 l cannot give up this crop so long as stay on the farm. It has SO many ad- vantages over other crops. First, it has stand more dry weather than any other crop, and third, poor sandy land that will not pay in any other crop, will make a fine crop of peanuts. 1 had this year twenty acres in peanuts that earily made fifty bushels per acre on land that would not make over eight bushels of corn with out fertilizer. They make the finest hay 1 eyer fed. when properly cured. If you pull them up in the evening" and the sun shines bright the next day. take them in late in the evening and you will have the sweetest hay you ever saw My horses will leave alfalfa to eat peanut- hay cured in this way.
 The peanuts are the finest hog feed l ever fed. If you want to feed yoiir hogs on peanuts have a block in your barn or crib and sharp hatchet and you can chop off the bunch of peanuts from njht to nearly quart on each root. You can chop off two bushels of peanuts while you are shclng one bushel of corn. They will faiten hogs faster than anything else and keep them healthy. Some people say there Is no money in peanuts. but ] know there is, for ge, money the year round for mine. ] am now supplying two stores. besides 1 fatten my hogs, and feed them to my horses and cows. Brother farmers, try them by all means. Plant in rows three feet apart. and the hills one foot apart. Keep clean and you need not worry about the yield. If you plant about April 20. they will be ready to harvest about Au- gust 70. They are a most valuable crop.
