DaIryIng In Florida.

Florida Agriculturist: A cores
pondent Of Farm and Home, writing
from Pasco county florida, tells son e
thing Of whatsis being done in this
State in the dairy business. What
one has done another may do.
Cattle raising is receiving more at
tention than formally in all parts of
Florida but chiefly in the direction OF
beef prod Our State has long
been noted for the ease with which
cattle could be produced and the
toughness Of the beef was proverbial
but our State experiment station dem
onstrated that by proper feeding the
best of beef can be made here at about
one-half what il costs in the corn belt
OF the West. The great packing com
panies have been quick to take ad-
vantage OF the fact and are buying and
stocking immense ranges in variou
parts Of the State, on which they will
raise and fatten beef
Dai-ying is one degree higher agri-
culture than stock raising and in mid
die Florida, between the Suwannee and
Chattahoochee rivers, much attention
is being given to this branch. One
Leon county man sends his butter to
Tampa at the rate of about 400 lbs
month, and the Jumpierun dairy farm
in Jefferson county finds ready sale
for nearly 5000 lbs year at 30 to SOC
rer Id.

GRAND JURY
PRESENTMENT
BLOW TO ILLEGAL
LIQUOR TRAFFIC
ENERGETIC WORK OF
CLEARING THE DOCKET

After a busy session OF ten DAYS the
fall term Of the Circuit Court ends to-
day with the imposition Of sentence
upon those convicted.
In brisk manner the work Of the
court has proceeded and Judge Palmer
and States Attorney Phillips have
worked energetically to clear the dock
ct as far as possible.
Nearly fifty criminal cases were
handled, a majority of them being for
the illegal sale of liquor. And such
was the yigor Of the prosecution that
but one defendant escaped.
The blind tiger traffic has certainly
received a severe blow at this term Of
court, and the fact that justice is
shown to be on the trail of such illegal
ity will likely prove a deterrent to
those who have any desire to defy the
law.
Indictments for murder were found
against Staten johnson and Anderson
Jones, who are charged with killing
Scott on boat near Punta Gorda some
time ago.
Charles Daniels, the negro, who was
indicted for the murder of another ne
gro in Arcadia, had his case continued
until the next term of court
Cecilia Simmons, the negro woman
OF Punta Gorda who killed child,
plead guilty to manslaughter.
No other criminal cases Of impor-
lance occupied the attention of the
court.
Among the civil cases was that of
j. B. Thomas VS.. Peace River Phos-
plate Co., suit for $4,000 damages,
verdict being given for the defendant.
The suit of the First National Bank
VS.. Jas Cocker, resulted in a verdict for
the plaintiff in sum Of $l75.
L. 7. Smith Hardware Cows r. J.

since the beginning of the season. up TO
Tuesday night was $1,000 boxes, or
about 200 carloads.
The rush is on now in shipping, and
night work is carried on in some of
the packing houses.
The fruit is rapidly coloring and be-
coming sweet, and the golden Florida
orange so highly priced, will soon be a
delicious fact.
The New York Packer says; Florida
oranges and grapefruit are now arriy-
ing quite literally. An improvement
in the color and general condition of
the fruit is quite noticeable; $3.50 to
1886 is easily realized on choice fruit.
The season is not yet well under way.
but receipts are are now averaging
about LOO to 1000 boxes per day.
This is at out 500 boxes less per day
than at this time last year. A good
portion of the receipts are used up on
shipping demand; local demand is
also quite active. The principal bulk
OF the receipts are coming by steamers
via Clyde and Savannah lsnes.
The first of the 1905 California navel
orange crop were offered at auction
early this week. Values ranged from
~ 80 to 5.O5 per box. The grade offered
was very small, but the prices obtained
on the best lots are considered quite
high. A few lots of very fancy Valen-
cia lates sold up to $685. per box. Some
OIL grades sold as low as 50. New Med
lteranean sweets in small lots sold
from Sl.SO to 800 per box. There is
good demand from the store for Flori-
da and California oranges when fancy.
Common stock is dragging somewhat
at inside figures. Florida grape fruit
is coming quite freely now and the re-
ceipts are generally nice fruit. At the
present time the market is a little off
" 90 to BOO are the ruling prices for
good fruit.

INVESTIGATING
pACTS IN COOPER
CASE AND TRIAL
UGH IATERE ST IN
FATE OF DEFENDANT

Contrary to rumor and public expec-
fancy the attention of the grand jury
was not called to the Cooper case, and
the report, which somehow gained
ground that this body would investi-
gate the new evidence which had been
placed before the pard oning board, was
without foundation.
The public is still wondering at the
outcome Of the case and Cooper's ulti-
mate fate.
Whether he will finally be hanged or
il the sentence will be committed. to
life imprisonment. followed later by a
full pardon.
In the opinion of many persons, how
ever, no halfway clemency should be
given, that Cooper should be given
freedom or that the sentence passed
Sshould be carried out.
As to the final disposition of the
matter no sign is offered by the par
dol 7 board.
Tn afldavits submitted by Col. j.
w. Brady, attorney for Cooper, and
which impressed the pardoning board
in a manner to cause the second death
warrant to be revoked, have placed the
case In a position where a careful in
spectiou OF evidence will undoubtedly
be made by that body before final ac-
tion is taken.
Mr.. Brady declares his belief in the
innocence of his client and is sanguine
that the aitidavits he has secured and
placed before the board OF pardons will
be instrumental in saving Cooper from
the gallows.
Speaking Of THE matter he said that
these aiiidavits conclusively proved
the innocence Of Cooper, and despite
the allegations Of hOss4Sha-hAd. said
Oh s phase of the case was shrouded in
mystery, the aifidavits were on file in
the Office of the governor, where they
could be read or copied by any one in
ierested in the matter, no secrecy be-
ing maintained.
Mr.. Brady also declared that the
affidavits we're made by persons Of re-
pute.
From another source it is learned
that Gov. Broward, too, is investi-
eating the case, and since revoking
the death warrant. has employed a
person in whom he reposes confidence,
end whose impartial report of the
case will form the basis for future
action.
In light Of the Governors activity in
matters Of the sort and his endeavor
TO CLEAN the truth, as shown 10y his
recent visit to condemned murderer,
it is quite probable that whatever the
decision II will be in accordance with
Facts unearthed, and that justice will
Me so rendered.

FROM
THE WASTE.
TURPENTINE FROM
SAWDUST AND SLABS
SUCCESSFUL DlSTILLIAG
PLANT AT LIVE OAK

ocala Banners S. B. Russ, the tall
ented representative Of the Times
Union, was in Ocala Wednesday and
was registered at the Ocala House
Mr. Russ was just from Live Oak
where he inspected the new inyen-
ton to extract turpentine from pine
waste, and is fully persuaded that IL
will work a revolution in the turnen-
tine industry,
Mr.. Russ says:
The plants hitherto designed for
the extraction OF turpentine from
pine waste have all proven upsatis-
factory simply because OF the method
employed. Direct heat has in some
cases been put under the the retorts.
and in Others superb eated steam has
been employed. But in the two plants
that have recently been sold and in
stalled at Live Oak by the Pure White
Turpentine company tire steam il
turned on to the waste, be It sawdust
or slabs straight from the boiler. and
the result Of the simple but effective
process is seen in five minutes when
solid stream of water white turpentine.
as thick as mans finger and as clear
as crystal, pours from the copper still
in which the second distillations has
been accomplished.
The entire process, from filling The
retorts to dra wing of the turpen tine.
may be accomplished in from 40 TO 90
minutes, and these wonder-workers
have so systematized things that two
tons OF sawdust can In that short time
be made to give up from 8 to Is GAL
Ions OF water-white turpentine.
The only residuum left By this
process is heavy wood oil, somewhat
resembling yaselina, and worth in tho
market about ten cents a gallon.
Some idea of the profit that NAV he
derived from the operation of one of
these up-to-date plants may be inferred
from the following statement 9th h.

Just below Virgo is the group known as
Corvus, the Crow, while below this there
stretches out the longest constellation of
the entire sky. This is Hydra the Water
Snake, which extends all the way from
Cancer to Scorpio. There is but a short
time of the year when the whole OF this
very long figure is above the ground in the
early evening. The month of May Is the
best time for observing it. The star X,
which is on the head of the snake, is a re-
markable triple star, while near the stars
X and V, which are at the curve of the
neck, there will be found a large number of
beautiful doubles. This whole constellation
was frequently taken by the Egyptians to
represent the river Nile.
