Tlin yearly production of primula in
this country is about 4,000,(100 bushels
of 23 pounds, the tmlk of tlincrop being
produced in Virginia, Georgia, Tennes
see nnd North Carolina. Tlieso 4,000,
000 btishelH, while fully supplying the
present dnmaiiil of the United Rates,
const i lute but a small part of tho pea
nut crop of thn world, ns tho exporta
tion fiotil Africa and India in 1HU3
amounted to nearly -100,0(10,1)00 pounds,
of which 223,000,000 pounds went to
Marseilles for conversion into oil.
The lurgcht part of the American crop
is sold by street venders, but small
amounts are used by confectioners, choc
olate manufacturers ami for the manu
facture of oil. Peanut oil is used for
lubricating and soapmiiking and is a
good substitute for olivo oil for salads
and other culinary purposes and as a
substitute fur lard nnd mttolone and
butter iu cooking. Tho residue from oil
making, known us "peanut cuko," is a
highly valued cattle food in tho conn
tries of Europo and is also ground into
fine flour nnd used na human food. It
makos good soup, griddlo cukes, niuf
fius, etc., mid is 0110 of the most nutri
tive of foods. The vines, when driod,
becomo a vory nutritive hay, readily
eaten by stock, though requiring care in
the feeding lest it produce colio.
The present uses of tho peanut and its
products uro likely to bo greatly extend
ed and new channels of utility fonnd
for it, as has been tho caso with cotton
seed. With better methods of 1. Huge and
a larger yield per acre tho oost of pro
duction oonld be greatly lessened. Ao
cording to the eloveuth census, the aver
age yield of peanut in the United
States in 1889 was 17.0 bushols per
acre, tho average in Virginia being
about 20 and in Tennessee 83 bushels
per acre. This appears to be a very low
average, especially as official and semi
official flgnros give 60 or 60 bushels as
an averagoorop, and 100 bushols are not
an unoonimon yield.
While the peanut has beou onltivated
in the United States to a limited extent
for a number of years, it is on'- Mince
1806 that tho crop has become of pri
mary importance in the eastern section
of this country, whioh seems peculiarly
adapted to its prodnction. Between 1805
and 1 870 the rapid spread of the oultnre
of peanuts was phenomenal. Each year
doubled and at times iuoreased three
fold its crop over that of the preceding
year, so that this country, from boing a
large importer of west African nuts,
was soon able to supply the domestio
demand with the home raised article.
Virginia, North Carolina and Tennes
see produce a large part of the peanut
crop of the United States. Within the
lust few years this crop has ceased to be
as profitable as heretofore. The method
of culture the annual planting of nuts
on the same land, the luck of proper ro
tation of crops, the complete removal of
all vegetation from the laud and the fail
ure to replenish the soil by means of
fertilizers has been a great factor in
reducing the profits of the orop by re
ducing the ability of the land to pro
duce such crops aa were previously se
cured in that section, so that now in
stead of an average of 60 bushels per
acre, with frequent yields of over 100
bushels, the average in the peanut sec
tions ia not over 20 bnshels, while the
oost of cultivation has been but slightly
reduced.
As regards food valne, peanut kernels,
with an average of 29 per cent of pro
tein, 49 per cent of fat and 14 per oen.
of carbohydrates in the dry material,
take a high rank and should be classed
with suoh oouoentrated foods as aoja
beans, cotton seed, eta The vines are
shown by analysis to be superior to
timothy hay aa feeding stuff and ba
lightly inferior to elover bay.
The ground hulls are used to a con
siderable extent aa a coarse fodder in
European countries. Peanut meal, the
ground residue from oil extraction, is a
valuable feeding stuff highly appreciat
ed and extensively used in foreign conn-
tries. It contains, aa the averages of
over t,000 analyses show, about 63 per
cent of protein, 8 per cent of fat and 87
por oent of carbohydrates and is one of
the most concentrated feeding staffs
with whioh we are familiar, ranking
with cottonseed meal, linseed meal, eta,
and in some cases ahead of them.
In describing the uses of peanuts it ia
scarcely necessary to mora than refer to
the use. to which f ally three-fourths of
the Amerioan raised crop is devoted.
The nut U sorted in the factory into
four grades, the flrstJUMopn4. and, Ehird
being" sold to venders of the roasted pea
nut either directly or through jobbers,
while the fourth is sold to confectioners
to be nsed in tho making of "burnt
almonds, " peanut candy and the cheap
er grades of chocolates. Tho extent of
the nso of tho peanut by the American
people will be mora fully appreciated
when it is remembered that they use
4,000,000 bushels of lints yearly, nt a
cost to the consumers of f 1 0,000,000,
whioh do not form a part of the regnlar
articles of food, bnt are eaten at odd

Dominie and Itomlna.
Differences that seem very slight in
foreign or provincial words may be very
real, and it is important to know and to
note them. An eminent New York
scholar calls attention, in this line, to
an erroneous nse of the word "domiulo"
for "doiniue" by a recent contributor
to The Hunday School Times. He says :
"The terms 'dominie' aud 'domino'
both are plainly derived from the Lat
in, bnt do not mean the same thing.
The former is a Scottish usago for
schoolmaster only, aud is universally
known because of 'Dominie Sampson'
iu one of the Wavorloy novels. Tho lat
ter is a Hollundish, respectful desigut.
tion for a minister of the gospel only.

a reverent and, iudeed, uffcotiouate

known, although tho dictionaries point

tone, "Poor Cup, poor Cap." It wns

of pain, into her face, mid did not re

with his head on her hip, keeping up a

vicar, rising from his examination, "ns
far as I enn tell, there are no bones bro

easy. I'll stay and do it. Now, Jimmy,

Tliero was no hesitation in tho child's

"Woll, yos," said tho vicar, carried
away by the quick energy of the little
girl. And soon the fire was lit and the
water boiling. An old smock frock of

torn in pieces, and to the vicar's remark,
"What will Roger say?" she answered,
"We'll got him another. " And so Flor

USES OF OZONE.
Valuable Wot Artificially Aging Uqnor or
8 atoning Wood,
Ozone is now practically applied for
several purposes. Experiments with it
have shown that it will artificially age
brandy, whisky, swoet and hard wines
and liquors. Ozone will also improve
coffee by rendering harmless oily beans.
The aroma of tobacco is also considera
bly improved by the application of
ozona The latest application of it is for
rapid seasoning of wood for sounding
boards of musical instruments, which
for the purpose is left in a hermetically
closed, heutod room from 13 to 84
hours, ozonifled air being freely intro
duced into the room. It seems that this
process will harden ' the wood, increase
its resistance against the influence of
temperature and moisture and give it
considerably more aconstio or resound
ing quality.
Auothor recent application of ozonifled
air is that of the thickening of linseed
oil for tho manufacture of linoleum,
which by the old process took several
months. By the liberal use of ozone
linseed oil is cow thickened to the re
quired consistency within a few days.
Most remarkable, however, is the ad
vantage of employing ozone for bleach
ing linen, since the time employed ia
less than one-third of the bleaching proc
ess by sunlight, cot considering that
this latter ia dependent both upon the
season and the weather. The ozone proc
ess of bleaching renders the work abso
lutely independent of outside influences.
Ozone has also been found very valua
ble in ohemioal and technioal processes,
particularly in the production of pure
derivatives of starch, for Instance, solu
ble etaroh, dextrin, crystal gum, eta
Hero the ozone is instrumental in tak
ing away all the matter whioh causes
the dark color, bad odor and taste.

"I believo I got ns big a bug of bears'
In ns short a time ns uny man ever did,"
said Dootadlcy, the ex-sheriff and bear
hunter of Mendocino.
"A bug of bears?" exclaimed tho
young man who hud just been telling
about a bag of snipe he had once killed.
"What wero they little follows? What
is it yon call them kittens? No, cubs;
that's it."
"No, sir. They wero not kittens or
cubs. They wero beuis," declured Duo.
I think I piled up about n tun of bear
meat in about 80 seconds. I wax out
hunting in the southern part of Trinity
county about 17 or 18 years ago. We'
had killed about 40 deer and 8 panthers
and n bear or two in a couple of weeks,
nud wero pretty near ready lo break
camp when I thought I would go ont
nnd kill another doer to tako homo
fresh. It was late in the afternoon, and
I was crocping along iu the brush, when
suddenly I camo ont into a littlo open
ing. I stopped to seo if tliero was uny
sign of deer, and while I stood looking
abont u big black hear climbed up ou
the trunk of n big fir tree that, hud been
uprooted. Ho wasn't 80 yards awuy,
mid I pluggod him In the ear. Ho rolled
off tho log and down the hill towurd me,
but before I hud time to see if he was
dead another bear climbed np on that
same log to see what tbo row wns nbout.
I shot it in the head, nnd it rolled
down the same way tho other hud gone.
Up climbed a big 3 year-old to take its
placo, and after I had shot it two big
yearlings, ono after tho other, climbed
up on the lug to be shot
"Every ono rolled down the hill to
ward me and was kickiug and thrash
ing around not ten steps away. By that
timo I came to tho conclusion that I was
In a bear country, and I didn't lose any
time climbing a sapling. When I got
well braced up among the limbs, I sat
and pumped lead into that pi lo of boars.
Every time one kicked I gave him a
bullet, till they all stopped kicking. I
had five boars in one pile, and I think
they mnst have weighed over a ton al

The fern wus supposed to teed only on

those singular properties for which it

abont gathering of forn seed (which ia
looked upon us a magical herb) on the
