who had faith in the future, had gen.
orally banked the trunks of their trees
from IL to "A incres, having previous
ly budded the new tree near the root,
thus preserving sound trunk of bud
ded wood Of from to 20 inches from
which to grow tree. In this the
trees are relatively two years in ad-
vance of their condition four years
ago, and if no untOward freeze again
prevents the grower may expect a
considerable crop of budded fruit
within two years.
Citrus nursery stock was pretty
generally banked and the buds par
TALLY preserved instead of being en-
tirely killed, as in the former freeze.
Nurserymen had also saved considera-
BILE quantities Of bud wood and are
not dependent on California for
start on their Seeding stocks.
AdviceS are already coming from our
new possessions that the demand for
improved citrus stock will be large in
territory where frost never comes.
A few years without serious freezes
will make the remaining orange trees
very attractive to the new conner who
has not suffered the experiences of
the past, and the acreage will again
increase with the hope of the long i'm
munity of IS years from destructive
freezes will again come, and the
strong probability that one or two
crops will pay the cost of the grove.
While the orange, like the cotton
grower, will no longer be wise in
rislxing all on one crop, there is in
these suggestions a little silver lining
to a very dark cloud, which we hope
will continue the effort to bring the
present banked groves to maturity
again by fertilizing principally with
leguminous crops, using the crop
above ground in animal farming
which is the great need of Florida in
bringing up the soil to profitable pro-
duction.
While depressed, bear in mind that
other parts Of the country have their
bad years, and many of them, and
change would not possibly better your
condition.

The Bright Side.

Is there any bright side to the Flor
ida orange industry? If there can be
any grains of consolation or comfort
out Of the several catastrophes let us
CLEAN them.
One fear has been abolished-the
fear Of an over-production of the Flor
ida orange, that was such a nightmare
five years ago. There will be no fear
again of too many Florida oranges.
In contemplating the possibility of
a killing freeze before the restored
groves had reached sufficient age to
resist it, the 40 per cent of growers

To Get EGGS.

When the eggs are intended for the
market, the male bird must be- ex-
Guided from the hen yard. When this
is done the eggs will keep fresh long
err, and in fact will never ad1le, but
merely dry away. The virgin pullet
or hen will lay more eggs than the
mated one. Stimulating food fills the
egg basket. 1t may consist Of wheat
bran two parts, ground oats ONE and
one-half parts, ground cornmeal an
eighth part; season with salt and one
half teaspoonfu1 of ground black or
cayenne pepper to the pint of food. For
Matching eggs the best diet is wheat,
oats, ground bone, clover and blue
grass, and plenty of fresh water for
any and all purposes.-Mrs. r. A.
Judy.

It is generally believed by the En-
glish people that the road to longev-
ity lies through the stomach. This
causes fantastic notions in regard to
diet. Almost every physician of note
make himself responsible for some
dietetic formula to accomplish the
object in view. Almost all have taken
a decided stand against the native
British oyster. This opposition is en-
couraged by recent official investiga-
tions in relation to the conditions
under which that bivalve is grown. on
the English coast. In Brighton it is
estimated that one-third of all the
deaths that occur in the town are
caused by eating oysters that are bed
ded on it's shores. This is not sur
prising, as, according to the official
three of the local sewers dis
charge their contents over the oyster
beds. This is the case in several
other coastwise towns. So widespread
is the alarm in England in regard to
oysters that at a recent banquet
given at the Mansion House, London,
not one of those biva1ves ON the shell
was eaten. Oysters alone are not
under condemnation. Bread is avoid
ed by many; others reject meat, or
vegetables, or milk, or butter.

Inc cross-eXamination was a searching
one and the doctor acquitted himself in
a very professional manner. The wit

William Pinkston, proprietor of the Ar

DISCUSSES QUAY'S CASE
Believes He Will Not be Seated
Nor Will Roberts of

Congressman Campbell returned today
from Washington, stating that he had Sc
cured leave of absence and would remain
here for about a week, to give attention to
a matter of business. 1T was," he said,
the intention of congress to adjourn for
the holidays after the vote on the cur
rency bill. Bishop of Michigan agreed
to pair with me on the measure or to Sc
cure me a pair among the republicans"
Discussing the Quay case, Mr.. Campbell
said, that it looked very much as though
the a%ppointee of he governor of Penn
sylvania would not be given a seat in the
senate. He bases this conclusion. upon
the general talk around Washington, the
opinions of the newspaper men II the
fact that no vacancies have been left on
the committees for Quay. Should the
Pennsylvania be denied a seat it will
settle the matter of appointments from
California, Utah and Delaware, but will
IN no way affect the chances of the jun
Tor senator from Montana.
AS to the case of polygamist Roberts of
Utah, Mr.. Campbell said thai it was very
apparent that he would be knocked out in
conformity with the wishes of the people
who are asking for it. There seems,' he
said, ito be a disposition to fire him at
any rate"

Il first knew General Lawton when he

quarternlaster sergeant at Fort Robin

there before going to Fort Sill. In my
dealings With him 7 found him to be a
perfect gentleman n an excellent SOL
der.
Everybody knows him to have been
the raves sort of an officer-too brave
in fact. and that was probably why he
was killed. He was a tall man-about
6 feet 2 inches. He always wore a white
helmet and Khakie Uniform in Manila,
and you could see him for a mile.
when he reached Manila, in March
of last year / think. he came out to look
over the Montana regiment. We We're
