see man In a silk hat carrying an
nfant child? Never, venture to
say.
You do see plenty of fatheFs. young
fathers. mostly. carrying their babies,
and very willing to carry them, indeed
proud of their offspring; but you never
see such father In a tall hat. They
may wear forty-leyen other kinds OF
hats-derbies. soft hats. straw hats, or
as many kinds of caps; but no father
carrying an infant ever wears a silk
hat.
"Of course there can't be any fash
ion decree about this. Refraining from
wearing silk hat on such occasions
must be due just to instructive com.
mon sense; the baby is an extremely
informal thing, liable to scream or cry
or wriggle or squirm at any minute,
to bear itself in many ways in man
ner quite incompatible with high hat
dignity; and even young fathers seem
to know this, and so they leave their
tiles on the shelf at home

seem to know what is fitting instinct

hat carrying a baby"

One OF the most remarkable menus
ever drawn up must have been that
OF the feast in Paris to which Benia.

quet was made OF potatoes, and even
the brandy and liquors were the prod
uct OF the same vegetable. This was
Parmentiers final proof to his skep-
tical fellow countrymen that potatoes
we're not poison, as they persisted in
believing. Louis XVI himself was
one OF Parmentier's earliest converts,
granted him land on which to grow
his plants and did not disdain to wear
the potato flower as buttonhole.
Then Parmentier cleverly posted
guards round his potato fields by day
and withdrew them by night. so that
people were tempted to come then,
steal, eat and be convinced. The all
potato banquet was the climax Of the
great campaign.

ART IN OLD ENGLISH HOUSES
Beautiful Carving and PaneIine That
Had Long Been Concealed
is Discovered.

When a low range of buildings at
Little Horkesley. Essex, England
which for century and half had
been let in five separate tenements,
came into the market and was bought
by an owner who, having an eye for
things old and curious. had the walls
stripped, surprising discoveries were
made 1t was found that all five we're
really parts of one old Tudor house
Behind the whitewash and plaster
and common wall paper were brought
to light beautiful carving and panel
ing Of the Tudor period. The doors
were found to be of oak heavily stud
ded with nails.
During the last summer the village
church at Doddington, Kent under
went that process known as "restora'
tion," which in too many cases has
spelled destruction, and in the course
of the work the removal Of a quantity
Of plaster led to the discovery Of an
unexpected lancet window of the thir-
teenth century, which had been
blocked up for many generations.
The splays were well preserved,
and the discoverers were rewarded
not only by finding the arch of the
lancet beautifully decorated with stars
and roses. all in excellent preserva-
ton, but by the revealing on one Of
the spiays of a noble figure of monk,
nearly seven feet high, portrayed in
the act of giving the benediction.

THE gold brick swindle was
worked last week on a wealthy
land and grain man of Amenla.
N. D., and the victim, whose
name was H. F. Chaffee, handed
over $4,000 of good money for
what proved to be a lot of brass.
These swindles have been ex
posed time and again, and it
shakes a mans faith IN the com
mon sense of humanity to know
that there are always new vic
tins for this old trap, and that a
business man, heavily interested
ia the grain trade, and the pres
ident of a land company, could
be taken in as this man was by a
smooth talker with a get-rich
scheme. It's a question if sucha
man does not deserve to lose his
money if the scheme was, as
most of them are, a proposed
fraud upon other persons or
upon the government.

State. Make liberal allowance for
these statements, and do not come
here inexperienced, unfamiliar with
the climate, soil and other condi-
tions peculiar to Florida, and expect
to make $500 to $1,000 per acre
year in and year out. These large
sums are often realized, and even
exceeded under favorable conditions,
but cannot be counted upon with
certainty every year.
Again, do not buy home site

you are offered with other land sim
ilarly situated. Often times one can
buy an improved or partially i'm
proved place for very little if any
more than some of the colonization

is the head, we are no less grateful
that the Agriculturist is thus recog-
nized for the disseminating Of this in
formation.
With the above and the large num-
Der of practical writer's from vari-
Gus sections Of the State who will
contribute regularly to it's columns,
we feel sure that the Agriculturist
for 1910 will rank with the best agri-
cultural and horticultural publica-
tions in the United States, and be
worthy of the support of every per-
son who is in any way interested in
Florida.

County Experiment Farms.

Every county in Florida should
demonstrate the agricultural posi-
bilities of the county, not only to
homeseekers and strangers but to
home people as we'll. Such farm
should contain 80 acres, or more,
equipped with modern implements
and conveniences, model house,
barn, water supply, etc., and should
be typical of the county in which it
is located, and the stock raised and
crops grown should be representa-
tive of the highest development pos
sible by the county which it repre-
sents.
This farm should be operated un-
der the general direction of the
Board Of County Commissioners, by
q practical, well-educated, up-to-
ing not only the possibilities of
such county, but the best and most
economical methods of producing
the crops grown.
This farm should be in a conve-
nient location, SO as to be easily
accessible and should be made one
Of the 'show places" Of the county
for strangers and place where ev-
cry farmer could go and spend a
day Or more every season posting
himself on crops, methods and ev-
erything pertaining to agriculture.
Such farm would be both helpful
to the citizens and great aid in the
settlement and improvement of the
unoccupied land in the county.

Mr.. Ward has been raising poultry
in Florida for the past six years. and

OF Single Comb Rhode Island Reds
has made a big success.
He plans to give our readers from
month to month a series of practical
articles on successful poultry raising.

to-date magazines.
We are also pleased to announce
that Prof. John M. Scott, Animal In
dustrialist Of the Florida Experiment
Station, will in future have charge of
the Live Stock pages Of the Agri-
culturist.
Another gratifying piece Of in
formation is that Prof. B. f. Floyd,
Plant Psychologist Of the Experiment
Station, will have a regular depart
ment in the Agriculturist.
Mr.. John Belling will continue his
monthly review Of the work and
other interesting matters connected
with the Experiment Station, and we
have the promise from time to time
OF special articles from other attaches
Of this institution.
1t affords us more than ordinary
pleasure to make this announcement,
for these men are all specialists in
their lines Of work, and their state
ments carry with them the weight Of
authority.
In this connection we feel that we
ought to express our appreciation of
Prof. Rolls willingness for his eff
c1ent assistants to render us this
