For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
The Fence Question Unjust Com
parisOnS.

Writing on the subject OF no-fencelaW
in a recent issue of the Dispatch, Farmer
and Fruit Grower, Mr.. D. W. Adams
makes some comparisons that puts our
State in a bad light in the eyes of those
who are unacquainted with the true state
of things.
OF course, being nothing butan humble
Cracker, cannot express my views in the
polished style SO readily assumed by Mr..
Adams, but trust this will not bias the
reader in making his decision on the mer-
it's of the case, and the arguments ad
vanced.
1t is evident that Mr.. Adams is in favor
of no-fence law so am |, but not now.
Mr.. Adams says: '1n Florida they
fence stock out, in Massachusetts they
fence stock in. Florida has beer settled
3O4 years, Massachusetts 269 years.
Florida has about eight times the amount
of land that Massachusetts has, and it
averages about as poor. The
last census shows that little sterile, ice
bound Massachusetts had $50, ,435 milch
COWS; Florida had but ~, ia. 4"
1t is evident that Mr. Adams wishes to
show up Florida in bad light as COM
pared to Massachusetts. True Florida
has been settled longer than Massa-
chusetts, but, as Mr.. Adams well
knows, the settlers in those early days
were compelled to devote more of their
time to warfare than to the development
of the country. And in rebuttal [ would
remind him that Massachusetts has been
one OF the United States for 113 years,
and has had all the advantages that our
nation could give it's loyal subjects, while
Florida has only had the fostering care
and protection of our government for
seventy EIGHT years. Should this count
as nothing in favor of Massachusetts?
In giving the number ofmilch COWS only
in the two States Mr.. Adams shows an
ineXcusable prejudice. Florida is not
welded to the dairy business, and the few
mich COWS she has are mostly for family
use. admit that Florida has only 49,
LA milch COWS against Massachusetts,
$50, ,435, but | would remind the gentle
man that while Massachusetts fences in
her cattle and Florida fences hers out, it
is no more than ought to be required in
either case, for while Massachusetts has
only 97,O45 cattle of every other kind
than milch COWS, Florida has 400 9,O55.
This readily shows that the cattle busi-
nses of Massachusetts is infnitessimal as
compared with that OF Florida.
Let us carry this comparison little
further as Mr.. Adams has set the exam
pie:
In Massachusetts there is one head of
cattle to every eighteen inhabitants,
while in Florida there is one and half
head of cattle to every inhabitant. Do
you see the difference, Mr.. Adams? In
Massachusetts there would be force of
eighteen people to pen one innocent little
COW, while in Florida every man, woman
and child in the State would becOmpelled
to pen COW and half, 1guratively.
In the matter of hogs the same differ
ence exists in favor of Florida. Poor lit
tie ice-bound Massachusetts has only
80, 1913 and Florida has 2S7 ,O5l. Oh,
YES, | know that Massachusetts pig will
weigh more than Florida razor-back,
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-07-24

Mr.. Adams flies the track and talks OF
the value of farms, farm products, etc. In
the words of the renowned KO-Ko (Who
once heard in Sanford while visiting some
of my city cousins with my wife) this is
like 'sthe flowers that bloom in the spring
1t has 'nothing to do with the case"
Still we will follow the gentleman.
He quotes the value of Massachusetts
FARMS Massachusetts, which has been
under the benefcent protection OF our
great government for one hundred and
thirteen years, and compares them with
Florida, who for centuries was camped
upon the battlefields with hostile Toes in
front, and had no time to devote to the
development of the country, or to the inn
proving OF her resources. | say the COM
parison is unjust, and had Mr.. Adams even
been with us during the latter days of that
dark and bloody period, do not think
that he would have made it. His charity,
his manhood, his sense of justice and the
right would have repelled it, and instead
he would have said: ''Welldone, veterans
and comrades; you have done nobly, and
no country under the sun, even with no.
fence law, could have accomplished what
you have under so many difficulties.
But, unfortunately or fortunately, he
was not with us, but just the same he is
willing to partake of the emoluments in.
cident to our hardships, provided ofcourse
we fence our cattle.
Now, he quotes the value of farms. This
is no criterion of a cOuntry's develop
ment. What has Massachusetts done
during that period of time that Florida
has been undisturbed by war and rumors
OF war?
The last census shows that during the
ten years ending i'll 1880, the value of
Massachusetts farms had only increased
% per cent, while Florida, that misera-
BILE pile of sand which fences out cattle,
had increased 135 per cent. SO long as
this difference exists in favor of the fenc-
ing out process, let us stick to it by all
means.
Mr.. Adams letter contains the follow
ing choice paragraph: "Stop ourgrowth,
| indeed! Pray when did we ever do any
growing worth naming?"
| 1t is evident that Mr. Adams is a stu
| dent of statistics only with one eye, and
| that eye is incumbered with mote of
prejudice. When did we ever do any
| growing? WE'LL in ten years the value of
Ourfarms has grown nearly $50 per cent.
against Massachusetts 23 During the
same length of time our population has
| grown 40 per cent. against MaSsachu-
setts 20. Mr.. Adams will please keep in
mind the fact that Florida fences out her
cattle and Massachusetts fences in hers.
Another thing we wish to compare.
Massachusetts has 214 inhabitants to
every square mile; Florida has only four
ffths of an inhabtant to every square
mile. Consequently Florida has a vast
quantity OF land not in cultivation, and
which will never be, owing to it's charac-
ter, and which is only valuable as grazino
| land.

beautiful specimen of the Tarpon which
attracted so much attention at Cincin
natl last summer is also here, together
with the most approved paraphernalia
used in taking this silver king. The
Plant Steamship Line is appropriately
represented by an oil painting of the
Steamship Olivette. The tobacco inter
est is well represented by exhibits OF
cigars and leaf tobacco from HillsbOr-
ough, Citrus and Gadsden counties.
1t is absolutely correct to say that
Florida's exhibit attracts more general
attention and more favorable comment
| than any other single exhibit in the
| American section. This is of course very
gratifying to the projectors and promot-
ers of the display and OF great value to
the State We have been honored with
visits from many distinguished persons,
first among which may be mentioned
M. CarnOt, President of the French Re-
| public, who came accompanied by several
of his cabinet ministers. M. CarnOt ex
pressed surprise that such excellent corn
as we displayed grew in Florida. The
quality of Florida grown corn was also a
matter of great surprise to the farmers
of the Ohio Valley and Central States at
Cincinnati last summer. Some days after

| Ybor & Co.'S best cigars and they were re-
ceived with very expressive grunts of sat-
isfaction; as no deaths have since been re-
ported from the camp, the Indian prob
lem remains unsolved.
Among the Floridians who have visi-
ted us are Mr.. Geo. Wilson and wife, of
Ocala; Mr.. Carpenter, of Orando Col.
Dutton and Mr. Robinson, of Gainesville;
while Col. Haldeman, of Tallahassee, re-
mains with us and hOnored as a member
of the Jury. Mr.. Plant, whose vast in.
terests in Florida identify him so closely
with the State has been here some weeks,
prominent member of the Jury and in
defatigably at work for Florida. The
weight of years prevents Mr.. Plant from
following all his kindly impulses, but no
one is working more actively and success
fully for Florida's interests than he, and
it is certain that Florida owes more of
her industrial development and CONNER
cial prosperity to him than to any other
living man. Every exposition held in re-
cent years that has exhibited to the
world Florida's resources and attrac-
tions has been very largely and in some
cases wholly paid for by Mr.. Plant. 1t

AZ QUESTION OF DIPLOMACY.
Minister Strauss Successful in a Delicate
Mission at Constantinople.

Minister Strauss successful In Uencate
Mission at ConstantinOple.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Depart
ment of State has received a dispatch from
Minister Strauss, at Constantinople, dated
March q last, saying that the local author
tiles at Istubigo, province of Beirut, had
closed the American missionary schools
there, and that the Mayor of Baalbek,
province of Damascus, contemplated closing
similar schools at seven of the towns under
his jurisdiction. This action of the author
tiles was based upon the ground that the
schools had not received the necessary per-
NIT from the local authorities, and that the
managers had declined to stipulate to ex-
clude Moslem children.
Mr.. Strauss Immediately called upon the
Grand Vizier, explaining with reference to
the first objection that while the school man
ayers had complied fully with the require
ments in such matters, the local authorities
had neglected to issue the permit for such
schools as provided by the regulations;
while as to the second, the managers de-
clined to enter into the stipulation not to
admit Moslem children.
Mr.. Strauss efforts with the Grand Tizier
were entirely successful, and resulted in
telegram from that official to the Governors
General of Damascus and Beirut, to reopen
the school at Istubigo and not to interfere
with any American schools in their re-
spective provinces, but to refer complaints,

A Badly Decomposed Corpse Discovered

LITTLE ROCK, April 17.-To-day at noon
Coroner Bond was called to investigate the
cause Of the death of a man found in Fourche
bayou, some five miles south of this city,
near the Valley route railroad bridge over
that stream. The body proved to be that of
a white man, well dressed In black cork
screw cloth with blue overalls over his pam
falcons , The body was in an advanced
state of decomposition, from at least
months decay in the water, thereby render
ing it impossible for any description of the
face to be given. There was found on the
body $50 in coin, draft for $500 drawn by
George f. Jordan, Cashier of the Sherman
County Bank, Goodland, Kas., bearing
date OF February %, 1889, in favor of F. B.
Stone, on the National Exchange Bank of
Kansas City, Mo.
Besides these articles there were found a
railway ticket from Malvern to Little Rock,
a card of the New Richmond Hotel, Hot
Springs, printed baggage check issued by
the Kansas City Union Depot Company to
Hot Springs. Owing to the condition of the
body the Coroner had it buried on the bank
of the stream. About month ago, Magis-
trate F. A. Fulton, of this city, was a pas
senger on an incoming train, and he says he
saw a man jump off this bridge and sink. 1t
is supposed it was the man whose body was
found to-day.

jte With His Jailer.

ite With His Jailer.
An industry quite extensively prosecuted
in some local option districts, may be ex-
pected to develop in this city after the 18th
of June, should the State go dry. W. G.
McEldowney. Esq, lately made tour OF
Fayette and Greene counties, and in the
former he found dry district
where Clark, the young man under
sentence of death for the murder of Nc
Causland, the cattle dealer, once ran
travelling saloon. He was pretty generally
known, and did thriving trade at times.
He carried whisky tank about him, and
made regular rounds among the thirsty,
selling a considerable amount of the ardent
daily. As he paid neither rent nor license,
he was able to give satisfaction and make
large profit by giving a generous drink of
good stuff for 10 cents. 1t would seem,
however, that Clark wasn't satisfied with
comparative safety and reasonable gains,
and so came to grief.
Most drinkers are inclined to think that
if the Prohibition amendment may prevail
they will still be able to secure collie cure
in some way.
In another town Mr.. McEldowney found
a man in Jail for selling whisky. He was
a favorite with the authorities and was
given the position of usher. By and
by McEldowney met the fellow at
club and was rather astonished to
find that he frequently spent the evenings
out among his friends on parole. On this
particular night, the society of the club was
potent to keep him until late hour and on
his return to the Jail he found the doors
locked against him. To all his appeals for
admission the hard-hearted jailor turned q
deaf ear and the unfortunate man was
forced to spend the night with his family.
