Tbe Fsria Crop Wblefc tthoald
largely Kip.nded on Account of
lta Ureal food Value.
Southern Field.
The commercial crop of peanuts pro
duced in this country is wholly of
Southern growth, originating largely in
territory immediately tributary to the
Southern Bailway lines, in Virginia,
Tennessee, North and South Carolina.
That this is true is indicated in the fact
that these States have recently taken
renewed interest in the crop through a
genuine demand and a more satisfac
tory range of prices than prevailed a
few years ago. ,
The small area devoted to the peanut
is out of all proportion to its value eco
nomically. As with other olesgenous
nuts and seeds as in the case of cot
ton-seed a few years ago its uses have
been more shrewdly availed of by the
European manufacturer than by the
manufacturer of the United StateB. At
Marseilles, France, for instance, one of
the heaviest importations is the peanut,
which is manufactured into oil, great
quantities of which is accepted without
question by thousands of consumers as
olive oil. The United States Consul at
Marseilles recently said that "The peo
ple of all others best able to give an ex
pert opinon as to the merits of peanut
oil for table purposes, and who annu
ally consume considerable quantities
under the name of, and perhaps, too,
faintly diluted with, olive oil, reside in
the United States." In Germany cold-
pressed oil of African or American
peanuts is used as salad oil and for
various culminary purposes, the price
of which, wholesale, ranges from 56
cents to one dollar per gallon, which is
far cheaper than any edible quality of
olive oil that can be imported and sold
in that country. The yield of oil from
the first pressing is ordinary oil cakes.
A daily allowance of four to six pounds
of the cake, given in the form of paste
and mixed with two or three pounds of
bran, - constitutes a perfect food for
milch cows. I have had cows so fed
for several years yielding well and
breeding regularly. For sheep there is
no better food than peanut cake, but
for these animals I found it best to
give the cake dry and broken into
small pieces. I had a large flock fed
ou the cake for several years, and never
knew any bad results, attending its use.
The ewes so fed bred regularly, milked
well, and reared excellent lambs, while
the mutton of these cake fed sheep was
of superior quality."
Many experiments have proved the
value of the cake as a feed for pigs.
For these animals it is usually made
a thin gruel and given mixed with
bran. This same preparation, but not
quite so thin a condition, constitutes a
superior food for fattening poultry. The
flesh of poultry fattened on the cake is
while, fine and of superior quality.
The remarkable feeding value of the
plant itself, in the form of hay, has
been shown in the table of analyses
employed in the division of this article
devoted to live stock production.
More remarkable still are the author
itative claims asserted in behalf of the
peanut as human food. The United
States Department of Agriculture, in
tbe course of its investigation of the
peanut, in 1896, reproduced a compara
tive table of twelve principal foods,
prepared by Prof. Kooig, of Germany,
bated on prices in that country, show
ing tbe peanut meal to be the most
nutritive, as well as the cheapest food
procurable. -
No Hnntlns In Palestine.
The late Bishop Beckwitb, of Georgia,
was fond of his gun, and spent much of
bis lime hunting, says a representative
from that State. One day the Bishop
was out with dog and gun, and met a
member of his parish, whom be re
proved for inattention to his religious
duties. -'You should attend church,
and read your Bible," said the Bishop.
"I ("o read my Bible, Bishop," was
the answer, "and I don't find any
mention of the apostles going a-shoot-
ing.
"No," repled the Bishop, "the shoot
ing was bad in Palestine, to thjy went
fishing itead."

FEWER' ACRES IN COTTON AND
HOII MOO AND HO.Tl 1-4 Y.
News and Observer.
The unanimous sentiment of the
great gathering of cotton growers in
Baleigb this week was to hold their
cotton for better prices, reduce the
acreage, and raise more hog and hom
iny. To carry into effect this desirable
reeult a permanent organization has
been effected with Col. John S. Cun
ingham, of Person, as president. Col.
Cuningham will take active steps to
effect a thorough organisation, and the
slogan will be "Sell no cotton at pres
ent prices, reduce the aeresge, and
raise home supplies." In the impor
tant work mapped out by the resolu
tions adopted the associations deserves
and should receive the co-operation of
every cotton farmer and other Southern
business man. Col. Cuningham will
press the work with zeal and enthusi
asm, and leave no stone unturned to
carry out the mandates of the conven
tion that elected him.
Delegates embracing a number of
the wisest and most successful farm
ers in the State have been appointed
to attend the Southern convention to
be held at New Orleans the latter part
of this month. The meeting will be of
the highest importance. It will con
sider the vaiious plans recommended
by the several states and adopt the
plan deemed wisest. With Texas and
North Carolina the extreme Northern
and extreme Southern States that grow
cotton and the intervening cotton
states working in harmony the cotton
farmers can win their fight. There is
no power that can stand against the
united action of the cotton growers of
the South in their battle for fair prices
for their product.
The large crop of cotton of 1808-9
(11,274,840 bales) brought 1282,773,
974. Tbe smallest crop since, that of
1903-4, (10,011,374 bales) brought
$513,797,839. That is to say that tbe
farmers got 1331,023,365 in 1903 4
for 1,263,406 less bales of cotton than
they got in 1898 9 for thas many more
bales of cotton. Experience has proved
beyond question that cotton farmers
get more money gross for a small crop
than for a large one. Does not this
prove that the acreage should be re:
duced f
Many bears have sold contracts and
during the next three months they
must get cotton or they will lose large
sums of money. This accounts for
their frantic effort to press down the
price of cotton. Only this week one
such firm paid seven cents for a certain
lot of cotton iu Tarboro to fulfill a con
tract. If farmers will refuse to sell at
seven or eight, the price will go higher
in Ibe spring if the cotton acreage has
been greatly decreased.
Fall River strike Ended.
New York World.
The settlement of the Fall River strike
is one of the first proofs of the value to
Massachusetts of a business Governor.
Nothing but the confidence which
laboring men in the Bay State feel in
Gov. Douglas's integrity, experience
and fairness could have reconciled
them to going back to work at reduced
wares, leaving 'to his adjustment a
complicated schedule of wage increases
as manufacturers' profits grow.
The strike has cost 5,000,000. The
conditions for it were peculiarly un
favorable. The high price of cotton
last vear Dlaced all manufacturers at a
disadvantage, and the damaging com
petition of Southern mills, near the
field of supply, newly and well equipped
and worked largely by child labor em
ployed for long hours, has shown how
far-reaching are the results in these
days of tuch disastrous rivalry.
It wm be well for the men. women
and children of Massachusetts as well
aa for those ofthe Carolina when child
labor ana excessive working hours aie
made impossible.

GOOD FOR MBS. S.TtlTH.
Monroe Journal. 9
We bid Mrs. Smith, of Pelham, N.
C , Lail and good day I Hear the
Greensboro Becord tell about her:
"Some unknown woman, so veiled
that the features could not be fully
distinguished, called on Mrs. C. P.
Smith of that place the other evening,
and informed her that her husband had
made an appointment with a young
woman for that evening. 'If you will
be at the Bed church in Pelham Manor
at 10 o'clock tonight you will see for
yourself,' she said. The woman came
again at 6 o'clock the next evening.
'Mrs. Smith,' she began, 'you did not
keep your appointment. I am sorry,
for I am putting to great inconvenience
to give you this friendly advice. Your
husband has a appointment to-night.'
Mrs. Smith was to enraged that she
called fcr her daughter, Celia, to bring
her a horsewhip. The stranger re
marked that she was not afraid, as the
had a man with her, Mrs. Smith taw
a man standing at the gate, but this
did not alarm her. With her whip the
lashed the woman across the face until
she begged for clemency. The woman
fled to the front veranda, where she
grappled with Mrs. Smith and threw
her. In falling Mrs. Smith grabbed
the woman by the hair and pulled out
a handful of it. While Mrs. Smith was
down, the other woman dashed down
the steps and ran. Mrs. Smith, ac
companied by her daughter, pursued
the fleeing stranger for a mile, through
vacant lots and across ditches, but the
escaped."
This it a new treatment for the gossip
mongers, whose delight is to besmirch
character or to wreck happiness when
ever they can. We love Mrs. Smith.
Her action is too good to go unrecorded.

The mysteries of Knowledge,
A Bostonian the other day was prais
ing the astronomical woik of Percival
Lowell.
"B- fore the last total eclipse of the
sun," he said, smiling, "Mr. Lowell
observed to an old colored man whom
he liked, 'George, if you'll watch the
chickens out at your place to-morrow
morning about eleven o'clock you'll see
them go to roost.'
" 'Hi, hi!' George laughed, 'Hi, hi!
Dar't a good Joke.'
"He thought, you tee, that Mr.
Lowell was fooling him. But when at
about eleven o'clock the next morning
the sun darkened and the chickens did
go to roost, Uoerge was amazed and
somewhat horrified. He sought Mr.
Lowell out, and said, 'What you done
tole me wui true, tah. Mah chickens
went to roost, sab, jest laik you said
dey wold.'
" 'Yes, George, I suppose they did.
Ihe astronomer returned.
" 'How long, sab, didyouknow 'bout
die?' said George.
" Oh, a long time."
" 'Did you know dey would go to
roost a year ago f '
" 'Yes; fully a year ago.'
" 'Well, dat beats all,' said George,
in an awed voice. 'Dem chickens
wuzn't hatched a year ago.'"

A certain naval officer was very pom

day, when he was officer of the watcn,
and he cM not, as usual, find any
thinir of consequoace to grumble about,
he attempted to take it out of one of
the machinists who was irr the engine

A NEW WALK COHHNO.
Washington Times.
A new walk is coming in with the
new year. It is already here, but it
will talfe until the dawn of 1905 to be
come perfect in it. It it different from
any other, walk that was ever teen,
though in certain wayi it resembles the
Grecian bend, which was the ambition
of our mothert and' grandmothers in
1870.
The new walk requires these thing:
Wide shoulders and a little waist.
High heeled shoes with wide soles.
Big hips and flat back.
A certain carriage which it known as
the military carriage.
The girl who it getting the 1905 walk
would do well to visit some near-by
military station and study the soldiers.
If the can get a West Point cadet to
teach her to much the better. The new
walk will be the military walk with cer
tain improvements and changes.
To get ready to walk stand erect and
throw back the shoulders. Now ex
pand the chest. Next square the
elbows, holding them down to your
sides, not out. Now draw in the abdo
men, lift the feet high, and walk.
The first time you try this you will
feel like a trussed chicken. The second
time it will not be quite so bad. After
a while you will get the hang of it, just
as you get the bang of the bicycle, and
you will be able to work it all right

Tessie Gibbs, Benjamin's wife, p
peared before Judge Dunne in Chicago,
as it it related by the Record Herald,
and asked for a divorce on tbe ground
of desertion. Mrs. Gibbs was dramatic
when the took the stand.
"Why did he desert me?" the de
manded. "Why, for no other -reason
than because he got weary of me he
felt tired of home, and he wanted to
wander around the country. After he
bad left me I met him on the street one
day. I stopped, so did be.
"'Mr. Gibbs,' says I, 'why don't
you come home?'
" 'Don't talk to me of tuch things,'
