both houses to expediate the

F1orida's Progress.

Florida is becoming more and more
schOoled in the art of putting to good
account her advantages Where years
ago Florida looked to the West for
her forage supplies, today she has
forage to sell. St. Johns county farm
ers have corn and hay to sell, and this,
too from land that yielded a handsome
money crop in the spring from Irish
potatoes. Other sections of the state
which are paying attention to the grow
ing Of cotton are now getting IS cents
for short staple and IS cents for Sea
Island, while those who are making
tobacco a speciality are reaping har-
vest on sun-grOwn at rs cents and on
the shaded product at ST per pound.
Lands that are now being cleared of
CROPS are being prepared for planting
to the various kinds of vegetables. The
guava, banana and other tropical fruits
are moving from the southern ex-
tremity Of the state, while the orange.
which abounds throughout the peninsu-
Ia of Florida, is on the eve of it's ex-
odus to the cities north of us. And
80 the work goes on from January to
January.-St. Augustine Meteor.

Hog Notes.

Under this heading Kimba11's Dairy
Farmer talks to swine breeders. We
wish that more F1oridians could be
reckoned as belonging to this class
There is money in the business in this
state, we think more so than any
where else in the United States The
Farmer says:
The prices that have prevailed for
hogs for sometime have demonstrated
that it is wise for us sons of the soil
to stick to our undertakings. The
men who have owned swine and given
them good attention have made
money.
There are farmers who in their hog
holding follow the ups and downs of
the r1arket-or try to at least When
hoos are low and the demand for them
below normal, this class Of farmers

t;cal1v going out Of the business Then

prices and all the men who have gone
out wish they were back. This is a
very good thing for those more pa
tient and far-seeing breeders who re-
main constant. In swine breeding,
and in fact in most farm operations,
it is we'll to have pretty clearly de-
fined policy at the start, one that will
suit the tastes, labor conditions, farm
management, market possibilities and
financial ability of the farmer. Then
stick to the line or lines taken ur
and by intelligence, industry and pa
tience compel success.
While stability of purpose in hog
raising, as in everything else, is much
to be commended, it is we'll also to
cultivate fexibility of purpose so one
may not stand still. There are always
things to learn, always things to do
differently and better. There is pro
gression in breeding as there is in
management and feeding, and one
should guard against being SO staple
that he becomes stationary.
The hog Of this year should be look
ed upon by the breeder as the fore
runner of the hog year hence. A
collateral line of all hog breeding
should always be breed and type i'm
provement, the evolution of the spe-
cial purpose hog, the one that will
convert more farm grain products into
choice meats than any hog before him
has done.
On the face of it, when one looks at
some of the best specimens of the pop
ular breeds of hog, it may occur to
him to wonder in what particular one
might think to start an Improvement.
The animals under study appear to
leave nothing unfinished On the 9TH
er hand, these best specimens are not
the standard reached by the droves
| of hogs, are not the average of their
breeds. They show how good the
average should be so that the man on
the farm who is putting his labor, time
and hopes into them might receive
from them all that is coming to him.
There are men among the breeders
who are bending their efforts to the
production of the large hog. They
want to make him brother to the
OK in tipping the beam, but to my
mind there is a glory of the OK and
glory Of the hog, and it is not the un-
naturally big hog that is the most
profitable. He does not always furnish
the most good eating. The end Of the
hog is to be eaten, in fact, both ends
and the middle, and the legs he stands
on, and the eater of hogs does not pay
the most for the big hog, but for the
best one. Some of the pre-eminent
qualities of hog meat are it's texture
fneness, flavor and quality. Fineness
and bigness in pork do not always go
together. The year old hog, fed mod
erately fat, that will dress 800 to 400
pounds, has eating qualities worthy
the gustatory consideration of the lover
Of good living.
Surely we can't do more grateful
thing to help market conditions than
to furnish market products that ap-
peal to the memory of the consumer
The over-grown hog is not a trade
winner
