Observation-Disclosures is a certa!

Observation-Disclosures is a certain
young woman Of Brooklyn who pos
sesses a hat Of which she is inordinate-
ly proud. 1t was a small hat originally
but the owner had increased its pro-
portions materially by the addition OF
willow plumes attached to wire back
bones.
Now, she wore this hat to a music
festival not long ago, and she felt
very much dressed up. AS she leaned
back gracefully and complacently in
her chair, she felt a gentle Juggling at
the aforesaid hat from behind.
So she turned and said to a self
possessed young man just in her rear:
Does my hat annoy you?"
Not at ALL" said the young man.
She Of the hat thought 1t over for q
while. 1t occurred to her that perhaps
she had been ungracious. Accordingly
she turned again, this time with this
query:
Perhaps the plumes interfere with
your view of the stage?"
AT first they did," confessed the
self -possesserd young person, but

AS no definite rule can be given by
which to determine when peanuts are
ready to dig, each grower must de-
pend largely upon his w judgment.
In the lower south, where frosts do
not occur until quite late, the vines
assume a yellowish appearance when
the peanuts are mature. Peanuts
should be dug when the vines have
the Creates number of mature pods.
Beginners in peanut growing should
be careful not to dig too soOn, as i'm
mature nuts shrivel and are light in
weight when cured. A few early-form-
ed peas are likely to sprout before dig
ging time, especially if there is a
period of rainy weather about the
time the peanuts are maturing, but
usually the loss by %sprouting is not
great.
Peanuts are ordinarily plOwed from
the ground with a 1-horse turnplow
which has the moldboard removed to
prevent throwing dirt over the vines.
The pillow should be so regulated that
the peanut root can be cut off at any
desired deplh. The machine potato
digger does very satisfactory work
and will dig eight to ten acres n day.
This machine removes the peanuts
from the ground and also shakes off

Varieties Of Peanuts
The principal varieties Of peanuts
grown for market are the Virginia
Bunch, Virginia Runner and Spanish,
For roasted peanuts sold in the pod
the Virginia type Is mainly grown,
For shelled nuts, used in making
sailed peanuts, peanut candy, peanut
butter, ETC., the smaller peas of the
large podded varieties are used: also
a large part Of the Spanish, North
Carolina and Valencia varieties. The
cradle proportion Of the shelled nuts
and for stock feeding purposes it is
to be preferred, az it a be grown
under a wider range of conditions and
has a higher food value than any other
variety. The Valencia and North
Carolina varieties are also grown to
some extent for feeding purposes.
' Peanuts for Live Stock.
AS already mentioned, the peanut
is a valuable crop for various types
of live stock, especially hogs. Few,
if any, crops will produce more
pounds of pork on an acre of land or
produce it at a lower cost per pound
than peanuts. A 40-bushel crop of
Spanish peanuts will produce 400 to
500 pounds of pork to the acre, and If
the hay is harvested before the hogs
are turned i'm ii will nearly pay for
the cost Of growing the crop. In ad-
diti0n to the profit on the pork, the
crop-producing capacity of the soil
will be materially increased. BY max
ing successive paintings, a previously
suggested, the earliest crop should be
ready for the hogs by the first of
August. and the last crop should be
available until the ground freezes.
In p%asturing hogs IN peanuts it is
best to confine them to small areas by
