peanut sandwiches may be prepared without the addition of butter, and peanut bread does not need shortening, as the peanut furnishes a sufficient quantity of fat in both instances. Peanuts contain raw starch and therefore must be cooked before they are disgestible. They can be parched as roasted pea- nuts, or they may be prepared as are the peas and beans. The same pleasant flavor does not develop, however, when they are cooked in the latter way. Peanuts are a highly concentrated food and should be thoroughly broken up before reaching the stomach. This may be accomplished by thorough mastication, or by chopping or grinding. When a food substance reaches the stomach in a state of fine division, it is more quickly digested and more thoroughly utilized. References Farmers' Bvlletin: ''The Peanut." No. 431.

How do you account for this? How would you roast the peanuts? How are the peanuts ground or crushed? The following is a simple method of making peanut butter: The peanuts should be roasted before or after shelling, but in either case the oven should be only moderately hot, and the peanuts stirred frequently. After roasting, rub off the skins. In grinding use the finest plate on the grinder, and screw up the tension until the crank is quite hard to turn. If the pulp is too coarse after one grinding, it may be run through a second 110 Bulletin of the University of Texas time. It will not be necessary to add anything but a little salt to the butter, but if desired the butter may be thinned by the addition of a little olive oil or peanut oil. The peanut butter made this way will, if kept in a cool place, keep several weeks, but will not keep indefinitely. There are on the market grind- ers made especially for preparing peanut butter. These grind- ers do not crush so many of the oil cells in the peanut, and the butter keeps fresh a longer time. Related Work. Agriculture: Raise peanuts in the school garden.
