PEANUT CULTURE.

In view OF the fact that the Com
missioner of Agriculture has been
sending out peanut seed all over the
State, some suggestions on the sub
ject will not be amiss. A correspon-
dent in the Southern Live Stock
Journal, says:
The proper time for planting pea
nuts in this climate is uunns the
months Of April and May, or after
all danger from frost has passed, as
but slight touch OF that element is
needed to kill the young plant. The
soil should be plowed and narrowed
until in fine filth, so as to be light
and free from all clods or other OBJ
structions. 1t must also contain a
large amount of lime in some form,
as this fertilizer is absolutely indis-
pensible TO the successful raising of
peanuts. Mari is said to be about
the best form in which lime can be
supplied. Animal or other manure
containing much nitrogen should not
be used as it tends to promote a heavy
growth of vine rather than the fruit.
The seed should be planted in fur
rows, the same as for corn, three feet
apart and about fourteen inches apart
in the row. They should be dropped
in holes to a depth of about an inch
and half, but not deeper than two,
and the soil carefully pressed upon
them with the foot.
In about two weeks after planting
the plants will be large enough to
show where replanting is needed.
The planter goes along the row max
ing the holes and dropping and COW
ering the seed at first.
Almost every planter has his own
plan of cultivating this plant, but the
above is about the sum and substance
of them all.

THE BEST DAIRY cow.

The yexed question as to which is
the best breed Of cows for the dairy
seems to have definitely settled in
the most sensible and practical way,
by putting each breed on trial for it's
merits through frst-class representa-
tives, under similar and fair condi-
tons, before competent and fair judg-
es. Such trial for seven consecu-
tive months has been conducted by
Prof. William Brown, of the Ontario
Experimental Farm, with twelve diff
terent breed tor butter, and also for
cheese. 1t has been generally ac-
knowledged that the Jerseys were
superior to all others for butter, but
it has been claimed by some that the
Holsteins were the best for cheese.
The record showed, however, that
the Jerseys made nearly third
more cheese than the Holsteins:
while Of butter the Jerseys made
nearly two and half times as much
as the Holsteins. The second in
merit were the Ayrshires, which
made one-ffth less cheese and one
half less butter than the Jerseys.
The Holsteins gave the largest
amount of milk, but of much poorer
and thinner quality as the expert
ments clearly proved. The same re-
suits were reached by the compare
tive tests for single day, made at
the fairs held at London and Toron-
to. The contest was to determine
the best breed for milk, butter and
cheese combined. The trial again
showed the Jerseys first, Ayrshires
second, while the Shorthorn grades
took third place, and the Holsteins
fourth. The number of pounds Of
milk to make one pound of butter in
these experiments was only fourteen
for the Jerseys, twenty-three for the
Ayrshires, twenty-nine for the Short
horn grades, and thirty-three for the
Holsteins. The amount of cheese
curd made from one hundred pounds
of milk was fifteen pounds six ounces
for the Jerseys, twelve pounds nine
ounces for the Ayrshires, and ten
pounds nine ounces for the Short
horns.
