What Thomasvifle Paper Has to Say
of IL

Following is from the Thomasvine
/ Times-Enterprise Of Thursday:
Col. c. F. Goodyear Of Brunswick
held the close attention of several
score of Thomssyille's citizens for
an hour at the ourt house yesterday
morning.
He spoke on the developments OF
trade with Cuba, Porto Rico and South
America. 1t has been said that sta
tistics are dry, but the force and i'm
port Of some presented by Col. Good
year made them most interesting to
his audience. He showed that the
trade Of the West indies with this
country was greater than that OF Japan
and China combined. Since the Pan
anna Canal is a certainty this trade is
sure to increase many times, The
trade belongs by rights to the south
and to Georgia.
Our ports are many hundreds of
miles nearer to the Wet Indies and
South America than are New Orleans
or New York. Again Brunswick and
Savannah are on the extreme vest
ward curve OF the continent and have
an advantage in distributing imports
70 interior cities OF the United States
The trade that by rights should be
sent through our Georgia ports now
goes through New York and other
northern cities. southern goods are
sent there for export 10 remedy
this condition, and 10 take advantage
in future Of the wonderful opportuni-
ties presented should be the task OF
Georgians.
The above are some Of the points
made by the psealer in his eloquent
address The statistics bearing out
these points will be printed in pamph.
let form and number OF copies win
be sent TO Thomasyiile for distribution
There are some vabiug-p though
in the address and no doubt the work
done will bear good fruit

PERlLs OF THE ORCHID HUNTER
Men Who Take Their Lives in Their
Hands in Search of Flowers.

1dIiuS III OGdISfl VI FiSWSiOs
Tit-Bits.-TaIk about risks of an ex-
plorer's life, said an enthusiastic or
chid-collector to the writer; why,
when compared with those which
many an orchid-hunter faces as a mat
ter of course every day for months to-
gether, they are no more to be seri-
ously considered than crossing Picca-
dilly. If the death roll of these in
trepid men coUld be published it would
be simply appalling. It is said that
1000 different species Of orchids have
been introduced to civilization since
the time of Linnaeus, and [ do not
think it would be an exaggeratlon to
say that against each Of these, on an
average. a human life could be placed.
Orchids have an unfortunate trick OF
growing, not only in the most inaccess-
ible, but in the most unhealthy and
dangerous places-if they hadn't
they would scarcely be as coveted and
costly as they are. They flourish in
the deadly swamps of Mexico, in the
heart Of Brazilian forests, in the tor
rid, malarial districts Of the East and
West Indies, and so on-Usually where
fever and pestilence, fierce animals,
and f1ercer tribes are their nearest
neighbors. Merely to approach their
haunts is to carry your life in your
hands; to spend weeks among them,
as the hunters must do, is to court
death or to injure the health beyond
recovery.
To illustrate the dangers these men
run I may tell you that, of eight hunt
ers who went to Mexico not long ago
in quest of new species, seven lost
their lives within year, and the sur
vivor came away with his health utter
ly ruined. OF the seven who never
came back, one fell into the hands of
g native tribe and was burned to
death. And everywhere the same
story is told-from Panama to Sierre
Leone. M Hamelin, who was pretty
we'll ransacked Madagascar in search
Of specimens, tells one story of his
adventures which would be amusing
| if it were not for the tragedy lurking
behind it ALL One of his companions,
a near relative of the native king, was
bounced upon and killed by wild ami

TWO COWS PER ACRE.
Denmark and Jersey Farmers Care
and Economy Give Results.

Zone gets some remarkable lessons
across the water in making the most
Of things" sage Prof. G. E. Day in
the Toronto Sun. ''In Denmark moth
ing is wasted. In order to prevent
unnecessary tramping Of the pasture,
COWS are tethered in the fields while
feeding. I even saw sheep confined
there in the same way. After seeing
how careful Danish farmers are of
every little thing, one can begin TO Urn
derstand how it is that a country with
an area less than two-thirds that of
Nova Scotia is able to export $780,
100000 worth of butter and bacon to
Great Britain in a year.
Gwen greater care and economy are
shown in Jersey. In thas island the
famous Jersey cattle are the only
kind of horned animals kept. You
will there see the COWS tethered in
line like a regiment of soldiers at one
side of a field and being gradually
moved over as the grass is eaten off.

The LONDON cARRY.

Vance Thompson in Outing-There
are in London 2,711 cab proprietors,
and of these 1924 own fewer than five
vehicles. AS you see, it is a poor
mans industry.
The average price for hiring a cab
is twelve and threepence a day. IN
addition the cabman has to pay the
yard fees. He gets two horses day
and is usually fourteen hours on the
box. His license costs him five shil-
lings a year. The tax Of two pounds
and the fifteen shilling wheel duty are
paid by the owner Taxing it day in
and day out, the cabby makes about
five shillings a day. In the season
he may take in more money, burt as
the hire is raised on him it comes to
the same thing. He is not content
and there is no reason why he should
be-he does not grumble unduly.
Every day in London 100000 people
ride in cabs. Of course there is fric-
ton and there is deal of nosy quar-
relling over fares, but SO far as my ex
perience goes the cabby is usually
right in his estimate of the distance
he has travelled and the money that
is due him.
The cab horses are good lot.
They are worked six hours day on
an average About three years in a
hanson, however, will do UP the best
Of them Then they drift to the four
wheelers.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1904-11-21

I was told there that one acre of pas
ture will carry two COWS through the
season. Of course, the COWS are
small and pasture, owing to the abund-
ance Of moisture, luxuriant, but the
fact stated shows how careful Jersey
farmers are to avoid waste. When
we were there (about June I'D the
cows were going over the pasture for
tn second time, and the grass was up
to ones knees. In Jersey two crops
are taken from the fields every year.
''In that island, as have said, moth
ing but Jerseys are kept-all pure
bred. Nothing else is allowed to
come in. The registrations there are
not based on breeding. A COW must
come up to certain standard in milk
production in order to secure registra-
ton. Sometimes a COW which fails to
qualify for registration herself will
produce calf that does come up to
the requirements, and the calf is then
registered.
"In Denmark-at least in the two
islands which form the best part of
the kingdom-the Red Danish COW
is the principal breed. These ami
mails are a brownish red with black
points. They are larger than the
Ayrshire, not SO heavy as the Holstein,
and are shorter in the legs than the
latter. They are good dairy cattle.
At the agricultural school which Wis
tied, where thirty COWS are kept, they
have a record of an average yield of
$500 pounds of milk and $40 pounds of
butter per cow
