ans generally appear to appreciate
more keenly than those of many
other states, perhaps more than
those Of all other states, the vital
Importance of public sanitation.
When the constant and wide
prevalence Of pulmonary tuberco-
losis is realized, more often than
not in every public place, whether
it be the theatre, the church or
the club house, the danger of
those who are free from the dis
ease may be appreciated. The
habit of splitting is said to be dis
tinctively American. Perhaps
that is one reason why tuberculosis
il more prevalent in this country
than in any other on earth. Ger
tainly the habit is wide spread in
the United States, and that it is a
habit is shown by the lack of in
clination to expectorate in private
homes and in places where no re-
ceptacle is provided.

More people are interested in
Florida than in any other state in
the Union. A Floridian who
travels is constantly questioned by
men who want to know the truth
about the state. But there are
few men who can tell the truth
about Florida.
1t isn't because they don't want
to-tell the truth but because they
see only one side of it. The large
majority of the people of this
state are pleased with Florida.

FLORIDA FINE STATE
FOR CATTLE RAISING
Opinion of Kesierner Who Suggests
How TO Improve Native
Stock

That Florida offers the very
best of opportunities of any state
in the Union for the raising of cat
tie, is the opinion of G. M. Grace,
chief cattle buyer for the Miller
Bros 101 Ranch in Oklahoma,
says the Times Union.
When seen recently in the office
of A. O. Dawson, commercial
agent of the Georgia Southern &
Florida railroad, Mr.. Grace said:
81 have been here since March
buying up and shipping cattle for
the Miller Brothers.
''In the five months have been
here we have shipped about $4,000
head of cattle and have about TO-
900 more already bought and ready
to be shipped.
Your cattle in Florida are the
best of any in the United States.
In saying that, mean that they
are better proportioned. They
are small and clean limbed. If
crossed with another breed the
very best results would be obtain
ed. | should advise the crossing
of your native cattle with Poll
Angas.
''In other words" continued
Mr.. Grace, ''Florida beef would
be the highest on the market and
would bring 81 more on the humid
red pounds than any other beef.
Cattle shipped from here at the
age of s years will, after one year
on our ranges, increase 200 pounds
in one year, while>a yearling will
attain weight of 1000 pounds
within three years. From my
observation while here in Florida
| can see that the cattle are not
getting enough salt. This is very
necessary for them and largely
helps in keeping them up.
''Your grass here is, Of course,
nutritious, but not good for fatten-
ing. You can grow red clover
here to the very hest of advantage.
| have noticed this about the cat
lie pens where sprouts have sprung
up and, being very prolific plant,
il trapidly spreads. One peculiar
feature about cattle is that they
will only feed on tender grasses. |
In other words, If you have ever
loticed them they are constantly |
going over the same ground, keep
ng the herbage closely cropped to
he ground and avoiding the grass
hat has grown up and become old
md tough.
you have better facilities in
bis state for raising cattle than
my oher place in the Union.
But, +" concluded Mr.. Grace, s'the
reed should be improved and at
ention given to the raising of
roper grasses for forage. +"

The Truth About Florida

They are so well pleased that they
don't see anything but the bright
side and their optimistic talk is
calculated to lead to the belief that
a man can make money hero with
scarcely half an effort.
Some men believe this. So fa-
vorable is the general impression
of Florida that Il lot of men are
ready to believe whatever they
hear and from men of this class
who come to this state one is
apt to hear the other side of the
case. The man who comes to this
state expecting to make fortune
without hard work finds he was
mistaken and afterwards sees only
the dark side and tells what he
sees through jaundlced eyes.
Four or five crops can be raised
in Florida on the same gronn,l in
one year. In fact in some cases
six crops have been grown from
the same land. 1t scarcely needs
an argument to convince sane
man that more money can be
made off IN acre of land that can
mature from four to six crops in
year than from one that can ma
ture only one or two. 1t is little
more than matter of multiplica-
ton.
But does thisdshow that one can
live without working in Florida?
1t shows the reverse. There is no
need of any argument to prove
that the man who raises from four
to six crops must work longer
than the man who raises only one.
La the states in which only one
crop can be produced in year
the farmers have three or four
Of leisure every year
three or four months in which
there is nothing they can do. But
the man who raises FIVE or six
crops year has no leisure. He
has a whole year in which tn work.
We think given amount of
work will produce better results
in Florida than in any other state
but the man who wishes to do the
best he can for himself will not
stop when he has done an amount
of work equal to that which can
be done proGtably in states fur
ther north. He has time to do
more work and double his results.
So the main advantage of Flori-
la is not in tempting men to idle
ness but in lengthening the time
during which they can work with
profit. The man who understands
this and acts on it intelligently
will never be knocker, for he
will never be a failure. He will
zee the bright side of Florida and
live the bright side of life and if,
IN after years, he wishes to rest he
will DO able to rest without fear of
want. --Times-U Union.

PROFITABLE FIGHT
CAN BE MADE ON THE TICK
Build Dipping Vafs and Save What
is Now Loss

! The Acting Secretary of Agri
culture has issued an o.der effec-
tive on and after September /,
1918, releasing from cattle quar-.
antine for Texas fever 8, ,191 square
miles in the States Of Texas, Okla
homa, Tennessee, Georgia, and
South Carolina. This means that
the sections released have succeed
ed in eradicating the cattle tic k
which is the cause of spreading
splenetic or Texas fever in cattle.
This release from quarantine is in
addition to the 10000 square miles
released on March /, 1918, so that
this year the quarantine has been
lifted in nearly 10000 square miles
of cattle raising territory.
Since the beginning Of the work
of tick eradication in 1906, 1885,
800 square miles, out of the 741,-
551 square miles infected, have
been cleaned up and released from
quarantine.
Florida was the last state to
take any steps toward combating
the cattle tick, although 80 per
cent Of the cattle that are lost in
this state die of Texas fever,
brought on by this parasite. 1t
is only recently that any interest
was taken in the tick eradication
movement by cattle raisers in SUI
vance county, where hundreds of
cattle have died from the Texas
fever.
The cost of building vat for
dipping is very little compared
with the risk run and if several
farmers in each section would get
together and put in vat, the cost
to each woald be very little in
deed.
Cattlcmen in Florida should
make an effort to free the state
from quarantine and the only way
it can be done is to get rid of the
cattle tick by dipping all cattle.
1t costs on az average of 10 cents
a year per head to keep cattle
healthy and free from Texas few
er. At this low cost there should
be no loss from this cause in Flor
ida. -Kissimmee Valley Gazette. |

In the hands of the irresponsl-
bic servant or in those of her in
telligent mistress, it scatters the
bacteria of tuberculosis and
spreads the germs of suffering
and death. The utter uselessness
of this implement to accomplish
what it is intended to accomplish
should relegate it to the scrap
heap or to the mantel as q bit of
bric-a-brac. Presumably it is a
tool for cleaning, for removing
the accumulations of dirt particles
which floating in the air eventual
ly find lodging on exposed sur
faces. The duster dislodges it,
scatters it, fills the air with it and
permits it to find new resting
places or to return to the spot
from which it has been removed.
The only real good that has been
gained is the satisfaction that
comes to the jealous housewife,
who imagines that she has really
Tsdusted."
The modern housewife has ban
ished IL from her home. She uses
the dampened cloth and when it is
filed with the gathered dirt, it is
taken out of doors and shaken
vigorously in the wind. After
using it is consigned to the laun-
dry.
The Florida State Board of
Health through the twenty-five
years of its official existence, has
waged a war against uncleanli-
ness. 1t has urged upon the peo-
pie campaign of education, by
which it has sought to warn
against the dangers that lurk in
unsupported corners and cracks
and crevices. And this campaign
is bearing fruit. The feather dus-
ter has been one of the objects of
special antipathy by the board,
and it has endeavored to drive it
from the public places, from pub
lie conveyances and from the
homes.
The great transportation com
panies, which control public con-
veyances-some of them ut least -
have been impressed with these
ideas of sanitation and have taught
their servants. those that come in
to contact with the travelling pub
lie, the necessity of neatness and
cleanness. The feather duster has
been removed from the Pullman
Company's sleepers and chair and
dining cars. 1t has been replaced |
by the cloth, usually dampenej,
with which the accumulated dust |
is removed from seats and win
dow ledges while passengers oc-
cupy these conveyances. The old
way would have been to fiirt the
feathers over the dust laden places,
fill the air with The disturbed and
possibly germ-laden filth for the
travellers to inhale 10 their great
Inconvenience, discomfort aud
danger.
But not all these great corpora
tions operating in Florida have
this consideration for their pat
rons. At more than one semi
terminal, where railroads cross
and exchange traffic, it is the
practice for railroad employees to
enter the passenger coaches, usu-
ally partly or wholly filed with
travellers, and vigorously sweep
the accumulated debris from the
aisIes, and this without the sug-
gestion of a drop of water where
with to sprinkle the filthy floors. L
