ago there was an enquiry in your
columns about mulching sweet pota-
toes, l have tried that, and the pro
duct was mostly long strings unfit
for food. The sweet potato revels
in soil warmed by the ardent beams
of a tropical sun. Irish potatoes,
however, require conditions Just the
reverse, and litter thrown among
them greatly helps the development
of the tubers. Some people think
mulching invites frost, but at the
North strawberries and other plants
are often covered with straw and
fallen leaves to keep them from treez-
ing out. and in Florida | have carried
large tomato vines safely through
cold snap, when the ground stitfened
and thin ice formed, by simply throw
ing small forkful of dry, piny.woods
grass upon each plant. Gould you
inform us whether cassareepe sauce
may be made from the juice of the
sweet cassavs, so generally raised in
Florida? If so, this is an important
addition to the list of products OF
that plant, for this sauce is highly
esteemed by epicures, and has some
times been sold at very extravagant
price. AS many of your readers
know little or nothing of the cassa-
reepe, or its qualities, l add the
following extract from Bro,onS
Guiana: ''The Indian woman who
heads household, has charge of the
earthenware pepper pot, the contents
OF which consist of red peppers boiled
with cassareepe and water into sort
of fiery soup. Into this they dip
their cassava bread before eating it,
and thus obtain a highly.favored
relish. Sometimes fish or game is
boiled with the peppers. Cassareepe
is made from the poisonous juice of
the (bitter) cassava root, boiled down
to the consistence of treacle and has
the property of preserving animal
substances boiled in it for a length Of
time, besides giving them very
pleasant fay9l; lid Al. 1. " ,.esast g stesUs;s u :

The juice of the sweet cassava will
make cassareepe, Some of the West
Indian epicures have told us that
they preferred it to that made from
the bitter cassava.-- ED.

Owls and Their Uses.

The utility of the common owl as
destroyer OF vermin is scarcely
likely to be called in question at the
present day. A remarkable instance
in point is recorded by Herr Grote in
the Journal of the Hanover Agricul-
tural Society. Last year this gentle
man discovered in his garden an
OWLS nest built in a hollow tree.
When first observed it contained
four eggs and the bodies of seven
field mice. On the following day six
OF the mice had been devoured and
eight fresh ones introduced in their
place. On the third day six more
mice were added to the stock, and
the carcasses of seven more were
found in a contiguous hollow tree.
Day after day the same thing was
observed, fresh supply of mice be-
ing constantly introduced. From
circumstances which are not specif-
cally mentioned, Herr Grote was
only able to continue his observation
tor period of fourteen days, but
within this time the number of mice
found In and around the nest was
ascertained to be more than two
hundred, and in addition to these the
wing cases of large number of dung
beetles (Sc0r0bOeatS stercorarieSS) were
found in the same place. In order
to avoid any source of possible error
In his computation, the observer took
the precaution of marking each days
supply of mice when first noticed, so
as to make quite sure that none of
the bodies should be counted twice.

Editors Florida Ag'icultarist.
By your invitation to all subscrib-
ers to write descriptive communica-
tions OF their own locality, l am in
duced to pen you local article I
will, however, say as prelude, that
when one who has been in the State
several years and by personal obser-
vation is acquainted with the greater
portion Of the peninsula, reads these
highlycolored articles emenating
from land agents, putting up special
locations, giving high sounding and
fancy names to any place wherein
they are interested, it almost forces
one who has any regard for the truth,
to forgo the idea Of writing anything
descriptive of locations. [ believe
that communication written for the
benefit OF those seeking homes, should
be candid and truthful in everv re-
spect; yet, to read some of the COM
munications and pamphlets that are
published and scattered over the
North, oneis forced to believe that
the authors regard these advertising
lodges, simply as patent medicine
man does his nostrums if a man
takes his medicine he dies, and 'dead
men tell no tales" and if some one
hunting home selects one of these
fancy named locations and settles, he
may find Jordan hard road to
travel" and will have to make a
mighty long shot for an orange
grove, yet that makes no difference
to the settler, besides, the party buy
ing thinks every one else has as hard
a time as he has, consequently is
happy, as he has of course, the stu
alton that is peculiarly adapted to
fruit-growing, soil, climate, ETC., and
no frost in hundred miles of him,
and goes ahead digging palmetto
roots, or punching holes through
hard-pan to let the orange roots go
IN the direction of China. | was told
on my first visit to Florida, by
Jacksonville land agent, that could
only get into the central portion of
the peninsula by getting pony and
following Indian trails; that the
country was pretty much under
water, when it is known to all per-
sons acquainted with the topography
of the peninsula Florida, that the
backbone ridge extending down and
through the central and so-called
orange belt, contains the most ,ele-
vated land in the peninsula. The
water rises in lakes and springs on
this high table-land and empty into
both the Gulf and Atlantic, running
off this natural water shed both east
and west l found the country re-
ferred to by this land agent, as high,
dry rolling section of the State and
came to the conclusion that this
agent was greater man than the
