Farm and Ga.rden I, PROFIT IN PEANUTS. New Demand For Them In Manufao- - tura of Oil and For Food. Government experts say peanuts can be grown successfully wherever corn grown, so the notion that the peanut ' ,1s exclusively a soutbern product is erroneous. Many farmers in northern !Kates already putter with peanuts. chiefly to give the children a supply, but it is highly probable that in a very •nhorf time the succuleut goober pea :will be planted largely in states north Of Masotj and Dixon's line for profit. Agents of the agricultural depart- ` "anent report that in the states of Ar- kansas, Louisiana and Texas there ,will be planted% this year three times the acreage of peanuts that was grown ,•; last year. They estimate that in these .three states alone there will be 100,- ar FIELT OF SHOCKED PEANUT VINES. 000 acres in peanuts. Heretofore the great peanut section has been the tide- water country of Virginia, where thou- sand of farmers grow peanuts as their princlele crop and make good money from them. The , agricnlbtral department has been experimenting witb peanuts in ,the southwest, where the boll weevil 'destroys much cotton, and has discov- ered that they produce crops that pay abetter thin cotton. Peanuts are im- mune to all kindle of injurious insects. The present consumption of the pea - twit in -the United Stn,tes for confec- tions alone "is greater than the pro- duction, and thonsande of bushels are ' imported annually. The oil matte from the nut is said to ibe second only to olive oil and superior to the cotton- seed prculrct It can be /produced at the cnttnn oil milis'•and gins throughout the south and with a wimple process bottled and canned. ITests merle by the eevartment of a>g- fur medical purposes and as a supstf- tnte for olive. oil. In the meanwbile, however, thet'e ap- pears to be but little need for a pea- nut oil industry to dispose of the crop. Experiments conducted by practical farmers last year showed that mann torts or valuanle nay go witn tee peanut crop, while after the peas have been gathered hogs can be turned in on the ground and fattened without other food. Several cars prepared for market off the ground used in peanut culture brought top prices on the mar- ket this year after having been round- ed oft by corn the last two weeks be- fore shipping. It takes but a few months to mature the peanut crop, and last year it was found possible to follow it up on the same land with Irish potatoes, and in some cases the second crop of Spanish nuts has been produced. it has been estimated by the United States department of agriculture that, sold at 30, cents.a bushel, the farmer can make money off this ,crop In the mouth. and last year he received from 90 cents to $1.50 per bushel. EXERCISE CARE IN — SELECTING BOAR, POINTERS ON DRAFT HORSES The selection of the boar is very im- portant, and it is the opinion of the writer that some farmers do not have as much success as they should and could have in raising hogs simply be-” cause they do not exercise the care necessary in selecting the male to be used in their herds. The boar should be selected with greater care than the sows, for his influence equals the combined influ- ence of all the sows of the herd. A superior boar may be used on a su- perior herd of sows with good res.ults, but the use of an inferior boar on sows of high quality will have a disastrous outcome. The one method raises the. standar tof_thah rsi:_tbe_nthertnvari- ably lowers it." - A boar with male • characteristics strongly developed should be selected, preferably as a yearling or else as a pig that has been purchased at the same time as the sows and allowed to come to maturity before being used. • He should have a well .erected neck and a strong masculine . head. Hie shoulders should be developed accord- ing to his age. However, strong shoul- der development in pigs under a year or eighteen months old Is objection- able. The boar should be selected to cor- rect onrect any defects that may be common to the sows. For example. 1f the sows, are rather coarse in bone and loosely built the boar should have bigb qual- ity and fine bones, skin and bair. 11 „P13ANUT8 FRESH PROM GROUND. „r'icniture show that tt win stand for * year or more simply corked in a glass bottle and will not become the least bit rancid.

[By courtesy of .towa State college,] An expert authority on breeding horses levee the following intormlation. on the draft horse, an animal that playa an important part in .farm work at this season of the year. He says: I will undertake to give you a few simple rules to go by in the selection of horse breeding stock. In all nay ex- perience of the last thirty years 1 have acquired a good many rules, 1. have found from my experience and obser- vation that if you will observe a few simple rules you will not be misled very much in your selection. You must keep in mind what be is for. He is not to he cut up into steaks, and roasts, like the steer.. He an is animal of strength. In other words, he is a steam engine on a small scale. His duty Is to draw a load and pull. heavy weights. And as long as ,that is true you can see the importance of size,. Here weight alone helps to move the load, A horse that weighs a. ton moves a load, easier than the. 1,800 pound horse, Being in the nature of a machine, to FINE SPECIMEN OF PEBOHERON. [By courtesy of Iowa State college.] do the best work he must be properly ;proportioned; he must be balanced. The -most important thing in any draft horse is his legs. That is where you get the endurance, and, then, his feet must be good. Look out for his feet and legs. .That is where he gets his power, And you want the legs under the corners, like a table. Build a horse and a table in the same way. You will be surprised if you will takethe time to look at the different shapes of horses' legs. The table legs come down to strike • the 'ground, and they are • straight, and so you have the essen- tials to, start with. But the horse's legs May turn.' out at the bottom, or he ,may be knockkneed, or he may spread -at-the--knees•-and,-t-he-feet--bend-in,--or- his front legs may set too far apart or • too far back: • I ;might go on to enumerate other positions of the feet and legs that are bad,but there is oue thing I have no- ticed -you : take a horse with the legs squarely under the corners and nine titres out of ten he has a sloping shoulder and a short back. - • Buying one for breeding purposes. I would not buy a long back at any price. While we have a number of laws governing the°purchase of horses, :I would judge a stallion rather by his good, strong back and his legs. If yo have a good level back, plentyof length, withthe help of sound joints and good feet, the rest can be done in feeding. I want a clean joint, not a joint that shows, and sound texture of both bones and muscular'fber. I can- not describe the bone I would prefer any better than by comparing: it with a razor blade. • :Take the razor with the back of the razor forward and you have a good description of the leg construction of the horse. You want what we call a medium bone. "Aud in the selection of young' stock -take the horse, for in- stance -I buy a good many at four years old. They are long, hardy look- ing and comparatively thin.. They do not look prepossessing at all. I like• to buy them at that time. You take one of those, colts that is good, with a good set of legs and suffi- cient bone, and he makes a good horse. He should have heavy, sloping shoul- ders and good feet. And, though be may have a long head and his joints look big, 'I care nothing for that, but. only for good bones, but the average farmer would say that he is too coarse. I know he will win out, and nine times out of ten he will make a high priced, Perfect draft horse. the sows tend toward overrefinement and delicacy the boar should be rather. rangy and strong boned. The same indications of a good pork producing carcass that the sows re- quire should be seen in the bear --a broad, straight, deeply fleshed back, much depth and length of -sides and well developed hind quarters. The visible organs of the reproductive sys- tem ys-tem should be Well developed and clearly defined.

My father, a very old man of eighty-five years, told me that he often heard people recommend Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pbea Pills to great cure so thought it would do no harm to give them a trial, but I had very little faith in them.

RATIONS FOR THE CALF. Feeding the Youngsters Teo Early May Prove injurious. It is well to leave the calf .by itself for at least twelve hours and, in case the calf has runwith its mother for several days, possibly twenty-four hours. Attempts to feed the calf ear- lier artier than this usually de' the calf ne good and may injure the feeder's tem- per. Such is the opinion of an an- therity on dairy matters. If the calf's muzzle is held in the milk and its mouth pried open once so that it tastes the milk it will drink withoiit the feed- er being obliged to place his band in the milk and allow the calf to suck his finger. The calf is unable to handle hay or grain until It is a week or ten days old. During this period it is not •wise to try to feed skimmilk.. At first the whole milk should be fed three times a •day -four pounds in .the morning, two pounds at noon and four pounds at night -at blood temperature. • In about a week or ten days the gall can be fed twice daily. • During this time the allowance of whole milk can be gradually increased to abopt twelve pounds. This amountdepends some- what on Its ability to handle increased, quantities The stomach of the young calf is very delicate, and all changes should be made gradually. When about two weeks the calf, if a strong, vigorous one, can be .gradually changed to skim-. • milk During the first day decrease the amount .of whole milk one pound and add one pound of sklinmilk,' and so on each day until the cbange is com= _plate. Previous' to this the calf should have a'little. grain {corn or Kaffir corn :meal or a little mixture of both). placed in its mouth ,immediately after drink- ing its milk. In this way it gets a taste of the grain and will soon go to the feed boxes and eat with 'a relish. After the change to skimmitk is com- pleted the amount may be gradually increased as fast as the calf is able to consume : it without scouring. Care must be taken not to increase too rap- idly.. The calf ,is, a greedy animal and will appear more hungry after drink- ing its milk than before, and if given too much it will soon be on the sick list: The milk fed sbould be weighed or measured at each feeding.. Our ex- perience xperience has: been that a calf threeto five weeks of age can be fed from ten to twelve pounds daily, from seven to eight weeks old fourteen to sixteen pounds, and when three to five months of age can be fed eighteen to twenty pounds. of milk. The milk •should, al- ways be fed warm and sweet. Webb' For Hors. Lice.

THINGS THAT WILL BUILD UP THE HERD The following is what a man promi- nent in .dairy circles nag to say re- garding the building up of Om dairy herd: in my experience of a` good many years I have found that three eesen- tnal rules should be Rept in mind and adhered to as nearly as possible if the highest success is to be attained. First and Most important is to know the constitutional vigOr: This may be known by the general appearance: or the animal, which will be alert, 'vigor - nus and show general thrift. I give this that place because the next tWG qualities depend very largely on a good constitution. No animal can make good and economical use of feedwith- out a strong digestive apparatus, good nerve force and strong heart and lung action. The second point is to selectfor util: ity. This is where the practical bus, nese end of breeding comes in. In horse breeding, for instance, farmers in some sections have been chasing shadows to some extent by breeding trotting stock. This has resulted in lightweight, spindle legged stock of but little use for farm purposes. They have now realized their mistake and are looking for horses of 1,200. to 1,400 pounds weight, with good bone, muscle and: strength. • The third consideration is beauty, which has a cash value. The extra care given attractive stock owing to the pride the owner takes in them will Sensible Sheep Hints. The use of a dip that kills the ticks, out not their eggs, simply means post- poning' the evil. Only the best dips pay for themselves.. The poorly tilled farm with a behind he times owner stands more in the way of successful sheep breedingthan ill of the dogs in the country. The appetite of the sheep is some- :hing that requires watching.. Feed :hem only such a quantity as they will tat up at one time. To feed more is io advantage to them and is a loss to the feeder. No man should go into sheep raising or feeding until he has a woven wire fence around nis feed lots and pas- tures. The old time barbed wire with wool hanging to it: is a relic of the past on an up to date sheep farm. Fat Cows Expensive. No one can ati'ord,to keep a fat dairy cow. If a cow gets fat while in milk she uses too much of her feed -for other purposes than making ng. milk of it. A cow that has a good appetite eats heartily and keeps thin in flesh while giving milk is usually a good one to keep. Bad Blood Means Bad Health. A WELL GEARED DAIRY OOW. [By courtesy of Iowa State college.] usually yield a cash profit. Prospective buyers will be attracted by the ani- mals showingthe most style. If one will study carefully the :char- acteristics of the stock he has he can so mate ' them as to produce about what he likes, provided he has the constitution and uses a pure bred sire. In this way one can safely introduce quality and beauty. For instance, the Guernsey cow comes from a cross of Normandy and Brittany stock. The former were a large boned and mus- cled stock possessing great constitu- .tional vigor, while the latter were bred -more-:Tor--quality-,-and-beauty, The -- cross produced a very desirable cow. ' It goes without saying that ifo the rules above mentioned are adhered to strictly in dairy cattle breeding far better results will be secured than is generally the case in this line of work. The mistake .is too frequently made in using any kind of sire -anything that will cause • the cows to freshen. The best sire is none too good and is tar cheaper in the long run. Taking all the cows In the: country together, the average yield is about 123 pounds, of butter. for each cow. This includes all kinds of cows kept under all. sorts .of conditions. It is probable that the average yield for each cow in the regular dairies of the country is not far from 130 pounds of butter in a year. . • It is agreed that the cow that pro- duces -200 ro- duces.200 poudds"ot butter in a year just about pays for her feed and the expense incident to housing and other- wise caring for her and getting the butter to market, If a cow yields 250 pounds of butter in a year she has the value of 50. pounds to her credit. 1f she yields 300 pounds a year .the profit from her is doubled and she is worth twice as much as the 250 pound cow. Increase. the yield to 350 pounds and she in- creases still more in value and • is worth three times as much as the 250 pound cow. It is strange that so few of such cows are to be found when they, cost no more to raise than others. BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS • Makes Good Blood and Mood Blood Moans Good Hoalth.
