Prolific CassaVa,

A writer to the Southern Cultiyato1
says: Il have been growing and feed
ing cassava for nine years, and am more
impressed now than ever that there is
no root crop grown in this country at
all comparable to it. Potatoes are by
the southern farmer rightly considered
root crop OF large value, but the cas-
sava root is not only of more value, but
on the same quality of ground it will
produce three times as much with one
half the labor of growing. Ii this is
true, and the potato crop is called an ex-
celleDt one, what adjective would you
attach to the cassava?
planted in March, 1891, two acres of
cassava Oh unfeitilized high land. On
an adjoining plat, moderately fortified,
| planted three quarters of an acre of
sweet potatoes. In the fall of the same
year harvested 100 bushels of sweet
potatoes per acre, and 300 bushels of
cassava per acre. The cassaga on un-
fertilized land made three times as
much as the sweet potatoes. Cassava
planted in March is ready to feed by the
first of October. 1t will keep perfectly
sound i'll the ground until the COM
mencement of hot weather in the follow
May. If one desires to feed it the en-
tire year, the stub of the stalk must be
protected from sprouting. The part so
protected will sprout the following
spring, and the roots, instead of rOtting
on the approach of winter, put on new
prnwth

Grandmother's Advice.

Who is better fitted to give good ad-
vice than the dear old grandmother,
who remembers her own mistakes and
wants to save the children from learn
ing by sad experience, as she did ? Re-
garding her rules grandmother says:
One is:
Always look at the person you speak
to. When you are addressed, look
straight at the person who speaks to
you. Do not forget this.
Another is:
Speak your words plainly; do not
mutter or humble. If words are worth
saying, they are worth pronouncing dis
tinctly and clearly.
A third is:
Do not say disagreeable things. If
you have nothing pleasant to say keep
silent.
A fourth Island o children, rememb-
or it all your lives:
Think three times before you speak
once.
Have you something to do that you
fnd hard aud would prefer not to do ?
Then listen to wise old grandmother.
Do the hard thing first and get it over
with. 1t you have doue wrong go aud
confess it. 1t the garden is to bo weed
ed, weed it first and play afterward. Do
the thing you don't like to do FIRST, and
then, with clear conscience, try the
rest,
Read your home newspaper and-pay
for it.

The new Cunard steamer, the Cam
pania, just arrived in New York, is said
to be the largest and fastest vessel now
ahoat, but she will soon be eclipsed by

feet length, 6S feet beam and $4,000
horse power. She will therefore, be s
feet longer than the Great Eastern, but
Is feet less in breadth. The horse pow
er of the Great Eastern's engines, how
ever, was less than 5000. While the
Teutonic, Majestic, New York and Paris
have accomplished an average rate of
30 knots across the Atlantic, the Cam
pania and the Lucania are expected to
do %; but at one bound tue Gigantic is
to run at speed of ~ knots an hour Oh

capsd from Joliet prison three or four

that is, most of our readers somehow
jumped to the conclusion that he was
the person referred to. Mr.. Harris has
been in business here for the last year
and half, and lie has not advertised in
The Kicker because lie did not believe
that advertising pays. He has not been
u subscriber because he was to busy to
read q paper. Yesterday after mature
deliberation, he came to the conclusion
that he had been wrong in bis theory
about advertising, and we called atten-
tion to his handsomely displayed ad on
our third page. which will run weekly
ore year. He also made a slight change
in his business which will give three
