The Blackman Avocado.

One Of the finest specimens of the
avocado ever presented to fruit low
ing public is being shown by E. v.
Blackman, who is the original propa-
gator Of the fruit, and after whom
the department Of agriculture at
Washington has named this paTticu-
lar avocado.
It is called the Blackman and rhe
pulp or fruit is unusually thick and
rich. Mr. B1ackman has one tree of
the. new variety, but of course the
fruit is not yet abundant.
From this tree he will have a large
amount of bud wood next year and
expects to grow his new avocado in
large quantities.
The outside Of the avocado is of a
dark purple, the fruit is large and
heavy and bids fair to become the
favorite in this section, both for it's
lusciousness and its good shipping
qualities.
Mr.. B1ackman is to be heartily con-
graduated on his success in produc-
ing a new VARIETY of Dade county's
great product-Miami Record.

Causes of Indigestion in Calves.

Indigestion may occur from many
causes, as costiveness, a too liberal
supply of milk; too rich milk; the fur
nishing of the milk of COW long
after ca1ving to a very young calf;
allowing the calf to suck the first
milk of cow that has been hunted
driven by road, shipped by rail, or
otherwise violently excited; allowing
the calf too long time between meals.
so that, impelled by hunger, it quickly
over1oads and clogs the stomach
feeding from a pail milk that has been
held over in unwashed (unscalded)
buckets, so that it is fermented and
spoiled: feeding the milk of COWS kept
on unwho1esome food; keeping calves
in cold damp, dark, filthy or bad
smelling pens. The licking Of hair
from themselves or others and its
formation into balls in the stomach
will cause indigestion in the calf

instead of typewriter, and they never
send it back marked illegible, so [
know that if they can read my copy
they can read anything, hence there is
no excuse there. Maybe you will say
you haven't time. Make time then.
Directly some one will write some
thing that you will read and the infor-
nation so gained will save you that
much time every few days. And then,
think there will be one poor fellow who
will be able to profit by what you wrote
and will be helped by it all his life
That will more than repay you for your
effort-that one thought alone that you
have helped some one.
We have many bright, intelligent
men in this state of ours and it seems
strange that we do not see more
original articles from Our own people.
The only way [ can account for it is,
that we get along too easy; that we
become accustomed to taking things
easy, and do not feel like doing any,
thing more than is absolutely neces-
sary I am afraid too many would
rather sit down in their easy chairs and
read what some one else has written
than to write and concentrate their
thoughts for similar period themsel-
YES. Sometimes they will read some
thing that is familiar to them, some
thing that they knew years ago for a
fact, or that it was a good thing, and
they will exclaim, IT knew that years
ago, and supposed every one else did
too," and yet I will venture that did
they really know the few that possibly
were in possession of that particular
bit of wisdom they would be surprised.
Now take this for instance: What a
lot of help you could have been to so
many had you, by a stroke Of the pen,
impaired this information when you
first acquired it. And even now it is
not too late to help out this particular
fact. You can give your endorsement,
and this will add still more weight.
Now, dear readers, it is not too late
to commence your writing. [ will ad-
NIT that it is very difficult to lay down
any set rules that will adapt themselves
and will work in all places in our state,
and that we cannot give positive facts
that will fit all cases, but we can give
s-our~ own Experiences as we find them
at home, and even if they will not fit
our neighbor in the north, south or
west part of the state, still they will
help him, they will put him to thinking,
and very likely he can modify your
methods to fit his circumstances.
Now, Mr. Editor, I have endeavored
to help you out little by setting forth
a few reasons as they occur to my be-
nighted and blurred mind, and I hope
that they may have the desired effect.
And, dear reader, I hope you will
give this your careful consideration,
and that you will give Our paper the
benefit Of your help.

WHY AUSTRALIA WANTS THE
EtEET

Australia has sent an urgent invi-
tntlon to the navy department for the
American feet to visit the Island con .
tlnent on It's way to the Suez, and
the reason for this warm interest
lies deeper than curiosity. hospitality
or national friendship. Writing In an
English magazine an Australian de-
olarcs the entry of tho American
fictt into the Pacific is something for
us more than a stately procession OF
ships" The writer's meaning Is that
crulse an nugury of white domination
in the Pacific. They look to America
TO consummate this goal, which. to
them Is supremely desirable. Natnr-
ally one would expect sea girt Aus
tralia to trust to the mother country,
Great Britain. to protect her against
the yellow menace which she fears
But Britain Is Japan's ally, and Aus
tralia's interests must be subordinat-

Therefore with deep feeling, Aus

Australia is apparently resolute in
her determination to maintain n

tatcd vigorously against the Kanka-
kas. Lately her bette noir" has been

her ally, Great Britain. the Japanese

Is even asserted that In preparation
for ultimate contingencies. she has
made up her mind to withdraw her
contributions toward the maintenance
of the British navy and devote her
powers to her own coast defense by
means of fortiflcatIons mines. torpc

NEGHo CONVENTION TO BE HELD
IN PHILADELPHIA.

la-l I'm Ft1ILROELsPHIR,
A party of leaders of tue blncli race.
including Bishop Walker. has issued
call for negro convention 10 be
held In Philadelphia next April One
of the most noticeable things about
the call. Ia the strong language used,
In 1t Is said that al crisis for one
sighth OF the citizens OF the country"
fmpends as result of the open al
1lanco between the President and The
nullihcrs OF the constitution In the
South Tho treatment of the negro
soldiers involved iii the Brownsville
riot Is denounced rs n denial OF jus
lice and constitutional rights visited
upon colored citizens Unprecedented
in our country" Therefore 1t Is stat
ed that In Wow Of the efforts OF the
present "czarocratic regime TO per-
petuate Itself In power in imperial
\ fashion" the convention is called TO
decide as 10 tho wisest political course
to be pursucd by the negro voters Of
the United States.
OF course there Is no mistaklng who
this statement is aimed at. There
can be no question but that the gun
IS pointed directly toward President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft 1t
was the President who ordered. and
The secrotary who enforced, the de-
cree. against the negro troops, which
vas asserted III the Senate on We'd
3 nABdny. has done more than anything
since tho civil war TO ALLEVIATE the ne
gro vote from the Republican party.
4 though there Is not yet any evidence
4 of the convincing sort that the negro
ms been alienated. 1t Is true that
newspapers IN the North edited by
negroes for negroes claim that in the
coming presidential election the bal
y ance of political power in some OF the
states will be held by the negroes,
3 and that the latter intend to asser.
Themselves If II were fact that the
movement headed by Bishop Walker
Il ard others represented any large
number of negro voters In the North.
It would command the serious atten-
lion Of those who shape the plans of
The Republican party. lat there are
no indications that 1t is causing the
Republican managers any worry. The
reason why they are not worrying ie
simple. 1t can be found in the fac.
that out of every one hundred negro
Iyeters, opposite the name of ninety.
Zine Of them on tho copies of the reg
istration lists. is written the word
.''purchasahlc."
