Use for Peanut Vines.


Do you know if peanut vines can be
used protitably for hay? asks u CORE
spondent. Personally we have had no
experience with them, but upon gen.
eral principles they would commend
themselves for this purpose Mr.. B.
w. Jones, of Virginia, peanut dis
trict. has said that if they are dug and
cured before frost touches them. and
before the leaves fall TO any great ex-
tent, peanut vines make very good
provender for all stock. Some say il
is better than blade fodder for horses
and mules, but we are not prepared
to advance this extravaganza claim
for it 1t is. however. certainly an ex-
cellent article for fodder for cattle,
sheep, mules and horses, and if many
sap peanuts are left on the vines,sstock
that is not worked much. will neeu NO
other feed during the winter months
to keep them in good condition. He
says that most planters. accordingly.
make it an object to try to have the
vines for hay. and aim to dig the
crop before they are injured by frost.
After killing frost touches them,
the vines are next to worthless as n
feed. In fact. PROSTITUTION peanut vines
are harmful, rather than beneficial,
to stock. often causing ee.dics. and
endangering the life of valuable
horse or mule. Peanut vines. even
the best of them, unharmed by frost,
should not be fed very largely to
horses. There is always a good deal
of grit and dust upon them, and much
of this taken into the stomach, can
not but be more or less harmful to the
ANIMALS.
But Mr. Jones affirms that despite
these few drawbacks, peanut hay has
proved TO be y valuable forage. and
one that the peanut planter could not
we'll dispense with. inasmuch as so
many do not make enough of other
forage to serve them, and must, there
fore, depend on the peanut crop to
help them out. Thus the planter is
benefited in several ways through
this crop. He gets valuable staple
to sell. and one that always commands
the ready cash, he fattens his hogs on
the pods left in the ground. and
he secures large amount of very
good hay in the vines. Thus he is
doubly nefitted. and no matter how
low the price Of peanuts may be, the
farmer does not, and can not, ordi-
narlly. lose much on the cultivation of
this great crop. II he does not risk

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
The Preparation Of the Land for a
Corn Crop.

Because of the great variety of soils.
location and conditions of lands, and
the pre-conceived idea of the great
multitude of corn raised, it is very
difficult for any writer to lay down
fixed plans for all to follow in the
preparation and cultivation of that
very important crop. viz: corn. We're
we asked what time is best to begin
work to insure an abundant harvest,
we would answer: on lands that had
been long in cultivation, at least two
seasons before planting The seed
corn, our first season we would as
early as May. sow that wonderful
land restorer, the corn pea, broadcas
which in about eight or ten weeks
would have made sufficient growth to
cover the land; turn this entirely
under with good two horse pillow
and re-seed the land with rye. even
as early as August Is to September
l. This will provide late fall and
winter pasture enough to more than
pay for all labor and cash expended
for seed. Let the stock be taken off
the land two or three weeks before
breaking up for spring planting, you
will then have another green crop to
turn under before planting. BY all
means do not break the land while
it is wet; watch for dry
spell in early spring blowing, and
break deep with two horse plows; let
the land lay few days to dry out. then
follow with large steel-tooth harrow.
Now You have land in suitable con-
dition for seeding with the planter.
which'is always preferable to plant
ing by hand. because the seed is
dropped at regular distances, planted
and covered at proper depths. the
rows straighter, and consequently.
cultivation very much facilitated.
lid the land to be planted been
cropped the previous season. then be-
gin work as early in the fall after crop,
either corn or cotton, is gathered as
quick as possible. Take nothing from
the land as some do. by burning stalks
and other trash, but chop them up
with a good stalk cutter where they
stand, and follow the stalk cutter with
such two-horse pillow as will turn
them under where they rot during the
winter months, thereby benefitting the
soil. saving the labor of pulling and
burning stalks, putting them out of the
way of cultivating to purpose, and
thus treated, will be ready for plant
ing much earlier than if left to care
for itself until spring work pushes the
cropper. in which case something must
be neglected. On all bright days
during the winter let the Dragroad
scraper be kept at work
cleaning up stock lots. gin house
lots, the sediment from ponds and
creek bottoms. This accumulation
thrown into heap, with stable
manure and surplus cotton seed, and
small proportion of bone meal and
forked over once or twice, will supply
an inexpensive and invaluable fer
tiiizer. Open your drill and apply
400 TO 500 pounds of the above CON-
post per acre. By all means plant
none but sound, select seed corn, and
we feel assured at harvest time you
will siy surely / am paid many fold
for my trouble by the great increase
in my yield of corn. Later, time per-
uniting, we will make few notes on
the cultivation of corn. Western Ri
