As some Of the dealers in the Home Sana,

could sell it as medicine, and free from .
liquor occupation tax, we beg to state that in
the trial of case recently decided in the
county court ofEllis county, at Waxahaehie,
where Mr.. Benjamin White was presented
Tor selling, in violation of ths local option
law, the defense established that the Home
5anative Cordial was compound tincture

It without paving occupation liquor tax.

cHurAs AS A smALI-rARm CROP.

The chufa was first introduced into our
country twenty-six years ago, the tubers
having been imported from Spain by the
Agricultural Department and distributed
quite extensively but so little was known
of the nature of this plant by those who
received tubers that the greater part of the
stock was lost through exposure to frosts
in winter. And we will observe here that
the chufa (cyperus esculentus), although
closely allied to the coco or nut grass ICY
perus HYDRA of the Southern States, is a
far more delicate plant, and soon perishes
if exposed to frost or any considerable
amount of moisture when in its dormant
state consequently there need be no fear
of its ever becoming pest like its near
relative, the coco grass of the Southern
States. The chufa is a low-g growing grass
like plant belonging to the sedge family,
and consisting of small rush-like herbs,
usually called grasses, although they are
quite distinct from the true gramine@.
The leaves are slender, erect and about
eighteen inches long, rather coarse and
woody, but while young and in a succu-
lent condition are
EATEN BY CATTLE.
They multiply by offsets; starting from
the tubers planted, roots shoot out in all
directions from these leaves push upward,
and at the base of each tuber is formed.
The increase is SO rapid that from one tu-
Der planted in spring five hundred to a
thousand or more may be gathered in au-
tumn. The yield is immense. / have dug

one square rod of ground. The tubers lie

deeper than three inches, and clump may

| like root. The tubers are about one inch
long and half an inch in diameter, oval
and slightly rough, and the skin is of a
light yellow color. The flesh is very white
and firm, but brittle, containing sweet,
milky juice, somewhat resembling the
chestnut in taste Tubers shrivel consid.

METHOD OF CULTIVATION.
| Chufas succeed best in light, rather dry
soils, and even grow luxuriantly in poor
sandy land but the yield will be greater
if the soil is rich and in good condition
generally. The tubers should be planted
| In drills about three feet apart, dropping
one every eighteen inches or less In the
row, and covering them about an inch deep
