Protecting Plants from Rabbits.

Editor Florida AgricuHurist:
I noticed a few weeks since i'm some pa
per, disremember Which-tbink itmigh t
have been the Rural New Yorker-a very
pretty way to protect ones vegetables
from rabbits.
The writer said he set g. few small steel
traps among the vegetables he desired to
protect, then stuck a stick on a Sian &
near it, to the end OF which was tied a
string that dangled a. potato about eight
inches above the traps. The rab bit
would raise up and grab the potato but
when he came down he would put his
paws in the trap. In this way he NOT
only soon cleared his garden of rabbits
but secured a supply of fresh meat. I
have not tried that plan, as, until recent
ly, had q very fine cat, q king among
cats, that kept the garden clear of the
pests and made himself many a hearty
meal. But happened to have some
neighbors who appa rentIy envied me the
possession OF that cat, and doubtless
thinking that priced my Joe' toohighly
they very kindly (?) shot him. Then the
rabbits attacked my garden. tried the
experiment of busting the outside rows,
ground and all, with blood and bone fer
tiIizer, and have been pleas ed to find that
it works like charm. Not a thing has
been troubled by the rabbits since

Southern Field Peas.

The Southern Live Stock journal pro-
poses cutting the overproduction of cot
ton by producing Southern field peas.
Following is the suggestion in full:
Tn the rush that is now on, stop long
enough to think of the great value of the
cow pea and the place it deserves. Give
it chance, half chance for it is better
than no chance at all. 1t is a friend that
should not be neglected. The system OF
rotation that does not provide place
or peas is faulty. From the actual
standpoint Of profit, profit to the land,
profit in the dairy, profit in the pork
production, there is no crop more profit
able to Southern farmers, and no crop
worse neglected. Accounted for in the
mad rush for cotton.
It would be better for the South, if
every other row (three feet wide) should
be put in peas. This done, one Year
with another, would amount to a small
reduction in cotton, but it would amount
to a big increase in the hog crop, which
is the backbone of cotton production. It
would at the same time renovate the
soil and produce savings in more ways
than this. The actual gain in the price
of cotton would more than offset the loss
in number Of bales.
The gain in hogs would be so much
clear profit.

FOR The FLORIDA AGRICULTURsT.
The Preparation Of Cassava Products.
The preparation Of The products of
Cassava are substantially as follows:
STARCH: Starch is the principal
element of the cassava root and is the
first product with which we have to deal,
and from this come on the others. The
root is rasped, or ground to a fine pulp
and washed through boiling or cheese
cloth, the fibre remaining on the cloth,
and the starch granules passing through !;
then the starch is washed once or twice
and allowed to settle, aIterward drain
ing off the liquid and drying not above
100 degrees.
Tapioca is made from the finest
parts OF the starch, first attained by
pressure Of the root and drying i'll q
moist state, at a temperature slightly
below the boiling point of water, or PIP
degrees.
Glucose is made from the starch by
treatment with sulphuric acid; dissolve
the starch in water, beat slightly and
pour in sulphuric acid; stir thoroughly
and after inversio g is complete the glu-
coae is poured through filter of powdered
marble dust to remove the excess of free
acid Glucose may also be made by use

One difficulty in securing these nuts is
the difficulty in removing the outer coating.
This may be largely overcome by, boring a
few holes with an auger through q piece of
plank, and driving the nuts through the
holes with a small-headed hammer. A
blacksmiths shoeing hammer is good. The
holes should range from one to two inches,
so that the different sizes may be put
through the hole that will remove the
shuck. By having the receptacle entirely
covered except the hole the shucks are
thus separated from the nuts.
There will be small portion of the shuck
left on where 1t came over the hole, but
when the nuts are dried little this is
easily removed If 1t does not drop off of it
self. The shucks may be brushed to one
side into box, so that everything is
cleaned up.
One great advantage of this is that the
hands are but slightly stained, and most
of 1T may be removed by washing in gaso-
line. One person with this costless arrange
ment can take the shucks from two bushels
in an hour 1t pays to wash the shucked
nuts while yet wet in a tub with n broom,
as they are then freed from the remnants
of the outer coating and look much nicer
when served. Many of the boys may have
already used such an arrangement but
many have not Try it and report how
it works.

CHICAGO, Oct 2S.-Unexpectedly heavy
Northwestern receipts to-day knocked out
the theory of a falling off in the wheat
movement. incidentally a bulge in the
price was also knocked out. 1t was also

firmly for a while. then eased off, prices

the closing was about Ac from inside fig
ures. Cables were stronger and higher,
the clearances for the week from both
coasts were 100000 bushels larger of wheat
and flour, the New York bank statement
was favorable, railroad stocks were higher
and general buoyant feeling pervaded all
Washington. However, the receipts in the
Northwest for the week were about 100000
bushels larger than the preceding week.
five Atlantic seaboard and gulf ports were
about 100000 bushels smaller than the pre-
ceding week. 1t was generally estimated
that the visible supply would show an in
crease of about 100000 bushels, against
an increase of 2,292,OoO bushels the CORE

Corn opened quite strong at 1sQAc adj
