waste or overflowed creeK land. If the rows are seven feet apart and the trees six feet in the row it will take 1000 to the acre, then st i've years old you can cut four. five or six hum dred out for round fence posts and let the others grow to make ties or bug gy or wagon timber. A good post IS now worth 25 cents Suppose only 800 live and grow. then you can cut out the 400, selling for $100, or $2O per annum per acre for your overflow land and keep the other four hundred for ties and two posts lower cut for ties and the upper cut for posts in say five years more and the sprouts from the first four hundred cut and sold will have made 400, possibly 500 more posts ready for the Panhandle, where they can't grow them.
 Again, I suggest you set the nursery lust on the north side of the barn and leave enough trees there to make a good wind-break and just north of this wind-break set 1000 plants of Texas bluegrass if you want green grass all winter for the chickens, pigs, colts, etc.
 Make your rows in the bois darc nursery four, five, or six feet apart and sow the seed one, two or three inches in the row, and keep clean of weeds and grass. In transplantlng take up all the smooth straight trees and leave the crooks and ruuts to make the wind brake.

Feeainr cnannrn.

Cassava is a crop little known in Alabama outside of the souther ntier of counties. The plant looks little like a castor bean plant. It is valued Son account of it's long roots, which are rich in starch. hence a valuable food. This plant is used in temperate eli mates chiefly for hog food, but may be fed to any animals. In the tropics 1t is largely used as human food The cui- tivation of cassava is not recommend ed north of the southern third of Alas bama.
 A farmer near Mobile who has this year grown a very satisfactory crop of cassava, asks about feeding 1t to horses and hogs Answering his inquiry as to whether cassava can be contin- dousiy fed to mules and horses In. the place of corn, would say that the most convincing data are afforded by an experiment made by the Florida Ex- pertinent Station. In this test horses consumed about ten pounds of cassava per day. this being as a substitute for half of the usual amount of corn, and being supplemented by about five pounds of corn per day and a full. feed of beggarweed hay. On this the horses maintained their weight while work ing Cassava was not as palatable or eaten in as large amounts as were swet potatoes. It was estimated that three pounds or sweet potatoes were equal fin that test to one pound of corn. and that cassava was a little more nutritious than sweet potatoes.
 Hogs can be safely fed on all the cassava they can eat. Since cassava is poor in nitrogen 1t would be best to feed the hogs some COW peas while eating eassava. am very much inter- ested in your success in cassava and especially In your getting good stand, the stand being the usual dif1culty.
