HOW TO RAISE PEANUTS.

Editors EVENING LIGHT
Before l became "one-horse far
mer," it was a matter of surprise with
me that none of the farmers in Bexar
county gave their attention to the cul-
tivation of peanut. 1t certainly can
be made to pay in some portions OF
of this county. In the eastern portion,
or Polander settlement and in the Som
erset settlement in the southwestern
part of the county, l am salts
fed that it will pay bet
ter than corn or cotton IN
those sections. If for no other pur-
pose than to fatten hogs; but l am
satisfied that San Antonio will consume
all that can be raised, and will pay
good price for them, the dealers there
now have to send to the Carolinas and
Georgia for their supply, when this
money should be kept at home.
The cultivation is very simple, not
costing more than corn, nor as much
as cotton. For the benefit of foreign
ers or northern people l will give you
the plan of cultivation as followed in
the old peanut state, the birthplace of
Greeley No. 2.
BY the way, if l were Greeley, l
would sue the Express for damages.
1t may make no difference, but with
strangers it is bound to have effect.
Such a face, and to think that it is in
tended for my old friend Greeley.
Goodbye, old fellow, your occupation
is gone, you will never now make the
good people believe that January is
the proper time to plant corn.
But to the pea nut. In selecting
your soil, let it be where there was
hoed crop the previous year as the
pea nut delights in clear soil: it must
have some sand in it; let the color be
as light as possible, as the nut partakes
of the color of the soil, and bright
nut is the most marketable. Let it be
very mellow, do not pillow it more than
three inches deep, but to that depth 1t
must be as mellow as possible; throw
up your ridges, three feet apart to the
height of three or four inches, not
more; this must be done by the first
of March, or earlier, that they may have
rain on them before planting time,
which should be about the Ist ofApril,
or after all danger of frost is over.
Now, being ready to plant, you will
take bull-tongue or shovel pillow, and
run down the middle of your bed to
the depth of two or three inches; let
boy follow, dropping two nuts in each
place, about fifteen inches apart. Let a
man follow him, covering the nuts to
the depth of two inches with hoe.
In about three weeks, or as soon as
the nuts are well up, take a one-horse
turning pillow and 60 as close to the
plant as possible-the bar of the pillow
next to the plant-throwing the earth
from the plant. You now follow with

The Oury Banner.

From this time on until election day, in November, we will see the 0ury banner swung to ths masthead of our Democratic Territorial exchanges. With the setting of the sun on that day the flag will droop and Ouray will be sailing up Salt or some other muddy stream. His record this term has been one of failure upon failure. and how the Democracy could be % blind e to to bite at his bait is a wonder to the Republi- cans, who are more than pleased with the nomination. To Nr. Masterson, Mir. Oury may refer hereafter as the 6r1t to put him in nomination, therefore too blame for sending him to & political grave. Campbell was, by far, the strongest man in the Democratic ranks, except, perhaps, Judge Anderson. Campbell would have drawn heavily from the Republican ranks in the Northern coun- ties and boiled the full strength of his party south, while Mr. Oury will not, and cannot expect it. Men are measured by their acts.

New Surveyor-General.

As the BiIsEk- predicted last January, and since. J. W. Robbins is the new Sur yeyor- G General for Arizona, vice Wassol, time expired. While we are pleased extremely with the appointment of MT. Robbins, we must give credit to Mir Wasson as being 6 good Survesor-General. In fact his papers were ccnsidered the best gotten up of any of the territories. Mr. Robbins has had considerable experience in the surveying business. therefore doesn't come into an office to which he is an entire stranger. President Arthur promised the office to Mir. Robbins in our presence last winter, but asked him to wait until the expiration of Mir. Wassors term. Grant, Conkling, Nickerson and others asked this for Mir. K. We hope and believe he will make head quarters at Prescott Gradually this par ticular section IS coming into prominence. and to those who nave been chuckliLg m their sleeves about the removal of the Capi- tai, Headquarters of the Military, etc, we say, gentlemen, your levity IS likely to be come very bitter pill The next thing We want Is a new man for Internal Revenue. It's more than probable VIC will hre to see tine change.

Now the number has increased to twice that number. From the Orange Order there has sprung up other orsani- cations, such as the "Grand Black Knights of the Camp of Israel" 'The Mcdonald Clans;" ''The Gowans of Can ads," etc. In Mantreal, Quebec, Toronto and other large cities in Canada the po- lice is generally on the alert July l2th for any disturbance that might arise be- tween those wearing of the Green and Orange badges, and the Catholics.

Setting His Mark High.

The Boston Journal says: Soon after inc late Horace Maynard entered Am herst College, he put on the door of his room large letter V. Its presence ex- posed him to questions and ridicule; but paying no attention to either, he kept the letter in its place. At the end of four years graduation day came, and MT. May nard was appointed to deliver the vale
 dictory. After having received the com pIiments of the faculty and .he students of the college for the honor he had re- ceived, NIT. Maynard called the attention of his Undergraduates to the letter V over the door of his room, and asked if they then understood what was meant by the letter V. After short reflection they answered, "Yes. yaledictory." He re- piled you are right" His fellows then aslel # he had the valedictory on his

To MEASURE AN ACRE.-Few farmers know the size of their fields or now many acres they contain. A field of the wri- ter's, before it came into his possession, had been plowed and reapsd by contract for fifteen acres. On measuring 1t, 1t vas found to have but l2 acres. It is desirable, in fact indispensable, for good work. that & farmer should know how many acres each field contains, for other wise he cannot apportion seed or manure for it, nor can he tell how much time 1t should require to be plcwed. A measu- ring cord should be part of the furniture 9n eysry fssrn. To make one, procure si1ty-seven feet of strong rope, one ipch round; make loop or fasten a ring or bar at eaeh aHd, snd make these exactly sixty-.ix feet apart. This is four rods. Then tie piece of red rag in the center. One acre of ground will be piece four of the cords {chains) long and two and one asal vide, egasl F sivteea hy ten rods, making l6o square rods to one acre. The advantage of the ring or loop is that one person can msaspre aipuB p, ,ir,,.... Q stake in the ground to hold the rope while he stretches it out. The rope should he soaksd n tar and dried, which will prevent 1t from shrinking when vet. - Farming Journal.
