PUnt Spanish Peanuts tor Your Hogs.
The peanut ought to be bowii
ten times as olten as it ie when
pork ie to be made on"tbe farm;
and ae eoon as more peauute are
grown, more pork will be grown.
The Arkansas ExperimentSta
tion after growing Spanish pea
nuts ten or fifteen years, of sev
eral varieties reported; "As a
hog feed, nothing has been found
that will more cheaply produce a
gain in weight equal to that pro
duced Jbv the Spanish peanut
As compared with corn, the
standard hog food,one-fourt h of
an acre of peanuts produced 813
pouuds of pork and the same
area of corn produced odi^ 100
pounds?a difference of nearly
three hundred per cent in favor
of Spanish peanuts as compared
with corn." The Alabama Sta
tion found that one pound of
growth required 1.77 pounds of
grain when the hogs were on pea
nut pasturage, on chufas, 2.30;
on rape 2.08, on cowpeas 3 07;j
on sweet potatoes 3.13; ou sor
ghum 3.70 Seven pigs uvera
giug 28.10 pounds gained in six
weeks on peanut pasture
alone 503 pouuds per acre. Five
Tamworths aggregating 895
pounds were pastured twenty
days on Spanish peanuts and
the lot gained 220 pounds?45 8
pounds per hog in twenty days.
That was a gain of 2 20 pouuds
per hog per day.
Of course hogs should be tin
ished off with a little corn after
peanuts, before killing; but the
Spanish peanut will grow practi
cally anywhere that cowpeas
will, makes a big yield per acre,
and makes more pork per pound
of feeu than corn will. Other va
rieties of peanuts are more {par
ticular about the type of soil
tbev grow on, and will not ma
ture in so short atime. In the
Northern half of Mississippi and
Alabama and in the Southern
half of Arkausas they may be
planted as late as the middle of
August; in the Northern half of
Arkansas and Tennessee and in
North Carolina, as late as the
first or middle of July. Earlier
planting will be better when con
venient, and planting may be
done as soon as danger of frost
is past.
\ The yield varies from 25 to
r^O bushels per acre, 100 not
befog uncommon. The nuts are
not all of the crop by any means
A good yield of hay may bq bad
under good management, and
the bay pound for pound will
nearly equal {clover or alfalfa.
The hay yield will vary from one
to upwards of two and a half
tons per acre, and should be
worth at least $10 per ton. How
ia that for a by-product? The
hay may be mown before the
hogB are turned in to root out
the nutH, or the vinee may be
grazed off by horses,cattle, sheep
or goats. The crop will, vinee
and nuts, then go back to the
laud in the form of manure, and
t he land will be gently enriched
thereby.
The peanut may be grown in !
corn, like cowpeas; or may fol
low some other crop that has
been harvested, as Irish pota
toes, crimson clover, etc. They |
may be planted in missing places j
in the cotton and corn, as is fre-1
quently done with cowpeas I
1 hey can be planted in young I
orchards; and will not climb or [
iujure the tree it planted near,
as velvet beans or cowpeas
would. They are a surer crop
than corn. If eaten by stock so
that the manure goes back to
the land, they will improve the
land. They tit in with almost
any style of funning and the
Spanish variety thrives on al
most any type of soil that is not
too wet while the crop is grow
ing. If there is any crop that of
fers a big opportunity to the
farmer, Spanish peanuts do
Anything from man to hogs will
eat them with pleasure.?Chas.
