THE Boy WAS RIGHT.-A bishop once
asked a class of boys some questions
in mental arithmetic. Said he:
Now. my little man, you, there. II
were to shoot at tree with five birds
in it, and kill three, how many would
be left?"
Three, sir"
No. no. my boy: there would only
be two left"
please, sir. you said you shot
three; only they would be left, tn
other two would be flied away"
Yes" replied the bishop; you are
quite right; you may sit down."

Growing Draft Horses in the
South.

We believe that the raising Of horses
will eventually become a great industry
in Florida. We have everything that
is necessary, except the men with the
will to take up the new business and
push it to successful end. There are
several branches Of the business, the
Southern Farm Magazine tells Of one
of them:
In the early days the Shire and Clyde
were introduced quite extensively into
some sections of the South, but these
animals were never favorites. Their
bulky size did not appear to the South
ern eye trained to admire the fine bone
and clean, hairless limb Of the thor
oughbred Then the tenacious charac-
ter of Our red clay was source Of
much annoyance and trouble, the
large amount Of hair on the fetlocks
becoming filled with it, and when al
lowed to go for a few days irritation
Of the skin resulted. 1t was difficult
to keep the clay out Of the long hair
Of these breeds, and for that reason the
clean-limbed Percheron met with more
favor than any other of the draft types.
This place he has successfully held until
the present time, and now that better

time Some nights I should guess that
there were forty or more. And several
times in the night can be heard a clear
s1very clarion like call. At light they
fly to the ground and walk around
They have so monopolized our time and
care that the flowers have not increas-
ed It is a case Of the survival Of the
toughest. For beauty we look at The
snowy blossoms or gorgeous tinted
foliage OF the Dogwood. Just now
the Umbrella Chlnas are golden against
the background of oaks and pines with
such a sky as only Florida shows.
For years a shrub of Allamanda grew
up each year, but froze down each win
ter, but this summer it has been cover
ed with small yellow flowers and the
plant has reached to the second story
porch. A true Allamanda has been
fine though not so luxuriant. 1t has
taken it's own space and reached among
and through climbing Saffrano Rose.

it down. Perhaps Jack Frost will do it
for me. Violets flourish in it's shade.

Crop Statistics, Etc.

The E. O. Painter Publishing CO.
c. Gentlemen: l consider the correct
compilation Of the statistics Of the
crops Of Florida will be of great value
to the producers Of the state.
So far as l have heard, this year has
been marked case of Northern buyers
travelling through the state claiming
that there was large crop of citrus
fruits, and trying to contract for them
at low prices. Though some have been
deceived, I believe that the maj ority
are holding for reasonable price.
A low price to the producer is not a
necessity, if square deal could be Sc
cured between the producer and the
consumer In my experience, the re-
taller figures on selling at from Sl.5O
to $500 per box advance above whole
sale cost. In the case Of good sound
fruit there can be but trif1ing loss, as
| have known boxes Of our fruit, in the
ordinary temperature Of living rooms,
to hold up six weeks with but two
oranges decaying in that time, and if
kept wrapped they wilt but little.
The producers should hold for
reasonable prices, and let the retailer
be satisfied with less profit They have
but small investment for not exceed
ing a month on each purchase, and no
risk, while the producer has a years
investment and runs all the risk at
tendant on crop losses, clear to the
retailers sales table
Is there no way to prevent commits
sion men sacrificing other peoples
goods, by reckless cutting Of prices to
make quick sales? AS it is, marketing
is more risky problem than produc-
ing, in my experience. 0. w. S.
We add one or two sentences from
another letter in answer to our circular
of inquiry about crop statistics.
Thanking you for the enquiry, and
trusting that the information given, is
what you are looking for from we
growers In closing, I wish to con-
graduate you upon this idea as I think
it a good one. | am yours very truly"

sound, well-developed feet, and this
is more important in an animal intend
ed to work on the hard, smooth pave
ments Of our great cities.
Some will say that the development
OF the draft-horse business is prejudic-
ial to the interest Of mule-grow and
that the one business is quite as profit
able as the other It is true that there
is nothing to choose so far as profit
is concerned if the right type of mule
is bred, but here, again, many of our
farmers are acting detrimental to their
best interests, as many Of the mules
they are now growing are understood.
We need larger type Of mare for their
successful production. AS matter OF
fact, the development Of an interest in
the breeding Of draft horses Of
superior type will, from my point OF
view, stimulate an interest in the breed
ing Of better mules. No animal indus
try can be developed to state of per-
lection in any given section Of the
country without leaving its impress on
every kindred interest, and there is GER
tainly every reason for the encourage
ment Of the breeding of both horses and
mules for sale in and about our South
ern cities, factories, mines and lumber
camps, and for export to the large
cities Of the East
The demand for drafters of superior
merit at the present time is in excess Of
the supply, and there is therefore every
need for the encouragement and stimula-
ton Of this business. While foundation
stock is somewhat scarce at the present
time, systematic attention to this in
dustry will soon result in the develop
ment OF special class Of grade mares
suitable for the production Of high
class draft animal In the beginning it
may pay to bring in some large West.
ern-grade mares for foundation stock,
especially in communities where this in
dustry has received no attention what
ever in the past It is a comparatively
new business, and must receive care
full attention if the most profitable re-
turns on the investment in good-quality
stations are to be secured. In num-
Der Of localities good stations have
been brought in recently. The ques-
ton now is, will they be used on the
right type of mares, and then will that
care and attention be given to the off
spring which the rapid growth and de-
velopment Of the draft type Of animal
makes necessary. If proper attention is
given to the details of an industry
which has received, generally speaking,
but little attention in the past compared
with the advantages it has to offer, the
| farmers living in Our limestone regions
can soon establish reputation for the
breeding Of draft animals of superior

class Of sires is being introduced, and
some effort being made to stimulate an
interest in the breeding of draft horses
along judicious lines, the industry is re-
viving in many sections. 1t is further
true that the farmers now realize the
necessity Of breeding this class of sire
to only their heaviest mares and those
possessed Of good compact forms and a
b1ocky conformation. Where this prac-
tice is followed superior 4-vpe OF
drafter is being obtained, POSSIBLY not
showing quite the same weight as The
Clyde and Shire, but a well-hnished
stylish animal with plenty of life and
animation; and possessing, as most OF
them do, a dash Of the thoroughbred
blood, they show good action, have
good, clean limbs and a stylish appear
ance which makes them very attractive
One of the greatest drawbacks to
producing a draft animal of suitable
type at the present time is the scarcity
Of mares of sufficient weight for breed
ing purposes. The best animal to use
would be a 1000-pound, or, better still
a 1200-pound mare. 1t will take lit
tie time to secure this class Of animal
but they can be successfully developed
in the course Of few years by more
care in selecting and breeding for type,
form and weight. The indiscriminating
mating Of draft sires with mares OF
faulty conformation or those Of under
size and weight is simply waste Of
effort, and will always prove unproflt-
able.
A great deal depends upon the sire.
He must be prepotent and possess all
the desirable attributes Of a draft Stall
lion. 1t is quite customary now for
companies to import large number OF
animals and then peddle them about
the country, selling them to groups Of
farmers as company horses. There is
nothing wrong with this method pro
vided the farmers purchase the animal
at reasonable price, but when they are
called on to pay two or three times
it's value it is a more doubtful propo-
sition, and then, when the quality Of
some OF the animals offered is con
sidered, the investment is unfortunate
from every point of view. The great
est care and skill should be exercised
in selecting an animal possessed Of the
highest quality for at best he is to be
bred to variety Of mares, the lineage
of which is uncertain, and it is especial
ly important under these CONDITION:
that the sire be markedly prepotent II
order that his qualities may predon1i
nate in the offspring. The feet Of thu
Percheron sires are often detective, an(
this is a point that should be examined
with special care and attention. An,
animal to be valuable must have good

Death of Tom Thorgramson.

Tom Thorgramson died suddenly or
Monday night from asthma. His
family and friends had little reason tc
expect that death was so near, as he
was down town on Monday evening
to the drug store, and on returning
home retired early. He was later
found outside on the lawn in a dying
condition probably having gone out
side because he found it too close in
doors.
The funeral was held yesterday, be-
ing conducted by Rev. Olson, of
whose church the deceased was a
member, and being attended also,.. be-
sides other friends, by large number
of the A. o. U. W. lodge, of which he
was one of the oldest members.
Mr.. Thorgramson was born at
soude, Tellemarken, Norway, Octo-
Der q, 1858. He was married twenty
nine years ago to Sophia Jensen, who
survives him. Five children were
born to them, of whom two survive,
one son Carl, who is married and
lives in st. Paul and the other
daughter, Mrs. Edwin Sather, of
McKensie county, N. D. Both were
present at the funeral yesterday.

Weather and Crops.

With considerable cutting yet to be
done, heavy rain fell Wednesday
and rain has been falling more or less
continuously for three days, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday. The rain
means that most of the grain which is
still uncut will not be cut at all, but
the injury to grain in shock depends
entirely on how soon the weather
clears and whether it stays clear.
Several threshing machines expect
ed to begin operations the very day
that the rain came.
