Peanuts In the South,
Tim moi iT in tiikik cultivation and
IIOW THEY AUK USUI).
Tho croj) of poniiuts nto United
States this year is estimated to be
worth $3,000,001). Virginia will throw
upon tho tnarkut at least 2,400,000
bushels, Tcnnesseo 276,000 bushels,
North Carolina 135,000 bushels, South
Carolina 100,000 bushels, and Ala
bama ns much as both tho Carolina?
combined.
Northern pcoplo have but a faint
idea what a great business peanut rais
ing has becomo in tho South. Fortunes
at which aomo New York brokers
would open their eyes in amazement
nro mado south of Mason and Dixon's
line, and mado from peanuts, too.
If, as some people believe, Africa
sent a curso to America in slavery, sho
certainly conferred a blessing in the
universally popular peanut which grows
bo well throughout tho Southern re
gions that wo shall soon bo able to cut
off their now large Importation alto
gether. In Virginia they are called
"peanuts;" in North Carolina "ground
ieas," in South Carolina, Georgia and
lUsiiBimii, "phidore;" in Alabama,
"ground-nuts," and in Tennessee, "goo
bers." Tho preparation of peanuts for the
market u an interesting operation.
They aro first put into an immense cyl
inder, from which they enter tho brush
es, where each nut receives fifteen or
sixteen feet of brushing before it be
comes, free. After this cleansing pro
cess tho nuts drop on an endless bolt,
which revolves very slowly. On each
sido of tho belt is a row of girls black,
white, tan-colored and crushed straw
berry, somo of them whoso duly it is
to separate tho poor nuts from tho good
ones.
Those of tho nuts that "pass" go on
to tho next room, whero more await
their arrival and put them in bags
which, when filled, aro sowed up and
branded as "cooks," with tho figuro of
a rooster prominent on each sack.
Thcso aro the "No. 1" peanuts. Tho
poorer, which wcro separated by the
girls at the cndlesss belt aro all picked
over again; tho best aro singled out and
branded, and afer beiug put in the
sack, as "ships." Tho "ships" are not
bo largo nor so fine in appearance as
tho "cocks" but they aro just as good
for eating.
Tho third grade of nuts is kuown as
'eagles," and tho cullings that are left
from the "eagles' aro Bent to a build
ing whero tho little meat that is in them
is extracted by a patent shelter. This,
"meat for by this nama it is known
to tho dealers is put up, clean and
nice, ir. 200 pound bags and shipped
for tho uso of confectioners and manu
facturers of peannt candy.
There is also an oil made from some
of the nuts, and in this specialty, I am
told, a largo trado is dono by whole
sale druggist. Of tho peanuts thoro is
nothing wasted, for even tho shells are
mado useful, being put in immense
sacks and sold to livery men for horso
bedding, and a very comfortablej health
ful bed thoy make.
I seo by ono of tho Atlanta papers
that a mill is to bo built for the manu
facture of peanut flour, which it is said
makes most excellent biscuit. In parts
of Georgia I havo eaten pastry made
from peanut Hour, and it was excellent,
resembling cocoanut in taste somowhat,
although much moro oily and sweet.
Tho kernels of tho peanuts aro groud
between ordinary millstones and tho
flour i8"bolted,'' or sifted through wire
sioves in order that all tho coarse, sharp
Eieces and tho leather-like skins may
o removed. Tho refuse if it may be
so called makes excellent toou lor
pice.
Tho cultivation of the peanut will,
beforo long, be ono of the industries of
tho bouth, and bids fair, in time, to
rival cotton growing as an occupation,
tho profits to each aero of land being
about the same, and peanuts aro much
easier to grow than cotton, requiring
less caro and attention.
There is one objection however, to
peanut flour as a steady diet. It is
said to bo very injurious to tho teeth,
causing them first to turn yellow and
then deoay.
Digging Wells.
Tho Massachusetts l'loughman
somo timo since had tho following di
rections in regard to digging wells :
Tho old way of digging a well and
stoning it up so as to leave it about
three feet in diameter, is a verv erood
ono if tho water is to bo drawn up with
buckets; but if only with a pump it is
a very poor way ; lor it, as is tho usual
custom, tho well bo covered at tho top,
it leaves a very large space for dead
air, which often becomes so bad tliat it
affects tho quality of tho water; and
also makes it unsafe to enter tho well.
When a well thus stoned has only a
pump in it, tho covering should bo un
der water or very near it; but if it is
known that only a pump is to bo used,
tho oxpenco of stoning may be saved,
and the water kept in a much better
condition. This is done by digging
tho well in a dry time, and, when ' dug
as low as possible, a cement pipe, somo
two or three feet long, is sunk at tho
bottom and worked down as low as
possible by digging out the in
side; tho pipo should bo covered over
with a flat stone, through tho middle
of which a two inch holo has been
drilled; directly over this holo stand up
drain-pipe, then begin to fill in tho
holo. When filled as high as tho top
of tho first piece of drain pipe, put on
another, being careful to havo it
straight with the other, and the lino
perpendicular; continue filling and
adding drain-pipo until it is ns high as
the surrounding ground, or if tho pump
is not to stand directly over tho well,
then when it is filled within four feet
of tho surface put in tho numnpitie,
and lead it off in a trench to whero tho
pump is to stand. When it is found
that tho pipe is all right, finish filling
tho well, leaving somo durable mark
that tho position of tho well may bo
known.
A well of this kind is roliablo and
permanent, requiring no repair, tho
water is cool and free from impurities
mat open wens nro suuioct to ; no in
sects or animals can find their way in
to it, and tho cost is not moro than ono
half that of a well that is stoned. If
dug, as it Bhould be, when tho springs
nro low, a constant supply of water
that is as pure as the underground
springs, is secured. As tho well is al
ways full thcro is no chance for bad
air to injure the water, and in faot hut
little danger of being polluted by sur
rounding cesspools.

TllltOl'llV AND T1IK COMMOTION
CAUsr.n nv onp, of ins
I.KTTBK9.
(Rochester Democrat and Chronicli.)
Vo published on our third pace yes
terday morning a magnlfloant letter
from a gentleman known personally or
reputation to nearly overy person in tho
land. Wo havo received a number of
letters nrotestinir nsainst the uso af our
columns for aucli "palpable frauds and
firin beyond a doubt tho authenticity of
tho letter, and tho'genuinoncs of its son
tiincnts, n reporter of this paper was
commissioned to ascertain, nil tho possl-
utu muis iii mo inaiici. .accordingly
ho visited Clifton Springs, saw the nu
thor of tho letter, and with the follow
ing result :
Dr. Henry 1'ostcr, the ucnlleman in
question, is 03 or C t years of aire and
has an extremely cordial manner. Ho
presides ns superintendent over tho
celebrated sanitarium which accommo
dates over 500 guests and is unques
tionably the leading health rojort of tho
country. Several years ago this bene
volent man wisely determined to bo his
own executor; nnd, thereforo turned
over this magnificant property worth
$300,000, as a frco gift to a board of
trustees, representing tho principal
evangelical 'denominations. Among
tno trustees are liisnop A. (J, CJoxe, fro
testant Episcopal, Buffalo ; Bishop
Matthew Simpion, Philadelphia, Mo
tlmdist Episcopal ; President M 1$.
Anderson, of tho University of Roches
ter ; Itev. Dr. Clark, Secretary of tho
A. B. C. V. M., Boston. The benevo
lent purpose of tho institution is tho
care : 1st. of ovaugolical missionar
ics and their families whoso health has
been broken in their work. 2nd. of
ministers, of any denomination, in cood
standing, 3rd. of members of any
church ; who otherwise would bo unablo
to sccuro such caro and treatment. The
current expenses of tho institution are
met by tho receipt from the hundreds
of distinguished nnd wealthy poople
Who every year crowd its utmost capa
city. Hero come men and women who
were once in perfect health, but neg
lected tho first symptoms of disease.
The uncertain pains they felt at first
were overlooked until their health be
came impaired. They littlo realized
tho danger before them, nor how alarm,
ing even trilling ailments might prove.
They constitute all classes, including
ministers and bishops, lawyer, judges,
statesmen, millionarics, journalists, col
lego professors and officials from all
parts of the land.
Drawing tho morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, tho reporter
remarked, "Doctor, that letter of yours
has created a good deal of talk, and
many of our readers have questioned its
authenticity."
'To what do you refer V remarked
tho doctor.
"Havo you never seen the paper?"
"Yes, but I havo not had tune to
read it yet.''
The reporter thereupon showed him
tho letter, which was as follows :

I wish you might come down your

"I do not seo why anybody should
be skeptical concerning that letter," re
marked the doctor.
"Isn't it unusual for a physician of
your standing and inlluenco to com
mend a proprietory preparation 1"
I don't know how it may bo with
others, but in this institution wo allow
no person to dictate to us what wo
shall use. Our purpose is to euro the
sick, and for that work wo uso any
thing wo know to bo valuable. Because
I know Warner's Safe Cure is a very
valuublo preparation, I commend it. As
its power is manifested under my use,
so shall I add to tho completeness of my
commendation."
"Havo you ever analyzed it, doc
tor V
"Wo always analyze beforo wo try
any preparation of which wo do not
know tho constituents. But analysis,
you know, only gives tho elements ; it
does not give tho all iraortant pronor
tions. Tho remarkable power of War
ner's Safo Curo undoubtedly consists in'
tho proportions according to which its
elements aro mixed." Whilo there
may be a thousand remedies made oi
tho same elementB, unless they aro
put together in proper proportions, thoy
aro worthless as kidnoy nnd liver pre
parations.
a liopo somo day to meet Mr. Y ar-
ner personally, and extend further con
gratulations to him on th excellence
of his preparations. I have heard
much of him as tho founder of tho
Warner Observatory, nnd as a man of
large benevolence. Tho reputed high
character of tho man himself gavo as-,
suranco to me in tho first place that ho
would not put a remedy upon tho
market that was not trustworthy ; and
it was a source of i good deal of grati
fication to mo to find out by actual ex
periment that tho remedy Itself sustain
ed my impressions."
J. lio conclusion reached by Dr. ros
ter is precisely tho samo found by Dr.
Dio Lewis, Dr. Robert A. Gunn, Ex-Surgeon-General
Gallaaher and others,
and proves beyond a doubt tho great
ellicacy of the remedy which has
awakened so much attention in the
land and rescued so many men, wo
men nnd children from disease and
death.

THE COLUMBIAN AND
How Queen Viotoria Spends her Time.
If the day is lino tho Qucon drives to
Krogmoro in an open oarriago mid thcro
breakfasts in tho house, unless the
weather is very hot, whon her Majesty
takes tho meal In a tent on tho lawn,
jniid reads her private letters npd news
papers. Tho Queen uuvcr takes up a
newspaper that ha not been previous
ly perused by a lady in waiting, who
,mnrks all the passages that she thinks
would interest her Majesty, who is
supposed to look at nothing that Is not
marked. Afterward tho Queen goes
to another room or another tent, and
proceeds to tho business of tho day.
there aro seldom less than twenty, and
ofton more than thirty boxes to bo gone
through, and a groom is kept constant
ly riding between tho Queen at Frog
moro aud Sir Henry Pousonby at tho
castle.
After about three hours of inccsssant
work her Majesty drives back to the
castlo with tho boxes in tho carriage ;
nnd they nro then carried tip-stairs on
a tray and sorted nnd despatched by
Sir Henry Ponsmiby. Then her Maj
esty lunclicn with Princess Beatrice,
and other members of her family who
aro at tho oastle ; nnd unless there is
any ceremony of state appointed
f'ir tho day, they afterward take a walk
in tho sunk garden or on tho slopes
nnd later go out for a drive. On their
return thoy retire for a littlo necessary
retire for a littlo necessary rest before
preparing for dinner, which brings the
day a visitors. Tho only part of tho
Queen's daily routine which never va
rics is the morning work, which comes
ns regularly as that of any clerk in the
city, and everything is dono by her
Majesty with conscientious, thorough
ness, iiie .ucen looks into every
thing herself, and the public havo littlo
idea of the prodigious number and va
riety of the subjects which come beforo
her for decision. It is an axiom among
all ,vho havo served tho Queen, that if
thoy can only get their ave looked into
by her Majesty, strict justice is assured.
At Winsdor her lifo is moro laborious
than elsewhere, from tho incessant vis
itors nnd ceremonies, and tho impossi
bility of getting away from tho pomp
and pageantry of a court. There is
nothing which her Majesty so much
dislikes at the castle as tho innumera
ble Bcntrics, who aro everywhero to bo

nover ceases along tho oast terrace, un
derneath the windows of tho private
aparmonts.
The Vermont of To-Day.
There nro fewer farms wo suspect in
Vermont ; thcro aro as many deserted
iarms and decayed towns in Southern
Vermont to day as there ever were in
our history i at least that is the testi
mony given us by a very intelligent
farm-bred lawyer who has recently per
sonally visited the towns that touch
either Ride of tho Green Mountains,
from the Massachusetts line to Addison
county. In Stratton, whero Webster,
in 1810, addressed tho great Whig
mass-meeting, the farmhouso where
Webster spent tho night is a ruin and
tho farm deserted. In tho woodland
you meet the ruins of old 4 foot stone
walls ,; in .Somerset you find in tho for
est stono walls nnd tho remains of an
old highway, tho decaying abutments
of a former bridge across the stream
are all that remain of tho civilization
that was represented by a church, a
grist mill and a country' store. The
woodland has so encroached upon these
deserted farms that our friend is confi
dent there is more woodland to-day in
mountain towns of Vermont than there
lias been at any time during the last
forty years. In the old counties of
Bennington, Windham, Windsor and
Rutland our informant found ho assures
us, pleanty of ovidenco of deserted
farms and decaying towns along either
sido of the mountain range, aud thcso
deserted farms are not being reoccupied
by any returning wanderer, although
most of the towns' are places of natural
beauty and attractiveness. Among
thcso towns nro Readsboro, Somerset,
Searsburg, Sunderland, Wardsboro,
Peru, Jamaica, Landgrove, Weston,
Plymouth, Shaftsbury, Winhall, and
several mountain towns in Rutland
county. Our friend thinks that towns
touching tho mountains on cither side
havo been permanently deserted. Tho
future of Vermont, if she is to ineieaso!
henceforth largely in wealth and pop
ulation, lies in manufactures, not .en
larged agriculture, and this is true, not
only of Vermont, but of all Now Eng-i
land. Rutland Herald.
