WINTER WORK FOR STALLION
He Should, at Any Rate, Be Given OPP

Proper Feed.

During the late summer, fall and
winter, the stallion should, If possible,
be worked just like any other horse.
If this is not possible, he should. at
any rate, be given an opportunity to
take regular exercise.
The feed also should be about the
same as for any other horse. Feed

in addition give enough Of good

Hog Them Off.

This offers better comparison OF
relative feeding values than does the
50 per hundred weight figure. All that
is necessary to do is to plant and Gull
tivate the peanuts. The hogs will do
the rest of the work. They will har-
vest them and do it cheaper and more
effectually than it can be done by any
other method, especially If the crop
is to be fed with the idea of producing
meat. Where wet weather comes
along in the fall and prevents the pea
nut grower from harvesting the crop
In the usual manner, he is lucky man
lie he has hogs enough to turn in and
CLEAN the crop.
Peanut hay has about the feeding

period and cured in the proper man.
fler. BY moving the peanuts and turn
ing in the hogs as soon as the hay is
out Of the way nothing of the crop
will be lost. The bunch varieties of
the peanuts are more satisfactory
where it Is intended to make hay Of
them. They will stand up better for
the cutting, and it Is often the case
that ton or more Of hay to the acre
can be saved. Then turn the hogs in
and let them do the rest.
Where the hogs are to be finished In
corn after they have cleaned up the
peanut crop it will be a good plan to
feed them some corn while they are
running in the peanut field. Fed with
the peanuts the corn will have very
high feeding value, and you can al
most see the fat gathering on the AMI
mails. 1t is always better to start feed
ing the corn, in any event, some two
or three weeks before they are taken
off the peanuts. AS ration for hogs
peanuts have the following strong
points: There is no harvesting ex-
pense. the manure is left on the land,
the land is enriched by the nitrogen
gathered by the plant roots, and last,
but by no means least, you get cheap

Where the peanut is grown the vines,
containing great deal Of the plants
value, should be saved. Where the
nlants stand till after frost and the
leaves fall, much Of the feeding value
Is lost. When saved peanut straw
makes good roughness, and 1t Is al
wP5s very well worth the trouble Of
ssving. In any section where's live

Bodily Housekeeping

(BY V. M. PIERCE, III. d.
The subject Of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years Investigation by
means of X-rays, the observations of
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner,
Pavlov, Fowler Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water taken during di-
gestion is necessary In good bodily
housekeeping.
If your kidneys are sick, or you sui,
fer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain In the back or back of the
neck, take little Anuric before meals.
This can be found at any good drug
store. Therefore my advice to young
or old is, always drink plenty of pure
water. And for long life, occasionally
take tablets Of Anuric three or four
times tax.
Anuric bets much more quickly
than lftliaL You will find 1t dissolves'

No Better Crop for Live Stock
Feeding Purposes.
Value Of Hay In Fattening Hogs Is
Becoming Better known-Goober
Offers Unusually Cheap Way
Of Producing Pork.

Not so many years ago peanuts were
given little serious consideration as
field crop. The acreage in those COM
munities, where they have been grown
and fed to live stock, is increasing
every year. 1t Is doubtful If there is
a better crop for feeding purposes
than peanuts in those regions where
they can be successfully grown, writes
G. B. McAfee of Oklahoma In Farm
Progress.
They are one of the most palatable
of feeds. With the cotton acreage I'M
dergoing O. reduction and live stock
taking it's place to some degree In
many sections, the farmer who Is look
ing for a good feed should not over
look the once humble peanut. For
some wears farmers have been using
peanuts In fattening hogs and the
value Of the hay is becoming better
known and more of it is grown. In
the feeding Of hogs, peanuts are par
ticularly valuable.
The prize hog at the big Texas In
dustriaI congress was fattened at "a
cost OF about $3.50 per hundred weight.
Some years ago one of the southern eX-
pertinent stations found that peanuts
would produce high grade Of pork at
the cost of about So q hundred pounds.
Doubtless this latter figure would have
to be revised somewhat now, but I'M
doubtedly the peanut still offers an I'M
usually cheap way of making work.
Some time ago one Of the experiment
stations conducted careful expert
ment in the production Of pork from
peanuts and found that an acre Of the
"goobers" would produce anywhere
from 400 to 800 pounds of hog meat.
