Hogs Fattened on Peanuts

Farm and FlreSide, the national
farm paper published at Springfield,
Ohio, prints in it's current issue an
interesting article by J. L. Cuneo en-
titled peanut Culture in Oklahoma"
showing how Spanish peanuts can be
grown in various parts of the country
and use as feed for hogs. Finishing
the hogs for market or getting them
ready for butchering for home con-
sumption has put the farmers in Okla
homa and in the semiarid regions of
the Southwest to severe test during
the past three years. Owing to dry
weather and hot winds the grain crop
during the past season was nearly q
failure in those parts of the country.
Hog raisers, finding that they could
no longer depend on the grain crop to
finish the pork, found that Spanish
peanuts met the requirements. Mr..
Cuneo writes in part as follows:
The peanut is one of the best
drought resisting crops that can be
raised, in fact it will stop growing
and wait for rain The plants will
wilt under the hot sun of the day,
but will be fresh and green the next
morning. 1t is very productive and
will do well on almost any kind of
soil, but is best adapted to light
sandy loan having clay subsoil.
In the summer of 1911 / had four
ceres of peanuts and although not a
drop of rain fell for As days, this
crop continued to grow, and 40 bu-
shells per acre were harvested. In
1912, on the same kind of land and
with half the cultivation of corn,
gathered IS bushels of peanuts and
20 bushels of corn per acre.
The most profitable way of raising
peanuts is to plant the crop, and after
the nuts are filled and matured cut the
hay and cure like clover, and let the
hogs harvest the nuts.
Last year the writer had a small
patch of peanuts, little less than an
acre. On September fifteenth the
vines were cut, and six hogs averag-
ing 80 pounds each were turned in to
harvest the nuts. On November fif-
teenth the hogs were again weighed,
and they showed gain of $50 pounds,
equivalent to $58 at the price hogs
were then selling. They were taken
off the peanuts and fed Kafr corn
two weeks and were ready for the
market.
While bigger gains and more profit
can be secured by feeding peanuts in
this way than any other, peanuts alone
will not put the hogs in the best shape
for the market, as the flesh will be
soft. and some grain feeding for a
week or ten days is advisable.

Alcoholic Statistics
(By United Press Associations

Washington, Dec. 29.-King Alco-
hol doesn't cause such a heavy per-
centage of deaths in this country as
might be supposed, according to gov
eminent statistics. Out of 753,30S
deaths during 1910, causes of which
were ascertained by the department
of commerce, less than three-e ighths
of 1 per cent were caused by alco-
holism. One-ninth of those who sue
cumbed to the demon rum were
women.
Natives of the United States are
not nearly so addicted to excessive
conviviality as those born in other
countries. Only three-tenths of l per
of which were wom-
ended from excessive drinking dur
ing 1910.
Scandinavians in the United States
sacrificed more of their numbers to
drink than any other nationality, four
fifths of the usual l per cent of deaths
being due to hard and sincere appli-
cation to it. 1t appears to be con-
fined almost entirely to the men of
this nation. Only one-twentys second
of the deaths in their ranks were of
the gentler sex.
Germans, supposed to be of a heavy
drinking nation, were below the gen
eral average in deaths from drinking,
two-sevenths of l per cent of the
deaths of Germans in America being
due to this cause One-twentieth of
them were women. The Irish paid
heavy toll, fve-eights of l per cent
dying from the cause. One-fifth of
them were women.
Italian women may well be proud
of the record set by the women of
their country in the United States
Not single death among those re
corded among Italian women was due
to the assimilation of rum in great
quantities, although Italian men died
from this cause to the extent of one
third of 1 per cent of the total num-
Der of Italian deaths.

Patent Monopoly Opposed

Washington, Dec. 29-President
Wilson recently indicated to members
of the house judiciary committee who
will draft the ADMINISTRATORS anti
trust program that he desires it to
include a provision striking at cor
porations that use the patent laws to
promote illegal combinations in re-
straint of trade.
The president is said to regard the
suppression of patents, device fire.
quently resorted to by large indus
trial concerns to prevent competi-
ton, as a serious evil. How to make
the Sherman law effective against
concerns that take shelter behind
their patent rights is the particular
problem which the president would
like to see solved.
A conservative estimate is that
thousands of patents have been
bought up and suppressed by large
manufacturers of automobiles, type
writer's, telephones, electrical! de-
vices and other machinery.

San Francisco, Dec. 29-San Fran
cisco county peace officers are aiding
the Richmond police to solve the mys-
terry of dynamite boat found yester
day in San Pablo bay, containing a
dynamite bomb with a clock attach
ment set for 1890, three automatic
revolvers, a shotgun, two rifles fitted
with silencers and bag of guncot-
ton. Three men arrested in the boat
giving the names of Charles King, II
Hanlon and Jos. Brown, denied they
planned any crime The authorities
are nonplussed and unable as yet to
fix the nature of the expedition. The
Richmond police believe at least one
man is an Industrial Worker of the
World and that he might have planned
demonstration of force by blow
ing up some structure.

Stranger Disappears

San Francisco, Dec. 29-Another
mystery was presented to the police
today in the disappearance of re-
fined and well-dressed visitor to San
Francisco, apparently retired bust
ness man, who had $1,000 when he
dropped from sight week ago.
His name is Ashton. No one in
San Francisco, apparently, knows
his initials or where he came from

Ten days ago Ashton engaged d
room at 1872 Cole street. He told the
landlady, Mrs. E. V. Sullivan, that
he was stranger and wanted to be
near the park. Later he disap-
peared, leaving his money.

OCALA HOUSE WILL
BIZ GREATLY IMPROVED

Mr.. Watterson Tucker, who will
have charge of the improvements
and changes in the Ocala House, was
interviewed Saturday by a Star re-
porter as to the extent of the i'm
prOvements and changes to be made
at once by Mr.. r. T. Adams.
Mr.. Tucker said that several. thou
sand dollars would be spent on the
building and the work will be COM
pIeted by early fall. To begin with
the front veranda will be rebuilt,
probably having stone or cement pill
lars. There is also a possibility of
thing the office and lobby floors, tho
this .has not been definitely decided
upon.
twenty-five or thirty lavatories
will be added to the rooms that do
mot now have them, thereby giving
running hot and cold water is almost
every bedroom in the house. A
good many of the bedrooms have re-
|cently been furnished with new and
up-to-date furniture and all of the
others will be refurnished in the very
best style. The contract for the fur
niture has been awarded to Messrs.
Theus-Zachry Co., while Mr. Tucker
will do the plumbing and electrical
work.
Handsome furniture, rags, etc,
will be bought for these rooms and
new carpeting for the halls and cor
ridOrS of the different floors.
The interior of all the bedrooms
will be refinished and worked over
making them as spick and span as
when brand new. Some changes and
Improvements Will be made in the
