The l'eanut as an Article of Commerce. The demand for concentrated and condensed foods has led to a very car e- ful and scientific study of the peanut and its possibilities, l'eanut meal and peanut grits are richer in nitrogen than almost any of the other vegetable seeds known. Peanut oil has become a staple article of commerce, and the manufacture of it is engaging a large mount of skilled labor and a great deal of valuable machinery, some of which has been made or arranged ex pressly for this purpose. Peanut oil is of a delicate amber tint and has a very agreeable taste and odor. It re quires but a slight reliuing process, and once freed from the fret acid which the raw oil contains, keeps well, iudeed better than ordinary olive oil. Another seed that is attracting con siderable attention as a commercial product is that of the sunflower. Sun flower seed oil is one of the most de licious productions of nature. The oil is comparatively uukuown, but as Boon as the public learns its value'it is bound to become popular, not only for its delicious flavor, but it is said to keep better than any other oil. An objection to its use by certain tempera ments is that it is extremely fattening. Sunflower seeds have long been a deli cacy in Russia. They are eaten either raw or roasted like popcorn. Confec tions are also made of thein aud lat terly they have been extensively used for oil by cold pressure. An eminent scientist predicts that the sunflower crop at no distant day will receive quite as much attention as is now be atowed upon corn, peas, beans and lite products. 1 ho Hangers of Lap Dogs.

They furnish to the soil, what is most needed, an al kali, phosphoric acid and nitrogen both of them are inodorous and show their effecta immediately on their ap plication. Andrew H. Ward. Clover Philosophy. The fact that clover supplies atmos pheric nitrogen to the sou is one rea sou why all grain crops do well after clover. It iloes another kind thing, however, for tho farmer. The other two remaining elements of fertility are potash aud phosphate acid, boils have a great abuudnnce of these elements, but tbo greater poitiou of them is locked up iu forms in which the ordi nary grain crops cannot utilize them. Tho clover plaut, however, has the faculty of getting after aud using all these forms of fertility where other plants fail, and as tho clover hay is fed to stock and the manure resulting is hauled to the field, and as the roots decay iu the soil, these elements are left iu a position where the other plants can nse them. Herein lies the danger of constantly growing clover. If any clover is nsed as a stimulaut, or, say, a fertilizer, and the resulting crops of hay are sold, the roots plowed uuder, grow corn, wheat, oats, aud these sold, and this process kept on from year to yeor, the result will be the bankruptcy of the laud iu potash and phosphoric acid, the absolute refusal of clover to grow, and the disense known as "clover sickness." When laud reaches this poiut it is the most hopelessly barren of all soils, aud cau only be recluimed by the liberal use of fertilizers or else lying idle for a number of years, until the forces of nature gradually unlock, by freezing and thawing, the mineral element s that all plants require. Farm, Htock and Home. Selecting Cowl For the lliitry. l'ruf. T. L. Haecker, of the Minne sota Experiment Station, says: We must first determine what we want the animals for, and then select those which are adapted for that particular pur pose. At the university we keep a careful account of the cost of keeping each cow of the herd, with a view of determining tho cost of a pound of butter made from the milk of each cow. The cost varied from eight to twelve cents a pound, some animals costiug fifty per cent, more than others in producing a pound of buttor. We divided the herd into two classes aud found that the division that cost the most to prodnce butter had a tendency to put on flesh more than the others. Iu order to be doubly sure that our conclusions were correct, we made a second test with the same result. Now, why was this? I examined the two classes1 individually and found that the spare built cow, with a deep body, was the best duiry cow. In both divisions all breeds of cows were repre sented. What we wanted to find out, if possible, was how to be able to tell, without making a mistake, the animal that would make butter the cheapest. Careful investigation developed the fact that it took one pound of food to maintain 100 pounds of auitual weight, so that animal that weighed 900 pounds would digest eighteen pounds of feed required nine pounds to support her self aud should return the remuiuiug nine pounds to her owner. We must feed the cow just whut she need-; Ij muiuUiu uud pruducj tlie greatest possible am mnt of milk ; select her food for her, for if you turn her out where she has access to a straw pile or other coar.se fodder she will fill her stomach with food that she does not need, and it will occupy the space iu the stomach that should be filled with nutriment to produce milk. There is another thing I have noticed, and that is, that in examining Jersey herds we find the uinmuls are gent-rally advanced in nge. Large cows are not as good for tho dairy as they have to cany too mmdi weight, uud it has u tendency to wear them out and tUey put ou beel uud break down and weur out. The Advuntitue of hlltii. I am not exactly u bUuep crank, (uys 1). H. Young, of Iowa, iu Furm News. 1 haven't been cluuioriug for more protection on wool, for 1 own no iunueiiHO flocks on u thousand or even one hill, but I do think that 1 made u big lniistake in not keeping ut least u small llock ou my farm from the time I left my futhcr's house. Sheep puy. They pay irrespective A the wool, and it is lime more of us are waking up to the fact. I am glad to see thut 1'ui in News keeps hummer ing away on the subject. Professor Curtiss, of our State Ex periment Station, hiiM very conclu sively shown our farmers tlio advan tages of i.heep raising. ily a scries of experiments, he has demonstrated that Iambs under one year old will show greater increaso from a given amount of feed than will cattle com ing two years old, and (here's the kernel of the nut) the mutton will bring a better price than tho beef! You get more pounds of it and more for it per pound. The clip of wool is just so much extra thrown in, to boot. Aud, morever, (nnd this is an other important fact) tho sheep when you have sold them, have left your laud richer and cleaner than when yon put them of it. It pays to raise sheep. An institute lecturer once summed up the advantages of sheep in this wise, aud I have kept his summing up in my scrap book, to keep up my courage when wool is low in price: l. lliey are prolilable. '2. They weaken tho Boil least and strengthen it most. 3. They are enemies of weeds. 4. The enre they need is required when other farm operations are slack. 5. The amount of investment need not be large. G. Tho returns are quick aud many. 7. They are tbe quietest and easiest handled of all farm stock. 8. Other farm products are made more largely from cash grains, while those from the sheep ore made prin cipally from pasture. 9. There is no other product of tho farm that has fluctuated so slightly in value as good mutton. 10. By comparison wool costs noth iug, for do not the horse aud cow in shedding their coats waste what the sheep saves? Iu conclusion let me repeat: Sheep py- Chemical lteason Why Fall Flowing Is ltetter Than Spring Flowing, To prepare the grouud for the seed it should be deeply plowed iu the autumn aud cross-plowed, as the laud cannot be plowed in the spring with out exposiug a large surface to the strong drying effects of the spring winds and thus occasioning the lo3s from the soil by evaporation of a quan tity of water proportioned to the in crease of surface exposed. 13y the reciprocal action of the atmosphere aud the soil the lutter keeps up its store of available nutritive matters. The Bilicates soluble with difficulty Blowly yield alkalies, lime and mag nesia iu soluble forms; the sulphides are slowly converted iuto sulphates aud generally the minerals of the soil are disiutegrated aud mixed under the inflneuce of the oxygen, the water, the carbonic acid and the nitric acid of the air. Again, the atmospheric nitrogen is assimilable by the soil iu the shape of ammonia, nitrates and the umide- like matters of humus. The rate of disintegration, as well as that of nutrification, depends in part upon the chemical aud physical character of the soil, aud partly upon the temperature aud meteorological conditions. Moreover, the soil lying in rough iuterf urrows has been subjected to the action of frost; it is in its upper lay ers so broken up aud divided iu all directions by the powerful expansion of the water, when converted into ice, as to be reduced to the condition of the greatest possible fineness recog uized and so much desired by tho far mer under the term mellowness. It has consequently attained that degre of pulverization and porosity which, with an adequate degree of moisture, affords a solid standing ground for the young plaut, while at the same time enough air for the de velopment of the germ can penetrate the surface of the soil, aud in the up per layers nutritive material for the youug plant dissolved by the moisture of the wiuter is always present. It is therefore in accordance with reason not to plow the laud at all in the spring, but to put iu the Beeds with out further preparation than a prev ious harrowing. The vigorous development of plants depends far less upon the weight and size of the seed than upon the depth to which it is covered with the earth, and upon the stores of nourishment which it fiifds in its first period of life.

If a napkin is wrung out of hot water and wrapped around the sandwiches, which should thou be placed iu a cool room, they will keep as fresh and moist as though just spread. Ilolled Potatoes. Pare the potatoes with sharp vege table knife, just as thin as possible, for that part of the tuber lying close to the skin is richest iu mineral salts, and put each potato as peeled into a pan of cold water to prevent discoloration. Have ready, meanwhile, a kettle of boiling water, and when the peeling process is complete take tho potatoes from the cold water, aud covering thein with boiling salted water, set them on the range, covered, to boil. Twenty minutes will nsually suffice, bnt to test them use a skewer or fork, and when they cau be pierced easily remove at once from the lire, pour ol! all the water, and Bet them on the back of the range, uncovered, to steam dry, assisting that process occasionally by a slight shaking of the kettle. If one asks the reason why potatoes should always bo cooked iu boiling water, try tho following experiment for proof: Take two cups, in each of which has been put a teaspoonfnl of ordinary starch. Tour over one a quarter of a cupful of boiling water, and over the other the same quantity of cold water, and obsorve the result. The one over which the boiling water was poured stays in shape, a compact mass, while the one with the cold water dissolves iuto a soft paste. The potato is largely composed of starch, and from this trial any one may draw his own conclusions. It you wish a pulpy, watery potato, use cold water, but if a dry, mealy, Btiowy ball that would delight the heart of Epicurus himself, always nse boiling water. Farm, Field and Fireside. Homemade Rugs. Pretty rugs are made of bits of flan nel of any color, the more colors the better. Thread a coarse needle with No. 8 machine thread, then double and tio a knot in the end. Cut the flannel iu pieces or strips one inch wide, and ran them iu the middle lengthwise, draw them out to the end of the thread, as closely as possible one after another, until your thread is filled. Continue in this way till you have sufficient to make the rug. The strips should all be cut on the bias, then they will form a pretty roll when run on the thread. Have a foundation of burlai or ticking of the size you waut the rug, aud sow the rolls you have prepared to the foundation, be ginning iu the middle. The rugs may bo made in any shape required. The edge may be finished with points or scallops cut from thick cloth or several rows of braid. Another pretty rug is made of burlap. Sacks that grain is put up in are as good as new.

The burlap can be colored orange, green or yellow aud when finished these rugs resemble the fine lambs' wool mats. They are just the thing for halls and entries. Good rugs can also be made of cast off, knitted underwear. This old knitted cloth cau be easily colored and when that is done, cut in strips length wise. The strips should be 1 inches wide, ltatfbl one edge to the depth of an inch aud sew the other edge to the foundation, lapping one row over the other far enough to cover the stitches by which it is fastened. The foundation may be of any heavy cloth. The firBt row should be sewed to the outer edge of the foundation aud work toward the center, finishing with a double row in the middle.

A TEMPERANCE COLUMN. fHE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST IN MArJf WAYS. The rre.ent Need A llhop' Opinion on the Temperance Qneatlon AdVoeatei of Total Abntlnence Have the Itenpeet of All Claaaee KtIIk of Ilrnnkennew, At a renent meeting of the Catholic Total Ahxtlnence Union of 1'hlladolphla, Blshfl Prondergast made an address to tho dele gates, In which he said: "We have active mombrs, honorary members, and what might be called sym- athetlo members. For some reason, bard or you to understand, these will not work and give their names to your cause. This may be Inconsistent, and we may say that they are not doing all they could do, but one of the best elTocts of tho work of the total obstlnenco soeletlca is tho change they have brought about In public opinion regarding the use of intoxicating liquor. "It used to bo an evidence of crankiness lor one to be a total abstainer. Now you hav tho respect and sympnthy of all classes. I would remind yon that tho fathers of the Council of lliiltlmoro, Iu urg ing upon Catholics to unite In extirpating tho pestiferous evil of drunkenness, urged priests and people to do so for love of re ligion and for love of country, two of tho bighest motives to bo proposed to any right-minded mnu or woman. Drunken ness uot only destroys religion In Its vic tim, but brings disgrace on religion Itself. It was one of the objections Iu the past (nnd, unfortunntely, there Is somo of It left) urged against Catholics. It Is an evil against the country. It destroys tho eltl r.nn and the family. For lovo'cf religion and for love of country the Council of Bal timore urges priests aud people to unite In extirpating this evil." The Ilishop Insisted that the ruling mo tive for work must be supernatural the salvation of souls. The material good re sulting from total abstinence was not to bo despised, but the chief aim should be to preserve souls from sin. He spoke of tho great good that may bo aceompllshod by extra endeavor In the enrolment of Juve niles, and assured his hearers that ho would continue, when giving confirmation, to advise and urge the children to join the temperance societies In their parishes. Children's Societies. Tho formation of total abstinence socie ties among the Doys and girls is one of the host possible monns to combat tho vice of drunkenness. When the youthful minds are plastic, thero should be impressed up on them the necessity of sobriety in the battle of life. Lot there be formed In them the habit of abstinence from liquor. Teach them that la this, as In every other vice, there Is always a beginuiug a little Insid ious beginniug, a perfectly barmloss-look-tng beginning but In this begiuning, as in a disease germ, lurk all the terrible possi bilities, all the direful consequences of the drink habit. In many families the children see liquor usod ou every occasion, sometimes as a beverage, sometimes as a modlclne; and they nre Influenced, of course, by tho ox ample of their parents to look upon It as an Indispensable article In the domestic economy. It should be tho duty of temper ance workers to combat this Idea; It should be their earnest caro to spread the light In such dark places. Ilut the parents eunuot very easily bo readied, and even If thev could, It would bo almost an Impossibility to change their lifelong vi-ws ou the sub oct. The children, therefore, are tho ones to be sought after, and It Is with them, through the means of attractive societies, that tho work of temperance cau be best advanced. No Middle Ground. The drink trnlUc paralyzes every political, social, moral and religious condition which tolerates It. We cauuot compromise with this evil. Thero Is no middle ground. Its fresenco is death. For the Government to egnlize, sanction, or protect It Is to form a league with hell and destruction. The trallle should bo destroyed and as a first step the Government, both national nnd Htale, should dissolve Its partnership Iu the business and cast It adrift, without pro tection. Then outlaw It as a public enemy, the legitimate prey for destruction. lie hold the ravages of the fiend as It sweeps over the laud, consuming thousands of souls annually, causing desolation, despair and death to millions.

The warmth and light and genial uouipauionshlp of the saloons exert a very powerful influence In drawing young men Into them. It should be the aim of a tempernoee society to provide for the so cial sido of a man's nature.
