Culture of Spanish Peanuts.

The only point of difference between
the culture of the ordinary varieties OF
peanuts and the Spanish" SO far as
we are aware, is due to the smaller
size of the plant of the latter, and its
upright habit of growth, which permits
of much closer planting. A few gen.
eral remarks will be given, while we
would be glad to have more detailed
article from some farmer who has had
special experience in growing Spanish
peanuts for stock.
The best soil for peanuts is one hav-
ing a gray surface layer, underlaid
by clay sub-soil, and containing a
good percentage of lime. If de-
ficient in the latter element, lime in
some form must be added. Nothing
is better than mari; ashes are excel
emit; land plaster is good; but no stable
manure, cotton seed, or other ammo
mated manures should be used, as the
peanut plant belongs to the same order
with clover Qeguminosa), and, like
clover, requires no ammonia as a fer
tilizer. The lime seems to be re-
quired chiefly in order to make availa-
BILE to the plant the potash in the soil.
Hence we safely eonclude-and ex-
perience, as well as analysis, sustains
the conclusion-tha potash is the
dominant element required by the pea
nut plant. Therefore ashes are a good
fertilizer.
Whatever variety is planted, great
care should be taken to secure perfect
ly sound seed. Prepare the land q il
for cotton, and at about the same time,
putting fertilizers in the opening fur
row and bedding in rather low beds.
For ordinary kinds, three-foot rows are
about the usual distance and twenty
four inches apart in the row. For
Spanish peanuts the rows may be a
little closer. and the plants eighteen
inches or less. Shell the peanuts by
hand, rejecting all shriveled or faulty
peas. and taking care not to break the
thin skin covering the kernels. Open
burrows as if for cotton, drop one seed
in place, and cover not more than
one and half inches. Cotton-planting
time is also the time for planting pea.
nuts. The subsequent cultivation
must be such as to keep the sur
face soil mellow and free from grass,
avoiding tearing up the vines when
they have sent down the seed stems in
to the soil. The culture OF the Spanish
peanut is very easy, owing to its more
upright habit of growth. One bushel
of peas in pod will usually shell a peck,
whichsis sufficient to plant an acre.
They are worth lin Georgia. from sew
enty-five cents (now) to one dollar and
quarter bushel Tin spring..
The Spanish variety may be planted
as late as July in the latitude of Ma
con, Ca, or jackson, Miss. We have
seen two full crops grown on the same
land in Troup County, Ga, the second
crop having been planted with seed
just harvested of the first crop

HERE AND THERE.

1t has been found that the goose
can stand the weather until the ther-
mometer goes to sixty-four degrees be-
low zero. Then her feathers won't
save her. Wild ducks can go twelve
degrees lower and come out on top.
Take advantage of every dne day
and give the plants good ventilation
whenever the weather will permit. al
though care should be taken not to
allow cold draught of air to blow de
rectly upon them.
Never enter a sick room in state
of perspiration, as the moment you be-
come cold your pores absorb. Do not
approach contagious diseases with an
empty stomach, nor sit between the
sick and the fire, because the heat att
tracts the thin vapor.
Who should keep Sheep Every
man or woman who cultivates the soil
on which they reside. If a good ac-
count of epexnses and sales are kept
there will always be balance in favor
of sheep breeding - Western AgrtcWtt-

How are the mutton lambs mothers
doing? asks the Rural World. Much
depends upon what kind of treat
ment they are getting. Something for
nothing need not be expected in lamb
raising any more than in any other
business in this world.
-Catalpa can be propagated from
seed which should be kept dry until
the spring when they can be planted.
It is better to soak the seed a little
while at least before planting. After
they receive a good start to grow they
can be transplanted without any
| trouble.

To judge from it's remarks last

MARKETS FOR COUNTRY PRODUCE.

Does it ever strike any one how
difficult it is to get a market for
island raised commodities?
1t is a fact, however, that such is the
case, and every now and then the
matter is brought home to people.
40 fa- 90 Honolulu IS concerned

other. A few dollars spent in adver-
Using will reach every one in the
city. But in the country it is very
different. People do not see all the
papers, and so do not see all the ad-
Vertisements, moreover there are
many things that people do not ad-
vertise. We have known people to
DO consuming the cart grease which
is shipped down here as butter from
California, when within twenty-five
or thirty miles of them there was the
finest kind OF butter being manufac-
tured and seeking for sale at ten
cents pound less than the detesta-
BILE California product. We have
known of a man eagerly seeking for
a horse and another man hawking
half a dozen horses round the coun-
try at one and the same time. The
former had to put up with an infer

We have known excellent poultry,
say turkeys, fetching only ten dol
lars a dozen, when in Honolulu the
same birds were commanding any
where from twenty-four to thirty
dollars a dozen, and so on ad intini-
tum.
Now there is a remedy for this.
The difficulties here are the bad
roads, the long distances, the scat
tered population. There have been
the same difficulties in every new
and sparsely settled country, and
they have been met in the same way
for at least 5000 years, and probably
for very much longer. The whole
solution lies in the establishing OF
markets. Say that market will be
held at Kahului, on the Island OF
Maui, once a month. Everyone who
has a horse or two to sell, everyone
who has few head of fat cattle,
everyone who has farm produce OF
any kind would resort to that center
and buyers, not only from the Island
OF Maui, but from other islands
would very soon come round. Each
island should have its market center
and so large an island as Hawai-
should have at least four or five. Fl
other countries such things receive
their impetus from the people; il

THE BRITISH NAVAL ESTIMATES

v u Is
Proposed Increase in the Navy-Much
Stronger Now than the Frenoh.y
In the course of the discussion in
the House of Commons December
18th on the naval estimates, Lord
Charles Beresford stated that Eng
lands active fleet comprised thirty
line-of-battle ships, and if these were
lost it would possibly result in the
loss of the empire. The government
ought to spend G20,00O,000 annually.
The navy required at once seventy
four vessels of various classes at a
cost of G20,000,000.
Lord George Hamilton, First Lord
of the Admiralty, admitted that the
strength of the navy needed to be
increased. The chief defect at pres
ent was IN regard to the ordnance.
England possessed thirty four battle
ships, while France had only eigh-
teen. Her Majesty's Government
were prepared to submit next session
proposals based on England's needs

Literature for Children.

There is so much of it pure, wholesome ano

how to read need be without books suited to
his or her taste. The business of preparing
Juvenile literature has grown to enormous
proportions; some of the best writers do not
disdain 10 cater to the little ones, and there
are publishers whose fortunes have been
made by the printing and sale of books for
the young folks.
There is n dark s. j. TO this subject as every
rejecting person knows. Side by side with
the pure stream OF children's literature re-
ferred to there flows dark and foul current
poisoned by depraved men, and yet made en-
ticing enough to tempt the boys and girls to
drink o. it. This impure current finds its
way oftin unsuspected into the homes of the
people, debasing pure young minds, prepar-
ing innocent feet for evil ways, its very pres
ence a danger not less menacing than disease.
The lesson is obvious. Let the children be
supplied with plenty of pure literature by
the pure hase of books, or from the libraries,
and there will be much less danger of their
touching anything else. And yet that other
