or four inches deep. The earth is well
firmed over the piece to prevent it
from drying out. 1t should be dropped

sure to be well imbedded in the ground
with no airhOles left about it.
Fertilizer.-Cassava needs a fertil-
izer strong in nitrogen with good per
centage of potash added. l apply
about $50 to 4O0~pounds of blood and
bone and potash, distributed broadcast
and narrowed in at the time of plant
ing. Then, when the roots have start
ed out pretty WE'LL say about the mid
die of May, l sow twenty-five pounds
of nitrate of soda per acre. In a month
or six weeks | apply it again, about
the same quantity, and the third time
the same amount the last of August.
In order to apply as small a quantity
as this per acre it is necessary to have
it pulverized fine, which can be done
by spreading it on the barn floor and
crushing it with a stout hoe.
Cultivation.-Th first two or three
civilizations are given about as they
would be to corn or potatoes, the OBJ
ject being to stir the ground three or
four inches deep and to remove the
weeds and grass. By this time the
roots will have spread out pretty well
and deep cultivation must be discOn-
tinued as the tuberS run shallow and
must not be lacerated. Most Of the
subsequent cultivation is performed
with light A-shaped, wooden har-
row, which scratches the surface only
about an inch deep. After the plants
have become well spread out they COW
er and shade the ground so complete
ly that the grass is mostly smOthered
out and cultivation is no longer neces-
sary, unless it may be chopping or
pulling out a few large weeds which
escaped the pillow and harrow.
will not keep long after being tIken
out of the ground; | dig it every two
or three days, as it is wanted. Most
domestic animals take to it very we'll
after day or two; some have to be
educated to eat It by mixing it with
bran, cottOnseed, or something else to
which they were accustomed. Ii the
roots are dug or pulled and left lying
in the sun for a short time the sand all
falls off, leaving them clean and
bright.
TO prepare them for stock they are
crushed with a mallet or hammer on
block. This is easily done as the roots
are brittle. This is better than cutting
or Slicing them, for some animals are
greedy and will choke themselves on
pieces of some size. When this hap
pens, hold a block of wood against the
piece on one side and on the other
strike it a smart blow with a wooden
mallet; this will crush it and it will
pass on down the gullet without furth,
er trouble. But on the crushed tubers
animals do not choke themselves.

the product of a given area, but

THE people OF Washington are
greatly excited because tits rumored
that Admiral Dewey is going to deed
over to his wife the home provided
for him by the American people as
a recognition of his services to the
country. The ~rumor has not been
confirmed, but neither has it been
denied. Such step on the part of
the admiral would certainly be an
unusual proceeding, and. there seems
to be no reason for it, as Mrs. Dewey
is Independently wealthy and does
not need the house. Should the adj
miral transfer his title the people
who contributed to the purchase of
the place could not help but feel
that their spontaneous generosity
was but little appreciated. 1t is
hoped the admiral will make an ex-
plicit denial OF any such retention
and retain the hold he has upon the
aft .ction OF the people.
