boys have learned their value long before
the chemist came to tell them.
DR.. NGrdlinger finds on analysis of
nuts from Africa that they contain: wa
ter 654; ash, 3.97; oil, 1887; heterogeneous
substance, Al. 26; non-nitrogenous matter,
mainly starch, 1906; celulose, 800. The
oil is of an excellent quality, suitable for
table oil.
The amount ofnitrogenOus matter given
above is very great and if correct gives
the nut unusual value, especially to those
who eschew flesh. He estimates one
kilogram of peanut meal as nutritious as
1871 grams of harricot beans and 1922
of peas Zone kilogram equals |, 900 grams).
DR.. N9rdlinger prepares the meal from
the nuts after thoroughly washing them
in hot or cold water by grinding, and
makes it into rich soup with other vege-
tables, as turnips, carrots, etc, sailing
to suit the taste.

ROBERTS BOILERS.

About three months ago we needed a
larger boiler to enable us to keep up with
our increased demand for power
We studied the boiler question pretty
thoroughly and finally decided on a Rob-
erts'. When the boiler arrived we had
considerable misgivings as to whether or
not it would furnish us the required
power, as it was but little more than half
the size Of the one we were taking out.
However it was set in place and attached
to our thirty horse power engine. To
our surprise the safety valve was cOntin-
ually popping and for some time the fire
man had more trouble to keep the steam
from blowing off than anything else. 1t
requires but very little fuel, using less
than half what our old boiler did. The
saving in fuel alone will soon pay for the
boiler. One Of the good features is the
quickness with which steam can be
raised. In Is minutes from the time the
match is lit we can show 100 pounds of
steam, Mr.. A. G. Kingsbury, Of Winter
Park has the State agency and we under
stand he has put in several lately for ir-
rigating purposes in Orange County and

THE PEANUT.

DR. H. Nerdlinger, a German food chem
list, says the Journal of Hygiene, has
been investigating the chemistry of the
peanut with reference to utilizing it more
extensively as food. Botanically, it is
the fruit of the Archis Hypogie. 1t is
one of the Legumes, the same as the pea
or beam 1t was introduced into America
from Africa, probably with the slaves.
About 100000 bushels are produced in
North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee,
besides many more in Texas and other
States. They are mostly eaten roasted,
but used also in confectionery and the

Pineapple lips.

Pineapple Ups.
Says the Fort Whit (Fla.) Boomer:
"Pabor Lake, DeSoto County, is becom-
ing noted for pineapples. In the April
number of the PINEAPPLE published by
w. f. Pabor, is given the estimated cost
for 219-acre grove for three years. The
cost first year, (including 1925 for the
land), clearing, fencing, 10000 slips,
fertilizer. etc., 1925. Second year,
SIP so, third year, $1125O, making a
total cost OF $3.50. The prof first yea
will be nothing, second year 10000 sold
at71s to'al amount $3.50, third year 90
1000 sold at cents each. 81 900, leaving
"a pr, f. Of $l,100 in three years upon
AN investment of $3.50, and 81 900 is es-
jtimated to be the annual profit each
year thereafter. Th, Sc who have money
than to put portion of it in tie pine
apple industry"
The records of the Jacksonville Gus
tom house, says the Florida Fruit Grow
er, show that within the past two weeks
l4,617 dozen pineapples have arrived
from points outside of the Unit ID States,
chiefly the Bahama Islands. They were
Grated here and part were stenclled
@'choice FloFidas" and part were sent on
North bearing simply the stencil OF a
Jacksonville firm. There WAS nothing
ON the crates to indicate that the fruit
did not grow in Florida. No intelligent
Floridian claims that the ordinary Red
Spanish variety is any better grown in
this State than that grown in the Bal a
mas. But an important point is, they
did not grow in Florida. Another and
vastly more important point is, they are
likely to damage the reputation of those
that did grow in FIJI rida.

Says the Savannah Mirror of Com
merce: Florida raises better quality OF
pineapples than Cuba This may be
news to many, but it is a fact. A Mir
ror representative talking with SAvan-
nah importers of fruits, men who handle
great quantities Of pineapples every sea-
son and who have the benefit of years of
experience to enable them to Judge ac-
curately as to the quality of fruit, found
that they regarded the Florida pineap-
pie as a superior article to the Cuban.
It is more tender, less stringy, more
juicy and sweeter. They expect to see
the Florida fruit gradually drive the
Cuban out of the markets of this coun-
try. They believe that its cultivation
in that State will become more general
year after year, and that the immense
increase in acreage reported in the past
two years is merely an indication of
what may be expected. The southern
part of the peninsula, as we'll as the
Keys, is fitted by nature for the raising
of pineapples. How it came to be so
long before this was discovered is really
"a mystery. It needed but few expert
ments to demonstrate the fact to the
aookicfoo&ion nf oil

After the we'd ding ceremony Fr Ramon celebrated 8 High Nuptial Mass, at which the bride groom and bride received the Holy Communion.

The brother of the groom, MT Willie Col. lins, acted as best man. The church was we'll filled with the relatives and friends of the parties. including many Protestants. In the evening recep. tion was held at the home of the brides parents, the house being tastefully dec- orated with Chinese lanterns.

After an illness of several weeks, which terminated in heart disease, Mrs Angie Roys Makeley died at her home in North Egremont, Saturday morning, aged about 61 years. She was one of 12 children of Levi Roys, and was born at the old Roys homestead near the base of Mount Everett, on the so called "un- der mountain road" in Sheffield. She attended the public schools of her na- tive town and then went to the Patapsco Seminary, Ellicott's Mills, Md, where in due time she graduated with high honors She then taught select schools on the large plantations of Virginia and Maryland but finally came north where for many years she has been known as faithful teacher in select and town schools of Egremont and Great Barring ton.

 Some 30 years ago she married Will liam Makeley, an officer and foun der of the Methodist Episcopal church at North Egremont. From this union there was born daughter, Lizzie, who is now teacher in the public schools.
