said 10 he of Very
High Grade.

The Planters Oil Company Is eX-
perimenting this week with crush
ing peanuts. and Manager freo
Noteworthy invited representatives
Of the Daily Light to visit the min
and see how they go about making
ou meal and cake out of peanuts.
Tho planters company this week re-
eaived a car of little Spanish pea
nuts which are being crushed III
the same manner that cotton seeu
are crushed to remove the oil. III
is found that the peanuts yield about
three times the amount oil oil that
cotton seed Yields and the cake Is
said to be Just as valuable as cot
ton seed cake for feeding livestock
The peanuts were bought at Den
ton and shipped here for the ex-
periment. First they are started
through a cleaning process when
continues as the peanuts are being
crushed into meal All the trash
and dirt is removed, after which the
hull and kernel are crushed together.
The crushing process calls for the
passage through several machines
each one grinding the mixture timer
than the one before After the mix
ture of hull and kernel is ground
TO a mulch it is cooked and then put
into the press and the oil removed.
When the press starts up the oil be-
gins to flow and before the press is
stopped it almost gushes forth.
The cake resembles the ordinary
cotton seed cake when removed
from the press and is handled in
the same manner 1t is then cut
into small pieces either as cracked
cake or ground into meal. The oil
is golden yellow and looks good
as it comes from the press. This oil
is said to be worth from 50 to 80
cents a gallon. The cake and meal
will sell for $4,000 a ton There is
nothing that will give better re-
turns when fed to livestock. 1t is
perhaps the nearest ideal hog Need
that can be had. Hogs will eat pea
nuts in preference to anything else
The peanut is becoming a most
profitable crop in some sections OF
Texas, but it cannot be grown with
best results in tight land. In sandy
land the peanuts thrive, the yields
being from so to rs bushels to the
acre. During the past year the pea
nuts sold for 60 to 70 cents pei
bushel Planters estimate that the
hay crop will pay for the threshine
and probably the sacks. Some far
mers have cut out the expense oil
threshing by marketing their pea
nuts through hogs. Experiments
have shown gains of as much as
three pounds day where hogs were
fed On peanuts. The packers dis
criminate to some extent against
hogs fed on peanuts without grain
but farmers are learning to fatter
their hogs on peanuts and top them
off on corn for about thirty-five
days which makes the meat just as
firm as if the hogs had been fattened
on corn.
Mr.. Noteworthy says he doesn'
know what success he will have with
his peanut undertaking. but thai
other mill operators claim that it is
successful and ,he is trying it out
If the peanut oil proves a paying
proposition it is likely that oil mills
all over the country will buy ur
peanuts and crush them, extending
the operating season to greater
part of the year

THE following rc&sona are given
for warning cotton growers against
planting any variety that usually
produces staple Of less than seven
eighths inch in length
/. Cotton OF less than seven
eighths inch staple is CT approx
mately the same spinning value as
the bulk OF the cotton Of India. On
economic principles. the American
product should he maintained on a
higher level OF intrinsic worth than
that of India in order that the Amer
can crop may not be forced to com
pete in the markets OF the world
with the cotton OF India
2. Cotton Of less than seven
eighths inch staple is inferior to the
average American quality, and 10
eaHties that produce such cotton in
appreciate quantities soon establish
regulations for an inferior product.
The price of all cotton in such mar
kets VIII suffer on account OF the
poor reputation OF the market.
3. Competent cotton buyers dis
crimlnate against extremely short
staple whenever such cotton is dis
covered. They should be equally
careful TO discriminate in favor Of
cotton OF good staple. The farmer
who produces inferior cotton is like
IL to find that his product brings a
price materially lower than quota
tons would Indicate as It's true value.
The seller commonly looks upon such
discrimination as penalty, while
the buyer considers that he is pay
ing tho run value for an inferior com
modify
4. Under the common practice Of
the cotton trade the price of spot
cotton is governed largely by future
quotations. In order that future
might more accurately re-
fleet the value OF spot cotton, con
grcss, in the United States cotton
futures act. provided a form Of con
tract exempting from the tax i'm
posed by the act on which cotton If
low grade or which is less
than seven-eighths inch in length of
staple is not deliverable This ac-
tion by congress was intended pri-
marily for the benefit of produc-
ers One of its results was the adop-
tion by the New York and New Or
leans exchanges OF the exempted
form of future contract so that cot
ton OF less than -eighths inch
in length of staple cannot be deliy-
cred thereon. This legislation in no
way affects any sale OF spot cotton,
3. As the variety of seed planted
is the primary factor in determin-
Ing length OF staple and rs there ar
early maturing prolific varieties
which produce q staple of at least an
inch IN length, no farmer or com
is justified in planting an in-
terior variety OF in expecting the
full market price for debased ar
ticle of commerce.

my doing this. 1t is just on account OF
that love affair. L. HARDY.
On the floor lay an empty pistol. and

met death. Another bullet was buried
In the pillow. probably a first shot hired
The "Friend Jim" to whom the former
Jockey addressed his note, was James

Sterling denied any knowledge Of the
love affair the note referred to, although
he said Hardy appeared to have been
grieving over something since the meet
at Pimlico started.
He said Hardy's home was in Brook

Hardy was one OF the best jockeys In
the country, Sterling declared. but the
nightmare that finally runs every jockey
ldown-increased weight-overtook him
and blighted his career. He was about
twenty-six years old.
While nothing definite Is known OF
Hardy's love affair. he Is said to have
become engaged to a girl in Arlington

stared as a jockey, and she married
