A POSSIBLE VERMONT INDUSTRY.

n OOOLOAlA1 1AnhOANA AGNO w ~ n .
There was time when Vermont was
noted for its fine standard bred sheep,
just as it was famous the world over for
its Morgan horses; but various infu-
ences resulted in partial loss of the
prestige of Vermont sheep, and in recent
years the industry has suffered marked
decline. This is unfortunate in more
ways than one. 1t not only means fl
nanclal loss directly, but it deprives the
Vermont farmer to certain extent of a
useful ally in securing the best returns
from the most rugged portions of his
land. There are many hills in Vermont
upon which sheep are about the only an
imal that will thrive; for they will
climb very steep places and live on land
that would starve any other domesticat-
ed animal.
There is every reason, therefore, why
many Vermont farmers should raise
sheep, and the increasing tendency to
produce mutton instead of wool is one
OF the encouraging signs of the times of
which they should not lose sight. The
American Wool and Gotten Reporter
calls attention to the change which is go
ing on, and rejoices over it. "Hence-
forth" it says, "the farmers flock of
sheep must stand on its own legs, and
these must be mutton legs; thus suffi-
GENTLY supported, it can not only take
care of itself but enrich the hilltops of
the farmer and bless his table with the
best of meat" Itpoints out that the
butchers market of late has shown a
growing partiality for mutton and less
demand for beef, and says, 'We should
eat more lamb more mutton. 1t may be
a great blessing that it is necessary to
push this side of the sheep interest if it
is to result in the rearing of better NUT
ton, and more of it, and its presentation
TO the public in more attractive form,
and everywhere"
1t is well established fact that NUT
ton can be grown cheaper than any
other meat, as the feeces, despite the
low price of wool, will go long way to
make up the cost of raising. No ami
NAL will grow more rapidly, as com
pared with the food consumed, than a
lamb, and the per cent. of gain as to cost
is the highest. Every farmer ought to
keep a few sheep. and especially the
Vermont farmer.-Free Press.

The Deliquescent Property OF Fertil-
iZerS.

Some substances have great affinity
for water, taking it freely from the air.
This property of liquidizing is one to be
taken account of in considering the value
of these forms inlplant food. The nitrates
possess it to the largest extent, salts of
potash are almost as deliQuescent, and
gypsum and land plaster and artificial
fertilizers generally have this property
Thus it is useful to apply fertilizers in
the dryeSt time, for the damp air OF the
summer nights will supply all the moist
ure needed to dissolve them, and make
them available for the crops. AS soon as
any soluble substance is dissolved, it
spreads through the soil by diffusion,
and thus the effect of light top dressing
of fertilizer shows it's effects in few
hours after it is made-American Agri-
culturist.

good deal of truth in the statement that
Florida depended upon the crop Of
yankees for its support during the winter
season. Later on the orange harvest
was our principal source Of income.
From the Times Union, one day this
week. We notice that in two days. Au-
gust II and Is, there was ship led from
Punta Gorda over 5000 tons of phos-
phate, making up the cargo Of only two
vessels. These were the largest ship
ments ever loaded from Florida port,
and they went to sea over a bar that
has never had d liar expended on it.
On the 10Th inst, two cailoads OF rice
were shipped from Kis8immee, to be
milled at Charleston. Three years ago
no phosphate or rice was being shipped
from S luth Florida. Little by little
this section is beginning to export a
great variety Of stable products. 1t is
impossible to cacul:te the value of the
annual production OF phosphate which
WI
years henca. The same may be said of
sugar and rice from the Kssimmee Val
ley. The production of these great
staples has just begun, and is quite pps-
sihle that in | 'ss than ten years Tie value
of the sugar and rice crop from South
Florida Will exceed that of the orange
to-day.
Already the pineapple crop Of the
Indian River is as valuable as the grange
crop. Few people think Of the develop
inert which is going on in South Florida;
but when We give the subject little
consideration we can readily see that
this section is entering upon an era OF
permanent and substantial prosperity.
1t can no longer be said of us in ridicule,
that our principal product is winter
climate, and that our main reliance for
an income is upon the northern Invalid
and tourist. Kissimmee City has not
grown very rapidly for the past five
years, but We predict that the develop
ment OF the Kissimmee Valley will
make that beautiful little city at the
head of it's lakes, in the course OF the
next ten years, what Buffalo is to the
State of New York; and, going little
fur, her, we predict that capitalists,
after finding out what has been doue on
the muck lands of the Kissimmee Val
ley will, sooner or later, put immense
sums of money into the exceedingly
rich lands of the upper st Johns prairie,
which extends from Titusville to Sebas-
tian, few miles west of the Indian
River.

Live Stock in Florida.

Mr. F. A. Hendry, of Fort Thompson,
Lee County, in an interesting communi-
cation to the Industrial American speaks
some good words for Florida as a live
stock State. He also refers to q trouble
affecting his stock-leeches he calls it
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-09-06

and from which many Florida stock
men have suffered. We think this would
be an appropriate sub ect for the investi-
cation Of the veterinary surgeon OF the
Florida Experimental Station. In his
letter to the Industrial American Mr..
Hendry says: 81 am keeping about fifty
nice Florida brood mares, and they are
doing fine. They keep in good shape all
the year around without any feed of
grain. My stock, not sucklink, are now
as fat and sleek and lively as I could
wish, and the sucking mares are fat
enough, and my present crop OF colts is
very encouraging. Some of the yearlings
are as tall as their mother, and 1 will add
that they keep up their condition all the
winter. In fact, the winter months like
better for racing horses.
''There is one trouble have in summer.
Occasionally what is known here as the
''leeches" appears. hate it worse than
all the other diseases to which the horse
is liable. 1t usually breaks out on the
leg or arm-seldOm appears on the body.
There is no cure but the knife shat know
OF. The trouble [ am sure comes from
standing and feeding in wet places and
shallow water, but what it is nobody
knows. 1t don't seem to me that leeches
is the right name. The first appearance
is very small fostering, with a small
purple spot ia the center of the fostering,
and can be easily cut out in its first iu-
ception, but in few days the place is as
large as q silver dollar, fostering and
bleeding in many places. The sore is
perforated like pepperbOx. Under the
skin there are small core-like gatherings,
and lifeless so far as human vision can
determine. This trouble may be con-
fined to this latitude, and entirely un-
known in the veterinary profession. CAN
you or any of your readers throw any
light upon it? Perhaps should inform
the proper authorities at the Capital.
Possibly they could tell me something
about it. It must be something like the
chigger they have in the West India
Islands and South and Central America,
which insinuates itself into the human
flesh without the victim knowing any
thing about it.
