SOUTHERN SALES COMPANY
IN THE SUNSHINE CITY

The Southern Sales Company, cap
italized at SIS, 900, has been opened
in ST. Petersburg by three prominent
winter residents, two of which came
to this city for the first time after
putting $4,000 each into the COM
pany. The company was organized
by Fred c. Walter, of Scranton, Pa,
we'll known here as a former NOV
ing picture man and booster for the
Sunshine City. He interested two
friends, J. E. Klock, president of the
company, and Walter R. Lee, secre-
tary-treasurer, in the company and
brought them south with him.
This company has bought the en-
tire state of Florida for the vacuum
washing machine, which is now be-
ing introduced to the people Of St.
Petersburg for the first time. Head
quarters for the state have been es-
tablished in the w. T. l. A. build
ing. Demonstrations of the machine
are given at 3 o'clock each after
noon and at o'clock Monday, We'd
nesday and Friday evenings of the
week. Large crowds have been at
tending the demonstrations
An interesting incident occurred
| in a recent demonstration. Mr.. Wal
ter, who has charge of the sales
| agencies, was explaining the system
of covering the state and told OF q
Mrs. VI. J. Manlove, of Chicago, who
| borrowed the money to buy a $3.50
| contract She is worth $50, 00(
| today after eleven months work. TIC

who was present spoke up and said
that she knew Mrs. Manlove and

The Edison moving picture people
went down Silver Springs run and
up the Oklawaha Saturday to the
Oklawaha bridge. All along the
route they took pictures, weaving
them into a drama, which, we I'M
derstand, they will have the bad
taste to locate in Mexico or Cuba,
instead of right here in Florida,
which would cause it to be much
more interesting to any American.
At the Oklawaha bridge, they were
met by Mr.. d. H. kirkland and
some friends with cars, and our
home folks were woven into the
final scene of the drama. 1t was
then too late for the operators to go
to the Oklawaha Farms and Cap
tain Martins turpentine plantation,
but We understand they will visit
them on another occasion.

WILL VISIT OCALA
He represents a Good Cause and
Should Have an Attentive
Hearing

Editor Star: DR.. Swope Of Gin
cinnati viii spend the next four
months in Florida, as field agent for
the Florida Audubon Society. L is
expected that he will be in Ocala
from Saturday to Monday, Dec. Is
10 Is. He should visit the schools
during the day, and hold a public
meeting at night. 1t will be neces-
sary for some one to secure a meet
ing place, and to see that the meet
ing is announced in the churches,
advertised in the papers, and pro-
NOTED in every possible way. DR..
Swope is said TO be an excellent
speaker. He takes with him a
stereopticon and has a very fine col
lection of slides.
The subject of bird protection is
now very much in the minds of the
people of Florida and of the United
States, and the Florida Audubon
Society is anxious to make the most
possible of DR.. Swope's tour through
the state.
If any of your people should care
to entertain DR.. Swope in Ocala this
would reduce the expenses of the
campaign to the Audubon Society,
and would be greatly appreciated.
w. F. Blackman
President Florida Audubon Society.
The Audubon Society is doing a
most useful as we'll as human work,
and it's representative should have
the respectful attention of our peo-
pie.

Sour Milk Aids Digestion and Keeps
System From Getting FeVerish--
Good Suggestions.

The Pennsylvania station suggests
the following grain rations for fat
tening poultry as having been used
with success:
Where a yellow flesh is wanted a
ration should be made OF cornmeal,
FIVE parts; ground oats, hulls removed,
two parts; animal neal one part,
mixed with sour milk. Where a whit.
er flesh is wanted the following rations
are recommended: Cornmeal, two
parts; ground buckwheat. two parts
ground oats, two parts, mixed with
sour milk Another: Barley meal
two parts: middllngs, two parts; buck
wheat. two parts: cornmeal, one part
mixed with sour milk. Another? The

FERTILIZER ACTS LIKE MAGIC
Manure spresder Is Modern Device
and Covers Soil to Depth Of
About an Inch.

/ saw today a man pitching into a
manure spreader stable manure from
a large pile in the field where 1t had
lain until it was partially rotted, and
where it has been stirred several
times with forks ! was interested,
says a writer in Green's Fruit
Grower. and waited for the man TO
load his wheeled spreader drawn by
two horses, and saw him pass up and
down through the field several times.
This manure-spreading machine is a
modern device.
It spreads the manure more evenly
than any man can do the work, no
matter how careful or experienced he
may be. There was scarcely an inch
OF soil on the field that was not COW
cred with a slight spread of manure,
the machine covering about eight feet
in width each time it crossed the
field.
But it would seem impossible that
such slight covering Of manure
should have, as it does. such marvel
GUS effect upon the soil. This fertil-
izer really acts like magic. Il is not
alone the fertility which the manure
contains which benefits the land. The
manure helps to set at work bacteria
in the soil, thus in a measure inocu
lates the soil with helpful creatures
that continue their work Further
than this, the manure tends to loosen
the soil and to make It crumble easily
under the plow and harrow.

Iimlnn Sandy Soils.

Lime may improve loose sandy soils
by making them more compact and
more retentive of moisture. For this
purpose some form Of carbonate Of
lime is usually recommended, and in
much smaller quantities than for clay
soils. Clay soils will stand more lime
than sandy soils The improvement
of sandy soils will often be much
greater If the lime is applied to a
green crop turned under.
Lime hastens the conversion of the
vegetable matter into humus, and
this with the lime helps to fill the
open spaces between the sand grains.
II is claimed by those who have given
much attention to light sandy soils
That there are no other types of soils
that will respond quite so readily TO
lining, provided the necessary vege-
table matter is supplied in the form
of a green cover crop turned under.

There Is Bonanza In Seed Packet

Fashion moves in cycles, even In
Flora's realm, and the flower over

But the dahlia OF today has much

How 10 rest Garden Seed.

To avoid poor stands. seeds should
be tested before planting. This is a
very simple operation and requires
but a few minutes. There are several
simple methods of testing seeds, prob
ably most Of which will answer the
purpose.
One OF the simplest and quickest
ways is to test between blotting pa

kind to be tested. taking them just
as they come and not picking out the
best-looking ones. Scatter the seeds

turn another plate bottom side up

Alfalfa Works Deem.

Gasoline and oil help us to plow
deep, but there are depths far beyond
their reach needed by the plant roots
Just think Of the alfalfa. II works
for you all the time, day and night
through a long growing season, and
the while pays a good rent for the
land.
Alfalfa burns no oil. needs no har-
ness, oats or driver; once started 1t
continues its work till you plow II up,
and gives you a field filled with nitro
gen and humus piped far deeper for
any other crop roots than you could
possibly accomplish with great cost.
These things are worth considering
before the alfalfa field is plowed up
to make way for other crops which
call for lots OF work and expense.

JUDGING THE VALUE OF EGGS
Difference in Color Is Merely Indi-
cation Of Strain Of the Bird and
Nothing Else.

II is curious fallacy that the
brown egg is better than the white.
The difference in color is merely the
indication of the strain of the bird
aud nothing else, says leading au-
thority.
It is q fact that, generally speaking,
brown eggs are preferred over white
ones, and dealers have learned to ca
ter to supply this demand at small
cost II their customers want brown
eggs. they supply them as long as
they have them in stock. and then
color the white ones to oil out.
II Is a very easy matter staining a
white egg a beautiful delicate brown
by dipping it in weak coffee or an
alyne dye. Eggs colored in this way
sell just as readily and please the
customers as we'll as though they had
bought genuine brown eggs.
There is quite a difference, how
ever, in the lucrative value Of very
light colored yolks and those which
have a rich reddish yellow color. The
pale yolk indicates poor feeding and
bad conditions, but the reddish, yellow
yoIk indicates that the hens have
been fed on the right kind of rations,
and arc therefore better food.
Iron in the food gives color to the
yolk Of the egg. and anaemic persons
whose diet embraces eggs should al
ways select those of the rich reddish
color, because they contain more iron
than the pale ones.
In judging the value OF the egg as
food. therefore. do not take the color
OF the shell as an index OF its food
value, but upon its contents.
