length Of time. II the fertility of the
soil is kept up and good crops secured.
rotation is really necessary. Yet any
one who has raised cane or potatoes
knows from experience that if tho
best results are secured clean culiiva-
ton is essential. II tEis is given rs

1t is necessary, of course. that ma.
nure should be applied. rs raising the
same crop continuously is certain ia

variety of plant to n more or less ex-

Make it point TO thoroughly pre-
pare the soil Getting the land in good

Peanut Culture.

A correspondent asks for instruc-
lions on peanut culture. This is a
Southern plant and needs a warm
climate in which to grow to the best
advantage. But. by means Of skilful
culture, it can be grown much farther
north than was once supposed. and
it will succeed well in the South
western States. Though formerly
grown largely at the South for feed
ing to hogs. and even now used TO
some extent for this purpose. the pea
nut has become an article of great
market value. Almost wholly un-
known at the North twenty years ago.
it is now for sale in nearly every viii
lagc. town and city in the land.
Where the eli mate is favorable. the
cultivation of this crop is not diff
iicult. John f Read says that a soil
that is rich and reasonably dry should
be chosen. and if the crop is designed
for market. a light solorel soil will
prove the best. This because a dark
soil colors the pods. and. though they
are just as good for all practical
purposes. the dark pods will not sell
rs readily as the light-colorcd ones.
Lime seems 10 he specific manure
for this plant though it should not be
used alone. but in connection with \
good quality of compost. The plow-
ing should he done early in the spring.
and should be only four or five inches
deep. The surface must be made very
mellow by means of harrow or culti-
vstor. Then rows may be marked
out. three feet apart. by blowing q
light furrow.
Into this trench the manure should
lie thrown and fnrrow turned over it
upon each side. This will cover the
manure and make ridge upon which
the peas should be planted. two in a
hill in hills three feet apart. The
planting should not be done until the
ground is quite warm. The soil
should be kept mellow and free from
weeds but after the vines begin to
spread they must not be disturbed.
The earth may be carefully drawn up
TO the hills. but care must be taken
not to cover the vines at any time. If
there are vacant places in the rows
they may be filed by transplanting
from q row in which an extra
quantity Of seed was planted. in order
to supply such demand. When the
vines have been killed by frost the
harvesting may 10 done. The earth
can be loosened with . fork and the
vines with mos. of the pods adhering
to them, DO pulled by hand. og the
