Years ago there lived a couple of
darkies several states north of this who
used to make frequent incursions on hen
roosts. One night they were plying their
trade and a religious train of thought
enYeloped the mind of the one up in the
tree, and he in soto voice said to his
partner below: ''Sambo, it's wrong to
clean up dis here hen roost." "Nebb+r
mind de 'sponsibility oh dis year 'c+sion, :"
said his partner below, than me down
'nodeT pullet." Some of the lineal de-
scendants of the latter speaker must live
in this vicinity, for night after night they
are breaking the eighth commandment
in a decidedly vigorous manner. Well
arranged hen houses and the best of pad
locks do not seem to retard their pro.
giess when one or more Of the feathered
tribe is The object in view. These ebon-
lied editions of original sin will go to the
church house six nights in the week,
sing, shout and pray, and on the seventh
rise pullet with rapidity and ease.

The fruit growers Of Florida seem to be
divided among themselves. They have
too many organizations They all claim
to be horticulturists, but one wing goes
off to the home market another to the
fruit exchange and so on.
AS Bro. Painter of the DsLand Agricul-
turist aptly says: 'There must be q con-
solidation of the orgasizasions." When
consolidation is brought about let them
come under the wings Of the State Horti-
cultural Society, which 3 . power. Do

For the Weekly FloTloian
In referring to the many resources of
our part of the state, it seems as though
poultry has been overlooked or else it has
been thought 10 be rather too small a
business interest to be worthy of consid-
Grafton. 1t is not really the latter, " hen
you consider the poultry industries of
the United States amounts to over $780,
coo, O0O-a sum greater than the pork,
beef, wheat or corn interests. Looking
at it from this standpoint one can readily
understand what vast field for enter
prise and pluck is opened up.
Nowhere In the whole G untry is there
n place better adapted for such an enter
pri&A than in our beautiful bill country,

purpose of the red clover of the northern
