THE ELKS' NEW
QUARTERS.
First Regular Meeting to Be
Held in the New Home
Tonight.
BRIGHT AS A NEW PIN.
Charity Wagons Were Out
Early Yesterday
Morning.


The new quarters Of the B.P.O.E.
win ibe formally opened tonight.
which is the regular meeting night
Of the order. It is the intention to
open with agrand banquet, if every
thing can be arranged.
The Elks bought the Flack proper
ty several months ago, as they want
ed permanent home for their or
der. The quarters are on the End
floor and are perfectly adapted to
the size Of the antlered brotherhood.
A great deal of money has been
spent to make the Inew home what
| it is, one of the handsomest in
the State, and the members have
lall been interested in prepar-
ling a meeting place as well as a
NOOK, where they can resort at any
Ihour during the day when worn out
from contact with the world, as well
as work out bothersome problems in
business. They have freely given of
their means for the many changes
that were necessary to convert the
second story of their property into
an Elks home and are justly proud
of it.
You cannot form a correct idea of
how fresh and bright everything
Hooks Ayithout going through the
buildings The lodge room takes up
the entire front space over the two
store rooms with the exception of
the stairway. 1t is beautifully pa
pered, brilliantly lighted and has
everything that tends to make it at
tractive and convenient. In this
room is pianola and two billiard
tables, touches. etc. The large din
ling room is in the rear, as is the
cooking department, cloak rooms,
etc. Telephones are conveniently
located, and the visitor, on entering,
lis impressed with the general air OF
cheer and comfort of the entire ar
rangement.
The order has been, if possible
more liberal in its donations fol-
charity this Christmas than ever be-
fore. By tireless efforts the COM
mittee appointed for the purpose
| several days in advance secured the
names and residences Of all the de-
serving poor in the city. 1t has
heretofore been the custom to send
out wagons loaded with needed
articles to the poor on Christmas
day, but this time they thought it
best to anticipate somewhat. So
yesterday morning early the wagons
were loaded with the articles that
had been stored below for several
days and they made the rounds of
the city. The object of this was to
let the beneficiaries know what they
were to get in time to keep them
from spending what little money
| they had to invest in Christmas
goods so as not to duplicate what
had been given by the Elks. We do
not know how many homes were
made happy by the visits of the
Elks' wagons, but no one was omit
ted whose names they had been able
to secure.
The order throughout this country
is conspicuous for charity. They al
ways give to the poor,no matter what
their creed expecting no recompense
for their kindness, and the name of
Elk has become synonym for ev-
erything that is liberal and kind

How to Keep Milk Sweet.

w. J. Frazer. of the Illinois Expert
ment Station, gives these suggestions
i'm regard to securing milk from your
cows that will keep sweet for a re-
markable length of time:
Keep the cows clean, and do not
compel or allow them to wade and
live i'm filth. This means clean yards
and clean well-bedded stalls. Every
thing short of this is absolutely re-
pulsive and should not be tolerated
any longer in a civilized community.
Stop the filthy habit known as wet
ting the teats, by which is meant the
drawing of little milk into the hand
with which to wet the teats before and
during milking, leaving the excess of
filthy milk i'm the pail
Wash all utensils clean by first using
lukewarm water, afterwards washing
in warm water, and rinsing in an
abundance of boiling water, then ex-
posing until the next using, in direct
sunlight, which is good steriliZer.
Use milk pals, cans, etc, for no
other purpose but to hold milk.
Keep out of these utensils all soIIr
or tainted milk, even after they have
been used for the day. Using them for
this purpose at any time infects them
so badly that no amount of washing
is likely to clean them. Bacteria are
invisible, and millions can find lOdg-
ing in the thin film of moisture that
remains after dishes are apparently
clean.

F. E. c. Railway have put in to set
out cars on and some IS to 20 men
have been busy all the season prepar-
ing the fruit for shipment and load
ing it into cars.
The Florida Pinery is one of the
best in this vicinity. 1t is only lit
tie over half a mile south of West
Palm Beach, a short distance below
Woodlawn Cemetery, and, to any one
interested in the growing of pineap-
piles and who wishes to see how such
fruit is raised and handled, a visit
to this Pinery would be both interest
ing and instructive, for here can be
seen the young plants just set out, to
old patches nearly run out and land
where pines have been raised until
they run out, and then the land has
been rejuvenated and new plants set
out on it and these are now doing as
we'll or better than those planted on
new land Visit the Florida Pinery
and see how these things are done.

The Necessity for Good Tools.


The old, battered hammer or hatchet
the discarded saw or chisel, are 81
lent witnesses of the necessity of buy
ing good tools for the home. A good
job cannot be done without good tools,
and nearly every day something turns
UP about the house that could be i'm
proved or repaired if the proper tools
were at hand.
The Keen Kutter Tool Cabinets are
designed for the convenience of the
home. The. assOrtments of tools were
carefully Thought out by men who
know tools and their requirements.
Every tool has a place of its own in
the cabinet, so it will not be damaged
by contact with others Every tool
belongs to the famous Keen Kutter
brand, which means they are the best
you could buy.
Keen Kutter Tool Cabinets are
made in various sizes, costing from
$50 to $1,000, according to the as
sOrtment of tools.
All Keen Kutter Cabinets are COM
plete in every detail within the limits
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-08-22

of the requirements for which they
We're designed. All contain in various
numbers and varieties, Saws, Brace,
Bits, Chisels, Gimblets, Avis, Planes
Hammers, Hatchets, Files, Pliers,
Screwdrivers, Wrenches, Nail-sets,
Reamers, Rules, Squares, and every
thing that is needed.
Nothing is forgOtten-you don't
have to send out in the midst of your
work for some trifie. The drawers are
filled with the necessary accessories,
such as glue, steel wire screws, sand
paper, etc. 1t would be difficult to
collect so useful an outfit by buying
each piece separately, and impossible
to secure tools of any other make so
satisfactory for home use.
Keen Kutter Tool Cabinets and Box
es are the only ones containing a COM
plete set of tools under one name and
guaranteed to be perfect in
very respect.

larger than these, being lbs, and but
very few 36s or smaller. The prices
have so far netted somewhere in the
neighborhood of $2.oo a crate on an
average for all.
Mr.. Matthams owns I25 acres OF
land in all and it extends from Lake
Worth, on the east, across the county
road and the railroad up over the
ridge and to the fresh water on the
west His residence, on the bluff
overlooking Lake Worth, is COM
Portable and commodious one and is
surrounded by almost jungle of
beautiful and rare tropical and semi
tropical shrubs and plants of many
kinds. A hot house and nursery in
rear of dwelling is where he raises
both common and uncommon trees,
vines and plants, and so great va
riety has he that even the names of
some of them have dropped from his
memory.
The pineapple part of the plantation
runs from the county road to and
across the railroad and up to the
crest of the ridge. Between the coun-
ty road and the railroad are five acres
of pines under shed, but, with this
exception, all the pines are grown in
the open air, with no protection what
ever The only other shield is one
over the citrus tree nursery, where
all the citrus trees for the place are
raised from seed.
Over the ridge west of the pinery
are two clearings planted out to some
of the finest kinds of oranges and
grapefruit, about IS acres in all, halt
orange and half grapefruit, and no
trees could look better, most of them
are on sour orange stock, the seed
of which was planted in 1000, and all
the trees are now coming into bear
ing, some fruit having been picked Oft
them the past season.
In all, on the place, are some 400
orange and grapefruit trees, besides
lines, lemons, avocado pears, man
goes and guavas, most of which are in
bearing or soon will be. All of them,
with scarcely an exception, are look
ing and doing we'll and it is Mr.. Mat
thams intention to set out more or
anges and grapefruit trees this coming
fall if he can get the land cleared in
time.
To facilitate the shipment of the
pines a packing house has been erect

Drying OF the Cows.


The matter of drying off the cows at
or near the end of the lactatiOn period
every farmer who has his own finan-
cial welfare and the welfare of his
cows at heart. Recently a man told
me that he had lost the use of five cows
this summer by reason of their udders
going wrong, writes ID. ]. Ryther, in
Michigan Farmer. The man has more
money than most farmers which, with
a selfcOnsciousness of his importance,
renders him careless or Indifferent to
some of the smaller details of farming
and dairying l had previously learned
this mans method of drying off cows,
hence l was not surprised at his ami
mails losing the use of their udders.
He milks from 30 to 40 cows, and
when COW gets down to two quarts
or theresrbOuts at a milking he simply
turns her on pasture away from home
and dOes not milk her longer. Any
body knows that this is a destructive
and even cruel method, which ought
to bring sufficiently bad results to set
al course for poor man to follow,
even had he no feeling fnr the dumb
animals.
l think every COW, to do her best,
should be absolutely dry for at least
four weeks, and | think six weeks
still better. She is about ready then
to begin to spring" With this end
in view, with persistent mixers 1 milk
but once a day, beginning at least 60
days previous to the date the COW is
due. She soon will give no more at
one milking that she did at each milk
ing when MIXED twice daily; then 1
milk every other day, and then less
frequently, but milk occasionally as
long as milk forms. l have no trouble
from cows losing a quarter.
A good many do not keep tally of
the dates on which cows are due.
This should not be. If you know when
your COWS are due, you know when
they should go dry, and i'm heifers that
have ii tendency to go dry too soon you
can lengthen the lactatiOn period by
care and feeding, thus establishing a
very desirable quality in the young
cow
Some cows when on pasture are so
persistent in milking that it becomes
necessary to stable them short time
and feed dry fodder, but most of them
are more apt to go dry too soon; how
ever, they should be MIXED out clean
