Taking a New Start.

Mr. G.. III. Jordan, agricultural edi-
tor of the Atlanta Journal, writes:
A few years ago during the month
of February, in the space of one short
night, property representing an in
vestment of two hundred mlLIions of
dollars was destroyed, and where
prosperity and happiness had reigned,
bighted hopes and financial ruin ran
riot over large area of the peninsu-
La. MilGions of whitening orange
groves stood out as grim skeletons of
few hours embrace with the cold
wave, which swept over that section
and resulted so destruc1ively to the
orange growers interests. Previous
to that time | had inspected some of
the beautiful orange groves from Pa
latka to Gainesville, and around Mi
canopy Magnificent trees were drap-
ed in their glistening evergreen foli-
age and profusely dotted over with
the luscious, golden fruit.
Travelling over this same territory
of Florida recently [ noticed only c1us-
tering sprouts that had within the
past few years shot up from the roots
of decaying trees, and nowhere did
my eyes rest upon fruit-bearing trees.
Of course, farther south, where the
freeze did not penetrate, the indusry
is as fine as ever, and the fruit just as
luscious and sweet, for nowhere else
in the world can sweeter, more tempt
ing oranges be produced than in the
land of flowers and perpetual sun
shine.
Although this most enticing indus
try has received such a crushing blow,

Object Lessons as an Incentive to
Good Farming


Good Farming.
The best plan in the world to i'm
part instruction OF amy kind is by OBJ
iect lessons. Some way or other this
sort of knowledge fastens itself on
the mind in way that is never for
gotten and can be called up at amy
time that occasion may require. We
may read about thing a long time
and get no clear or definite idea of
when we, see it, if but a glance we
take in the whole thing and it lis per-
fectly plain and simple thereafter. 1t
is quite: Important that we read all we
cam and broaden our ideas in that
way. This enables us to grasp any
sort of object lessons when it is pre-
sented to us much more readily than
if a thing cOnfronts us and we are
entirely ignorant of it's construction
ers should meet together as neigh
bors or club members and exchange
ideas or discuss the principles and
practices of their common business.
But after all this, if we can then go
and see just how any successful work
is done we can gain more thorough
knowledge of the work than could
otherwise be acquired.
If we desire information upon any
branch of farming, it is not difficult
matter to find some one not far dis
tant who is making it success, and
before we start in, it wild pay to
spend some time, and money to visit
these experts, we may call them, and
with such knowledge as we may be
able to pick up, start in with success
assured. When we start into any
thing and feel certain that it is going
to be success, we can work harder
and suffer less wear and tear of mind
and body than if we are drifting along
in a sort of experimental way, not

are going to be. A successful farmer
will nearly always be found as ready
to impart any desired information as
the searcher after information is to
receive. But when you strike out to
get experience in this way, remember
that the time of the host is valuable
and you should avoid bothering him
as much as possible, and only ask
questions that are necessary to gain
such advice as YOU most desire. Look
around and see how work has been
done and in many instances process
es will fully explain themselves. It
may be that such visits will have to be
made during very busy season, but
the advantages secured will always
fully Justify the time and means eX-
pended.

will result in his obtaining the high

Thirty Acres of Cantaloupes.-I was
informed last year that this same gen.

their attention to diversified industries,
giving to their orange groves a Sec
ondary considera ton.
Orange Groves Renewed.-I am sat-
isfed that within the next five or ten
years if Florida experiences no more

ed groves as formerly. The question
of protection against cold wave by
burning piles of wood around and
through their groves is already being
discussed from practical standpoint,
If preparation is made and carefully
looked after, | can see no reason why
the successful protection of a grove
should not be feasible. believe it will
solve the future success of the orange
growing industry of the State when
ever any risk might be felt for the
groves ont account of late freezes.
While the people are waiting on
their groves they are not idle, but rap
idly developing other industries which
are steadily attracting attention from
all parts of the country. [ refer par
ticuIarly to the truck farming inter-
ests which came directly under my
observation in A1achua county last
week. [ visited the farm of Mr.. T.
DENLY, a thoroughly progressive and
successful vegetable grower. He is
now making a speciality of lettuce. for
shipment to the northern markets.
The soil selected as best suited for
this crop was from rich hammock
land, from which every tree, stump
and root had been carefully removed,
and the soil thoroughly piowed and
enriched. The lettuce had been here
transplanted in nicely laid out rows
about two feet apart, by ten inches in
the drill. 1t is necessary in growing
lettuce for shipment that it be given
distance in order that it head up nice
ly, somewhat like cabbage, to obtain
it's best qualities. These lettuce beds
were perhaps two hundred yards long
by about twenty feet wide, incased
within a plank wall about eighteen
inches high.

Young Men ofthe Greenville
Reformed Church Have
Organized.

About sixteen young men of the Green
| vile Reformed Church.. Ocean and Dam
| forth avenues, met at the church last
night 70 organize a young mems club,
suggested by Pastor Charles E.. Allen a
few weeks ago. Pastor Allen acted as
temporary chairman.
1t was decided to cali the organization
the Olympus Club of Greenville. A con-
~stitution and bylaws was adopted. Ac-
cording to the constitution the club is to
be a fraternal brotherhood of the young
men of the community. The object is to
promote the moral and physical better
ment of the young men. Any young man,
not under sixteen years, Of good character
will be eligible for membership. An cleo
ton of officers will be held next Tuesday
evening. An executive committee of three
members and an athletic committee. also
of three members. will he appointed at the
next meeting.
The committee appointed at a recent
meeting to procure permanent quarters
reported that they had been unable to
make a selection, but would report def
nitely at the next meeting.
1t was decided to dispense with the
initiation fee because it might deter new
members from joining. The dues were
fixed at twenty-five cents per month. pay
able in advance.
Pastor Allen requested the young men
to visit their acquaintance and endeaver
to have them join the club. 1t is expected
that the work of organizing will be COM
pleted at the next meeting. The expenses
of the club are to be paid from the pro-
ceeds of entertainments and athletic
events to be frequently held.

CHOWDERCAvE WAY TO SOUP
Webster Avenue Police and
Firemen Have Their Peri
odicaI Feast.

The officers and men of the Webster
avenue police station and members of
No. "A Engine, enjoyed a splendid feast
Of oxtail soup, green corn on the ear and
watermelon yesterday afternoon. They
enjoy some such feast almost weekly, and
these are looked forward to by all the
regular participants.
Usually they call it a chowder, but yes
terday the piece de resistance of the
menu was a twenty gallon cauldron of
oxtail soup. Each man chips in a bit and
the big feed comes low. The men do their
own cooking.
There are some good chefs among both
the police and firemen, from Fire Battal-
ion Chief Kern and Roundsnan % +"
Noonan down, and some of them are be-
coming well known experts. They have
an ~improvised brick furnace in the yard
in the rear of the building. in which both
the firemen and the police are house. The
soup was allowed yesterday to boil four
hours and a half. and when served the
bones of the several dozen oxtails were
as bare of meat as ivory. The meat had
all gone in the soup" Six cans of to-
matoes, one half bnshel of chopped pota-
toes, lima beans and herbs were used to
thicken. One hundred ears of tender,
juicy green corn were served with the
soup, and half a dozen large watermelons
served. as dessert.
Some of the children in the neighbour
hood generally get in on the feast. and
workmen in Otto's tall surgical instru-
ment factory are never forgotten. They
rush the growler of chowder or soup by
means of cans and ropes. The firemen
have to climb roofs to accommodate
them. Yesterdays feast was voted the
best yet served.
