IMPORTANT FACTOR IN HOGS
An ImpOrtant Factor In Hos RalsinG
IL to Keep the Animals
GFowing.

1t is possible to keep the hog grow
ing and thrifty in July and August,
as well as in April and May, If the
conditions are made favorable. Hogs
may be grown successfully by soiling,
but this plan requires more attention
than many farmers want to give. So
the next best way is to provide .
pasture. Grass and clover are loosen
ing to the system, and are just suited
to pigs in dry, hot weather. This sue
culent food is also rich in the muscle
and bone forming materials, and on .
pasture the pigs get exercise which is
very necessary for their proper de-
velopment. But wether the pigs are
on pasture or not, they never will be
thrifty in summer unless plenty of
pnre, fresh water is given them. This
is of great Importance, yet I believe
it is a matter that is neglected by
very many farmers. OF course. STOP
is partial substitute, but will not en-
tirely answer the purpose of drinking
water. To get an idea Of about how
much they will drink, measure the
water out to them in . pail some dry.
hot day in August. You may be sur.
prised at the quantity they will con-
sumo.
Another thing in the case of hogs
in warm weather, and one which is
too often overlooked, is shade. In go
ing through the country how often
we see half dozen of more hogs con-
fined in a small lot entirely destitute
of shade. Again, it is common prac-
tice among some farmers to pen their
hogs up in q small yard adjoining the
hog house, where they are kept
throughout the summer in mud and
filth. The building answers very well
for protection from sun and storm,
but grove or wood lot would be
much better. You can smell some
hog pens farther than you can see
them, and to confine these animals
in such places at any time of the year
is very wrong, and especially in hot
weather. There il no cleaner animal
on the farm than the hog, and he will
keep the pen and yard in sanitary
condition if given chance to do So
The hog is q great economizer OF
food, and it surely will pay farmers
to study closely everything relating
to feeding pigs, improving their pens
and rations, and to look after theil
general dealth and comfort, for the
hog crop is an important one with
the average farmer, and it is these
little details that we must look after
carefully, if we expect to grow hogs

Weeds in the corn, weeds IN the Pota-

they all come from and just why they

l have lately been having costly
experience with . weed which we
call here in the east the wireweea.
l think it is q species OF the golden

remarkable resemblance to that plant.

but when spring came and I turned
the land over again there was the
wircweed az fresh as ever after the
first warm rain. Then the question
arose what to do next, and conclud-

long to wait, for some time before
the potatoes were out of the ground

Death Of DOlph Edwards.

Mrs. Anna P. Edwards, ofSanford, has
just received the sad news of the death of
her husband, Dolph Edwards, which oc-
CURED at Nome, Alaska, on November
llth, 1900. Some three years ago Mr..
Edwards left Sanford for the Klondike
country in company with Messrs. Chas.
Beck, Eugene Muller and Rufus Prince.
The latter went no further than Seattle,
but the others reached Dawson City.
Mr.. Edwards engaged in prospecting,
mining, and later in business in Dawson
City, then went to Nome to better his
fate. He died OF pneumonia in his 59th
year. It will be remembered that he
spent several months in Titusville inst
prior to the summer of 1890. He had
been both postmaster and publisher of a
newspaper in Sanford.

Protected Orange Trees.

The following interesting item is taken
from the Florida Farmer ard Fruit Grow
or:
Estimating from the number of tents
we know to have been manufactured and
sold in the state, the approximate num-
Der of trees under sheds and veneer
boxes or lodges, and protected by tri-
angles; also guessing at the number pro-
tected by open fires, We figure out the
following result: Number of orange trees
in the state protected by tents, sheds,
lodges and triangles in the recent snap,
$4,000. Probably AS many more were
protected by open fires; total, $4,000.
We may be short Of the facts on the open
fires; this part is pure guess work.

Electrician Falls Thirty Feet.

Special correspondence Of The Florida Star.
PALM BEACH, March Geo. NJ. Job
son, one Of the electricians in charge OF
the work on The Breakers, fell thirty feet
last Friday morning directly in front of
the Hotel Royal Poinciana, striking full
length on a picket fence.
Mr.. JObson is at present assistant su-
peTintendent for the construction depart
ment Of all the electrical work for both
hotels here. He climbed the pole to
make some necessary changes among the
wires that connect the two hotels, when
he was suddenly struck by the current
and thrown as above stated on the fence
below.
Fortunately he fell lengthwise and so
escaped broken back or neck. He also
escaped internal injuries but seven of the
fence pickets penetrated his person,
breaking one rib near the vertebrae, and
dislOcating the right shoulder. He is
resting very nicely under treatment of
DIR. Frank Fremont-Smith, the hotel
physician, and under the constant care
of two trained nurses.
Mr. JObson Is a close personal friend OF
your correspondent, and is well and
favOrably known on both sides of Lake

FLOWERS IN FINGER BOWLS.
ment to the After Dinner
Service.

Az a well-scrycd dinner yon now
sometimes find dainty flowers float
ing in your finger bowl. This manner
OF decorating the bowl started in
Japan, says the Detroit Free Press.
The japanese have q faculty for
designing novelties that are beautiful.
They are not satisfied with simply
placing flowers in finger bowls, but
have cunningly prepared bits of wood
which when placed in water expand
into oddly formed and queerly eolored
flowers.
When the bowls are before the
guests the bits Of wood are put in
them and the diners are entertained
by seeing them expand into buds and
blossoms. The chrysanthemum, the
japanese national flower, Is the favor
ite.
Bits of lemon verbena and rose
geranium leaves, which. when pressed
between the fingers, are so sweet, are
peculiarly appropriate for the finger
bowl. Two or three violets, floating
in the bowl, are not only pretty, but
give forth delicate and delicious per-
fume.
Nearly everyone likes the odor OF
lemons, and they remove stains from
dainty fingers, so il IS not strange that
thin slices Of the fruit should so often
be used in finger bowls.
