William Grantham Of Waukeenah, In
Jefferson county, has a hen that laid very
large, long egg the other day. Mr.. Grant
ham decided as the egg was so uncommon
looking that he would blow it out and save
the she'll, and on 80 doing he found the large
egg to contain a well-shaped egg with as
firm a shell as the first He has not blown
out the inside egg vet. He also has guinea
egg in the shape Of a carrot, with crooked

Some time ago about fifteen OF the vege-
table growers gardening in Terra Celia bay,
about two miles north of Palmetto. and on
Terra Celia Island, formed themselves into
u company and sent for "a plant" for Dor
ing artesian wells for the purpose Of trri-
eating their vegetable farms. The first
well, three inches in diameter, has just been
completed and seems TO be a complete sue
cess. 1t was bored 80 depth OF about $50
feet and will force water out OF a 3-inch
pipe twenty-five feet above the surface
Tho flow Of water was turned into 80
gallon barrel and 1t filed the barrel In just
thirty seconds, showing flow OF 100 gal
Ions per minute. The well cost 1925, and
the party for whom 1t was bored still owns
a one-fifteenth interest in the machinery.
o. NJ. Crosby, the great Avon Park
boo jtakt nTY1a tod h{rr Las
deal with W. E. Pabor, editor of the Col
orddo Farmer and Fruit GrolUer, in which
q / ,000-acre tract OF valuable land was in
volved. Mr.. Pabor proposes to establish a
colony at Avon Park at once. He is one OF
the founders OF the town of Greeley, in Coll
orado, and other successful colonies, and
will doubtless make as great a success of his
Florida venture. He has contemplated this
movement for come time, and was sent by a
number Of prospective emigrants to Hondu-
ras to see the country with a view TO o1lo-
niztnR there. His impressions, however,
were very favorable to such move, and be
reported that it was not a suitable country
for white Americans to live in. He there
upon bought the Avon Park property and
will probably settle 100 families on 1t this
winter. They will come mostly from Cali
fornia and Colorado, and some from
Chicora.
