Cattle in South Florida.

The business of dairy farming, as
we'll as that of fattening cattle for mar
ket, has been neglected almost entirely
in Florida; says the Citizen. The reason
generally given, that Florida could not
produce the necessary stock food, las
been disapproved during the past year
by the abundant grain and hay crops
harvested all over the State. The few
dairy farms that have been established
in the State have proved remunerative,
and the business of stall feeding cattle
for butchers has been successful. No
reason exists why these important in
dustries should not be extended. Beef,

The Oassabanana.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
You must have reproduced my article
on the cassabanana as many of your
readers are writing to me for more in
formation. If you will kindly give space
will briefly reply through yolr
columns one of your readers writes
thus:
IL have just read your description of
the casssbanana III the FLORIDA AGR1-
CULTURIsT This is an age of wonders.
Last winter the famous 'Sacaline' for
age plant had big sale, seedsmen said
it was more nutritious than clover and
would yield from SO to $50 tons to the
acre. Would grow Is feet high by mid
die of June My experience with it is
unfavorable. The German coffee berry
better than the best Rio coffee would
yield enormously. 1t turns out to be
the old Japan pea as fully as good
substitute for coffee as any other pea
After while want to find out more
about the cassabanana."
Now Mr.. Editor in order to
set any doubts at rest as to the
value of this remarkable fruit |
send you by registered mail a sam
pie of the fruit so you may give an
unbiased opinion Of it. When perfectly
ripe cut it up in squares and have some
preserves made out of it. Save the seed
and plant out early in the spring; it is
best to start the seed by artificial heat
in pots and transplant when danger of
frost is over.
There are conflicting reports as to how
the seeds Of this strange fruit got intro
duced here. A lady living few miles
from here Mrs. Bordelon) claims to have
found single seed in coffee she bought
from the grocery store. She planted it
in corner of her garden. the vine grew
and clam bered over the fence and
reached an old pear tree over 30 feet
high and by fall the tree was completely
covered with the vine and the huge and
beautiful crimson fruits hanging among
it's deep green foliage was sight to be-
hold. News of the wonderful fruit soon
spread, people would ride for miles just
to get few seeds. At first she sold the
fruit at one dollar each, but the demand
exceeded the supply and the price rose
to SIS each and 10 cents per seed. was
one among those to secure fine speci-
men. The seed was carefully planted
the following spring and fertllized with
cotton seed meal and the result was sur
prising. have just picked the last
fruit that were matured on the vine;
many were left on the vines that will
not mature.
1t strikes me that it can be treated as
perennial in your tropical Florida and
produce fruit from year to year. have
just cut few vines about two feet from
the ground and layeredthem and covered
with forest leaves in the hopes of saving
them through the winter. believe this
will give them an earlier start and be
ahead of vines planted by seed.

articles of food as cheaply as we can.
The capabilities Of Florida in this line
are shown in a letter written to the
Manufacturers Record by Mr.. E. T.
McCarty of AnKona, who, as manager,
is making great success of the colony of
Scandinavlans at White City, on the
east coast. Mr.. McCalty writes as
follows:
'"That to diversity it's industries is the
safe policy for Floridians to pursue is
settled thoroughly. We must produce
our own staple foods and breadstuffs.
Prominent among the necessities are
beef, milk, butter and cheese. These
constitute large part of the food of
mankind. All these are the product of
the cow in some form. 1t follows, there
fore, that we in South Florida must cul-
tivate closer acquaintance with this
animal Of uniform usefulness. That
this should have been neglected so long
is surprising. We have country in
which no shelter is needed during the
entire year, in which the range is un-
limited, and in which the law guaran-
tees protection to the catLle business
Stock and range cattle are remarkably
cheap and require only grading up to
enhance their value largely. This is
very easily and cneaply accomplished.
The introduction Of few choice males
of good beef and milk producing strains
would work q revolution in the appear
ance and value Of our cattle within a
few years. This has been done with
gratifying success in some parts of the

free for the taking, and so surrounded
by rivers as to be practically fenced by
nature. The territory adj AGENT to White
City on the St. LUCE river is of this
character In this county, which re-
quires so much chemical fertilizer, the
manure produced by cattle has an es-
pecial value, and the conversion of our
boundless supply of native grass into a
source of fertility is not to be despised.
Hides and bones are also of value. The
writer is convinced as field of invest
ment the cattle business of South Bre-
ward will repay investigation.
The tannery business of Joseph Zapf
at Sanford has been sold to Thompson
& McEachran, who are now taking
active steps to enlarge the plant, 10000
feet of lumber having been placed on
the ground. The price is said to have
been $4,000.

The result was satisfactory In every
respect Having more "eyes" than he
needed for replanting, Mr.. Dymock
offered them for sale, but was unable to

before, and those who refused the'eyes''

HARD TO CONVICT.
Little Show for Justice at Madison
Lake.

Speaking this morning of the affray
at Madison Lake on Wednesday,
County Attorney Benedict said:
"The feeling against the instigators
of the row is all one,way just now with
the Madison Lake people, but tomor-
row it may be just the reverse. Every
body is in for protecting Marshal Ide's
assailantS, but when the matter is
brought to trial you will be astonished
at the ignorance which the witnesses
will display in relation to the affair.
1t may be impossible to secure con-
viction.
"We had one case at Madison Lake
not long ago where a man was tried
for assault in the third degree. At
the time of the assault everybody was
in favor of rigorous prosecution and
punishment to the full extent of the
law. The witnesses for the state were
of little or no account, for their evil
dence didn't amount to anything, and
the man received a mere fine. We
never heard the last of the kicks be
cause fine was made at ALL"

End. Greater care should be eX-
ercised in giving excuses from school.
There is no real need of half the alb
SenceS that occur from school, and
there is no excuse for hardness. An
excuse should not be granted because
the child asks for it or ''don't feel like
going to school,"

their childrenfrom the fourth grade to
High school are not studying at home
from one to three hours per hay they
are not doing the full work of school.
No young man or woman can do full
days work in three hours or less out
side the recitation period. The young
who are giving themselves to social
enjoyment, amusement and all sorts
of pleasure so much of the time, will
sooner or later find how poorly pre-
pared for real life they are. AS a

the conduct, study and daily work and
obedience of my children at home and
at school, A little warning and at
tention now may save us much trouble
when they are older. Mankato offers
the finest of advantages to it's youth,
and they ought to turn out the finest
race of men and women the world has
seen. But to this end the home and
school must unite all forces to impress
the highest qualities of character, to
hold up the highest ideals of honor,
truth-telling, integrity and intelli-
gence. Both should strive to over
throw all habits of carelessness about
duty, lessons, conduct and obedience.
School and home should insist that
labor, conscientious, earnest and hard.
in school and out, is the one condition
worth.
The schools will open for the new
year on January 7th. Let all the lit
tie people be ready for attendance
and work on that day.

Worthy of Consideration.

The following suggestions concern
ing the Public school interests of Man
kato are worthy of consideration:
l. There are large numbers of
children of school age in the city who
are not in school. In crossing the
city one often sees as many as twenty,
The present state law for compelling
children to attend school should be so
modified that it can be carried out in
every town. Men pay taxes that this
class may be educated; but failing to
attend school, taxes must be paid to
support them in the courts and
prisons.
2. More of those who do attend
school for short time should be kept
in school long enough to absorb some
influence from the organized and gov
erned school. The majority of
children are out of school before they
reach the fourth grade, and of course
have only the very simplest elements
VI oil CuuCdUlOu.
3. 1t is believed that free text
books are a necessary part of free
school education. That it works well
and economically in other cities is
certain.
4. The condition of drawing public
money from the state, which amounts
to- about 81 per year to each pupil, is
that he shall attend the Public school
at least forty days in the year. AS
fact, Mankato gets less than her share
because so many of her children are
not in the Public schools. 1t is hoped
that some ARRANGEMENTS will be made
and such harmony prevail that the
enrolment may increase proportion
ately to the size of the city.

BUTLER HEARD FROM.
Reported To Be in Indiana, But His
Brother Says emo"

Walt. H. Butler, the eX-congress-
man from Iowa who so mysteriously
disappeared from Oelwein two months
ago, and who was well-known in Man
kato as law student of Judge Buck
and mail agent on the Omaha, has
been heard from.
A dispatch in yesterdays Chicago
Herald from Indianapolis says that he
was in that city last Wednesday and
Thursday. He called at the Grand
hotel and introduced himself to
Chairman Taggart, of the Demo-
cratic State Central committee, and
discussed politics in general way for
an hour or more. He said that he was
visiting friends in the city, but did
not name them, and left the impress
sion that he would be here several
days. Taggart was not aware that
Butler had disappeared from Iowa,
and paid no attention to him nor
made any inquiries as to the friends
he was visiting. AS he now recalls
him, there was nothing peculiar in
his actions or his conversation to at
tract attention, and when Taggart
learned of the mystery surrounding
his disappearance he failed to recall
anything in the conversation that
would indicate that Butler was not in
normal mental condition.
Butler made some inquiries about
several Indiana towns, and stated he
might remove to that state to reside
permanently.
Another dispatch from Spencer,
Ind, says that "Walt. III. Butler, of
Iowa, for whose body his wife and
brother have just offered $3.50 reward,
is not dead, but completed a weeks
work here Saturday for E. J. Heef &
Co., publishers, of Indianapolis, with
whom he recently took employment.
He went to Gosport Sunday evening
and later went to indianapolis. He
was heavy loser by the panic and
has been seeking profitable employ
ment, doubtless not desiring to COM
municate with his family, of whom
he frequently spoke while here, until
it Was obtained.
Evidently Mr.. Buffers brother,
James, who is now at Oelwein con-
Quoting the search for his unfortunate
kinsman, does not have much faith in
the reports, for he said this to an DEL
vein correspondent: II place no conf
dence in the report of the finding of
my brother N indianapolis, and be-
lieve now, ds [ have for the past few
weeks, that my brother is dead"

WANTS A NEW TRIAL.
Plaintiff Vic. Stein Asks
Today For One.
Allegations of Errors in Law and In
Sufficient Damages Given Under the
Influence of Passion and Prejudice
Row Over an AcCOrdeOn-NOteS.

A sensation was sprung in the court
room today when Attorney Plymat
filed motion for new trial in the
Saulpaugh case.
1t was hoped by all concerned that
the verdict of the jury last week
ended the matter, but it appears that
we are not to be let off so easily.
The grounds for a new trial, as
given by the attorneys for the plant
if, are as follows:
And now comes the plaintiff in the
above entitled action and moves the
court that the verdict be set aside and
that new trial be granted herein.
This motion is made upon the min
utes of the Judge of this court and
upon the NIL. Ltes of the stenographic
reporter, and is made for errors in law
occurring at the trial and duly ex-
copied to by the plaintiff at the time,
and upon the further ground of mad
equate and insufficient damages ap-
pearing to have been given under the
influence of passion and prejudice.

Legal Opinions About Victoria A.
STEMS Motion For a New Trial.
There seems to be well-grounded
suspicion among the attorneys of the
city that Judge Severance will not
grant Victoria A. STEMS motion for a
new trial.
From moral standpoint" said a
member of the bar this morning, "the
court could not grant the request.
Although am not versed in the legal
status of the case, 1 believe Judge
Severance has heard all he desired of
this case, and certainly the commu-
nifty does not want any more of it,
for the washing of the dirty linen has
used up the patience of everybody in
this part of the state.
whether new trial is granted or
not will make but little difference to
the plaintiff, for she seems to be de-
termined to appeal the case in any
event."

Monday afternoon about $3.50 o'clock
fire was discoveed at the Star Steam
Laundry. Some wood had been piled

have caught from that. The parties
occupying the rooms were absent at
the time, and when Mr.. Sudgen enter
ed the room it was blazing up in
great shape, but was extinquished
with a few pals of water having done
comparatively little damage. But for

those of other towns in neighboring
states, say nothing about some por-
tions of our commonwealth, have
felt little or no effects of the money

evidence of the fact is the abiding
