COMMITTEE w. b. TuLL,
w. II. ROWAN.
the discussion was opened by
Prof. Rowan who narrated the
encouraging words spoken to him
by the deceased when they met
for the first time, showing the in
terest he felt in the success of the
work which the speaker had come
here to undertake. Proceeding

distinguishing traits OF character
OF the deceased, and related a
visit to his home when on his
death bed, and told how resigned
he was.
Hon. j II. Price was the next
speaker. He had known the de-
ceased for nineteen years; they
attended Mississippi College to-
gether, were afterwards associa-
ted in the management of the
Gillsburg Collegiate Institute;
met in the practice Of law; and
during the pest nine years were
intimately associated in church
work. He paid a high tribute t.
the deceased as a Christian, cit
izen, teacher, lawyer, judge; and
made touching reference to his
life in the home circle.
Rev. A. r. Bond spoke Of the
Christian life of the deceased,
showing that he was helper to
mis- pastor; he had the faith-he
lived it. His wasfhe true mis-

the gospel.
Prof. w. N. Hardee was as
sociated with the deceased in
school room work, and spoke of
his ability as a teacher. OF the
cordial, friendly relations that
always existed between him and
his associate teachers and pupils.
He had the utmost confidence Of
every one. In conclusion the
speaker impressed this lesson {:
That while it is right to say
naught of the dead, unless it be
good-we should speak words Of
encouragement to the living.
This service was held in lieu of
the regular preaching service,
and was highly beneficial to all.

The silk In bands about three inches wide had the edges bound with the velvet then braided and draped around brim and crown, forming high loops on the left side. mingling with green fancy feathers. A thick knot of velvet under the left side was held by steel buckle.
 A wine colored velvet Gainsborough from Masion Lewis was attracting a great deal of attention yesterday. It was trimmed with a large velvet bow, the ends stitched of the same colored velvet, beneath the brim huge rose shaped rosette of wine colored taffeta, edged with velvet, and high loops of stitched velvet on the outside.
 The millinery department is in charge of Mrs. Avery, one of the most able managers in that line in the country. Mrs. Avery has had a long and sue cessful career in New York and in taste and selection of ladies' hats has few equals.

The growing of cassava in Florida

ton of Mr.. Stetson's fine crop of 25O
acres at DeLand, been in small fields
and patches for the owners use as
feed for his stock. AS such it is very
valuable, and has been a great help to
farmers. and, while oranges furnished
the cash crop, no other thought was
given it. Now, over a large portion OF
the State, the orange crop has gone,
and taken with it the capital and in

bringing back to it saleable value,
has lately arisen in the slow and sure
way the possibility of the manufacture
of various staple products from cas-

of the manufacturers Of those pro-
ducts from other sources. Of late a

However, it looks as though what was
wanted has come at last. The Plant
ers' Manufacturing Company, incor
porated with a capital stock Of $780,,
OOO and composed of men thoroughly
conversant with the most approved
method of the manufacture of starch
and other products made. from cas-
sava, and how to dispose of those pro-
ducts when made, are located at Lake
Mary, a point six miles south of San
ford on the main line to Tampa, and
near the center of the Plant System
of Railways. No care or expense is
being spared to make their factory,
now in course of erection, one of the
finest and most complete in the United
States. 1t is hoped that the machin-
cry will be in running order by the
first of December, and it's capacity will
be such that, if necessary, 200 tons of
roots will be ground and disposed of
per day. With an enterprise Of such
capacity as this in our midst, the Flori-
da farmer has good reason to con-
gratulate himself, for here is a crop
suitable and suitable only for the high
pine land, anu which can be raised
from that same piece of lanu upon
which he has toiled and spent money
for years in the attempt to grow Or
anges.
There are few crops which can be
grown remuneratively on this class Of
land, either for market or home use,
and when the orange trees went down
those who turned their attention to
trucking or pineries, the only industry
then in signt, found they had to go
down in their pockets and make a
fresh outlay Of capital, before a dol
lar could be maue. Cassava growing
does not present this drawback, for in
the neighborhood of every settlement
in Florida, there are hundreds of acres
of land cleared and ready to be plough
ed and planted with this crop, owned
either by residents or by absentees.
whose permission to use it can in most
cases be obtained by some resident
free of any but a trifing expense.
While cassava culture calls for no
large outlay of capital, it is not pre-
sented as an industry out of which
large fortunes can be made while the
maker dozes in hammock on his ve-
randa, but, as every one with know
ledge of farming in other States VIII
readily see, the remuneration lies in
planting an acreage which will war
rant the purchase of few implements
adapted to the saving Of labor ex-
penses and almost entirely doing away
with hand labor and in giving the acre
age the attention proper to good farm
ing.

For Florida Agriculturist.
Ferti1izing After Cowpeas.

Fertilizing After Cowpeas.
The great value of cowpeas as a soil
renovatOr is now too well known to
require description here, it is enough
that they are largely grown for their
value as fertilizers, to encourage a
study for the best way of making use
of this value. 1t may surprise some
planters that fertilizers should be used
after cowpeas, but it is a very simple
matter explained. In the first place, we
must keep in mind that plants take up
nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid
in certain definite proportions. For eX-
ample, a crop of tobacco comprising
1900 pounds of leaf and 1900 pounds of
stems will require as shown by chemi-
cal analysis, 80 pounds of nitrogen,
1O5 pounds of potash, and 25 pounds of
phosphoric acid. Now, suppose the
supply of fertilizer in the soil available
for the use Of the crop should be limit
ed TO 90 pounds of nitrogen, so pounds
of potash, and 25 pounds of phosphoric
acid, the result would be crop of ap-
proximately 800 pounds of leaf The
point is that the value of the fertilizer
is limited by the most deficient consti-
tuent. If in the example given above,
the nitrogen only should be reduced
half, or the phosphoric acid similarly
reduced, the crop result would be the
same The point is that the crop must
have certain quantities of nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric acid, and no ex-
cess Of any one, or of any two, will
make good a deficiency of any one.
A fair crop of cowpeas stubble and
roots, such as would naturally be turn
ed under for manure, contains per acre
about 10 pounds of nitrogen, 70
pounds of potash, and Is pounds of
phosphOric acid. If this Stubble
ground is to be used for tobacco, it is
evident that as compared with the re.
uuirements of the tobacco crop as Civ
en- previously, there is enough nitrogen
for 1850 pounds of leaf, enough potash
for 1880 pounds of leaf, and enough
phosphoric acid for 1850 pounds Of
leaf. From the laws of plant feeding
as determined by Leibig, it is evident
that the cowpea stubble and roots will
produce about 1880 pounds of leaf,
while it contains nitrogen for 1850
pounds. AS the nitrogen would large
ly go to waste, and as fertilizer nitro
gen costs about three times fertilizer
potash or phosphate, it is plain thai
this loss is a very severe leak in the
profits of the plantation. These condi-
tions are practically equally true for
other crops as we'll as tobacco. Of
course in actual planting conditions,
such exact results as are shown in the
above computation could not be realiz-
ed, but as a proposition of economical
manuring they are absolutely correct.
Soil fertilizer is much like bank ac-
