sufficiently to make them stand, four feet
clapboards. The need of these last will
be understood as we go on.
When some of the pods in some OF the
punches of fruit begin to Indicate rlpen-
ing by showing white streak alongthelr
sides, go between the rows with horse
and light, narrow sled, the sled having a
goods box on it, and with a sharp knife
cut off the ripening lunches, taking the
entire bunch. This will have to be re
peated about every third day through
all the harvest season, else many OF the
beans will pop out in the field and belost,
Draw the harvested punches to the
thrashing floor and spread them out on
the smooth open ground-ln a day or
two the sun will have done the thrashing.
All through the day, the beans will be
popping and swapping like popcorn In a
ro{er, and as some of them will fly of
wifi a great deal of force, you now see
the need of the clapboard surrounding
it is to keep the flying beans within
bounds.
When the swapping has ceased rake off
the stalks and run the remainder through
a common wheat fan-the fan will blow
off the hulls and dust, and leave the beans
ready for the sack and for market.
1t is usual to have shed near one side
of the thrashing floor to rake the beans
underin case Of rain The rain would not
particularly injure the beans, though it
would retard the ''thrashing" process.
This is all, though there is a word of
caution that might be added. Horses
will eat the dry hulls if let to them, and
the hulls will kill horses, but no horse
will ever touch the green pod or thegreen
plants. }. T. STEELE.

In clearing high pine land the plan diff
fers only in breaking the land with plows
the first year. Some farmers use coulters
and plow each way, running the burrows
foot or more apart, and then break up
and plant. All new land is planted to
cow peas and pumpkins first; cotton re-
quires such clean culture that ii the land
is very rough it is difficult to work it. 1t
is argued that leaving the roots which
are not torn up by the plow, to decay in
the soil, preserves the land better than
when they are grubbed out This neth=
cd is hard ON the mules and ploughmen,
but much less expensive than the old plan.
If man wants to clear from twenty to
forty acres of land and has but little
money, he would find the grubbing busi-
ness very exhaustive one. He could
make his bread and save his money while
the roots are rotting out of his way. In
about four years the roots are disposed
of, but the stumps remain indefinitely.
This roughness of the land in cultivation
is why harrows and other improved and
labor-saving implements are not in more
general use. 1t is true that the thorough
clearing and preparation of the land,
would, in a great measure, make the
work of cultivation easier, and might pay
in the end if one had the money to put on
his preparation, but when he has not, as
before stated, he can make good crops
for few years without it. His land will
not need fertilizers so soon, and that is
one item of no small Importance.

Manufacturing Cassava Starch.

Some time ago a correspondent of
Barlow paper asked if cassava starch
could not be made with some simple
homemade machinery. | turned the idea
over in my head till finally contrived a
revolving CRATER. The power is applied
by foot treadle, but | have succeeded in
disintegrating the root in sufficientquan-
tity to Judge of the possibilities of home
manufacture. | am satisfied the starch is
plentiful and the refuse better feed than
bran. [ shall not sell a foot of my seed
stalk.
The cassava root must be torn to small
pieces across the fibre. The shreds must
be soaked in cold water, and thepulp well
stirred till the water has extracted the
starch The pulp must he passed wet
through squeezers with screens under
meath to caJch the solids which may fall.
The liquid, after passing through fine
sieves wire is preferable to cloth = must
run into settling tanks, and, when clear,
poured off gently through a siphon from
the surface The sediment is starch with
surface layer or film ofpurple, which can
be washed off with a light spray with lit
tie waste of starch. AS soon as possible
the cake of starch from the bottom Ofthe
settling tanks must be subjected to some
drying process till it becomes friable-if
bleaching fumes so much the better. No
dust or dirt must reach the settling tanks.
The bran or screenings, when spread out
thinly on sacks, dry and can be barreled
without further trouble.
Now, can any of your readers who have
an acquaintance with apple grinding, or
with potato starch factories, call to mind
a machine capable of carrying out one or
more of the above processes? +? The cassava
cropis too heavy to movefa far. Ishouldlike
machinery which can be hauled round in
a one-horse wagon and can be attached
to any good portable horsepower. In
Florida nature will do much ofthe drying
if the trays of bran and starch can be
sheltered from dew at night.-G. Darbi-
shire in Fruit-GrOwer.

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Clearing Land.

Forty years ago every foot of land that
was cleared for cultivation in this section
of West Florida was grubbed, and the
roots piled and burned on the land with
the brush heaps. The grubbing process
has been abandoned long since, whether
with advantage or not am not prepared
to decide One thing is very certain, and
that is that the cost of clearingis greatly
reduced.
am induced to give the plan of clear
ing here from the fact that all writer's
for papers published in the orange belt
insist on Florida land being grubbed and
the trees and stumps removed. For an
orange grove this course is perhaps es-
sential, but for agricultural purposes
it is not. When hammock land is to be
cleared, with us, the bushes and small
trees are cut in the latter part of the
summer, or in the autumn, and permit
ted to lie as they fall on the ground. In
February or early i'll March the bushes,
small trees and limbs are heaped around
the large trees as high as they can be
piled, all over the ground to be treated.
When convenient dry time comes and
there is no wind, these brush heaps are
fired as Simultaneously as possible, SO
that the flames and heat will ascend. in
such volumes as will effectually kill the
trees without waiting for the slow process
Of girdling. When all the other crops are
finished planting, this new land is taken
in hand. Men go over it with axes, and,
keeping as well in line as they can, make
wo or three chops in the ground every
yhree feet, thus securing an opening sui
ticient to place three or four grains of
corn, which is covered by a good, vigOr-
GUS tramp of the foot. Enough seed
must be put in for the squirrels to have a
share. When the corn is several inches
high, it is gone over with hoes, the bushes
cut out anda little dirt put to the hill.
At this hoeing pumpkin or kershaw seeds
are planted Two or three times hoeing
is all the cultivation given.
The stalks, of course, are smaller, and
there is but little fodder, but the ears are
generally good. This first crop of corn
is considered almost fatal if fed to horses
and mules, causing them, it is thought,
to have staggers, but is not at all inju-
rious to anything else.
The second year the land is streaked off
with plow and planted. Some little
work in the way of scratching with the
plow is done, but the main cultivation is
with hoes, corn and peas being the crop.
| The roots are still too sound and strong
to be broken readily.
The third year theplows areput in and
the land broken, and may now be planted
in cotton, sugar cane or any other crop
desired, but it is usually the case that
the first three years are given to corn.
