The Spanish peanut is coming
to the front as a great Southern
crop. The demand for hay and
feed is greater now than it has
ever been and it seems as if it is a
hard matter to get anything to
eurpass the improved Spanish pea
nut. It grows we'll in most any
section, yields satisfactorily on all
soils, and above all, it makes an
abundance Of hay. Talking with
8 leading scotsman I learn that
the chances are good seed will be
scarce this year. Consequently
any one wishing to secure some
should investigate the matter and
procure 8 supply of seed.
The plant is one of remarkable
value and che demand for them is
constantly increasing. The value
Of the nuts alone more than pays
for the entire crop, and besides
this the hay yield is worth more
vhan the nut crop. It keeps well
in stacks, is easily harvested and
cured and is one of great value in
feeding, Peanuts are one of the
few crops that combine the quail
ties of raising food for hogs and
cattle at the same time, but ever
Jheless there is nothing better for
hogs than peanuts and nothing
better for cattle thar the hay.
Horses do well on the same "a
zion, too, as for that Home and

China Land Of Paradox.

China is the land of paradox.
If it is an absolute, despotic mon.
archy, it is also a very democratic
country, with self-made men, its
powerful public opinion, and a
Estates rights" question of it's
own. It is one of the most cor
rupt of nations; on the other
hand, the standing of personal
and commercial honesty is prob
ably higher IN China than in any
other nation in the world. Wo
man, in China, is made to serve ;
her status is SO low that it would
be a discourtesy even to ask man
if he has a daughter; yet the
ablest ruler China has had in
many centuries is a woman. 1t
is a land where the women wear
socks and tous,rs, and the men
wear stockings and robes; where
a man shakes his own hand, not
yours where white, not black, is
a sign of mourning; where the
compass points south, not north
where books are read backward
not forward; where names and
titles are put in reverse order, as

Theodore in China, Uncle Sam
would be Sam Uncle; where frac.
