nothing outside of the individual him
self that determines whether he be of
the ariStOcracy or of the peasantry,
but what he is in himself. 1t is not
the character of my clothes or the
amount of my worldly possessions, but
the character of my character that de-
trmnes whether L be an artistOcrat or
not. What else could it be?
So, l repeat that the man of the so
called walks of humble life has no
right to look upon them as such, for
they are 10 more so than the sO-called

What The Florida Experiment
Station is Doing for Stock
Growers.
BY DIR. G.. f. Dawson.

We find the following in the Stock
man.
The first agricultural experiment
station was established in 1S43 by Mr..
John Laws on his estate at Harpen-
den, England about 40 miles north of
London. Mr.. Laws, afterwards known
as Sir John Laws, had associated with
him an eminent scholar, Prof Joseph
III. Gilbert. The special object of this
assOcia ton was to determine the pc
cuhiarities and capabilities of the soils
at ROthenshed. the name applied to
that part of his estate devoted to the
experiments and the effect upon these
soils of different manIIreS and fertili-
zers. The most important experiments
were those made to test the capacity
of these soils for bearing the same
crops year after year. From 1852,
down to the present, the policy upon a
considerable portion of the estate has
been to raise the same crops without
interruption, some without fertilizers.
some treated with manure, and some
treated with commercial fertilizers.
The popularity of the experimental
tion has been that each parcel of land
has been treated in precisely the same
way, year after year, and has borne
the same kinds of crops every year for
and kindred experiments as published
from year to year have been received
with great interest by English farm
ers. Through their experiments, Laws
and Gilbert have shown that lands I'M
der proper treatment may bear the
same crops for at least 40 years and
steadily increase in fertility.
In 1851, the first Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station was established
Germany. at Moeckern, small vii
lage near the city of Leipzig, a little
later this station received government
aid. and became a permanent branch
of Leipzig. The seed thus sown
brought forth abundant fruit, and
there are now more than 100 stations
in Europe receiving government aid
The first agricultural experiment
station in the United States was estab
lished at MiddlebOrn. Connecticut, in
1873. In 1880 the United States had
four stations in operation, and in 1887
there were seventeen In 1887 the Con
gress of the United States made an
appropriation of $4,000 pr annum for
each of the states that had establish
ed agricultural experiment stations.
The same appropriation was available
for other states that might also found
a agricultural experiment stations. under
the encouraging influence of this law,
every state and territory now has its
experiment station. We have today
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-08-29

fifty-one stations engaged in investi-
eating agricultural problems in their
various locations. In some states.
where the physical features of climate
and soil are diverse, substations have
been founded. The agricultural ex-
pertinent stations are almost invaria-
bly, connected with the state agricul-
tural college or university, and, in the
main, draw their crops of investiga-
tors from the faculties of the college
The organization list of agricultural
colleges and experiment Stations pub
lished by the Federal Department of
Agriculture indexes over 5000 names
of persons who are engaged in agri-
cultural instruction and investigation
in these colleges and experiment sta
tions.
The work of these stations is as di-
versified as is our climate The ten
dency in all is to specialization, some
stations are endeavOring to show how
worn out lands can best be restored,
some are making a speciality of determ-
lining the value of commercial fertili-
ZeTs, some are studying the influence
of various foods i'm fattening cattle,
their influence upon the production of
milk, butter and cheese. some are ex-
perimenting with imported grasses
and forage plants, some are trying to
produce special and useful types of
poultry. cattle and horses, some to
sugar making and others to irrigation
problems. All the stations are required
by law to publish the results of their
experiments, as bulletins. and these
are transmitted through the mails free
of charge to all who apply for them.
n comparatively recent development
in the experiment station work is the
Farmers Institute. these meet at va
rious, times and places to suit the con-
venience of the farmer. and are as a
rule, largely attended. They are gen
orally presided over by some officer of
the experiment station who is special
ly fitted for such work The duties
consist in making up the program. To-
eating and advertising the meetings.
Papers are read by members of the
staff of specialists. and by practical
farmers, hOrticulturists and stock men.
Recently one of the western stations
held its meetings on a train. this ar
had the great advantage
that it could be moved rapidly from
place to place, covering a large part of
the state in a short period. The object
was to instruct the farmer in the choice
of seed corn.
The Florida Agricultural Experiment
Station was established in Lake City
in 1888. During the is years of its ex-
istence it has done a great deal to
benefit the agriculturalist. Situated,
as it is, in what is now a purely farm
ing section of the state, it can not be
expected that it can investigate the
r'itrIIs, fruit and pineapple problems
ut home. For this work it must es-
tabliSh SuIb-StatiOns in the citrus fruit
belt. Neither could it investigate the
purely agricultural problems were it

the rest are but parasites"
The sentiments of the editor of
heartily endorse: The article from
the Farmers Guide is as follows:
In a recent editorial we are told that
the newly installed President Fallieres
of France was a countryman, a farm
er by birth, and that he was proud of
his humble origin. AS L read the edi-
tOrial the question came to me, why
should he not be pround of it? And
a humble arigin simply because he
was born of poor parents or in a rural
home? Why should we speak of farm
life as an humble life? This we find
of the man, prominent in state, churc
or society, if it happens that he was
born on a farm Or in the home of
day laborer, thing he could not help
IL
gin. 1t seems to me that there is a
sort of a disposition among us to de-
preciate what is so wrongfully called
humble life
ment of a firm who desired to induce
young men to take IA course of study
that they were offering, which was to
fit them for prominent and lucrative
places, as the advertisement Sugges-
ted. Accompanying this advertisement
was a picture of young man dressed
i'll Overalls who stood in front of a
desk. while back of the desk was seat
ed a magnificently dressed young man.
Beneath the picture was in substance
this question: (which do you want
to be?" 1t is plainly to be seen that
the object of this picture is to lead
the mind of the reader of the advertise
ment to the place where he will boone
diSSat atisfied with the place held by the
boy in front of the desk and desire the
place held by the boy behind the desk
SUCH Il purpose is llOI OILY ueUrllllenudl
and dangerous, but it is cruel in the
extreme, and | protest with all my
powers against the spirit and dispo-
sitiOn which tends to belittle farm life
or the life of any honorable labor. 1T
should not be tolerated. Why is the
boy that is born in a rural home not
of as high origin as the boy born i'm
the home of Il millionaire, or that of
great statesman? Why is it and how
is it that the kind of work a man does
or the clothes he wears, or the place
in which he is born make him a peas

OF few cars of ripe fruit in the
spring. show an unbrOken record of
freedom from decay. 1t is fact that
: purchasers of these spring lemons
have put them in cellar, kept them
for three months and brought them
out showing no decay.
Two years ago the Leffingweil
lemons were comparatively un-
known, the market for them being
confined to the coast cities. At that
time the output was siXty-five cars
Last year 167 cars were marketed,
of which 40 cars were the product
Of this ranch of 100 acres. Because
of this increase of production it was
necessary to hunt new markets, but
the goods stood up so well and met
with such a good reception that in
nearly every case recorders have re
suited. The demand has become
larger than the supply. The entire
output is at present sold to regular
customers, and even at that there is
sometimes a shortage. The whole
salers get from 25c to $1.OO a box
premium on this fruit and pay ac-
cOrdingly for it. A car a day is at
oh Nhn
average higher and fluctuations are
less sharp than for the general run of
California lemons. and are always
considerably above foreign lemons.
Mr.. Leffingwell says that he could
market several times his present out
put west of the Mississippi.
The Leffingwell ranch employs
from 75 to $50 men, all of whom are
quartered on the place. Some are
married and live in cosy, f1ower-cov-
cred cottages. There are also
large boarding house, and cOmforta-
BILE quarters for the Japs. who do
most of the picking and packing. All
these buildings, with blacksmith
shop, stables and office, make a little
village.
The successful outcome of Mr. Ief-
fingwell's theory in regard to lemons
has enabled him to develop the re-
mainder of the 5O0-acre tract along
similar lines. By next spring the
work of setting will be completed
and the ranch will then comprise 13O
acres of lemons, 20 acres of oranges
and 300 acres of grated walnuts of
the four varieties considered to be
the best at this time. The owners
ideas on walnut culture are as advanc-
ed as those which have proved so
successful with lemons. and he has
every reason to feel confident that they
will prove equally satisfactory.
The management is looking and
building for the future, and when the
plans now being developed have ma
tured, this will he one of the most
wonderful ranches in the country-5OOl
