the field buyers vying with each other
for the possession of the nuts, bid
ding in some cases as high as 81 per
bushel.
Having received a great many in
quiries as to the preparation for and
cultivation of peanuts, have prepared
the following form in order that l may
mail one to each individual asking for
information upon this subject.
A sandy loamy soil is best adapted
for the growing of peanuts, either in
the hills or bottoms, it being vitally
necessary that the soil should contain
an abundance Of lime. For bottom
lands where the soil is loamy, l would
advise putting the rows three feet
apart, with one double peanut every IL
inches in the drill, covering about one
to one and one-half inches deep. For
hill land, would make the rows about
three feet apart, with the double pea
nut every ten inches in the drill, Gov
ering the same depth.
Either broadcast your land from No
vember Is to March 1 and re-bed with
four burrows about the first to III
teenth of May and plant at once, or, II
delayed in work, list your land from
January 1 to April 1, and break out
middles with middle buster, allowing
the land to remain until about first to
fifteenth Of May, when you can re-Ded
your rows dry enough for the soil to
Ipulverize thoroughly, and plant at
once, as above directed.
It is not necessary to soak seed or
crack the nuts for planting.
Drop the double nut, in its dry
state; ven, in your judgment, all OF
the seed have sprouted and appeared
above the ground, soak some peanuts
is hours, and replant skips with them.
Keep this up vigorously until you have
"a perfect stand. Remember good
stand is absolutely necessary to insure
a large yield. Hoe early and often at
first, and carefully, for once grass and
weeds get the advantage Of the crop
1t is a hard matter to chop and clean
properly and retain stand.
Cultivate clean with sweeps or
shovels, and lay by with a middle
buster, as this enables you to use a
potato digger in harvesting your crop.
In case you are unable to procure a
digger, bar off your rows, then re-
move the wing from No. 8 plow, use
a sharp point and run under one side
so as to cut the tap root just under

have by personal experience this
year demonstrated that by observing
the above directions my yield was
61 bushels to the acre, with fraction
more than one ton Of hay to the acre.
This in face of the fact that we had
two protracted droughts, which hit the
crop on both occasions at the time Of
full bloom. The mill here is paying
from 90 cents to 81 per bushel for
the nuts, and the hay is selling at this
time here for S14 per ton.

RISKS Ilff FOR SONS
Mrs. III. Christie Climbs
Through Flames and

The mother love was shown in its
fullest extent Wednesday atfneroon
when Mrs. Henry Christie, eldest
daughter of County Commissioner Fred
lakin. risked her own life and was so
severely burned that she may not re-
cover by going through fire and res
cuing her two little sons, Fred and
Richard, aged one and one-half and
lively. on the Lakin farm just east of
RoyaltOn.
At about three clock that afternoon
Mrs. Christie heard the cries of the
children and saw smoke coming up
from the loof of the barn about two
hundred feet from the house, and rush.
ing there saw the plight of her chill
dren. Earlier in the day in chasing
flies from the house box of matches
bad been upset, and in picking them
up, one or two must have been over
looked as the older boy later found
one and going to the barn with his lit
tie brother climbed up in the hay loft
and with little pitch fork started to
throw down hay through the hole on
the inside OF the barn, thereby block
ing the hole. Evidently he then struck
the match and set fire to the hay. On
her arrival the opening, which was
the only way Ut egress, was a mass OF
burning hay, but undaunted she
climbed the ladder through tho flames
and in turn let the children drop to
the hay below, after which she fol-
lowed. She then hurried to the water
trough and extinguished the flames on
their clothing.
Mrs. Christie was terribly burned
about the head, face, eyes, chest, upper
limbs and right hip. her burns being
mostly of the third degree, that is
burned SO the skin came off and the
flesh more or less stuffed. >he most
likely inhaled some flames also as the

throat is very sore. The children S
burns were about the face, neck and
hands, and we're OF the FIRST degree,
that is just redeemed and not blister
ing the skin, their clothes which were
damp from rain in which they had
been, keeping their clothes from catch
ing fire until they we're rescued. The
older boy however has very badly
burned right hand.
They were first taken by rig to Roy
alton, where physician temporarily
dressed the wounds, and a car in
charge Of Arthur LaFond, which was
in Royalton at the time, was pressed
into service and the three sufferers
taken to st. Gabrleps hospital of this
city, reaching here about o'clock
The little ones will recover but the
mother is IN very serious condition.
The barn burned to the ground.
