business. the trades and professions,
are constantly in need of new recruits
as the rapid growth of the towns and
communities on the East Coast creates
growing demand for men to fill al
most every profession and occupation,
and there is no better section of the
country for young man to begin his
career than on the East Coast of Flo
rida.
Florida possesses more natural ad-
vantages than is enjoyed by any other
state. 1t has approximately 1000
miles of seacOast. together with
numerous large bays, sounds. lagOOns
and rivers, lakes and streams, teem
ing with fish of almost every kind AMI
variety A soil capable of growing
every known fruit and vegetable.
Vast areas of land perfectly adapted
to stOck-raising. and climate une
Qualled in the world.
Owing to the continual and rapid
increase in transportation facilities
through the building of new railroads.
Industries have increased to immense
proportions still capable of expanding
an hundre(lfOld without in the least
affecting the supply or Over-reachfng
the demand or the possibilities of eX-
tending the trade.
The cities of Florida are of course,
sharing in the great development of
the entire state. The following are
the more important cities of the East
Coast. all of which offer excellent OPP
pOrtunitieS for investment: Jackson

New Smyrna. Titusville Fort Pierce.
West Palm Beach. Miami. and many
smaller towns, villages and commune

In relation to climate, Florida Oc-
cupies most favorable position. for
the modifying influences in operation
have produced climate that for
equability has few if any. equals, and
no superior. As regards temperature.
continued observations in various
parts of the state show that it is not
excessive in either extreme during
the entire year. the range between
winter and summer temperature being
only about 20 degrees The annual
mean is about 40 degrees; that of
spring about n degrees: summer. so

experience has invariably shown those
countries blessed with water facilities
for travel, transportation and COM
merce. are the ones who accumulate
the greatset wealth: prosperous
and progressive Florida has these
facilities to greater extent than any
other state. for practically all of her
territory is in close touch with the
commerce of the ocean. through her
harbors. where her products may be

The population Of Florida has in
creased within the last five years be
yond that of any previous decade. In
1890 52S.542. 1t is now at least IJO,-

The output from mines. manu-
factures, timber naval stores. hsher-
les and agricultural products has III
creased in the same ratio
1t is not necessary to go to the bleak
Northwest or to the arid southwest
i'm order to make stOck-raising high
ly profitable industry. Florida has
vast area unsurpassed in extent
and suitability for the raising of i've
stock of every kind and the climate is
ideal for the industry.
In Southern Florida is found the
greatest grazing region east of the
Nississippi The climate is perfect,
never cold enough to kill the grasses
which grow as green in January AS
in June. and where good water is IN
bountiful supply at all seasons of the
year Even the longest drought known
has failed to produce a scarcity of
water. 1t is never hot enough to
injure stock, and insect pests are only
troublesome during parts of the
months of May and June, after which
time they disappear. In this country
it is never so cold as to require hOus
ing. and feed does not have to be
grow the year round. and stock thrives
on it at all seasons In all this terri
tory the water supply never fails, as
it does III the WeSt-TeXaS, for in
stance where herds must he driven
many miles to stagnant water holes,
while thousands die of thirst on the
WAY. something wholly unknown here
In Florida the hundreds of springs,
creeks. rivers and lakes that never
go dry furnish fresh water convenient
to every pasture or range every mo-
ment of time: in fact. it is an untliSput-
ed truth that there is not spot with
in the state that surveyed from a
common center for five miles around,
running water Will not be encountered,
and as water is the most important
factor in the makeup of a successful
stOck-raiSing country, we lay this
special stress upon the feature We
knew of no other section of the coUn-
try that can say as much.
Hogs are raised as successfully and
probably cheaper than in any other
country. The famous ''razor-back." of
which so much has been heard of in
connection with Florida has long

less susceptible to disease than i'm any
other section of the country.
This is another industry closely al
lied to StOck-raiSing.and necessary
adjunct to all-around profitable farm
ing. The industry has greatly increas
ed in importance in the last six or eight
years. Fifteen to twenty years age
a considerable number of thoroughbred
Jersey. Ayreshire, Alderney and some
HOlstein and Durham bulls and cows
were introduced into the state, princi
pally in the section line lying between
the Suwannee and AppalachicOla
rivers.
The effect of this was very sOOr
noticeable in the betterment of milk
stock by grading up. till now Il very
large percentage of the stock. and
especially that used for dairy purposes
are either thOroughbleds or high grade
or one of the other breeds mentioned
but chiefly Jerseys. At this time. how
ever. high-brade and thoroughbred
cattle are to be found in every section
of the state, and the industry is pay
ing handsome profits on the invest
ment. The business is steadily in
creasing, vet the demand is far greater
than the supply. the dairymen of the
state not being able to supply more
than 10 per cent. of the quantity con
sumed.
Last year the milk disposed of to
consumers amounted to little over
3,6OO.O 900 gallons. valued at $S90,OOO
the butter produced amounting the
same year to nearly G0O.000 pounds
and sold at something over 10000
This was the product of $4,000 cows
of all grades. but really the product
of about 1000 cows of improved milk
stock. That there is an opening here
for many times the present dimension
of this industry is easily seen. and the
facts as we have briefly given them.

Florida has acquired Il world wide
fame for the production of the most
delicious oranges grown. and for sever
al years. great profits were made by
owners of groves. The result was Il
veritable boom in the prices of lands
supposed to be adapted for orange
groves, and bearing groves sold at
enormous figures.
In the southern part of the state.
the pineapple is very extensively and
profitably grown, the acreage being
largely increased each year.
In growing vegetables the same
methods of cultivation are generally
followed here as in other states. except
that they are adapted as to time of
planting through the SEASONS and Flo
rida has the advantage of being able
to send its products to Northern and
Western markets at an earlier date
than any of the states north of us,
thus enabling the planters to COM
mand a monopoly of the market as
well as prices. Many of these crops
bring handsome returns, tomatoes
having yielded as much as 81 900 per
acre, but the average is from $500 to
5000. Irish potatoes will average near
