they can be grown to the required age
and fattened for market at less ex-
pense than in any part of the North
or Northwest. Moreover, we can grow
a much larger variety of feed here. It
is true that we miss the valuable blue
grass as pasture feed, but in it's place
we have the Bermuda and the St. Lucie
grasses, which are a good substitute,
while by sowing field or two in the
fall with winter rye or Italian rye grass.
an abundant supply of fresh green pas
ture may be had every day in the year.
AS for fattening feed, farmers in no
other part of the United States can grow
so large a variety. A partial list in
cludes cassava, velvet beans, sweet po-
tatoes, etc., but the standby might we'll
be the same as in the Northern States
field corn. The average yield in this
state is probably under fifteen bushels.
Yet with the use of some commercial
fertilizer, phosphoric acid and potash in
about equal proportions, Ono need to buy
nitrogen if you will grow plenty OF
legumes), wonderful crops may be
grown in Florida.
l have just been reading about some
large corn crops A farmer in North
Carolina grew 226 bushels on one acre
and 2I3 on another. A farmer in Con-
nectlCut grew I26 bushels of shelled corn
on one acre and averaged II8 bushels
from field of twenty acres.
Over 1850 boys in the Southern
States were engaged in a contest to see
who could grow the most corn on one
acre, doing the work according to speci-
f1c instructions from the United States
Department of Agriculture. The best
crop grown in South Carolina was
I52 I-2 bushels on one acre; the best in
Mississippi was I47 bushels: North Car
olina, I37 bushels; Virginia, 122, while
the average for the whole list was
90 bushels per acre, that is over $4,000
boys averaged more than four times as
much corn per acre as the average
Florida farmer. Of course these yields
were not the result of heavy fertiliza-
ton solely; it required careful prepara-
ton of the soil and thorough cultivation
all through the season. "What man
has done, man can do" If you will fol-
low the modern methods it is certain
that you will grow such a crop as will
astonish those who are satisfied with
crops of ten to twenty bushels. A
good crop fed out to stock at home
means good profit on the crop and in
Creasing fertility for the soil if the
legumes and manure are balanced with
potash and phosphate.

DAIRYING.

The paying production of milk is what
determines the value of the dairy COW
and in order to obtain good paying
results, proper care and attention must
be given the COW which supplies the
milk. Cleanliness is perhaps the first
important factor to be considered and
should be considered from all stand
points.
The stables wherein the animals are
housed should be we'll taken care of,
in fact so we'll taken care of that til.

STOCK RAISING PROFITABLE.
The Florida Farmers Most Certain
Hope for Permanent Prosperity.
BY w. C. STEELE.

A very large percentage Of the Agri-
cultural population of Florida is engaged
III what is known as market gardening
or truck farming.
When carried on with a proper re-
gard tor the rules which govern sue
cess, it has proved profitable Yet there
is limit to the quantity which can
find sale at price which will afford
a profit to the grower.
That limit was passed one season a
few years ago in the production of
Irish potatoes Following a very prof.
table season, for potato growers, tn"
next year hundreds of inexperienced
farmers planted large acreages of pota-
toes.
there had been an unusually large
crop of potatoes at the North that sea-
son, so that when the Florida crop was
ready to market the price was SO low
that very few growers cleared anything
above expenses. Many Of those who
shipped got almost nothing in return,
while hundreds Of bushels were nevel
shipped at ALL Of course, many of
these new growers did not plant the
second time, and the growing of Irish
potatoes has been fairly profitable every
year since.
There is, however, one branch of
farming in this State which is not like
ly to be overdone That is stock ralo.
ing-cattle, sheep and hogs. Those who
have to buy meat, Of any kind, know
that the price is very high. Doubtless
many buyers blame spectators and the
trusts for the advance Probably both
are somewhat to blame; prices may be
higher than they should be under the
natural law Of supply and demand. Yet
it is also a fact that there is a real
deficiency both Of beef cattle and hogs.
This shortage may be partially made
up within a year or two, owing to
increased production induced by the
stimulus of high prices. But l do not
believe that the time will ever come
when our meat supply cannot be moro
cheaply grown in Florida than it can
be imported from the Northwest. It
cannot be done, however, by shipping
in all the feed from the Northern States
for fattening the animals.
Farmers who wish to make stock
growing profitable must make their cal
culations to grow their own feed Grain
and forage fed out on the farm will
gradually bring the soil up to a much
higher state of fertility. The stable ma
nure will furnish all the nitrogen needed,
but the two necessary mineral elements,
phosphoric acid and potash must be sup
piled, especially the latter, which is most
always deficient in Florida soils. A
ton of manure balanced with rs pounds
each of muriate of potash and acid phos-
phate will be doubly effective.
Owing to Our mild winters, cattle re-
quire less shelter and less feed is
needed to keep them warm, therefore
