SLIGHT WRECK ON SEABOARD.
Car Loaded With Household Goods
Caused The Trouble.

Last Friday morning shortly before S
O'Clock, as northbound through freight
No. had entered the yard limits, a
brake beam dropped down in front of
one of the hindmost cars. After slash
ing around awhile it was run over by
the wheels, which gave the truck such a
shock that the king pin broke and the
truck slid backward, tearing away the
air cylinder and knocking away the
rear truck. This caused the front end
of the Car to fall down on the rails and
the rear end to jump up in the lap, so to
speak, of the fiat car behind, which was
loaded with cypress plank. The body
of the car slid along smoothly on the
rails, but the fanny draw-head beneath
it tore up the track at fearful rate un-
til the train stopped opposite the Fair
view hotel.
The body of the car was not hurt at
all and it was the most decorous, self
respecting wreck ever seen. By turning
the car over into the ditch things could
be set right in half an hour, but it held
valuable freight and it was considered
best to replace the front truck so that
the car could be put upon a side track,
which was done, after delaying the
north bound passenger train, due here
at 9:I0, for awhile.

GOOD RESULTS fROH DRAINAGE.
lowering Of Ealsr Shows Elects For
LennpIsiasces.

For years it hi been noticed in the
section around Stsrke that, first, after q
long dry spell it, lakes much more rain
wSter to sAtuR#e the ground than
formerly; seoons that all crops can
stand . longer 3rorth than formerly,
and, third, thss the ground dries up
much sooner AEer g long rainy spell
than it Did years go.
These benefits u I'VE partly come from
the improved loci drainage, bat there
is another factor shat has much to do
with it. The E4enomena mentioned
began first to be observed about 1895,
and many thought that the Charles
ton earthquake 1885 had caused o
lot OF cracks In tSe clay and hArdpan
which Observation-Disclosures. But
there Is snotheTIIand more plausible
reason. In 1890 e Florida Muck Land
Co., by canAlizrk part Of Sampson
river and the crssk between SampSou
and RoWen lakes and connecting Cros-
by and Sampson hskes with capscious
ditch, lowered theisuIface of the lakes
from three feet In She rainy season to
seven feet duriuSt dry weather. This
gave the Alligator creek and its tribu-
taries an increased fsn, enabling them
TO carry away mArf water IL q given
time than before, SAd, by the way, were
1t not for this cirf9nstauce, StsIke and
the surrounding 81 ion would be much
worse off during tn rainy season than
they are. VI
Lowering the sI31bce of the lSkes also
lowered the gronDd water, and its in
creased fall enabkd it TO enlarge and
EXTEND more aud Snpre each year, the
little veins running through the imper-
vious clay and hasapan. This allowed
air to get into the snbsOil and improving
it. so that the rCetS Of plants can 20
down deep wher3 :they always find
moisture, and thusys is that crops now
stand drouth better chan formerly.
BY deepening tho Alligator creek and
its tributaries we would deepen and ex-
tend the underdrAbage and improve
the surface drainage until the soil be-
came warm" elaIagh to grow for
profitable shipment Vegetables that are
now grown only fog 4amily use, and i'm.
prove the staple drops. Whenever
there is opportunity the roots of almost
all our crops will go down from 8 to 10
feet for food and moisture and the
deeper the soil the closer the planting
may be done, thus fuSreasing the yield.
The most prohtablsA all crops, alfalfa,
better. There 10 is factor that fuf,u-
ences our particuI& soil % much an
drainage. Given BOD drainage, the soil
can easily be madeanh productive an che
best and win yield tAundantly al pro-
ducts suitable to thu aatitude.

Saturday was an interesting day for
prohibition in the hospitable little city
Of Hampton. A sumptuous dinner, for
ceful speaking and the organization of a
temperance union were features Of q
pleasant day.
At IL o'clock goodly number of peo-
pie gathered at the Methodist church
: and listened to al eloquent sermon by
Rev. 7. j. Nixon, presiding elder of the
Ocala district, which was the opening
Of the third quarterly conference, and
which covered three days. At the oon-
clusion of the services a dinner was
spread under the large oaks in front of
the church, and all present were bounti-
fully served by the Methodist ladies,
who not only proved gracious hostesses,
but excellent cooks as we'll
At 80 the business session of the con-
ference was held in the Methodist church
while at the same hour the ladies assem-
bled at the Baptist church and organized

for statewide prohibition.
Rev. @. O. Cecil, of Tennessee, ad-
dressed the people on prohibition at the
Methodist church and at $3.50 the crowd
repaired to the hotel and street, where
prohibition songs and speeches we're in

Last Saturday morning fifteen men,

Killed Eleven Snakes.

The Telegraph has of late contained
some interesting snake stories, but what
we will relate fellow tops them all and
the truth of the occurrence is vOuched
for by Rev. f. B. Johns, of Starke, who
saw the snakes after they hal been
killed.
James Hill, who lives near Pleasant
Grove church, Alachus county, was
driving toward Santa Fe station last
Saturday afternoon, when he saw the
trail of q very large snake in the sand
on the road. He had no time to stop
and investigate, but the following
morning he went to the snake trail and
followed it up.
Having gone some distance from the
road he saw what looked like half a
hushel of rattlesnakes coiled up on the
! ground, and Is he stood looking at them
they crawled down into a gopher hole.
He hurriedly went home for spade and
gun and fastened back, accompanied
by his sons. They began digging and
soon unearthed the snakes, which were
killed with the spade or the gun as they
made their appearance. When the last
one had been unesrthed the rattlers
Rere counted and there were eleven Of
them, two largo and nine small ones.
The rattles of the largest snake had
been. shot away, bat the next largest
sportea nine rattles. The lengths OF
fbe snakes were not taken. but it is safe
t6ssy that the combined length, 'of al
the snakes was not less than thirty feet.

hay and HAYKAKING.
Press Bulletin 1853 of Florida AgrICUI.
tural Experiment Station.

This crop has been among those of
the tirsStimport&nce in the United
States. In Florida, however, it has
never been given the attention it de-
serves. This is not because we do not
have the proper plants for producing q
Large amount Of hay, but rather that
our livestock have been able to exist
without hay being fed to them.
The hay crop Of Florida, however, is
becoming more important with each
succeeding year. During this summer
we should give special attention to pro-
ducing as much hay as is possible. A
large portion of the North and West has
either borne small hay crop, or the
hay crop has been practically failure.
Consequently. under normal conditions,
the hay from the West will be much
higher priced than heretofore. Every
farmer in the State of Florida should
see to 1t that he saves as much hay as he
can. If he has to buy, he will find that
1t is high priced, therefore he should
rather have some to sell.
The average hay production of Flor
ida, according to the census for the year
1909, was about one-half ton per farm.
This production is altogether too small,
since there is scarcely a farmer in the
State of Florida but could save at least
several tons. There are in the State at
the present time a number of orange
growers who, in place of moving off
their grass and allowing it to rot IN the
field, make it into hay and thereby de.
rive nice revenue from a by-product
In fact, in some cases the hay has yield
ed better profit than the citrus fruit
from the same area.

COTTON GINS DESTROYED BY FIRE.
J. l. Matthews Suffered Heavy Loss
Last SATURDAY..

News was received in the city Satur-
day of the total destruction of the large
cotton warehouse and cotton gins owned
and operated by Mr.. ]. L. Matthew'S, of
Bland, which occurred at an early hour
Saturday morning, presumably of incen-
diary origin.
The Bland ginnery was considered one
Of the most up-to-date and modern in
AlAchua county. The loss will total
several thousand dollars with no insur.
snce. Considerable seed cotton was
stored in the gin and was consumed.

endeavor to rebuild and install a new
plant in time to secure . part Of this

HAYMAKING.
There is quite as much of a knack in
making, hay as there is in producing any
other farm crop. 1t should be mown
before the stalks become tough and be-
fore the seed has matured. The legum-
inous plants, such as the beggarweed,
cowpea, velvet bean and peanut, should
be dried very quickly. 1t is best to
NOW i'll the afternoon, thus allowing the
leaves to wilt slightly before night.
Then during dry weather the hay will
be in fair condition, ordinarily, to be
placed under shelter before the next
night. If cowpeRs and beggarwead are
mown in the morning and nearly dried,
the leaves are likely to shat:er badly be-
fore the crop is entirely dry, thus losing
the most nutritious portion of the hay.
Velvet beans, rs rule, cannot be easily
mCwn without 4 special attachment to
TIC MOWGI, anu III VIC InOSb DATG are
used as field fcrLge. Peanut hay is
usually made with the nuts attached.
though in some instances it is made
without the nuts. Mexican clover,
crowfoot grass, millet and crab grass
may be mOwn almost any time of the
day, but preferably during the after
noon, and allowed to wilt and partially
dry before night. If completely dried
before night and heavy dews occur, the
hay rs likely to bleach out considerably
and not be as bright and palatable as it
otherwise would.
Mexican clover Is not a legume. This
will be apparent at once from the above
table, which shows that it is rather low
in protein. Though it is low in nutri.
tive elements, il is one Of the most pal.
atsble hays. For the western and
northern parts of Florida it makes one
Of the best hay crops that we have.
The yield is large. and the entire mate
rial is consumed by the animals.

their home August 13. Lest these
were not enough thirteens, Tuesday,
