A PEANUT FACTORY, IT,

The Progressive Association has
taken the correct and initial step to get
a peanut factory. The following: John
L Bridgers, @. w. Jeffreys, w. FL.
Powell Jr., B B. Howell, James T.
Howard and W. e Fountain, we're ap
pointed committee to investigate and
il q factory, as a paying concern is prac
ticable, to solicit stock in the same and
report plan of organization, etc. 80
far as stock in this ia concerned, it can
be had with little # lrt, provided the
farmers back the enterprise.
The farmers are not expected to in
vest largely, but they must so back the
enterprise 90 as to insure its success. As
has already been stated, in these col
uImns, the difference between the pea
nut as it comes from the farm and
after it is cleaned, is from 90 to 40 cents
a busheL OF course, this is not all
profit, the dirt, the labor, etc., must be
deducted, but sti the margin Of profit
is large. The peanut trust knows this
and it will not brook a competitor.
II the farmers will take up the fac
tory, they will then be in a position to

This will greatly add to the value of
your compost. 10 will then have all
the elements Of plant food in good

Do not let your heap get too hot.
Throw on water and pack closer, or

have too great heat.
By little care and q few minutes

to be a savings bank on your farm
from which you will draw constant
and paying dividends.
II possible, the compost should al
ways be spread upon soil which has
been freshly plowed or narrowed.
This will prevent loss from evapo

A we'll kept compost heap adds great
~ to the neatness ard health ulness Of
the farm. Malarial vapors that are 80
common about badly kept lots and
yards will all be destroyed or pre-
vented by the heap.

share in the benefits whether the trust
makes fight or not. II no fight would
be made, private capital would like
nothing better than an investment in
a factory. lit does fight, then private
capital is timid, because without most
abundant means the trust will make
operations Improbable. The trust can
make the price Of peanuts so high as
they come from the farm, that the
mill cannot handle them at a profit.
II the farmer is backing the enter
prise he can, when the trust tries this
game, sell to the trust and let the local
mill remain idle. The loss on the in.
vestment will be small while the gain
otherwise will be great.
A few thousands of dollars will build
and equip the factory, The expense
connected with one is the capital
needed to buy the peanuts, the amount
required running up il to six figures o.

Some towns have invested in
steamboat and tied it to the wharf,
simply as a lever to reduce freights
On this theory the peanut factory can
be made success.
II the trust is willing that normal
prices shall rule, the factory will pay
and that handsomely, but il it tries to
run the projectors out of business by
putting up the price. then the factory
can remain idle and the farmer sell at
the enhanced price.
It is plain and simple. The matter
rests with the farmers. The commit
tee should ascertain what the farmers
will do; then, il they will do their part,
the peanut factory can be had without
trouble or delaY.-Iarboro southerner.

A few years ago a great deal was
said and written about the compost
heap. It was considered the essential
element Of success upon every farm.
Its praises were upon every tongue.
Too much was claimed for it; many
were disappointed; hence there came
a reaction. TIE commercial fertilizer
dealers did much to hasten this reac
tion and to make it extreme. Like all
reactions, it has gone too far, says J.
B. Hunnicutt in a recent issue Of the
Southern Cultivor.
Tnere is great good in the compost
heap. Sensibly used, it is the right
hand of success upon the farm. With,
out it, n uch that is valuable will go to
waste upon every farm. It is not
practicable to carry all the waste from
the yards and lots and stalls directly to
the fields; often it is not economical or
desirable to do so.
Every farm should have conven-
lent compost heap. Upon this all refuse
should be daily thrown. This heap
should be carefully covere and looked
after. Enough moisture should be al
ways present to assist decomposition.
Dry matter does not decay. Moisture
is necessary to make this proceed. II
it can be done, the liquid voidings Of
all animals should be utilized in keep
ing the compost heap moist.
In doing this twofold good is &C
complished. The plant food elements
Of the Eq 1ids are caught and preserved
oy the solids in the heap. At the same
time the solid matter is fastened in de
cayiDg and thus yielding up it's plant
food ready for use.
PLANT FOOD.
Remember that you are after the
greatest possible Quantity of soluble
plant food. lis thip, and this alone,
that increases your crop and your
profit. You buy ckemical manures
simply that you may feed more soIu
BILE plant food to your growing crops.
You distribute all manures for the
same purpose. The value of any ma
nure depends entirely upon the guam
tity of soluble plant food it contains.
The compost heap is factory for the
manufacture of soluble plant food. Its
value depends entirely upon its power
to do this. Almost any sort OF com
post heap will do some Of this work,
but a we'll managed one will do so
much of it that it pay large profit
upon the cost of making and caring
for.
HOW SHALL WE Make OEE3
Use all the waste vegetable matter
you can get. II it is not convenient to
carry your stable manure direct to the
field, put it on the compost heap Pack
the heap down often 60 as to keep the
moisture from escaping and thus hasten
1ecay.
II your heap is to remain long before
moving to the field, several inches Of
soil should be thrown upon it occasion
ally. This will help keep the moisture
and at the same time absorb and hold
the escaping ammonia and carbonic
acid gas.
To make the more sure Of this, keep

PREDICTS GREAT CALAMITIEs.

claims to be guided by the rules and
principles of astrOlogy, predicts great
personal peril for a high Government
official in Washing ton this winter. She
does not state that it is the President
claiming that the astrological horoscope
is not clear on that subject vet, but it
is clear she believes it is he.
Miss Vernon, like her father before
her has made a study of astrology and
believes in it throughlY. She predicts
startling calamities in the Philippines
before the war is over. Some months
ago she predicted that Dreyfus would
be Vindicated in December. He has
practically been indicated already by
the evidence given at his trial, so far
as every people but the French are con-
cerned, and the pardon granted is very
nearly Vindication as to them.

Accidental Death,

An accident occurred on the old Cut
ter homestead, beyond Churchtown,
Friday evening, which resulted in the
death of a widely known and highly
respected citizen. MIR John G. Remley,
who was instantly killed.
Mr. Remley and his son, John, were
trying to remove a thresher which
had been stored in the barn on the
Cutter farm since last season, and had
a team of horses pulling the machine
backward out of the barn. In some
manner, probably by cramplng the
wheels too far, the machine was over
turned and fell upon Mr. Remley, pre-
sumaDly causing instantaneous death
Mr.. Il. j Durchett, the mail carrier,
was present and saw the occurrence,
and removed Mr.. Remley's body from
bcnea.A Che machine, There were no
marks about the face, but the body was
considerably bruised. Death was prob
ably due to blow on the top of the
head
The funeral will be held at the resi-
dence this Sunday morning at nine
o clock burial in the German Luther
an cemetery near Watertown. The
many friends of Mr. Remley were
greatly shocked to hear of his sudden
and awful death.
deceased was about Go years of
age and leaves a widow, who is pros
trated with grief, also seven children,
all grown.

The Case Dismissed.

The case of Augustus Shears against
AlDert Ritchie, which was up for hear
ing before Squire C. w. Richards Sat
urday morning, was dismissed.
The prosecution called their wit
nesses and asked them where they
lived One said Warren township and
one said Constitution. Neither told
what state or county he lived in and
after the examination, the prosecution
rested les case.
The attorney for the defense then
made motion to dismiss the case, as
NJ evidence had been brought out to
show that a mlsdemeanor had been
committed within the jurisdiction of
the Justice. The motion was held to
be good and therefore the case was
dismissed. 1t was a mere technical
point which had been overlooked, but
it was sufficient.
