A Fruit Pine Tree.
It is not generally known that there is a
variety at Jthe pine family that" bears edible
nuts of AKcellent flavor, yet such is tue lack
The .tree w shown in ocr JlustiatiGn. ; -
BTOUE PINS.
The nuts are inside the scales of the
cone. In the third year after the tree
flowers the cones ' come- to maturity. It is
pee of the handsomest ornamental trees ever
irown, besides the valua cf the nuts. ' Those,
like almonds. ara-usod for dessert and in
cooking. The trunk of this beautiful conif or
rises straight from 50 to 70 foot, without a
branch; then it throws. off luxuriant foliages
m a parasol-top shape. ' The ood is valuable
m ttaiber. .Tui "would be a great addition to
stir southern . pines, both for its use and
beauty. It will not, however, grow in the
aortherh states. . The cold kills.it. , - "

Have you ever tried cultivating peanuts?
If not, plant some this year. They will make
in excellent dessert for the farmers table in
winter, roasted fresh, as they must be. ' ilora
over, they will grow wherever corn can be
raised. They are one of the chief field crops
in Virginia. The peanut' is not raised only
to be eaten, as country youths at circuses are
ipt to imagine.. Millions of dollars' worth
ire sold every year for Iheoil. The nuts con
tain all the way up to 40 per cent, of this. It
Is used as a table oil instead of that of tbe
jlive, and is quite as good. The oil is largely
n sod also in soap making. It makes a goo 1
illuminating and lubricating oil as well. Per
haps in time peanuts, too, will become ono o'
the important export crops of the Unite 1
States. . There are no factories that we kno.
yt at present for pressing out the oil, bat ihjn
is no reason why there should not be. .
FEAITTT CXTLTXTEK.
Plant as soon as tha ground is thorough!?
warm and dry, and free from frost. Jus:
after corn planting is a good rule. A limey
nil is the proper one. If not sufficiently so
by nature it must 'be made so by lime fertil
isers. A light clayey soil in the limestone
regions is good. The earth must be made
very fine, and free from clods. This is to
leave room for the nut pods to penetrate the
rroand. . Throw up small ridges -about as
Car&paft as corn rows. Flatten theridgo
nightly and drop the seed 12 inches apart. A
'dotter," a it is called in the south, is used
to mark the places for the hills. .We shall
rive an illustration of this "dotter" soon,
rhe holes for the seed are made only from
me to two inches deep. One seed is dropped
neach hole and covered only to tbe depth of
die hole, making the ground even no deeper
ihan that. In about two weeks the young
rrowths will be visible sufficiently to show
irhere replanting is noca?sary. Put two or
ihree kernels in tbe ho e at replanting.
There are two kinds of peanuts, the rod
ind white. The white grows upon an erect
item, and admits of teiag cultivated with
be plow. . The red peanut brings the higl er
vies in market. It yields from SO to 1M
Misbels to the acre. The peanuts must be
arafully hul'ed by hand lieiore being plants L
Cultivation lasts two or three months. The
d peanut, after it La; blossomed, throws
tut a pod which 1 ervls over towards the
round and finally iUi- es itself. The earth
s thrown up abou-J tuis variety; the white is
riven level cultivation. The soil about the
llants is kept lcose and i'ree from weeds.-
They are ripe in the !at:cr part of summer,
iun a furrow elon cacli eido of the whit?
dnd, to loosen tho roots, before b'fting thj-H
uants. The red i)'--. v b.t simply pulled u;
ke bunch beans. The j len s are laid iu.tW
un for a day, till thvy wilt. Then thoy are
tacked. A writer in Viia Indiana Farmer
dves this method of stacking: A pole about
light feet long is driven firmly into the
rround, and around it is built a foundation
d logs, upon which the vines are stocked,
wots inward, leaving a small opening around
lie pole for the circulation of the air froiu
iie bottom- to the top. .The stack is car i -jj
with hay or fodder, and if the roof thus iiut.li;
a waterproof the peanut may be left in tLo
itack during the winter. The red pcinu..
ire harvested in the sams way. "Usually the
rines are allowed to remain in the stat
ibout four weeks, when the nuts are picked
iff by hand. From three to six bushels per
lay is good picking. The work is generally
lone by the women and children. A woman
irill pick more than a man, and a child more
ihan a woman. After picking the nuts are
icreened in a cylinder and sunned for a few
tours, and then sacked for market.
The root of the plant Is used for purposes
f adulteration. It is ground and miscd
irith cocoa in the prepej-ation 'of chocolate,
Ind frequently it is used to the complete ex
clusion of cocoa in the manufacture of the
n-called chocolate condiments. The vine, if
Harvested before being injured; by frost,
makes good feed for cattle, sheep and bors.
lome southern planters considering it better
ihan clover. It produces a copious flow of
nilx. It is also a good fertilizer. The pea
autcrop is capable, of being a. completely
itilised as any crop grown.

The Collseam To Be Outdone.'
(Eugene Field in Chicago News.
Much commotion . was occasioned in
local naval circles recently by a rumor
that the Kussian corvet 1 cnsKsnsRy.
which has -been at anchor iu our harbor
for a month, had received scaled orders to
set sail at nce for Kenosha. The British
man-of-war Albert Edward, which bos
been watching the corvet ever since the
Afghan complications arose, wa.3 tbe first
to near of the rumor, fc.ua lmmeaiateiy
made urcDarations to follow tho Butsian
vessel whither she sailed. Thousands of
our best citizens wcut out on tb govern
ment pier to witness the thrcatrned en
gagement, but the KussLm corvet gave no
indications of leaviug the harbor, and
after three hours of ereat suspense it was
officially- announced by Fetrovitch Smo
koff, the resident consul, that tho previous
rumor was utterly groundless.
There has arisen In the midst of us such
a universal desire to witness a naval bat-
tlo that two enterprising theatrical man
agers have enrercQ into negotn. Jons witn
the commanders of the Kussian corvet
and British man-of war, respectively, for
a grand naval encounter between the two
vessels. It is proposed to erect in our
harbor a, temporary pine structure large
enough to surround the snaps and give
them plenty of space for maneuvering.
On the four sides of tbe structure will be
private boxes, stalls, and galleries, with a
seating capacity lor y 0,00 J people, and by
making this ample provision the price of
a seat win oe merely nominal.
The complaint heretofore has always
been that the cost of naval engagements
was too great to admit of this species of
amusement ever becoininsr popular.. .We
hope to be able to felicitate Chicago upon
being the first to inaugurate a reform in
this direction, and ve certainly approve
. 1 ce . ii i . t
mo euori wuicu is now uemg maae to
place the luxury of witnessing a first
class naval battle within the means of
even the poorer ctosses.
The Ameer of Afghanistan.
Brooklyn Eg'e.l
We are told by a French traveler that
jtt dinner the ameer drinks an inordinate
quantity of tea. lie takes neither sugar
nor milk with it, but a little lima . He is
not given much to physical exertion.
and, indeed, he leads a somewhat seden
tary life, devoting many hours each day
listening to the stories of his many spies.
He is very fond of - describing his own
adventures, and at other times he will
prefer to play chess, or, as he considers
himself a good musician, will perform
some of the national ba'lads on the ratab
or Afghan guitar. A light repast of
sweets, fruit and tea is then served and at
10 o'clock the guests leave. - Wine and
spirits he never touches, but he smokes u
good deal and even in public.
In one way or another he has removed
all the men of note who were supposed
under the old regime to possess a hardly
less'potent voice thai the ameer in decid
ing important matters in Afghan policy.
His object has been to get rid of every
man of wealth, iniiuence or position
within his territories, in the belief that
they both detract from his dignity and
serve as the means of intrigue against his
power. In short he is a believer in the
Oriental fashion f decapitating all the
tallest of the pop;e '
