SUBJECT-AIR CHURNs.

SUBJECT-AAR CHURNSr
Text: Remember the air churn
and eschew him." From last sentence,
sixth paragraph of clarifying Fallacies"
by L. ID. Hoskins, d.. D.
DIR. Hoskins is and has been for many
years sound philosopher. He has al
ways sbounded in good common sense
or horse sense, if you please. When he
strikes he hits the nail plum on the
head. He is terror to humbugs, fakes
and frauds.
This is what he says in clarifying
Fallacies" about air churns. For some
time it was thought (and churns to carry
out the principle were introduced) that
the passage of air into cream during the
process of churning promoted the sepa-
ration Of butter. This idea is now ex-
ploded, and the Churns are found only
in garrets. allude to it merely to show,
in the light OF what will be hereafter
stated, how far away from any true con-
ception Of the facts the minds of many
must have been when such a theory
could have had currency"
Further on in the article quoted from
he referred to the Current" theory of
cream raising, and showed the absurdity
of it. He closed the paragraph as fol-
lows: whenever you hear one of these
current theorists holding forth, you
will always find that he has new pat

rich hammock land in the State--the
hammock. with it's triangulati0ns being
about sixty miles long and about twelve
miles wide. It is generally the open
hammock with very little underbrush,
and contains all varieties of hardwoods.
Fifty years ago this country was set
tied, and up to the commencement of
hostilities in the late unpleasantness,
thriving settlement fiourished. The
original settlers were Thompson and
Pressler, who operated extensive sugar
plantations, comprising three hundred
acres. They also planted large quanti-
ties of cotton, and grain enough to sur-
ply their stock.
On the banks of the Wekiva river
they operated grist mill by water
power, grinding enough to supply their
three hundred slaves. All of tn cir prod
ucts were lightered down the gulf, and
loaded on schooners for shipn. ent to New
Orleans and other ports. The property
was afterwards transferred to man
named Carpenter, of Providence, RI.
and he erected large steam sugar mill.
but through lack of management, he
failed, and the machinery was moved.
About 1870 @. B, Wingate planted an or
ange grove aud was followed by a score
OF others. The orange trees thrived and
were source Of much profit, but the
freeze last year ruined the groves.
through the hammock there is net
work of crystal streams which form the
forty seven' branches Of the Wekiva,
the big and the little Wekiva, and the
Waeasassa, which empties into the gulf.
All OF these streams find their sources
In clear springs; some of them are min
eral, containing deposits of iron, cop
peras, sulphur, etc.
There is a vein of IRON ore running
from Madison to SumptHr counties, and
through Levy county, wRe re at one time
IL was worked.
This vein runs through the hammock.
The subsoil is lime 1ock, the surface
generally being of, rich chocolate
color.
AS hunting ground the fame of the
gulf hammock extends to Europe from
whence many sp0rtsmen come to enjoy
thorough sport. LEON J. CANovA.

Fort Meade, Fla" there came offers of
land from various sections of the State,
to those interested in the above COM
pany. as they took the initiatory steps,
and were naturally looked upon as be-
ing deserving of all support.
The fact that Cuban planters of con.
siderable repute were at the head of the
enterprise prompted land owners to look
upon the project with confidence, which
they have shown by liberal contributions
of land, and urgent requests from others
in adjacent countries, who were DESTROYS
to contribute literally. The first invita-
ton to be accepted, was that extended
by the public spirited settlers in the
Gulf hammock, in the vicinity Of Win
gates hotel and at the Gulf hammock
post Office.
Last Thursday morning the party,
consisting of DR.. A. M. Abalo and
Ricardo Photo. the president and man
ager Of the above named company, Senior
Arnau, Cuban lawyer. Captain c. B.
Barnard, Z. p. Freeman, and your cor
respondent, took passage on the F. G.
e railway, which had courteousIy ex-
tended transportation, thereby setting
liberal example for the other railways of
the State, who contemplate the success

fishing themselves, must necessarily
benefit the railroads.
The party arrived at Otter Creek
about $50 IN the eI ening, and were met
by teams which were to convey the party
to their destination, nine miles away.
Through the pine woods the drive was
not inviting for five miles, but at the
end Of that distance the hammock was
entered. The shades of night had not
hung very heavily until the tall white
oaks, hickory, magnolia and other hard
wood trees interlocked their branches
over the roadway. With hard roads and
chilly air, the horses needed no urging
on their homeward journey.
Arriving at Wingate's hotel, repast
awaited the party that at once won pop
ularity for the Section-broiled brook
trout, venison and baked wild turkey
(Gulf hammock chicken) were among
the items on the menu.
After good nights rest and hearty
breakfast the party sailed forth in the
bracing morning air to examine the land
and its advantages. 1t was here that
the Cubaus displayed their superior
knowledge as to what best suited their
requirements. The further they went,
the more delighted they became, and by
night they had decided that their COM
pany would locate colony on these fer
tile lands, provided the land owners
would do the proper thing.
TheresIdent land owners felt confident
that sufficient land would be donated to
induce the company to locate a substan-
tial colony.
During the day, the party was added
to by the arrival of W. D. Findlayson of
Cedar Keys, and representative of Levy
county in the legislature, and e. J. Lut-
terloh, mayor of Cedar Keys. These gen.
tlemen took an active interest in the en-

Arrosmith was busy exercising some of
the most promising young horses ever
bred in the State. He expects to leave
tomorrow with five of his very best
young horses for Kentucky, where he
will handle them on one of the best tracks
in the country for several weeks and he
expects to give several of them such
marks as no horses of like age, bred in
North Carolina, ever had.
Eufaula, year old FLY, is the most
promising one of the horses and is

II seems that so far as possible the
opposition.candidates are going to dodge
the issues of the campaign and trust to
their party inertia to carry them over
the political touch line. The republi-

as their platform. As regards the
populists, no one would know there was
such an aggregation was if not for the
idlotic snorts of Deacon Armstrong.
Fact is, the deacon is about all there is
left of it. The outfit has stunk itself

The COW pea is splendid feed for hogs,
horses or cattle and is fed in the same
way as corn, while the stalk is cut and
put up as hay. 1t is thought that be-
fore another year this plant will largely
take the place of corn and wheat, for

plants do not disturb the COW pea.
