course the wise farmer will not sell
all his roots at the price offered by the
factories, as that portion he can use
for stock feed is worth more to him
than the cash he can realize
Tobacco is another crop that offers
a fair profit, but is likely to fall into
diSrepute for the reason that it now
receives attention only from the spe-
cialists, and is neglected by the small
farmer. The farmer who neglects all
other crops and devotes his entire at
mistake the orange growers made
when they ignored all other products
and welded themselves to the orange.
When the weather clerk severed the
matrimonial bonds and handed down
the decree of divorce there was no ali
mOny, and the growers were in a sad
plight. If every farmer would cult
vate small patch of tobacco the
money realized from it's sale would be
SO much gained
Aside from the crops mentioned
there is the staple sweet potato, that
grows everywhere in Florida,
and should not be ignored or
forgotten; broom corn that prom
Uses unusual profits; cowpeas for
family use, forage and soil building;
velvet beans for forage and fertiliz-
ing, and perhaps many other products
that will suggest themselves to the
wideawake, progressive soil tiller.

that indomitable spirit with which he
has endowed us, that causes us to look
philosOphically upon the evils that be-
fell us yesterday as mere atoms, as in
finitesimal nothings, as obstacles to
our future progress, development and
prosperity that can be surmounted
and left behind as monuments whose
SCARED facades will speak to posteri-
ty of the unconquerable pluck, deter
mination and enterprise of their pro-
genitOrs.
This spirit, with which our people is
imbued, is certainly a matter for
thanksgiving, for without it the great
orange belt of Florida would to-day be
a barren wilderness.

WHY We Give Thanks.

The man who visited Florida five
years ago Oh Thanksgiving Day, and
makes another visit to the State to-
morrow, and compares our orange
groves of a half of a decade ago (then
our only reliance for prosperous and
happy future) with the groves as they
stand at present, may imagine that
there is more or less of irony in that
clause of our honOred governors pro-
clamatiOn referring to the ''gathered
harvests of the closing year." and 'the
satisfactory returns of our labOrs,"
proclaiming "our obligations to the
Divinity that controls and guides our
destiny" Such, however, is not the
case. While we have suffered much,
we are conscious of the fact that we
might have suffered more, and we are
duly thankful that additional hard
ships and sufferings have passed us
by. We do not whine and complain,
and sit idly with folded hands await
Ing miracle or Moses TO retrieve
our distress or lead us back to the land
of prosperity. We know the hand of
adversely has pressed heavily upon u.s.
but we have armed ourselves for the
battle We have confidence in our
selves and in our ability to build our
future over the foundations of the
past We have the accumulated eX-
periences of past years and labor to
guide us in the work. We have health
and strength and the determination to
achieve success and to overcome the
obstacles that Of late years have con-
frOnted uS-in other words, we intend
to win in spite of all cOntending
forces
Hence
While we cannot consistently Of
fer thanks to Almighty God for full
granaries or luxuriant groves laden
with golden fruit, we can earnestly
thank the Giver of all good things for

Broom Corn and It's Future.

During the past year the farmers in
some sections of Florida, notably in
Polk and Osceola counties, have Civ
ell some little attention to the cultiva-
ton of broom corn. There was no ex-
tensive cultivation of the crop, MAIN
ly for the reason that the planters
We're uncertain of a profitable market.
Then, too, the matter of transporta-
ton made them cautious. They rea-
soned that other sections of the cOun-
try more favorably situated to the
manufacturing centers, could produce
as good material as could be grown in
Florida, and that the Florida product
would have to compete with this ma
terial handicapped by heavy transport
tation charges.
One way out of this difficulty would
have been the establishment of facto>
ries in the various towns and settle
ments contiguous to the fields where
the corn was grown. This plan APP
pears not to have suggested itself to
the growers, however.
Few people, we believe, know how
simple and inexpensive is the machin-
cry required for equipping a broom
factory. This equipment, in fact,
might be owned and operated at a
profit by every grower of the raw ma
terial. a man handy with tools can
make in a short time, and at small eX,
pense, all the "machines'' required for
a "home broom factory" First, is
needed a machine for cleaning the
straw of seeds. This may consist
simply of revolving cylinder provid-
ed with spikes against which the
straw is held. The proper speed is
given the cylinder by a simple ar
rangement of gears or cog wheels.
Next in order is an arrangement for
holding the handle vertically in a
clamp, which is made to turn by the
action of the operators foot on a
treadle that causes the handle and
clamp to turn as the straw is placed
in position and encircled by the wire
The only other machine necessary is
fiat wise for pressing the round
broom when it comes from the wrap
per. When the broom is in this wise

Diversification and Profit.

In another column of this issue will
be found an interview with an eXper.
fenced farmer as to the profits to be
derived from the cultivation of sugar
cane. TO the old residents of the
State-the honest Cracker" who has
wrested his sustenance from ''the
stubborn SOIL" and not depended upon
the importation of foreign capital fol
his daily bread and butter, there is
nothing new in the statement that
money can be made in growing cane
These sturdy people have grown cane
for perhaps a half a century, and OF
late years have made money from
their crops even with their crude and
Anticipated methods Of converting the
cane juice into syrup. We believe that
any of these old-time farmers-men
who have plodded along the even ten
or of their way and seen boOms de-
velop and collapse, have watched the
imitation of value in fictititus repre-
sensations, and who have seen the
bubbles punctured-will tell you that
they can make and have made more
money from sugar cane than from any
other crop. These men speak from eX
perience. They know that from SUI
gar cane they can expect annual re
turns. and not returns every half Dozen
years. They know that the crop is a
certain one, and has no enemies.
One point in cane culture, greatly in
it's favor, is that it can be followed in
every section of the State. Certainly
in some localities the yield is larger
and more profitable than in others, but
we think there is no place inc Florida
even on the orange ridges, where il
was once claimed that nothing but or
anges could be where cane
culture and the manufacture of syrup
if intelligently pursued, will GGt yielC
a large profit per acre than the cotton
fields of the South or the wheat acres
of the West
If it was here that cane culture
proved profitable in days gone by
when the methods of manufacture
were crude and wasteful, it certainly
seems that now, when the knowledge
of correct and economical manufac
ture is so thoroughly disseminated
that this profit should be largely aug
mented
The way, however, to make cane cul
tUre profitable in Florida is to diver
sify it with other crops. 1t is not ad
visable to neglect all other products
and devote your entire attention tt
cane. Diversity your products, and
if you should fail in one you would
have others to fall back on. With the
establishment of cassava factories ii
different sections each farmer ShOulC
should have a few acres of these
plants. Although the price offered by
the starch factories five or six dollars
per ton) seems small, there is mar
gin of profit even at that price. Oh

it's fiat shape. After this it is trimmed
and is ready for market
The tools necessary for the factory
may be purchased for dollar or two
and the only material the maker IS
compelled to buy consists of handles,
wire and Irvine.
Of course this outfit is only suggest
ed for plants operated by individual
growers. Factories established on
more extensive scale, by the COOP
erative system OF otherwise, for work
ing UP the product of community,
would necessarily have a better equip
ment
The profit of the home manufacture
ing plan to the grower is obvious. The
straw in a broom might, if sold in it's
raw state, yield the grower three or
four cents, perhaps less; made into
broom it would bring him from Is to
80 cents, according to the amount of
expense and labor put in the work.
The cost of material used, aside from
the straw, would probably cost but
little more than the straw.
There has recently been organized a
broom straw combine, which will
eventually take the form of the inevi-
table trust Speaking Of this and the
present outlook for the industry in
Florida and elsewhere, the Times
Union and Citizen says:
cit is by filling the little gaps that in
ventors become millionaires; it is in
the little industries that communities
grow prosperous, and the little crops,
planted with judgment and marketed
with common sense, bring the farmer
more clear profit than the great sta
pies all can grow. Especially is this
! true in Florida, where an exceptional
climate offers the widest range and
the fullest expansion for the work of
the brain. The man who has acres
upon acres and depends on unskilled
labor, must confine himself, perhaps,
to standards where long continued ex-
| perimentS have laid down rules and
established channels of marketing, but
| the thinking owner of little home
stead must get rich on something
! higher than his muscle.
''Every acre of decent land in this
State will grow broom corn, and ev-
cry farmer knows how to cultivate
and save the crop, but who would
think there was fortune in it? Year
| by year it will pay better than many
crops we grow; with a few simple ap-
pliances a factory might be started
that would give employment to all the
children of a neighborhood, and save
many dimes to the people of the
State in giving better material for
their money. In addition to all this,
a kindergarten would be given for
ourselves and an object lesson furnish
ed for those who had the capital to in
vest in such enterprises. But this
year, the farmer who had a patch of
broom corn would have reaped more
than usual, as we may see from the
following item in review of the mar
kets:

ADMIRAL DEWEY IN PERFECT HEALTH Arrives at Trieste on Board His Flag
 ship Olympia. IL PICOLO WELCOMES HIM Foreign COnSulS Made Formal Calls During
 the Day. THIS MAKES HIS THIRD VISIT Americans Find Austrian Weather Cool and Refreshing-Th Hero of Ma nila Bay Makes Good Im-
 pression on Everyone. 
THIS MAKES HIS THIRD VISIT

Trieste, Austria, July 2o.-The United States cruiser Olympia, with Admiral Dewey on board, arrived here this morning. The principal paper, Il Picolo, has fiatter- ing article welcoming the admiral to Aus tria.
 Admiral Dewey said to the Associated Press correspondent here today that the passage of the Olympia from Port Said was pleasant one. The Olympia will remain here about two weeks.
 Admiral Dewey's health is perfect. He has not decided whether he will go to Carlsbad, as had been announced, but 1t is not probable that he will do so The admiral intends to visit Vienna.
 Upon her arrival here the Olympia fired a salute of twenty-one guns, which was returned from the fort, and four Aus trian and one Greek warships subsequently,. Admiral Dewey received visits from the port authorities, the United States minister to Austria, MT. Addison Harris, and the staff of the legation and the consuls for the United States in Austria.
 The foreign consuls were received by Ad- miral Dewey on board the Olympia during the forenoon.
 l0e OlyInpld Hdu u Ddu run tO <AuSh against a monsoon, but from that point on the weather was fine. Admiral Dewey expects to remain on board his flagship with the exception of occasional trips on shore. The Americans here find the wealth CT cool and refreshing, although the ther- mometer indicated S6 degrees on shore.
 Most of the chief government officials are absent on leave. The British consul, Mr. Churchill, was the first caller on Admiral Dewey, and was saluted in the most cor dial manner. The United States minister, Mr. Harris will give a banquet in honor of Admiral Dewey.
 Admiral Dewey passed the day quietly on board the Olympia. He expressed himself as delighted with the scenery in the Gulf of Triest. This is his third visit here, his first being in 1867. He is an old friend of the Austrian Admiral Tegethoff and talked over the Italian battles of Lissa, the thirty third anniversary of which occurred today. Admiral Dewey has made good impres- sion upon all who have come in contact with him, and his unaffected modesty has won for him golden opinions.

New York, July 20.-A marvellous change has come over the strike in this city. Last night there was rioting from one end of Second avenue to the other. There was plomlse, too, by General Master Workman Parsons of complete tie-up of the trolly upes in Manhattan with it's consequent in spinng effect upon the Brooklyn strikers. general tieup nas not come by any means in New York. There was little or no riot ing on Second avenue tonight CT today. The cars on that line ran throughout the day almost, as they had run previous to the strike. The Eighth avenue line, which the strike officials last night promised last night would be dead today, was mov- ing right on time, with only hitch now and then far up in Harlem, where Q few roueIhs had a clear field
 There is no strike on the Madison avenue line, scheduled meeting of the ear men of that line having fzzled out tonight. Practically no troly line in New York city is affected beyond Second avenue.
 The DeKalb lines. as we'll as the "L" roads, are carrying the greater part of the traffic between Brooklyn and Manhattan. A few cars were run under very slow head way on Marcy avenue, but they were taken off at ngfnt Cars were not run on the Ocean avenue, Hicks street and Graham avenue lines, and until matters are settled cars will not be run at night on the Fifth and Seventh avenue. Flatbush and Green Point lines.

Cleveland, O., July 20.-Rioting was re- stunned in the street railway strike this evening, serious outbreaks having occurred in several places. About o'clock dyna- mite cartridge was exploded under the wheels of an Euclide avenue car at the cor ner of Erie and Prospect streets The wheels of the car were destroyed by the explosion, which was heard for distance of two miles, and one woman, passenger, tainted, but nobody was hurt. There was no crowd in the vicinity, nor was anybody seen to place the cartridge. Earlier in the evening mob attacked a cross-town car on Wilson avenue, near the corner of Lex ington avenue. Stones were thrown, and the non-union conductor and motorman fired revolvers above the crowd
 About the same time all the available po- lice on duty in the down town districts were called to the Humboldt street viaduct, on the Broadway line, where a riot was in progress. A crowd of thousand men and boys was engaged in pling Instructions on the tracks. Ropes were thrown over the trolley wires in the attempt to pull them down. Only one policeman was on duty at the viaduct. He was stoned and driven from the scene, and a girl was hit with stone and seriously hurt. Three patrol wagon loads of police responded to the call, and the mob was dispersed.
 A crowd of three hundred attacked a car in South Brooklyn, where the track had been obstructed. The conductor, with revolver, held the mob at bay while the motorman removed the Instructions, and the car proceeded. Another car wos stoned Ut the same place later Another mob at tackled q car at the Petrie street bridge. The windows were smashed, but nobody WAS hurt.

USED IN CLEVELAND,
 NEW YORK STRIKERS PEACEFUL

New York, July 2D.-The strike situation in Brooklyn is practically unchanged. Few cases of violence were repoTes1 s.sS the only excitement was caused by the arrest of Thomas J. Casey, former division su- perintendent of the Nassau line. Homer T. Deane, an inspector of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company accused Casey of having interefered with him in the performance of his duties and urged him to join the strike. Casey was admitted to bail pending his ex- animation tomorrow Much speculation was indulged in regarding the outcome of the disagreement between Albert Johnson, former president of the Nassau Railroad company and MT. Rossiter, president of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company. MT. Johnson had heard that MT. Rossiter had accused him on Wednesday of instigating the plot to wreck the elevated structure of the Fifth Avenue railroad and spent a large part of the day in hunting up evil dence to substantiate what he had heard.
 President Rossfter stated positively today that none of the striking employees would be taken back except those who would re- port for work by tonight The strikers say they have no ceders from their ranks. While they are keeping up a bold front and claiming they will win eventually it looks us if the strikers are beaten.
 In order to make the strike successful, 1t would be necessary to get the elevated To- comotive engineers out. but there k no likelihood of this happening.
