MANY MILLION GALLONS
OF WAFER ARE CONSUMED
Laurium Establishes New Record
During 1909, With l2S,S69,-

FIFTY NEW METERS ORDERED

Almost 126 million gallons of water
were consumed I'm the village of Laur-

close December 81, the reports for
which have recently been compiled.
1t is believed that more Lake Superior
water was consumed in Laurium last
year than ever before. The mid-sum-
mer months show the heaviest con-
sumption. due to large extent to the
fact that many of the residents use
lake water to sprinkle their gardens.

RAISE PEANUTS

The value of peanuts as hay and food crop has never been ap- preciated. The peanut will grow on the larger portion of the up lands of the South. As a crop for varied uses nothing excels it. It can be made profitable when nuts are grown for market. and it has been found to produce more and cheaper pork than any other crop. When used as hay for horses or cattle the vines and nuts are pulled up and cured together. In this shape they are relished by all kinds of stock, and as they are highly nutritious they can be util- ized in place of more expensive grains to lage extent.
 Peanuts should not be planted until warm spring weather. Plant on a welI-prepared soil, in rows 3 feet apart and 12 inches apart in drill for the Spanish variety and a greater distance for larger varie- ties. The Spanish is preferred for feeding purposes.
 The peanut is a soil improver, and every farmer should look with more favor on its place among the farm crops.
