Florida Beggar Weed.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
has recently been giving considerable
attention to the Florida Beggar Weed
(desmOdium tortuosum), which is an
erect annual native of the West In
dies, and perhaps also, of Southern
Florida. 1t being a leguminous plant,
and rather a prolific grower, growing
from three to ten feet high, attra cts
considerable attention as a means of
fertilizing the sandy soils of Florida
and may be found of value elsewhere
It is said to be closely related to the
beggar weed or beggar lice, of north
ern woodlands and prairies This spe-
cies is adapted to cultivation, either as
a forage or for soil renovation in sub
tropical regions, some parties estimat-
ing it as having equal value with the
velvet bean. Those interested in the
matter can get the descriptive folder
or circular, No. Is, on the Florida beg
gar weed. by addressing the U. s. De.
partment of Agriculture.

appear to be doing very well.
Next to the pinery we should say his

Big Cattle Sales.

One of the largest cattle deals ever
made in Florida was successfully ne
gotiated last week, says the Kissim-
NEE Valley Gazette. e. o. Morgan
and his sOn-in-laW, e. L. Lesley, of
Bassinger sold to w. Fl. Towles five
thousand head of stock cattle for the
Cuban market. The price is not made
public, but is not far from fifty thou
sand dollars.
The cattle are now being gathered
on the Kissimmee Valley range to be
driven down to Punta Rassa, and Mr..
Towles is now in New York, charter
ing a steamer to carry them to Cuba.
Messrs. Morgan and Lesley have
also just sold seven hundred head Of
fine beef cattle from the Kissimmee
river range to r. e. Whidden, of Az
cadia, for the Cuban market They
are being driven right away.
Allen Chandler, of Fort Drum, has
just sold to e. o. Morgan, of Basin
ger, nine hundred and forty-one head
Of stock cattle for eight thousand dol
lars for immedite delivery, and four
hundred fifty-nine head for future de-
livery, for four thousand dollars, these
last being $3.50 per head. Total con-
sideratiOn, twelve thousand dollars.
A syndicate of we'll known stock
men and dealers have closed a con-
tract to ship eight hundred head of
first class beef cattle to Tampa, for
Cuba, at first-class price, probably
sixteen dollars.

Mothers advice is worth more than
the advice of any other woman to the
daughter who is perplexed by the prob
lens of physical health and comfort.
There's no need therefore to "wr1te to
z0onsan," who is stranger.
There may, however, be need for
bhysician's advice to supplement the adj
vice of the mother. In such case the
offer of free consultation by letter, made
by DR.. Pierce, opens the way to health,
and at the same time avoids the un-
pleasant questionings, the repulSlve ex-
aminations and offensive local treatments
which less experienced physicians often
insist on.
Any sick or ai1ing woman is invited to
write to DR.. Pierce, Buffalo, in the strict
est privacy. Each letter is held as a
sacred confidence and it's answer is sent
in plain envelope, bearing no printing
upon it.
Do not be misled by advertisements
offering "medical advice" which are
published by those who not being ply
sicians are not qualified to give such adj
vice Any physician or doctor who has
a legal and professional right to the title
will publicly claim that title. Those
who offer "medica1 advice" and invite
you to write to woman do not claim
that the woman is doctor. The {" medi-
cal advice" of an unprofessional woman
is Just as dangerous as the "medlcal
advice of an unprofessional man. In
more than thirty years DR.. Pierce and his
staff of nearly a score of medical special
lists, have successfully treated over half
million women. You can write without
fear as without fee to DR.. R. V. Pierce,

What We Owe Ourselves.

That "self preservation is tie first
law of nature" is a proposition the
truth of which has never been ques-
toned. TO resist bodily injury is as
natural as to comply with any other
of natures laws. From the lowest to
development this principle exists, and
may be therefore very wisely cOnced-
ed to be a divine attribute-a God
given quality. How much of this &C
cepted dogma does the public general
ly apply to the preservation Of health,
and the prevention Of disease and NOR
tally? 1t is acknowledged that one is
justified in preventing by force, even
to the extent of taking life, any act of
violence whereby life is jeopardized,
but with what force does he resist the
attack of the insidious enemy disease
whereby life is as certainly threat
ened, and health-that greatest Of all

who wish to open the factory:
Interest in cassava increases. The
DeLand starch factory has proved a
success and has a capacity of fifteen
tons of raw material per day. 1t has
paid Sc per ton for caSSava, a price
satisfactory both to farmer and man
ufacturer. 1t is grown as easily as
corn and is gradually receiving more
and more attention.
The small beginning with little cap
ital at DeLand promises greater things
in the future, for, in every Florida
neighbOrhOOd, a small beginning with
like good judgment may do as well.
Starch is staple on the American
market-it ranks with flour or sugar,
and it will keep. We can replace the
orange with half hundred small
things and be safer in doing so, while
RELOCATING the orange to it's legitimate
place as a side issue or supplementary
crop.
In western county worn business
man from the East came to seek re-
lief from rheumatism, which had dis
torted his limbs and tortured his body.
He bought forty acres and expected,
at the most, surcease from pain and a
peaceful old age. But the Yankee
spirit was in his bones; he dug an az
tesian we'll for good water, he saw
power wasted and as his pains grew
less his mind worked. He put down
another well, and joined the flow of
the two to get twenty horse power.
Then he put in some saws and a little
planer. He experimental with some
woods in the neighbOrhOOd, and he
has now a grist mill and cabinet shop,
which furnishes employment to sever
al families about him, and is steadily
drawing a little stream of money to

Here are but two Illustrations of
many, and they may be profitable to
all. When the manufacture of starch

Chickens all the Year-Nr. J. e.
Coen, of the Flat Woods, two miles
west Of town, has demonstrated that
chickens may be Matched and success
fully grown every month of the year
in Florida. We are glad to publish this
fact for the reason that many people
here, who are in that business in a
large or small way, are of the opinion
that success can only be had during
the cooler months, that during the hot
months Of midsummer the young are
beset with f1eas and lice and sore head
and the eggs do not hatch well. MI.
Coen's plan is very simple; he keeps
the coop and nests and roosts clean
and free from pests and does not al
low them on the premises much less
on his chicks. He has only been in
the business a short while, but he has
a large lot of fine chickens, of all sizes.
