There will be daily lectures by DR..

The program will be stronger in enter
tainments than ever before but also
plenty to think about.
There will be many things not fixed
on the program for any specific hour,
such for example as the cooking school
in charge of one of the most famous
cooks from the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
There will be health lectures daily by
DR.. Geisel and Kings school in opera

Institute, which will probably be in ses-
sion at the same time.
While the program will not cover so
many days as formerly there will be
many more events each day. This
should encourage strangers to come for
the shorter period as they will get far
more per day than ever before. Every
hour will be fully occupied from eight
in the morning till the end of the even
ing program.
Fewer celebrities are engaged this year
but these people all have a clean record
for keeping engagements and will be on
hand at the proper hour, and further
more, while not internationally famous,
will in every case give superb satisfac-
ton.

FEEDING HOGS ON PEANUTS.
Z. w. McLcndon OF BishOpville Has
Tried This and Has Found 1t Profit
able.

BlshopVllle, Feb. 4.-Anything that
VIII take the place of corn as a feed
and not only take it's place but do
the work better and cheaper will tend
to conserve the corn crop and will
therefore leave the corn crop to go
further and hence be equivalent 10
the making Of more corn.
This being taken for granted the
experience of G. w. McLendon in
planting peanuts as a hog food will
be Of interest at this time. Mr.. Nc
Lendon' in addition to what will be
set forth below, is also some chicken
raiser, as the accounts of awarding
of prizes at the poultry show last
week will testify.
Mr.. McLendon this year planted no
cotton on two-horse farm but plant
ed grain exclusively in IA acres Of
his corn which was planted in six
foot rows nine inches in the drill and
made an average yield Of 40 bushels
TO the acre and one ton of hay to
the acre; he planted Spanish peanuts
in the middle of the row and about
August Is started pasturing this field
for hogs. Starting with SO has fed no
corn since that time up to this writ
ing, with the exception of feeding
the hogs selected for killing for about
15 days before killing on corn to
make the flesh and lard solid.
He now h. on this same field 73
hogs and pigs which are all in fine
condition.
1t is his opinion that the hay pro-
duced by the adding Of peanuts vine
to the peavine hay makes it much bet
ter as a food for cattle and stock.
Mr., McLendon made the above corn,
peanuts and peavine hay with only $50
pounds of nitrate Of soda per acre and
no other fertilizer. He has sold off
enough meat and corn to show a
profit on the field and still has above
73 hogs living and kept in good con-
dition by grazing on this peanut corn
patch exclusively, with the larger
part of the corn and fodder in his
barns
