CassAva In Missi.sipDi.

Here at our plantation at BrOokha-
ven. Miss, we planted last April half
an acre in cassava, and this, l think. is
the first experiment made in the state
with this valuable plant. We brought
the seed from Florida planted on April
% and May >. 4 five or six weeks
spell OF dry weather followed, but at
the first soaking rain the plant made
its appearance and kept growing rapid
ly and most luXuriantly until It reach
ed, last October. from ~ feet TO 5la
feet above ground. On Oct. p we saw
ed half Of the stalk for seed, fearing an
early frost. The stalk of the other half
was harvested on the 4th inst. The tu-
bers are left under ground to be used
gradually as needed for stock feed or
domestic USE but the tubers can also
be harvested, if desired, the same as
sweet potatoes.
Many and expensive experiments
have been made at our place in the
past, but none has promised as good re-
suits as the cassava.-Cor. Southern

practically concluded its labors for
the week. On Friday afternoon the
private pension calendar was cleared
and on Saturday eulogies were pro-
nounced on the late Representative
Polk of Pennsylvania and the late
Senator KYLE of South Dekots.
This week the bill of Representative
Adams so amending the statutes as
TO permit of the granting of pass
ports to citizens of our insular pos
sessions, viii be passed and will
probably be followed by the Naval
appropriation bill which will doubt
less occupy some time. There is u
provision in the bill, as reported
from the Committee on Naval Affairs
whereby the Secretary of the Navy
is authorized at his discretion to
build one or more of the new battle
ships in government navy yards.
This provision Is approved by the
labor organizations but is opposed by
the republican machine in the House,
and in the Senate by Senators Hanna
and Mcmillan who are stock holders
of the Trust which now constructs
the naval vessels of the United
States.
All last week in the Senate was
spent in debating the Philippine bill
aud the prospects are that all this
week will be spent in the same way.
Senator Dubois tells me that he
expects to address the Senate on the
subject and Senator DALEY told me
that he would probably do so.
Senator Foraker will speak for the
republicans and probably Senator
Spooner. The democrats feel that
they will be derelict in their duty if
they do not completely expose TO the
public the situations IN the islands
and the probable results of the
republican policy which is I'M Amer

A FEW
WORDS ABOUT
JOBPRIN7INC

IL used to be that the quality of
Job Printing did not amount to
much, so far as success in business
WAS concerned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly we'll
without 1t. But we live in another
and altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if they
intend to occupy II prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see piece of job print
ing crowded and the type damned
too close together, with dirty looking
ink aud finger marks sueared over
it, on low grade of paper. i, doesn t
speak we'll for the firm which uses it.
In fact, YOU don't have the same
opinion of that place as You have of
the man whose stationery is clearly
printed with good ink On the best
grade of paper.
The quality of stationery reflects
the standing of ones business. Ii is
therefore duty YOU Owe to yourself
to have good printing.

4 New View of Sorghum.


Or. Henry Stewart afirms in Farm

the matter OF sheep, cattle and horses
being killed by eating sorghum or so
called cane fodder. he is able TO state
the cause:
"Once ! was making an examination
Of the plant ut strip mill and happened
TO carelessly draw 4 blade of it through
my hand, feeling it rough. Some of my
fingers were cut 10 the bone by the
leaves, and this. of course, led me TO
make a microscopical examina tion OF
the leaves. l found the edges of the
leaves were fringed by almost trans
parent teeth visible and apparent to the
enlarged view as clear, glasslike hooks.
at once recognized the cause of the
trouble with the plant. Animals fed on
sorghum Of course pass the pulpy mat
ter through the bowels, and In cases
when much OF the fodder has been
eaten the compact mass, having myri-
ads Of these sharp, CLASSY, hooked
points, cuts the bowels and produces
fatal Inflammation. Examination Of
the bowels of animals killed in this
way has confirmed this diagnosis, and
1 am satisfied Of its entire correctness.
Every i'll has it's remedy, and so has
this, in prevention of this injury by
avoiding feeding Of mature, or nearly
mature. sorghum and 10y mixing it. I'M

der. In its early stage OF growth, or
when thickly grown, the forage is less
