tions arising in the mind of man
who contemplates making Florida his
home.
This great book is very expensive,
and it is filled with absolute proof that
tells story which no man can deny,
and it tells it in the language of COM
mon sense.
In an interview with Mr. Sieg re-
Gently. he made the prediction that
every acre of Burbank.Ocala Colony
would be sold before farmers in the
north were enabled to start blowing.
This means that many thousands Of
acres must be sold each and every
week, and that hundreds of settlers
are buying this land every day.
The Office Of the Burbank-Ocala Col
ony is located at the city of Ocala, in
Marion County, is filled with settlers
and prospective settlers to this col
ony, and the best part of it all is that
these settlers are satisfied Many of
them are sent to Burbank-Ocala for
the purpose of Investigating and max
ing sure, not only for. themselves, but
for their friends, relatives and neigh.
bors. and most Of these men buy i'm
mediately after seeing this land for
many people.
To give one some idea of the value
of this property, and how firmly con-
WINGED the Company is that it will
stand any investigation. the Board of
Directors of the New South Farm &
Home Company have authorized Chas.
Fl. Sieg to sell this colony land upon
the strict guarantee that if it is not
satisfactory to the purchaser. he may
ask for and receive back every cent
he has paid, together with SO inter
est any time before the actual deliv-
cry of the deed.
This land is selling at the price OF
$500 per acre, upon the terms Of
so cents per acre down. and so cents
per acre per month until the land is
paid for, thus giving every purchaser
40 months after his application has
been received to complete his pay
ments, while he can move on and take
possession OF his farm after a single
payment OF only SO cents per acre.

Uncle Billy meekly obeyed. He sat
patiently through the lecture. which
was both interesting and profitable.
AT the close Of his discourse the re-

LESSONS FROM

ny JAMES r. KELLEY. J


For a time after our oleomargarinc
law was passed the manufacture Of
this product fell off considerably, but
1t is gradually increasing again, and
an increase may be looked for every
year.
This is due to two points upon
which the dairy interests are particu-
'larly lame. One is not paying more
attention to the quality of their prod
,uct and the other is they don't try
hard enough to sell it, The cleo
dealers put up their products in at
;tractive packages and they adyer-
tise it.
Dairymen have the most effective
weapons within their own hands to
fight oleomargarine-that is the quail
lily of their product.
In the matter of pushing the sale of
butter no effort in particular was made
up to within the past few years. But
recently many dealers have been put
ting it up in neat and convenient and
attractive packages. and they have
also done considerable advertising.
We often see these signs on large

and second because time is saved by

a writer in Baltimore American. An
other advantage is that the distant
fields can be reached and fertilized
without the danger of ruts. which FREE
quently form when fields are soft in

Is far more interesting and of greater
import than any movement towards
land heretofore recorded in this coun.
try. The primal influence of this
great movement Is Charles FL Sieg
and the organization which he has
promulgated.
This man is the pioneer of Florida
; In the matter of placing northern men
and women upon Florida farms. Less
than one year ago Charles II. Sieg or
ganized his first colony, which was To-
Gated in St. Johns Park, Florida
Livery acre of the 10000 comprising
this colony was sold within 80 days
The demand was so great that Mr.
Sieg secured another tract of land,
amounting to some $4,000 acres. at
Jacksonville Heights, and this in turn
was sold out with the rapidity OF the
F. first colony.
:. Today at these two great colonies,
st. Johns Park and Jacksonville
Heights. are to be seen many beauti-
full cottages; hundreds of farms are
being worked; settlers are. thoroughly
satisfied; land values have arisen
1909. and many Of those settlers who
bought land. and have not, even i'm
proved A, as yet, are actually refusing

money they paid for their homes.

his greatest and his best Florida farm
/. community. After careful scrutiny
Of all Florida lands. he decided that
(, Marion County, north of the County
Seat. Ocala held the greatest promise
for his ideals, and he purchased a
large tract of land here.

the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad; on
the other. the Seaboard Air Line; and
through the heart of It travels the

One Of the most tremendous land
movements ever seen in America is
progressing at the present time to-
wards Burbank-Ocala Colony, in
Marion County. Florida. One simply
cannot comprehend what it means to
see a thousand people purchasing
farms in just few days. One has
no idea of country that one month
contains mo habitations. and the next
thirty days is dotted over with cot
tages: is throbbing and active with
life and movement, and is the center
OF improvement that equals, If not sur
passes, those great days of the far
west when whole counties were peo-
pied over night

bill boards throughout the cities and
many small fancy signs are displayed
In store windows. This is a move In
the right direction and should be con-
tinued and extended.
The situation might be summed up
by saying that there is not enough
cooperation among the producers and
manufacturers of butter to advertise
and push the sale OF it after the quail
ity has been brought up to an ideal
standard.

Cost Of Feeding Chicks.

According to the New York agricul-
tural experiment station, the cost of
food per chick. to weigh one pound, on
ground grain, is three cents; ON whole
grain 3 40 cents, says Profitable
Poultry. After making repeated tests
in feeding, this station, says the
ground ration proved considerably
more profitable than the whole grain
ration with the growing chicks, and
the same is true of capons of equal
weight from these chicks, and from
others OF equal weight and age, fed
alike before caponizing. No differ
ence was noticed in health or vigor of
chicks or capons fed either ration.

In case the apples should freeze IL

thaw out slowly. and must not be
touched while they are frozen, or they
will quickly decay. To prevent freeu

should be placed in the room. This
water will keep the temperature above
the freezing point. and is much pre-:
ferable to placing a fire of Goals in
