It produces a great number of shoots, growing twelve feet high, very thickly covered with leaves, yielding an abundance of forage. In the North, a single seed will make from twelve to fifteen stalks. It surpasses either corn or sorghum as a soiling or fodder plant. Planted three feet apart, it will cover the ground by autumn with only ordinary culture.

This is the variety now so extensively cultivated in the south for its fibre. The seed should be germinated by sowing it on cotton floating in a tub of lukewarm water, and transferring it to a bed well screened from the not sun. When the plants are four inches high, transplant to a field in rows four feet apart each way; and when plants are three feet high, turn them over and peg to the ground, after which cover them with earth, and they will start from every joint and in every direction, completely covering the field in a short time. Lb., §10; oz., § Peanut. The peanut thrives and produces best on a light, sandy, tolerably fertile soil, with a good clay sub- soil. It possesses a long tap-root, which extends deep into the earth, drawing thence the nutriment which is beyond the reach of many of our cultivated crops. The soil should be deep and mellow and well broken up, so as to be ready for planting soon after frosts are over. April is a suitable time. They may be planted in the pod, or shelled, two in a hill; it is best to drop about four in a hill on the level ground, the rows being laid off three and a half feet wide, and the hills two fee
