The peanut vines, when properly
cured, are equal to clover hay in
feeding value. In the peanut States
they are one of the chief forages for
farm stock. The domestic use Of the
peanut should be encouraged in the
South. Every farmer should plant a
patch for his hogs. The bunch va
rieties can be cultivated level, and
just before frost the vines moved off
and the hogs fattened on the nuts.
In this case we can get crop Of the

They demand rotation.
The average yield per acre of pea
nuts Is entirely too small. Because
they are easily grown farmers get
into the habit Of not doing so we'll

we'll drained and pulverized. No
crop can succeed on a poorly drained

Der Of farmers who have grown from
100 to $50 bushels per acre, and yet
the average yield Is not more than 60
bushels per acre.
The peanut should be, and could
be made. one Of the most profitable
crops In the South. Every part of
the plant can be converted into a
profitable product. Millions of pounds
Of pork are fattened annually on the
luts that are left In the fields after
harvesting all that can be saved.
There Is nothing better for fattening
pork than peanuts. An experiment

Soil Preparation and Planting.
The land should be well broken

rowed several times to pulverixe the
soil and destroy the weed and grass
seeds. when we are sure that dan
ger OF frost is past, and the land Is
warm. we are ready to plant. II the
large varieties are to be planted, the
land should be thoroughly lined and
the lime narrowed In before marking
OF the rows. The distance between
the rows should be determined large
ly by the variety and the fertility Of
the soil. The running varieties need
more space than the bunch. and the
more fertile the soil the wider should
be the rows. The average distance Is
about three feet. The Spanish may
be planted as close together In the
drills as six inches. The bulk of the
crop In North Carolina and Virginia
Is planted between the first and tenth
