They Are With Us Always.

More grumbling is being done just at
this time than ever before In the his
tory of Florida. While a majority of
the men are at work, valiantly trying to
recover from the recent disasters, a few
are making no effort to accomplish any
thing. They claim that the country
has all gone to the dogs. They would
not save it if they could. 1t is easy to
grum BILE. 1t requires no capital, no
brains, no enterprise; but grum blers are
Industrious, and they possess an aptness
for their calling. If only people would
take them for what they are worth they
would do no harm. But they are always
in sight. They come in contact with
strangers before business men know a
newcomer is in town, and they fill him
with CAB about the non produotiveness
of the country, the certainty of failure
of this or that industry, and give their
section an all around bad name. I'm
fortunately there is no law againsta man
shooting off his mouth" If one could
only be passed and then enforced until
the last grumbler was driven to the pur-
suit of some legitimate calling, it would
prove blessing to Florida.

and on top of the marked strips, as the
first cross row of plants are set, the
board is moved up to the 3O-inch-apart

not step on the bed but on the board,
and he has not trampled the ground as
is done in any other way. This leaves
the plants 1920 inches apart, and if the
operator is careful the rows will be very
exact each way.

used except scuffle hoe.

is argument enough that the planter will
avail himself of the best modes of Gull
ture and marking.
To plant of the common, those we get
from the West Indies, the cost of plants
is less than 800, but with tde net pro-
ceeds which the past season has been
sixteen to four in favor of the finer sort,

How to Prevent Frost.

Visalia Times What produces a
frost? The cause that produces a frost
is the lack of moisture in the air below
q given point. The air contains at diff
terent times a greater per cent than at
others. The Signal Service grades the
atmosphere at 100 per cent, or point of
saturatiOn; all over that amount pro-
duces rain; all under to certain per
cent, say so, produces warm, sultry
weather, and all under that per cent
produces cold and frost by creating a
vacuum, which prod uces wind which
precipitates the moisture and forms dew
which freezes and forms what we call
frost.
Now to prevent frost, says Frank
Banker in communication, the only
thing that we have to do is to attract
heated moisture from off given terri
tory, or from the plains into the tim
Der, to that amount of per cent that
acts as barrier to the north wind, and
we have it. Now to prove my theory is
this: That you will always notice that
just before storm, say week or ten
days, that there is frost Now this
moisture is preclpitated on the ground
in the form Of dew. The earth is COM
posed of chemical matter; the chem
icals through the action of heat, produce
an electrical action which charges the
vapor of the air, which, intime, attracts
more vapor, until the atmosphere is
thoroughly saturated, or the point of
saturation is reached which clears away
frost and produces rain.
Now l claim can, by chemicals, pro-
duce the same effect. and can hold the
atmosphere in state or to point that
will prevent frost, as the moisture

caption 'select Your Crops, 1.-THE Orlando
Reporter recently published the follow
ing advice:
Zone great mistake that people make
in selecting crops to plant Is that thew
look solely to their money value. Many
things may be prof1tably grown by
farmers that are not of themselves,
strictly speaking money crops at ALL
Corn, oats, beggar-weed, grass, mlllet,
potatoes. sugar-cane, and garden vegeta-
bles are not to be rated by the amount Of
cash that they will bring, but according
to their value as food crops. All these
have money value, but that is not to be
compared to the values that they are to
the farmer IN his farm interests. They
make food for man and beast. By their
production and home use the farmer
saves the cost of hauling to market,
crates, shipping, and selling through
commission men. Should he get cash
for them, he would buy supplies of some
OAO OOOS pdJ AAS o. SOOu PAANO az WGAA n0
freight charges. In the end he would
pay two freights, and commissions; he
would have made two hauls; and would
have taken all of this risk to get food
that might as we'll have grown on his
own farm. Money crops must be grown,
but food crops are matters of first con-
sideration. When a man has his living
at home, very small amount of money
will meet his other wants. The product
of small acreage in tobacco, cotton,
snap beans, tom atoes. cucumbers, caul-
FLOWERS, eggplants, celery, asparagus,
pineapples, oranges, berries. or, in fact,
anything that sells we'll in it's season,
will provide enough ready money to
meet cash demands. Let us all work to
make living at home, and If we have
any more than we need, let us sell our
surplus for money to buy what we can
not make, and, so far as we can, buy
that of some neighbors, and in q few
years we shall be more prosperous than
when the orange business was at its
best

Our Master-The Hog.

The vegetable grower and farmer in
Florida has no rights that the hog is
bound to respect. Men may be created
free and equal but that does not in
clude Mr.. and Mrs. Razorback and man
has no inalienable rights that may con-
fict with their pleasures. Our Florida
legislature does not legislate for the
good of the people, but for the good of
biped who shall in any way transgress
the laws made for it's benefit. You can
easily secure immunity if you take the
life of your fellow man while burglaring
your house, but there is no immunity if
you shoot Master Hog when he is rob-
bling your farm or garden. The farmer
or gardener does not plant for the needs
of his family, at least he is verv foolish
if he labors under such fallacy, for
the law compels him to turn over his
crops when grown to support Mr.. Razor
back.
Fence against them! You might as
we'll try to fence out the chameleon or
cow for there is no fence they cannot go
through, or over, and they only wait
until the crop is about ready for harvest
when they enter the field and reap it.
Our attention was called anew to this
pestilence by the hogs harvesting Alex
ander Mu1r's crop of sweet potatoes last
week. Mr.. Muir is a poor man and
however charitable he may be and how
ever much he may desire to acknowl,
edge the sovereign rights of Mr.. Hog, it
is very great hardship for him and his
children to bestow his entire crop.
Self defence is said to be the first law
of nature and if some Of the hogs get
hurt while our vegetable growers are
endeavorlng to use moral suasion and
reason with them as to their ways, we
shall not shed any tears but let our
Legislators wear the Grape.

VIII Venture Their All on a Horse

"An Indian horse race is the greatest and

weeks to arrange the details, and must tell
you that the average Indian isa remarkably
good matchmaker. l do not think l ever

close, exciting finish.
