Peanuts a Paying Crop,
The splendid results with peanuts
that have been obtained in the south-
ern states for many years have focused
attention upon the peanut possibilities
of the middle west and the southwest,
says the Country Gentleman. Califor-
nia Is also an important peanut pro-
duciag region, but with all this enor-
mous production of peanuts this coun-
try does not produce all the peanuts
required for domestic consumption.
The average annual imports from Af-
rica, China, India and other places
amount to 20,000,000 pounds, valued at
approximately $1,000,000. It will be
seen, therefore, that there is opportuni-
ty for the prospective peanut grower.
Cultivationof the peanut has long
since passed the experimental stage,
and the practices that govern the man-
agement of a well ordered peanut plan-
tation are as clearly defined as are
those of an orange grove in Floridaor
a vineyard in California.

NERVES WERE BAD
Hands Would Tremble So She Could Hat
Hold Paper to Read.
When the nerves become shaky the
whole system seems to become unstrung
and a general feeling of collapse occurs,
as the heart works in sympathy with the
nerves.
Mrs. Wm. Weaver, Shallow Lake, Ont,
writes: "I doctored for a year, for my
heart and nerves, with three different
doctors, but they did not seem to know
what was the matter with me. My
nerves got so bad at last that I could
not hold a paper in my hands to read,
the way they trembled. I gave up
doctoring thinking I could not get better.
A lady living a few doors from me ad-
vised me to try a box of Milburn's Heart
and Nerve Pills, so to please her I did,
and I am tong, thankful
ng m for
own
k
for I am strong, y
without help."
Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are
50 cents per box, 3 boxes for $1.25; at
all druggists or dealers, or mailed direct
on receipt of price by The T. Milbuzu
Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont.
RADIUM AS FERTILIZER.
An Experimenter Asserts That 1t Wi11
Increase Yield of Land.
Radium as a fertilizer is a uew'idea
in farming. It is asserted that it will
increase the yield of land from 50 to
100 per Cent.
So says Dr. II- A. Rushy of the New
York- College of Pharmacy. Ile has
been experimenting with radium solu-
tions on a tiny farm at Nutley, N. J.,
for the Last two years. Recently he
presented. bis results to the American
Pharmaceutical association.
Dr. Rushy diluted his radium three
milligrams to a ton of water. This, he
says, will fertilize thoroughly twenty
acres of land at an approximate cost
of $30. The farm was only an acre
and one-half iu extent, but In small
patches he raised practically all the
vegetables used by northern farmers.
Fifty pounds of his solution to the
acre gave the best results in the great-
est number of cases. Some vegetables
required more.
On the whole, however,. Dr. Rushy
found his experiments particularly en-
couraging. Cucumbers, squashes, mel-
ons. radishes, carrots, corn, cabbage
and a host of others responded most
satisfactorily to the ,treatment and
gave results far above their normal
output.
The use of radium as a fertilizer, Dr.
Busby avers, did not originate with
Win. When it was found that weak
solutions of radium salts applied to
cancer only stimulated its growth sci-
entists began to experiment with it
upon plants. In the beginning sill of
the solutions which they used wore , ••
far too strong,. The New York buten• •
!cal gardens anti the Cuiversfty or
Prague were the first to mike sucee:s-
fui experiments,

Cowpeas and Corn.
Cowpeas are a good crop to precede
corn because they provide nitrogen.
which is much needed by the corn.
The F'•rtilixing Raln.
Probably few students of agriculture
realize the fertilizing qualities of tropi-
cal rains. In the Annales de Geogra-
phie M- Guillaume Copus, who has
chemically studied the effects of rainy
weather in French Indo-China, says
that lightning produces large amounts
of nitric acid. In the thirteen dis-
tricts of the Tonkin delta of Indo-Chi-
na, where thunderstorms are lightning Id. Capas asserts that the
annually produces an amount of at-
mospheric nitrogen equivalent to 181,•
390 tons of nitrate of soda, or 137,510
tons of sulphate of ammonia, the
value of which Is nearly $20.000,000.
Diversification of crops bas
been agitated so much in the •
south that its importance in •
northern states has been over- •
looked. Farm surveys show, •
however, that the farms in the •
north yielding the highest net •
profit are those that have a va- •
riety of sources of cash income. •
In a profitable section of central •
New York we find that most •
farmers produce hay, potatoes, •
cabbage, beans, fruit and some •
live stock for sale. This win- •
ter potatoes, fruit and cabbage
have all been low in price, but •
because of their variety of prod •
-
ucts these farmers have been in- •
cured against total failure. The •
coming year or two is certain to
be a period of fluctuating prices, •
Everything points at present to
high prices for such staples as •
wheat, pork end beef, but there
is no assurance that there will be •
any substantial improvement In
the prices of potatoes, vegetables •
or fruit, Therefore it will be •
only an expression of foresight- •
edness for the farmer to throw •
out a little anchor to windward •
in the form of a few acres of a •
staple that has a good local de- 4
mend. •
Specialties are a good thing in
the long run, and the fellow who •
has two or three is going to be
the one who will bridge the pe- •
riods of price depression.—Coon-
try Gentleman. •

valise or cotter cream.
Invariably hitter milk or cream Is
caused by bacteria, and bacteria that
causes bitterness in dairy products
thrive at low temperature, says Hoard's
Dairyman. We very seldom have bit-
ter flavored milk during the summer
months, but very frequently during
the fall and winter. We suggest that
all milk utensils he thoroughly cleaned
and scalded with boiling hot water;
then hold the cream at a temperature
of not lower than 00 degrees F. It is
possible that it will be necessary to
keep it at 70 degrees. The germs that
els
cause bitter flavors in dairy p
do not thrive at these temperatures.
Silage Por Calves.
Feed young calves all the corn silage.
they will consume. In the beginning,
select some of the finer portion, such
as the fine leaves and some of the
shelled corn in the silage. They will
very soon learn to eat this readily.
Then the coarser parts of the silage
may be fed. --Hoard's Dairyman.
