Announcement.

The Goodland Military Band has de-
cided to give a series of monthly con
certs, the first of which will occur Tues
day, Feb. %, 1895, and one each success
sive month thereafter, on the the 10Th,
or as near that date as possible. The
object of these entertainments is to Sc
cure funds TO buy new Instruments
uniforms, ETC., and as the band has al
ways been very liberal in giving their
services to the public it is now hoped
the public will reciprOcate by bestow-
ing their shekels on the band, particu-
larly, when they are sure of receiving
value for their money. Under the
able dictatorship of J. M. Jordan the
band has made rapid progress in disci-
pine, technic and ensemble playing
In expression, also, vast improvement
will be observed In making up the
programmes regard will be had for the
tastes Of all, and interspersed with the
light and catchy popular music of the
day will be heard the masterpieces OF
Wagner, Schubert, Sousa and paul
Laurent" selections from late operas
descriptive pieces, sacred melodies
negro airs and dances. No pains will
be spared to surpass all former efforts
of the band and make these monthly
concerts something to be looked for
ward to with pleasant anticipation
Popular prices will be charged for ad.
mission. The programme will appear
in next weeks papers. Ex-COM.

Why, bless you mani Goodlaud has
more churches and more church or
CARNATIONS than any eastern town Of
10000 inhabitants. Within rife shot Of
the courthouse stands four as fine

These denominations are Methodist
Congregational, Christian and Catho-
lie. Besides these there are church
organizations without church build
ings, without end, among which are
EDiscopalian, Baptist, Lutheran, Swed-
ish Lutheran, etc. Besides these there
are Holiness, Spiritual, Adventist, and
other like organizations. We are ? re-
iigious people here IN G0Odland, and
next to schools We demand churches.
The variety Of faiths offered are evid-
encs Of the spirit Of fairness that the
west has developed in allowing anyone
to think As he pleases Ia regard to such
matters. In the county also there ara
like organizations and there Is not

The Southern California railroad i

The Southern California railroad is
probably entitled to the credit of first
| introducing oil-burning in locomotives
in regular passenger service in this
country. Locomotive No. 625 of that
company has been equipped with the
Booth oil-burning apparatus, device
which has been designed after a lone
period of experiment, although the
patents have been taken out but a
short time. William Booth, the de
signer, was formerly the master me
chanic of the Peruvian Central rail
wav. but. of late, has been conducting
the experiments on the Southern Gail
fornia line, being aided by Master Ne
chanic Prescott; who has had vide eX
perieDCe in similar experiments. The
equipment makes very little change in
the exterior appearance Of the engine.
The fuel tank holds a little over i've
tons of oil and is placed inside the
water tank, so that it is surrounded by
water, there being six feet OF It on the
back of the tank, IS inches on the sides
and fronts. and six inches on the top.
Tt is provided with an oii-tight manhole
and has a gas vent on top, so that any
manner Of shaking will not allow the
oil to escape. For the sake Of safety
there are two safety valves, one on top
and the other on the bottom. An ap-
paratus is provided to shut OF the flow
of oil to the engine in case the supply
pipe becomes broken from any cause.
Two burners are used, with steam Jets
in each, BY which the oil is sprayed IN
to the frebOxes.

THE RISE or PoPuL!sM.


An Extract from Ex-Governor Lew sIIins's
Article in American Review.
Inan article in the January North
American Review, Ex-Governor Lewell-
ing Of Kansas, in explaining the rise of
Populism. said: 10 comprehend the
condition Of tie western farmers it
must be understood that they are lar
gely a debtor class, and they feel that
In the gradual shrinkage Of values they
have been wronged. They also believe
legislation to be responsible for this
shrinkage, and look to legislation for
the remedy. The western farmer is a
philosopher from necessity. Rapidly
tending toward poverty, he demands
to know why, and is intelligent enough
to answer his own question in the light
of reason. He believes the prime cause
of all his woes is the manipulation of
the money system of the country by
INSCRIPTIONS and mercenary interests.
He believes the decline OF prices fol
lows shrinkage Of the volume Of money
In circulation, and that shrinkage in
volume results from legislation. He
does not believe that the government
should increase the interest burden by
borrowing gold while our native hills
are filed with silver and labor stands
idly awaiting an opportunity to take il
from its hiding place. He believes that
government is, or should be, for the
good of all the people, and that legisla
ton should be for the multitude, rather
than for the few. He believes that gov
ernment should afford protection tt
the week; and he believes, finally; tina
if government, which assumes to guar
antee life, liberty and the pursuit o
happiness, in reality guarantees moth
ing but wretchedness and want, govern
ment has feiled in its mission, and tina
he is living in an age of exquisitsly re
fined barbarism, rather than in tn
noon day light and love of christian
charity and progressive civilization"

We have been doing penance the
past week by reading the late, much
preached-against novel of Du Maurier.
"TriIby" seems to be the fad with the
recherche circles of society of the effete
east, who have deluded themselves into
thinking the book a good one. Even
the west has not escaped. Here in our
own state "Trilby" clubs, and "Trilby'
feet are often referred to by the fin de
steele society writer's. Preaching and
pushing the mighty pen against the
asserted demoralizing effect of the
book seems to be as much fad with
the preachers of the gospel as the book
is with society 1t is not interesting,
either from moral, immoral or psy-
chlcaI standpoint, and probably would
never have been heard of had it not re-
ceived the free advertising it did from
the pulpit. For something far more in
tBfestiug aud romatic we would COM
mend you to the ancient edition of
Browns elementary grammar.

No Fence Law-Freight Dissemination.

Editor Florida AgricuIturiSt:
InclOsed please find check of So 90,
renewal Of subscription to FLORIDA
AGRICULTURIsT for the current year
| hope you will not get tired fighting
for "No Fence" or mo Fence Local
Option Law" There is little hope for
this State, unless that is brought about
There is another point | should like to
draw your attention to, and that is the
discrimination of transportation lines
against Florida products. | am not in
tending to raise the cry against railways,
for believe they have enough to do to
make both ends meet, just now, but
there is one thing they could do, if they
cared to take the trouble. and that is to
re -ad Just the freight rates, SO that the
producer should not have to carry an
undue proportion of the burden, as he
has now to do. Suppose the rate on our
fruits and vegetables was reduced to one
half the present rate, and then they
recoup themselves by charging more on
such things as are brought into the State
from the North and West.
By stimulating our industries and pro-
auctions in such a way, they will in a
few years feel the beneficial effects of
the new policy, by having an increase of
business far beyond what they can ex-
pect to have under the present one, ever.
AS long as the people that are here now,
that is, producers, cannot prosper, how
ever hard they try, it is absolute folly to
spend money to induce new settlers to
come in, as some Of the railway lines are
doing now If the producers of the State
prosper, settlers will come Of their own
accord. A. MENsER.

THE HUMAN EAR.
A Notable Lecture Oh the Sense of Hearing
by DR.. Hartman.


During the course of one Of DR.. Hart
mans latest lectures at the Surgical
Hotel, he said Good hearing is essen
tal to health and safety. A continual
roaring, cracking and buZzing in the
head, which is always produced by par
tial loss of hearing, is a constant ner-
vous irritation which will gradually UNI
dermine the strength. Besides this,
even a slight loss of hearing renders any
one more liable to accident, m any per-
sons being killed every year because of
partial deafness. Many people think
that gradual loss of the sense Of hear
ing is inevitable, and that every one
must submit to it sooner or later. Hence
they make no attempt to find a cure,
This is great mistake. Loss Of hear
ing, either in old or young people, is
nearly always due to chronic catarrh of
the head or middle ear"
Catarrhal deafness is due to catarrh
of the throat passing up through the
Eustachian tubes to the middle ear. The
catarrh in rare cases originates in and
remains confined to the middle ear. The
symptoms are: Roaring, cracking, buzz
ling in the ear, with gradually increas-
ing difficulty in hearing. If not cured
the hearing will be entirely destroyed.
When the case has not already gone too
far before treatment is begun, Pe-ru-na
will cure every case. 1t is only after
catarrh has destroyed portions of the
middle ear that Pe-ru-na fails to cure.
All such cases should write DR.. Hartman,
Columbus, Ohio, for further advice
A book on la grippe, coughs, colds,
catarrh, ETC., will be sent free to any
address by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manu-
featuring Company of Columbus, Ohio

Diseases Of the Irish Potato.

DlS0dS0S VI bu6 1FlSQ IOGdGO'
Farmers Bulletin, No Is recently is
sued by the national department Of agri-
culture, treats of three diseases of the
Irish potato, namely, the potato blight
the macrosporium disease and the po-
toto scab. The following abstract of It's
contents appears in the agricultural col
umns of the Times-Demo c rat.
The potato blight attacks the leaves,
stems and tubers, and is first noticeable
sometimes spreading so rapidly as to
practically destroy whole IDS in a few
days. Low temperature with much
moisture conduces to rapid development
and spreading. A temperature above II
degrees Fahrenheit checks at once the
disease.
Ire macrosporium disease is easily
COMPOUNDED with the blight and some
times difficult to distinguish between
them. 1t attacks only the stems and
leaves and never the tubers. The last
suffer only by starvation. The potato
scab is abundant everywhere and no
description is needed. It's effects are
mainly on the tuber.
For blight and the macrosporium dis
ease the Bordeaux mixture is pre-em-
inently effective. The lants are sprayed
with this mixture when about six inches

to fourteen days until five or six appli
cations have been made. A care is also
needed to avoid the use Of diseased seed
and to burn all leaves and stems killed
by this disease.
For potato scab solution of corrosive
subimate IS most effective. Dissolve two
and one quarter ounces in two gallons
of hot water ana after about ten or
twelve hours dilute with thirteen gal
Ions of water.
The potatoes to be planted are simply
immersed in the above for one and a
half hours. then spread out to dry. All
potatoes so treated must be planted,
since corrosive sublimate is violent
poison The cost of above is not ever Is
cents per acre.
All persons who grow potatoes in any
quantities will find that the practice of
above remedies will add greatly tC their
product Hand, knapsack or barrel
pumps may be used in distributing the
Bordeaux mixture. In absence of these
a syringe or old broom may be tempo
rarily employed.
