Growing Peanuts.

The culture of the peanut has In
creased $50 per cent within the last
few years. 1t is growing wonderfully
in popularity. The main attention has
been given to the Spanish variety.
Wherever the COW pea will grow,
there peanuts will thrive-a light soil
with a sufficiency of lime. The nuts
can be broken in two for planting, as
whole pods-ure show to--germinate
Put one-half hull every IL inches
in the furrow. The rows should be 80
inches apart. Culture same.aas corn
two inches deep.
Vines are gathered and dried as
hay. Put vines in cocks and In ten
days pull off the pods. In some in
stances % bushels of nuts are gath
cred per acre. There will be over a
ton of vines per acre. The vines may
be moved for hay, leaving the nuts
under the soil to be dug by the
hogs.
Peanuts can be planted where there
are missing hills in the cornfield.
Peanuts have a higher per centum
of protein than corn. They are very
healthful to hogs, but it is. wise to
give the pigs on peas an ear of corn
about every other day. Peanut vines
contain Is per cent of protein, while
corn has only 1913 of protein. This
shows their great worth as food for
pigs, sheep or other stock. Seed can
be obtained at any seed store. The
farmers should grow seed for sale.-

SUCCESS WITH POULTRY.
IL Lies Very Largely I'm keepina
Them Free From Fat, Lice
and Disease.

On most of our farms a hen that
lays 100 eggs a year pays for herself.
/ believe, however, that We should not
be satisfied with hens that lay less
than 200 eggs year, for we want 10
get reasonable pay for the labor we
put upon them At the present prices
for eggs 100 eggs will bring at least
81, and they have not cost more than
81. But there Is another element that
enters into the cost of eggs, and that
Is the number of fowls that are lost
from various causes. 1t is possible to
lose so many fowls while they are
growing up that this will reduce the
profits of the ones that live. Some
men figure out that they are making q
profit of 81 q year on their fowls, but
at the end of the year can find no
profit. They can not understand why.
II their birds are making them a prof
1t of 81 each they should not have as
many dollars in profits as they have
birds. The fact Is that they had q
large number of fowls that were fed
then died. In some flocks the cholera
appeared, and in others the roup was
the devastator. In others skunks and
cats reduced the size of the flock. II
Is the vanished cost of supporting
these that reduced the profits on eggs
to about nothing. The longer l take
care of poultry the more / realize that
success with fowls consists very
largely in keeping them free from fat
lice and disease."-Mary Pickering, In
Indiana Farmer.
