be ploughed deeply and thoroughly harrowed. Seed pea- 
nuts should be carefully hulled to prevent breaking the 
skin on the kernels. Plant in rows 2% to 3 feet apart 
and 12 inches in the row. Cover about 2 inches. When 
matured, pull up and dry in the sun a few days. Vines 
are a valuable feed for horses, cattle and sheep. 1 Ib. 50e,
