The Value of Earth-nut Cake as a Feeding Material. 051 
manufacturers of cattle foods, the makers of soap, &c., on account 
of the large proportion of useful oil it contains. 
The earth-nut crop occupies annually about 30,000 acres of land 
in South India. It is grown both under irrigation and as a dry crop. 
The leaves of the plant are useful as fodder. Frequently the whole 
pods, with their contents, are crushed in the oil mill, when, of course, 
the cake made is much inferior. The foregoing remarks apply, 
however, to cake made from the so-called nuts only.
