A TRADE.
Select what You Can and What You Have
Taste For.

Select what You Can and What You Have
Taste For.
First of all make sure of what you
will be best fitted for in the long run
Remember that some kind of work
may be in demand now and in a few
years the demand may die out. Don't
choose a trade OF this sort if You can
help it. You may spend years learn
ing to make something 10y hand. and
as s0On as you have learned. a machine
may be invented that will make il
better. and thus throw you out of en-
ployment, unless you have learned n
great deal about the whole business
connected with your work.
.Agriu. think of where you want to
begin. Don't learn a trade that is
overrun with wOrkmcn in your own
State, unless you are willing TO go to
another State to work. In New York
State there is u machinist to every 800
Of population; while in Texas. Georgia
md Alabama there is only one ma
chinist to every 1900 people. Iowa
has 1900 carpenters al ~joiners;
while Georgia has less than 5000.
Choose what you can and what you
have a taste for. II you are a weak
ling. don't try to be a blacksmith:
don't try to be a painter if you are
color blind. II you are fond of read
ing that Is a good reason TO become a
printer. provided there is no other
good reason against it. If you have
q natural mechanical turn and invent
i've genius. you may make a good ma
chinist- Resolve to make yourself a
thorough master of your trade and all
the machinery used in and about it.
Then don't be afraid of learning too
much. You will be a better painter
for being able to handle the saw: a
better joiner for being able to use a
brush; q better machinist by acquiring
the use Of the pencil.
Be willing TO plod and work hard for
a time, for the sake of learning your
business thoroughly. II you start as a
carpenter have in mind to become a
builder; il you start as n machinist,
expect to become a manufacturer: if
you begin as a type-setter aim at be-
coming q printer and publisher. Or.
il you are willing to he always a work
man employed by some one else. make
up your mind to become so Very ex-
pert in your line as TO command a
high price.-Interior.

Dangerous Food Preservatives.

The French Committee on Hygiene
has lately brought the dangerous ma
ture OF some food p~reservatives into
prominence. 1t has been well estab-
lished that digestion is only a form Of
decomposition produced by certain
minute organisms which also produce
the other form OF decomposition which
we call decay. 1t must be therefore
evident that any substance which has
the power OF arrcsting decay may
seriously interfere with the normal
process Of digestion Hence. it is i'm
portant that in investigating the char.
acter Of q food pr~eservative We should
look further than As to its absolute
freedom from what we call poisonous
properties. On these principles tho
USE OF benzoic acid has been prohibited
il France. For III. same reasons sali-
cylic and boric acids and the new anti
septic hydronaphtol have been prohib-
tied. The greatest caution should be
exercised in the employment o.! food
preservatives. and until absolute safe
" can be guaranteed i: would be -
we'll to stick to the old process OF
PasteurizinS. which consists simply In
expoeing food to such n temperature
as will destroy germs ST. Louis

THE failure OF the state legislature
to make an appropriation for the erec-
ton of the proposed Alamo monument
is most unfortunate thing for that
enterprise. 1t will be in effect to say
to the state, and particularly to the
people OF other states, that the project
does not meet with theapproval of the
state legislature and, by parity of rea-
son, is not of such a character as to
commend itself to the confidence and
contributions of the periodically in
clined either at home or abroad. This
thing is what the state legislature has
done and the consequences of the do
ing remain with them. Such actions
of the part of legislatures make men
of sense to wonder and weep. Weep
for the pitiful pretenses of humanity
which claim manhood quality, Won
der whether it were possible to find
parallel to this action of the Texas
state legislature anywhere in the an
nails of such bodies.

any special theory about it; and the ad--
vantages of it are SO manifest that it will
not be abandoned. say it's advantages
are manifest, because even on so narrow
bed as one of only six feet, have al
ways observed that the outside row of
plants was the most thrifty-throw out
the earliest runners, the greatest number
of them, the largest leaves, and the most
and finest berries. Some argue that this
is caused by the fertilizer teaching away
from the middle-which is usually slight
ly rounded up-and gradually working
away toward the edges of the bed. [
cannot accept this view; if the fertilizer
washed down so far, it would wash a lit
tie further over the edge and into the
ditch. My view is that the middle of the
bed serves as a sponge, to distribute wa
ter slowly to theedges by percolation un-
derground, SO that the outside row re-
ceives water longest and last, and at the
same time has the advantage of the side
of the bed for the reception of warmth,
sunlight and air. Some have tried the
one-row beds, making ridges like those
used for most potatoes, not quite so large
usually but these have proven failure.
The plants in these received an excess of
warmth and sunlight, and had no sponge,
in the shape of bed slOping back, to
hold reserve of water, and supply them
with moisture by slow percolation."

Saving Cassava Seed.
Midland. Polk County, Fla.

The time is close at hand when the
stalks of the cassava must be saved for
planting next spring. Cnt the most
thrifty stalks just before the first frost
tie them in easily handled bundles, wita-
cut removing leaves or branches and put
them in a loft where they will not freeze
or get wet. Do not be so foolish as to
bury them. They are as easily saved as
corn stalks. / speak from successful expe-
rience. Leave two or three buds on the
part left in the ground and cover it with
dirt enough to protect it from the frost.
When you want a root of cassava go and
dig it; those not dug will sprout and grow
to greater size next year. By adopting
this plan you will always have cassava
ready to dig; otherwise it will soon spoil.
Many more people would grow cassava
than now do did they know that the seed
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-11-27

could be saved so easily. 1t is a sure
way, and is it not much simpler and bet
ter than the old bothersome and uncer-
tain custom of burying the stalks and
having them rot in the ground or sprout
before the time for planting? If frost
kills the tops of the cassava left standing,
cut at once and protect the root with dirt
as directed SHERMAN ADAMS.

void of moss. Even the immediate mar
gins around these lakes show compara-
lively little moss. South of my place, be-
tween it and Trout Lake, and surround
ing it, the timber, though dense and tall,
has no moss at all, but on the east OF the
lake there is an abundance of moss on the
timber near the margin, mostly on the
the pines. Now, this is feature l would
like explained On the east side of Lake
Clinch there is moss locality in a narrow
strip on the margin, and | am in it's cen
tre This locality the moss experts in the
distance would decide was very damp and
dangerous for malaria, chills and fever,
butmy family experience for three years
past, st,undisputably contradictsit. Matches
exposed on our tables, desks and shelves
between open doors and windows for
three years, day and night, have never
failed to burn Does this Indicate a damp
atmosphere? Still long moss grows the
year round on the trees in my yard.
And ''if chills and fever have shot at us,
they have wasted theirpowder and lead. "
Poor things, they are too weak to climb
the sand-hills around Lake Clinch.
Now, Mr.. Editor, the man who is SO
ready to condemn the long moss lOcali-
ties on account of malaria, chills and
fever is usually too bull-headed and full
of prejudice to listen to the sound
est of reasoning, and if experience never
crosses his path to convince him of his er
ror, le will ''perishin in his iniquity." :" There
are hundreds of people thousands of miles
from Florida whose minds are abused by
this alse idea, and who know no more of
she 'ue facts OF the case than / know of
the best localities in Africa for malaria
and dangerous diseases.
One of my sons, conversing with me to-
day on this subject, said: "Well, it looks
strange that long moss and it's localities
should be sickly"
About three years ago Walton Gardener
and [ took a trip right into the
awamps among the moss, and we often
had TO pile up moss two feet high to sleep
above the water, and while we were gone
gained nine pounds in weight and was
almost too sick to travel in the boat
when we started. Walton also improved
every day.
We do have chills here, but they are
minus fevers, and we only have them in
the winter when the wind sweeps across
Lake Clinch from the northwest; but these
ch;lls are light and soon over. we'll re-
member that when they we're at the top
round last winter our thermometer stood
at $50, and a wild grape vine by my wire
trellis grew two inches, by actual meas
urement, in forty eight hours, and then
at the chilIiest hours we had the pleasure
of looking at our trumpet lilies. Let peo
pie 1000 miles north draw contrast.
