ALL ABOUT PEANUTS.
How They Are Raised and Prepared For
the Market.


nov rAsy Arc Raised ana Prepared FOR
the Market.
Most Of the Virginia and North Caro-
lima peanut crop. which Ia about two
thirds Of the whole crop Of the couns
try, Is marketed in Norfolk and Peters
burg, Va; the rest. with the whole
crop Of Tennessee. is carried TO St
Louis or Cincinnati. In each Of these
cities are factories where the nuts as
they are delivered by the farmers are
bought. The nuts as they appear at
this stage. with earth and their stems
still clinging to them, are hardly TO be
recognized as the bright nuts we after
ward see on the corner stand.
To polish them, and to remove the
earth and stems. the nuts are secured
in large iron cylinders. from which
they pass through blast fans. in which
a strong current of air separates the
fully developed nuts having sound
kernels from those imperfectly filled,
and empty pods. The sound nuts fall
through the fan upon picking tables,
taken out. and the bright ones are
passed into sacks which will each hold
about 100 pounds OF nuts. Each sack
is marked with the brand which indi-
Gates the grade of its contents.
The dark and the partially filed
nuts are shelled, and the kernels are.
used by confectioners in making pea
nut candy The work Of picking over
and separating the nuts is performed
by little girls. about 20 of whom are
employed at every table.
Three varieties Of peanuts are grown
in this country, the white, the red and
the Spanish. The white, which is the
most Important variety, has nut with
two karnels. with pink skins; its vine
spreads along the ground. in this re-
spect unlike that of the red variety.
which grows more upright and in a
bunch.
The pod Of the red nut holds three
and sometimes four kernels, and has
deep red skin.
The Spanish is a much smaller nut
with lighter skin and milderl flavor
than either of the others possess The
entire crop is. shelled, and used espec-
tally in that rich CONNECTION known
as nougat.
In 1880 the consumption Of peanuts
in the United States was less than g.
000 600 bushels, In 1887 the amount
had increased to four and a third mill
ion bushels all of which was eaten in
the United States and Canada The
demand for peanuts has trebled in the
past few years, and the crop has never
been sufficient to supply the demand.
The peanut is q more useful product
than people in general think it to be.
The nuts contain from AZ to so per
cent. OF nearly colorless, bland, fixed
oil, which resembles olive oil. and is
used for similar purposes. This oil is
principally employed in the manu-
facture of the finer grades of soap.
In 1888 Virginia began to manu-
facture peanut flour. which makes a
peculiarly palatabe biscuit, and North
Carolina has long made pastry OF
pounded peanuts. 1t is also eaten for
dessert, and is roasted as substitute
for coffee.
The peanut is very nutritive. The
negroes use it in very ma ny places in
making porridge, custard, and prepare
from it beverage. The vine forms
fodder as good as clover hay, and.
hogs fatten on what they find ON the
fields after the crop has been gathered.

points agreed upon are that the 20" shall
take the Brotherhood men back as fast as

exceedingly well pleased with the 20" SET
tlement terms and said they we're such that
they would meet with the approval OF
brotherhood men. lie declined 10 make
the terms known, but said II was far from
an unconditional surrender on the part OF
the Brotherhood; that several items OF im-
portance - ;Ie Brotherhood had been con.
ceded by the Burlington officials.

HIS QUIET DAY.

INDIAHAPoLIs, Jan. b.-Gen. Harrison
did not have many distinguished callers TO-
day, and there was notice able decrease
in the number OF visitors. Judge Harrison
Allen, Of Fargo, Oak, who arrived yester-
day and had talk with Gen. Harrison.
was joined to-day by Judge Granville
Moody, of DeadwOod, Oak. Both gentle
men talk freely about what the people OF
Dakota want and expect from the new adj
ministration. Their views, however, do
not differ materially from those heretofore
chronicled from Governor Elect Melotte
and others Both Moody and Allen favor
the division uf Dakota, In fact, there has
not b.en a single visitor from that section
who has not favored aud urged division
About the only views they express that are
new 10 the public Is their violent opposi
tlon % Congressman Springer's sugges-
tl0ns To changing the name Of South Da-
k0ta to Winona OF some equally euphoni-
Gus and appropriate Indian name. This
they object 10. They want the old names,
North and South Dakota.
Among the other visitors who called to-
day were Glen Studebaker, OF South Bend.
Ind, and his brother, r. Il. Studebaker, OF
Chicago. They called to pay their respects
10 the general, who Is their old friend, and
incidentally IL is learned they have re-
ceived an order from him TO supply him

THE SIOUX LANDS.
Report OF the House commlt,ss Recommend

Report OF the House COMMITTEES Recommend
Ing the Division OF the Reservation
WAsnINGToN, Jan. 5.-The committee
on Indian affairs in the report accompany
ing the bill providing for the division OF the
Sioux reservation says: "The Sioux Indi-
ans are completely under the control OF a
few arrogant and self-conceited chiefs, and
these chiefs are largely under the control
OF the Northern Pacific and the Northwest

white or squaw men who, with few
chiefs, are reaping large fortunes from
the common property of their own people.

advised, owns lar amounts of real estate

with the prices they ask for theirs, the
market for their lands will be closed for
many years 10 come, so they, with their
mighty power. oppose the bill. The North
western railway company, running 10
Pierre. on the Missouri river, Is interested,
50 we are advised, In another road that
runs around this great reservation 20 the
Black Hills and does all the carrying trade
for this vast section. To open up this res
ervation would not only compel the North
western railway TO complete its own line
through to the Black Hills, thing they do
not want TO do. but IL forces the Chicago,
Milwaukee a. st. Paul and other competing
lines through. Therefore they oppose the
measure. The committee recommends
that the hill pass and asks congress TO give
these Indians all the land they can use and
teacu them governments are not created 10
support them, but to protect them, and like
other people they must work.

Object TO The Idea.

WAsHISGToE. Jan. 5-The sub-comnit
tee OF the senate finance committee to-day
gave hearing TO delegation interested IN
the sugar industry In Louisiana. Dymond,
who was the speaker, explained that the
delegation came 10 ask that the sugar
schedule, ns proposed by the senate tarif
bill, be modified, on the ground that so per
cent reduction In the duty on sugar would
ruin the sugar industry, not only in the
tropical cane of Louisiana but also the
beet sugar industry OF California and the
sorghum industry Of Kansas.
Parkinson and Representative Peters
spoke In behalf OF the sorghum sugar
producers In Kansas, asserting that II the
sugar tariff was undisturbed the business
would be greatly developed in the imme-
because II was likely tO be OF only tempo

which they will propose is not 10 continue
