OF the several substances from
which commercial starch is produced
Cassava is said to stand at the head
of the list.
An acre of good Georgia pine land
win produce 1000 pounds of starch
from cassava whereas from corn or
potatoes it yields only 1900 pounds.
Several factories have been estap-
lished in the South for making starch
from cassava. These pay the farm
ers IS to Sc per ton for the roots. Prof:
Stockbridge. who grew y acres or
cassava last year writes of 1t as tol-
lows:
"One acre of cassava will produce
more meat, either beef or Dork, than
one acre of any other crop grown IN
Gods sunshine. That is the import
ance of the crop. Not only can you
produce more pounds of meat in any
staple form. either beef or pork from
an acre of cassava than can be pos
sibly produced from the same acre of
land anywhere in the world in any
other crop. but l tell you more than
that, pound for pound, the meat you
are going to produce out OF that crop
will cost you less money than meat
produced on any other foodstuff that
human ingenuity has yet discovered.
There is nothing theoretical about
this. I am not giving you a state
ment based on few scientific tests.
For five years / have fed an average
of 100 head of stock. What l am saw
ing is based upon a large number of
tests extending over a period of years
and all the VicisSitudeS that different
years. competition and different ma
terials could produce. | tell you
have produced more than one beef
from cassava which l put upon the
market, covering all expenses, which
did not cost me exceeding two cents
per pound to make. For several years
the highest cost I have ever found in
my experience of feeding Cassava a a
beef producing material, the highest
cost per pound of meat I have produced
has been approximately three cents
per pound. There has never yet been
a condition in the six years that l
have been feeding cattle upon
Cassava, there has never yet been
any possible contingency that has
made the product in meat cost me more
than three cents per pound. Last year
] fed twenty-five head of steers and
placed the beef in competition with
the Chicago product, and I drove Chi
cago beef out of our market as long
as l could produce the beef 1t cost
me approximately two cents per
pound. At the very time that l was
putting meat on the market that cost
an average of two cents per pound
to produce. the same meat was cost
ing the Western farmer to produce five
cents per pound laid down in Chi
cago.''
Cassava is not only good for fatten-
ing cattle, but is fed to dairy herds
work teams and poultry.

sNAKEsTONE A MYTH.
south Africans Persist in Belief
That 1t AbsOrbs Poison.
From the South Africa.

From the South Africa.
South Africans, as a rule. trouble
themselves but little about snakes, al
though it is very we'll known that a
few varities are particularly deadly.
Among the natives the properties of
the "snakestone' have for many gener-
ations formed a center of half su-
perstitiOus credulity, and, even by peo-
pie who might be expected to know
better, have been supposed to effect the
most surprising cures of snake bite.
An investigation of its properties by
the government psychologists of Ma
tai, who submitted an Indian snake
stone to the test of applying it to ami
mails infected with snake venom has
shown cOnclusively that it's properties
are quite mythical, and that it does
nothing that is claimed for it,.
According to tradition, the snake
stone, which has absorbent qualities,
and which there is some reason to be-
lieve is frequently artihcially prepared,
is placed on the wound inflicted by a
snake. There it is believed to suck
out the poison, and it has been said
that if afterward placed in a bowl of
milk the venom will eXude and the
milk turn blue. In certain experiments
narrated in the British Medical Jour
Ildis ali LlESt ulIeCllOIlS were lOlOW6u.
To the two rabbits injected respective
ly with the venom of a black mamba,
a very deadly South African coulbrine,
and with puff adder venom. the snake
stone was al once applied. The stone,
by virtue of it's absorbent nature, adj
hered to the wound, but here it's adj
herence to tradition ended. Both rab-
bits died, and, what was more disap-
pointing, two other rabbits, used as
control experiment" which were in
jected with the same amount of ven
ON, recovered. Nor when the stone was
placed in milk did the milk change
color, though a slight quantity of it
was absorbed.
The amount of absorption that the
stone could possibly effect would be no
more in hours than ordinary suction by
the lips could achieve in a few min
utes; and its only possible usefulness
might be that of improving the physi-

PRIMITIVE BAPTIST
FACTIONS TO RE-UNITE.
Probable Result of the OciIIa Peace
Meeting.


Moultrie, Ga. July 10.-The Moutrie
delegates have returned from the Peace
Meeting of the Primitive Baptists at
Ocilla. and say it was the greatest
gathering of denominational leaders
ever held in South Georgia.
In recent years the denomination
which has a large membership in the
rural districts Of South Georgia, has
been split up In various factions that
have hindered the work and influence
of the Church. Recently a move
ment has been put on foot to bring the
factions together. All the churches Of
each faction were invited TO send rep
resentatives TO a Peace Meeting at
Ocila.
Editor Hossell Of the Gospel Mes
senger. was one of the peacemakers
and submitted a basis of compromise
that was considered at length. No
agreement was reached. but much was
done towards reconciling the factions.
and IL is believed that all the churches
viii eventually come TO the proposed
middle ground and that peace and fell
lowship will be restored.

The Nutritious Peanuts.

There is good reason for the enlarged
cultivation of this excellent nut. From
all accounts the supply does not equal
the demand and prices are bound to
rule at q figure that will make their
cultivation profitable.
The peanut is richer in food elements
than lean beef. 1t has % per cent. of
protein, where beef has only Is per
cent.
As an oil producer it comes second to
the cocoanut.
Peanut butter is becoming very
popular article of food. 1t is said to
possess great merit and for the follow
ing reasons. 1t does not absorb often
sive odors. 1t wristbands a much high
re temperature without melting than

Tahiti when our ancestors were shiv-
ering in holes in the rocks. They div
ed into the sea, brought up great Jumps
of coral, burned them in pits, using
wood as fuel, and mixed the lime they
got in this fashion with sharp sand and
water. With this mixture the ingen-
ious savage plastered the walls and
floor of his house. and a better NOR
tar could not be obtained.
Another purely savage invention,
which is perhaps the most familiar OBJ
ject of modern life, is the tobacco
pipe-not only the common clay which
the North American Indians moulded
centuries ago out of the red sandstone
of Colorado but the wooden pipe, the
prototype of the everyday briar.
