TRADE IN PEANUTS.

Branch Of Commerce Very Important TO
Southern Farmers.
When we pass q peanut stand, or see
bag Of peanuts In the grocery store, we do
not think OF peanuts as forming any i'm
portant share In our commerce. We do not
think that the peanut trade Is a branch of
trade very important to the people in GER
tain section of our country; that if the crop
should fail it would mean suffering and
ruin to many people, Peanuts grow in Vir
ginia, Tennessee and Eastern North Caro-
lima, Alabama and Mississippi. The best
grade comes from Virginia, and the, are
known as "goubers;" in Alabama and
Mississippi as "pinders." Dealers say
that no improvements have been made in the
peanut farms; they are just what they
were thirty years ago, although the peanut
trade has doubled in nine years. The farms
are small, and the crops are cared for by
negroes. The nuts are planted in hills
about foot apart, in rows about two and
one-half feet apart, and are harvested by
blowing and turning over with long-handled
forks; this shakes off the dirt, when the
vines are gathered and shocked about
pole, where they are left to dry, the vines
eeing SO placed as TO protect the nuts from
the rain; mildewed nuts turn black, and are
dealer saws, in the New York Evening
fosl tnat g" ne shocks, after they have been

weeks, until the nuts are quite dried and
&'red. They are then stripped from the

They are sold here as 'Wilmingtons, 'Vlr.

but is now raised in Virginia to good ad'
vantage. The grades are known as fancy

nuts, and these are bought by vendors u,

Peanuts are shipNed to all parts Of this
country and to tht West Indies, but nc
trade has been developed with Europe
This limited trade, however, amounts to five
million dollars per year.

From the Detroit journal

The intelligent foreigner who was
elected member of the Michigan
House OF Representatives, and sup
posed he had been elected to Congress,
was not the only ignoramus elected to
represent the people in the Legisla-
ture. One of the prettiest little villages
IN Livingston County was Incorporated
by special act a few years ago. Tie
ed that district at that time
introduced bill for that purpose by it's
title-a common legislative expedlent--
to be filed out and perfected. Tempus
began to fugit, and the committee to
whom the bill had been referred tried
to get him to fill out the bill, where
upon he calmly admitted that he sup
posed all member had to do was to
tell the committee what he wanted a
bill for, give them a title, and they
would make the bill and see it through,
and that's what they did for that fell
low.

John Gould, in the Albany Cultivator,
says: In connection with ensiIage, Mr..
Grlswold, of Macedonia, Ohio, tells me
of his experience in making ensilage of
field corn and some leftover fodder
corr, after having stood in the shocks
ter four weeks and more, that may in
terest many. After filling his four silos
last fall he found himself possessed of
some six acres of corn, field and ensi-
lage. Not relishing the idea OF husking,
and the never-ending job of drawing in
shook fodder, he at once cut it into big
shocks, then built a double-boarded
sllo, and IN November, about the tenth,
cut his corn into pits. A tank was set
upon the top wall Of the silo, and con-
nected with the windmill; hose with
nozzle sprinkler was affixed to the
tank, and as the fodder was cut in, a
steady shower of water was sprinkleu
on. The result was that the dry fodder
thus wet settled down, took on heat,
then cooled down, and the ensilage
came out good No. 2 in quality, with
only fraction Of the loss that would
nave been sustained if the fodder had
been left in the field until wanted as is
the usual custom. The silo at last was
not covered, save with the litter about
the machine, put on several days after
ward, when the internal heat had ex-
PEELED the air. and the result was rather
superior to the pits that were covered
in different ways. Just now the silo Of
the near future will be filed and COW
cred, and with what material, one can
hardly conjecture, 80 fast do silo
theories become practical facts.

From Youths COMPANION.


For dry, and yet unpretending hum
or, few men could compare with Sir
William Maule, an English Judge, who
had the rare power of uttering unex-
pectedly good things in common place
manner, which never seemed to chall-
enge applause.
He had no patience with witnesses
who would persist in uttering their tes-
timony in low tone of voice, and was
often forced to remind them that their
expenses were allowed in consideration
OF satisfactory service in court. On one
occasion, when a man obstinately con-
tlnued to humble. after remonstrance,
he remarked: Witness, if you do not
speak louder, / shall have to teach you
the difference between aloud and dis
allowed"
A witness who had given his evidence
in such manner as to convince every
one in court of his perjury, said. at
last, on being cautioned by the Judge:
'My lord, you may believe me or not,
but have not stated word that is
false, for have been welded to truth
from my infancy"
Eyes, SIR" replied Maule, shut the
question is, now long have you been a
widower."
He once described the condition of
mental neutrality necessarily occupied
by a judge, in saying to man who had
made a surprising statement:
swell, sir, you seem to be a respecta-
BILE man, so | am bound to believe you,
but can only say that if | had seen
what you describe with my own eyes,
should hesitate to believe it. The truth
is that, by the time man has had six
months experience as judge, he is
ready to put faith in every thing and in
NOT hipr .,

So when Tommy died, our pet baby brother,
And when to the grave his dear form we

And when brother John to the war was enlisted,
When the national blue was the color he wore;
Tho we wept at the parting, we pinned on his

Eccentric Errors,

a Western poet has cause to complain
that his line, the rhetoric defunct of
fairy love-" appeared in print as ''The
rhetoric defunct of prairie love-" The
atmosphere of Illinois affected the COM
posItors, who were more familiar with
prairies than fairies. One Of the oldest
typographical errors ever made in Bos-
ton was IN book published by the firm
of Croker & Bre wster, which has just
been brought to public attention by the
death of Mr.. Brewster. 1t was in one
of the sermons of DR.. Nathaniel En-
mons, the great orthodox divine. The
doctor quoted the scripture text, "Cut
him down. Why cumbereth he the
ground ?" The intelligent compositor
put it in type, "Cut him down, like a
cucumber, to the ground"
