HOW TO HARVEST PEANUTS
Mississippi Farmers Woefully Ignorant
On This Subject.

Jackson.-H. C. Thompson, expert
horticulturist, who has been detailed by
the United States bureau of plant indus-
try to the work of educating the pea
nut growers in Mississippi up to the
proper methods of harvesting the pro-
duct, after they have been successfully
cultivated, has started out on his Sec
ond week since entering the Mississippi
field. As Mr.. Thompson states, his
work is not directed toward cultivation,
as that is in other hands, but he fnds
that the farmers are woefully ignorant
on the subject of harvesting and hand
ling. He has found that with very few
exceptions the tendency of peanut grow
ers is to dig them out of the ground,
and do this in any way just so they are
gotten at. Experience has proven That
peanuts should not be harvested too
early, a mistake which many farmers
make, and in consequence they get
them out of the ground before half OF
the crop on the roots is matured. Ihey
are not ready to dig until the foliage Is
turning yellow, and even then no n
has any business, who desires to make a
success of it, to pull the nuts from the
ground. They are supposed to be dug
just as one would dig potatoes, and at
ter digging they must be thoroughly
dried before being punched or shocked
for the nsum
This same energetic young man is an
authority not only on how to handle
peanuts after reaping, but as a horti'
culturist has studied other fruit pro
ducts growable in Mississippi. One OF
!, the latest bulletins issued by the Missis
sipp agricultural experiment station at
Starkville, No. III, is entitled, Apple
9 Growing in Mississippi" which was pre-
: pared by Mr.. Thompson whilst he wa'
> At the A. and NJ. College. In the cours'

IN THRIFTY BELGIUM
WHERE THERE ARE PRAC-
TlCALL.Y NO PAUPERS.
How the Government Has Aided Pros
perity-Always a Little Something
Put Away for Days Of Old
Age.

Across a narrow sea from England
Is a little country which, though
densely populated, has practically no
paupers, nor dc the people emigrate-
This is thrifty Belgium, where there
is thrift of the individual, thrift of the
family, cooperative thrift, national
thrift, and prosperity in the face or
the keenest competition of its power
full neighbors, England, France and
Germany.
The government, instead Of paying
old age pensions and dispensing char-
ity, has machinery for the encourage
ment of thrift and thereby for the
prevention of dependence. 1t pays
the individual interest on his savings,
it insures his life and 1t will give him
an annuity If he saves to pay for 1t.
In the government savings bank de-
posits may be made IN every post or
fee of the kingdom and in all the
branches of the National bank. b
minimum deposit is one franc. There
Is no maximum. The government
provides in a special way for those
who cannot put aside so large a sum
as a franc at a time. 1t authorizes
smaller deposits by postage stamps IN
order to encourage school children,
farm laborers and the like; and rural
postmen carry with them the neces-
sary forms for this purpose, and urge
the public to make use Of the saving
bank in this way.
Life annuities may be contracted
for at all branches Of the savings
bank, at all branches Of the national
bank, at all post offices, and at the
offices of all tax receivers. The mini
mum payment that may be MADE Is
one franc. and the smallest annuity
paid by the fund is one franc, Will
the largest is 1900 francs. The an
nuities become payable at the end OF
each completed year from the age Of
fifty to sixty-hve.
In addition to the annuity funC
there is q government Insurance
fund, the management Of which is un
der government guarantee. Life o.
endowment policies may be contract
ed for. the latter payable at the en'
of 10, IS, 20 or % years, or for
period ending at the ages of nfty-hve
sixty or sixty-fve.
This policy has instilled ideas Q
thrift in the minds Of the school chi
dren, It has driven thrift into tn
household where the income Of tn
husband, or of wife and husband con
bined. is rarely spent, and in mos
cases a liberal margin is left for Ii
future. The people live within the
incomes. "Our income they say, "
so much a year; We must live with
It and put away something for our O
days"
Among English speaking peoD'
this is the habit: W must have tn
and that and go here and there. al
so we must bring our income up
that mark at all hazards"
But the Belgian household EMO
contentment and awaits with patlen
a larger income before buying Il
and that and before going here a
there; and they do not try to Ike
the pace set by those whose mea
are greater. The observer sees
every hand men and m still "
the freshness of youth, who have
tired from active, bread vim
work and are ENJOYING life on
canltal saved by reasonable econoI
They have lived wisely-neit'
slaves nor prodigals-and their
cllning years are provided for.

wise that the surest and quickest way
to get rid of the ticks is by dipping
the cattle in a properly prepared ar
senical solution and that If all the cat
tie on a farm, be it large or small are
regularly dipped once every TWO
weeks for q period of a few months
all of the ticks on that farm Will be
destroyed. Since 1895, 139.S21 square
miles of territory, an area more than
three times the size of the state OF
Mississippi. has been freed from
ticks. What has been accomplished
in this territory can be done In all or
the region south Of the quarantine
line.
The formula for making an areeh-
ical solution which the United States
AGRICULTURAL department has found
most effective is as follows:
Sodium Carbonate (sal soda)........ "a lbs
White Arsenic ........'..'...''''' oioS'
Pine Tar 81
Water gal.
Mix the soda and arsenic within a
kettle containing 80 gallons OF water;
boil 80 minutes; let this solution cool
to 40 degrees, then slowly add the
pine tar. Pour the solution into the
dipping vat and add enough additional
water to make 500 gallons Of dipping
solution. Enough Of the dip should
be made to fill the vat to the desired
|, level. II the capacity Of the vat Is
1000 gallons, four times the amount
of the stock solution necessary to
, make 500 gallons should be pre-
pared.

Roosevelt in Africa

NO JOURNEY OF MODERN TIMES has at
tracted such great attention or excited such great in
terest as Roosevelt's journey through the Wilds of
tinent. The rising generation have been brought to
a more interesting realization of the Marvellous Won
ders Of the Heart of Africa.
This story Of magnificent achievement and wonder
full discovery, thrills and captivates the reader. Not
only Roosevelts journey is fully described, but also
experiences Of Stanley, Livingstone and Baker, in ex-
ploring the unknown wilds of this most wonderful
region.
ROOSEVELT, THE GREAT AMERICAN
HUNTER AND NATURALIST, goes to Africa
where the game is larger and more abundant and
there he shoots the largest and most ferocious of all
beasts the Lion, Rhinocerus and Elephant, and gets
the finest specimens of Monkeys and other animals.
ROOSEVELT WITNESSES the STRANGE
CUSTOMS of the strangest of all the Worlds Peo-
pie. Freaks of Medicine Men and Rainmakers. Pc
culiar Marriage Customs. Horrible antics of the
Wizards and Snake Charmers, Great Warriors that
make civilized people laugh, and Slave Drivers that
make Christian people cry.
The story of the African Explorations of these
Wonderful Travellers is a Brilliant Panorama of
Tropical Wonders that interests and educates the most
languid. Every page is full of thrilling incidents and
startling scenes, and the secrets of yesterday become
the knowledge of the world today.
A vast Treasury of all that is marvellous, interest
ing, wonderful and instructive in the Dark Continent
and with graphic descriptions of the mighty rivers,
wonderful cataracts, inland seas, vast lakes, great for
ests and diamond mines of untold wealth.

Roosevelt Among the People

Not since the time of Napoleon has there been a
man OF affairs on the worlds stage who has attracted
the attention Of all nations and classes of people as
does Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt.
The people Of America are anxious to know where
Roosevelt stands on the many problems of national
Importance confronting us today.
WHAT HAS HE SAID ON THE VARIOUS SUB
JECTS-WHAT POSITION WILL HE
TAKE IN THE FUTURE.
ROOSEVELT AMONG THE PEOPLE is an
authentic account of Ex-President Roosevelt's famous
speeches on the great questions Of today: The Tariff,
The Trusts, Monroe Doctrine, The Worker and the
Wage-earners, The Army and Navy, The Philippines,
Currency, Irrigation, Conservation, Education, Char
acter, Good Roads, ETC., etc.
The value OF this book really lies in the fact that
over his own signature Mr.. Roosevelt has declared it
to be authentic.
Another valuable feature of the book is the Sixty
Three Full Page Halftone Illustrations. These are
reproduced from photographs taken in many states
and shows the popular and versatile Ex-President sur
rounded by great throngs of people.

TO THE COMMISSIONERS

City Health Commissioner n. w. Cor

for reporting births and deaths has been
filed with the Board OF County Commits
sioners. The bill is for t5,725.75, for re-
porting 1884 births and o,6S9 deaths dur.
ing 1906, 1907. 1908. 1909. 1910 and the first
ten months OF 1911 The bill was filed
too late TO be considered by the board.
but at the next meeting will be referred
20 County Attorney James p. English
for an opinion as 20 whether or not It
should be allowed.
The claim Is made under the state law
providing for fees for local registrars OF
vital statistics for reporting such statis-
tics to the state registrar. The statute
says the fees shall be paid out OF the
county funds. Or. Connell is the local
vital statistics registrar
Members OF the Board Of County Com

OF the claim The statute on fees Is a bit
vague and there Is ground for the belief
that possibly It does not apply TO regis
