panion.
Day after day Sir William met
Mulai Hassan to discuss with him the
Cape JUDY claims, and every time the
business was put off. Sir William was
man of temper, and the delay irri-
tated him. At length in the midst OF
one of his ceremonious interviews
with the SULTAN, while Mula Hassan
smiled and waved his hand. and in
sisted that the business could wait
until tomorrow, Sir William lost all
command of himself, and broke in on
his majesty's dismissal with these
words:
my lord, listen. You do not know
what you are doing. but | will tell
you. You are killing me- Yes, and
any of these days | may fall dead at
your feet. | might fall dead at your
feet now. And if that should happen,
remember one thing, my lord, my
country will call you to account"
Mulai Hassan listened, and spoke
not a word. No man had ever adj
dressed him thus before, and his
vizier and ministers and troops of
servants, who bowed and crouched
before him, had heard it all His fine
black face twitched slightly, and he
said:
Let us finish the business imme-
diately."
1t was settled then and there.
In the middle of that night Sir Will
liam died. When the news of his
death was brought to the sultan fear
seemed to take possession of him. 1t
was evident that he remembered the
words the minister had addressed to
him the day before. Possibly he was
glad that he had at least finished the
business that had brought Sir Will
liam so often into his presence.

Planting Broom Corn seed.

Any rich soil capable of raising good
crop of Indian corn will answer for broom
corn, says the. American Agriculturist. 1t
will not be profitable on thin land. If the
ground designed for broom corn is not
rich in plant food, supply this by liberia
applications of farmyard manure. AS
broom corn requires a great deal of work,
il is not wise TO try to gorw ii on hand
that will not produce Il large yield. Pillow
the ground early in spring to a depth of
to inches. depending somewhat upon
the care of the soil. The deep, black
prairie ioams of the central West are the
most desirable. Gay loans do fairly well
The prepare ton of the broom corn field
Is similar to that for ordinary Indian
corn, except that the ground must be in
excellent condition. All the clods must be
b oxen up the upper layers of soil mus
be compacted and pu.verized, so that the
field is in the condition of a good garden
When this has been accomplished, the
seed can be planted, provided the weather
is warm enough. Being a Sub-tropical
plant, it is naturally feeble, and when
small is easily injured by cold weather
consequently in the latitude of central
Illinois il is not advisable to plant it be-
fore that date. If planted when the soil
is coH il will be weak and difficult to

The most profitable variety, all things
considered, Is the Tenn Evergreen. In
some sections Dwarf is grown with profit
The yield of the Dwarf however is small
and most growers prefer the Evergreen.
The seed is planted by means of the
ordinary two-horse corn planters. These

What Shall We Teach the Young.
Under the term Cow peas" is included
a great number OF varieties of true beans
so many in fact, that we doubt if any
one person has had observation OF them
all. New kinds are constantly being found
and added 10 the catalogue.
How many distinct varieties there are
we cannot even approximate
How this name came to be applied TO
so valuable a plant we also do not know
1t is true bean, as much so as any snap
bean that is grown in our garden. The
true pea, Pisus family, is represented by
the garden vegetable that we style the
English pea. our COW pea is not of that
family at ali. There is a vast difference
between the two species. One is very
hardy, enduring the seYerest cold. and
is very impatient OF summer. heat. The
other is a very tender plant Is easily
killed by frost and revels under the hot
test sun. Both belong to the great family
of Leguminosae or pod bearers.
There is very wide range Of special
traits or characteristics in cow peas.
Some grow erect and make comparatively
little vine; some are recumbent or trail
ing, and produce an immense amount of
foliage. Some have small pods; some
large; some small peas, while others are
large. The peas of some are white, some
back, some red, some speckied, and SO
on. Some an early, while others are
late in maturing their crop. There Is
still further difference. The peas OF some
kinds will lie in the ground all winter
without rotting. and will come up in the
spring, while others will not. In variety
the bean is certainly valuable and in
teresting species of plant. Our own COW
peas are extending their area and in
fiuence rapidly. Wherever corn is
grown, they can be grown to advantage.
For table use the variety. known as
Lady pea" is by all odds the best. For
this purpose they should command price
30 to 100 per cent. greater than the ordi-
nary kinds.
For ordinary farm purpose there Is no
better variety than the Wonderful" 1t

Cessava is luxuriant shrub with dark
green, palmately divided leaves, and red
dish colored stems but it is native of
tropical America, and the starchy roots
of the plant has long served as the prin-
region, says the Florida Agriculturlst. Its
range has been greatly extended, and in
1900 crop was produced on the grounds
Of the Department of Agriculture at
Washington. though it is not. recon-
mended as a profitable crop north of Mid
die Georgia. 1t has proven to be a sue
cessful crop in Florida, where it rarely
produces seed, being propagated from
nodes the sugar cane.
Thrifty plants attain hight of from
5 to s feet. The roots or underground
stems are from one to three inches in
diameter, and from one to three feet In
length at one years growth They con-
sist of solid white tissue harder and
drier than potatoes and very rich in
starch.
Cassava thrives best in a moderately
fertile sandy soil. 1t Wtthstands drouth
we'll, but is very sensitive to frost and
requires a season of seven months to
reach full development. The soil should
be thoroughly pulveriZed, and subsoiled
!
blowing. The seed canes are cut into
sections, about four inches in length, and
planted two in a hill, four feet apart
each way. They are dropped by hand
and may be covered by a cultiVator.
The plant produces well with only mod
crate applications of fertilizers. From ex-
periments made at the Florida Station
best results were obtained by an app. ica-
ton of 62l5 pounds of acid phosphate, $50
pounds of cotton seed meal and 37la
pounds of muriate of potash per acre.
After frost or after the following of
the leaves of the plants are cut off four
20 six inches above the ground with hoes.
The stems left furnishing hold for lift
ing the root system from the ground. The
roots may be kept a reasonable time in
a dry cool place. though as rule 1T is
best to harvest only a few days previous
to use. Canes for seed are preserved by
stripping and covering over with straw
and light layer OF earth. Layers so
placed should be kept moist, but not wet.
The important fact is shown that cas-
sava contains larger per cent. of car
bohydrates or fat forming material than
any other crop. This is composed largely
of starch which as analyses show aver
ages 1888 per cent. of the whole root.
Cassava is a valuable food for pigs. and
cattle. The Florida station reports the
production of pork at a cost of about |
cent per pound and of beef at IL cents
per pound, with feed of cassava. 1t IS
also described as palstable and nutri-
tious food for man..
Factories are established in Florida for
the manufacture of starch from cassava.
Six tons of cassava, an average yield per
acre. produces 2,400 pounds of commercial
starch.

SNAKES OF ENORMOUS SIZE.
Skeletons of Reptiles That Measured
Hundred Feet in Length.

(From the Denver Post)
There is smaA gulch near Florence.

stone snakes, whose wriggling days are
over, prehistoric snakes with enormous
heads and tails like r1ldders

come much interested in this discovery.

mems for preservation i'm the collection
In the state capitol. The fossil reptiles
We're found by McFie and Masters. of
tlorence, the first several months ago
and others more recently. The first find
was head measuring 32x34 inches. 1t
was so Enthusiastically the head of a fossil
animal of some sort that McFie and
Masters proceeded to search for the rest
of the body They found it in sections
part on one side of the gulch and part
on the opposite side. The middle parts of
the immense body had been swept away,
doubtless by floods and the entire length
of the snake must have been 100 feet
In circumference the largest fragment
measures thirty-four inches.
The eye sockets are placed in the back
part of the heand and the position of
the head when attached TO the snakes
indicates that the creature had its head
lifted to look behind it, probably for its
enemies. The lines of the jaw is plainly
marked. Its tail is shaped like a rudder
and pitched downward, which leads the
discoverers of the reptile to the belief
that 1t was a swimmer rather than a
crawler. The shape of the body is much
like that of "A salmon, with the narrow
edge downward. The marks of the frac-
tured, stony edges of the body Indicate
that the serpent had no vertebrae but
only cartilage for holding its long mass
together.
So interested were McFie and Masters
in their find that they searched assduous-
~ for other fossils. None was found to
be anywhere except in the little gulch,
in a spot $50 feet square, where there
seems to have been a congregation of
the reptiles-perhaps the last stand of a
vanishing species against the inroads of
stronger animals or fire or water or
whatever it was. Many of the fossils are
to be found in this spot. One that has
been taken out has a head 33x36
inches. Four pieces of the body and the
head measure seven feet in length and
weight 200 pounds. There are fragments
there much greater in size, one head
Weighing 100 pounds, and the discoveries
of the fossil remains think there are
tven larger specimens there. Curator
Ferrin of the State Historical Society
is eager to get one or more of the snakes
for the state collection and negotiations
are now in progress for them.
The belief among scientists who have
heard Of these discoveries is that they
are of great value.
