THE COWBOY OF FLORIDA.-Visiting
the stores for the sake of provisioning the
craft, the principal business of Fort Myers
was at once discernible from the array OF
saddles and brides exhibited. Around
this point and from many prairie and jun
gle in the neighborhood cattle are brought
in for shipment to Punta Rassa, to be sent
from thence to Key West and Cuba. A
good many gaunt lads, lounging about IN
high boots, with jingling spurs, showed
the peculiarities of their calling, TOR they
whether the cowboy of the West is recruit
ed entirely from the country where he herds
or drives his cattle, but the Floridan cowboy
is indigenous to the soil. Hard work and
plenty of it, at times with poor food; a
facilitating climate and many musqultos
have made them feshless. Driving cattle
in the West is certainly no child'S play, but
in this portion the task must be a particu-
larly difficult one from the nature of the
country. TO scamper at full speed across
the country in quest of "bunch" OF cattle
must endanger their necks. Through the
palmetto cabbages, through the thick tan
ole of vines, across the boggy flats, driving
into the pine thickets, the soil burroWed by
the gophers, the cattle hunter spurs his
horse. Perhaps it is the mount which
ought to be as much pitied as any of the
animals, the horse, the boy, or the bull.
Western horses barely stand the hard work,
and are used up in a season. Anything
like high-legged animal comes to grief in
very short order. The horse wanted for
work is the small, scrubby animal born and
bred in Florida He seems to be capable
of withstanding any amount of hard SER
vice. Certainly, the Florida cattle OF this
section are the poorest specimens of the bo-
vino raca known Thew present, save
about their legs, few traces of merit. Hav-
ing not much weight to carry, their speed
is for a short burst enough to blow a horse.
Fancy cattle whose live weight will aver
age $50 pounds Correspondence Ne'o YORK.
