Peanuts have become an important
article of American foreign commerce
in the last six years, especially on the
import side. in spite OF the fact that we
produce about 100000 bushels year
Peanut imports have grown In value
from $4,000 in 1900 to 100000 this
year, while our exports thereof will APP
proximate 100000 When this fiscal
year closes We shall have to list pea
nuts for nearly 100000 of our total
foreign commerce for the year, accord
ing to the Bureau of Statistics of the
Department OF Commerce and Labor.
The peanut acreage in this country
increased $50 per cent and production
233 per cent between 1890 and 1900.
There are under cultivation now 517.-
900 acres, producing 100000 bushels.
The crop IS concentrated in few
Southern States, Virginia supplying
one-third of it. North Carolina another
third.-New York Sun.

The "strength" of FIour.

Millers and bakers know that large
differences exist among various sorts
Of wheat -four with regard to baking
value, or strength, but it appears that
only recently have complete chemical
tests been made to determine why
given quantity of -four of one brand
will produce loaf and nearly one
third larger than the same quantity of
another brand. According to expert
ments by the Department of Agrlcul-
ture at Cambridge, England, the vol
ume Of loaf of bread depends in the
first instance upon the relative amount
of sugar in the dough The addition
of sugar always increases the size of
the loaf, or, as the baker says, makes
the -four stronger There are other
differences affecting such things as text
ure and color of bread. the chemical
bases of which are yet under examina-
tion.

In the school of life we may learn
to forget the difficulties of the tasks
once set before us, and even the dis
grace when we failed at them in the Joy
of the strength that all the struggle of
meeting and mastering these tasks has
given. How foolish would he be who
should refuse to tackle the larger prob
lens of life because the little old slate
on which he worked his sums in school
Is blurred with tear marks.
And so with our sorrows. Too many
are living in the shadow of clouds long
passed. Carrying in their hearts the
gloom of days gone by, they rob to-day
of it scourage and tomorrow Of its glad
confidence. Their backs are soon brok-
en- who do not know how to drop some
burdens.
There Is a great difference between
the fragrant memory of days that in
their passing seemed most bitter, be-
tween those mists through which loved
faces smile out of deaths shadows and
the carefully preserved pals and trap
pings of our woe.
So, too, do We imbtter our present
with the cherishing OF Sights and in
justices, malice and enmity, thought or
done to US in days past. Memory and
history easuy become a chamber of hor-
rors. pit where dwell only foul and
nolsome things, and to-day's pleasure
and to-morrow's promise alike are lost
in contemplation of yesterdays pain.
God is ahead as well as behind. The
universe is not heartless. a pitiless ma
chine where past faults forever pre-
clude the possibility of future perfec-

human breast is but The echo of the

Is there progress in poultry keeping?
Read the market reports Look at the
amount of poultry advertising done to-
day as compared with five years ago.
How did the winter prices of eggs in
the last five years of the nineteenth
century compare with those of the first
five years OF this? Thousands of PEG
pie are to-day making a comfortable
living and many have become indie
pendent by raising poultry and eggs for
the market. 1t has been proven by eX-
periments that 1t costs no more to pro-
duce pound of poultry than it does
to produce a pound of pork or beef, yet
poultry is always worth more per
pound than any other meat aud sells

something from the experiment made

Growing Cucumbers for Picking.
Factories for picking cucumbers are
being established wherever the farm
ers can be induced to become interest
ed. Small pickles. not over 212 inches
long. usually bring about 30 cents per
bushel, bushel containing about 500
pickles. The average yield is eseima ted
at 100 bushels per acre. though sew
eral hundred bushels may be grown
upon an acre. The midew destroys the
vines In some sections, but this is kept
down by spraying. The striped cucum-
Der beetle. which can not be destroyed
by paris green or ordinary insecticides,
Is formidable enemy where 1T makes
its appearance. The long green varie-
ties of cucumbers are used. Plenty of
manure should be applied. A fertilizer
consisting of one part nitrogen. one
part phosphoric acid and two parts of
potash is about the proper formula for
cucumbers. Cucumbers are sailed with
two quarts of salt per bushel of cucum-
bers, packed closely in tierces or bar
rels, and enough brine added to cover
them. The brine should be added daily,
as evaporation lowers the water in
the vessel and exposes the cucumbers,
which may damage them. Growers can
cooperate, form joint stock company,
and sell the pickles on the market,
thus securing the largest profit posi-
bic from growing them.

CONFLICT OF THE AGES.
BY Rev. A. C. Dixon, D. d

Text-"Howbeit, many of them
which heard the word believed. Acts
w., 4.
From the time Adam and Eve re-
fused TO believe God when he said,
'"Thou shalt surely die" there has
ragged a conflict between faith and I'M
belief IN the eleventh chapter of He
brews we read the muster-roll of Faith,
and, II it were written. we might have
a roll, though not so illustrious, from
Cain to Judas--the muster-roll of I'M
belief Nations have fought for a de
cade, two decades and five decades, but
at length the war came to an end. This
war. however. has no truce; it has
followed the light of the sun and the
shadow of the earth around the globe
every day; and we have in text and
context the love of Christ leading the
forces of faith against the forces of
unbelief.
Note the call of unbelief-organiZa
ton, learning, society, prejudice, self
interest and religion. Against organi-
cation stands individualism. Christ
makes the individual conscious, magni-
fes the value of the immortal soul. and
links love for himself with that of love
for neighbor. He would not have the
organization destroy the individual.
Over against the learning of the
schools is the wisdom and revelation
of God Over against the aristocracy
of position is the aristocracy Of char
acter. Over against prejudice is truth /;
and in the battle between truth and
prejudice, truth sooner or later will be
victor.
