Peanut Culture 
Will you tell me how to raise peanuts? 
I think they can be raised here in limited 
quantities if one understands the care of 
them. ,t, i„ x, 
Orleans, Mass, 
Peanuts are grown in gardens in this 
section (New York) on the lighter soils. 
The shucks are removed and the edible 
portion planted as one would plant beans. 
Because of the short season in this sec¬ 
tion growers are particular to put them 
on a south slope. They are cultivated 
and grown much as one grows beans in 
the garden. As a commercial proposition, 
a gardener in the North could not expect 
to compete with the Southern peanut 
growers, but the amateur gardener can- 
grow peanuts through the North bj

Suppose everybody would recognize the 
fact that there’s no gain but much loss in 
keeping up hostilities with the stomach 1 
Suppose the ancient aggravation of im¬ 
proper food on indignant digestive organs 
should be settled with guarantees of sen¬ 
sible diet and tranquil digestion! 
The saving would be beyond all possi¬ 
bility of counting. 
Yet millions go on declaring war on the 
stomach and accepting war in return— 
loading up on starchy, heavy, unbalanced 
and highly-seasoned food at breakfast or 
lunch—and wondering why comfort and 
happiness and efficiency are out of reach. 
Grape-Nuts makes a friend of the taste 
and an ally of the stomach. 
There’s a charm and satisfaction to this 
delicious food which prompts appetite to 
say, "‘There’s a meal!” and digestion to 
answer, “Thank goodness, here’s peace at 
last!” 
Grape-Nuts is the perfected nutriment 
of wheat and malted barley—sweet, crisp, 
and wonderfully nourishing. It digests 
quickly and provides the necessary ele¬ 
ments, including the vital mineral salts, 
for body, nerve and brain. 
Order Grape-Nuts from your grocer 
today, and let a delighted taste pass a 
treaty of peace along to an enthusiastic 
digestion and assimilation.

Storing Multiplier Onions 
Can yon tell me of any way to treat 
English Multiplier onions to prevent rot¬ 
ting? They rot so much during the Win¬ 
ter. O. E. H. 
Leslie, Mich. 
In order that onions should keep well 
when Stored they must be well ripened 
and thoroughly cured. Those that are 
immature, soft or “thick-necks” should 
never be placed in storage, but sold as 
soon as gathered for whatever price they 
will bring, flood storage onions will rat¬ 
tle almost like blocks of wood when 
poured from one crate to another. In 
order that the bulbs may remain bright 
and of attractive appearance they should 
not be allowed to lie exposed to the 
weather, but should be hauled and stored 
in open sheds just as soon ns they may 
safely be placed in one-bushel crates. 
After drying for several weeks the onions 
should be screened to remove all loose 
skins, and at this time any decaying 
bulbs can be taken out. 
The ideal storage should have plenty of 
ventilation, a fairly low temperature, yet 
safety from actual freezing and dryness. 
Onions always keep better when stored in 
small quantities, such as in crates. Any 
building having these requirements will 
answer, and there should be little trouble 
in keeping the crop, provided it is prop¬ 
erly ripened and cured. T. H. T.

Hens in the Dahlia Patch 
Tn reply to your request for informa¬ 
tion on Dahlia culture. I can sav from 
experience that hens will not let Dahlias 
grow in their yards. A few years ago I 
planted Dahlias in my heuyard, hoping 
the Dahlias would make nice shade for the 
liens in hot weather. .Tnst as soon as the 
Dahlias grew out. of the ground the hens 
devoured every green shoot. I also tried 
to get some raspberries to grow in the 
heuyard for the same purpose. The result 
was just the same as with the Dahlias. 
If one enu keep the hens away till the 
Dahlia stalks are quite tall and more ma¬ 
ture. the hens will run among Ilyin, en¬ 
joy the shade, and do no harm. Last 
year a neighbor’s hen with a brood of 
chickens came into my unfenced patch of 
Dahlias during the Summer, when the 
Dahlias were '1 or 3 ft. high. The whole 
flock stayed there much of the time the 
rest of the season. They did no harm. 
The did burrow around the roots sopio- 
whnt, but no roots were dug out or in¬ 
jured. F. r. MOULTON. 
Connecticut. 
T have grown Dahlias and Cannas 
where chickens were allowed to scratch 
and wallow very successfully. The 
chickens were not confined on the plot, 
but they spent 1<*N of their time there, 
because of the cultivated soil ami shade 
of the plants as they got large. The voung 
plants were protected by a small circle of 
wire netting or some pieces of boards laid 
around the hill, and held in place with 
small stakes pushed into the soil. If the 
chickens scratch out and expose the roots, 
the netting or hoard protection should be 
kept in place all Summer. Tly chickens 
are no help to the plants, nor the plants 
to the chickens, apparently, hut one is 
able to get some nice flowers from the 
chicken lot and provide some needed .shade 
for the chickens when the weather be¬ 
comes hot. W. E. DUCKWALL.
