HeaIthfuIness Of the Country.


"The healthfulness of Florida is
without question If there is any State
that comes near being an all-the-year-
around health resort it is Florida. The
State is already the Winter home Of
thousands of Americans and Canadians,
who go there to escape the hardships
and discomforts of Northern parallels
The clear, sunny days, the luminous
nights. the mild temperature, the inter-
esting forms of vegetation, the good
things to eat, the ease with which one
can breath the scft air, fragrant with
fiowers-these end many other things
allure to the outdoor existence, which
means comfort, health and enjoyment
The common idea is that one should
only go to Florida in the Winter. In my
Judgment from experience one can go
there in any season.
"All kinds of live stock do we'll, poul-
try knows no Winter, and bees can be
kept busy all the year. Agriculture
should become great industry. Pas
ture can be provided in all seasons, pigs
root for themselves. and where they
are given any consideration hog rais-
ing.s as well as raising chickens can be
made very profitable. There are fine
openings for dairymen. A living is 50
easily made that the native population
do not find 1t necessary to overwork.
There Is iistill plenty, of featherad
and four-footed game, the mockfng bird
is the chief .songster, and nowhere is
there better fishing and a greater va
riety of the ifinny tribes. Florida has
the longest line Of seacoast of any of
the States, andIflie abundance of sea-
food-oysters. CLANS, crabs. etc, as well
as edible ann game fish of every sort
is not equaled elsewhere in this coun-
try. No one need fear snakes or alli-
gators. The alligator has been hunted
so persistenfly that Northern visitors
only have aschance to see them from
excursion steamers on rivers where they
are protected from harm. The State
has many navigable rivers and lakes
Indeed, no other State is better favored
in this respect. These lakes and rivers
also abound in fish. and there is scarce
ly County in the State where residents
are not within easy access of fishing
resorts. Osceola County is especially
favored in this regard.
There are no expensive coal bills to
pay In FLORIDA. Wood is used for fuel,
and then mostly for cooking purposes.
For couple of months in the year
wood blaze In an open fireplace is about
all that is needed down in the Kissim-
NEE country TO take little coolness out
of the air. In the shade of tree. porch
or house 1t Is usually comfortable in
Midsummer. l have never known
case of sunstroke.

County flowing wells are found at a
couple of hundred feet. Dug or driven
wells provide water at depth of from
20 to 80 feet The water in artesian
wells has sulphur flavor, but not
strong, as a rule. In wells for domestic
use the water is free from sulphur taste.
81 know the site of your colony very
well, and remember when the Disston
people operated the sugar mill and re-
finery there, for which they grew their
own cane. The soil there is, as a rule,
as good as the best in Florida, and
when the mill was in operation the land
was held by the owners at figures as
high as $500 an acre. This sugar en-
| terprise involved an .penditure of a
couple of million dollars for machinery,
buildings, ETC., but it was started when
| the Sugar Trust was being organized,
| and, being too far from the great dis
tributing trade centers, 1t was squeezed
out.
"In transportation facilities Florida
is now getting into good shape. There
is thru car service to the chief cities of
Florida from Chicago, st. Louis, Louis
vile, Cincinnati. New York, Washing
ton and intermediate points. do not
think any State has better or more ex-
tended railroad service. The State also
has steamship service from ports on the
Gulf as well as the Atlantic. These ports
are nearest to Cuba, Panama and South
america. and in the coming trade with
these countries Florida is going to be
strictly in it. There is steamship SER
vice from Florida ports to North At
lantic cities, and this keeps down rail-
road rates not possible in the country
west of the Mississippi.
II do not see why most prosperous
community cannot be built up at st.
Cloud. The surroundings are attrac-
tive, the land is productive, the climate
healthful and genial, there is plenty of
good water, the transportation facilities
are ample, and the Northern markets
need the products that can be grown.
The comrades can live there as they
people suffering from rheumatism and
throat and lung ailments get quick re-
lief.
ALLOW me to suggest that those who |
go, and / hope very many may avail |
themselves of the chance, will adapt |
themselves to conditions there, in meth I
oos of cultivating the land and ways |
of living, and if they do there can be |
no doubt about their making a living |
and prolOnging their lives. OF course, I |
know that most of the comrades are |
getting along in years and are not anx-
ious to do much work, but this is not |
necessary. A small tract of land in
fruit or nut trees and berry bushes will /
not require eXhausting labor to keep
up. nor will it be hard to work garden
which can be made to supply the table
with something good every day in the
year. / see possibilities in canning and /
drying fruit and vegetables and in the
development of great variety OF small
and large industries. Altogether The
National Tribune colony should prove
O. great success for the old boys"
