CORN~AND CORN MEAL

why Should Not Marion County Farm.
erse6Apply the Home Markets
The Star thinks they should.
We are led to this belief because
Of a little Investigation into the
matter; which informs us that the
three leading merchants of Ocala
import weekly 125 barrels, with
'snaA developments of say 25 bar
srels, malxesa total of $50 pack
ages per week. This is much un-
der than over the consumption
and importation. At s2.65 per
barrel the money invested is
within. a, fraction of $500, which
sum instead of being kept at home
TO help our home agriculturalists
to make a. living. and build up
our community, is sent abroad.
This question, with many others,
of vital home import, is worthy
of our careful consideration.
We certainly can grow the raw
material. We have plenty of
land and farmers who, if they
properly utilize their opportuni-
ties, can help themselves as well
as the community. But we hear
objections, such as: owe can't
compete with the rich land and
extensive machinery of the west
and northwest. They grow rs.
to a 100 bushels to the acre, we
can only raise rs to 351 on the
same area; then too, there are no
facilities or mills to prepare the
meal, if it could be ground. Can
we induce our merchants TO buy
the product in. competition with
the imported article besides dur
ing the sumner the rayages. of
the weevil would make our corn
unfitto use forgrinding meal"
In the first place, the county,
under present conditions, should
grow at least sufficient corn for
general home consumption and
for which, during the winter
months, will always find a home
market with corresponding fig
ures for the imported product,
and to which our livery men and
merchants will give the prefer
ence.
Farmers having plenty of land
on which the taxes are the same,
whether utilized or thrown to
waste, with an extra animal and
one additional hand for six months
could make a good per centage
on the investment.
The product is needed-show
the world you can supply it and
with that demonstration you can
induce some man to come among
you who will erect a mill that can
produce the meal and that means
it will be sold and to the parties
who supply the market with that
article.
The objection that corn in
this climate will not keep all the
year round may have some force,
but remember that if you can not
hold the market twelve months
In the year, occupy it at least
half Of that time and by SO do
ing add at least $4,000 to the
productive wealth of Marion
county.
To the general plea of the gen.
eral farmer that it don't and
won't pay to grow corn in COM

leading and most successful saw
mill men, such as J. M. Meffert,

feed supplies cheaper than they

In old times the Dutch. by importing

presently the Dutch product became

But the Dutchmal was no more Sc

The English potters took TO copying
the Dutch patterns, and sold their pot
terry much cheaper, and the north of
England became headquarters for the
Delft china.
Again, however. the spoiler has been

made themselves masters of the art of
reproducing the patterns best liked in
England. and have begun to encroach
on the domain long monopolized by

Persons in the vicinity of Kirk
wood park quite recently witnessed a
battle in mid-air between fish hawk
and large carp which the bird had
taken from the water For week or
more regular visitors to the park have
noticed the bird come up the
Brandywine every afternoon on fish
ing expedition. He was always sue
cessful, but usually caught small fish,
which soon perished in his talons.
On this occasion the hawk caught
larger game than he expected, and
there was terrific battle, which
lasted fully twenty minutes and was
witnessed by large crowd, The
bird was first seen flying gracefully
through the air Suddenly i dived
toward the water. 1t came up with q
large carp in its claws, and the fish
was fully as long as the bird, and APP
peared to weigh about six pounds
The bird, with its prey, started up in
the air, but the fish objected, and
then began the battle.
First the bird had the advantage,
and then the fish would appear to be
ON top The bird repeatedly sank its
hooked beak into the carp, but the
fish was full of fight 1t twisted and
squirmed, and all the hawk could do
was to pose in the air and peck at the
fish. Finally, with one mighty effort
.he fish gave big twist and escaped
from the birds talons. 1t fell toward
the water and the hawk dived after it.
When the fish struck the water it was
so badly injured that it could not get
away before the bird was upon it.
This time the hawk got a better hold
on its prey, and after sinking its talons
deep in its body, picked it with its
hooked beak until the fish was appar-
entity dead. The bird then flew down
the stream and disappeared in the di.
rection of the Delaware river.-Wil-

Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1897-08-15

The sleeves were novel-of white pique to match the skirt. Square epau- lets of the striped material fell over the sleeves, and neck and belt were finished with bands of helitrope ribbon.
 With the gown was worn hat of deep heliotrope straw, trimmed with white plumes. Feathers are on every baS, and if the Audubon society is going to object it should do so at once and wig orously, for all autumn hats are trimmed to overfowing with finery plucked from birds of every degree.
 There is, at present, much more re- making of gowns than of modelling of new designs. First of all, everyIbody's poor: and there is so much in this sea- son's gown that will bear rehandling that it seems quite the thing to do.
 Have you ever considered possibilities of madras shirt waist? A pink one, which became streaked from wear in the sun, was bleached by its owner. The cuffs and collar were removed, and others of blue and white checked ging- ham in the lighter shades put in their place. The new collar is sailor-shaped, and stands five inches apart in front. Then the shirt waist has been cut low and square and trimmed with ruche of six rows of narrow valenciennes lace. Collar and turnover cuffs have narrow edge of the same and a TOW finished each side of the box plait in front.
 In the meantime all the plaits around fhe veaiet rsreYa ant oper a nd tho paxuIVr- designed garment belted in with broad bias band of blue gingham, tied in a butterfly bow.
 The result is as pretty dressing sack as can be found.
 There are other ways of reviving shirt waists. One of last season was remQd- eled as follows:
 The sleeves were removed-thev were of pink and white lawn, like the rest Of the waist-and new ones of white lawn 1 inserted. Then the old sleeves were used to form revers over the arms and simulated bolero fronts on the sides. The boleros, cuffs, collar and corseIet belt, bordered with rows of narrow black velvet, with very striking waist as result.
 All the girls who have duck or pique suits left from last season are remodel l ing them with braid. And if the gown ! is worth the trouble, some go to the ex-
 tent of adding cut-work designs of duck
 of different color on the reyers, slesYes and fronts.
