HOE Notes.

Grass is. one of the very best things
to start d pig on the road to- health
and growth. II is his natural food,
aud no artificial food can fill its place
perfectly. 8t ,Fft ..s,yts,i
The ealt, ashes, charcoal and other
s.uffs given swine for one or another
purpose should not be put in the food.
These are things apart from the ra-
ton.
\ Put them where the pig can use his
own inclination, in taking them. He
will seldom take them at the wrong
time or in the wrong quantity. vi
/ Health, health. health is the need
Of the pig, and, the grower must Sc
cure it at any expense for food, hous-
ing, ranging, drink, bedding and gen.
eral care. --,C4 -se,.,,~
Remember that the best pigs come
from the mating of the vigorous SOW
with the matured and equally vigor-
Gus boar. The young sow is a vigor.
Gus feeder. and the pig takes feeding
quality from the, sow. The matured
boar has developed form, and the pig
follows the boar in form.-Farmers'

greatest Of All Cereals.

Corn is beyond all question the
greatest of all cereals. A given area
OF corn will yield more food for man
or beast, several times over, than any
other. One man, with his team and
tools has often made enough corn in
three months to furnish 200 men with
an abundance of bread for q whole
year. What other crop can be made
to do as much? More than two hum
dred bushels have been grown on an
acre, enough to supply bread for Is
men one year. As population en-
croaches upon the land, it may be-
come necessary to substitute corn foc
other grains to a large extcnt.-Farm

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.
Suceess Consists A. Much i'm Avoid
Ing Failure ~ In Achieve
memt.

It is just as necessary to know
what not to do and how not to Go,
as to know what and how to do. Sue
cess consists as much in avoiding fail
ure as in achieving. a man travelling
q rough road on a dark night will
get there" sooner and in better shape
if he avoids the stumps and hog holes,
even il he has to feel for them with q
stick. Thus many farmers start out
without inquir:ng about the road,
when, by reason of darkness or ina
bi]ity to see the way clearly, they be-
gin to stumble and bog, and finally
reach their destination bruised and
lame. if not permanently crippled. If
they had diligently inquired the way
of some traveller who had been lost
in the same road, he would have tried
some other route, or, at least have
avoided the pitfalls of which hewould
have been warned. To be success
full q farmer must know what he is
doing and where he is going. He
must learn from others. He must
learn from the unsuccessful as we'll
as the successful; must learn how not
to do ~ well az how to do. The
farmer who stays at home and under
takes to work out his own salvation
without the advice or consent Of his
fellows will fail. as surely IS the sun
will rise. Hence the necessity for con-
sultation. And this, like everything
else worth doing at all should be done
Systematically; and it can not be done
systematically without organization.
An organization of farmers that
meets once a year At some prominent
point may do much good. but they do
not reach those who need help most.

Captured After Eight Years.

On a summer evening in 1898 two ne
groes made a murderous assault upon
William Mourey, of st. Augustine, then
but a youth. The negroes were young
roughs, and had difficulty in picking a
quarrel with the young white man. FL
nally, they struck HIM, and when he at
tempted to defend himself one of the
party stabbed him in the side, infiicting
what threatened to be a mortal wound.
Joe Perry was then sheriff of st. Johns
county, after lapse of several months,
succeeded in causing the arrest OF John
Alba, one of Mourey's assailants. Alba
was tried, found guilty, and sentenced TO
seven years imprisonment.
Sheriff Perry, who has been ont of
Office for four years, was never satisfied
at not being able to secure the capture
and conviction of Edward Sanders, the
one who it is believed inflicted the
wound. On resuming the duties of sher-
i'll, the first of the year, Sheriff Perry
looked up the old case, and sent out To all
the sheritfs of the state asking their as
sistance. But few DAYS passed, when
he heard from Sheriff Higginbotham, OF
Nassau county, that a man answering the
description was living in Fernandina.
Correspondence disclosed the fact that
Sheriff HigginbOtham had the right man,
and, acting on Sheriff Perry's instruc-
tions, arrested him.
Sheriff Perry went to Fernandina this
week and brought the prisoner to St.
Augustine for trial. He was given a pre-
liminary hearing before County Judge
Cooper Tuesday and is held for the action
of the grand jury.

The Justices Manual.

From the Tallahasseean.
The paper-bound volumes Of the Man
ual of the Statutes of Florida, applicable
to matters which justices of the peace and
county judges have jurisdiction, prepared
by Judge Raney, are now in the hands of
the secretary of state, ready for sale at
81. 90 per volume. The bound volumes
will be delivered in about two weeks,
and the latter will then be distributed to
justices of the peace and county judges.
The volume contains, in addition to
the statutes referred to, such provisions
of the state constitution as are necessary
to the purpose of the work, and rules of
evidence and forms of procedure in both
civil and criminal cases. 1t has also an
ample index, and embraces the numer-
Gus changes which legislation subsequent
to the revised statutes has made in that
volume, rendering the use of the session
laws since 1891 necessary to an under
standing Of our statutes. The Manual
will, therefore, to the extent contemplate
ed by the act under which it was framed,
supply our statute law in one book.
Providential and other causes, over
which no one had any control, have de-
layed the book months beyond the ex-
pectation of those engaged in getting it
out. But it will be none the less service
able on that account.

representatives-as now seems GER
tain. The passage of the Burleigh
bill is more than a mere act of JUS
tice, and should be so considered
by the people of Florida; we now
will have yet another vote and adj
ditional influences toward securing
those objects of national importance
for which our representatives In
the past have so faithfully stood.
It is true, continues our contem-
porary, that in securing these we
help ourselves, but the whole south
and west need additional harbors,
while the east will profit by the
trade these will bring-all need the
additional protection our fleet will
receive from the southern harbors
that should be opened, and they
will furnish the best security for
the defense of the great canal in
time of need.
Therefore, national duty now
devolves upon the state of Florida
1t is our duty to send the best
man possible to fill the new place
of responsibility offered us in Wash
ington. He must be a strong as
well as a good man, one entirely in
sympathy with the policy hereto
fore adopted, and ready to fall into
line with the work so well begun.

Why Trusts Flourish.

According to Professor Hadley,
of Yale university, the reason trusts
flourish is because public senti-
ment is with them. In the course
of lecture at Princeton university
last week he said: 'Most people
object to trusts. Why? Largely
because they do not own them"
The inference is that if they
owned them they would not object
to them. Therefore, their objection
to them is not public sentiment.
If they did own them and took
firm stand against them, trusts
would be shorn of the features to
which the public objects. In fact,
the trust evil would disappear.
From the standpoint of Professor
Hadley it will not be possible to
destroy trusts until the great ma
jority of the people are willing not
only to talk against them, but also
to refuse to profit in any way by
them. There can be no effective
public sentiment against trusts as
long as so many in every commun-
ity are willing to profit by them.
The same is true in the case of
liquor legislation. Prohibition
laws cannot be enforced where
there is not strong belief that the
sale of liquor should be prohibited,
The law prohibiting railroads from
cutting rates and giving rebates is
largely ineffective because there is
feeling that the weaker roads
would go to the wall if there were
no escape from it.
The Savannah News calls atten-
tion to the fact that there is agrow-
ing belief now that the great indus
trial combinations are enabling
this country to undersell other
countries in the markets of the
world, and hence the lukewarm-
ne,s in enforcing antitrust laws.
If trusts could be controlled so that
they would be satisfied with legiti-
mate profits, the general feeling
would be in favor of encouraging
them. 1t is their greed that pro-
vokes hostility to them. The hope
is entertained that threatened op-
position will keep their greed with
in bounds, but at present this hope
hasn't much to rest upon.
