OBSERVATIONS OF BIRDS.

do not think that the enjoyment drawn from
acquaintance with birds is enhanced by
hunting them by stealing their eggs In false sci

Fernandina Mirror: George H. Baer has
proved conclusively that good tobacco can
be raised on Amelia island. Last spring
small lot OF seed of the Vulta Abajo vari-
ETY., furnished by the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, was planted in his
garden on Center street. A complete leaf
OF the product measures 26 inches from end
OF stem to the tip, being 1917 inches across
the widest part. Only a small parcel of
ground was planted, and this will yield
about 400 pounds OF good leaf tobacco, val

and quite number Of gentlemen pledged
themselves to secure that amount.
Winston is another town for Polk county:
IL is the junction of the Winston Lumber
Company and South Florida railroad and
is four miles from Lakeland and six from
Plant City. The Winston Lumber Com
pany railroad will be built twelve or fif-
teen miles TO develop valuable lumber and
phosphate lands. There are several cot
tages aud other buildings going up. The
mill building is As by no feet; the capacity
when completed will be 10000 feet
of lumber per day. There is a
full force of carpenters and machin-
SITS at work on the plant, and the
company wants to commence saving in
ten days. The railroad is graded 81 miles,
and track laying will commence this week
Everything is done up in first-class shape,
which shows that the company has come
to stay. The community is also blessed
with good farmers, men who live at home;
what they sell in the way of garden truck
and oranges is net cash, and everybody is
out of debt.
