HINTS ON RAISING PEANUTS
Valuable Crop In South and Southwest
Overlooked by Many Farmers--
Always In Demand.

Peanuts are very valuable crop In
the Southwest and South, where the
soil is light and the climate friendly,
but great many farmers do not seem
to know 1t.
The nuts can be raised more cheap
ly and more easily than corn and they
always bring good price.
Both horses and cattle are fond of
hay, and it makes excellent roughage.
Peanuts are one of the best crops
going for boys. because they seem to
take more interest in this than in any
other crop on the farm-particularly If
they are allowed to have the proceeds
The way to start is to get perfectly
good seed. The nuts should be
smooth, of good size. and free from
any blemish.
In Kansas and Missouri the seed
should be planted about the last of

ment of Agriculture)
In the cotton-growing sections Of the
South comparatively few cattle have
been kept, and they have not usually
been regarded as profitable. Yet 1t is
obviously to the farmers advantage to
be able to supply his family with an
abundance of dairy products, and, II
In addition, he raises calves that some
one will wish to buy he will find that
this can be done at little or nc cost.
AT the present time the United
States does not produce enough meat
to feed its own people; in consequence
every calf worth feeding for beef can
be sold for a good price. Ordinary
cows, however, bred to a good bull
Will produce calves that are worth
twice as much as those cows bred to
any little scrub that may be near at
hand.
For good calf eight or nine months
old, men who make business of feed
Ing cattle will pay from $40 to $50.
These men, however, will not put
themselves to the expense Of hunt
ing for such animals; they will buy
only in neighborhoods where a num-
Der can be secured at one time. To
obtain the best results, therefore, it
is important that a whole community
decide to improve it's cattle. But where
a start has been made the rapidity
with which the idea spreads is re.
markable.
Although the average farmer can
not afford by himself the expense of
a good bull to breed his cows to, the
organization Of bull club will enable
him to secure the services of one at
q comparatively low figure. For exam
pie, a good beef bull may cost $3.50.
-Four of them would do for 200 cows.
so that II club be formed of men
owning in the aggregate that number
each would have to pay three dollars
for each of his cows. The club may
be divided into four sections or
blocks" and bull assigned to each,
the bulls being changed around at the
end of every two years. In this way,
If nothing goes wrong, 1t will be eight
years before new purchases are nec-
essary. The old bulls can then be fat
tened and sold
In such plan 1t is obviously neces-
sary that the members decide to use
the same breed and keep to their de-
cision; otherwise at the end of few
years they will have lot of cattle
not much better than the scrubs they
started with. Herefords, Aberdeen.

PHoNoeRAPH IN THE KITCHEN
Some Suggestions That May BE Of
More or Less Interest to

baking powder. Work to a smooth
consistency during the playing Of the

last just long enough to get the mix

as it takes Caruso to sing the "La-

|coDFlsH ARE RAPID eRoweRs
Some Interesting Experiments wkh
Finny Revenue Producers.

The Norwegian director Of 1 h
cries, DR.. Johan Horst, has Just .;
oluded some interesting expeMn
designed to ascertain the extent OF
the migrations of the cod and the
rate of its growth, as well as the
probable rate at which the supply is
being exhausted.
Last year he caught 2,4OO of the
fish, and after marking them, re-
turned them to the sea. Two hun
dred and seventy-nine of these were
caught again the same season, which
shows, Of course, that the drain upon
the supply of cod is even larger than
has been popularity supposed.
The increase in the length of a
fish marked on May 26 and caught
on the 10th of the following Febru-
ary was considerably over 100 per
cent. 1t was shown, too, that during
the period named the fish had trav-
eled fully 1,7OO kilometen.
As result of his studies Doctor
Horst is not inclined to pessimism
as to the outlook for the industry.
While admitting that the proportion
Of fish caught every year is extremely
large, he feels certain that the ra-
pidity of their growth and the extent
Of their migrations are factors that
will prevent too serious drain upon
the supply, especially when the fish
cries are properly regulated by law.

LIVED BECAUSE 1T WAS PAT
Like Many Another AmericanIsm,
"AnxIous Seat" Needs No Apology
for Its Use Anywhere.

We are indebted to contemporary
for the information that an Ameri-
can preacher named Finney invented
the term "anxious seat" as the name
Of the bench upon which those con-
victed Of sin at revivals might sit to
signify their desire for prayers. The
expression was coined seventy or
eighty years ago and must have been
slang in its day. Having originated
in this country, it bears the added
opprobrium of being an American
ism and 80 should have been doomed
to death according to the purists'
standard long ago. 1t didn't die,
perhaps because its original slangi-
ness made it so much more snappy
than its British equivalent, "peni-
tent form," but what we are wonder
ing about is whethor RlLssSsG!asss
unch,berated Snee!ho6iary may not
supply some words to the stock Of

coinage which was new in the '3Os
and is venerable now.-St. Louis Re-
