trees were very young and small, it
being a detriment to the growth of
the trees; but in these enlightened days
that abundant crops can be raised,
it is continually being demonstrated
especially when the trees are small,
and the growth of the trees enhanced
thereby.
The Improvement in stock has kept
pace with the improved conditions in
the agricultural department. The
scrub stock has served it's purpose,
but it has seen it's day and is rapidly
being replaced by improved breeds
The climatic conditions and the easily
and cheaply cultivated forage crops,
now extensively being raised, has de-
monstrated that Florida is the favored
state for the production of the finest
stock and beef in the United States.
II has passed the experiment stage
and the rearing of fine stock is no
longer an experiment.
The same applies to the razor back
hog which has also served it's pur-
pose but has now been relegated to
the past ages by being crossed with
pure blOOded stock of the very best
grades, many of which have proved
their superiority, and from personal
experience | feel justified in saying
that it is to every mans interest who
owns an orange grove to keep and
pasture in his grove a bunch of hogs.
The benefit to the grove will pay for
the care and keeping during the sun1-

of the United States are gong to
awake to a realization OF the tact
that all the year around Florida has
the ideal climate Of the United States.
Thev are going to seek and find here
comfort in summer as they found 1t
here in winter, and our State will be
as. much of summer resort os it is
now winter resort.
But that is not all. Settlers, learn
ing of the possibilities here, are going
to come in droves, bringing into cult
vation the lands now going to waste,
and that should be under cultivation.
They are going to learn that Our in
comparable climate makes it possible
to till the soil all the year around
and take from one plot of ground
two or three crops in a single year.
Florida needs more settlers, and if
the State were better understood it
would have them, but people from
other states are learning this now
and not many years viii hurry by
before thousands will come to enjoy
with us what nature has supplied IN
such lavish quantities here, but what
bags and bags of gold cannot buy
elsewhere-perfect climatic condl-
tiOnS.
Mark our prediction Within the
next ten or fifteen years Florida's
present population multiplied by five
will hardly cover its population, and
our State-the best and fairest Of all
will blossom as a rose and hum
with busy industry.
All that is necessary is to make the
people understand what we have to
offer and they will come.

Convicts in Portable Gagged Cars.

We have urged the use of the con-
victs on the roads. Objection has
been made that it would be too ex-
pensive to house them. We told Of
the fact that it has been done by
using wagons for the purpose, but
we could not quote Our authority
the Savannah Weekly News, which
we copy to show that Our neighbors
are doing the very thing of which we
had spoken:
Two more convict cars were added
to the county gang yesterday, three
cars in all, besides one for cooking
department. The cars hold twelve
men each and have comfortable hunks,
making them about as comfortable as
a sleeping car The cars are like big
iron cages, but they have canvas
sides to be lowered in inclement
weather.
The three cars accommodate
thirty-six convicts, though there are
hardly ever that many on the road at
one time. At present there are just
thirty, divided into two gangs, one
for bridges and the other for roads
The bridge gang is repairing and re-
building all Of the bridges of the
county, while the road gang has been
engaged in claying several of the most
important public roads, thus putting
them in excellent shape
For the next several weeks the road
gang will be doing repair work, and
then it will begin making new roads
by bringing the clay to the top and
mixing it with the sand.

all been changed, and now the diet

First, on getting up and going to
bed, drink plenty of cold water. Eat
for breakfast, until the bilious attack

This result will come, even though the
biliousness is one Of the spring sort,
and one with which you have from year
to year been much afflicted Herb
drinks, bitter drinks, lager beer, ale,
whisky, and half-dozen other spring
medicines, are simply barbarous.

the famous Poland Springs in Maine,
Tor his private use. On arrival here
he was induced to try Our spring
water. 1t just suited his palate and
was SO satisfactory to him that he
never had his barrel of Poland spring

1t is now the opinion of many medl-

article, the same paper published the
following to show the curative powers
Of water:
Two years ago this week, a wise
stomach specialist in Boston told Will
liam Goodman he had malady that
could not be cured. The malady had
a long Latin name Goodman failed to
remember more than five minutes, but
it had such an awful sound that he be-
lieved the doctor was right.
"YOu can't live more than a couple
of months" the physician said, so
you had better go home and take
things easy"
Goodman went home, made his will
and waited for death. While he was
waiting an aunt from Concord, N. H.,
visited him and heard all about the
terrible stomach disease. She wasn't
convinced that her nephew had to die.
II know a man in Concord who was
lot worse off than you are, and he
cured himself by drinking water" she
said ''He just slushed it down by
the gallon"
Goodman had always fought shy of
water, believing that it wasn't good
for the system, but he now began to
take large quantities Of the fluid. I'm
a few days he was surprised to find
that he felt better. At the end of a
month the improvement was Marked
and at the expiration of six weeks he
was considerably stronger and had
gained two pounds. From this time
on the gain was steady until today
the man is in perfect health and can
eat Welsh rabbit at midnight without
feeling i'll effects.
In the two years Goodman drank
four quarts of water day, being care
ful not to drink twenty minutes be-
fore eating or within an hour there
after. Eie has thus consumed 1920
quarts of water. He has used neither
tea, coffee nor spirits, but has drunk
a good deal of milk He eats meat
potatoes, vegetables and sweets. In
fact, he dimes on ordinary food, save
that he abstains from pastry.

Intestinal Parasites of the Hog.

The following is taken from the
Nav Bulletin of the Oklahoma Expert
ment Station, and embodies some Of
the results of Investigations made by
Prof L. L. Lewis:
There are a number of different
kinds of worms found in the alimentary
canal of the hog but probably the one
most commonly found is large white
worm, varying in length from five to
ten inches. This parasite is usually
found in the small intestine. Other
common parasites Of the intestine in
cludes the thorn headed worm Of the
small intestine, the pin worm of the
rectum and the thread worm of the
large intestine. The effect of large
numbers of any Of these parasites is
to interfere very materially with the
growth of the hog. Young hogs and
pigs are injured to a greater extent
than adults as they frequently become
stunted to such degree that it is diff
hcult to get them to growing and thriv
ing as they should.
Generally no care is taken to prevent
the hogs from becoming infected.
One infected hog in the lot will un-
der ordinary conditions, soon infect all
of the hogs in the lot, as the principal
means of spreading the infection is
through the dirt of the feed lot and
by means of surface water that is fire.
quently used for the hogs to drink and
wallow in. The treatment for most of
the intestinal worms is simple and gen
orally very effective, there being
number of remedies available. The
following are among the most common
and effective of the remedies and the
dose given is for each one hundred
pounds of live weight. Fluid extract
of spigelia and SIENNA mixed in equal
parts in half ounce doses twice or three
times a day until purging takes place.
The cedar apple may be ground up
and given in thirty grain doses three
times day for two days and then
followed by physic. A mixture of
powdered Wormseed and areca nut in
teaspoonful doses twice a day is rec
commended Turpentine is probably
the best general remedy to use. Give
two teaspOonsful in milk or small
amount of slOp twice a day for two
days. If number Of pigs are to be
treated they should be divided into
lots of five or ten and then give the
medicine mixed with their feed All
of the remedies should be followed
with a purgative except where the
remedy itself is a physic. For this
purpose give an ounce of castor oil or
linseed oil A mixture of salt and
ashes kept in the lots where the pigs
can get what they will eat of it is
good remedy to use for preventing
intestinal worms.

Dying Trainman Prevents Smashup.

WINsTED, CONN, January 13.-Mi-
chael O. Neil, sof Rhinecliff, N. Y, Cen
trail New England Railroad conductor, who
died in the hospital here tonight, was the
hero of a train collision which occurred
yesterday about midway between Cherry
Brook and Satan's Kingdom.
O'Neil, with Brakeman William Kerri
gan, of New York; Engineer Fred Frank,
of Poughkeepsie, and Fireman A. E.
Myers, of Millbrook, was proceeding
aboard disabled engine in the direction of
Hartford. A driving snowstorm was on
and the engine had only one cylinder work
ing. At sharp curve it was overtaken
by an extra freight train drawn by two
heavy mogul engines going at speed. The
tender of the lone engine was driven in
upon the four men.
Conductor O. Neil and Engineer Frank,
whose right leg had been fearfully crushed,
were thrown to the side of the track. My
ers and Kerrigan were pinned in the cab.
Unframed, the engine ran wild to Collins.
vile junction, distance of about three
miles, where it stopped of its own accord,
the supply of steam having become ex-
hausted. The men then managed to ex-
tricate themselves. Both had been i'm
prisoned in such position that neither
was able to reach the throttle and shut off
steam.
After having been hurled to the ground,
with his leg horribly crushed, Conductor
O. Neil managed to crawl nearly mile in
the direction of Satans Kingdom. He
met John Roman, farmer, whom he be-
sought to get into communication with
railroad station, so that a passenger
train due from Hartford might be warned
by telegraph of the broken down engine
standing on the tracks
Roman telephoned to the station agent
at Collinsville, who warned the passenger
train by telegraph.
The four injured men were attended at
Collinsville and then sent by special train
to the Litchfeld County Hospital at Win
sted
In spite of all that could be done for
him, ONeil, who, in addition to his
crushed leg, had been horribly burned
about the body and injured internally died
at the hospital few hours after he was
brought there.
