Street Commissioner Whitcomb
stated to the reporter that the Central
street sidewalk. from Water to Second
streets, would be concerted as soon as
the necessary material was received.
1t seems that the making of good con-
crete sidewalks is really an art. Be
sides the liberal amount of coal tar and
sand that enters into the composition
of the concrete, there is another and
quite important component, so-called
paving pitch, which gives to the walk
the decidedly agreeable elastic tread.
y supply of this paving pitch is ex-
Dected to arrive any day

Some of the mills along the stream
depending on water wheels for their
power, are now down on account of a
lack of water. This may seem singu-
lar to some. but the recent rains have
been 50 that the water has soaked into
the ground and not run into the
streams and ponds. Then the dis
charge at the upper dam through the
gates is guaged by the height of water
in the big pond, and as this is far from
being full, the discharge here has to
be small. This is so done that some
water may be had the year around.

ground with pitchforks, and placed

A Cure for Sanding.
Sanding is a misfortune that not
'infrequently overtakes "a horse that
is allowed to run afield in Florida.
and the following remedy is worth
preserving for a time of need:
For a bad case, give one-half ounce
calomel, made into paste with flour
and a little syrup. Make into a lump
or bolus, pull out the tongue of the
sick animal to it's full length, place
the bolus on the root of the tongue
and release the tongue, and the ami
NAL will swallow the dose. In two
hours give one quart of linseed oil.
This has cured many cases, and no
bad results have followed the use of
the mercury.
1t is much more difficult to relieve
d sanded mule than a horse. A mule
should never be allowed to Craze on
the sandy soils of Florida; that is, if
it is an animal of any value.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-12-30
Florida's Great Need.


In an undeveloped country like
Florida it is essential to growth and
prosperity to stimulate immigration
and investment.
The future of this state depends
upon the development of it's resourc-
es, which are ample, if properly util-
lied, to make happy and prosperous
not only those who are now here, but
millions more
We do not believe that it would be
the part of wisdom to undertake to
boom this state by any false presen-
tation of the claims this section may
have over other parts of the Union
for investigation by sagacious mel
will convince them that nearly all the
elements of success are to be found in
this state. Nature has apparently pro
vided all the resources for the main
tenance of an immense population on
basis of permanent prosperity.
Under these favorable auspices it
would seem that the duty of the citi-
zens of Florida is made manifestly
plain. We should work in harmony
together to promote the development
and advancement of every industry
calculated to rebound to the benefit
of the people.
Of HO1n; l.,
are manifold, equal, if not superior
everything considered, to those O.:
any other state. Nm every hand can
be seen 10y close obervation opportu-
mites for the investment of capita.
with the certainty of a realization Of
profitable returns.
The great obstruction in the way of
the advancement of the material i'm
terests of Florida in the past can be
traced to the fact that her own citi-
zens have never had proper concep,
ton of the situation. What might
have been accomplished years ago has
been neglected, and instead of pro-
gression, in too many instances there
has been retrogression. There has
been manifest too much of a DISPOSE
ton on the part of many to depend
on the efforts of others.
Every citizen owes to himself and
to his neighbors to do something in
the direction of contributing to the
growth and prosperity of the conn
munfty in which he lives. If he is IN
willing to be public spirited, and is
