The Spanish PAnut.

The Spanish peanut is coming to
the front as a great southern crop.
The demand fbr hay and feed is
greater now than it has ever been
and it seems as if it is a hard matter
to get anything TO surpass the i'm
proved Spanish peanut. 1t grows
well in most any section, yields sat
isfactorily on all soils, and, above
all, it makes an abundance of hay.
Talking with leading scotsman, |
learn that the chances are good seed
will be scarce this year. COnse
quently anyone wishing to secure
some should investigate the matter
and procure supply of seed.
The plant is one of remarkable
value and the demand for it is con-
stantly increasing. The value of the
nuts alone more than pays for the
entire crop, and besides this the hay
yield is worth more than the nut
crop. 1t keeps well in stacks, is
easily harvested and cured and is one
of great value in feeding. Peanuts
are one of the few crops that COM
bine the qualities of raising food for
hogs and cattle at the same time, but
nevertheless there is nothing better
for hogs than peanuts and nothing
better for cattle than hay. Horses
do well on the same ration, too, as
for that .-Times-U Union.

Good Seed.

The quality of the seed we plant is
of more Importance than any other
one item which enters into the cost
of any crop. The cost of this seed is
of small Importance in comparison,
and the difference between the cost
of good seed and of poor seed
amounts to less than nothing when
their relative influence on the final
yield is taken into consideration.
There are, | will venture to say,
few farmers or gardeners who would
venture to dispute this proposition.
Every one admits that he wants good
seed and nearly every one is willing
to pay for them. Poor seed are dear
at any price.
Our experience in purchasing seed
has convinced us that practically all
the seed houses which have built up
a large business have done so by
supplying good seed. They have
used every precaution to see that
these seed are true to name, type,
and will terminate well. Very often
one mans stock will be better and
fresher than another's, it is true, and
for this reason we very often split
our order sending part to one firm
and part to another. When we find
a seedman who supplies especially
good stock of some particular variety
of seed, we continue to purchase that

Inc natlVe COWS or steers resemble
animals of the diary breeds with re-
gard 10 beef production. They lack
the width and thickness of loin, the
round full quarter, and the thick,
Well-covered rib, all of which are so
characteristic of animals bred for
beef. The beef steer makes it's in
crease in weight in these parts that
are valuable for meat. The frame of
the native is small and narrow, and
though when it is fattened it makes
good gain in weight, yet the gain
is made in those parts of the body
that are of little food value, as the fat
around the kidneys and viscera. The
animal that makes the gain in weight
IN the valuable cuts, such as the loin,
quarter, and rib, is naturally the most
profitable.
GRADING-UP NOT DIFFICULT.
The Improvement of cattle by grad
ing-up is not difficult. The one i'm
portant point is the selection of a
good sire. The sire should be pure
bred animal of one of the beef breeds,
and not produced from a cross or
mixture of breeds.
The usual objection is the cost of a
pure bred sire. This may be 500 or
$3.50. True, this does seem a great
price to one who is accustomed to
purchase a native bull for S25.
If farmer has a herd of fifty COWS
the increased value of the first lot of
calves would more than pay for the
pure bred sire. Suppose that the
first lot of calves from the pure bred
sire numbered thirty. At the end of
three years the gain in selling price
over native stock would be more than
$500, or twice the cost of the sire
This leaves out of consideration the
younger calves, and suppose that all
are sold for beef, while IN reality the
heifers would be retained to improve

Southern Water Power.

AS an undeveloped source of wealth
to the Lower South, probably no one
thing equals the power that can be
developed through the Improvement
of the many streams having their
heads in the great Appalachian region
of the Upper South.
With modern methods of trans
mission of power through electricity,
every horse power in this entire sec
ton can and will be utilized. 1t has
been estimated by some that there
are available in the region referred
to $500, 900 horse power. AS yet but
$50, 900 of this enormous power has
been developed, or but one tenth of
the available amount.
The cost of this power is stated to
be less than one half that furnished
from steam, the latter ranging from
$50 to SIS per horse power, while the
electric power generated by the water
power plants can be furnished at $40
to $50 per horse power. Furthermore
there are but few places in the east
ern and central Lower South but
which can and will be served with
this cheap power through modern
electric transmission.
One can hardly realize what such a
vast supply of power meansin the way
of development to the South. The
governor of New Hampshire states
that three fourths of the people of
that state are dependent upon water
power for their living. And much of
the raw material W hich is used and
worked up by those people through
their water power, comes from this
same section of the lower south that
has nine tenths of its power lying
idle.
With saner conditions existing
among our public men and law
makers, there is no reason why this
section should not arrange to utilize
this power in working up its raw
material, thus saving to our own
people the cost of transportation and
middle mems profits that they now
have to pay. But to do this will re-
quire men at the helm who will pro-
mote the development of our re-
sources, instead of as at present
throttling them through unwise and
injudicious legislation.

are maturing is worth more to us
than the seed which we would secure.
We usually save our Okra seed and
our Seven-tOp or Southern Prize tur-
nip seed. Sometimes we save a few
bushels of Valentine bean seed, and
quite often we save enough butter
bean seed for our own use, but this
is about all. AS a rule, we depend
entirely upon the scotsman for our
vegetable seed, as on a truck farm
we have neither the time nor the land
to devote to this work, and we can
purchase better seed than we can
grow. Sometimes | think it is not a
bad plan to let the other fellow make
little money. | believe that if |

Florida Republicans had free for
all fight at ther Statc Convention
held at st Augustine o. The 9th, and
two delegations and two separate set
of party officials were chosen at the
same time and in the same hall. This
is the first convention to elect dele
gates to the National Republican Con-
vention SO it has been looked upon
with more than local interest. Both
factions were headed by prominent
negroes, with following of negroes,
and of whites who are either holding
office or want to. All in all it may
best be described as an unsavoury
rotten negro row for which the Re-
publican party at large if they have
any scruples about decency, must
hide their heads in shame.

self as candidate for the office of

in the next legislature. He publishes
his platform, which is just such a

from an able business man like Mr.

Democracy Definition De-
n1anded.

Throughout the United States, and
especially here in Florida, the press
and people are squabbling as to what
constitutes democratic doctrines, and
as to who are simon pure democrats
From Bryan at the head, to the self
appointed leader of the cross roads,
comes definitions which only add to
the confusion, with the result that
many leaders in this state are de-
handing that a state convention be
held to decide upon the question at
issue.
With Roosevelt claiming and con-
coded as the leader of the Republican
party, the Moses that is leading the
party to the Promised Land, and
Bryan as the leader of the Demo
cratic party claiming that Roosevelt
is but carrying out his his views
which were his individual property,
therefore the shibboleth of the Demo
cratic party, and with each candidate
for National or State offices publish
ing individual platforms that repre-
sent all shades of political ties or
isms colored by personal local vote
catching generalities, it is not to be
wondered at that the average voter
wants to know what the row is about,
and what has become of the Republic
can and Democratic parties.

Improvement of Cattle in Florida.

The report of the commissioner of
agriculture Hon. B. E. McLin.) gives
as the total number of oxen and
stock cattle in Florida on July 1, 1905,
70S, 076, and these cattle were valued
at 81, 789, 1877, which is little over 81
a head. The same report states the
number of pure bred and grade cattle
as follows: Herefords, 33S; Short
horns, 366; Devons, So; Aberdeen
Angus, II; making total of SO4, and
valued at s27 $40, averaging a little
ever S34 a head. These figures do
not include COWS kept for milk, and
so the diary breeds are not reckoned
in.
GAIN BY GRADING-UP CATTLE.
A native 3 year-old steer off grass
weighs about 500 pounds, and would
yield about 240 pounds of dressed
meat, worth cents a pound, making
its value S14.40. A grade 3-year-old
steer weighs about 800 pounds, and
would dress $50 pounds, which at 6
cents a pound is worth S27. Thus
there is a difference in value of about
sl2.6O per head in favor of grade cat
tie at the present local market price
of meat. If we take the eastern
market for a guide we find that the
grade steer commands at least l cent
pound more than the native. At
the price then of cents per pound,
3-year-old grade steer will sell for
more than double the sum that ma
tive would fetch.
COST OF MAINTAINING.
The grade herd will perhaps cost %
per cent more to keep than the ma
tive herd, for range that would sup
port 100 head of native cattle can
only support about seventy-five head
of grade cattle. This is due to the
grade being a larger animal, and
hence requiring more food for main
tanning and building up its body, Just
as large horse requires more food
than apony.
That it costs more to raise a grade
steer is no argument in favor of the
native. There is profit at the
present time in keeping the native,
but there is a larger profit in the
grade. After deducting % per cent
for the greater cost of keeping, the
value of the grade is still nearly
double that of the native.
NEED OF BETTER CATTLE.
One of the best reasons for i'm
proving our cattle is that we might
thus be enabled to produce enough
beef to fully supply our home demand.
By home demand we mean the beef
consumed within the state of Florida.
AS already stated the grade steer
produces nearly double as many
pounds of beef, and beef of better
quality than does the native. If Flor
ida produced all its own meat itself,
this would mean the keeping at home

Makers and Expounders of the Christian
Doctrines Subjected to Merited
Criticism and Rebuke.
(By T. S. Givan.

The Rev. Carter Helm Jones, of Louis
Vile, KY in recent sermon said:
1.-THE resurrection of Christ is the founda-
ton of Christianity, and with the resurrec-
ton of his body Christianity stands or falls
The third article of the Christian religion
says:
Christ did truly rise again from the dead
and took again his body, with all things ap-
pertaining to the perfection of mans nature,
wherewith he assembled into heaven, and
there stitch, until he return to judge all
men, at the last day."
The Catholic not only has to profess
belief in the resurrection of the body, but
that each member eats the same body, blood
and divinity that was born of Mary, as fol-
lows:
is 1t the belief of the church that Jesus
Christ himself the true god is truly, really
and substantially present in the sacrament?
1T is There is no taking him to pieces,
consequently the body, blood, soul and
divinity of Christ the whole and entire god,
is in the sacrament.
is that which they eat in this sacrament
the same body which was born of the bless
ed virgin?
1T is the same body, for Christ never
had but one body"-The Catholic Christian
Instructed, page As.
How the Stories of the Immaculate Concep-
ton and Resurrection Originated.
AT the head of the Greek School of
Church History stands Eusebius, born in
Palestine, 265 A. D., bishop of Cesarea,
usually called the Father of Church History.
The history of Eusebius although impaired
in value by the writer's avowed resolution
to record only what would reflect honor on
the church, is rich in material, the archives
of the empire having been placed at his
command by Constantine, who held him in
peculiar esteem" - Encylo. Brit. Church
History.
And Eusebius says:
I'VE altered and compiled the sacred
books from tn older writings, changing
names and supplying prophecies TO them
to correspond with the archives. The old
records were often obscure to me; what
did not understand l altered to conform to
some of the doctrines. / thought it better
to have uniformity of records through the
empire than to have sects and schisms con-
tending about the nature of the new divin-
ity We wanted the new goldman to become
firmly established in the minds of the peo-
pie as an actual and only personifcation
of the deity. We were obliged to combat
the philosophers of Greece and Rome,
who taught the temperance of the deaa
with spiritual bodies, but the ignorant
masses did not grasp the idea, and we
thought it the best policy to insist upon

of Jesus body, as proof of the dogma. L
put the story in Matthew. l know it seems
ncomprehensible to you, how we could be
honest advocates of Christian morality and
yet try to substantiate our religion by
fraudulent assertions, but we sacrificed our
scruples for the purpose of controlling the
Masses and giving them better interpreted

ment? Pages 1927.
The Makers of the Creed
"Athanasius, born 296 A. d. Bishop of
Alexandria, so signalzed himself as foe
to every kind of heresy that he was chosen
by Alexander to accompany him to the
Council of Nice, 1926. To the perseverance,
subtlety learning and eloquence of Athan-
asius at that council his adroitness in the
management of men and in the statement of
the argument, is principally to be attributed
the momentious result, which declared by
majority of votes, that Arianism was
heresy!"-American Encyclopedia
Athanasius says:
1.-The creed really does not all belong to
me. l attended the secret consultation held
in 315, and listened carefully to the evidence
and arguments. The nature of Jesus was
earnestly debated. At the Council of Nice,
1926, made draft of the article declaring
the equality of the gods. Other articles
were offered by several bishops, among
them Eusebius. Alexander presented my
draft. No ones draft was wholly accepted,
but my strong point of equal gods, as rep
resented in the trinity, was accepted =
Life of Jesus Christ, by NJ Faraday, pages
1879.
All Mankind Must Believe It.
Leo l., the first pope, surnamed The
Great; born 800, A. ID. The claim of the
bishop of Rome to universal dominion over
the Christian church and over the temporal
kingdoms protesting the Catholic faith, goes
back to the days of Leo l., O-461."-John-
sons Encyclopedia.
And Leo says:
I'VE deliberately decided what should be
taught as truth, and what was to be burned as
error. We claimed for the church supreme
control of the world in all that pertained to
spiritual matters. This policy was the car
dinal principle of Catholicism, as we under
stood it, and was the turning point in its
relations with the secular power. l de-
clared this policy to be the true one for the
Church to pursue, to gain complete ascend
ancy over the race" The Christian
Fathers, page ia
All of Leo's successors have maintained
and still maintain that
All mankind must believe whatever the
church decides or sanctions! No other
creeds can rear their heads within her
pale, except to be branded by her loud and
whitening anathemas She will never recog
nize any appeal from her tribunal. Page n,
Authorized Catholic Church History.
The Rev. Thomas A. York, of st. Paul's
Roman Catholic church, Louisville KY. said
in sermon on Christmas day, 1902:

1.-The son of god offered himself to god,

The above quotations show that hundreds
of years after Jesus was dead these men
invented the tales of the immaculate concep-
ton and Resurrection, and then told to
others that Jesus was thus born and thus
resurrected. They first made him" the new
goldman" then an equal god in the trinity,
and finally declared him to be the father
almighty, creator of heaven and earth, the
one, only, true, eternal, whole and entire
god, as handed to us'by Father York, and
as held by all Catholics and Professionals,
which clearly and can only mean that Jesus
