nut experience, Mr.. Jones fed his
entire crop to his livestock-the
nuts to hogs and the hay to horses
and COWS. For the last ten years,
however, he has sold the nuts. He
will not sell bale of peanut hay,
for he says his cows eat it in prefer
ence even to alfalfa. He claims that
a farmer makes more money on pea
nuts at 60 cents bushel than on
cotton at 10 cents a pound. He
thinks, though, that rs cents bush
ell ought to be the minimum price for
peanuts and that no farmer should
sell them for less. He estimates
that the farmer can realize more
clear money from them as hog feed
than to sell the nuts for less than
IS cents a bushel.
On the Jones farm the peanut is
the principal crop. He plans to plant
twenty-five acres next year and let :
his hogs harvest the crop.
Another Grayson county man, An
dy Burch, has for the last seven
years planted from twelve to fifteen
acres in peanuts, but has never
gathered the nuts nor put up bale
of hay. His plan is to divide the
land into sections, separated by hog
proof wire fencing, turn the COWS
and horses into one section at time
to eat the vines and the hogs to root
for the nuts. He says that his pea
nut land is the most profitable of his
farm. He has some .twenty-seven
head of horses and cattle and about
fifty hogs this year harvesting the
crop. That number of hogs, he says,
will run two months or more on
twelve to fifteen acres of land and
get very fat.
The flesh of the peanut-fattened
hog is soft, however, and Mr..

acres in cane and oats as summer
pasturage for them. While he has
not kept an accurate account of the
profits from his system Of stock
farming, Mr.. Burch estimates that
his peanut crop last year was worth
from $500 to $3.50 in hog produc-
tion alone, not taking into account

Caring for Wounds.

In the sterilizing process of DR..
Carrel, the French-American sur
geon, every part of the wound is
flushed with antiseptic every two
hours. After a trial of 200 different
antiseptics, choice was made of a
specially compounded solution of
calcium chloride, sodium carbonate
and sodium bicarbonate in ordinary
water, and this is passed from con-
tainer through rubber tubes careful
ly placed and held in place by gauze
packing. The wound is dressed anew
every day, sterilization is soon COM
plete, and remarkable acceleration Of
healing is claimed.

and years but only as a, plant of
secondary consideration. Georgia
and Tennessee have long raised the
larger varieties in limited way,
but it is only within the last few
years that the little Spanish variety
has received recognition at all in
proportion to it's Importance. Here
tofore Georgians have been known
as "goober-grabblers'' but from the
present trend of progress of the pea
nut it appears that Texans will here
after be entitled to that distinction.
However, no one State can monopo-
lie the Spanish peanut. 1t has been
demonstrated that it can be profit
ably grown in Northern Illinois as
we'll as in Colorado and other West
ern States.
Try a Small Plot.
In view of the steadily increasing
price of all food products farmers
should prepare at once to plant at
least a few acres in Spanish peanuts.
There is perhaps no single crop that
will do more towards reducing the
high cost of living, both on the farm
and in the. city, than the peanut. 1t
is wholesome, nutritious and eco
nomical food for man and domestic
animals. It's production is simple
and inexpensive, and it is, from any
view point, a profitable crop.
Fine Success in Grayson County.
Seventeen years ago w. R. Jones,
an enterprising farmer of Grayson
county, Texas, planted two acres OF
Spanish peanuts as an experiment.
Finding the hay an excellent feed
crop for his cows and work stock
and the nuts a most excellent crop
for hogs, Mr.. Jones-has continued
to plant peanuts-not a two-acre
patch, but from fifteen and twenty
acres each year. Gradually his neigh
bors have fallen into the peanut
planting habit, until now it has be-
come a well-established and import
ant crop in the sandy land belt OF
Grayson county. A peanut factory
has been established at Denison,
which buys, not only the Grayson
county production, but that of other
sections of Texas, shipping the
shelled nuts all over the country.
That peanut growing has proven
profitable in the sandy sections bor-
dering Red river is shown by the
fact that in Grayson county the
acreage has almost doubled annual
ly for the last seven years. 1t is es-
timated to be twice as large this
year as it was last.
For the first few years of his pea

Popular and Profitable Peanut.

Popular and Profitable Peanut.
1t grows in the ground, but is not
tuber;
1t used to be known as groundpea
and goober;
The old Southern negroes all knew
it as pinder,
And their love for the groundnut
nothing could hinder.
Throughout the South and in
many of the Western States the pop
ularity of the peanut has, for the
past few years, been growing with
almost phenomenal rapidity. The
statement was made recently in the
Texas press that Johnson county now
has 10000 acres devoted to this
crop. At Cleburne, the county seat,
is located what is claimed to be the
largest peanut mill in the world. 1t
was originally built as cottonseed
oil mill, but is now also operated
for the manufacture of peanut oil,
peanut butter, salted peanuts and
peanut cake and meal.
In this day of great demand for
everything in the food line for both
man and beast the farmers OF the
South and West should "sit up and
take notice" of the growing value of
the peanut. Not only are the nuts
one of the most profitable crops that
can be grown upon sandy lands, but
the vines also make excellent and
easily cured hay. 1t is said that
swine will fatten on the nuts in a
shorter time than upon any other
feed and will do their own harvest
ing. All domestic animals thrive
upon the hay, and the peanut cake
or meal, after the oil has been ex-
tracted, has high feeding value.
The year 1911 was exceedingly
dry, yet peanuts were grown profit
ably in Colorado at an elevation of
$500 feet above sea level. That
same year this crop matured in Tex
as and Oklahoma after forty-hve
days of drouth during the growing
season. In Northern Illinois it has
also been found a profitable crop in
dry seasons. Farmers should begin
now to arrange for a peanut crop
next year. The best land on the
farm need not be devoted to it. The
Spanish peanut, as rule, has proven
the most profitable variety. Two
cottonseed oil mills in Texas last
season went into the business or
crushing peanuts on a large scale
and shipped out number Of tank
cars of the oil. Others went into the
work in an experimental way only,
but enough has been done to demon
strate thoroughly that the modest
little Spanish peanut is destined to
soon become one of the most i'm
portant food and feed crops in the
South.
That man is very slow to appre-
ciate the possibilities of development
of our most common crops is shown
in the history of the cotton plant.
Cotton, as a fibre plant, was known
to the ancients 800 years before
Christ. When this continent was dis
covered it was found growing in
Mexico and Peru as the principal
crop FOR clothing the natives, who,
by the way, had learned to manu-
facture cotton cloth quite we'll. Our
ancestors began raising it in the
South soon after the settlement OF
the first colonies; yet, it was only
after centuries of long acquaintance
with the plant that we discovered it
had other uses than that of making
fiber for our clothes.
We people Of the United States
have known the peanut for years

Patrolmen Purtell and Mahoney
and Building Inspector Cocoran, of
Ansonia, Conn.,, claim to have seen a
parrot which manicured it's nails with
penknife. While these men watch
ed, this bird picked up the knife from
the bottom of it's cage and, holding
it in it's mouth, carefully scraped it's
toes on the blade. When this was
done to the parrots satisfaction it
dropped the knife.

In all homes it is customary for
the host to assume the place of wait

takes his meals after all the others

Supreme Court SustainS Decision
of Lower Court In Jim Butler Case

A decision was rendered in the
famous case of the Jim Butler Min
ing company versus the West End
Mining company by the Supreme
court late last Monday afternoon.
The opinion was written 10y Chief
Justice Norcross and concurrcd in
by Justices McCarran and Coleman,
and affirms the decision OF Judge
Mark Averiil of Tonopah, and was
to the effect that the West End had
the apex and was entitled to the dis
puted ore in the Jim Butler territory.
The question Of the value OF the
ore or damages did not enter into
the case and no such contention of
an apex question had ever before
been presented to any appellate court.
The vein on the West End, as it is
called, is not an ideal vein according
to the ordinary Interpretation, but is
a fold, as it were, with the apex of
that fold on the West End property

Jim Butler ground and to the north
