being factor of Importance in under
takings OF the kind. attention has been
directed towards ascertaining to what
extent there remain in Leon County,
areas, peculiarly fitted for the business,
and as yet unemployed.
1t is found to be true that in the north
half OF the county, the presence OF so
many clear water lakes, spring heads
and small streams With their ever ada
cent moist shores and meadow margins,
leave scarcely an area Of 900 acres any
where without permanent grass and
water sufficient to maintain, throughout
the year, focks or herds of consideraLl e
dimensions.
There are indeed on the meadow lands
adjacent to Lakes Jackson, Iamonia,
Forshala, Miccosukie, Overstreet, Hall
and Lafayette, thousands of grass
grown acres now practically idle and
unoccupied Immediately adjacent to fer
tile cultivated uplands, whose pt culiar
fitness for the purposes in question, are
being recognized and will in early course
OF time be devoted to select herds.

much enhanced within the ten years last
past, are still devoid of any thing like in

December Is, when the general crop may

ties are a passable, Or even acceptable
table fruit. They cannot be called ripe
in any proper sense, for they have to be

at this season is due to the absence of
acid in their makeup, rather than to the
maturity Of their juices. For this reason
they are never high favored; when fully
