FROM FLORIDA. Former Brinkley Lady Writes Interesting Letter From
 Florida.

Yours of April 18th to hand recently and l assure you that I appreciate every good word in behalf of myself both from old friends" and others.
 As said before, 1 am here in Florida. My home was a pres ent to me from a relative, pro- vided I could straighten the busi- ness part of it and get a clear deed. 1 kept my mouth shut something hard for some folks to do moved right in and at the end of 9 weeks my deed was handed over. 1 asked for 1t once and then 1 waited to see the salvation of the Lord.
 am busy, so busy. l think when was born 1 was too busy to grow very much until l was twelve or fourteen years old. Now that I can die under my own roof and over my own piece of ground 1 am more than ready to go.
 The world is drifting back to the ''home idea" and places where a man of limited means and lots of determination can se- cure a home is fast passing away. So many from every sec tion of the country even Can- ada put down their $500 a month for a 10 acre tract and get a town lot free. Then the band begins to play. All this section was an old southern plan. tation 30 or 40 years ago, the land worn out, but now grown up with pine and palm or scrub palmetto. Some secured 10 or 20 acres already cleared and some orange trees on it. believe the company fells the trees but the
 new conner" must do the rest. The sturdy men from the west, east and north blast the pine stump out or burn them out t-- the Southerner plowed around the stumps. Ishould have said that a good wire fence has to en- close every settlement because the stock would destroy every thing. You may take as many tens as you like, increasing your monthly payments five dollars for each additional ten acres. $250. % at $5.0O a month. It takes 50 months to pay out or $22O. co cash, bringing it to about or positively $3. % an acre. Now let us see as I have seen a house must be built, if a man has no team hauling must be done, blowing, planting, etc. One man drove from north Indiana here in six weeks. He had two horses to each wagon. The horses gave out in Tennessee so he traded for mules. He brought household furniture even a piano. He learned the carpen- ters trade; his 16-year-old boy drives a team and his 14-year-old sister the other. He had two lots on which he built 2 cypress log bungalows which he rents for $500 per month unfurnished or $1O. % furnished. He bought a little house nearer the lake. He is dabbling in real estate quite proftably and plays the violin at dances for just what they will hand over. Now beat that. He is here to stay. Another, good man too, got fine ten acre tract, perhaps more for all know, commenced a nine room house on it. He is carpenter, jeweler, brick mason and some other trades. He lost child and then his wife last week. He his five other children and most of them sick and living in a rot ten house. I can't say what he will do.
 A baby was born in tent in sight of my house last night. The climate is fine compared to the north and west. Everybody seems to want to live out in the open air. Pneumonia and con- sumption has certainly fattened

MISSOURI STATE news
Josephine Lost Milk Test.

The years milk test over which Mis-
souri, Chief Josephine, the S-year-old
Holstein COW owned by the a%gricultur-
al college of the University of Mis-
souri,, was sen after the worlds rec.
ord, has ended. Figures and date are
not compiled, but it is known Jose
phine did not land the record for a
year. Though the great COW has
smashed all records for eleven months
or less, she is between $50 and 300
pounds behind the record of Colantha,
Fourth's Johanna, a dairy COW, also g
Holstein, owned at Rosendale, Wis.
Her mark was 67,i32 pounds in twelve
months. The Wisconsin COW weighs
1850 pounds, which is 800 pounds
more than Josephine weighs. Jose
phine averaged i~orty.seven quarts a
day for six months and was 1000
pounds ahead Of the Wisconsin COW
at the end of six months. This mar
gin carried Josephine past all records
up to the twelfth month. Josephine's
figures will be forwarded to the Amer
lean Fresian IIolstein association for
approval within thirty days. Jose
phine was bred and fed on the Mis-
souri, university farm under the direc-
ton of Professor G. II. Eckcls and
Van Note, university herdsman.

Select Short Toe Nails.

If you are thinking Of going into
the poultry business, even on the back
yard scale, pick chickens with short
toe nails to start with. Prof. j. L.
Rice, the Cornell university poultry
expert, told the farmers gathered at
Columbia that if they did they
would be sure to get thrifty chickens
that would give them an egg for
breakfast nearly every morning.
These chickens have short toe nails,
he says, from continuous scratching
for food and a chicken that is con
stant1y scratching for food is sure to
be industrious. The average hen Of
old time laid on an average only IS
eggs q year, Professor Rice said,
while the modern hen of pure breed
ing will lay from 100 to 200 eggs an
nIally.

TEN MILLION PEOPLE
IN THE CANADIAN
WEST BY 1920
"Toronto Star" Dec. 18th, 1910.

The prediction Is made that before
1920 Manitoba, Saskatchewan, AL.
berta and British Columbia will have
ten million people. 1t is made not by
a sanguine Western journal but by
that very sober business newspaper
the New York Commercial. 1t is
based upon actual observation, upon
the wheat.grOwing capacity of the Ca
madam West, and upon the prospects
Of development following the build
ing of railways. The writer shows
how the position OF leading wheat
market of the world passed from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence
to Winnipeg. Canada's wheat.grow-
ing belt is four times greater than
that of the United States, and only
five per cent of Canada's western agri.
cultural area IS under cultivation.
There are 10000, 900 acres of wheat
lands which will make these Western
Provinces richer, more populous, more
dependable for food supplies than the
Western States can ever become. The
center Of food supremacy will change
W Ndndud, anu 20 years InOTe VIII
give this coustry 100000 popula-
ton west of ontario.
All these estimates OF population
are in the nature OF guesses, and must
not be read too literally. But the
enormous area of wheat.growing land,
The rapid construction of railways,
and the large volume of immigration
are facts which must be recognized.
They point to the production Of an
ever-incrcasiug surplus of wheat and
other cereals. However rapidly the
urban, the industrial and commercial
population of Canada may increase,
the Increase Of home consumption Is
hardly likely to keep pace with that
Of the production of wheat; for a sin
gle acre Of wheat will provide for the
average annual consumption Of foul
people.
While production in Canada is thus
running ahead of consumption at a
p%rodigious rate, consumption in the
United States Is overtaking produc-
ton, and the surplus for export is
growing smaller year by year. 1t Is
true that the limit of actual power to
produce wheat Ia as yet far away.
by methods of intensive cultivation,
such as prevail in France, the produc-
ton could be greatly increased. But
with the overlooking granary Of Can
ada so close at hand, it seems likely
that our neighbors will begin to I'm
port from us, turning their own en-
ergies more largely to other forms of
agriculture.
1t must be remembered that while
the Northern States resemble Canada
in climate and products, the resem-
blanCe diminishes rs you 20 south
ward. The wheat belt gives place to
a corn belt, and this again to semi
tropical regions producing cotton, to-
bacCo, Canc-sngar. oranges and other
tropical fruits.
The man who secures a farm in
Western Canada ut the present time
secures an investment better than the
best of bond of any government or
bank. 1t is no unusual thing for a
farmer in Western Canada to realize
a profit of from s. to $40 per acre.
There are thousands of free home.
