A HEALTH RESORT.

The health Of Gainesville will conf
pare favorably with any city in the
South. whether il be in Florida or
other States that lay claim 70 being
health resorts. And there are several
very good reasons why this is true,
In the first place, the city Is located
near the center Of Alsehus, one OF the
few counties Of the State that are in
the range OF the highest elevation
through the central portion. The rain
fan is less than in other portions and
the drainage is as good as can be found
anywhere.
Secondly, we have drinking water
that Is never tainted with malaria IN
the least. II is not "iust as good" as
anv in Florida-it is the best Being
an absolutely pure spring water, there
il no chance for it to become tainted
IN any way. This is the most inn
portant factor in the health Of our
city. as IL can be drank without caus-
ing any injurious effects.
The idea which some people have
that the heat is unbearable in mid
summer is erroneous, because those
who make such statements don't know
what they are talking about. 1t is q
fact that the summers are long, but
people who are tired Of living in the
North, where they have nine months OF
winter, and the other three months oil
the year very late in the fall, and
would like TO reverse the order OF
things and have a little pleasant sum.

this mundane sphere, are invited tC

BEEF AND BUTTER.

A gentleman OF this city who has
been in the cattle business for some
time, is a strong supporter Of the
shovthorns IN preference to the small
er breeds, His judgment would seem
10 be good as the best authority that
can be found leads one to believe that
It is manifestly bad economy TO raise
cattle 10 produce milk and butter
alone, when breeds are at hand which
are good for these purposes besides
being valuable for beef The Jerseys,
though good mixers, are practically
valueless for other purposes. The
cows are puny little things, incapable
OF producing good calves, and when
all IL summed up, they are not as good,
certainly no better than the Short
horns as producers Of milk observa-
ton has shown that those farmers who
have stuck 10 Shorthorn blood and
made both beef and butter, have been
more prosperous than their rivals who
ignored beef and looked for dairy
products alone While dairying ne a
speciality is we'll enough in lie way,
those who have studied all sides OF the
question declare that IL is unWise TO
try to force IL upon people who do not
want to milk COWS and could not get
the labor II they did
As beef cattle, the smaller breeds
are little better than iarces, In
stances are given Of steers, which
cost to produce not less than sss at
three.year-old, were sold at less than
500 per head, Steers Of Shorthorn

be derived from This is that Shouhorn
and other standard beef breeds should
be used as sires 60 give the best re-
suits for both beef and milk produc.

use OF dairy sires, especially OF Jersey

More Ducks About Topeka Than fOI
Many Years Past

More Ducks About Topeka Than for
Many Years Past
For the first time in many years the
gunners of Topeka and its vicinity have
an opportunity to satisfy their pre-
objections for the sport of duck-shOot-
ing. The mind of the oldest inhabitant
does not go back TO the time when wild
ducks were so plentiful IN this vicin-
ity as they are now.
From long before old Sol rises until
after the sun has been down. the
steady far cry of the guns over river
and ponds reminds one that the season
for good shooting is now at its height.
Before it is light enough to see one
who is fond of the sport is tantalized
by the distant booming of a shot gun
on the night air and his expectancy
aroused. He eagerly awaits the break
of day only to learn that the bank
of the river is lined with kindred
spirits who, too have been waiting
only for it to become light enough to
see to shoot. With the coming of day
light or early morning may be seen
the quarry which has brought the en-
thusiast from his warm bed at such an
unearthly hour.
1t is the blue wing teal and its rela-
tiyes who are enroute for their feed
ing grounds ia the south and 1t so
happens that at present this parucu-
lar locality of the kaW valley offers
the ideal feeding ground to be found
