The Cashew.

The cashew nut is tropical produc'
ton with which the people of the
United States are not at all familiar,
but it seems likely that it may be
introduced into the market at no dis
'tant date. The cashew< is bush-like
tree, which bears nut shaped some
thing like a large lima bean, only
much thicker and meatier. On the end
OF this nut or seed is borne what gen
orally passes for the fruit, though in
point of fact. the seed itself is the fruit
and this pulpy mass simply the recep-
tacle, as is the case in the strawberry.
This so-called fruit is as large as a
small pear and of a delicious acid
flavor, very refreshing on hot day.
The seed when roasted is considered
by many the peer of any nut on the
market, being spicy and highly fla
vored. Roasted almonds are compared
as fiat. The casnew is a native of the
tropics, and arrangements are now
being made to plant groves in Porto
Rico and Hawaii. Attempts will also
be made to grow them in south Flor
ida and southern California The tree
rejoices in the botanical name of Ana.

Late Late blight; due to Phytophthora infes-
Grafton and rotting of the tuber.
Time, and probably why it appears later
than the disease discussed under the
former heading. The tubers affected
with the disease show depressed, dark
colored areas on the surface. while
within are blotches and streaks Of a
brownish or blackish color. Other dis
eases may produce similar effects, so
that in this case the changes are not so
characteristic as those shown by the
leaves. For many years it was be-
HeVed that most Of the injury to the
potato was due to this disease, but re-
cent Investigations have shown that
view to be erroneous.
Treatment-Thes same treatment as
recommended for early blight should
be followed here, and will be found
TO prevent the blighting of the tops
and rotting of the tubers. In regions
where late blight is known to occur,
care should be taken to begin the ap-
plication Of the Bordeaux mixture be-
fore the attacks Of the fungus. In all
this work it must be constantly kept
in mind that the main object is pre-
vention rather than cure. Benefit will
undoubtedly result if only clean.
healthy potatoes are used as seed. De-
cayed and discolored tubers should he
fed to the hogs, as it is poor policy
to plant them.

1linois-Fed Texas Cattle.

A telegram to the Chicago Record
from Rockford, ILL.,, under a recent
date, said:
j The sale by Warren Gilmore, a
farmer living four miles northwest of
THIS city, Of forty-one head of cattle
averaging 1851 pounds, after seven
months full feed, is a part of the ex-
pertinent of the Illinois state live stock
ooard In dipping Texas cattle and ship
ping them to northern Illinois to fit
!or market. The younger cattle of that
Shipment did not do we'll, but the
s-year-olds, which were placed on diff
1erent farms in this vicinity to the
num- Der Of 600 head, turned out fairly
well and were sold in the Chicago
market at the close of winter.
Inc test showed that the southern
cattle do not thrive as well during the
colo weather as the native cattle of
Ills section. The herd which was fed
On into June by Mr.. Gilmore made a
good showing during the latter warm
months and made the best results of
any OF the shipments. The cattle were
bought by Mr.. Gilmore Nov. II, the
average weight being 915 pounds. They
are said to be one of the finest lots
OF cattle marketed in this region this
year. They were high-grade Polled
Angus. Their average gain in the
seven months is 1876 pounds. The test
20 snow Immunity from risk or south
ern teVer in bringing them north was
success, but as to the feeding ex-
pertinent Mr.. Gilmore considers that
me native cattle are more profitable
"nen they can be had. He paid 81 per
Luz pounds for the entire bunch, and
a1ter adding 436 pounds average weight
sold the lot at $4.85 per 100 pounds
ne cattle required about ten bushels
VI corn per month besides rough feed.
me cost to feed per head was about
soo, while the average net gain was
a little less than $29. On the face of
IL 1nls shows small loss on the trans
action, but Mr.. Gilmore estimates a
gain OF about $500 on hogs feeding
a1ter the cattle. The principal light
shed by this experiment is that feeder
cattle can be brought from Texas and
lea up for market on northern Illinois
FARMS 1t has been found to be q
perfectly safe operation under the pro-
VISIONS made by the department of ag
flculture. The greatest difficulty ex-
perlenced by feeders in this part Of
tne country is in getting good cattle
10 iced. For that reason they have.
been looking in every direction. At
times there is almost famine of cat
Tie suited to the demand because OF
inc dearth in the supply Of feeders
Ihere may be times when the relative
state of supply in Texas and in the
north will make the new plan a com,
mercial success.

Water for the Tenn

When going to distant fields to work
with the team the farmer will be pretty
sure to take with him water for his
own drinking, for he would regard
himself as greatly abused if he was
compelled to work a long halliday
without drinking water, and he would
be right. 1t should be borne in mind,
however, that the team has similar
needs, and if it is to be taken out for
a long half-day's work in a distant
field that is unprovided with water, a
supply should be taken along, says
Homestead. The way work presses
one will not feel that he can afford to
unhitch and drive very far to water
along about the middle of the fore
noon, but the team should not be al
lowed to go without water, either, and
the way to meet the difficulty is to
carry supply along. A merciful man
IS merciful to his beast. That is Tia
moral and sentimental aspect Of tn,
question. The material aspect is that
1t don't pay to let the team suffer for
water, and on one or the other of these
grounds, or both, those who work with
teams should see that there is no dep
rivation of this kind.

The Sparrow Hawk.

In many sections the sparrow hawk
is recognized as a true friend of the
farmer, though in others it is included
in the general warfare waged by farm,
ers and sportsmen against hawks of
all descriptions. The value of the
sparrow hawk lies in his habit of
feeding on small rodents. He is a
rapacious bird, and destroys great
numbers of these farm pests; also
grasshoppers. Farmers are slow to
appreciate the value Of birds of prey.
If one young chicken is devoured by
hawk year, the whole race is con-
demned and no account taken of the
500 mice and young rats he may eat
during that period. Mr.. W. B. Hall
Of Wakeman, Ohio, was county clerk
while the Ohio hawk law was in force,
and he issued forty-six bounty certif-
Gates for sparrow hawks. He exam
ined their stomachs and found them all
to contain the remains Of grasshop-
pers, beetles and meadow mice; not
one held any signs of chickens. The

riculture are more conclusive yet,
