THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURLST.

The convention adopted a resolution
favoring the plan. DIR. w. G. Stubbs,
one of the foremost men i'm the pro-
motion of agricultural and horticultu-
raj work in the South, in his speech
before the same convention, warmly
advocated Col. Daniel's idea. At the
last meeting of the Alabama State
Horticultural convention, held at
ThrOSby, Alabama, resolution was
passed favoring the establishment of
an agricultural high school in every
county i'm the state of Alabama. Let
us have these schools-we need them.
Those who reside in the country, and
make farming their life-work, should
have the equipment which only the
very best technical education can give.
They need it because it will better
their conditions and elevate them and
their profession. When a young man
realizes that he can make more money
on the farm with the same amount of
labor he has to perform as a clerk,
or as a member of the other profess
sions, there is no doubt he will lean
to the business that brings best re-
suits in health, happiness and money.
What hope is there for man,
working on small salary in a city,
ever to own his own home; ever to
be his own master. Its not much of
a city home man can buy for $4,000,
yet, with that amount, he can pur-
chase a splendid small farm. With
the farm his own, and with the right
kind of education, he can always make
a good living and save money. With
Il $4,000 city home and no income eX-
cept his salary to maintain himself
and family, he will soon have to part
with his city home-Floral World.

The Farm Phone.

The farmer with a phone in his
home has all the world on a down-hill
pull. He sits by his fire and sells his
cotton when it reaches II cents be-
cause his samples are stored in the
town, even though his cotton is at
that time under the cOw-lot she'd He
learns when he comes from the field
at noon that the carload of seed pOta-
toes ordered by him and his neighbors,
has arrived and goes to town imme-
diately for his own share, and by
phone agreement hauls home the por-
ton belonging to two neighbOrs for
enough money to pay for his phone
service that year. On the next day
he is too busy to send a horse to the
town, four miles away, for a bushel
OF seed corn he must have for immedi-
ate planting. Gust arrived by express,
he learns by phone), and since there
is no parcels post he pays a thrlftless
neighbor, who is going into town to
buy bacon, "four bits'' to bring the
seed corn out to him. That is better
than stopping a three-horse plow for
a half day. At night he inquiries of
Squire Lively, over the phone, how
he is pleased with the improved
dOuble-row corn planter, and on learn
ing that it is o. K, he orders one to
be delivered the next day from his
nearest implement house 1t arrives
and saves 80 cents a day in labor for
the ten days of this planting season
The phone is a veritable money-maker
in the rural home. 1t is builder of
society, an insurance against violence
and an ever-present help in case of
sickness.-Farm and Ranch.

for the hen with chicks, that is, if
the broody hens could be obtained,
which is very doubtful.
Many pOultrymen pay too slight at
tention to brooders. They will pur-
chase frst-class incubators but neglect
the brOOders. They seem to consider
them of minor Importance. The fact
is. brOOders are of equal Importance
with incubatOrs. 1t is more difficult
matter to raise chicks (either the
to hatch them. 1t may be said that
more depends upon the brooder than
upon the incubator. If at any time
the chicks get Overheated or chilled
they are weakened in vitality. The
brooder should be capable of holding
an even temperature and of giving
sufficient ventilation to the chicks.
These are the most important require
ments although there are other con-
siderations. With good broOders it
is not a difficult matter to raise to
maturity strong, healthy chicks.
The poultryman should not, above
all, attempt to make brOOder. 1t is
better to purchase one made by ex-
perts. They have had experience and
know the requirements. 1t is impOs-
sible for an amateur to build one as
good. Unless kiln-dried lumber is
used in their construction they will
be sure to warp out of shape. The
heating parts which a novice would
use would be very crude. There might
be danger of fire from them, but even
if there was no danger the heater
might smoke the interior of the brood
er and suffOcate all the chicks. Then
the ventilation is not of the best in
homemade brOoders. They are, in
fact, very poor contrivances and the
poultry raiser will do we'll to leave
them alone and purchase those which
have been tried and whose worth has
been demonstrated.
The value of artificial incubatlng
and brOOding to the pOultryman can
scarcely be over estimated. The poul-
tryman who uses them for the first
time this year will find that he has
taken a long stride in the right direc-
ton.

Agricultural Schools.

The whole country is becoming in
terested i'm the establishment of ag-
ricultural and industrial schools. The
West and Northwest and East are ad-
vocating them.
At the Cane Growers convention,
held in Mobile last week, Col. Edward
Daniel, one of the foremost thinkers
of the day, and a man who has given
the best of his life to educational
causes, made an eloquent and force
full plea for the work In Alabama.

The Fort Myers Press tells of the

The Fort Myers Press tells Of the
good fortune of Mr.. L. Nj. Lybass,
formerly of Fort Myers but now Of
Cuba; something like this: Mr..
Lybass had a cattle ranch in Lee
County and had all he could do to
navigate. The Spanish war in
creased the price of cattle from So to
SIS and he came out well ON the deal.
After the war the price for cattle was
reduced and he went to Cuba and start
ed a cattle ranch. While there he be-
came interested in lands and now he
has become rich by selling $1,000 acres
to a Chicago syndicate at very great
profit. Not every man would have
succeeded in Cuba, but this man has.

The tin can is sometimes a GOdsend
Let's not condemn it entirely, but let
us see how much of a variety we can
grow here, that with some careful pre-
parat1On can be made food fit for an
American to eat. Milk, butter and
eggs with all their accessories are to
be had here i'm abundance and the best
the world affords. The sweet potato
is at home with us; aside from the
ordinary methods of preparation, we
have the sweet potato pone and the
sweet potato custard pie, so nearly like
raise that vegetable.
CaSSava has many possibilities.
Wash, peel, crate, wash i'm much
water, use the coarse part for pudding,
prepare the cassava the same way for
griddle cakes, using only a small
amount of -four, and it is a change
to use one-half a cup of same in

stead of three.
Then the starch that settles in pan,
when it is washed, can be dried and
used for starch and for flour; for light

The kumquat, after being soaked
over night in soda water, makes a de-

The attendance at Farmers Insti-
tutes this winter has been larger in
most sections of the country than ever
before. 1t is not uncommon to see 100
to 400 or 500 farmers turn out to an
Institute meeting, and when they
come, they are there for the entire
session. One noticeable feature is the
close attention that is given to all that
is said and the intelligent questions
asked the lecturers. This certainly
shows progression among our farmers,
and anyone who says that the farmers
are not interested in their profession
and anxious to learn is not acquainted
with them.-Coleman's Rural World.

served and jellied, and a marmalade
made of the puice and pulp is nice to
eat with meats. A cOnfectiOn manu-
I Ifactured from the peel of either orange
or grapefruit is relished by all. We
must not omit the orange short cake
and the orange pudding so nice in the
| orange season. Sliced oranges with
pulp of grapefruit and sugar an hour
before serving, gives a tOOthsOme
sauce; then adding to this sauce sliced
bananas and pineapples and grated
cOcOanut we have ambrOsia that truly
is a dish for an honest American. A
cup of grapefruit juice in a custard
for cake-tilling is fine. The grape
fruit can be used in all ways we use
the orange.
The loquats (if the freeze don't take
them) are a great addition to the table,
dried, preserved, canned with or with
out sugar they can be used for sauce,
pies, short cake or jelly.
The peach is largely raised and all
know its possibilities.
The Kelsey plums, peeled, halved
and pitted can be canned SO one can
hardly tell them from peaches.
And the sweet, wild plum is used in
many ways with US.
The fig grows in luXuriance in GER
tain spots in our state and is much
used for canning and preserving and
the finest vinegar is made from the
tig. Also yeast from the leaves.

The Avocado pear for salads and

Surinam cherries we can and jelly.
The LeCOnte pear is canned, pre-

The grape grows in most healthy

scuppernOng in several varieties gives
us chance for preserves and jellIes
and the juice of the grape brought to

Honey is largely produced in the

Sugar and syrup from cane are man

Bananas are raised to a limited ex-

If every buyer of seed corn this
spring should insist that his corn came
on the ear, the supply would be re-
duced almost one-half. Yet no one
who has read the discussion on corn in
the Rural World can doubt that this
is the best way to purchase his seed
corn. Some seedsmen make the ex-
cuse that they shell their corn to save
freight on the cObs, but this is prob
ably not the principal reason, for
higher price is usually received for
corn on the ear. If your scotsman will
not supply you with ear corn, try some
other one who will; there are plenty
of them. Insist upon buying ear corn
and test it thoroughly yourself before
planting.-COleman's Rural World.

Alter the Crown Point.

1t is stated on good authority that
local mining men are negotiating for the
Crown Point and Virginia mine at the
head of Virginia canon, and there is a
strong probability that it will be secured
BY one Of the several men who are after
the property, although the terms de-
r,anded by the owners are considered
high and beyond reason, or almost pro-
hibitive. The Crown Point is undoubt-
edly one of the best mines in the district
and in the hands Of competent mining
man would be one of the most profitable
in the two counties.
The Crown Point shaft has been sunk
to depth Of $50 feet. with five pairs of
levels, the longest being the lower east,
which is in over 600 feet. The mine
has produced nearly half mlllion from
this small amount of development. The
