essary recognition Of The iirrepressi-

idea Of penalty as a corrective in

we'll doing is to be maintained,
then the idea of penalty must be
forever held up in threatening at

We believe that every good citi-

support to all efforts which seek
to create and enforce rules which
have for their purpose the promo

But there may come times when

The Cassava Plant.

F. E. Timmons of South Newport, Ca,
writes to the MORNING News as follows:
"a friend in Florida has sent me cuttings
and piece of the root of the Cassala plant
Qbeleve that is the name) and has failed to
tell me how to cultivate it, or to inform me
concerning its uses. VIII the MORNING
NEWS tell me something about it"
No doubt Mr. Timmons refers to the
cssava plant, which is cultivated in the
West Indies, South America and Africa,
and of which there are three species. One,
called the bitter cassava, contains poison
GUS milky juice, but all three are used for
meal. The root is well washed, then
scraped or grated. and, if it be of the pols-
onous species, it is pressed so as to become
free of the juice. Afterward it is dried in
the sun, and is mixed with water and is
baked like -four in thin cakes. Its nourish-
ing qualities consist in the starch of which
it principally composed. 1t makes coarse,
cheap bread

Popular Science.

A new invention is that of Platt B.
Vee of Rochester, N. Y, for stopping
leaks in vessels An outline of the device
is given as follows: The framework CON
sists of uutempered steel bars, one eighth
of an inch in thickness, 3 or inches wide
aud either or 8 feet long. In these bars
at equal aud short distances holes about
one-half inch in diameter are bored. These
bars, by means of bolts through the holes
can be shaped in almost any desired way.
Over the frame thus constructed tho inven-
tor has prepared to have 50 or heavier
felting ducking. This cloth is very strong
and will stand almost any strain. When a
vessel has been stove in or has sprung
leak the dimension and location of the hole
can be ascertained, and then aframe out of
those bars can be made to go over j..
When the frame has been made it will be
covered with canvas, and then let down tie
side OF tn vessel over the hole. The pres
sure of the water will suck the canvas
in the aperture, aad the bars will bend so
as to conform to the shape of the hull. This
will completely stop the leak, aud the lelk
and the close conformity to the ships 81 %
will serve to holi the aperatus in place.

thought. They possess themselves of inap-
plicable farm literature and study it. They
soon find that it is of no advantage to them,
SO they throw it aside and fan up their
prejudice against book farming" without
stopping to consider whence the production
eminated and for whom it was prepared.
No farmer who desires to be first-class
success, can afford to do without a good
farm paper, prepared for his immediate
locality il such paper be published. There
is no need Of its being strictly agricult-
ural paper, so called, if it gives an abund-
ance of well-written and perfectly adapted
agricultural reading. Some of our promi-
nent miscellaneous papers with carefully
conducted agricultural departments are
now the best farm papers we have. They
pay high for their literature, and thus get
the best that is going, because they are able
to do so.

How to Stop a Runaway Horse.

When you see a runaway coming, says
the Southern Cl.LtiUatOr, do not try to check
him by a rush from the opposite direction
or the side, for you viii be Immediately
knocked fiat by the collision, but instead
prepare yourself for short run with the
horse. Measure with your eye the distance
and start for the run while he is yet some
way off, perhaps ten feet in the case of fair
to medium runaways. You may depend
upon his keeping straight line, for really
frightened horse is half blind. and would
not veer for steam engine. He will go
straight ahead until he smashes into some
thing. So do you get close 70 the line on
which he is rushing, and, as he pa ses you,
grab the reins near the saddle. Gather the
reins frmly, and then, leaning backward as
you run, give them powerful yank. You
may be able to brace yourself somewhat as
you give this yak, half-sliding on your
feet The strong jrk on the bits tells the
horse that ne againhas n master, and pre-
pares him for the fial struggle. A step or
two forward after the first yank, do it
again. This is TIN finishing stroke. 1t
never fails when given by determined
man. The horse is q its launches. Keep
a firm pull on the rens till you grasp the
horse by the nostrils and hold him SO until
he is pacified.

Farm Literature.

There once existed strong prejudice
against books written on farming, says the
Indiana Farmer, and perhaps that preju-
dice still fingers in some localities, but as
society improves and farmers become more
intelligent they SEQ the subject in a more
reasonable light. Farming is essentially an
experimental art, and every farmer is en-
titled to the benefit of as wide q range of
experiments as he can command; nor do
the observations and experience of others
lose their value by being written. If
young farmer has neighbor who has long
oeen engaged in the business, and has made
farming success, he will be pleased to
spend, occasionally, a long winter evening
with such neighbor, and profit by his
years OF experience and accurate observa-
uon. But if this wisdom had been written
and printed so that thousands could profit
oyit' would it not be folly to reject it on
that account
'o art has made greater progress in its
methods than has farming; nor is this
progress to be credited entirely to our i'm
proved Implements and tools Much of it is
1ue 70 the increased intelligence Of farmers,
as class. The writer we'll remembers

A Destroyer of Oranges on the Tree.


A correspondent of the Florida Farmer
and Fruit Gr0tCer says; A new enemy to
the orange IS giving trouble to the orange
growers of this peninsula. 1t Is the old
time cotton bug, the insect that stains the
cotton in the boil which gives it yellowish
color and hence lessons its market value. A
few years ago this bug was known to exist
in two orange groves about seven miles
from here, in one of which the fruit was
nearly all destroyed by it, and it seemed to
have disappeared. A month ago, however,
it reappeared in great numbers in different
localities and it seemed to attack the orange
trees at once. AS no cotton has been raised
here 1r a number of years it is difficult to
account for its sudden appearance and in
such numbers.
My own trees have been thus far singularly
exempt from its ravages, although L have
trees in three different fields, while the in
sect exists in several surrounding groves. 1
have occasionally heretofore found few,
both young and old, among dead weeds, in
fence corners and where trash had accu-
mulated, but l always destroyed every bug
could find, knowing that they did no ap
parent good and might do evil, and to this
precaution and care may be due its absence
from my trees. From my limited observa-
ton judge that its habitat is not at all Pc
culiar.
AS already stated, it can live anywhere
and on anything and survives our light
frosts. have fonnd it mostly on what is
termed here the Spanish cocklebur, but l
have seen it also on the poisonous night
shade. Its modest taste seems to have
changed of late and it has found the rich
juice of the orange more palatable than the
Juice of the wild and noxious weeds. With
it's long proboscis it pierces the
rind of the orange and sucks its
sweets until satiated, and every
orange thus punctured falls to the ground
within three or four days and decays. l
have seen every orange from full tree on
the ground, the result of this voracious
enemy. Five hundred or more can be seen
on one tree, and dozen on one orange. The
loss to the grove mentioned above amount
ed to 5000.
The question is, is there limit to its
depredations, and can it be exterminated?
A brief history of its habits, with direc-
tions how to destroy it, would be very time
ly, and prevent much loss.

Feeding Pigs.

Prof. Hunt of Illinois College farm, sums
up as follows the results of his pig feeding
experiments:
l. 1t required 1880 pounds of skim milk
to produce pound of pork when fed with
cornmeal in ratio l. II to fattening hogs.
2 Skim milk could not be economically
fed to fattening hogs unless it was waste
product which could not be otherwise util-
lied.
s. 1t requires on an average ~ pounds
of shelled corn to produce l pound of pork
during an average period of four weeks, or
bushel produced 1873 pounds.
T. 1t requires l 3 pounds of corn meal to
produce l pound of pork, or l bushel of
corn made into meal and fed dry produced
12L pounds of pork.
s. When fed dry shelled corn is more
economical than corn meal to feed to fat
tening hogs.
g. 1t requires 1-3 pounds or one-quarter
of a bushel of ground oats to produce l
pound Of pork when fed with equal parts
by weight of corn meal.
z. One bushel of corn is worth nearly 8
bushels of oats as food for fattening hogs.
s. Corn fed pigs gained about AZ pounds
per week and ate about 81 pounds of corn
per 100 pounds of live weight.
9. The grain for the amount of food con-
sumed decreased during fattening.
TO- Pork was produced during the cold
weather, with corn at % cents a bushel, for
less than 3 cents per pound.
II. An insufficient food supply for two
weeks caused a very considerable loss in
feeding thereafter.
12 Indian corn is the most economical
pork producer during the winter months in
regions were extensively grown.
