we were frolicing our groves were
speeding onward and upward" !"
Having eaten rather "largely" we
sprawl ourselves "away upon our
backs" on the plaza, and while the
sea breeze from Gulf or Bay, pure
and sweet, fans us, we fulfill the in
junction, seat, sleep, and be merry"
Waking, we wash face and hands
and shoulder our guns and off to a
neighbor who has two grown boys
and several good dogs who are al.
ways ready and willing to make a
"drive" tor deer, it is not uncom-
mon to kill fine old buck, so we
have large potato patch and the
"dead.wood' on lite for a few days.
We may go on cruise to the Keys
and take all the sea turtle and their
eggs that we wish each nest con-
tains about peck Of eggs, while the
meat, fit to salt down as beef, will
weigh over one hundred pounds.
We may visit the rookeries and take
young birds, which are very good
eating. The sea gulls nest on the
sand islands two or three miles from
the keys, and often bushels OF their
eggs are picked up; these are larger
and better than hens eggs. Getting
stone crabs in winter is source OF
pleasure as well as profit. These
often weigh two or three pounds,
and are excellent cooked i'll any way,
but the most tastidious and fancy
dishes may be made from them.
l have spoken of these things
but to give the prospective immi-
grant a complete idea of life on the
Cult coast in the past. The future
looms up before us arrayed in the
splendor of a higher civilization.
The country is settling up and the
slumbering resources are being
brought to light and developed.
Probably the most notable OF these
is gardening torthe northern markets.
Our wonderful superior climatic ad.
vantages will enable us to put our
truck in the markets at time when
