TO HAVE A PHOSPHATE ROAD.

Tampa Times: 1t is generally under
stood that the phosphate railroad matter
is taking definite shape. 1t was men
toned in the Times several days ago that
there was a movement on foot to this
end. The plan as outlined is that Hook
ers Point is to be purchased and the
terminals established there. The idea
seems to be for all the phosphate inter
ests in the lower part of the state to
come together and form a company for
the construction of railroad system
covering the phosphate fields and to make
Tampa their shipping point thus creating
another port and bringing about compe-
tition with the Plant System both as to
railroad rates and port charges. The
company is to erect modern electric ele-
vators and general shipping facilities for
handling its business. In addition to this
II will develop a new section of country,
which would prove very beneficial to the
trade of this city. In this connection it
is understood that the company will ask
the business and property interests for
some assistance in securing terminals, to
show that the new project is fully APP
preciated.

Making Poultry Pay.

Every once in while we see where
some poultryman has made a fortune on
paper, and this has a tendency to entice
others into the same business who are
out of job or who feel that they would
like to get rich quickly and that, too.
without having had any experience what
ever in the poultry business, says the
Homestead. We rather like the idea of
looking upon things as successful. We
would rather see all succeed than to hear
of any meeting with failure. Notwith
standing our own wishes in the matter,
we are compelled to note the failures of
some people. 1t will not do to pay too
close attention to the many large stories
we hear of fortunes being made out OF
the poultry business. A few people have
made considerable money in fancy poul-
try and some have made as much or
more in growing market poultry. There
are a number of large poultry farms
where their owners are making a good
deal of money, but generally those who
have attempted the business with the
dea of making a fortune in it have
made failures. While one man has been
making plenty Of money from poultry
others have been losing thousands in the
same business. The occasion has been
in trying to run large business on small
capital or little or no experience. The
profit from a small flock properly handled
is sure thing and we know OF no bet
ter place to do this than on the farm.
The progressive poultryman is one who
will keep only what fowls he can make
pay. He will keep that kind that he can
breed at a profit. He will keep eggs for

"A Bradford county jury has declared
that John Baxter was the murderer of
Policeman Raley, but saved him from
hanging by a recommendation to the
mercy of the court. John Baxter, young
colored man, on last Thanksgiving day
led a crowd of drunken negroes through
the streets of La Villa. They were so
boisterous that Policeman Raley decided
to place a negro named Jerry" under
arrest, as he was very bosterous. He was
taking this negro to Virgil fuckers store

Baxter drew his revolver and killed the
policeman. Chandler Brooks, a respecta-

Green cut bone is an article of diet for
hens and chicks that is not fully under
stood by many of our readers, says the
Rural Home. We have dwelt upon this
matter several times and yet we occa-
sionally have inquiries how 1t is obtained,
how fed end the benefits in feeding it. We
would not have our readers confound
green cut bone and bone meal These two
articles are separate kinds Of food and
one cannot fill the place of the other.
Green cut bone is not placed on the
market neither can il be shipped. with
safety at all seasons of the year. The
only safe way it can be furnished is 10
obtain green bone cutter, procure bones
from the meat market or save them and
run them through the bone cutter. A
bone cutter is not a grinder, as many sup
pose. but it is a cutter that shaves off
small particles of bone and the meat adj
herring to them, which are easily eaten
and asslmilated by fowls. Poutrymen
have learned the value in green cut bone
Just as the dairyman has found what feed
is best for the production of milk and but
ter in his herd. He has learned that his
hens require a balanced ration just as
much as any other animal that is to do
its best.
The difference between green cut bone
and bone meal Is that the former con-
tains all the juices and some edhering
pieces OF meat which render 1t more SOL
uble and at the same time more available
for food. 1t contains a larger proportion
of nitrogen because of the blood and bits
of meat that adhere to them The ingre-
dients obtained from green cut bone are
lime. phosphoric acid and nitrogen. The
nitrogen is what enters largely into the
Transforming the white of the egg, and is
the most difficult to OBTAIN in suitable
foods. Lime is the next most valuable
constituent and it enters largely in the
formation of the shell of the egg. Bone
meal is a product obtained by finely
grinding old, dry bones and is not rich
in nitrogen because of the absence of
meat, blood and natural juices.
At first bone was pounded up so as to
be available for fowls. To prepare a lot
of bone was a slow and laborious Job.
Now we have number of good bone cut
ters which make the work easy and does
much better work toward reducing the
bone 10 a necessary size for assimilation.

Don't Cross the Breeds.

1t seems that line upon line is needed
on this subject. Among the latest illus
trations of the folly of mixing breeds is
given by a correspondent of the Rural

succuIent Crops for Hogs.

The hog raiser who expects to get the
most out of his business, says A. ]. Legg
in Swine Advocate. must plan ahead for
his winter feed. The prevailing impress
sion is that corn is almost the only avail
able feed for hogs, especially in the win
ter. But the hog enjoys a variety of
food as well as other animals and he will
not do wen unless he gets it q mean will
not do the best that might be reasonably
expected of him).
A few years ago L had a hog penned up,
in a small lot and fed him on corn as is
the custom here. l noticed the wind
one day blew a dry grape leaf into his
pen. He at once ate it greedily. This
set me to thinking and 1 decided that the
hog confined upon a single diet would
likely enjoy change of diet as well as
a man. / went to the barn and got a
bunch of corn blades and the hogs de-
voured them greedily Since that time /
have arranged to have a variety Of feeds
for my hogs.
/ plant artichokes for the late winter
feed. They are a nourishng and succu-
lent food for hogs, more so than any of
the other root and tuber crops, according
to the government analysis reported in
Bulletin No %, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The artichokes do
not reach their best until about Decem
Der, as they do their growing late in the
season. In order to have some good feed

grass fails until time to feed artichokes
] grow pumpkins and turnips. The Pump
kins are fed from the time they get ripe
as long as they will last. then come the
turnips. I pull the large ones and store
them away for cattle or other animals,
and If convenient the hogs may be turned
in to harvest the smaller ones. If not,
they are pulled as needed and fed to the
hogs They will not seriously damage
when left In the patch until early win
ter Then come the artichokes. The
hogs may be turned into the field and
allowed to root up the artichokes as they
need them. Hogs treated in this way
can be wintered well with very little
grain and they will keep in much better
health than if wintered upon grain alone.
Whenever the habits and requirements of
the hog receive as careful attention as
other farm animals. by the average far
mer, they will prove much more profita-
BILE, and there will be less complaint Of
his being so liable to disease.

Another party claims the land In Mitchell

The Best Grass for Pasture in South
ern Florida.

"P," Savannah. Ga, writes: please
advise me the best grass to sow for pas
lures in Southern Florida? The soil is
light sandy and make good orange land.
The native soil has a good growth of
bunch grass that the cattle roaming
through the woods eat, and the people
burn this off every winter they say to
make new and tender grass grow for cat
tie. In preparing a pasture, after clear
ing all stumps and blowing out the roots
is it best to sow grass seed at once or
sow velvet beans one year and then
grass seed.
How would alfalfa do? After June

While not familiar with the nature of
the soil in Southern Florida we must be-
lieve that Bermuda grass would be the
grass for such soil. The next best grass
in our opinion would be johnson grass. If
either of these will not grow on the

succeed.
Yes! AS you suggest 1t would be we'll

MANY POLICEMEN KILLED.

Thomasville Times Enterprise: We have
been struck with the number of police
men who have recently been killed in
the cities of Savannah. Columbus and
Atlanta by loaing negroes. These officers
were all killed in the discharge of their
duty, trying to protect life and property
and frequently in their efforts to pro-
tect law abiding negroes and wives
against the lawless element of their own
race. The latest is the killing Of a police
man in Columbus. Perhaps the worst
feature about these cases is the fact,
that. with rare exceptions, negroes re-
fuse to lend any assistance whatever in
the capture of these criminals. On the
contrary, as a rule. they will shield them
seem to think that the race is being per-
secuted instead of being prosecuted
There are many good, law abiding color
ed people in Georgia, and they should
join in the effort being made by the law,
and those who administer 1t, to stamp
out the crimes being committed by their
race. No race or people can ever be pros
porous or respectable, who habitually vio-
late the law. The colored people should
be equally interested with the whites in
the preservation of law, and order; and
many of them are, but, a the same time,
many of them are not. Let the best col
ored element draw the line against the
loafers. vagabonds and law breakers of
their race, and preserve their own re-
spectability.
