borders.

Grass rules. 1t is the most valuable
crop of America. Worth more than
either corn or wheat. Luxurious
meadows are the farmers delight. A
positive way to get them, and the only
one we know, is to sow SalZer's Extra
Grass Mixtures. Many Of our farmer
readers praise them and say they get
four to six tons of magnificent hay per
acre from Salzer's seeds. Over one
hundred different kinds Of grass, clover
and fodder plant seeds are sod by Salzer.
If you will cut this out and send it
with seven cents postage to the John A.
Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis, you
will get sample of Grass and Glover
Mixture and their mammoth seed cata-

During the gale Friday night the cleo
trio light wires at Pensacola got crossed
with the telephone wires and burned out
all the telephone cables and connections,
the damage to the exchange being about
$500. The fire department was called
out to extinguish the blaze, and the cleo
trio light plant had to shut down for the
night. 1t will be Monday or Tuesday
before the telephone exchange can get
in running order again.

and sell several fat hogs. After feeding
the mules and horse more than month
on the corn in the field, we gathered and
filed crib 10x10 and s feet high, and
put on the barn floor % or 30 barrels.
We have plenty of milk and good fresh
butter the year round, and our little
| friends the bees make us all the honey
we want. So we live in land flowing
with milk and honey. | see no reason
why farmer can't raise everything he
wants. We must break off all our bad
habits. More money is spent for tobacco
and drinks than is needed for food and
clothing. And that is more than wasted.
Success here as elsewhere depends on
man saving and working. Farmers
must know how to make and use
manure. Keep the horses in good roomy
stalls we'll Uttered with grass and oak
leaves. Keep the COWS in stalls nights
and we'll Uttered. Put 4 hogs in pen
12x12, we'll Uttered with muck and oak
leaves. Look after the hen manure.
Make pen 10x10, fill it three feet with
muck and leaves, upon which empty the
house slops and wash-suds one year, and
at the end of he year you find yourself
possessed of pile of fertilizer that will
astonish you. farmer must become a
crank on the manure question. Oak
leaves spread on the ground, and plowed
in will pay a man big money.
We plant corn 43x44, two grains TO the
hill. When the corn is up or inches
run cultlvator close to it so as to
tumble the dirt around the corn, cover
ing up all the grass and weeds. In
week or ten days glow likely close to it,
throwing tt dirt around it again. In a
week or ten DAYS cultivate again. So
keep on until the corn is large enough 10
lay by, and you may expect corn if 1t
don't rain. If the grove is killed go to
work and make another as soon as pos
sible. Remember God helps those who
help themselves. The Holy Writ says:
Crust in the Lord and do good, and
verify thou shalt be fed" That promise
is for you and me. Letus take and trust

We have seen DR.. Mead's corn crib
and barn, and there was plenty of corn
and fodder, and also saw his "fatted OK"
and we can say that if there were more
farms like DIR. Mead's, there would be
less "Chicago beef" shipped to Florida
and more satisfied people within her

General Farming the Solution.


now; and about farming There are q
few facts patent to every mind-most of
the orange trees are killed. If any
should live, they are so badly hurt we
need not expect any fruit for two or three
years to come. Our chance for living
is to till the SOIL Our Heavenly Father
decreed years ago that we must get our
living by the "sweat of our brow.
But, says one, Florida is good for moth
Ing but for orange culture. opine that
man either does not know how to farm,
or IS unfortunately located on poor muck
land. Our legislature appears to think
Florida is good for nothing but for
cattle and hog range. 1t is the only in
terest they think worth protecting. In
deed they make all other interests sub
servient to that one and by law compel
all other interests in the State to pay a
ruinOus tribute to foster it, The stock
interest don't pay one-tenth Of the taxes
and not one-twentieth of the inhabitants
Of this county are interested in stock,yet
we must spend our money and labor to
keep up a lawful fence or have our crops
destroyed. And. fence the best we can,
we are damaged every year by cattle
and hogs. If had the money | have
spent in fencing and damage to my crops
the last fifteen years, could buy all the
cattle and hogs within five miles of me.
1t is a shame: The election law is a dis
grace to our civilized people and the la
compelling physicians to pay tax Of
fifteen dollars is an injury to the people.
The fact is the practice of medicine out
side Of the large cities is not worth a row
of pins; it is merely Il work of charity.
The least the legislature can do for us
is to give the different counties a local
option law, and if a majority of the
people vote to fence, am coed enough
democrat to go with the majority. The
principles of the good old democrat party
are good enough for me. But that party
is hard to find in Florida.
If our legislature would now compel
every man to take care of his stock and
then pass law giving ten years the
same valuation of wild land, to any man
who will put said land under cultivation
it would add 30 per cent to the real es-
tate of this country and keep hundreds
of men from leaving the State.
Can man make living here farming?
[ answer yes, if he is on good land and
makes a good use Of his time. | would
not advise any poor man to bring
family here without some money to give
him start. A single man might make
himself good home without means.
We have been farming here fifteen years
more or less and have generally made
fodder for our horses and COWS. Our
farm land is high pine. Our object has
been to get the land full of humus. We
don't pasture the land after removing
the crops. In the fall we pillow every
thing under with large pillow by the aid
Of heavy drag chain such as pea vines,
beggar weed, crab grass, cockel berry or
any other vegetation. But not till it IS
fully matured.
Is it the better practice for the land
and crop to pillow in this vegetable mat

let it die on the land and remain till
