
the diameter of single vine, unless
the vines are very small. In COM
mencing a shock, for the first three
or four layers, the vines should be
laid on the rails with the peanuts ZIP !;
after that the nuts are turned down
and the vines are worked around the
stick until the proper height OF the
stack 81 to 6 feet, Is reached. eau
tion should be used not to have the
vines doubled up, as that increases
trouble in picking them and many
peas are so hidden that they are left
on the vines. Many persons, after
the shock is completed, wrap wisp
of straw on the top to partially shed
the rains.
The shocks renal. in the field
about three weeks to allow the peas
to cure. They are then picked in the
open field or hauled up to the barn
and housed. The cost CT picking is
10 cents per bushel. Strings should
not be left on the peas, as they injure
the sale. The bright and dark peas
should be assorted. The latter are
sold at about Ealf the price of the
bright. They are shelled by machin-
cry and either expressed into oil or
sold to candy manufacturers. The
return from these will sometimes
almost pay cost OF cultivation.
In preparing crop for market, they
are first passed through peanut fan
mill-which is so constructed, as to
produce a powerful blast, effectually
separating the bad nuts Tor pops)
from the good ones. They are then
put into large cylinder composed
of Stats and studded internally with
tenpenny nails, two or three bushels
at time. The cylinder is turned by
two or three men, and the dirt is re-
moved from the peas, and the nails
cut off the small strings lett by care
less pickers. The cylinder may be
driven by horse power where many
peas are to be handled. Care should
be observed not to lnjure the hulls
by over rubbing, the object being
only to clear or brighten them thor
oughly.
The yield per acre OIL good land,
when well cultivated, is from 30 TO 90
bushels, but larger crops are not in
frequent. A hundred bushels may
often be obtained.

the grape, paradoxical as it may APP
