furnishes a product that is constantly
in demand.
Apart from the high commercial
value of peanuts there are domestic
uses Of this crop that give it a great
value, merely for hCme consumption.
Every part of the plant is useful in
some way, either for feeding and fat
tening domestic stock. or for adding
fertility to the soil. As a feed and
f~attener of stock ana poultry, peanuts
are worth more, acre for acre, than
field peas or corn. They not only yield
more food and more f&ttGning material
to the stock, but the benefit to the soil
arising from the decay Of the vines
and roots is greater. Wherever tur-
keys. ducks, geese, or hens are raised
and fattened for the market. or
wherever pork, lard and bacon are
prominent staples Ii the farm rOu-
tine, peanuts should re grown for con
sumption upon the land. In this way all
the labor and Costof harvesting and self
ing the crop Is obviated. and the farm
er gets more per pound for the nuts
thus converted into meat than he could
get for them after the most careful
harvesting; besides, the benefit to the
soil is i%ncalculable Peanut hay,
where the crop is properly harvested,
is a valuable feed for horses, cattle
and sheep. 1t is a nutritious and safe
feed for all animals, and all stock is
fond of it. 1t is excellent for mich
cows. The yield Of hay per acre is
about equal to that Of other hay and
fodder Crops."

sincere regard for her welfare. You
also know the pride | felt because IT
came to nue. as president to with
draw the American troops from the
island of Cuba ana officially to pro
claim her independence and to wish
her Godspeed in her career as free
republic. / desire now through yol
to say word of solemn warning to
your people. whose earnest well wish.

been in condition of profound peace
and of steadily growing prosperity.
For four years this peace and pros.
perity have obtained under her own
independent government. Her peace,
prosperity and independence are now
menaced for of all possible evils that
can befall Cuba the worse is the evll
of anarchy into which civil war ana
Revolutionary disturbances will as
suredly throw her. Our intervention
In Cuban affairs will only come II
Cuba herself shows that she has fall.

she lacks the self-restraint necessary

her contending factions have plunged
the country into anarchy. ] solemn

together to sink all differences and
personal ambitions and t. remember
that the only way they can preserve
