It find it easier to answer some in-
quiries through the Shippers’ Guide
than to answer the parties separately.
I planted my first crop of cassava last
year in small patches on the 14th, 15th
and 19th of March, and a very small
amount on May Gth. 1 find that a thor-
ough preparation of the soil and fertil-
izing are beneficial in growing cassava
as with other crops. Cultivation
should be shallow from the beginning.
I used sweep, harrow and hoe. Cultiva-
tion should be very frequent in order
to keep down weeds and grass and
cause a rapid growth. With this fre-
quent cultivation and a little warm,
clear weather the plants will in a
short time shade the ground so per-
fectly that no further cultivation is
necessary. My March plantings made
good crops, except that 1 did not get
good stands. My May planting made
canes well enough matured for seed
and a fair quantity of roots. I com-
menced feeding October 1st and am
still feeding. In the February freeze
the mercury went dowu here to about
12 degrees above zero, which froze a
few of the shallowest roots and caused
them to rot. Soil for cassava should
be loose and well drained. Any first-
class sweet potato soil is good. It is
all right for the subsoil to be firm, pro-
vided it is loose a sufficient, depth to
hold moisture, as this firm soil pre-
vents the roots from penetrating too
deep. The greatest difficulty in grow-
ing cassava is in getting a stand.
This difficulty can be overcome by
cutting your cane into pieces with not
Snap Beans.
As soon as beans attain full size and i
the seed about one-half matured in the |
pod, they should be picked; if picked;
before they will schrivll up and be- j
come unsaleable; if too old, too tough!
for use. Picking should be done every
oilier day.
Beans carry best in one-third bushel
boxes or one-hr.If bushel baskets. The J
express companies roust take ten one-]
third bushel boxes for l»>y pounds, j
less than three good eyes. Plant these
in beds like bedding sweet potatoes.
After the canes have sprouted well,
take up, clip young roots as you would
onions, set in well prepared soil, four
feet each way, and cover not more
than four inches.
I cannot say how much might be
grown to the acre, but am sure that ment we prefer the one ‘bushel boxes
it is an easy matter to grow’ ten tons. ; containing about eight dozen each.
I grew hills the past season to weigh Bushel boxes of cucumbers go by ex
Cucumbers.
After cucumbers have attained near-
ly their full growth they should be
pulled from the vines and taken to the
packing shed for assortment, discard-
ing any which show the lightest col-
or of yellow. For express shipments
pack in one-third bushel boxes, which
hold from two to three dozen. The
third bushel boxes go by express at
fifteen pounds each. For carlot ship-
over 19 pounds. Counting 2700 hills to
the acre, with an average of 10 pounds
and you would have thirteen and a half I
tons.
Although cassava is a heavy eropor, j
it does not exhaust the soil rapidly.
It is claimed by those who have tried
press at forty pounds, and fifty pounds
by freight. Four hundred bushel wiil
make a carload of 20,000 pounds. All
markets, both state and interstate, are
good on cucumbers early In the sea-
son and when properly packed and
shipped cucumbers are a profitable
crop. Write to cur advertisers when
it that by rotating cassava and velvet * 1 you are about ready to ship for further
beans that the two can be successfully “
grown on the same land for at least a
very great time. I have no seed for
sale, but hope to have next season.

Potatoes.
Irish potatoes
should be dug or

shine. Some experienced potato grow-
ers of Texas are so particular about
this that they will only dig potatoes
late in the evening so as to avoid sun-
shine as much as possible. Irish po-
tatoes should be thoroughly cleaned
from all dirt and carefully assorted
as to size. Special machines are on
the market for this purpose and we

Don’t Be Afraid of Originality.
Do not be afraid of being original,
even eccentric. Be an independent,
self-reliant, new man, not just one
more individual in the world. Do not
be a copy of your grandfather, or your
father, or of ycdr neighbor. That is as
foolish as for a violet to try to be like
a rose, or for a daisy to ape a sun-
flower. Nature has given each a pecul-
iar equipment for its purpose. Every
man is born to do a certain work in
an original way. If he tries to copy-
some other man, or to do some other
man's work, he will be an abortion, a
misfit, a failure.
Do not imitate even your heroes.
Scores of young clergymen attempted
to make their reputation by imitating
Beecher. They copied his voice and
conversation, and imitated his ges-
tures and his habits, but they fell as
far short of the great man’s power as
the chromo falls short of the master-
piece. Where are those hundreds ol
imitators new? Not one of them has
ever made .any stir in the world.—Ori-
son Sweit Marden in “Success Maga*
zine.” ,
Melons (Canteloupe.)
'Canteloupes should be pulled from
the vines about tw’o days before they
are ripe. In crating take hold of the
melon so that the thumb rests on one
end, and the second and third fingers
on the other, and by a slight pressure
you can readily detect any “soft ends,”
which must be thrown out. Now you
look the melon all over for any faults
that may appear, and if it is O. K.,
place it solidly in the crate, taking
care not to bruise it, and at the same
time to have the crate well filled, so
there is not a loose nrnlon in it. Do
not put in a green melon, and make
it a rule to put in only what you would
be willing to buy. Get the crates intt
the icc-d car as soon as possible, ii
to go by freight.
The standard crate is 12x12x24
inches and the standard pack is 45
melons to the crate.
As there is no estimated weights on
canteloupes the express companies
charge fifty pounds for each crate,
which is entirely too much and we dc
not advise the shipping of canteloupes
out of the state by express as there is
no money in It. Thousands of crates of
canteloupes could be sold In northern
markets if a reasonable express rate
could be obtained, as it is. even if they
sell at high prices, the charges absorb
all profit. We advise to ship came
loupes in car lots only, fer carlot ship-
ments read our article on page 2 of
this paper.

What the Dentist Says.
Toledo, Ohio, March 27th—(Special.)
—Harry T. Lewis, the well known den-
tist of 607 Sumit street, this city, is
telling of his remarkable cure of Kid-
ney Disease by using Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
"I was flat on my back and must
say I had almost given up all hope
of ever getting any help,” says Dr.
Lewis.
“My kidneys had troubled me for
years. The pains in my back were
severe and I had to get up several
times at night. I tried different medi-
cines but kept on getting worse till
I was laid up.
“Then a friend advised me to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills and in about two
weeks I started to improve. Now I
am glad to admit I am cured and I
car.not praise Dodd’s Kidney Pills too
bighiy.”
If you take Dodd’s Kidney Pills
when your kidneys first show’ signs of
being out of ordgir you will never have
Bright’s Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy,
Gravel or Rheumatism.
