Ribbon work is one OF the seasons
latest novelties In embroidery. In Ger
many this ribbon work is very elabo-
rate and the ladies there delight in
working out some OF the most beau

Profits Made in the Slave-tfSae

The cost of the slave-ship-the
amount of capital required-in an
important matter. The story of the
Baltimore schooner, Napoleon" is
remarkable from this point of view.
She measured but ninety tons. She
made number of successful voyages
but the facts in one will suffice.
In 1885 she took on a cargo COM
posed of young negroes of the Kas-
soos, the Fl, and Sherbro Billions ma
tions-fierce young fighters, every
one. Of these she landed $50. They
cost SIG each, and sold for $3.50
each. With all expenses out, includ-
ing present of about $4,000 to her
surgeon, Richard Drake, whose
knowledge of the coast about Ma
tanzas enabled her to dodge a Brit
ish cruiser, she cleared more than
100000. And yet $4,000 would
have been considered an enormous
price for little schooner like that
in those days. In each voyage she
paid about twenty dollars net profit
on each dollar of the cost of con-
observation-disclosures.

In Actual Feed Tests.

The Arkansas Experiment Station
after growing Spanish peanuts ten or
fifteen years, of several varieties, re-
ported: LAS hog feed, nothing
has been found that will more cheap
ly produce a gain in weight equal to
that produced by the Spanish pea
nut. AS compared with corn, the
standard hog food, one-fourth of an
acre of peanuts produced 313
pounds of pork, and the same area
in corn produced only 100 pounds
a difference of nearly three hundred
per cent in favor of Spanish peanuts
as compared with corn" The Ala
bama Station found that one pound
of growth required lit pounds of
grain when the hogs were on peanut
pasturage, on chufas $50, on rape
2.6S, on cowpeas 3.07, on sweet po-
tatOes 3.13, on sorghum $40. Seven
pigs averaging 28.10 pounds gained
in six weeks on peanut pasture alone
500 pounds per acre. Five Tam
worths aggre eating S95 pounds were
pastured twenty days on Spanish
peanuts and the lot gained 229
pounds-45.S pounds = per hog in
twenty days. That was a gain of
2.29 pounds per hog per day.

Some Good Remedies for Wrinkles.

One of the best preventives OF
wrinkles, is to learn facial repose.
Keep the body so well nourished that
the face will share in the general
well-being, giving evidence to this
by it's plumpness and lack of angu-
larity. Then it is important to keep
the teeth in good condition SO that
there will be no sagging in of the
cheeks where teeth are missing. Mas
sage for the face is like exercise for
the rest of the body, and If used for
the purpose of toning up the muscles
it is beneficial. The general di-
rection of the strokes on the
face should be upwards and out
ward, in order to life up and
strengthen the falling muscles

And it Fits in Almost Anywhere.

The peanut may be grown in corn,
like -cowpeas; or may follow some
other crop that has been harvested,
as Irish potatoes, crimson clover,
etc. They may be planted In miss
ing places in the cotton and corn, as
is frequently done with cowpeas.
They can be planted in young orch
ards; and will not climb and iniure
the trees if planted near, as velvet
beans and cowpeas would. They are
a surer crop than corn. If eaten by
stock so that the manure goes back
to the land, they will improve the
land. They fit in with almost any
style of farming and the Spanish va
riety thrives on almost any type of
soil that is not too wet while the
crop crop is growing. If there is
any crop that offers a big opportun-
ity to the farmer, Spanish peanuts
do. Anything from man to hogs
will eat peanuts with pleasure.

I'm view OF this unpromising crop
/ want to tell several things that will
be helpful. The world knows a lot
more about plant life than it did
twenty-five years ago.
"YOur first mistake was that you
did not thoroughly prepare this land
for planting. 1t should have been
worked until the soil was like an
ash-heap, three or four inches deep.
Again you did not drain the rows
so that there would be no wet spots,
even with a heavy rain. Look al
the long spaces where there are no
plants. II the soil was properly pre-
pared there is little danger that there
will not be moisture enough for the
seeds to terminate, but in most eli
mates and soils there is always dan
ger of too much water in the soil.
Standing water is death to cotton and
corn.

The Spanish Variety-When to
Plant, Etc.

OF course hogs should be finished
off with a little corn after peanuts,
before killing; but the Spanish pea
nut will grow practically anywhere
that cOwpeas will, makes a big yield
per acre, and makes more pork per
pound of feed than corn will. Other
varieties of peanuts are more par
ticular about the type of soil they
grow on, and will not mature in SO
short time. In the northern half
of Mississippi and Alabama and the
Southern half of Arkansas they may
be planted as late as the middle of
August; in the northern half of Ar
kansas and in Tennessee and in
North Carolina, as late as the first
or the middle of July. Earlier
planting will be better when con-
Venient, and planting may be done
as soon as danger of frost is past.
The yield varies from rs to $50
bushels per acre, 100 not being I'M
common. The nuts are not all of
the crop by any means. A good
yield of hay may be had under good
management, and the hay pound fol
pound will nearly equal clover or al
falfa. The hay yield will vary from
one to upwards of two and a half
tons per acre, and should be worth
at least $40 per ton. How is that
for by-product? The hay may be
mown before hogs are turned in to
root out the nuts, or the vines may
be grazed off by horses, cattle, sheep
or goats. The crop will, vines and
nuts, then go back to the land in the
form of manure, and the land will
be greatly enriched thereby.
