Mr.. j. c. Kemper, OF this city. the champion
hog raiser Of Florida, last week killed four Po-
land China pigs sixteen months old. that aver
aged 4l6 pounds net He killed one. over two
wears old, thai tipped the beam at 6Ol pounds
net. Mr. Kempers experience demonstrates be-
yond doubt that og-raising can be made profit
able in Middle Florida. With proper care and
attention every farmer in this section can raise
his own meat, and raise il much cheaper than he
can buy Western meat.
Mr. j. d. Pepper, OF Bradfordville, Left at
the FLoRIDIAN Office last Saturday lot Of fine
japonicas, among which was cluster Of three
distinct varieties on single stem, one being
purely white, one pale pink, with very deli
cate and peculiar shacing of deeper tint, while
the third was variegated, having two hues,
bright pink and pure white, the trio forming
rare and beautiful cluster of those choice and
much priced flowers. which are so abundant in
this section of Florida, where they attain won
derful perfection and beauty.
Every housewife should know, says an sx-
change, that sugar boiled with an acid, if it be
but three minutes, will be converted into glu-
cose, which is the form of sugar found in sweet
apples. One pound of sugar has as much sweet
ening power as two pounds of glucose. In other
words, one pound of sugar stirred into the fruit
after it is cooked, and while yet warm, will make
the fruit as sweet as two and quarter pounds
added while the fruit is boiling. Save your su
gar by chemical knowledge 1t is an establish
ed fact that il the fruit is sweetened when il is
hot it requires much less sugar than if sweetened
when cold.
Reports have been circulated at different
times to the effect that the Leon Hotel was full
and refusing to rect i've more guests. In order TO
ascertain The facts in this matter, we made in
quiry at the office Of the Lem on Saturday, and
we're informed BY DIR. German, Chief Clerk, that
there was not a word of truth in said rumors.
Though the Leon has generally had all that could
be accommodated with comfort and satisfaction
10 guests and landlord, no one has ever been
sent away to seek accommodations elsewhere.
All the hotels and boarding houses in Tallahas
see are doing good business, but there is ample
room and irst-class accommodations for all who
may wish to visit the Hill City of Florida
From the letter of" W. II. B - the Tallahas-
see correspondent of the Savannah NeDs, we ex
tract the following true bill" GAS have be-
fore had occasion to remark, the growing strength
of the temperance movement is observable in the
largely diminished number of the members of the
presen, Legislature who indulge in the flowing
BOWL There has probably never bt fore assem-
bled bsdy of men within the walls of the CAPT
tol, who have been so remarkably abstemious in
this respect In this they have done themselves
and the State great honor, and have set an ad-
mirable example. l can frankly say that have
not, during The entire session, seen a single mem
Der of either house under the influence of ardent
spirits, even within or without the capitol In
this feature the present Legislature presents a
marked contrast to Others and has no parallel"
Two gentlemen now in this city, stopping at
the ST. James, spent few days in Jacksonville
before coming to Tallahassee. While in the me-
lropois of Florida they heard the "old, old
story" of Tallahassee, her uncivilized inhabi-
Iants, worthless surrounding country, Middle
Florida ruff1anism, and many other things that
were not true. These silly misrepresentation
were repeated TO them so often that they became
Disguised with their rehearsal and their malicious
authors. When they arrived at Tallahassee and
found that the place, the people and the fine hill
country Of Middle Florida had been 30 mali
ciously slandered they became indignant, and
one Of them yesterday remarked that those who
were so impudently and mendaciously working
to keep people from coming to this desirable
section of Florida, deserved 10 be shot," This
gentleman says he knows several persons who
have been prevented from coming to Middle Flor
ida simply by the voluntary and unfavorable re-
ports made TO them in Jacksonville concerning
this people and this country. This is all wrong,
and is deprecated by all who have the general
welfare of the State-the whole State-at heart
All FlOridians should unite to secure the rapid
settlement and development Of all portions Of
the State, 10 eradicate sectional jealousee, and
to crush out those who, actuated solely from
mercenary motives, lie in favor of one section
and against another. and thus doubly deceive
strangers Tell the truth, and none will be de-
ceived
