Gan Man Make Living IN Florida?

Gan Man Make Living IN Florida!
That man who cannot make a living
in Florida cannot make one anywhere.
The old settlers of Florida long before
railroad ever penetrated her interior,
made good living, some of them living
from SO to 70 miles to the nearest
market.
moved to Florida when boy, in
1851, married just before was 81 years
old, in 1869, and went to farming.
Made corn enough to feed two horses and
sold from rs to 100 bushels every year,
and did my own COW hunting and herd
ing besides. Made from S76 to 800
worth of sugar and syrup to sell, and
enough to supply my own need. Made
from 800 to 500 bushels of sweet potatoes
each year, and was for thirteen success
sive years not day without plenty of
potatoes. Saved corn fodder by strip
ping it from the stalks, together with rice
straw and sometimes oats and pea for
age, that never bought bale of hay
or anything of the kind for more than
three years. A garden full of choice
vegetables of every description most of
the year. large flock of chickens from
which we eat chickens, eggs, and sold
some. A few razorbacks, ten or a dozen
of which we fattened in winter, supplied
me with all the bacon and lard we
needed A herd of cattle from which
we got milk and butter and table beef,
and stored away in summer enough of
butter to tide us through the winter.
Talk about making living in Florida
is one of the most ridiculous and con-
temptlble questions that ever agitated
the minds of any people.
Were it not for prohibitory freight
rates could make fair living in any
county in Florida with club axe and
grubbing hoe. There is nothing
wanting but pluck and a determined
will.
Go to work like did, and work twelve
months in the year, and twenty six days
in the month, and twelve hours day,
and you have it. But if you sit around
pool rooms and beer shops, whiting on
goods boxes and complaining of hard
times you will be left, not only in Flor
ida, but in any other country on earth.
1t you take in every excursion in the
busy season, buy everything you see
that hits your fancy, smoke ten cents
worth of cigars or cigarettes day, drink
and treat, you can't come it in Florida
or anywhere else. If this is your line
of action you are dead failure in every
thing necessary to make you man, and
success is an absolute impossibility in
Florida or anywhere else.
Go to work and stick to it as though
the fate of yourself and the world gener-
ally depended on the ticks you strike,
and in less than ten years you will be on
your feet, an independent man.-G. w.

Methods of Curing Gapes.

Gapes are caused by collection of
small, threadllke worms in the windpipe
of the chicken. To kill these worms
and not hurt the chicken is the require
ment. Coal oil of the cheaper grades is
more effectual insecticide than the re.
fined. DIR. Elzey's method is to take a
small glass tube, with small rubber
bulb which apothecaries sell for "med-
iciDe dropper," half fill it with coal oil,
and inserting the tip into the windpipe,
discharge the oil, and the gapes are cured.
A small oil can used for sewing Ia
chimes will do in the place of the med
icine dropper. Operate as follows
Place the chicken, back down, between
the knees and hold it gently; open it's bill
and draw the tongue cut; seize the lower
mandible and tongue thus drawn, be-
tween the forefnger and thump nail of
the left hand. This will bring into view
the opening into the windpipe at the
base of the tongue, into which gently in
sert the tube and discharge the OIL close
the bill and hold the head still for few
Sc conds; then let the chicken go, and 1t
will cough, scattering some of the oil
out, but enough will remain to destroy
the worms, and they will be coughed up
and swallowed. The gapes continue for
time after the treatment, but the rem
edy will be effeCtual in every case if prop
erly applied, and it may readily be re-
peated, if thought worth while, as often
as necessary. After little practice it
is easily applied, and always succeeds.
The easiest treatment, according TO
Poultry Diseases, is to put some carbolic
acid of the clear, transparent quality in
spoon or metal saucer and hold it over
a lamp. Dense white fumes will arise.
Hold the chickens head in these until it
is nearly suffocated. Or shut all the af
fected chickens into box, and fumigate
them together, but keep close eye on
them lest they be killed. Fumes of
burned sulphur will also do very we'll for
this purpose. The vapor of spirits of
turpentine and of creosote are also recon
mended. Another method is to take a
feather which has been stripped of all
the webbed portion save the tip, dip it
into spirits of turpentine or kerosene,
and thrust it into the windpipe, turning
it around several times, Some of the
worms will be killed, some will come out
with the feather, and some will be
coughed out at once, catch on sheet of
paper and burn them all The opening
Of the windpipe is easily found at the
base of the tongue.
Other methods of treatment are: Cam
phor given in pills the size of a pea; alum
and sulphur in the form of fine powder
blown down the throat; lime in the air,
applied by putting the chickens into
box covered with fine muslin and sitting
fine lime through, but not fast enough
to smother the fowls; and fresh insect
powder blown into the mouth or wind
pipe is excellent. Keep the chicks on
new and clean ground or on boards, and
dust air-slaked lime freely over their
runs.-Amercan Agrioulturist,

ident Monroe, known as the Monroe

hastily embroil itself with any foreign
Dower and should only resort to ex-
IRENE measures in cases of absolute
necessity, a firner and more prompt
policy on the part of this government
in maintaining the rights Of American
citizens abroad should be introduced

DAY TO GRANT FIRMANS
II In that Time the Required Permission to
Pass the Dardanelles IL Not Granted.
the British Ambassador, Speaking After
Conference with the other Represent
tives of the Powers and on Their Be
half, Says There'n be Trouble and Lots
of It-Turkish, Armenian and Other
Foreign News

Consoantinop1e, Dec. st is reported
here this afternoon that after a meet
ing of tie ambassadors. Sir Philip Cur
RE. the British ambassador, notified the
Turkish government that If the firmans
asked for were not granted by SATURDAY
next, British gunboat would be sent
through the straits of Dardenelles with
out the sultan's permission, 70 act as
an extra guards1ip in the Bosphorus,
for the protection of the British enbas-
sy. Efforts to obtain confirmation or
denial of THE report have proved fu-
tile.
Constan'tinople, Dec. 3.-As this dis
patch is sent, early Tuesday morning.
there are no further Developments in the
political situation here. During the day
representatives Of the powers will hold
another meeting TO determine what
steps to take in view of the continued
refusal of the sultan TO grant the re-
quest of the powers for extra guard
ships in the Bosphorus-
The almost complete absence of news
from the provinces renders it difficult
to form AN estimate of the situation, as
to THE condition of Asiatic Turkey.
The work of strengthening the forti-
icaatons of the Dardenelles continues
night and day. Soldiers are busily at
work throwing up fresh defenses and
the most busy scenes are witnessed
from 1.-THE entrance of the Dardeneales TO
the other side of Gallipol.
London, Eng, Dec. 3.-The Daily
News correspondent at Constantinople
says: A letter from an European at
Marsovan says that on Saturday after
the massacre there was a CHASTITY spec
tacle at the edge of the Armenian ceme-
terry. Corpses were brought by the
wagon load and tossed upon the ground
in heaps. Aside from the drifting Of
the bodies by the perpetrators of the
slaughter, a hyena-like horde of bar
barians bounced upon these heaps and
stripped the dishonored carcasses of
what poor clothing they had, leaving
them in all degrees Of nudity. Finally,
about noon, a score of Armenians head
ed by priest, went under protection OF
soldiers to bury the corpses. Eighty
three of them were laid in single
trench Probably a hundred of them
were killed.
The Vienna correspondent Of the
Daily News says a telegram to the Tur-
kish embassy there last night (Tues-
day., says that the sultan has resolved
to break all diplomatic relations if the
powers force the Dardanelles.
A dispatch from Rome to the Daily
News says. that there is great activity
in all the artillery arsenals TO prepare
the whole naval force of the country.
The cruiser Piedmonte, the newest and
fastest in the italian service, her speed
being twenty-one knots an hour, has
been ordered to the Levant.

solemn pledges that the Arnenians
should not be massacred or punished
if they surrendered to the authorities
The work Of arming and eQuippdns the
reserves has been almost suspended.
although the troops are still kept at
their mastering places The Turkish
authorities say that this is because
there will be no use OF their services
as order is being gradually restored IN
al the troubled districts. On the other
hand, the Armenians claim that the
government cannot equip the reserves
owing to lack Of money
The British ambassador. Sir Phillip
Currie, has been most active since his
return here from London. and in adj
dirion 30 attending all the meetings Of
the ambassadors he has made personal
calls upon several Of them, and, ii Is
understood, has discussed the situation
in detail from all standpoints.
Rome, Dec. 3.-Italy is said to en-
dorse THE action of the British ambas-
sador in threatening TO run sunboaii
through the DardeneneS.
