MORTALITY DURING FEBRUARY

Forty-Five Deaths Reported During
the Month to Registrar Madden.
During the month of February the
deaths in Waterbury decreased almost
one-half from the month of January.
The la grippe seems to have lost its grip
here, and the number of it's victims is
very small. Pneumonia and consump-
ton lead the numbdr of deaths with SIX
each. Four are credited to heart dis
ease, three each to bronchitis and diph-
iberia, one to whooping cough and one
suicide. All other causes except still
births 81. making total of Al. Under
five years of age there were twelve. and
three still births. This record would not
make an average of two deaths a day,
and considering the large decrease from
the previous month Waterbury can be
considered to be in healthful condition.

Feed Bag for Horses.

So many persons, now feed LllcIr horses
at noon from nose bags that the best
form is essential to understand THIS
straight nose bag, when the animal puts
up his head, allows much feed to fall
out. The one we now show was first
suggested in The Globe, and will obviate
the difficulty, for the reason that one
side forms a kind of pocket. preventing
the food from dropping out.

The bag ought to be made of canvas
with ventilator, as is usual, and is pro

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Profitable Farming in West Florida.


What can a farmer do in Florida? Is
an inquiry often seen in the agricultural
papers of the State. Now for the infor-
nation of some of those seekers after the
truth and homes, | propose to tell you
some of the things done here in Jackson
county and leave the selection of homes
to themselves.
On Ochessee lake, eighteen miles south
east Of Mariana lives Mr.. Isaac King,
who made on his farm last year with five
plows, 1--WE don't count acres much, we
count plows) forty bales of short staple
cotton, six thousand bushels OF corn and
seventy-fve barrels of syrup. He had
expected hundred barrels from twelve
acres in cane, but the drouth struck
it in bad time, twas there ever good
time?) and the yield was not all he had
hoped for. The ground peas, field peas,
counted in, nor the corn fodder, but SUI
ficient for his wants forhis stock, and for
seed. He raises all the meat he wants,
and of course lard, butter, poultry, beef
and everything that should be in farm
er's catalogue. The old fashion sausage
and head cheese in his wife's old time
smoke house, is enough to make ones
mouth water to think about.
Having known this gentleman well for
many years, a brief sketch ofhis ''rise and
progress in the way of farming may be
of some interest to those desiring to
make start in the same direction.
Eighteen years ago he bought little
over hundred acres of land on the Dor
der of Ochessee lake, where he now re-
sides. 1t was purchased on time. lie
had wife and three children, and in the
way of stock. pony, an OK and a few
hogs. His land was to clear and houses
to be built. He soon put up log cabin
with two rooms, with hall or passage
between, and kitchen, and went to work
on his land. For the first two or three
years he would buy horse or mule in the
spring, pillow it until his crop was finished
and sell in the fall for money enough to
pay for it, and sometimes little over.
At length he was able to purchase good
serviceable mare and then he began to
raise his own horses and still continues
to do So He has sold several colts and
still has enough to run five plOws, be-
sides a good buggy horse. He has an
abundance of cattle, plenty of hogs and
a hundred or two head of sheep. Cannot
a man with will make living in West
Florida? This man does not go in debt
now, and owns four orfive hundred acres
of land.
little estimate of the three staple
articles of his farm will not be without
interest to those wishing to engage in
farming. Forty bales of cotton, 500
pounds to the bale, at eight cents. though
sold at nine, would give 81, 900; seventy
five barrels of syrup, thirty-six gallons
to the barrel, at twenty cents per gallon,
would give $40; a thousand bushels of
corn at fifty cents per bushel, would give
$50O-total $2.64O. OF course all the
corn and all the syrup are not for sale;
but meat, lard, poultry, beef, mutton,
butter, sweet potatoes and even fodder
for stock are not to be bought with the

NOT A RAINBOW CHASER.
Mr.. Depew Denies Rumors About His Resig-
nation and Quest of the Presidency.

NEW YORK. March PRESIDENT Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew was seen to-day at his Office.
in the Grand Central Depot. with regard to
a report that appeared in q morning paper
that he was about to resign his position
with the New York Central. in view of his
probable nomination for the presidency of
the United States by the Republican party.
A good deal of the bonhomie that usually
characterizes Mr.. Depew was not apparent.
Although courteous as ever. he seemed q
good deal chagrined as he spoke of the mat
ter. He said: Il have read the story you
refer to- 1t is mere fabrication, as void
of foundation as the baseless fabric of q
vision. Mr. Depew is not in the habit of
throwing up good thing until he sees his
way to a better one. have an honorable
position and a satisfactory income, and am
not going to throw them up to chase
dreams or rainbows, and that reply covers
the entire story" And DR.. Depew bowed
the reporter out In his usual graceful
style.

cage, the old Arsenal Building. Central
Park, this morning of consumption. Yes
terday Jake Cook. her keeper, noticed that
her appetite was beginning to fail. She
had been in the habit of eating a
pound of grapes every day, but YES
terday she ate only half o pound
this with evident difficulty. All night
long Jake watched by the bedside of his
charge, holding her hands and trying to
soothe her. She suffered greatly, and fire.
quently tried to expand her chest. while
she looked beseechingly at her faithful
friend as if begging him to relieve her. At
2:40 o'clock she arose suddenly, turned
away from her keeper, and fell to the floor
gasping for breath. Jake quickly raised
her head, but saw in amOment that she was
dead.
When Miss Kittle arrived she was but
two years old. In accordance with the tra-
ditions of the chimpenzeef family. marriages
between members of that family must not
take place until each of the contracting
parties are four years old. A courtship of
two years was, therefore. in prospect for

few days afterwards, pneumonia set in.
His lungs had always been weak, and, on

oils. Thus was the prospective JOY of
Miss Kittie turned to grief.
Miss Kittie has been accustomed to hold
public daily receptions in front of her cage
from $50 A. NJ. to 4:30 p. M. and thousands of
nurse girls and children, besides good
sized quota from the rest of the Empire
City's population, have each month stood In
