Giant Watermelons.

Just as predicted A. d. Alder
man has beaten all former records Oh
the size of watermelOns.
He brought in load last week COIL
sisting Of eight melons which weighed
654 pounds or an average Of 81 81
pounds each. The largest one weighed
an even 100 pounds, his second best
was 81 1-2, third 30, and fourth 9S
These four making a total of 37G -
pounds, and we predict that No ole
grower in the State can make an equal
showing
The melons were exhibited for few
days at the Allen Seed COmpany's
store, and a photograph was made of
the four largest to he used for having
a cut made for advertising purposes
Some of them We're cut and a large
number of our citizens were invited to
assist in eating, and they will all testi-
fly to the excellent quality of the mel
ons. The rinds were not overly thick
and the pulp was solid and sweet.
Mr.. Girardeau, the originator of this
variety, the Triumph, has offered lib
eral prizes for the largest ones grown
this season, and we expect to learn
that Mr. Alderman takes one or more
of the premiums.-Bar Informant.

Truckers Who Made Money.

Some of the truck farmers insist that
little, if any money, is to be made i'll
that line of business. The experience
and consequent opinions of many 9th
ers is to the contrary.
Yesterday NJ. B. Lyman, postmaster
and merchant at Lantana and one or
the most careful and conservative
business men in Dade as we'll as being
the best posted man as to the crop re-
turns of the territory between mere
and Fort Lauderdale, was in town for
a short time. The Sun man had Il
few moments chat with him, and in
response to query as to whether
some of the truckers really did rs we'll
as reported, he gave the following as
some figures that were absolutely cor
rect. to his knowledge.
Will Forrey, from 1 IL acres, ship,
ped 900 crates from which he realized
81 300 net returns.
f. w. Palmer, on an adjoining tract
of the same acreage shipped 90 crates
which netted him $1,000.
These are a couple of items The Sun
man had time to note in the very brief
and hurried interview he had with Mr..
Lyman; but these are enough to show
that some of the truckers find their
calling lucrative enough to suit most
any reasonable person.-West Palm

For the Intending Settler.

The following timely advice to the
prospective new settler is taken from
the Farmer and Fruit Grower:
Don't go empty handed. A little cap
ital is just as necessary to get start
in Florida. as anywhere else.
Don't go if you are doing we'll
where you are. Florida is no place for
Iiscontented folks.
Don't go expecting to find a cOun-
try where you can live with little or
no work unless you have an income
that will support you.
Don't go if you are out of job and
can get one at home. | YOU can't find
employment where you are known you
will not be likely to find it among
strangers.
Don't 60 if you are semi-invalid
hoping to earn enough to pay expen-
SEES during the winter and then re-
turn to the North in spring Florida is
full of such deluded unfortunates.
Don't go if you are merely the pro
mOter" of splendid business

ing capitalists ready to put up the
cash against your "eXperience' and
pay you fat salary as manager of a
company.
Go if you have capital to lend or in
vest in any legitimate manufacturing
enterprise.
Go if you are plucky and energetic
and know how to embrace an opportu-
nifty when you see it.
Go if you like a mild climate better
than a cold One-a good {" all the year

Go if you are a horticulturist. vine
grower, truck gardener or a good me,

Go if you are willing to assist in de-
velOping the wonderful resources Of
the State and become a permanent
citizen.

extensively. On small farms the meth
cd enables the farmer to carry more
live stock than by the old way of field
pasturing. On larger farms the meth
cd does away with good deal or
fencing and saves the time it always
takes to keep pasture field fences, es-
pecially those adjoining growing crops,
in good repair Those who have tried
this sOiling plan prefer it. Mr. w. +.
Brown, in the Commercial Gazette, has
the following excellent article on the
subject:
What is meant by soiling is cutting
the green food and feeding it to the
stock instead of pasture land. On small
farms, which the owners wish to stock
heavily, it is often practiced with
great profit, as it enables the owner to
carry double the amount of stock
which he could to pasture, does away
with fences and so saves and supplies
all the manure so as to get the great
est amount of good from it. There is
no doubt as to the profitableness of the
plan under the conditions named, and
if l had a small farm | should certain
ly adopt it. There are some Objec
tons to the plan which seem fOrmida-
BILE to one who has never tried it, but
which in practice give little trouble.
These are: First, keeping the cattle
clean; but this will be easy to do if a
we'll graded yard is provided and lit
tie care taken to keep it clean. 1t is
best to provide portable managers to
feed in, as they can be moved to
new place when desirable. [ would
not attempt to keep COWS in the sta
BILE during hot weather and when they
are eating succulent food; they would
be sure to get sOiled SO that it would
he disagreeable to milk them. The
he form of manger to feed in is six
feet wide and ten feet long. Use posts
at the corners Of two by four studding,
and make a floor two feet from the
ground, boiling on two by four stud
ding around the top, which should be
one foot from the floor Six dehOrned
cattle land [ would have no Others)
can eat from one of these hangers.
We find it profitable to give green food
to hogs and cOnfine them in the hog
house and a small feed lot. Many OBJ
iect to the labor of cutting feed and
taking it to the stock all summer, but
I have found it much less than [ an
ticipated, and by a little wise plan
ming it can be done in a short time.
If there is much stock to feed, the cut
ting should always be done with the
moving machine, and enough cut to
last three days, and with many kinds
of feed there will be no need of cutting
more than twice week, as little
whiting will not hurt the feed at all.
Perhaps the most serious difficulty is
the providing of green feed through
the early spring months, but it is not
very expensive to give extra grain
feed for five or six weeks in the spring.
or to save some of the best hay to
feed them, as no hay will be needed
through the fall and early winter. In
nv latitude we can begin to cut clO-
yer before the end of May, and a plot
of rye will furnish feed ordinarily by
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-08-23

If this rule is adopted, about one
manent pasture, and there is no other
grass equal to blue grass for his pnr-
pose, as it starts early and will bear
trampling and close grazing Better
than any other grass, and it is very nu>
tritiOus, and cattle will fatten on it
quicker than any other feed. This pas
ture may be heavily stocked early in
the season, and then, when the soiling
crops are ready, they can be fed on
this pasture or taken to the feed lots,
as is thought best. In drOuth, the
cattle can be fed on the ground and
will not waste anything. In three
years of drouth QS9395, inclusive) /
fed from August list to Thanksgiving
in this way, and do not think more
than 100 pounds of feed was wasted
in three years. 1 have now practiced
this partial soiling for six years and
am so we'll pleased with it that
would not have any divis on fences put
back if it would cost me nothing to do
it.
A low wagon or sled can be used to
draw the feed out to the cattle, and
when they are fed on the pasture che
feed day is all that Will he needed.
1t is best to always feel at a regular
hour, as the cattle will eat and then
go and Craze, while if the feeding is
deferred later they will wait or 1t anil
be restless. When 1 first began fCed
ing sorghum green to stock | SOWed it
broadcast and used a bushel or more
of seed to the acre, but experience has
shown that it is better to plant it in
rows and cultivate it and only use q
small amount of seed, as the cane is
much sweeter and Il greater weight can
be grown to the acre, and when we cut
it by hand. as we often do to feed a
few COWS, it is much easier to handle.
1t also makes much better hog feed
when grown thin ON the ground, and |
have found this crop especially prOfita
BILE for them. We want to SOW thick
and cure as hay for feeding to horses
and for the late winter feeding of cat
tie, but prefer the large, juicy canes
for the fall and first half of the Win
ter.
Another crop which is excellent for
feeding green during the fall is sweet
corn. and if one is near canning fac
tory or a city market it will pay to
grow it extensively, as the ears can be
marketed and a large amount of eX-
cellent feed furnished. 1t is best to
plant a succession Of plots, SO that
there will not be too much of it at
once. and I find in this latitude that
it may be planted on rich, well-prepar-
ed land as late as July and will ma
ture before frost, and the price of and
demand for roasting ears is usually
better in October than earlier, and if
it so happens that frost comes before
it is mature enough to sell, it does not
hurt it for feeding, and it can still be
made profitable.
On farms where the plan of pastur>
ing is followed it is rare to get
through a year that there is not time
when the pastures are short so that
the stock are not doing as we'll as they

On farms where the plan of pastur>

err will be prepared to feed his stock
under these conditions and so keep
them thriving, and when an acre will
give full feed for month to thirty
cattle, it certainly will pay to be pre-
pared to furnish this feed. Another
