Jacksonville. Fla, Sept. 23.-The skele-
ton of 16 year old person was found in
the loft of the old transfer station at La
Villa Junction in this city to-day by a
young white lad Johnny Dubose. The
bones were in a crocus sack and had EVIL
IDENTIFY lain there for years. The top of the
skull had been sawed off.
1t is the opinion of physicians that they
are the remains of a body that had been
the subject of an autopsy at some time.
There is nothing to lead to the identity
of the skeleton. No one seems to know
how il got there.

city large amount of money, to the
great benefit of all our people.
James F. Johnson. of Marti City, has
promised to procure me an experienced
man from Cuba to bitune all tobacco
brought to my curing house. 1t is not
too late to plant seed. The commence
ment of the rainy season is the most pro-
pitious time to set out plants. Insects
are more injurious in later plants, but
setting out plants in April and May, dur
ing the drouth, is very expensive In
hauling water and covering plants to
protect them from the hot sun. Seed
beds should be kept moist by constant
watering, and covered with brush or
palmetto leaves to protect them from
the sun. There will never be a glut in

and we ought to sell 1t for as much as
the duty, which is $3.50 for wrappers
and 35 cents for filters, while we can
grow it as cheap as they do in Cuba
Dry, sandy loan soil is the best for fine
wrappers.

Wrapper Tobacco Raising
Frost Proof, Fla.

Paper read before the Ocala Board of Trade
by Adam L. Eichelberger.l
The growing of tobacco for wrappers
and filters for cigars is engaging the
attention of all thinking agriculturists
of our State. That our soil and climate
ing of the fine leaf tobacco for cigars
has been demonstrated in the years 1850,
1851 and 1852 by myself and others for
the German market.
The prices obtained then ranged from
20 cents to ST SO per pound; yielding
from 700 to 800 pounds per acre.
There is no question about successfully
growing this tobacco, but the difficulty
has been the want of skilled knowledge
to know how TO cure and bitune it as 1t
is done in Cuba in order to market it all
for the best prices This is done by put
ting the tobacco through a second sweat
in order to extracj the nicotine. And in
from two to three months it is ready for
use by manufacturers in making cigars,
and will then be worth from 80 to rs
cents per pound
There is no doubt in my mind that
the tobacco grown in this State (on &C.
count of our soil and climateAis Lext in
favor and value to that grown in Cuba,
and far superior to any grown elsewhere

cites and smoking tobacco.

Broom Corn Culture.
wrappers.

A subscriber asks about the culture
of broom corn. One who has much ex-
perence in raising broom corn says
Broome corn has several advantages
over Indian corn as farm crop. 1t
requires little if any more cultivation to
raise it than corn, if planted in land free
of weeds. The harvesting comes when
there is little farm work to interfere.
All the labor connected with it is light.
1t is harvested and out of the way be-
fore cold weather sets in, and when sold
brings the money all in a lump. Dur
ing the last twenty years, with three
exceptions, it has brought better prices
per acre in proportions than Indian
corn.
In growing broom corn the first neces-
sity is good land, and by this | mean
good Indian corn land. If the soil is
very rich, the broom corn plants may
stand thicker in the hills or drills. 1t
will always pay to pillow the land just
before planting so the young shoots will
get the start of the weeds. In fact, it
ought never to be planted on weedy
land, as Chis necessitate hoeing or
scraping (Which is a costly but profit
able lob,) if the weeds get a start by
negligence or wet weather. The land
should be thoroughly narrowed, then
there will be no trouble with the weeds,
and put in a fine condition. The seed
should never be planted until the soil is
thoroughly warm, so that it will come
up soon and keep ahead of the weeds.
Here in central eastern Illinois ! have
never planted earlier than May II, and
on to June 20; but when planted that
late it is very often in danger Of early
frost. Good ripe seed, the soil put in
thorough condition before planting,
and good cultivation are necessary to
produce find brush. | always drill
in my broom corn; if soil is rich, drill in

so as to have plates dropping broom

not to drop the seeds too deep, especially
if the weather is littly cold and rainy.

have always considered drilling best,
because more can be raised per acre,

4 tract Of land comprising about 156
acres just outside the western limits Of
Baltimore city, in the Thirteenth dis
trict of Baltimore county, and south OF
st. Agnes Hospital and St Mary's In
dustrial School. was offered for sale at
auction Wednesday, at the Real Estate
Exchange but was withdrawn after
five small parcels, including forty-two
acres, had been purchased at an aver
age price of 1927 an acre, says the Bal
timore Sun. The property is a portion
of the lands owned in Maryland by the
late Duchess of Leeds. a granddaugh-
ter of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, and
daughter of Richard Cation, after whom
the town of Gainesville is named.
The Duchess died in 1874, and in her
will directed that the real estate owned
by her in this county should be dis
posed of by her executors, and the
money thus secured should be used for
the purchase of real estate in England,
all of which, together with the English
realty which she possessed at the time
of her death. was bequeathed for life to
the Marquis of Carmarthen which is
the courtesy title of the heir to the
Dukedom of Leeds. The present holder
of the title is the grandson of a cousin
of the Duchess husband, she having
died without children.
The property put up at auction is
but part of the estates in several
counties in Maryland which came to her
from Charles Carroll of Carrollton and
his daughter. 1t was offered at first as
whole, but no bids being made for this,
the choice of fourteen parcels Of it was
next offered. The bidding for first
choice was a bit spirited, and 1t was
finally knocked DOWN for $500 an acre
to Ruxton NJ. Ridgely. After that the
prices offered became steadily smaller
until the fifth purchase, when Auction
eer Kirkland announced, after a con-
suIta ton with the American trustees
of the estate, Anthony A. Hirst and
Alexander Yearley, Jr., that the re-
mainder of the land was withdrawn.
I'VE had expected to get at least $500
an acre." said Mr.. Kirkland" and not
bit of it can be secured for less than
$275 an acre"
The Duchess of Leeds was one of the
three famous daughters of Richard
Cation, who from their beauty and
charms were often called 1.-The three
American graces." They became the
wives of members of the British nobil-
-ity. Louisa Catherine, the Duchess of
Leeds, was the youngest of the trio.
Mary Cation, the eldest. was~at first the
wife of Richard Patterson of Baltimore,
brother of Nine Elizabeth Patterson
Bonaparte, but in 1925 became the
second wife of the famous Marquis Of
Wellesley, elder brother of the still
more famous Duke of Wellington.
Elizabeth Cation was married in 1886 to
Sir George William Stafford-Jerningam,
Baron Stafford.

respondents in Farm and Preside, ait
is quite evident that grave errors aud
damages were made in breeding sheep
at such extreme ages.
"sAt this time, when immense sheep
raising is practised, better plan is
to dispose of sheep as soon as they
reach their best commercial value.
This may be at three years, or three
months, and again at three weeks
old. The market value determines
the best time to sell the surplus Of
the flock. When the time comes that
there is the most clear profit,
whether it be lamb, a breeding
animal or a mature mutton, that Is
the best time to sell it. There need
be no false ideas on the question; it
is purely. simply matter of financial
economy to be decided by circum-
stances and market prices. It is q
false notion to keep a sheep as long
as it lives, until there is no profit in
it, until it dies of old age. Some
breeders make it an unvarying rule
to put everything of 81 four, some at
five years old, and thus keep the
flock young. 1t may be well to fol-
low some such rule, but that rule
should be in accord with the above;
the time to sell is when there is the
most new money in sheep"

Salt as Food.

Salt is to be considered as food.
Everything that supplies the waste of
an animal is food, and the waste of
salt from the system is considerable,
There is not a secretion or excre-
ment of the animal in which more or
less salt is not carried off from the
blood. Without it health cannot be
maintained. And yet most persons of
all conditions and vocations think of
this necessity of life as mere condt-
ment used to please and satisfy the
palate.
Certainly it does this. but precisely
as water is grateful to the thirsty
soul because it is the paramount ne
cessity of life at the moment. The
eagerness with which all animals
rush for the salt tardily given to the
horses, cows, or sheep tells the story
of its necessity as a natural food.
And, being such, it is to be given as
regularly and a. literally, as far as
it is required, as any other food. It
is best given in the ordinary food,
and is best kept in stated place in
the feeding room or passage from
which the animals are fed. Then
each gets an equal share without
fighting for it and some losing their
part of it.-Coleman's Rural World

How Long to Keep shee Q.

To answer the question in general
way, "How long should sheep be
kept" the answer is-as long as
profitable. This reply, however, is de-
pendent on the purpose for which
sheep are kept and upon the breed.
When wool-growing was the sole in
tention and purpose of keeping sheep.
the Merino was the most profitable
sheep, because it gave larger ieeces
and more valuable wool. and its
longevity was an important charac-
teristic. Not infrequently q Merino
sheep was profitable at tan, twelve

One of the best products of the

Patient work is as essential to sue

applies to poultry and eggs as well as
other products.
Fowls may be fed too much corn or

will help materially in making the
farm afford a good living.
