IN the production of Spanish peanuts
during the last few years is due to
this crop.
In order to show the profits that
can be made from this crop, take the
returns obtained by ]. B. Leach. of
Comanche, a great believer in pea
nuts. In 1909 Mr.. Leach sold an 80
acre farm to Walter Patrick with the
agreement that half of the eighty
acres should be cultivated to Spanish
peanuts for four years and that the
income should go to Mr. Leach. At
the end of this time the land should
become the property of Mr.. Patrick.
BY the fall of 1912. or in three sea-
sons the land had brought Mr. Leach
$4,000 or $500 per acre. AS good re-
turns usually can be obtained from
the peanut crop when it is market
ed through livestock as when sold
directly to the mills. Feeding the
entire crop on the land will have the
additional advantage of helping to
keep up the fertility of the land. No
farm will maintain the standard of
porduction IL all the crops that are
raised are hauled to the market and
none of the fertility returned to the
soil Hogs and cattle relish the hay
made from the vines and nuts har-
vested together or from the vines har
vested without the nuts The straw
left after the nuts are threshed is
also good feed for both horses and
cattle. 1t is generally recommended
thought, that when the hay or the
straw is fed to horses, that 1t be
given in limited amounts; and that
il should not be led to horses that
are driven fast and required to do
fast work.
Peanut hay and straw are rich
in protein or growth producing ma
terials and for that reason are good

Spanish Peanuts Bring Prosperity
A much larger acreage of Spanish
peanuts would be valuable addi-
tion to Oklahoma's agriculture. This
crop returns a high profit, either to
feed on the farm or to sell on the
market. One dollar bushel was
the average price paid for peanuts
by Russell and Duncan's Jobber's Mill
in Oklahoma City last year. 1t is
probable that that price will contin-
ue to be higker for several years,
for according to G. H. Russell, man
ager of the company. the demand for
the butter and oil made from the
peanuts is increasing much faster
than the production.
But even more important than the
profits that can be made from the
peanuts is the part they play in soil
fertility. They add nitrogen and
humus to the land and tend to make
the conditions much more favorable
for the following crops. This gives
the crop an important place in the
development OF the permanent agri-
culture in Oklahoma. for it is-essen-
tial that more attention should be
paid to conserving the soil fertility

any soil, unless good crop rota-
tion is adopted in which the legumes

CRIMSON CLOVER FOR
SOIL BUILDING

The lack of humus in the soil is
the greatest obstacle between the
farmer and big yields in the Frisco
territory. Most of the farmers real
ize the necessity of increasing the
supply of humus. but find it difficult
to accomplish and at the same time
produce a money crop each year.

Crimson clover is one of the most
economic soil building crops Its
ability to grow during the fall and
early spring and produce a crop in
time to be filled by early matur-
ing corn makes it very desirable.

gets the nitrogen from the air and

liar feeds. The hay made from the
vines without the nuts Is usually
valued at little more than half the
value of alfalfa hay.
If the peanuts are grown for feed
the usual practice is TO harvest the
vines and the nuts together or to cut
the vines and turn the hogs in the
field and let them harvest the nuts.
The peanut crop is sometimes used
as forage pasture for hogs in which
case the hogs are allowed to eat
both the vines and the nuts. They
|shcuid not be turned into the field
when this is done, until the nuts
begin to mature. Hogs should be
turned into the fields to clean up the
waste when the nuts are harvested
and hauled to market. Considerable
feed that otherwise would be lost
can be utilized in this way.
Hogs fed on peanuts fatten cheap
ly but the fat is soft and oily. The
peanuts, for this reason, never
should be made the sole feed for
fattening hogs. If corn is added to
the ration larger gains will be OBJ
tanned and firmer fat will be pro-
duced. Milo. kafir, feterita. can be
fed in the place of corn.
It was found at the Alabama Ex-
pertinent station that one acre of
peanuts, when harvested with hogs,
produced as much gain as 3.2O0
pounds of corn. This is equivalent
to yield of fifty-seven bushels of
corn per acre and there was no ex-
pense in the harvesting and feeding

piication OF eight tons OF manure per

crop Of Crimson clover. In some Of
the case the turning under Of the
under Of the stubble alone is worth
almost as much as the turning under
a. the entire crop but If the soil
is very poor in humus. however. the
entire crop should be plowed under
Crimson clover should be thor
oughly disced before it Is turned un-
der, as otherwise 1t is difficult to get
a firm seed bed for the succeeding
crop. The best results are usually
obtained by plowing under Just be-
fore the plant begins to bloom.
The young Crimson Glover plants
are easily killed by the hot sun or
the lack OF moisture and for that
reason considerable care should be
exercised in preparing and selecting
seed bed. The soil should be reas
onably fertile and whrever possible
a good application of well-rotted ma
nure should be made at the time of
seeding.
The seed may be sown by hand or
with any good grass seeder. About
fifteen pounds per acre of good seed
should be used and covered with a
light harrow, one-half an inch deep.
1t is well to select a cloudy day dur
ing the rainy season for the plant
n sgio as to insure a day for having
plenty of moisture. For most of
Southern Missouri and Arkansas the
seed should be sown during August
and September.
The seed bed should be firm, and
moist and well settled on top. If
clean cultivation has been practiced
during. the summer months so that
the land is free from weeds, no spe-
cial preparation is necessary other
than discing or narrowing. If plow-
ing is necessary it should be done
some time in advance of seeding so
as to have plenty of time to settle.
The land should be thoroughly disc
ed and narrowed until proper seed
bed is obtained 1t is well to have a
good rain after piowing and before
sowing the seed.
If the land has not grown Grim
son Glover before some form of in
oculation is advisable. This can be
done by applying to the soil two or
three hundred pounds from an old
Crimson clover field, or by using pre-
pared cultures. Where soil is used
for incubation it should be scatter
ed over the land late in the after
noon and narrowed in. If it is left
exposed to the sun. it will kill the
bacteria and will be of no use for
inoculation. If prepared cultures
are used, the printed directions will
come with the cultures and should
be followed explicitly.

 "Oh. Jerome! remember she is my friend"
 And you are worth ten of her." insisted Jerome convincedly. Don't let her spoil you, dear. Ever since l heard of her she's been running after this and that new cult. Now she is devoted to--what do you call it?-that soul shop"
 You shock mel" protested Ada. There is a select little group in the city who have organized a new spirit ual congress. They meet, discuss the higher ethereality, and really some of their literature is inspiring"

URGES USE OF COATS MILK
fold Advantages Over the Product of the Cow.

That many diseases are spread by milk is fact on which physicians are agreed. But they differ widely as to how the milk shall be made pure. Of course the ideal method is to in- sure the cleanliness of the dairy farms, the health of the cows and the sanitary condition of the pails, cans and bottles in which the milk Is placed. But this is both difficult and expensive.
 Many physicians urge the pasteuri- zation of the milk, that Is to say, It's heating to 40 degrees F., and its be- ing kept at that temperature for half an hour. Others say that this destroys the food value of the milk and 1t Is better to run the risk of septic sore throat. tonsilitis, scarlet fever, typhoid fever and diphtheria than to drink milk that is valueless as food.
 Another suggestion comes from an eminent English physician. Dr. Walter Edmunds of London who urges that cows milk be discarded in favor of goats Writing to the Lancet, he says:
 Goats practically never have tuber- cle, therefore their milk can be given without pasteurizing; further, it can be obtained fresh and clean. I once caught in a test tube milk from the teat of a goat being milked by a boy; the test tube was placed in an incuba- tor and remained sterile. Goats are small and cleanly animals, and can be kept in health even in the center of a large town; their milk is said to be better for infants than cows milk be. cause the curd is finer"
 The Goatssoeiety of England ealcu- lates that for every 21s cents spent on the keep of goat it returns one quart of milk.
