FALLING BACK ON THE WOMEN

a Texas paper, the Gonzales In
quirer, in recent issue falls back on
the women for the enforcement of GER
tam ordinances already enacted and
Tor the enactment of new ones now
inspiring and animating all up-to-date
towns.
1t is said that we already have one
or two antedeluvian women on our
board of aldermen but we want a new
deal If we are to have women on
the board we want young, progressive,
up-to-date women, women that will put
in force ordinances such as are point
ed out by our Texas contemporary.
To-wit:
Ordinances prohibiting:
Expectorating on the sidewalks.
Screening all fruit and vegetables
exposed for sale but not necessarily
working hardship on the vendors ex-
cept the enactment of laws along the
lines of sanitation.
Prohibiting the drivers of bakers
wagons handling unwrapped bread,
cakes, etc.
Requiring the removal of livery
stables SO far from the public centers
as not to menace the public health by
the breeding of the obnoxious and dis
ease distributing flies.
If livery stables must be in the pub
lie centers then requiring a strict sur
veilance over same, and seeing that
they observe the rules laid down by
the state boards of health for the de
struction and eradication of the flies.
Requiring that papers, fruit peel
ings, melon rinds, and such refuse be
placed in the garbage cans.
Requiring that no milk or dairy
products be offered for sale either
to the creamery or private person ex-
cept from inspected cows, pronounced
free from tuberculosis. etc.
Oh, the women! How we long for
the day when they shall get on our
municipal boards.

FLORIDA FACTS

Cattle and hogs can be raised here
better and more cheaply than any
where else in the Union, because the
food can be produced more easily and
the climate is more favorable. and
there is more water. which is neces-
sary requisite
No state in the Union can surpass
Florida in either corn or cotton, both
of the long and short variety. 1t is
the real home of the tobacco plant aud
nowhere in the south can syrup be
made with the excellent flavor of the
Florida product.
Alfalfa, peas, clover. peanuts, cEu-
fas, pumpkins, and in fact every wage
table and farm product that can be
grown in the temperate or semi-trop-
ical regions can be grown in Florida
with the greatest ease and facility.
Every fruit on the continent. with
the exception of apples, does well in
this state, and does better than in
most other places.
While Florida boasts and should
boast of her wonderful climate and
of the fact that in the winter this is
the playground for all the rest of the
country, sight should never be lost of
the important fact that the great d.
versity of her agricultural products is
Florida's best asset-Pensacola Jour

TRAGEDY AT LAKELAND

A little boy ten years old was run
over by the cars at Lakeland Thurs
day, and killed. The little fellow was
climbing a sand embankment near
the railroad tracks with some other
playmates when he fell and rolled on
to the tracks and passing car ran
over him. The grandmother passed
through Ocala yesterday bearing the
little body to its mother, who is
spending the winter at Homosassa.
She had taken her grandson down to
Lakeland only a few days before TO
see an aunt of his. The grandmother
was crushed and heart-broken.

THE MOTHER or WASHINGTON
Her Many Virtues and the Tribute Of
President jackson

President jackson
Just as Washington IS known as the
Father Of His Country" SO the
mother of Washington may be appro-
priately named the mother of our
nation And that she is worthy of
the title, as much so as her son is
to his, was shown in all the noble
deeds of this great American woman.
says the Washington Herald Mary
Washington's life was one of unbroken
series of praiseworthy actions In the
Revolutionary drama, in which she
figured in many of its earlier scenes.
by her noble and inspiring womanhood
her example went far toward making
and molding the first chief of our
nation
Mary Washington's whole life was
so strikingly grand, she was uniformly
so gentle, so amiable and so dignified.
that it would be difficult to fix the eve
on any one act more striking than the
rest. The illustrious son, naturally.
so overshadowed the modest and un-
assuming mother, that we are very
prone to forget to give to the woman
to whom he owed much of his great
ness. Always absorbed in the domes-
tic duties she discharged so faithfully.
she made her great gift to men, and
then passed from the stage as quietly
and as modestly as she had lived and
labored
But Washington never forgot the
real source of his greatness. He was
always mindful of the woman whose
virtues had warmed his own and had
fitted him to become the man of un-
bending integrity and heroic courage.
Washingtons father having passed on
when George was a Young man, it fell
to the lot of the mother to rear her
five children. And as the richest re-
ward of mothers so.icitude and toll
she had the happiness of seeing all of
her children come forward with fair
the noble career of her eldest son,
till. by his own rare merits, he was
raised to the head of nation, and
applauded and revered by the whole
world.
How thoroughly typical of the
mother was her reception of the news
of her sons successful passage of the
Delaware in the bleak December of
1776. When she came to those por-
tons of the dispatches which were
panegyrical of her son, she modestly
and cody observed to the bearers of
the good tidings, that George ap-
peared to have deserved well of his
country for such signal service. But,
my good sirs," she added, there is
too much flattery! George will
not forget the lessons have taught
him-he will not forget, though he
is the subject of so much praise"
On the seventh of May 1888, the
corner stone of fine monument was
erected over the remains at Fred
ericksburg. and General Jackson. then
President of the United States, closed
his address with the following tribute:
Fellow-citizens. at your request, and
in your name. / now deposit this plate
in the spot destined for it; and when
the American pilgrim shall, in after
ages, come up to this high and holy
place. and lay his hand upon this
sacred column, may he recall the
virtues of her who sleeps beneath, and
depart with his affections purified,
and his piety strengthened, while he
envokes blessings upon the mother of

BULLETINS ON POTATO GROWING

Copies have just been received
at this office of a bulletin from the
State Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, giving the results of expert
ments in growing potatoes which
have been in progress for several
years. General Bulletin No. 81,
Potato Investigations" by A. G..
Craig, gives the results of variety
tests made in 1905 to 1908 inclusive.
The report shows the varieties which
were found to be best for different
purposes, such as early market
t ubers; medium maturity, heavy
yielding varities; heavy yielding,
late varities; stock food varieties,
.etc. 1t also contains a very COM
plete discussion of the method OF
improving yields of potatoes by
seed selection. Results of the ex-
periments show that it is possible
to increase the yield of the more
common varities more than 80 per
cent by careful selection of seed for
two successive years. A brief sum-
mary of the methods of planting,
cultivating, harvesting and market
ing the crop, which have been
found to give best results in farm
practice throughout the state is
sncluded in the bulletin. Copies
of the bulletin may be had free OF
charge by writing to the Director
of the Experiment Station, Pull
man, Wash.

that TOBACCO YARN

1t is proposed to raise tobacco
in the Columbia River Valley,
Washington. The experiment is to
be made by Nathan Thayer, a for
mer Southern Tobacco grower, who
is now located at Kenmewick, that
State. He reports that in clearing
some land he found wild tobacco
growing in profusion among the
sage brush, and he sees no reason
why its cultivation can not be fol-
lowed with profit. Horticultural
experts agree that the soil and eli
matte conditions are such that to-
bacco would do well, and believe
that the late falls would be ideal
for curing the product. Mr.. Thayer
intends to return to his old Ken
lucky home during the winter and
to take back with him number of
negroes who are expert growers of
tobacco
This little story was cut from the
Western Tobacco Journal, published
at CINCINNATI, Ohio, and is only
one among many that have been
published in leading newspapers all
over the United States during the
past few weeks. Mr.. Thayer has
! received newspaper clippings, bust
ness notes and personal letters from
friends all over the South, relative
to the new industry which he is al
legged to be promoting. Tobacco
factories have written offering him
their assistance. The foundation
of the stories was little converse
ton between Mr.. Thayer and Prof.
Van Holderbeke in the lobby of Ho-
tel Kennewick which was overheard,
somewhat enlarged upon and finally
sent on its way to the press. Some
old adage has it that words have
wings and they have certainly flown
far in this case. The gentlemen,
in discussing tobacco made the sup
position that if wild varieties of the
weed were found here, the cultiva-
ted commercial article might be
grown successfully.
! The project has assumed such pro-
portions while in the hands OF the
press, that Mr.. Thayer says he will
have to grow tobacco in self defense
and says that it is probable that he
will promote some experiments in
its culture on his place on the High
lands.

THE YELLOW SKIN Of
THE GUERNSEY

As is we'll known the Guernsey
breed of cattle give milk and butter
OF the highest yellow color of any
breed, says Hoard's Dairyman.
Next comes the Jersey, a sister
breed on neighboring island. The
Guernsey people set great store by
this feature Of high color and they
have perfect right to do so. But
much serious discussion is had
among the Guernsey breeders as to
the best means Of keeping up this
desirable feature.
In blind, general way they are
told to breed for it.. - But that is
not enough. 1t will be useless to
breed for thing if afterward the
thing is wasted and through wrong
environment and wrong ideas of
feeding that which went in with the
breeding goes ont because of wrong
conditions. We undertake to say
that not one winter stable in a
thousand is light enough to enable
the COW to keep up the yellow color
OF her milk.
What are the causes of the yellow
color in milk? Cd The yellow
pigment in the COW herself. If she
has it the milk will show it.
(2) The greatest abundance pos
sible of light. In summer all COWS
show more color in their milk than
in winter, for the reason, partially,
that they are exposed to more sun.
light than in winter. The sun is
the source of all color.
60 The greenness of the food
consumed. In winter the COW con-
sumes food the color of which is
bleeched out. In summer the grass
is of the deepest green. The in
ference is easy, that if the farmer
wants his cows to give yellow milk
he should keep them in a thorough
ly we'll lighted stable and feed for
age of green color.
In London, the butchers require
that all veals shall be fattened in
the dark in order their tallow shall
be white. Many a farmer has
bleached out his cows in the same
manner by keeping them in a dark
stable.
Alfalfa and clover hay cut when
it is greenest and cured in the cock
under caps will help wonderfully to
keep the milk yellow.
The Guernsey breeders, of all
men, should have the best lighted
stables and the greenest hay in or
der that they may preserve in their
cattle the yellow pigment established
by nature. 1t will be useless to
breed for this yellow color if en-
vironment and feed do not reinforce
and supplement the breeding.
