To Farmers And Sportsmen.
. As the season for quail shooting end
ed on Jan. 1, the attention of farmers
and hunters is directed to the fact that
game birds will need protection in the
event of a severe winter. You are ear
nestly requested to assist in this matter
during the periods when the ground is
covered by snow and sleet by feeding
flocks that you know use on your land.
No matter how cold the weather may be
birds will not freeze so long as they can
get plenty to eat, and therefore it be
hooves all interested in the propagation
ofqual to see that this protection is
given them. J. IX Christopher, Fish
and Game Warden
School Lunches.
Last winter school lunches were pre
pared and served by several of the good
women of Richmond for some 40 needy
school children. This work was carried
on for more than three months by means
of tontribusions solicited from time to
time, at the sacrifice of much time by
those who had the work in charge.
We are confident that many people
will want to contribute to this fund this
winter again. However, no personal so
licitation will be . made. The newspa
pers of the city will accept voluntary
contributions and publish from week to
week the names of contributors and the
amounts given. These funds will be
turned over to a committee from the
Woman's Club, which will have charge
of all receipts and expenditures:
There are, this winter, about the same
number of needy children to be fed. By
furnishing lunches to them we can dou
ble the attendance among them, as was
done last year, class work will be great
ly improved and real suffering relieved.
- Very Resptfully,
D. W. Bridges,
Supt. City Schools.
Interesting Session of City
Council.
One of the most interesting meetings
of the city councij in recent months was
held at City Hall Thursday night, the
mayor and all members being present
-A contract for macadam for the next
two e;irs was awarded P. X. Manahan
Bonds of the city officials were sub
mitted and approved.
A question of much interest to the
council and one which has been agitat
ed for some time, is the advisability of
erecting a city jail and workhouse. This
matter will be seriously considered by
this body during the next few months
and tax payers of Richmond should con
fer or meet with the council and assist
it with their advice as to the best course
to pursue in the matter.
Another question of great importance
before the body was the construction of
brick streets from the postoffice to the
L. & X, depot and around the public
square. The cost of such streets will
amount to $30,000 or $40,000, and it was
suggested that the tax payers of the city
pay one-third of this amount and the
property owners along the proposed
route pay the remaining two thirds.
This question should interest every cit
izen of Richmond, as it will undoubted
ly be more economical in the long run
to construct brick streets.
The advisability of purchasing an au
tomobile fire apparatus was also discuss
ed, as was the question of a "white way'
for Main street.
The monthly accounts were audited
and ordered paid.

Few extra good Bourbon Red Turkey
Hogs Fattened on Peanuts.
Farm and Fireside prints in its cur
rent issue an inferesting article entitled
Peanut Culture in Oklahoma," sho
ing how Spanish peanuts can be grown
in various parts of this country and us
ed as feed for hogs. Finishing the hoes
for market or getting them ready for
butchering for home consumption has
put the farmers of Oklahoma and in the
semi-arid regions of the Southwest to a
severe test during the pst three years.
Owing to dry weather and hot winds the
grain crop during the past season was
nearly a failure in those parts of the
country. Hog raisers, finding that they
could no longer depend on the grain
crop to finish their pork, found that
Spanish peanuts met the requirements.
The article continues as follows:
The peanut is one of the best drouth-
resisting crops that can be raised, in
fact it will stop growiDg and wait for
the rain. .The plants will, wilt under
the sun of the day, but will be fresh and
green the next morning It is very pro
ductive and will do well on most any
kind of soil, but is well adapted to a
light, sandy loam having a clay sub
soil.
In the summer of 1911 a farmer plant
ed four acres of peanuts and, although
not judrop of rain fell for 45 days, this
crop continued to grow, and 40 busheis
per acre were harvested. In 1912, on
the same kind of land and with half the
cultivation corn, he gathered 75 bush
els of peanuts and20 bushels of corn per
acre.
The most profitable way of raising
peanuts is to plant the crop, and after
the nuts, are filled and matured, cut the
hay and cure like clover and let the
hos harvest the nuts.
Last year the writer had a small plot
of peanuts, a little less than an acre. On
Sept. 15 the' vines were cut and Six hogs,
averaging 90 pounds, were turned on it
to harvest the nuts. On Nov. 15 they
were again weighed and showed a gain
of 750 pounds, equivalent to $53 at the
price hogs were then selling for. They
were then taken off the peanuts and fed
Kaffir corn for two weeks and were rea
dy for market.
While bigger gains and more profit
can be secured by feeding peanuts in
this than in any other way, peanuts
alone will not put the hogs" In the best
shape for market, as the flesh will be
soft, and some grain feeding for a week
or ten days is advisable.
The Words That Won.
In London one of the weekly papers
offered a prize for the best list of strong
words to the number of ten. The an
nouncement specified that but ten words
would be considered from any one per
son and a committee of v literary men
would select from the nnmbers offered
the ten strongest words in the English
language.
These are the words that won: Hate,
blood, hungry, dawn, coming, gone,
love, dead, alone, forever.
