Catholic priest Of the negro race or.
dained especially for missionary work
among the colored people of The United
States, is now engaged in the erection of

wrote to Mr.. Ward complimenting him
on his success in securing a .lifelike rep

times expressed the wish that there
might be no ceremony of any kind when
it was unveiled. Her desire was carried

before killing them. The killing is
done in two ways. In many houses this
is intrusted to women, who havea forked
instrument in which they place the birds
head and then by a quick movement
close it In such way that need1elike
piece of metal is driven into the brain
and the arteries Of the neck are severed.
A better method, although a little slower
one, is to hang the live birds, which have
been noosed by the legs, head down on
hooks over a pit. A man with sharp
knife stabs them in the mouth, and the
blood is allowed to drip into the pit.
Fowls killed in this way are of finer
flavor than when their lives arc ended in
any other method.
In most packing houses tie birds are
nowadays picked dry, the featlers being
stripped by one or two quick movements.

picking to grasp the fowl by the neck,
and great care has to be exercised at this

"There have been improvements in the

In Ffance they call it pistache de terre,
1t is sometimes known & lso as tho
ground pea or groundnut. The Ger
mans name it sweetly erannss, In the
southern part of the United States it is
recognized under the familiar name Of
goober, but most of us knew it as the
peanut, which we are at once extremely
fond Of and ashamed to be canght eating.
At the same time this universal fayorite
is not a nut at all, but belongs to the
bean and pea family.
The present year there will be pro.
suced in America of this underground
pea nearly Or quite 5000, 900 bushels. In
spite Of that, however, we still import
peanuts from abroad. On the west
coast of Africa they are raised in enor-
NOUS quantity for the European mar
kets. The superior chocolate prepara-
tions for which we in the United States
pay such high prices because they are
imported and warranted pure are
largely made of ground and roasted pea
nuts. They know how to do these things
in France. e.
In the northeastern part of North
Carolina peanut culture has become so
profitable that it has actually rooted ont
cotton and taken its place. The average
yield Of the crop is 35 bushels to The acre,
but in northeastern North Carolina it
frequently reaches 125 bushels to the
acre. Add to this, the fact that many
planters there have from 1870 to 200 acres
down in peanuts, and the amount of
earth bean food that North Carolina sup
plies to Americans, young and old, can be
guessed. 1t is claimed to be good brain
food. Six months are required for the
crop to come to perfection, and corn
ground fertilized by land plaster is the
kind demanded. 1t will only come to
perfection in the southern states.

they become ashamed of themselves. so
