Timely Suggestion This

never happy unless its burrow is
shared by a colony of either one or the
other of these, if not of both. Find a
gopher hole and uncover it and you
will be sure to find from half a dozen
to a dozen or more rattlesnakes, and
maybe - or 20 lizards of various sizes
and colors and degrees of ugliness oc-
cupying it with its proprietor. The
gopher plainly loves the companion
ship of these deadly things, although
it is itself as meek and harmless as "a
dove.
NO dweller in those parts of Florida
ever goes anywhere about without a
bag slung over his or her shoulder.
This is to put gophers in, as some are
pretty sure to be found pasturing in
the wild grass patches. The moment a
gopher is surprised by person with
bag it shuts itself securely in its
shell and the cracker picks it up and
tumbles it into the bag. The gopher
is likewise trapped by digging hole
close to the entrance of its burrow and

QUEER FLORIDA GOPHERS.
Durrowing Turtles That the Natives
Eat Like Epicures DO
Tcrrapin.

"The most interesting creature ever
saw in Florida" said a New York man
who spent the winter there, was the
burrowing turtle. This turtle is pc
culiar to Florida, and it is an impor-
tant factor in the domestic economy
of the cracker population, for the Flori-
da cracker dotes on the gopher-thas's
what they call this burrowing turtle
and thinks it is the finest thing in the
edible line that ever existed.
another thing that induces tle
gopher TO dig its burrow out of the
reach of water is that in those dry and
sandy places the rattiesnake and ya"i-
us kinds of hideous-loolling lizards
are most plentiful, and the gopher is

Americans replying and pressing for

How He Salts His Cattle.

Gus Steward, one of the best far
mers near Wilde, called to see us
while in town Monday, and while
here gave us his idea of saltlng cat
tie. He says always put the salt
on the backs of the cattle and not
on the ground. BY so doing the
salt works through the hair and
forces the cattle to lick themselves
which keeps the hair nice and CLOS
sy. Should there be any wolves in
their back or vermin on them the
salt will destroy them on short no.
tice He claims he has followed
this plan Of sailing for fifteen years
aud has always has nice, healthy
cattle. He says when he starts in
to the pasture with a sack Of salt
every COW begins to lick her back.
