A Common Sense View.

La the discussion of farming in Flor
oranges or be diversified, one thing
seems to be lost sight of. There are two
objects in life. The first is to live, the
second is to get rich. The horse, it is
universally admitted, must precede the
che cart. The man who farms only Or
anges puts his second object frst-his
cart before his horse. The man who di-
versifes his farming makes sure of at
least comfortable living. His gains
are small. He raises enough to eat and
surplus. He has no prospect of
grand crop return in one big lump to
sustain him in extravagances, out he
has stream of income. He makes
small but numerous gains on berries,
beans, potatoes, eggs, chickens, honey,
etc., which in the long run amount to
more than the same labor and capital
can average out of the orange crop.
Those who are situated to speculate in
orange ventures on large scale without
affecting their means of living, will gen.
orally find it profitable and advisable to
do so. But the man who must live by
his work as he goes along will find it
wise to diversity his crops and make or
ange growing secondary consideration

Liver Fluke and Leeches in the Liver.

While investigating the external dis
ease of horses and cattle, called "Leech-
es," l frequently found the term was APP
piled to disease among cattle of
wholly different character, and due to
the presence of fiuke (Distoma hepatica,
L. in the liver. Letters were addressed
to nearly two hundred butchers and
stockmen in the State. Very few re-
plies were received from the southern
part of The State, so that the region ly-
ing south of Tampa on the west coast,
to Lake Worth on the east coast, remains
for future investigation. The perma-
nently infected area embraces narrow
strip from fifteen to thirty miles In
width along each coast, and a narrow
strip along the rivers to still greater
distance inland from their mouths.
The fukes are sometimes found at
other places, but such areas do not seem
to be permanently infected Cattle that
Craze upon an infected area may be
driven inland and carry the fukes for
months.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PARASITE.
The parasite resem bles the water leech
very much in general appearance. 1t is
thin, flat, about twice as long as broad,
terminating in front with short pro-
tuberance, sides gradually converge
from front to the rounding posterior ex
tremity. They measure from three
fourths to one and one-fourth inches in
length. They have palish brown
color
They are found in the ducts in the
liver, single or in great masses. Owing
to their presence the ducts become much
enlarged and dispositions of dark gritty
matter occur. The organ is rendered
unfit for food. The life history of the
parasite is one Of continued metamor-
phoss. The egg is Matched in water.
A snail or other molusk becomes It's host
for short time until a change is made.
1t then leaves it's host and becomes en-
cysted on the stems of grass, or floats in

grazing or drinking. Once in the stom-
ach it gains entrance to the liver through
the bile duct Here il natures, lays it's
eggs, and the process is repeated.
EFFECTS UPON THE ANIMAL.
Liver fukes in sheep produce condi-
ton known as rot. AS comparatively
few sheep are raised in this STAGE, and
these are not in the infected districts,
no damage is done to that industry.
The chief loss comes from growing cat
tie, and especially from those about two
years old. Nearly all cattle in the in
fec ted sections have )me fiukeS in their
livers. If only few, little or no effect
can be observed; they are found in the
best beeves. When they are numerous
they may plug the bile ducts, and other
wise so irritate the organ that general
disturbance of ply Biological functions
is the result. Digestion becomes irreg-
ular or incom plete, bile is forced into
the circulation, the mucous membranes
of the mouth and eyes become yellow

with a wall that sent the cold chills
running up and down the back bone.
Dainty feet they were, small rounded

overlaps the third toe. And the big

that you will be master of whatever

The interest became greater and the
third foot was planted for inspection.
Your health is not good because there
is damp GOODNESS about the flesh.
The many blue veins that stand out so

The next feet presented looked as
