Cultivation of the Cassava.

] receive many letters from persons
who are totally unacquainted with the
nature of the plant.
For the benefit of such it is necessary
tosay, in the begianiug, that the cassava
plant is a bush from one to twelve feet in
height, from which radiate edible, feshy
tubers. The number of tubers averag-
ing say seven, from one to seven feet in
length; the tubers from one stalk weigh
ing, under fair fertilization and culture,

ductive; it has a remarkable immunity
from drouth, food, and diseases; it is
easy to harvest, easy to cultivate. 1t

growing season, thereby cleansing the
ground OF noxious plants. The pro-
ducts obtained from feeding it are of a
most superior quality.

an unprecedented drouth, and obtained

until June diminished It's growth.
The pork made from feeding it is solid,
firm as that OF corn-fed hogs.
1t produces agood flow ofrich milk, and
firm, golden butter. Those who have

fattened on it.
One acre of cassava will raise and fat
ten ten hogs; another acre will feed three
mich COWS through the entire year. An
acre of good cassava will make $50 bush
els.
AS the plant occupies the whole grow
ing season, it should be planted early,
even before danger of frost is over, that
it may have the benefit of as long a
growing season as possible. A months
difference in the growing season will
make large difference in the yield. II
late frost in the spring cuts it down it
will not injure it.
Many have difficulty in obtaining a
stand, and think that almost the sole
tro uble is in selecting the seed cane.
When you pull the seed cane from
the bank for the purpose of planting.
you will generally find that the immature
portions of each stalk consisting of more
than one half have died. You will cut off
this dead portion thinking that you have
remaining sound cane. But the unsound
cane extends considerably beyond the
apoint to which your eye tells you that it
has died. Cut until the pith is perfectly
clean, and the odor is sweet, not sour.

Rough Handling Of Oranges.

Anent the condition of the Ethelwold's
cargo OF Florida oranges, which report
has it arrived in Liverpool in poor con-
dition from insufficient ventilation, Ma
jor Rocks, of Fruitland Park, takes issue
and says it was not in the fault of the
steamer, but in the rough handling Of
the fruit by the railroad companies be-
fore it was packed in the vessel.
In this lot there were 1000 distinct
and separate consignments, and the gal
liant Major says that it is no surprise to
him that the fruit came out OF the vessel
in England in bad order, for he saw the
railroad employees handle quite num-
Der of these consignments, and the rough
manner in which they pitched and tossed
the boxes into the cars regardless OF con-
sequences, certainly bruised the fruit, re-
sultiug in it's decay and unstable condi-
ton. He says this rough handling is a
serious condition of things to the fruit

thing over the cane that will prevent the
rains getting in. In harvesting, the
whole hill can be lifted out of the ground
by hand.
Cassava, like other root crops. is def.
Gent in the heterogeneous element which
produces bone and muscle. Cotton seed
meal has such an excess of this particu
lar element, that only small portion OF
it is utilized when fed alone.
Hence. very small quantity of cot
ton seed meal will fully supply the def
cheney in a large quantity of cassava.
Cassava can be verv cheaply produced !;
cotton seed meal can be bought for much
less than it's worth. Hence, the mixture
of the two is a perfect ration at a very
low cost. Cows fed upon this ration will
refuse either one of the mgr dents fed
alone-in fact, if there is small quantity
in the trough unmixed they will refuse it..
This, and the result in quality and guam
tity of milk and butter, is the best evil
dence of the value of the above food.
Cassava alone makes fine pork, but the
addition of alittle cotton seed meal would
make quicker growth and larger frame,
and a cheaper hog. Always feed hogs a
little less cassava than they will clean up.
Feed salt freely. Do not feed in close
pen, but let them have the variety that
will be obtained in woods lot. DO not
feed long in oneplace, as thereof quickly
sours.
Cassava must he pulled as it is used, as
it will not keep more than ten days in
cool weather, nor more than three days
in warm weather. If the stubble has been
allowed to freeze, the root will begin to
rot in the ground at the approach of
warm weather, in April or May. One is
most in need of food for stock during the
spring and summer, hence it becomes a
matter OF great Importance to preserve
the root through the entire year.
When you cut down and bed the cane
IN the fall, cut the stubble of that which
you wish to preserve through the follow
ing summer eight inches high instead OF
three. With hoes pull DIRT around the
stubble to prevent freezing. After dA' ger
OF frost is overin the spring, pull the dirt
from around the stubble and cultivate
very shallow The stubble will put out
and the roots begin growth where they
left off the preceding fall. Thus, Oh a few
acres, we have a great abundance of food
through the entire year.
Surely there is no necessity in this
country for poor stock, and lack Of
meat and milk and butter. The product
increases as you go south, on account of
the longer growing season. doubt if it
can be proftably grown north of the lat
itude of Atlanta, Ga.

Peerless among the great cities of
the globe. Chicago stands to-day as a
worlds fair city. She has ably dem
onstrated her supremacy as a host by
receiving and entertaining within her
gates nearly half a million people, in
addition to caring for her population of
over twelve hundred Thousand. When
the day came on which she was to
commemorate the awful disaster which
.ovrrcamr her in 1871, she turned her
self loose" and gave the world lesson
in celebrating which will serve as a
marker for the future generations of
all lands Ia ponder over and marvel at.
We all expected IA big turnout. and
calculated on breaking all worlds
fair records. providing the weather
WAS fine. Well. the weather was
fine. very fine Ii was far different
from that of October .. TWENTY-FIVE
years ago 1t was just such n day as
patriotic Chicagoans had been wishing
for ever since the celebration was first

for coming worlds fair cities to look
