PEANUT RAISING.

In spite of the interest that Guilt
waiting peanuts affords. very few of us
know how they are raised. All OF us
buy them at the stores, but we never
stop TO think how interesting the pro-
cess that they went through with in
order TO get there. Judging from the
small quantities that we see. we would
naturally think that peanuts were OF
little value, but we are mistaken. The
peanuts raised In Virginia alone bring
millions Of dollars every year.
Peanuts are planted about April.
They must be shclled, and in Smelling
them you must be very careful and not
break the red skin. 1t takes about
two bushels OF peanuts after they are
shelled to plant an acre of ground The
peanuts are planted in rows about
three FEET apart, and are covered with
dirt.
In n few weeks little green sprouts
stick their heads out of the ground,
After they are Il few inches high they
have to be worked and attended to Just
as you pillow and hoe corn. They are
plowed and hoed several times The
farmers are very careful to keep the
weeds out of them.
After some time they bloom md are
very beautiful. After while the blos-
SONS drop off. and the little green pea
nut appears. 1t grows this way for n
short while till it is ready. to ripcn aud
IL bchdS toward the ground. The pea
nut goes In the ground. and after some
time II ripens
Next they must be plowed or dug uD
just as potatoes. They are dug very
carefully, and arc stacked around q
pole in order to dry. After they are
dry they arc picked off by colored wo-
men and children. They must be sort
cd. They are put on a band and as
they pass along the colored people picl;
the bad ones out from among the good
ones. They are next put In bags and
sent to all parts of the world
II the crop is good. one acre will
produce twenty to 90 bushels

THE LITTLE vIoLINIsT.

they were late, and they came along in
such hurry that she forgot 10 change

Herr Professor did not notice il until

POUNDS! girl in the band! What does
il mean?'
Rudolph stammered, It's Frieda-my
sister-who was wild to play. so 1 gave
her my trousers TO wear"
Herr Professor looked at her disap-
pointed face and smiled, then said

THE THREE WISHES.

Once there was an old lady and man
who were very poor and lived far
out In the country. Not far from them
lived some very rich people. Now these
poor people had little to eat; they
hardly ever had anything but corn
broad and salad. One day while the
old lady was standing at the window
she sInclt some Bologna sausage cook
Ing In the rich house. She turned and
said TO her husband, Il wish we had
some OF that sausage" And before
she could say any more they heard
something in the corner of the room
say. Three wishes! Three wishes"
She stopped and looked up in the
corner OF the room. There she saw
tiny little fairy. The fairy had come
/ to give this poor old lady and man
three wishes. The wife was 10 give
them. So the ola man said: Now be
sure TO make good wishesu'
The old lady was still longing for
the sausage. and before she thought
she said: Il wish we had some Bologna
sausage!"
Now this made the man just furious.
and before he thought he wished II
was on his wife's nose. Now that was
two wishes. Now the old lady didn't
want n piece of Bologna sausage stuck
on her nose, so she wished II was off.
That was the end OF the three wishes:
and the old lady and man were no
better off than they were at first.

George Washington S
Birthday.

My Dear Girls and Boys:
know that all of you are sorry that
Washington's Birthday came on sun
day, because that means no school holi-
day; but whatever day it comes on 1t
is fine time for boys and girls to
atop and think what George Washing
ton really did for them. Now ] know
that each one of you can say as fast as
two and two is four-"l'irst in peace,
first in war and first In the hearts of
his countrymen"-and that you prob
ably do not care a rap about it, be-
cause 1t means nothing to you. Won't
you, all my dear little girls and boys,
ask your mother or your father or the
nuntic that always reads to you to tell
you something about why General
Washington was such great and good
man, and something ABOUT what he did
to make these United States that we
live in a free and lovely land? / am
sure that you will like the story.
Harry Chadwick has written us a
poem about the beautiful sea and the
summertime, and drawn us picture of
II, and / am so glad to see it. | really
think that the wintcrtimc, when the
snow comes down and tho winds howl
down the chimney like they were COM
ing right In after YOU, is the incest pos
siblo time to remember tho summon,
because it means there is spring in our
hearts, even though we are in the midst
OF snow and slect. We are mighty glad
that Harry Chadwick wrote us that
poem because some of us who are sick
and can't go out. and just have to stand
ut the nursery window with n shawl
around oar heads need to know that
summertime Is coming, with it's lovely
flowers and sunshine.
