of interest is being manifested in
cities in all parts of the United States

HOW PEANUTS o

The Staple Food of theCircus Re.
quires but Little Cultivation.
All boys and a good many of theid
sisters, are fond of peanuts. Every
body knows that no circus is corn
plete without them, but probably not
many boys, nor girls either, know Just
how they grow, says the New York
Times. The peanut is supposed to be
a native Of Africa, where it forms
the chief food of certain regions, but
It is found. too, in South America and
Europe, the species varying slightly
in the different countries. Here in
the United States it is cultivated
chiefly in North Carolina. Virginia and
Tennessee. The seed planted is the
meat kernel, and care is taken not
to break the skins. The plant grows
like a vine, and the nuts hang on to
it like pea pods. "A single vine will,
1t is estimated, produce about 100
nuts, If it is of the average good condi-
ton. At this rate the yield per acre
is forty bushels. Three varieties of
these nuts are grown here-the white
the red and the Spanish. They are
readily distinguished, as they have
individual characteristics. The next
time you eat peanut with two kerr
pels very white, with pink skins, you
will know it is Of the white variety.
which is the most important. The
shell of the dark red nut sometimes
holds three or four dark kernels. and
its skin is of a decidedly dark red, 80
you cannot mistake that; while the
Spanish nut is so much smaller. with
a lighter skin than either Of the 9TH
ers. that # will NOT he mistaken for
either Nearly 100000 bushels of
peanuts are used in this country ev.

Plan Are Disappointed.
Minneapolis, May 21.-The Pingree
plan of city farming has not met with
much encouragement in Minneapolis,
but there have been many difficulties
in the way Of it's progress. No soon
err has one cloud passed from its
horizon than another has been found
in it's place. AT first the matter of
finance was the apparent difficulty,
and land was plenty; then came the
desired finds, and now the commits
sion is looking very anxiously for the
land. Yesterday there were sixty call
ers upon Secretary Hove who asked
for land, the majority of whom got
none. 1T is estimated that 300 appli-
cants, under the present conditions.
will be unable to be supplied with the
land either in large or small amounts.

Japan is a small country in area,
with a dense population, and it has the
best cas- for wishing to extend it's
territory. Russia has more land than
any other nation in the world. The
idea that Russia is to gain another
slice Of the erath as a result Of Japan's
brave and brilliant campaign against
China is calculated to put information
al politics on q par with piracy.

There is certainly no baking powder
