Agricultural uEpErlmEnt,
PEANUT CULTURE.
Mr. Eneas S. Murphy writes an in
Uresting anil valuable article con
cerning the Spanish peanut or ground-
pea. He says:
My attention was attracted to the
Spanish peanut w hile at Brunswick,
Ga.,twoor three years back attend
ing the spring meeting of our State
Agricultural Society.
Some pea nuts were given me to eat
by a farmer from Southern (4a., who
was stopping at the same boarding
house. I noticed that they were very
email, unsightly little nuts, which
seemingly were gathered before they
were gro'wn, but they were clean and
plump, and noticing that they had a
very rich flavor and extra taste. 1 re
marked to the gentlemuti that 1 grew
large crops of pea-nuts in Middle
Ueorgia, and that while he could beat
me in clean, nice flavored nuts, 1
could beat his section in large size and
quantities, thinking, as 1 did, that the
difference in taste and flavor was due
to the difference in the soil and cli
mate of the two sections. He inform
ed me that they wore of Spanish vari
ty—and that the size, flavor Ac., was
due to the kind, and not to his section.
He referred me to a large grower,
Mon. S. W. Brown, a very prominent
farmer of his section, who had been
growing them for several crops—and
how he obtained the seed and of the
enormous yields, the number of
pounds of pork raised almost ex
clusively on these peanuts, how they
grew in large clusters near the top of
the ground, how easily they were to
harvest, &e.
1 procured one bushel of this gen
tleman and the lirst year I think. 1
made at least sixty or seventy bushels,
but did not gather all of them; only
gathered about thirty bushels, but
estimated the crop at what 1 did
gather to be about above figures. 1
have been Rowing these altogether
since. Have discarded the common
pea-nut which 1 had been growing for
several years principally for hogs, only
gathering enough for seed and a few
over to eat, which variety 1 found paid
me largely; but finding in the Spanish
so much a superior for all purposes 1
quit planting any other. I don’t see
how 1 could grow hogs without pea
nuts. 1 can w ith the Spanish pea-nut,
grow meat in this country as cheap as
in Tennessee or Kentucky or many of
the Western States. There is no ne-
i essitv for any farmer living in Georr
gia buying meat if lie will grow the
Spanish peanut. Besides growing
them for meat alone they are so easi
ly gathered and saved bright and nice
that he can realize good prices for
them, thus making them much of a
money crop. Any lover of pea-nuts
will readily take to the Spanish so
soon as he eats them, and if explained
to him the kind they will be sought
for by the trade. At present they are
not in in'll known, and the buyers of
pea-nuts, force the seller or dealer to
furnish the Virginia, North Carolina
and other large kinds which have line
pods but are very deficient in kernels,
and far inferior iii ta*ta and flavor to
the Spanish. Besides these varieties
are not profitable to grow in Georgia,
our soil and climate not being adapt
ed to them so well as the more north
ern Southern states, Virginia and
North < 'aroliim.
The Spanish pea-nut being a native
of Spain, having a elimnteeurreHpoiid-
ing somewhat to our own Georgia
climate, it finds hero everything it
teems that is necessary to its growth.
They cannot be planted as early as
the common. The time of planting
as fixed by those who have succeeded
with them best, is in April, or as soon
as you would risk*cotton seed. Plant
;n rows two and a half to- three feet,
bed up land just as for cotton til*
same preparation, except that it is not
necessary to use any fertilizer or sta
ble manure. Most any of our lands
seem to be sufficiently rich for them,
in fact 1 have not been able to see
that rich land suits them, i know that
anything else without heavy manur
ing. One or two shallow plowings witli
sweeps is all that is necessary, in fact
1 have never given mine but one
plowing, and one hoeing which how
ever was not sufficient to keep clean
of grass and weeds which grew during
our last year’s wet season very fast blit
1 was not able to see that such did
/my very material damage to my yield
of peanuts. They mature if planted
at time of planting cotton, early in
August. Can be gathered again and
same land planted then which will
mature another crop by frost, thus
growing two crops a year on same
1 land. They can be planted from April
until August in different patches, or
fields, thus securing a succession of
crops maturing from August until af
ter frost and hogs can subsist and fat
ten on them, ready for the shambles,
wxccpt 1 find it is better to put them
ii]> in a pen anil feed on corn a few
days to harden the flesh. Pea-nuts
having a tendency to make soft lies]) ;
anil lard, which however can be oh- j
vinted by a finishing corn feed.
They grow up tali, do not tiller out
anil take root as other varieties.
They grow in a cluster immediately
under the vine, encli nut is securely
fastened by a large fibrous stem which
lias sufficient strength to pull up ev
ery lint to which it is attached with
out breaking, which stem dries very
■oon after being exposed to sun and
becomes very brittle, enabling ft bund
to gather the pea-nuts from the vine
very rapidly. There is no use plowing
or digging up the Spanish pea-nuts,
the vines are tall, and a hand can
easily pull them up and not one nut
in a thousand will pull off anil he left
in the ground. They are small poda
but perfectly filled witli kernels that
will average larger than those of the
large deceptive pod varieties. It is
very rare even to find a pod not per
fectly filled. They weigh more to the
bushel than any other kind have
been tested and* found to contain
more oil, and of much superior quali
ty than any other. 1 have always
saved and cured for forage my ground-
pea vines which inukes a hay equal
to red clover. The vine of the Span
ish growing up,instead of running
and spreading oiit like the common
pea-nut, makes it easier to gather
them, can bo cut with a scythe and
cured on all that are intended for
hogs to gather, but those intended
for seed, or other purposes, should
have the vine to pull them up by, and
after the peas have been secured and
gathered off they can be stored for
feeding. 1 cut off all the vines last
year from those intended for my hogs
and siloed them in mv ensilage of
green corn, and I find that it is excel
lent ensilage. Our Agricultural De
partment beenme very much inter
ested in these pea nuts and recogniz
ing their value to our farmers did
much to gather from various sourees
the seed to furnish farmers, but the
seed were gathered from various par
ties who were careless or did not
know how to save them properly for
seed, and but very few obtained any
thing like a stand. Many failed to
get enough to come tip to allow to
stand. 1 have saved several bushels
over what 1 will plant this year which
are dean, pure and perfectly sound
seed, which I will furnish farmers de
siring to obtain pure, sound seed for
planting. It ■will soon be time to
plant them; prepare some land as for
cotton and drop the nuts about 18
inches in the drill, cultivate shallow,
and you will have more pea-nuts to
the acre than “Garter had oats.”

BLOOD AND MONEY.
The blood of man has much to do
| in shaping his actions during 11is pil
grimage through this troublesome
world, regardless of the amount of
present or expectant money in pocket
or stored away in bank. It is a con
ceded fact that we appear as our
blood makes us, and the purer the
blood, the happier, healthier, prettier
and wiser we are; hence the oft re
peated interrogatory, “how is your
hlooil?” With pure streams of life-
giving fluid coursing through our
veins, bounding through our hearts
and ploughing through our physical
frames, our morals become better, our
constitution stronger, our intellectual
faculties more acute and grander, and
men, woihen anil children happier,
healthier and more lovely.
The unprecedented demand, the
unparalleled curative powers, and
the unmistakable proof from those
of unimpeachable character and in
tegrity, point with an unerring linger
to B. 13. 13.— Botanic Blood Balm—as
far the best, the cheapest, the quick
est and the grandest and most power
ful blood remedy ever before known
to mortal man, in the relief and posi
tive cure of Scrofula, Rheumatism,
Skin diseases, all taints of blood pois
on, Kidney complaints, old ulcers and
sores, cancers, catarrh, etc.,
B. B. B. is only about three years
old—t). baby in uge, a giant in power
—but no remedy in America can make
or ever has made sucli a wonderful
fallowing in its magical powers in
curing and entirely eradicating the
above complaints, mill gigantic sales
in tlie face of frenzied opposition and
would-be moneyed monopolists.
Letters from all points where intro
duced are pouring in upon us, spenk-
ing in its loudest pruise. Some say
they receive more benefit from one
bottle of B. B. B. than they have from
twenty, thirty and fifty and even one
hundred bottles of a boasted decoc
tion of inert and non-medicinal roots
anil branches of common forest trees.
We hold the proof in black and white,
and we also hold the fort.
All who desire full information
about tlie cause and cure of Blood
Poisons, Scrofula and Scrofulous
Swellings, Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism,
Kidney Complaints, Catarrh, etc.,
can secure bv mail, free, a copy of
our IW-page illustrated Book of Won
ders, filled with the most wonderful
uuil startling proof ever before
known.

Dairying.
Wo are surprised that the number of
dairies arc so few in Georgia. What can
pay better? The consumption of the food
taken Dv the cows, Is paid back in three
fold way—in milk, the growth of stock
and the manure; which last often bahmoes
the fir jt cost of the food. It is in that
respect that stock raising is superior to
exclusive grain growing.
That tired feeling and loss of appe
tite are entirely overcome by Hood's
Sarsaparilla, the peculiar medicine.
Try it and see.
