But the Farmers' Alliance has changed all that. It stands ready to take the product of the farmer's toil, store it for him, and advance money for immediate necessities. By the aid of the Alliance the producers can fix a price which will at least prove fairly remunerative. The nuts are kept out of the hands of speculative middlemen and sold directly to dealers at the princi pal distributing points.

Every shell must be opened and the seed extracted. This is termed "popping," and popping bees, to which the neighbors are invii-d, are fre quent. There fun and irolic are rife, as in the corn huskmgs and appie parings of the more northern States. The crack ing of the nuts and of harmless jokes echo from the walls of manv a humble cabin. The seed peanuts are all care fully hand picked, and all light colored, shrunken, or defecl:ve ones rejected, only the plump, perfect peas, with un broken skins, being kept for seed The rejected ones are sold for roasting. The planting was formerly done by hand in a very tedious and laborious man ner. But it is now done by means of a machine, with which one man can plant six to eight acres per day in a very superior manner. Though the shelled peanut is nearly the same in size and form as the bean, the same implement can not be used in planting both. The slightest cracking of the thin pink skin would spoil the peanut for. purposes of seed. The peanu: planter is very iu geniously constructed to pick up the peas, deposit them at regular intervals in the row. and press the soil down upon them without abrading the tender film in which they are enveloped. Five pecks or twenty pounds of shelled seed are required for an acre. The peanut planting time is from the middle of May to the middle of Jane. The most criti cal time for the crop comes immediately after olantintr. If the weather is too wet, the seed rots in the ground; if too drv. it withers and perishes. Then the newly planted seed is subject to the dep redations of nearly every kind of bird and small animal which inhabits the region. Moles often make great havoc, In nearlv all cases more or less of re planting is necessary. A field of peanuts just sprouting out of the ground is a very pretty sight. The growth is upright until the plant has attained a height of 8 or 10 inches, then the pea shaped yellow blossoms appear, and the plant falls over and makes its subsequent growth in a pro cumbent position. A singular process now ensues. As the petals of the now ?' - ?.JI'I r!Aif?

PEAKCT STACKS. ers fade and fall, the legumes or pods are forced into the soil, thereto complete their growth, and ripen the inclosed seeds, as shown in Fig. 1. The culture consistj in going frequently between the rows with a small plow of peculiar shape. If grass or weeds ap pear in the rows (all weed f vowth called grass in ' the South) they ?.re cut out with hoe3. But after the plants have fallen ove"r they cover the earth so thickly as to smother out the weeds. A single tap root, which penetrates the earth deeply, like that of the allied red clover, is the main root growth of the neanut nlant. of which the scientific name is Arachis hypogcea. It is the of aim of the peanut growei to have the crop mature about the time of the first frost of autumn. The pod.- must be lifted from their earthy beds to keep them free from stains. A plow is run under each row, fitting oil the main roots and throwing out the pods which adhere to the branches. After they have lain on the ground until par tially dried, the whole are stacked in tho field. Stout stakes are cut in the forest the large end sharpened, short strips nailed across them near the sharpened end, and they are then driven into tho ground in rows at convenient intervals through the field. The gathered plants are stacked around these stakes, the cross strips being designed to keep them from contact with the ground. Each stack is seven to eight feet high and three five feet in diameter. Figure 2 shows a group of them. The stacks are sometimes hauled the barn for the mirpose of picking the nods; but it is generally done in the field durinar the autumn and winter. The pickers build small fires, around which they gather, picking off the nut3 and sorting the well filled ones from tii "pom," as the partially empty pods are called. Efforts have been made to devise machinery for picking the nuts from the vino, but without success as yet The vines, after being stripped of the nuta make a forage nearly equal to clover hay, save for the adhering sand and dirt and stock of all kinds eat it greedily. After the haulm and nuts are all cleared away a second crop remains be low the surface. This is harvested by swine, which are tur ed in for the pur pose. They turn tin soil upside down in search of the toothsome nuts, and how ever lean the pig may be when it goes in, it soon becomes fat. The pork of these hogs, though it has a sweet nutty flavor, is rather soft unless they are finished off with corn before slaughter. The market for peanuts was formerly OXCHAKI) AND GARDEN. to Rats will keep out of the way of pine tar. Pour it into their holes, and daub the posts of the granaries with it. In preparing stubble ground for wheat a great deal of labor is saved and a better seed bed secured by pulverizing the soil with a good cultivator instead of plowing. During any ten years the man that ells his wheat and oats soon after they are thrashed will realize more from them than if he stores for a better price. A New York cheese manufacturer has had the following pointed advice printed at the head of the dividend sheets he is sues to his patrons: "Take good care of your night's milk; it will pay you." Fixed or permanent mangers as a gen eral rule save time and labor in feeding stock. All animals should have low mangers, otherwise the muscles of the neck become still or contracted by the non use of natural exercise. It is of great importance to sow barley and oats early in the spring. A few days difference in the time of sowing often makes all the difference between a good crop and a poor one and what a differ ence that is all experienced farmers know. Those who have tried feeding grain and hay to horses claim that if a full feed ot nay loiiows tne gram tue grain will be crowded o it of the stomach be fore digestion is accomplished, and a waste of nutrition elites hence the hay should be given first. The use of carrot juice for butter col oring is wiioiiv una , . isaoie. ine aiou- meu in the juice quic ly decomposes and spoils the butter, it coloring is used m spite of all objections, let it be the clear annotto, dissolved in warm water, of which a feu- drops only are required for each gallon of cream. Every farmer knows that bright clean corn fodder will be eatenip entirely by the cows. Do not let it become black and moldy. It may be very convenient to leave it in the field, but before the winter is half gone much of it will bo soaked with rain, blown over, or trampled, Corn fodder is an excellent food if in good bright condition If our farms are "running out" such should not be the case. In E gland, where the soil has been cultivated for centuries, the land is richer to-day than ever before. This is due to the farms being small and well manured. Every square foot of land in England is made to yield something, if used for farming, and the aim is always to add more plant food than the crop removes. "With a small flock of choice sheep the farmer is not obliged to go around among his neighbors to solicit them to buy a quarter of beef from him, and at a low price, because be can not consume it, but can retain and use the meat of sheep instead. Mutton is just as nutri tious as beef, and if the choice mutton breeds of sheep are used a far better arti cle of meat can be secured. Some one makes the sensible sugges tion that such horses on the farm as are to bo worked together nearly every day during the season should be matched in gait and strength. These items are of much more importance than size, color, and other things that are often looked after instead. If unevenly matched give the weakest animal the benefit of a little advantage with the double tree. Mrs. L. Harrison, in the P-airic Farm er, gives the following good advice about not disturbing the nests of the bumble bees: Farmers, do not burn up all the nests of the bumble bees, for they are worth 20 to you in fertilizing red clover blossoms, thereby insuring a heavy crop of seeds. In Australia there were no bumble bees of our kind, and they could not raise clover seed there until they imported some. If farmers would have rye and clover for the pigs in early spring and summer, and have orchards or nut tree ranges where they could run when the fruit ia falling, and sow field peas, or plant peanuts where the animals could glean in autumn, they would be enabled to raise pork at very small cost, and, with corn or meal to finish them off, would get meat that would be firm of flesh, mar bled, and fit for the best of bacon. "Whole milk American cheese can com pete successfully in our markets with foreign cheese if it is given a little extra time and handling. Cheese, like fruit, must be ripened. Green cheese is fully us indigestible as green fruit, and about a? tasteless. Whoever will test cheese at intervals of two to eighteen months will find gratifying and satisfactory changes in quality, flavor, and digesti bility. Cheese can be cut from for a whole year if the cut surface is kept carefully covered with waxed paper. A Farm That Kan Away. About the last thing in the world that one would expect to lose by its running away would be a farm. Yet in Holland there ha3 certainly been one case (and there may have been many more) where a farm literally ran away from its owner and was tugged home by canal boats! As every one knows, the whole land of Hol land lies lower than the ocean, and ia only protected by the immense dikes which are a wonder of the world; also by great pumps, moved by steam or by wind, which pump up the water which steals in under the dikes and return it to the sea through the many canals. In the case referred to, where a canal had been dug, the water slipped in silently behind its protecting dike, or worked away under the surface of a large farm, and undermined it, while the farmer was thinking of no danger, until one day a great storm arose, and behold, the water had separated this farm from the rest of the land, and the poor farmer had the grief to see his own beautiful farm hur rying away as fast as it could go to join itself to another man's larm on tue up Fertilizing well pays the cost in in crease ot irtut. ltnout it many or chards are worth more for firewood than for fruit. A Missouri gardener secures early po- tatoes by planting the tubers in boxes, keening the boxes near a stove, and when the sprouts are three inches in height th?y are removed and set out. The best treatment for young trees is to keep them culti . ated until seven or eiLim vears at least, men tne land may le seeded to grass, if desired, and pas tured witlrsheep. Or th-3 surface" may be mulched with hay or straw, and fer tilizers applied by top dressing. Russian apples have not fulfilled the expectations of those who claimed they were better adapted to our northern sec tions than American varieties. The trees produced from American varieties have demonstrated that they were hardier and more productive than the Russian trees. The New Jersey State Agricultural Society, two years ago, balloting for the best three grapes for general use, one of each color, decided i:i favor of the Brighton, red; "WorJeu, black, and Ni agara, white; and few grape growers in that State would to-day make any alter ation in the list What shall we say of the people who let their boys and girls go .away from home for a buttonhole bouquet, or for flowers for any use during summer and autumn, when a profusion of showy flowers might le had right at their own door, with little effort, by simply culti vating a few nice annuals? A mulched surface is very favorable to the attainment ot t .e best results in ap ple production. If trees are too close together in the orcl ard, so that they are crowded, the dillic in part by mule freely, supplying a'-undant plant food to secure good crops of fruit. A writer from Union county, 111., no tices that the Bartlett pear is losing proimJ, and among nurserymen's lists from lir?t has suuk to third or fourth place, and says: "Tlu' Wilson strawboi ry ha headed the list for decades. Who plants it now? Excepting iu a few lo calities especially adapted to it we hardly find it at all. Is the Bartlett in like manner parsing into retirement? If porK i made for three cents per pound, there is a good deal of money in it. That it can bo produced for this price is unquestionable, if the right methods are followed. There are a few indispensable requisites for it, but these are simple: clover for summer pasture; sweet corn for fall feeding; si la go of clover or sweet corn for winter feodii'.': waste milk: a good breed of sw ine, and six to niue months' old pigs. Just now a farmer must use his wits to keep his chin above water.

James, veterinary surgeon, in an interview with the Globe Democrat, says: '"Tw o things the owner of a good horse should remember when the animal is sun struck. He should never try to force remedies down the throat of tho beast before it is conscious. Many ani mals are killed in this way when their lives should be saved. The medicine, instead of going down the throat, passes the wrong way into the air passages and nn acute and fatal case of bronchitis fol lows. Ovt-rhcated horses, too, are often killed bv neglecting o keep them show ered with cold water long enough. Gen erally, when a sun struck horse is taken in charge, the attendants confine their doctoring to washing bis head and body for a few minutes, or at most an hour, with ice water. This is not enough. Tho ice water treatment should be kept up for several hours until the temperaturo of the horse's body is greatly reduced, to the normal, or at least Lelow the heat fever point. If a man is careful with his horse, the animal will not be sun struck. Warning of the approach of danger is given long before the stroke comes, and sometimes a day before. The most unmistakable signs are the cessa tion of perspiration and the dog like panting of the horse. During the hot weather the head of the horse should bo kept covered with a parasol, or by a sponge kept constantly wet, and ho should be watered and doused frequently with cold water. If this sort of atten tion is paid him he will work hard dur ing the hot weather and the heat will not hurt him. Sanitary Safeguard. ' A farm home ought to bo the health iest of all, but too often it is exactly tho reverse. One of the puzzles is how to dispose of slops. On no account should a cesspool be tolerated; an underground drain, unless a stream of water flow through it, is often almost or quite as bad. Kitchen and other slops can be healthfully and economically disposed of by use of a barrel on trucks; it can be emptied with a pail, but the trucks are a great help. ' A barrel can be set in any convenient place and emptied when end where it is needed; if scalded thor oughly, when any bad odor is detected, it can be kept sweet and clean. But a3 you value health do not throw slops in one place near the house. Dispose ol them in some way so no bad odor will arise to poison the air, and so they will enrich the laud. Beware of bad odors, too matter- from what source. Use dry earth, road dust, sifted coal ashes, char coal dust, fine dry sawdust, air slacked lime, or some similar substance, if pos sible. Copperas is one of the best disin fectants and germ destroyei'3. Dissolve a handful in hot water; it will make a pailful of solution, and can be sprinkled in any place where foul odors arise. If you ask the druggist for a pound of cop peras he will charge 10 cents for it; ii several families club together and buy a quantity, it can be got at about four cents per pound or less.

The value of pepper in cooking eeema to have been known long ago. Its uso as a medicine was common in the days of Hippocrates, who applied it, mois tened with alcohol, to the ekin of his pa tients. Just as sugar and tea have been In past times so dear as only to bo with in the reach of the wealthy, so pepper was in the middle ages a very costly condiment So much was It valued that a small packet was at that time deemed suitable present to offer a great person.

Will mE Otjtpct of that Country ee Increased. The world's consumption of cot ton is increasing wonderfully, says the Tradesman, and the Southern States must continue to produce the bulk of the supply. The efforts of Russia to find new cotton fields ii Central Asia do not promise imme diate results and the culture of cot ton in India seems to be about as careless as it was ten vears aco. The Egyptain cotton crop is always interesting to us because Ecvot comes nearer beine a competitor with us in the world's markets for raw cottan than any other country. The Egyptian crop of last season was, with ODe exception, the largest crop gathered. It amounted to 3, 2S0,78(; csntars of 125 pounds each. The only crop that has exceeded this was that of the season cf 1SS4-'S5 which was 3,574,717 can- tars. A series of bad seasons had reduced the Egyptian cotton yield much below an average and the crop of last pear was a gracious relief. Improved sys terns of irrigation are largely responsible for tho oxcellent crop of last season and they wi 1 produce similar results this season Id 1878-79 the cotton crop of Egypt was only 1,G77,719 cantars, as against 3,2S0,7SG caritars last season. The enormous difference thus rep resented has been brought about by sy tematic distribution and econo -iiiic use of the water supply in the cotton region. Will the improved methods of cotton culture in Egypt increase the crop of th..t country with the next t eeade as they have in tu.e decade just passed? Mr. An dres, of New York, who has given the situation thorough stutlv, is of the opinion that the production of cotton in Egypt has vtll nigh reached its natural limitations. He says : It seems doubtfui, howeve", that the cottou crops can increase much ; the cultivated area of the DeUa is estimated at about 3,000,000 fed- dans, (acres,) and of these 1,000.000 feddaus are devoted to cotton. Un der iLe most favorable circumstan ces, future crops cannot exceed 500,- uuu cantars more that; any previous crop. The immense area, amounting to nearly half of the Delta, cultiva ted ia Phaiaonic and Roman days, out neglected lor the past lo ceu- tuiies, remains unaffected by the barrage, for the simple reason that e summer supply of water for three months cf low Nile barely suffices for existing areas. lhebulkof the Egvplian cottoe crop goes, oi course, to Europe, thaugh some of it is imported into the Uaited States to be used in spinning eerUiu grades of thread and fine hosiery. It is estimated that our mills will this year use. 9,000 bales of Egyptian cotton, 750 pouuds to the bale. This is twice as much as we took hve years ago. Last year the Europeun mills consumed 448,240 bales of Egypt's cotton crop, 750 pounds to the bale. The prospect that the cotton yield of Egypt has already nearly reached its maxium and the rapidly increasing demand of the world for cotton goods make the outlook for the staple cr'.p of the South very cheer ing.

Extracts from the Address Deliv - ERED BY EX PfiESIDEXT G ROVER Cleveland at the Tiiuiimvn Birth day Banquet in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday Evening, Noyev-jef. 13, 1S90, in Respoese to the Toast, "American citizenship." I have spoken of frugality and economy as important factors in American life. I find no fault with the accumulation of wealth, and am glad to see energy and enterprise receive their fair reward. But I be lieve that our government in its nat ural integrity, is exactly suited to a frugal and economical people ; and I believe it is saiest in the hands of those who have been made strong and self-reliant in their citizenship, by self denial and by the surround ings of an enforced economy. Thrift and careful watchfulness of expendi ture among the people tend to, se cure a thrifty government ; and cheap and careful living on the part of individuals ought to enforce economy in the public expenditures. When, therefore, men in high pla ces of trust, charged with the re- ponsibility of making and executing our 1&W3, not only condemn but flip pantly deride cheapness and econo my within the homes of our people, and when the expenditures of the government are reckless and wasLe ul, we may be sure that something is wrong with us, and that a condi tion exists which calls for a vigorous and resentful defense of American ism, by every man worthy to be call ed an American citizen. Upon the question of cheapness and economy, whether it relates to individuals or to the operations of the government, the Democratic par- ty.true to its creed and its traditions, will unalterably remain attached to our plain and frugal people. They are especially entitled to the watch - ul care and protection of their gov ernment ; and when they are borne down with burdens greater than they can bear, and are made the ob jects of scorn by hard taskmasters, we will nat leave their side. As the great German Reformer, insisting! upon his religious convictions, in the presence of his accusers exclaimed, "I can do nought else. Hero I stand. God help me,'' so, however much others may mock and derid6 cheap ness and the poor and frugal men and women of our land, we will stand forth in defence of their sim ple k mericanism defiantly proclaim ing, "We can do nought else. Here we stand." Thus when the question is raised whether our people shall have the necessaries of life at a cheaper rate, we are not ashamed to confess our selves "in full sympathy with the de mand for cheaper coats and we are not disturbed oy tne hint teat this seems ''necessarily to involve a cheaper man or woman under the coats." When the promoter of a party measure which invades every home in the land with higher prices, de clares that "cheap and nasty go to gether and this whole system of cheap men mean a cheap country," we indignantly repudiate such on interpretation of American sentiment. And .vhen another one, high in party councils, who has become no torious as the advocate of a contri vance to perpetuate partisan suprem acy by outrageous interference with the suffrage, announces that "the cry for cheapness ia un-Ameri can , we scorniuiiy reply mat nis speech does not indicate the slight est conception of true Americanism.

It is hard to speak patiently as we answer these questions. Step by step a vast number of our people had been led on, following blindly in the path of party. They had beeD filled with hate and sectional predu dice : they had boon cajoled with misrepresentations and false prom ises ; they had been corrupted with money and by appeals to their sel fishness. All these things led up to their final betrayal to satisfy the demands of those who had supplied the fund for their corruption. This betrayal was - palpable ; and it was impossible to deny or conceal the fact that pretended re lief tendered to the people in fulfil ment of a promise to lighten the burdens of their life, made by the party entrusted with the govern ment, was but a scheme to pay the debts incurred by the purchase of party success, while it further in creased the impoverishment of the masses.
