"The Girl From Out Yonder."

One of the sweetest and most charm- ing women of the American stage, Ade- laide Thurston, comes to the Jefferson theatre next Wednesday, matinee and night, in the strongest part she has ever attempted. tThe Girl From Out Yon- der" is the name of the play, and it is said to be full of comedy, pathos and powerful dramatic interest. The play was written by Pauline Phelps and Ma rion Short and when seen here last sea- son every one said that it afforded Miss Thurston the greatest scope for her tal- ents she had ever had, as it called for many of the qualities she displayed in her portrayal of Lady Babbie" in 'The Little Minister"

Pension Roll is Decreasing

That the relentless scythe OF Father
Time is playing havoc in the already
thin and serried ranks of the old Con
federate heroes of Florida is sadly evil
dent to those who read the newspapers
containing notices almost daily OF the
passing of some old wet" but the
rapidity with which they are passing is
ever more evident by a statement pub
lished from Miss Jefferson Bell, a
talanted newspaper writer, who is en-
ployed in the pension department of the
State
The pension rolls, according to Miss
Bell, not long ago contained total of
200 names. Deaths in recent months,
however, have cut the number down to
6,706, total of 500 old wearers of the
gray having crossed the river and are
now resting under the shade of the
trees" with Sseuewall Jackson. Each
day the number is lessv-itg, and not

tonseed hulls, gained nearly 100 pounds
more than did any Of the other lots of
steers, and 36i pounds more than did
the steers, in Lot w, which were fed
cottonseed meal and cottonseed hulls.
The results Of this experiment indicate
clearly that the farmers of the State
have feeds at their command which will
produce beef at reasonable cost. There
are thousands of acres Of land thrown
out of cultivation each year, and allowed
to grow up to weeds. This neglected
land would raise good crop of velvet
beans, upon which thousands Of cattle
could be fattened each winter. We
would thus not only make profit on
the beef produced, but would also in
crease the fertility OF the land by grow
ing the velvet beans; for the amount OF
its different fertilizer elements lost to
the farm by selling fatted stock is far
less than that lost to the farm when we
sell the crops Of feed and forage. John

rhe Demoer.tIc outlook Is erlIian,.

Washington, D, c., Sept. rs, 1908.
The New York Herald which possesses a
skill and accuracy seldom equaled in
feeling the political pulse, is sstonished
at the result of its recent investigation.
About the first of September, they esti-
mated that Mr.. Taft had 206 sure cleo
torial votes and that Mr.. Bryan only had
16l sure votes Of the 242 necessary to
elect. In recent issue of that paper
they declared that Ohio. North Dakota,
Kansas and Oregon which they had
PLACED in the sure Republican column
rnRr. be taken agt and placed in the
doubtful column with strong, Democratic
leanings. The New York Herald dur
ing the last twenty-cight years has been
an unerring political prophet and while
il Is an independent paper, the forecast
that they make, shows that Bryan's cleo
ton IS now almost certain. This discov-
ely was great puzzle TO the Herald at
the outset but they have now discovered
the secret. 1t is Rooseyelt's despotical
dictation to The Reph'ican leaders that
has resulted in a feeling Of disgust and
apathy not equaled in Harrison's over
whelming defeat Ia 1892. All the lead

Want to Come Here.

A gentleman prominent in business
CIRCLES in Fort Myers, informs The Press
that he is in receipt of letter from a
prominent business man in Arcadia,
who writes that he wishes to locate a
large saw mill in Lee County on the
Caloosahatchee. and inquiries as to the
depth Of water he can obtain In getting
his products ont OF here in shipping to
western markets.
He states that he has monied men
behind him, and has the timber lands
up the river, and will develop them If
lie can get suitable water transportation.
The capacity of.the mill he wishes to put
in will be about 100000 feet per day.
This is enormous, but capital can do this
as well in Lee as in any other country in
the state.
1t begins to look as though the move
mcnt Of the Board OF Grade to get deep
water from Fort Myers to the Gulf is
already bearing fruit. We should lend
this man all the encouragement possible,
and it is quite certain we.tsn land him,
If we can furnish The transportation.
This is a strong pint that should be
sent IN to the board OF government engi-
neers. IT. Myers Press.

OBJECT or rHR RxpERIMRNr.

The object of the feeding experiment
was to test some Of orr Florida feed
stufs for beef production; that is, to
find out which feeds, or combinations Of
feeds, would give the best results; in
other words, which feeds would produce
beef at he least cost per pound. Infor-
nation was also wanted as to the length
Of time it required to fatten cattle for
the market.
The champion. (Arcadia, Fla.) 1895-1911, 1908-10-01
WHAT FERps wERE usln,

All feeds used in this experiment are
already grown, or can be grown, in the
State 1t was thought best to use these,
since we can grow them much cheaper
than they can be bought on the market.
The steers in Lot we're fed corn,
cottonseed meal, and crab-grass hay; in
Lot III, corn, cottonseed meal, sillage,
and cottonseed bulls; in Lot III, corn,
velvet beans in the pod, and cottonsee(
hulls; In Lot Nv, cottonseed meal, an(
cottonseed bulls. The nutritjve ratio
for each lot of steers was about par,
protein to s parts Of carbohydrate, viii
the exception of the steers in Lot Nv,
which had ratio Of part protein to 4.s
parts of carbohydrate. BY nutrltivs
ratio is meant the proportion Of protein
(bone and muscie-producing material)
to carbohydrates (fat-producing ma
terials).
The ratio OF to as was adopted for
Lot Nv, because II Is the one usually
found when cattle are fattened on cotton
seed meal and bulls. These two ma
terials cannot be fed in such proportions
as to give balanced ration.
The champion. (Arcadia, Fla.) 1895-1911, 1908-10-01

The gains made by each lot OF steers
were quite satisfactory, with the excep-
ton Of the steers in Lot ~ which were
fed cottonSeed meal aud cottonseed
bulls. The average daily gains per head
for the different lots of steers were as
follows: Lot |, 2.sS pounds; Lot II,
2.6S pounds; Lot III, 2.o2 pounds; Lot
Nv, 1874 pounds. The average daily
gains per head of the steers in Lots /
and II were nearly equal; but in COM
pairing the average daily gains made by
the steers in Lots III and Nv, we find
that those In Lot III gained about 81
per cent more each day than did the
steers IN Lot Nv; and the steers in Lot I
gained 40 per cent. more per day than
did the steers in Lot w.
The following table shows the weights
Of each lot Of steers at the beginning
aud at the close Of the feeding expert
ment, and the total gains:
