of crops depends somewhat on local
ity. For Manhattan and points west
and probably for most of the uplands
of the eastern and southern parts of
the state red Kafir corn is better
crop than Indian corn. In the past
nine years at the Kansas Experiment
Station red Kaf1r corn has yielded
about one-third more grain per acre
than corn, and our experiments show
that for fattening steers and pigs
Kafir corn and Indian corn are prac-
tically equal, pound for pound. If

The Florida Limited for St. Augustine,

The first train of the season left the Penn
sylvania station Monday, January II, at IL 80
A. M, via the Southern Railway, F. G. & p,
and Florida East Coast. All available space
was occupied. The Florida Limited is one
of the most superbly furnished trains that
ever left New York and st. Augustine. You
lunch today in New York and tomorrow in
st. Augustine. The train is most exquistely
furnished and every device which may add
to the welfare, comfort and enjoyment of the
passengers has been provided. The draw
ng-room sleeping cars are of the latest plan
of Pullman, and the compartment cars, which
are operated only by this line, are models of
perfection, as the design for the cars are such
that parties occupying compartment are
free from the outside world. These rooms
are so arranged that they can be used sepa-
rately or thrown into suite of private apart
ments and are indispensable in complete
ness, etc. Families going to Florida on this
train have as much privacy and comfort as
they could enjoy within the portals of their
princely mansions. The dining cars are of
the latest and the markets of the north and
south are both drawn upon literally for the
best and most seasonable supplies, while the
cuisine and service are of the highest order.
The library car is furnished with abundance
of easy chairs, sofas and writing desks, where
stationery is found for the passengers use.
The observation car might be termed the
parior or reception room of the moving
palace. 1t has large plate-glass windows on
the sides and ends, from which the fast fl ying
panol anna may be viewed with comfort.
Among the large number of prominent
passengers on the Limited were the delegates
to the Fishery Congress at Tampa, Fla, from
the states of Maine, Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, Connecticut. New York, New Jersey,
| Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia.
