Texas Harpoon.
l there is anything on earth that
gives us longing for eternal rest and
deep, damp solitude, it is man who
comes to town or county, grows rich
and then squats down on the gold like
a hen on a door knob and is too stingy
to let the gravel grind in his own giz-
zard.
A real genuine 1S-karat stingy,
selfish man can't be honest, and II he
ever gets to heaven and has wings he
will fold them up and walk for fear he
might ruffie plume or lose a tail
feather The kind Of men who be-
lieve IN living and letting others live,
and who, when they have a dollar,
don't squeeze it until the goddess OF
liberty feels like she had on corset.
Such squeezing is what causes the
hard times and stops the circulation
of the American eagle. II 1t were not
for our broad gauged, enterprising
men, 1t would be Impossible to build
up prosperous city. Life would be
one big game Of grab, and the devil
take the hindmost would be the order
of the day.

ON THE OTHER SIDE.

We 70 our ways in life too much alone,
We hold ourselves too far from all our
kind;
Too often we are dead to sigh and moan.
Too often to the weak and helpless blind;
Too often where distress and want abide
We turn and pass upon the other side.
The other side Is trodden smooth and worn
By footsteps passing idly all the day;
Where lie the bruised ones that faint and
mourn
Is seldom more than an untrOdden way;
Our selfish hearts are for our feet the
guide
They lead us by upon the other side.
1t should be ours the oil and wine to pour
Into the bleeding wounds OF stricken
ones;
To take the smitten and the sick and sore,
And bear them where stream Of blessing
runs.
Instead we look ahout-the way Is wide
And 80 we pass upon the other side.
o friends and brothers, gliding down the
years.
Humanity is calling each and all
In tender accents, born Of grief and tears.
Ipray you. listen to the thrilling call!
You can not In your cold and selfish pride.
Pass gniltlessly upon the other side.

CASSAVA CULTURE.

| " ~ VI DSA ~ wv
advocate OF cassava growing, and de-
scribcs his method OF culture in a
communication to the Florida Agri-
culturalist. lie likes to have the land
in fine tilth. and especially to have
had it previously in corn. Continuing,
he says
The following spring, I rcplow the
land in the latter part of March, or
beginning of April, at the same time
scattering broadcast about three hun
drcd pounds per acreOf muriate OF
potash, and week or two later | run
hve-tooth cultivator, as deep as |
possibly can, the cross way of this
blowing. This leaves the soil open,
and it soon warns up ready for the
planting of the seed.
We cannot plant cassava in cold
soil, as it would soon rot, and for this
reason it is,very difficult to keep the
seed Of it over the winter. always
cut up my canes in short pieces Of
three or four inches in length, taking
care to have at least three eyes or
sprouts on each piece. These l bed
about the beginning OF March the
same way as bed sweet potatoes,
on Il moderately warm hot-bed in a
warm location, and by the end of
April the sprouts will be few inches
above the ground.
l then lay off my land four feet eacl,
way, scattering in the furrow about
four hundred pounds of fertilizer
rich in phosphoric acid and potash
(about equal percentage of cach). This,
with the muriate of potash already
used. makes the soil well charged with
pot asl. ! then lift the sprouts from
the bed just as they are, and set them
a little deeper than they were in the
bed. BY planting my cassava this way
| hardly ever lose hill of II, whereas,
by cutting the seed cane and planting
it in the field right away, the white
ant is liable to take it all; at least
that has been my experience with 1t,
and have been growing cassava for
the last eight years.
You will observe that | don't use
any nitrogenous fertilizer at all, as |
found that the cassava plant takes
quite lot Of nitrogen from the
atmosphere, and any one studying its
foliage will understand that it is so.
and my experience goes to prove that
giving it nitrogen is throwing away
money. My reasons for using muriate
as the source Of potash Is that the
murate gives me more solid roots
without any of that stringiness we get
in cassava grown on poor soil, and it
keeps better when fertilized with
muriate. l used to take kainit for my
potash, out as we leave cassava In the
field all winter and only dig it as we
want it, found that the cassava fer
tilted with kainit did not keep as
we'll as that with the muriate, more
of it rotting; hence my reason for
adopting the muriate.
After the plants begin togrOw well,
they don't want to be disturbed much
in the cultivating, but the land has
to be kept clean and clear of weeds,
and very soon the plants will shade
the ground. five cultivate deep, it
sets the roots too deep andwe cannot
get as good crop as with shallow
cultivation. Az
