To Measure an Acre.

Few farmers know the size of their
fields or how many acres they contain.
1t is desirable-in fact, Indispensable
for good work, that farmer should
know this. otherwise he cannot apportion
seed or manure for it; nor can he tell
how much time it should take to plow,
harrow or cultivate it. A good cotton
cord, size Of pillow line, should be kept
for this purpose. To make one, directs
Colman's Rural World, buy 81 feet of
cotton rope, inch round; fasten II ring
at each end, and make these rings
precisely GO feet apart This is four
rods. Tie piece Of red rag in the
center. One acre of ground will be
piece four of these cords and two and
one half wide, equal to sixteen by ten
rods, making 100 square rods to an acre.
The advantage of the rings is that one
person Can measure alone by driving Il
stake in the ground to hold the rope
while he stretches 1T out. The rope
should be soaked in tar and then dried.
This will prevent it's shrinking. -EX-

A recent bulletin issued by the u. S.
Depart ment of Agriculture contains the
following:
The result of the analytical work, the
report states, establishes the fact that
the cassava is plant of high economic
value The fields on which it is Guilt
waited should be kept free from all weeds
and the surface of the soil we'll stirred.
The roots should be left in the ground
until needed for use, whether for food,
starch, or glucose, and should not be al
lowed to grow more than two seasons.
The crop can best be harvested between
October and May. In ordinary seasons,
with ordinary treatment, the crop will
average from four to seven tons per acre.
list Wiley Of the department, who COM
piled the report, draws the following
conclusions:
when properly manufactured, cas-
sava will give from 20 to IS per cent of
the weight of the fresh root in starch of
high grade. The starch, which is nearly
in IA pure state, does not require chem
icAls in it's manufacture, and in It's phys
zeal properties it resembles the starch
Of maize. for which it can always be
substituted. Glucose and an excellent
article OF taploca can be prepared from
the cassava starch. The plant furnishes
an excellent human and cattle food, def
cient, however, in nitrogen.

For THE FLORIDA AGRlCULTURIsT,
Look Out for Insects.

Since the late freeze has no doubt
killed much nursery stock it is possible
that nurserymen, and others, may send
to California and elsewhere for budding
wood to use in which the buds have
been killed out.
In doing this there is danger of new
importation of insect pest; and now that
the Florida scale etc, etc, has been nearly
eXterminated by the freeze would it not
be we'll to sound warning against
introducing new enemies, or more of the
old ones, by so doing?

During the first twenty six days of the

for the State being on that date about
five degrees lower than any previously
registered. At Jacksonville, on the
morning of the goth the temperature
fell to ID; | 3 degrees lower than during
the memorable freeze of January II, 1886,
causing ice % inches thick to form in
exposed places. The temperature fell
to Is as far south as Titusville on the
Goth. This severe freeze practically de-
stroyed nearly all that part of the orange

at between two and three million boxes,

Christmas Evergreens.

forth branch every month, and
where spray of this tree with twelve
shoots on it was used in Egypt at the
time of the winter solstice, as a sym.
Dol of thh year complicated,
Years ago over every mans door
in England hung a spray of mistletoe
at this season, There still hovers a
mystic charm about the mlstletoe,
and many girl now, with thrill of
expectancy, places a branch of it UNI
der tie chandelier or over the door.
According to former belief, when
a girl is caught ana kissed under the
mistletoe berry must be picked off
with each kiss and the berries having
all been plucked the privilege ceases,
Among the ancient Britons the
mistletOe that grows on the oak tree
was the kind held in favor. Because
of It's heather origin it is not often
used In church decorations, a fact
which in referred to by Washington
Irving in his "Bracebridge Hail."
where he has the learned parson re-

1t was Christmas eve at the Cen
tral-street church. In a moment of
weakness Mr.. Unlukikus had yielded
to the solicitations of the fair men,
bers of the committee of arrange
mentS, and now appeared upon the
platform, wearing a tow beard,
buffalo-skin coat, genial smile, and
other articles of costume popularity
supposed to be indispensable to the
makeup of Santa Claus. He was
greeted by the young people with a
round of applause, to which he re-
sponded with the regulation Christ
mas poem. He then stepped around
behind the tree, and mounting a step
ladder, proceeded to pluck and dis
tribute the fruit. AS he handed
down each of the articles he made
some pleasant remark suggested by
the nature of the gift. Finally, he
came to an elegantIy-bound volume
of "Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress" for
the minister. ain this book" he
said, as he held it up, 1--WE find many

was dead silence, broken only by
the lncoherent remarks of the man
who had been banged upon the Sims

CHRISTMAS BAY,

VI all dear days is Christmas DAY,
The dearest and the best;
Still in it's dawn the angels sing
Their song of peace and rest.
And yet the blessed Christ Child

And walks the shining way,
Which brings to simple earthly

Heavens light on Christmas Day.

And watt breath of myrrh;
And far and near Kriss Kringle's
bells
Their airy music shake,
And dancing feet of boys and girls
A sweeter joyance make.
The Christ Child came to Bethlehem
TO Mary's happy breast,
And found within her brooding
arms
A warm encircIlng nest.
And many tiny CHI Grub child
In mothers arms to-day
Smiles like the Christ, the indebted.
On this dear Christmas Day.
The Christ Child's mother dimly
saw
The cross in faint outline
Above the baby face that held
Her own in awe divine.
Thus over little cradle-beds
The sacred passlon-fower
It's purple sign of sorrow spreads
In loves most rapturOus hour.
To Mary's feet the Wise Men
brought
Their gifts of gold and spice;
The "Gloria," swept the midnight
TO greet her Pearl of Price.
And down the ladder of the stars,
Across the shining way,
The angels watched the Christ
Child come
That first dear Christmas Day.
Of all dear days is Christmas Day,
The very dearest dear,
The crown and clasp and topmOst
sheaf
OF all the joyful year.
The dancing feet of boys and girls
Go gaily to and fro.
And ''Merry, merry Christmas" rings
In all the winds that blow.

Wonders Of Minute Animal Life.

The following, which might very APP
propriately bear the heading Of "A Won
der of Wonders" is from the pen Of Sir
Robert s. Ball, F. R. S., astronomer
royal Of Ireland: 1.-The microscope
teaches us that there are animals SO won
derfully minute that if a thousand Of
them were ranked abreast they could
easily swim, without being thrown out
Of order, through the eye Of the finest
cambria needle ever made. Yet each Of
the minute creatures is a highly organ
lied number Of PARTICLES, capable Of NOV
ing about, of finding and devouring food
and Of behaving in all respects as be-
comes an animal as distinguished from
a fragment of unorganized matter" The
human mind is utterly incapable Of real
izing the structure Of these little crea-
lures and Of fully a~ppreciating their
marvellous adaptation to the life they are
destined to lead.
