WHY Mistakes Are Made.

We extract the following from St.
Augustine letter to the Citizen;
Congressman W. S. Linton, of Wis
consin, accompanied by his mother and
Congressman Crump and Mr.. Crump'
arrived here on Saturday from week 8
visit to Linton. The founder of the city

poets in store. In the settlement of Lin
ton several individuals went there and
engaged land who had neither means or
experience. In consequence, they proved
| failures. In attempts to justify them
selves, they claimed that they had read
in Florida papers that a man needed
neither money nor experience to make
living in the state, and it proved a
bitter disappointment to them to learn
otherwise. These men have either been
provided with work or have moved from
the colony, and no dissatisfied element
remains.
The following are questions that are
frequently asked land agents: How
much cash capital should a man have to
get good start in Florida? Will it pay
to ship horses, cattle, etc? Shall we take
our household and farming implements?
The land departm of the Florida
East Coast Railway has, in printed form,
the following answers to these impor-
tant questions, which are sent out on
inquiry:
| The first question is one of vital i'm
portance. Many people make a great
mistake in assuming that, because the
climate is fine, fruit plenty, and the
sell yields quick returns, they can live
cheaply, and begin on little or no cap
ital. These are the people who fire.
uuently make failures and become dis
couraged at the start. Bear in mind
that the country is Jimbered, and that
the land must be cleared before you can
plant crop. This means hard work
at the start. You must build your
house, make the first payment on the
land, clear whatyou intend to cultivate,
and plant crops and fruit trees. Pine
apples will not yield a crop until twenty
two months after planting; lemons, or
anges and grapefruit, four or five years
after planting. In the meantime the
farmer must grow vegetables and field
crops, and while these yield quick and
profitable returns in their season, the
grower must not expect continuous
routine of crops from which an income
can be derived until his pineapple
plantation and orchard shall begin to
bear. Our advice is that single man
or woman should not have less than
$500 in cash to begin with. A man
with family should have at leas
500. While it is not impossible to
get along with less, it is safer to have
more.
To the second question we reply that
as the farms here are much smaller than
IN the north and west, many horses are
not used in cultivating the fields. One
mule or horse will do all the work on
ten or twenty-acre field. AS the horses
can be purchased ct reasonable prices
here, we would not advise bringing them
from the north. A good cow can be
had here at from SIS to $50. The
Jersey stock seems best adapted to this
climate, and our sadvice is to bring one
or two if you Can afford it. Pasturage
is good the entire year in many parts of
the east coast.
AS to the third question, family
should bring such household goods as
they need. If you can make up car
load, including car or two, take all

ne distinguishing characteristics Of
these farmers are industry, economy,
honesty and morality. Nor are they
less noted for their hospitality. Friendly
visiting, and receiving and entertaining
visitors are old customs, and many
social enjoyments incident thereto are
among the pleasures and amusements
that lend to their holidays their sweet
charms, and serve to tighten the tolls
of everyday life.
The livestock on farm usually con-
slstS Of from two to six head of horses
or mules, from three to six COWS, a
dozen or SO head Of young cattle of the
best breeds, sheep and number of
swine always kept in pens, which are
often fatSened when not over year old
and made to weigh from 500 to 600
pounds. Cows that give 20 quarts of
milk daily are common, and from 10 to
IA pounds of butter per week from one
cow is nothing strange.
These farms are as productive 10 day
as they were 100 years ago and on most
of them very little commercial fertilizer
has been used, on some none at all.
Manure is the principal fertilizer, which
is made by feeding all the hay, oats and
corn produced on the farm during the
winter season to cattle. Many farmers
in the fall of the year buy from 10 to
81 head of steers, which are tied in the
large stables already mentioned and
these fed from five to six months when
they are ready for the butcher, or are
shipped alive to European markets.
The following item from late paper
will explain the profit made.
'Moul & Gross yesterday shipped 30
head of fat cattle fed by John H. Rutter.
They were fed by Mr. Rutter 81 months
and weighed when stalled 781 pounds
each, and when sold averaged 1,2004
pounds, making an average gain of 4193
pounds. They were bought at 1928 per
hundred. They were bought at $25. 81
per head and sold at 1922, making a
gain per head of 1923. 81" This paid the
farmer very we'll for the grain and hay
fed, and he had large quantity of rich
manure with which to fertilize his COM
ing crops.
The farms and homes of Lancaster
county, Pa, are the pride of America,
and as beautiful and happy home is
the best preparation thata mortal can
have for the mansion in the skies; it
should be the interest of every member
of a family in Florida to make home as
beautiful as possible; and this may be
done with little outlay of money and
time. A bare, dllapidated home implies
a barren life, and the more pleasure you
can have in your home, the less the
members of your family will be inclined
to seek it outside, and the quicker
strangers will be induced to locate here
Implanted houses, and general dilapida-
ton about our homes, will never bring
settlers worth having. There is in all of
US chord of refinement and dellcacy
that beauty alone can touch; and no
home education is complete where no
effort has been made to touch that sub
tie chord. The calm joys of q pleasant
home haunts one through life, and no
ambition can shut out the memory of

sources of this state. The aggregate
whole Of the am ount Of money lost by q
failure to establish factories is immense,
much greater than one would suppose
without investigation. Every dollar
sent to Maryland for canned tomatoes
is drain upon the resources of this
state. AS long as this policy is pursued
the advancement of the states interests
will be retarded. Canneries are needed
everybody knows it, and yet for some
unaccountable reason their establish
ment is delayed. Thousands of dollars
are lost each year by the citizens of
Gainesville and Alachua county by to-
matoes and other vegetables rotting on
the ground. How long will the people
stand in their own light? When will
factories be put in operation &C Gaines

There seems to be a prevailing idea in
Florida, says the Orlando Reporter, that

thousands of tons of stuff to go to waste

tomatoes, etc., to supply the whole state
with such goods, if canned, during the
winter, yet there Is not a cannery in the
county, and every year about one-half
Of our vegetable crop goes to waste on
the ground.
How long will the people of Florida
stand in their own light in this matter
That is the pertinent question put by
the Sun. Just as long as they do they
will be robbing themselves to make en-
terprizing people in other states rich by
paying two prices for goods they can
raise and put up at home.
Along this line the Southern States
Magazine, published in Baltimore, thus
com ments:
The benefit Of small canneries is we'll
known, but as yet this industry has
made comparatively little progress in
the fruit and vegeta BILE growing districts
Of the south. The idea prevails that
plant for preserving fruit and vegetables
must of necessity be expensive. This is
mistake, however, for apparatus of
the most modern design, inclu ling
everything necessary to preserve the
products in excellent cond ton. can be
bought at price which makes il posi-
BILE for an outfit to be purchased by
individual growers. For instance, a
plant for preserving 1000 three-pound
cans daily, can be purchased for 800.

charge at Washingtons that the great
purpose of this Bureau is in measure
defeated by introducing too many
changes and refnements, that interest

many. This Bureau was established for
