FARMER ANDP PLANTER.
AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
Few seem to rink Their
Boys Need Special Training to
econ Farmers.

II is n fact recognized by all that
,he doctor, the lawyer, or anyone fol
loving a professional or a mercantile
nursuit, must have some special train
;rc in order hat he may attain suc-
aoss in his chosen work. The most
Ignorant farmer would not think of
Undertaking to make a doctor or law
,,or out of his son without first send
mo him to some reputable college
whore young men are trained for
s,cb professions. Yet it seems that
very few ever think of n boy need
;nr any special training in order to
become a farmer. Anybody can farm,
so it is thought. If a boy can pillow,
use the %cultivator, II do the ordinary
work about a farm he is regarded as
very well fitted for making a success
ful farmer. The farm is often re.
oarded as the place for such persons
ms have not attained sufficient educa-
life. The children are told, in many
instances, at our public schools that
they should be diligent in pursuing
their studies, in order that they may
nrepare themselves for some higher
calling in life than manual labor.
They are thus taught to regard man
ual labor as only fit for persons who
can support themselves in no other
way. They are thus led to think that
it does not require trained thought to
be successful in farming. Nothing but
hard work and plenty of it is consid-
cred requisite. The boy who gets
this idea in his head is inclined to
think there is no honor in making a
success of something which only re
ouires hard manual labor. He must
choose some of the professions where
it requires hard mental work and
where there is some honor in being
successful, so the farmer boy is off to
the city in many instances to swell
the number of the unsuccessful in
life. The boy then often undertakes
to drown the memory of his disap-
pointment in dissipation and riotous
living and is rushed on toward a dis
sipated life and often a drunkard's
grave. When it is generally recog-
nized and understood that farming is
a business which requires trained
thought as well as manual labor, and
the successful farmer is recognized as
he should be, there will not be such a
tendency toward the city among our
farm boys. 1t is true that the farmer
could make a tolerably good living
without much thought or education
during the early settlement of the
country, while the land was all new
and no attention needed to be paid
to the fertility of the soil. AS it Is
to-day, however, we must pay the pen
atty for the ignorance of our fore
fathers. by having a soil robbed OF
its natural fertility, to cultivate. 1t is
a case of the sins of our ~forefather:
being visited upon us, although limo

Growing Spanish Peanuts.

The cultivation of Spanish peanuts
Is our main crop. In sight of me, one
farmer has $50 acres planted. The
ground is thoroughly plowed and har-
rowed the same as for corn. We COM
mence planting as soon as the ground
is warm enough, some plant the last
of May. We use a peanut planter,
planting in rows, from two and one
half feet to three feet apart, by eight
inches in rows, work level cultivation
same as for corn, do not cover bios
sons, dig before frost. To dig them
we take off the m%oleboard of small
pillow having point. Plow up the row
leaving the plant and nuts intact,
loose the ground, then pull by hand,
put in small piles, afterward in larger
piles. Then pack around pole, stuck
in the ground, placing about pole
two to three feet in diameter and five
feet high, so peanuts do not show,
there leave to dry. Cover top with
vines and grass so as to shed water,
and to keep off row and birds
When vines and peanuts + dry
thrash with a peanut thrasher or pick
by hand. Vines make good hay. The
| yields from fifteen to sixty bushels per
acre. At Petersburg, Va, there are
several large factories, that clean and
shell, to send to all parts of the
world.-Epitomist.

HERE N THERE.

The poultry business is not II
thing else he has undertaken. Many
of this class rush in only to add m
other failure to the list.
The care of the governments
forest reserves, aggregating some
thing over twenty million acres, has
been virtually confided to the bureau
of forestry. They were formerly
cared for by the land Office.
The value of barley as a feed for
horses has been thoroughly tested.
Horses and mules at hard work soon
tired of it and finally refused to eat
if at all. Oats was then substituted
for barley and eaten ~greedily.
Hog r~aisers, who have fat hogs,
are in clover if the hogs + not. Good
fat mes have recently brought seven
cents per pound, live weight. The
Joke is on those who eased up on the
hog business on account of the high
price of corn.
-Pure-bred poultry of to-day lay
more eggs, attain greater size ana
young stock natures faster and are
better table fowls than the common
mixed stock, to say nothing of the
beauty to the eye of a fine stock OF
pure-bred fowls.
If the sod in the orchard is too
| tough, and it is not desirable to pillow
it, turn he pigs in and give them free
range. They will always find some
thing to root for, and the result will
be that they will bronx up the sod
and beEeit the trees.
The export cattle trade of the
| United States for the fiscal year end
ed June 80, 1901, was the greatest, IL
point of the number of cattle export
ed, of any year in history. The total
to all countries amounted to 459,2lc
head, valued at S37, 566,9s0.
1t is claimed that the unusual fail
ure of the corn crop and the unusua
success of the wheat crop in Missouri
will cause many farmers to change
from corn to wheat. Cracked wheat
will also in many instances be substi
tuted for fattening cattle.

SYSTEM is WHAT is NEEDED.


Farmers as a class worry too much,
do too much hard work, and this
blunts the sensibilities, destroys their
sense of pleasure and renders them
in appearance, if not in reality, Ian
guild. stupid, and in a word dreadfully
rustic. They should do less hard la
Dor, much of which is profitless
drudgery. Often far more is under
taken than can be well done, conse-
quently they work o early and too
late. They often could and should
be modified by a little forethought
and management. System is what is
needed. Farmers should have a GER
tain time to begin and stop work.
They should put in more mind, should
theorize as well as practice, and let
both go together. Farming should
not be, as it were, an incubus resting
on the mind, and rightly pursued it
will not be; for it is healthy, it is
moral, it is respectable, and in the
long run it is profitable. Only let the
farmer think well, labor judiciously,
keep out of debt, careful lookout TO
outlays and incomes, keep good stock
and the best machinery, and no place
will afford him more solid content
ment and pleasure than the trusty old
farm. Indeed, the farm is the best
place to begin life, and the best place
to end it; a truth well known and
appreciated, hence, so many in the
cities and professional life covet rural
homes.
Another essential in rendering
farm life attractive is to take care
of and promote the health. No place
affords so great a variety of exercises
for promoting health as the farm;
but too often these are overlooked
and the beneficent results they would
have afforded are lost to those who
perhaps, were longing for them
Among other things cleanliness is toe
often neglected, bathing omitted, eat
ing is done hurriedly and irregular
the family sleep in observation-disclosures
ments, and often needlessly expose
themselves to cold. Since the greater
number of human diseases arise from
colds or intemperance, both OF eat
ing and drinking. it is necessary fo1
good health TO battle frequently
breathe pure air, and eat and drinl
with moderation and deliberation.
Home adornment is another feature
In rendering farm life attractive
Nothing is lost that goes to make
home beautiful or pleasant. Their
should be indoor entertainments TO
the family, papers, pictures, music
and every member of the famil,
should be encouraged in their prac
tice and use. Then let neatness, corn

brought to the surface are pronounced

opinion among local experts as to
whether 1t is true vein. So far as is
Known. Mr.. Stone has bored to great

lieved the coal is merely break from
the vein that exists on either side OF
the valley. and that. in prehistoric
times it fell down to the depth at
which it was found. If it is a true.
vein. it would lie. at the point Of dis
covery, about 200 feet below the veins
now being worked there. and about 500
