Most of the peanuts which have
been grown in the west so far have
been harvested with hogs, and for the
present that is undoubtedly the best
plan. In a few places they are grow.

where they do the peanuts are loosen

how quick they cure. they are 9ut
into stacks convenient for threshing.
The nuts are then threshed with
regular peanut threeher. and then hay
baled and stored or sold. The practice

hogs TO harvest the nuts, Is one which
appeals to me as the plan for the be-
ginner. 1t was at first thought chat

economic gains. as the hog was known

cent tests have shown that a hog viii

he is fed on the nuts alone as when
turned on a field OF vines and all.
The reason evidently lies in the fact
that the hog eats the peanuts, hull and

the bulk or the balancing element

the most economic fattening rations

seems that nothing is gained by feed
