as staple article of home consumption
while in Florida, at least, its manufacture
into starch, tapioca, and glucose ought to
become leading industry.
The cassava plant is closely related to the
riciuus or castor bean, which it resembles
in general appearance. It is a handsomer
plant, not having the coarse, rank aspect of
ricinus. 1t does not bear much seed, and it
is not propagated from seed, but from cut
tings of the larger stems.
Before it is time for frost the stems that
are half an inch or more in thickness should
be cut, laid in piles, and covered with earth.
1t is said, also, that the stems may be kept
where they will become quite dry without
having their vitality impaired. When
ready tor planting, in January, February,
or March, the stems are cut in pieces about
six inches long. These are planted four or
five feet apart and three or four inches
deep. The crop receives shallow culture
till sufficiently grown to shade the ground
and hold its own against weeds. 1t may be
left to grow for two years with advantage,
thus requiring a minimum amount of cul-
ture. The roots should be dug only as
wanted for use, as they decay soon after be-
ing exposed to the air. Cassava requires
mellow, well-drained land, and responds
readily to manuring. Florida's sand hills
seem to be specially adapted to this crop.
As to the quantity of cassava root that
may be obtained from an acre of ground,
no satisfactory estimates have as yet been
made. 1t must vary greatly under various
conditions. A single plant grown in Polk
county produced fifty pounds of roots, the
top measuring eight feet in hight and ten
feet in breadth. 1t had been highly ma
nured. A person who has given special at
tention to the cassava thinks that from ten
to fifty tons of roots of one years growth
ought to be obtained from an acre of land
according to its quality. This is little bet
ter than coujectures, but certainly the
plant yields enormously under favorable
conditions.
The uses to which cassava may be put
are almost too numerous to mention. By
manufacture it may be converted, with
scarcely any waste, into starch, tapioca and
glucose. In the tropics cassava -four is
used extensively for making large wafer
or cracker, which is quite palatable, and
keeps without injury for months. Florida
housewives have used it for making bread
puddings, custards, fritters, jellies, etc. {;
also as a vegetable it is used in all ways in
which Irish potatoes are used.
1t is as food for stock, however, that
cassava has excited most interest. 1t is
greatly relished by cattle, horses, hogs and
poultry, and seems to be very wholesome
article of food. The great tubers, some
times three or four feet in length, may be
taken from the ground at any time of the
year and used as food for man or beast.

Southern Truck Farming.

According to the Manufacturers Record
00,OO0 car loads of fruit and vegetables are
shipped northward from the south during
a season, having the average net value OF
of 800 car load, with transportation
charges of 81, 4,50O,OOO per annum. Florida
and Louisiana lead in earliness; advancing
northward the states secure a share of the
trade, beginning in February with early
vegetables, and followed by vegetables.
fruits and melons until June. The develop.
ment of this industry has been so rapid and
general that it has assumed great import
ance, not only to the south but to the coun-
try at large, as one Of the most significant
of number Of important movements to,
ward diversiflcation of industry, and ap-
plication of land to its most profitable uses.

irrigation. Trenches are dug three or four
feet wide and twenty-five inches deep, with
cement bottom, filed with shell, rock or
strips of wood through which the water
can percolate, and covered by grass, brush,
etc, into the earth to the trench. BY this
means constant supply OF moisture is Sc
cured for the growing vegetation; the
trenches are from nine to fifteen feet from
center 10 center, aud the cost is from $500
to 81 900 per acre. They also serve as drains
| in case of excessive moisture.
Another mode Of sub-irrigation and
drainage is by mailing together three rough
boards, In the form Of triangular box,
which is placed about twenty inches under
ground. The theory is that the leakage is
sufficient to keep the soil constantly moist,
the water being drawn to the surface by
capillary attraction. The supply is kept up
from flowing well, stream or pump. 9th
ers intend to use perforated pipes for the
| distribution. AS there is possibility that
the pipes would fill with sand, it is proposed
to surround them with a few inches of
muck to act as an absorbent and prevent
| the water from taking a direct course
downward, as is so common with Florida
soil, it having very little absorbent power.
On the coast splendid results have been Sc
cured by digging drains in the marshes
| along the rivers, thus eleveting the land to
| a sufficient hight above the water. On tide
water, dikes are built and closed at high
tide, but opened at low tide to allow the
surplus water to run off. In one case on the
peninsula, four miles north of Daytona,
some six acres Of marsh have been ditched,
the soil from the dicthes raising the level of
| the ground; dixie has been built along the
Halifax river least shore) and a windmill
and steam engine pump out the water.
The land was heavily lined and, as it was
too soft to b. plowed by horses or mule the
plowing was done by a single OK last sum
mer. BY another year it will doubtless be
firm enough for ordinary teams. Other
persons near there have also made successful
experiments In fact, the marsh mud is
shown by analysis to contain almost as
much plant food as ordinary stable manure.
1t is successfully used to fertilize the pine
lands near by. The primary requisites for
growing plants seem to be plenty Of fer
tility in soil, and an abundant supply of
moisture

Pruning Fruit Trees.

From the middle of February until the
buds swell freely is good time to prune
and plant fruit trees. Fruit trees could
have been planted any time since last fall
successfully. Planted last fall the roots of
fruit trees would have a fine start by
March. Every warm spell In winter in
this climate where the ground seldom
freezes an inch in depth and seldom remains
frozen more than a day or two, the roots of
trees start to grow, and the buds slightly
SWELL until tho warm suns and warm soil in
March start them frsaly for the season.
Iu setting out fruit trees, says the New
OrleansP Picdyune, give the roots plenty of
rich mellow earth, straighten all of the little
roots out. Never wad or double them, place
the earth on them carefully, press it down
hard, water when necessary. Raise the
earth little around the body of the tree to
keep the water from standing there in wet
weather.
Common sense is good commodity in
setting out fruit trees as in all other indus
tries. Set the tree out about as deep in
the earth as nature planted it; straighten
all of the roots SO that they will be located
in the earth about as they were
before they were transplanted; pro-
tect them from hard winds as ma
ture protects them; cut off the tops to cor
respond with the loss of root left in the
earth; cut peach trees so that stump is left
like broomstick, three or four feet high
LIE Conte pear trees the same; cut back other
fruit trees and ornamental trees freely.
if they need little help or protection. To
keep rabbits from gnawing the bark of
young fruit trees in winter, bind nswspa-
pers around them-two thicknesses-and
let them remain until spring, or rub butch
er's blood or any other kind of blood on the
bodies little above the ground, and on the
body above. If rabbits bark trees, mix
fresh COW dung with clay and plaster it on
the wounds and wrap with rags. They will
heal up nicely in the spring.

Sub-Irrigation in Florida.

Sherman Adams of Florida writes a
follows to the American AgricuLturist: IL
