The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-11-08

"Florida needs men who will
produce something and add 1ntrln-
sic value to the land by cultivatlng
and improving it; men who get
up early in the morning and work
six days in the week; men who Will
not be contented merely 20 scratch
the ground and make bare living
but who will pillow deep and cult
vate thoroughly and keep the top
soil mixed with the sub-soil, and
keep gathered up all the loose cap
ital lying around the barnyard and
cart it to the field, spreading 1t
broadcast on the land. In a few
years he will have a soil a foot
deep that will yield bountiful crops,
which will make everything COM
Portable and happy around him,
and hard times and class legisla
ton will vanish" Good homes
and good lands and respectful
treatment are guaranteed to all
who will come to Florida and carry
out the above line Of cultivation.

Florida's Varieties OF Products.

The versatility of production of
Florida is one OF it's best features,
but it is one that our people do not
appreciate or they would test it
more generally by practical exper
iments.
The Industrial American, refer
ring to the increased acreage given
to grapes in this State, expresses
surprise at the wide range of pro-
ducts and suggests that ''the future
of Florida can only be surmised
when we consider the many varie-
ties of products that can success
fully be produced. The orange,
lemon, pineapple, pear, peach,
plum, grape, strawberry, cotton,
corn, oats, rice, tobacco, beef, NUT
ton, pork, wool, honey, tannin
from the palmetto, lumber, phos
phate, and a long list of other
things, which, if given that care
and attention necessary to make
farm successful in Kentucky, Ohio,
INDIANA, LIMOS or any OlIleI
Northern State, will bring larger
profits to the laborer than can be
obtained by the same effort in any
of the Western or Northern
States"
This is just what the Times has
always contended, and if we can
get the facts of the case before the
farmers of the West who are
wearied of working half the year
to live the other half, we can Sc
cure capital and housekeepers that
will develop the State rapidly and
put Florida as far in advance of
other States in particulars noted as
she has been in the rear heretofore.

FIR uit Claims at the Fair

IT would be pity to allow the
L Worlds Fair to pass into his
tory without quoting the claims
which the California people have
made for the profit of their fruit in
dustry under irrigation. For these
claims are about the biggest thing
at the big Exposition. They will
strike many readers as absurd, but
they arc not absurd at all. Of
course, the most favorable instances
have been sought Out for exhibition
on such an occasion, and the least
favorable have been carefully kept
in the background, but the fact re-
mains that the business Of raising
fruit on small farms by irrigation
in Southern California has been
remarkably prosperous and that its
prosperity has been distributed
with very even hand. The state
ments that follow are applicable in
modified form to the fruit indus
try of Southern Arizona and New
Mexico and the irrigated portions
of Oregon and Washington. They
are even applicable in a measure
to the best possibilities of the bus
mess in Utah, Colorado and Idaho,
where the seasons are SO much
shorter. Southern California, up
to this time, has approach nearer
- to the realization of the small farm
under ideal conditions than any
other locality. Irrigation and the
little farm have her, though some
thing must be conceded to semi
tropical climate. Here are the
claims exhibited in the book given
away at the Fair:

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Great Fortunes Rising Like
Monuments.
How Millionaires Succeed in
Piling Up Enormous Wealth.
Not Difficult for Anyone to Follow their
Example.

1t is popularity supposed that few men
like Gould, Vanderbilt and Astor repre-
sent the rich men of the country.
This is q great mistake. There are thou
sands upon thousands of millionaires'
men SO rich that they cannot possibly
spend the interest upon their vast &C.
foundations. Every city, every town,
every community has them it is they
who represent the wealth of our country,
on account of their numbers.
Now if 80 many men succeed, what IL
the true secret of that success?
Two words answer-energy and health.
Any man of indomitable energy and
perseverance, who is well can succeed.
All, there is the rub-who is well.
Men haye the energy and ability te sue
coed, but they do not possess the requisite
health-that strength of the nerves, vigor
of the mind and endurance and tireless-
ness which alone make men succeed.
They feel languid, even weak at times
and lack snap and ambition; they know
they have the necessary ability. but their
energies need rousing. In some cases the
stomach, liver and bowels are at fault, OF
possibly the kidneys are out of order.
Nine times out of ten, however. it is lack
of nerve strength, nerve vigor, and nerve
power.
Numberless men who have ample vieor
at first break down In health from the ex-
cessIve strain upon their nervous and
physical systems, as did the well-known
Is. w. Nourse. Esq, of Hudson. Mass
He strikes the key note of the difficulty,
and his advice, if followed, will put men
on the sure road to wealth.

THREE-ToED GAME.
The Tapir Is Difficult Animal TO Fin
and to Capture.

The Tapir Is q Difficult Animal TO Find
and to Capture.
In the wilder part of South America
you can bag deer or wild hog al
most any day if you set wisely about 1t,
but months may pass without even the
sight of tapir, though you may be In
their haunts continually.
You see plenty of unmistakable three
toed tracks, and now and again you
may hear tapirs moving in the forest
not leaping through openings between
the vines and branches as deer does,
nor pushing the brush aside like q
jaguar. but crushing their way by sheer
strength, with a great cracking OF
twigs, says st. Nicholas
1t is almost useless to follow traoks
or sound; clumsy as the animals appear,
they can race through the underbrush
faster than a dog can follow. and they
are so keen of sight and scent and so
prone to concealment that even the
most experienced hunter rarely catches
sight of one In the daytime, unless by
accident. The best plan Is to lie In
wait for them, as the 1.-THE and crafty
jaguar does, by their drinking and
watering places, and this must be done
at night
| may as well add here that tapirs
are common all over South and Gem
trail America except the thiclly-settled
regions and the Pacific coast. Natural
lists distinguish several species, differ
ing mainly In size and the structure Of
the bones, but they are much alike. All

Romance and Tragedy on the Frontier
Border of Texas.
1.-THE most pathetic scene ever wit
messed, said Texas judge to repre-
sentative of the ST. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. twas third of century ago, but
II is as plain to my eyes to-day as it was
then. We had been bothered by horse
thieves down on the frontier, and you
know what that means in wild coun-
try a crowd of us started out after
the seoundrels, and just before we
reached the Rio Grande we saw two
horsenen off to the left, who acted sus-
piciously. Alter them we went, and il
was a pretty race for awhile till they
disappeared behind a clump of trees.
We had shot to stop them, and when
we got in sight again we found that one
horse had been shot, and they had de-
serted him, while both were riding the
other. They were evidently Mexicans
"a man and a boy-and the man
showed fight, turning and firing at us
finally hitting our deputy sheriff. We
gained on them rapidly, and presently
well-directed fire sent them all In heap.
When we reached them the boy was
kneeling in front of the dying Mexican,
sobbing and moaning as If her heart
would break, while her hair, which had
fallen from her cap, fell below her
waist. 1t was case of elopement, and
they had taken us for her fathers serv-
ants, while we had been equally stupid
and had taken them for horse thieves.
When he began to gasp she drew lit
tie pearl-handled revolver, and before
anyone could think Of stopping her
placed the muzzle under her ear and fell
into his arms, corpse. No, we never
heard who they were. We buried them
and went after the horse thieves"
