February and March are two of
the best months of the year to
visit Florida. The climate is fine
and the social features at their height
of interest. When you have made up
your mind to go, you naturally want
to go there as soon as possible and in
the most comfortable manner. No
matter whether you live in st. Louis,
Chicago, Peoria, indianapolis, Column
bus, Cleveland, Buffalo, New York or
Boston, you can take one of the mag
nifcent trains of the big Four Route"
from any one of these cities to Cincin-
natl, and with only one change of cars
continue your journey to Jacksonville.
Direct connections made in Central
Union station, Cincinnati, with through
trains of all lines TO Florida. Call on
or address any agent of the big Four
Route" or address T.. o. Mccormick,

breed and Feed for Quality.

With good finished steers selling
down around $3.50 to SAFE, and with
little prospect of Improvement, it has
required no small amount Of courage
on the part of feeders to pay such rates
as $3.50 to 1915 per hundred for coca
class OF feeding cattle. So good, how
ever, has been the condition of grass,
and so abundant the grain yield, that
they have taken hold freely, and over
$4,000 head went out to the Western
feed lots from Chicago during Septem-
Der and October. Cheapness and album
dance go hand in hand. IA do dearness
and scarcity. This is the law Of sup
ply and demand, whose governing
hand Is felt in all branches Of COM
merce. Just so surely as production
and consumption determine values in
the ordinary course Of events and In
times OF peace, SO shall prices be low
when produce Is abundant and high
when there Is a dearth or famine. La
Dor is cheap when laborers seek for
employment and high when there is
scarcity of workmen. Cheap feed this
year Is undoubtedly inducing many
farmers and feeders to take hold and
fatten stock for the spring markets,
ana 1t is this fact that has caused them
10 pay good strong prices even while
fat stock is low in value.
1t does not, however, necessarily
mean loss or disappointment. In no
better way can our great crop OF corn
be utilized than in the production or
good beef, good pork and good NUT
ton, and it is not bad sign by any
means to see full feed lots, even when
market values do not give promise OF
much If any improvement. 1t
is rot so much the number as the quail
ity of the stock produced that tells.
The feeder who has bunch OF good,
young, small-boned, early-maturlnS
steers in his lot and has his bins full
or corn, has no need to fear that he will
come out of the little end of the horn
when his stock goes to market For
$3.50 to $3.75 per hundred pounds a
class OF good young feeding steers can
be bought upon the Chicago market
which no feeder need hesitate about
buying, provided he has corn to put
into them. Any man whose business
calls him into the sale yards of our
market centers will tell you that a
good handy bunch of 1900 to 1,350-lb.
steers. fat and matured, will sell well
at any time. Such stock commands
the highest price. And why? Because
it is scarce, for one thing, and because
it produces meat-'richt doom to the
hooks. for another.-Live Stock Re-

turned to his native land uncertain
whether he would be a physician, law
yer or a minister of the gospel, for
either of which vocations he deemed
himself equally adapted. For "busi-
ness" he had no inclination.
AS he lazily reclined in an easy-chair,
smoking a fragrant cigar, his eyes fell
upon the following lad" in a paper of
that days issue, which he had been
reading:
Observation-Disclosures young man, of
pleasing address, to canvass for the sale
OF a domestic article on commission.
References required, but experience un-
necessary. Call upon or address Brown
&c Co., Is - street."
For few moments he remained ST.
lent and then muttered:
IL am not destitute of intelligence and
think l can be pleasing in my address,"
smiling as he spoke. II wonder if IT
would not be advisable for me to confer
with Brown &c Coz"
He arose from his seat, started from
the house-one of the finest residences
on a fashionable thoroughfare in the
western metropolis-wended his way
to Is - street, where he learned that
the "article" was a kerosene lamp ap-
pliance which increased the volume OF
light at the same time that 1t decreased
the quantity of oil consumed.
He easily-indeed, greatly to the sat
isfaction of Brown & Co., when they had
acquainted themselves with his ante
cedents-secured a situation as a can
vasser and the next day left on his BIZ
cycle.
The first place which he "worked"
was thriving village, where his sales
were few and, despite his uniform cour-
tesy, he was subjected to the repulsive
treatment which agents are wont to
receive. His next venture was in q
rural district, where the houses were far
apart, and he wheeled" many miles
without being allowed to even show
what he wished to dispose Of, as he was
usually confronted at the door by some
one who said I'VE are not prepared to
purchase anything of the kind to-day"
or similarly
81 declare, 1 pity the poor fellows
whose bread and butter depend upon
work like this" he frequently remarked
to himself, laughingly.
Quite late one showery afternoon he
reached hamlet where there was no
hotel, where he finally secured enter
tainment in a private family.
AS he sat on the veranda of the house
where he was temporarily domicilcd,
the first evening of his stay in the place,
the tones of some one singing to the ac-
compartment of piano were audible
and addressing his host-Thomas
Marsh by name-with whom he had
been conversing, he asked:
who is possessed of such wonder
fully fine voice?"
ut is the daughter Of a man who
lives in that house." Mr.. Marsh replied,
indicating with his finger the house
nearest his own, who is fitting herself
to teach music"

Feeding Corn Alone.

There is an unusual temptation this
winter to feed toe much corn to all
kinds of stock, writes j. A. Dobin in the
Ohio Farmer.
Corn is one of the foods that is toe
rich in the heat and fat producing ele-
ments. 1t needs something that con-
tains more Of the bone and muscle
forming elements to make 1t good ra-
ton. Now, the scientist tells us that
the excess of carbohydrates will be
stored up in the system as fat This is
in a measure true. But all OF us COM
mon haysceds know that in practice,
II an animal be fed an exclusive corn
diet, the storing up process goes on all
right for time. Then the appetite
becomes clogged, there is q discourage
ing check in growth and the animal
takes an unthrifty appearance.
Something besides corn should be fed
as the grain ration, for the sake Of va
riety If for no other reason. Relish has
a great influence on digestion, and an
animal will not eat with a good relish
when fed on a single food for any great
length OF time.
Phosphoric Acid in Vegetable Grow
