Few, |f any, crops will produce more pounds j3>f pork on an acre of land or produce i<||t at a lower cost per pound. A good p of peanuts will produce at least pounds of pork per acre, and If he hay is harvested before turning the ogs into the patch it will practically "pay the cost of growing. In addition ,rio. the profit on the pork, the crop- reducing capacity of the soli will he terially increased, due to the addl- on of humus and nitrogen. This Is r'ery important, as much of the land n the peanut growing sections Is de- leient in both. By making successive lantings of peanuts at intervals of 15 o 30 days It is possible in most sec- ions of the South to have peanuts vailable for the hogs .from mldsum- er until the end of 'November. In asturing hogs on peanuts it Is best to %>nflne them to small.areas by using • V? portable fences, rather than to let them have the run of the whoile field. jC t. Plant Between Cor# Row*. •JT vV I® «ome sections of "the Southern ** ftates the peanut Is planted between i vrj.'the rows of corn, either at the time *v the corn is planted or at the Inst cul­ tivation. After the corn is harvested ttle are turned in to eat the fodder nd peanut tops. Hogs are then tum­ id in to eat the peanuts. In this way ifhe stubble and roots of the peanuts Supply humus, and most of the nitro- en stored in the nodules on the roots left In the soil. Hogs fattened exclusively on peanuts §o not yield a very desirable grade of ; j&eat afid lard, as the meat is soft and •Ihe lard oily. This can be remedied $o a large extent, however, by feeding itorn and other feeds along with the {ten nuts. _ f In addition to growing peanuts to be :$ed in the field, the crop can be cured ; «nd stored in barns or sheds for win­ ter feeding* The entire plant Is a very Valuable feed for nearly all classes of ||ve stock. Peanut hay, consisting of <|he entire plant after the nuts are re­ moved, has a much higher feeding falue thab the grass hays and about ;.|he same value as clover hay. The iverage yield of peanut hay Is about two-thirds of a ton per acre. With fi,000,000 acres of peanuts, the esti­ mated acreage for 1917, there would 'fie produced about 1.333,000 tons of $00K FOR INSECT TROUBLES / Inspect Crops Often and Report Out­ breaks of Pests With Which Yini Are Net Familiar, "•(*'-'* p ^raptred t y the United States Depart- ' ment of Agriculture.)

The peanut Is especially valuable as a crop to be grown for feed In the drier sections of the Southwest, where it Is Impossible to grow corn to advan­ tage. Peanuts will withstand drought better than most farm crops. In some regions where corn will not produce five bushels per acre, peanuts have proved very satisfactory. The crop Is of value also on land carrying a consid­ erable percentage of alkali. Peanut meal, a by-product from pea* nut oil manufacture, is a highly con­ centrated feed. The meal made from shelled nuts contains about 45 per cent protein, 6 to 9 per cent fat, and 23 to 24 per cent carbohydrates. Meal made from the unshelled nuts contains about 30 per cent protein, 6 to 9 per cent fat, and 21 to 22 per cent carbo­ hydrates. The meai from shelled nuts has about the same feeding value as cottonseed meal and can be used for the same purpose* With the short­ age of feeds high in protein thi de­ mand for peflnut meal at a good price will probably exceed the supply. It is especially valuable for dairy cattle and hogs and has been used to furnish a large percentage of the protein in a home-mixed horse feed. ' In fact, one large farmer has been using pea­ nut meal for several years for feeding work horses and claims that it is the cheapest protein feed he has ever used. It can be used in quite large quan­ tity in connection with other feeds without Injurious effects. When fed to hogs peanut meal does not produce soft pork, and for this reasonit J* preferable to raw peanuts. ^ Shells for Feed. f;> Peanut shells, which accumulate Tin large quantities at cleaning and shell­ ing factories, are sometimes ground with low-grade peanuts and sold for feed. The shells, however, have prac­ tically no feeding value, as they con­ sist largely of crude fiber. All peanut feeds should be sold on the basis of their protein, fat. and car­ bohydrate content rather than on the ton'basis. For example, 750 pounds of meal made from shelled peanuts has practically the same feeding value as 1,350 pounds of meal made from un­ shelled nuts. These amounts represent the meal left as a by-product from pea­ nut oil manufactured from a ton of farmers' stock Spanish peanuts. Deal­ ers selling peanut meal should show on the label whether It Is made from shelled or unshelled nuts; In fact, this la required by law in soipe states. INCREASE NUMBER OF SILOS Rtora Beef Cattle Can Be Produced Fed Economically During Winter Season. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) A silo campaign to increase the number of silos on beef-cattle farm'i is being conducted by the bureau of an­ imal industry in co-operation with state authorities and county agents: With more silos more beef cattle can he produced and economically fed dur­ ing the winter. This campaign, there­ fore, has a direct bearing on increas­ ing the meat supply of the nation. The campaign is being given special atten­ tion ia the Southern states, partleu larty in territory which has recently been Treed from cattle-tick quarantine, where the production of beef cattle la on the increase.

Grit for Poyltrj^t ^ is essential to the hefilth Of fowls and to economy In feeding. Grit takes the place of teeth in preparing flie feed for further digestion, and is acquired for the proper preparation of feed in the gizzard. When the feed "is not properly taken care of in this organ, an undue strain Is thrown on the fowl's system, often resulting ia disease, and also allowing much of the nutriment to pass through the bird'* body without being absorbed. In every pen or yard a box ef grit should be kept Investigators have asserted that grit Is a part of the necessary feed, giving the fowls strong bones and a plummage. :j LENGTH OF THE WAR :: Far-seeing men believe that we have Just begun to fight, and wise men realize that the only safe policy is for us to assume that the straggle win be long and bitter. It is vain to ask how long the war will last, for such ques­ tioning tempts us to guess, and when we go to guessing our self- interest causes us to guess the best and so to take some chance in effort or sacrifice. All that we know is that we must win. From Address by Clarence Ous- ley, Assistant Secretary of Ag­ riculture. Both Large and Smalt Hat*, Loaded, or Unloaded With Trimming, Fashionable This Season; This is a season of wide diversity of ideas In millinery. As a very suc­ cessful and well-known milliner re­ marked the other day, "Any style that Is becoming is fashionable this sea­ son." lou may wear big hats or little hats or hats of medium size, and they may be of any fabric practical for millinery; and as for trimming there are models rather elaborately trimmed, simply trimmed models and hats al­ most entirely devoid of trlmmlngC This Is indeed welcome news,»and woe to the woman who does not have a becoming hat. She cannot blame Itwn the modes of the moment, but Upon her own lack of judgment or care In the selection of this most' Im­ portant detail of her wardrobe. braid, embroidery or other ornamen­ tation for gowns. One finds that man­ ufactured articles are becoming mora and more limited. Once upon a-time thls wofid, which dearly loves a phrase, twisted and turned the words '^irreducible mini­ mum" in fantastic ways to suit a va­ riety ot meanings. This phrase was a sister In popularity to President Cleve­ land's famous "Innocuous desuetude." Today the expression that has super­ seded all others Is "the elimination of nonessentials," and there are thou­ sands of women who will tell you that that means both "irreducible mini­ mum" and "Innocuous desuetude." It Is well for an extravagant continent that the irreducible mini mum pah be arrived at through compulsion. Trimmed With Bits of Themselves. A report of what women have ddne In devising ornamentation for their clothes would read as an Interesting bit of war history. Out from the depths have come some of the orna­ mentations. The designers, however, have found that the best way to trim a gown is with Itself. There Is very little danger then of its becoming a patchwork quilt. Tucks have returned, therefore. They have been launched on the new auutmn gowns as something of a nov­ elty. They are not permitted in wool­ en clothes, because the government asks us to omit every inch of super­ fluous worsted material, but we are omitting it by the yardage instead of the inch, and are finding ourselves quite content with composition gowns that have only a dash of wool in them, and often none at all. A woman depends on furs, capes and top coats for warmth. As for the materials which are available today, they may last through the winter.- There is much talk of wearing satin, taffeta, pongee and va­ rious heavy Chinese silks throughout I the cold weather, making them com­ fortable for the open or for heatless | houses by the addition of warm un­ derwear, and top coverings. The designers have banked heavily on the usage of thin materials for pext winter and therefore they have brought about this resurrected fash­ ion of trimming a gown with Itself, which Is quite easily done when the material is soft and pliable. When tucks are used they are ar­ ranged horizontally. They do not con­ fuse themselves with pleats, which are vertical. A-few of the new skirts aro tucked from the bone of the hips to the hem, the tucks touching each oth­ er and made from an inch to two Inches wide. Sometimes this consti­ tutes the entire trimming of a gown. But when the skirt is extra narrow at the hem the barrel effect Is more striking than It has been for two years. Affecting the Waistline. There Is no possibility of reducing our waists to a small measurement. The planked-shad type which has pre­ vailed for eight years can wear Its snshes where lt pleases, but what about the thousands of other women, thin and stout, who have allowed their waists to broaden out into sculp­ tural measurements? These waists have muscles that are strong and un- pllable, and they will not be squeezed in by corsets. Therefore, only the willow type--the slim, little, boneless youngster--can pull In her waist and tie a sash around It with impunity. One thing Is practically certain: If the tight, draped skirt brings back the normal waist, women will allow the straight line of their figures to con­ tinue, and they will merely drape the waist in Its new, Urge measurements, without an attempt to make them­ selves uncomfortable.

In spite of the revived interest in calico frocks and the swinging away from traneparentnes8 In summer frocks there is still a demand for the contrivance that will render the petti­ coat not transparent when the frock skirt is of diaphanous texturt?. Last year pique skirts finished only with a neatly scalloped ruffle were worn with transparent frocks, sometimes beneath the beruffled, lace-trimmed underskirt. Now what Is, called a "dimmer" has been put on the market. It consists of two panels arranged on light elastics so that it will stay in place at waist and hips and extend down to the an­ kles Just far enough to give the de­ sired opaqueness without adding to the bulk of the lingerie. .

" This is the latest mandate of the goddess of style, and the news was brought to American women here by Miss Margaret Breaker, foreign buyer for a prominent American Sim, who arrived from France. "You can tell. American women that styles for fall and winter call for skirts at least three inches shorter and much tighter," said Miss Dreaker. "Jackets are to be shorter, and tighter, too.
