 St. Augustine, Fla. Oct. 1S-It is impossible to estimate the number of dead down the coast during the storm ing with fearful velocity A large part of the business section Of this city is under water. The storm tide is the highest in Is years.
 All night long the hurricane drove the waves over the sea, wall and to- day the lower part of the city is flooded. Heavy damag ge has been done to property and shipping. Miles of track has been carried away. Heavy damage is reported from Titusvi11e. It is believed there has been considerable loss of life.
 Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 1s-with all wires down south of Titusville, and a terrific hurricane sweeping both the east and west coasts, grave fears are entertained for the citizens of the Florida and gulf towns.
 Reports from Key West say that that city was being swept by one of the worst storms in the history of the gulf coast. The. loss of life and damage to property is entirely prob lematicals
 Reports indicate that the big hotels at Palm Beach and all other coast re- sorts have been badly damaged by the storm now sweeping from the Keys all the way to St. Augustine, which is partia1ly flooded. Thes sea- sen is not open at Palm Beach, but many employees are there and the year round residents undoubtedly have suf- f'1e severely.
 All efforts to reach Tampa by wire or wireless early today were futile and reports indicate that the wind is blowing 80 miles an hour over that vicinity.
 The storm center is thought to be moving toward this city and prepara- tions are being made to protect prop erty and lives.
 There is danger of heavy damage to all interior towns but the worst is felt for Key West, Miami and Tampa. Friends and relatives of persons in those cities have failed to obtain word from them and the uncertainty in creased the apprehension.
 A work train is known to have been swept away with a section of track off the East Coast Railroad near Mi ami, and 1t is reported that a score

 The last despatches from Tampa sald that 46 members of the Plant City Artillery were marooned on Egg mont Key and that. fifty persons were at Passe-A-Gri1le, a resort. Both Bay, where the full fury of the storm broke Even if many of them have not been lost, all must be in peril.
 The lumber schooner Brazos, from men is reported to have met the hur- ricane and it is believed to have been lost.
 No news has been received by of fics of the East Coast Railroad here but grave fears are expressed for the extension built lover the sea- to Knights Key.
 Washington, Oct 1S-with wires out of commission in Florida, the weather bureau today '1ost'' the hurricane which is sweeping that state but es- tirnated that the storm center was southwest of Jacksonville. The baro- meter is falling all along the Atlantic coast with fresh winds reported.
 storm signals have been set as far north as the Delaware Breakwater and hurricane signals as far as North Carolina. The officials here fear that heavy damage has been done in south ern Florida.
 Havana. Cuba, Oct. 1S-With a large number, estimated at more than 100, already dead, and with a property loss believed to amount to millions of dollars from the two terrific hur- ricane that have. swept Cuba in the past week, a third hurricane. of equal intensity to the first two, is said tt be forming south of Jsmaica.

Shipping all along the coast has suf- fered terribly and it is feared that. many lives have been lost as the re- suit of shipwrecks. Several towns have been reported as being almost wiped off the map with heavy loss of life.
 Two big steamships are overdue in Havana harbor and, although they may have preferred the open sea in the gale. alarm is beginning to man ifest itself for their safety.
 The damage in the city of Havana alone will amount to several million dollars.

WANTED TO BE RUN OVER.

fI went to sleep there because I never, never wanted to wake up' was the explanation vouchsafed by an un- known man, looking much the worse for wear whom railroad men aboard the 7 o'clock Waterbury train out of this city, found lying beside the rails after the train had just grazed his skull.
 The stranger was badly intoxicated. He said he had gone to sleep with his head over the rails and must have rolled out of danger His hat was smashed by the locomotive.

Why the Boys Beat the Men Raising
Corn.

V-1JI HY is 1T THAT the boys who Join the corn
MAXI clubs make such large yields while the
GO average corn yields of the South remaI, so
low? No doubt these boys have the advantage of
good land. but they beat the men on the same
sort OF land.
The answer TO the question Is not hard TO find
These boys employ modern ideas, up-to-date In
formation, and approved methods OF cultivation
They know nothing of corn growing to begin with
and know that they do not. Many OF the men know
nothing or corn growing, but don't know IT, The
boys have nothing to unlearn and all To learn
Ihey go about their tasks ready to learn and read
and study the literature of the question with
minds open to instruction. In short they learn
and practice modern. scientific methods OF corn
growing, and consequently succeed The men
must follow the same course 10 produce large
yields
The fact that these boys are more open 10 In
struction that they learn more readily because OF
no pre)udices to overcome and no long-formed
habits TO change, brings home TO us the i'm
portance or agricultural instruction in the rural
SCHOOLS To fit the teaching OF our schools 10 the
HE OF the pupils is necessary before the GOSPEL OF
eood FARMING can reach the hearts OF all the neo
pie. When will our rural school authorities wa Ia
up 10 this TACT and attain the courage to act?

That Puny Boy or Girl.

=, OUR Two-Minute Health Talk this week
M we are republishing the article setting
forth the symptoms of hookworm disease
or ground itch anemia The hookworm usually
enters the body through the sole of the foot and
now that barefoot-time is here again. there will.
doubtless, be thousands and thousands of new
cases in our territory in addition to the thousands
of already existing.
Look over the list OF symptoms of hookworm
disease. and II you have a child, or If tenant or
neighbor has child. who is lacking in vigor.
sallow or understood, see If he or she does not
probably need the cheap and simple treatment
which may quickly bring back health and the Joy
of living.
For generations children in the South have suf-
fered and died from this hookworm disease or
anemia because the true cause was not known,
and the child treated for malaria. else sim
ply regarded "puny' or "runty," and left un-
treated. Now the cause of the trouble IL known.
a cure may be easily effected. and the father or
mother who neglects to apply the remedy aims
against Heaven and against the future of the
child. To let boy or girl NOPE along and poa-
sibly die because the parents arc SO ignorant or
conceited to think they know more than the
doctors about the existence OF hookwoTm. Is trag-
edy deep enough for tears and folly deep enough
for anger.
Even II 1t were only matter of getting better
work and better study from your child there
would be abundant reason for giving tho treat
ment. for IT Ia the testimony of Or. John A. Fer
rell that "a child viii assimiiatc IS 10 SO per cent
more knowledge. In school. and in the factory do
20 to 10 per eerI more work after being cured
than when the disease exists" And of course. a

once to his Congressman and Senators and ask
them these three questions: do you favor par
cells post? If you do not, why? If you do, what
have the letters you get, too, or copies of them.
Let's get down to business, friends, and see that
a parcels post is established We can do it if
we try.
mo paper is better than the worst humbug ad-
vertised in its columns" SO says an exchange
on its editorial page. Yet in the same issue are
advertisements of "vitalzers"; dropsy, rheuma,
tism and consumption cures, and men wanted" to
make 500 month and expenses. We agree with
the editor but we sorry that he does not take
look over his advertising columns.
Dr. Cooper Curtice, of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. who has had many years
experience in tick eradication work, says that the
idea that burning off the forests will get rid of
the cattle tick is all wrong. 1T is true that at
certain times of the year burning the grass on an
enclosed field may remove the ticks wherever the
fire travels but even then many places remain
unburned and the owner depends on the fire for
eradication, and consequently fails. Whenever
the grass is repeatedly burned, the roots become
eventually destroyed. the grasses give way
to the more resistant and finally the latter perish
Firing the leaves has not eradicated ticks al
though followed for years" Farming with fire
is pretty generally very poor farming and unre-
strained fire in forest is always harmful.
According to DR.. A. ID. Melvin, of the United
States Bureau OF Animal Industry, the average
value of Southern cattle sold in Northern markets
has been increased So per head by the eradication
Of the cattle tick This represents clear gain OF
$3,0o0,o0o; and all of it goes to those sections
that have freed themselves of the tick As a re-
suit OF this work. DR.. Melvin says:
More cattle being raised, and a better
grade OF breeding stock is being introduced;
calves grow faster. and cattle put on flesh
more rapidly during the grazing season and
go into the winter In better condition because
OF the absence Of the ticks: they can be
marketed without quarantine restrictions
and higher prices are being obtained: dairy
COWS give larger yield OF milk and values
OF farm lands are enhanced"
Why should not every State and every county
In the South get busy and rid itself OF this great
hindrance to progress?

Editorial Gleaninfs.

~ ONT THINK because you can't spell and
INV have never studied grammar that you can't
write something for The Progressive Far
mer and Gazette Some of the best letters we
ever print are from men who can't write SEN
tence without mis-spellng word. and who break
all the rules that Lindley Murray thought to
print. We always glad to put these letters in
the proper shape. however, and we find that the
homely common-sense contained in some OF them
makes them worth more than the productions of
some of our foremost college professors
Mr.. e. w. Dobbs, of South Carolina, has just
sent check to send The Progressive Farmer and
Gazette one year to fourteen tenants and friends
No farm owner afford to have tenant who
doesn't read the best farm literature.
The Southern Workman puts the case for good
roads just as it ought to be, when it says MEN
coming to that it is unfair to penalize
those who remain i'm the country districts to till
the soil by compelling them to haul their products
over bad roads,"
This issue might almost be called Canning
Special" and we commend to every reader thor
ough study of the different articles on this subject
as we'll as of the advertisements of canning out
fits. There is not much to yet; but now is the
accepted time to plant crops for canning later and
to get canning outfit. A supply of canned goods
next winter means more money and better health
You can not afford to neglect having such a sup
ply; so get busy right now.

In our opinion, the passage of no measure now
before Congress would be worth more TO the farm
Of the country than would the establishment
of a parcels post. Most farmers favor It, too:
but there is just way for them to get it, That
way is to let their representatives know that they
want it. We wish every reader would write at
