How About POrcupine?

The British Columbia alien exclusion act will undoubtedly bring some bene. fits to the American miner, and pros pecting on this side will be carried on extensively the coming season, which will no doubt open up many new plac- CT grounds on the American side. The reports frem Porcupine are very favor able and the rush to that district will soon commence. Hundreds of claims have been taken, the value of which are as yet unknown, but we have every req son to believe that the Discovery claims are not the best that will be found in that district, Those from the East should come to Douglas Island and Juneau and buy their outfits at one of these places. Miners will not need a Klondike outfit for the POrcu pine. and the Alaska merchants will sell them just what they need and no more, and at Seattle prices, thereby saving freight charges from the Sound up.

Granting to Canadians free port of entry on the Alaska coast, either on Lynn canal or some other place near by,would be great injury to Seattle and her business men are smart enough to catch on. The Queen City has stolen the best part of the Klondike trade and if she had just kept on saw ing wood" and not talked so much 1t would have been better for her. While she was doing her outftting her news papers made such fuss over the mat ter that the Canadians turned green with envy and they went to work to get back some of the lost trade, and they are going to do it. The Chamber of Commerce will "resolute" severely, but the Canadians will get the port just the same.

4 WORD OF CAUTION.

The old saying that 9" a man, who is
naked can't give away his shirt is only
another way of saying that you can't
give what you haven't got. The man
can't give free medical advice" or any
other kind of medical advice who hasn't
got medical education and certificate
TO the fact, in the form of diploma.
And in this particular woman has no
more privilege than a man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu-
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer of free medical advice made
by DR.. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. Y, has been initiated
by so many, who without any medical
qualifications claim to give "medica1
advice that word of caution is neces-
sary.
Don't write for medical advice to any
one man Or woman, who is not ply
sician. If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors SO
that you may recognize them IF they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law
Do not forget that there is just as
much difference in doctors as in artists
Every little town has it's artist who draws
and paints. But these " artist" gener-
ally paint copies of the works of great
artists like Mi1let There was only one
Mi11et.
There is only one Invalids Hotel and
Surgical Institute, such as DR.. Pierce
presides over. Thousands of women
come or write to DR.. Pierce who have
found no help at the hands of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or ai1ing woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con-
suit DR.. Pierce, by letter, free. Such con-
situations are absolutely private. Each
letter is treated as a sacred confidence,
and each answer is sent in a plain en-
ve1ope, bearing no printing upon it.
In this way offensive questions and
repu1sive examinations may be avoided.

Cassava For Scrub Stock.

Can the Florida farmer grade up his

Give Them a Little College Expert
ence.

ence.
1t is the duty Of every farmer to send
the boys and girls off to school some-
where before they start out in life, If
it isn't anything more than IL term at
the agricultural college, taking i'll what
is usually known as the winter course.
A great many valuable things can be
picked up by the wide-awake boy or
girl in the three months spent in tax
ing this course at the State agricul-
tural college. Even if the boy or girl
has been raised on a farm where
things are done in. good shape, they can
pick up many items that VIII help
them along in after life. If there is
nothing more gained, the charging of
ones circle of acquaintances is worth
all it costs. But we are apt to be-
come wrapt up in our own conceit
when we do not get out and see how
the rest of the world moves along, and
for young man to start out in life in
a rut augurs ill for his success We
know of good many cases where
young men have taken this winter
course in agriculture and come home
very enthusiastic in their calling, going
to work with renewed energy that
soon set them on their feet, thus paw
ing the way to success in life. 1t a
farmer will only encourage his chill
dren to make an extra effort to secure
the means necessary to carry them
through winter term at college they
can and will do it in some way or 9th
er, and they'll always be glad they did
it.-Farmers' Guide.

pounds of Sumatra tobacco to the acre.
We have far better natural land than
he had, for | know where he grew it.
I have raised 600 pounds per acre
without a drop of fertilizer on my
land. l would be willing to let tl.e
shade alone, if 1 could get water when
ever needed.
1t is a fact that we can grow nice
Sumatra wrappers. The day is past to
make much out of Cuba seed. 1t seems
that Leon county has bad name with
some people, in regard to tobacco cul-
ture. I've been growing it in a sn4all
way ever since 1891, and have never
failed to sell at a profit. Buyers hard
ly ever come here, but carry samples
to them, and sell that way.
What I'd like to see is a syndicate
formed with good men at the head Of
it, who have the welfare of the county
at heart, and first-class superintend-
ents, to grow tobacco. 1t would take
a deal of money, but it certainly is
money making business. If l had the
money l would not hesitate to put it
out in growing tobacco.
The Owl Company spends barrels of
money in Gadsden county every year,
and don't you know they would not
keep at it so long if they were losing
on it?
Now, / want to say to any man who
has money lying idle in the banks; go
to thinking, and put some Of it in cir
culation, and help your poor people to
earn some of it. l would not go wild
over the subject; try a few acres at
first, then if it paid increase some next
year. I would advise that no man put
money in tobacco culture, unless he
knows how or can get some one that
does know, to handle it. Several Of us
here are open to any business PROPOSE

bacco in our neighborhOOd, or county,

Orange Shipping in Polk County.

Orange Shipping in Polk County.
1t is a pleasant sight, says the Bar
tow Courier Informant, to see whole
trains Of wagons coming into town
loaded with oranges for shipment.
Messrs. Lyle Il Co., have been busy
for week or more gathering and
shipping the fruit from the Lake Han
cock grove MI. Lyle says that the
crop is ripening nearly month earlier
this year than last, and that we are
considerably ahead of other counties
in this respect
Of course our crop and the entire
crop is short of what it was a few
years ago, but Polk will ship large
quantity this year, and owing to the
fancy prices, it will put large amount
of money into circulation.
The times are better all over the
North, and the people will have or
anges even at fancy prices, and as
the supply is so limited, those who
have any to sell are sure of good
money.
Mr.. Frank Hough brought in % to
100 boxes last week from his groves
west of Homeland and sold them to
