Things Are Seldom What They Seem

Half dozen school boys were worry

quadratics. When they had fairly given

Concerning Cassava.

With regard to the new bread plant.
which has attracted so much attent ion
of late from the milling journals, a
newspaper in Florida has this to say I:
'The cassava thrives and produces
splendidly. The eatable portion of the
cassava is tho roots or tubers. When
the roots are grated or mixed in equal
proportion with flour, nice dishes can
be made of it, fit to be set before n
king. In custard, pudding, pies and
fritters it can not be beat, while mixed
with equal quantity of corn meal and
made into fritters it will deceive an old
oysterman. 1t is enormously productive,
producing many tons per acre. 1t is
fine feed for hogs, cattle, sheep and
poultry; hogs will quit corn for it, an d
thrive and grow fat on it. l candidly
believe there is no single article of food
on the globe that will produce moro to

of the season give shallow culture, SO as

them as we want them, or turn our hogs

horse was left hitched at Ed O'Conor's and

was great but the cart became detached from
the animal or the result might have been
worse. As it is, a badly disabled cart and
harness will serve as a remembrance of the
occurrence The horse was caught in an
adjoining field Our girls are all much in

The appearance of mai dog in this vicin-
ity has created not little CONSERVATION
among the inhabitants. The bear has been

neighborhood. Many are the keepers of
hounds that are allowed unlimited freedom
That the woods are infested with foxes is
the excuse for this. Such a course of con-
duct cannot be too strongly denounced, and
it certainly will not be longer tolerated. The
dog afflicted with bydrophobia was fox
hound that had been roaming over the
country for some time, and had probably
been on long chase. When you cannot go
out with your dogs, keep them at home, if
you do not want them treated to a charge OF
