STILL BELLIGERENT

In reading the debates in congress,
we are sometimes reminded that the
war or it's memories are not yet over.
Uncle Joe Cannon was one of the few
to forget it's bitter memories, and even
went so far as to pay tribute to JEFF
ferson Davis as being one of the great
that posterity would give him a niche
in the hall of fame But in discussing
the memorial proposed to be erected
to the memory of Abraham Lincoln,
and replying to the ex-speaker, Hon.
BENJAMIN X. Focht, of Pennsylvania,
was ungracious and ungenerons
enough to refer to the president of
the Confederate States of America as
follows: "A monument to Jefferson
Davis as an object lesson, would be
a shame to the south and a disgrace
to civilization We are of the opin-
ion that the sentiments thus express
ed will receive scant applause from
any section of the country, either
north or south. Not quite yet are the
people ready for so much forgetful-
ness as thus to exalt and giorify trea-
son and conspiracy as was exhibited
by Davis before the war, his cruel
hand during the war, then, after all
was lost, to his dying day refuse to
accept amnesty or recognize the stars
and stripes and a restored union"

Among the prominent visitors to
our city is Hon. W. A. Fulton of
3rooksville. He is one of the pro-
gressive men of that section He is
es faith in the states future. He has
a large body of hammock lands, and
besides an orange grove he has plant
ed out one thousand fig trees, and
any number of Japanese persimmons.
But he is now exploiting a grass
which he thinks will prove the most
remunerative crop in the calendar of
Florida's possibilities. The United
States procured the seed for him from
South Africa, and the grass has been
named in honor of Cecil Rhodes. 1t
is q wonderfully prolific plant, and
thrives as well as any of our indigo
nous grasses. It makes a better hay
than timothy, and can be cut several
times during the year Mr. Fulton
says that he made six hundred bales
last year off of twenty acres, and he
sells the hay readily for twenty-five
dollars per ton. And last year he was
only experimenting with it. By plant
ing it he says that he can easily clear
one hundred and fifty dollars to the
acre and it almost makes itself. Be
sides making an excellent hay it is an
excellent forage plant, and COWS and
calves and horses and clots thrive on
it. Mr.. Fulton will plant one hun
dred acres of it this year if he can
procure the seed in time.

CARS ON THE HOMOSASSA
BRANCH

Hon. n. A. Bitch, member of the
state railway commission, made an in
! spection of the cars running out from
Ocala on the Homosassa branch, and
made the following report to the COM
mission:
The Atlantic Coast Line railway
has four trains a day over this branch
line, two each way. One train is
known as an accommodation, or mix
ed train, said train being No 49, On
this train l found the passenger equip
ment sufficient for this run, but the
cars and toilets are not kept in clean,
sanitary condition, and should receive
prompt attention. The average pas
senger travel on this mixed train is
about As to so passengers a day.
Il also investigated train which is
known as Nos. "A and AZ. which is said
TO be a first class passenger train.
The car that is used for colored pas
sengers is in bad condition, and should
be taken off this run; said car being
No 724.
"The car that is used now as pas
senger coach for white passengers
was once used on this line for colored
passengers, said car being No. 40
The cars and toilets on this train are
also in an unclean and unsanitary
condition. Average travel on this
train is about 100 per day.
''On investigation l found that the
car cleaners are stationed at Ocala
and that all the cleaning is done at
that point The first class train,
known as No. "A, remains over night
at Homosassa, and is only in Ocala in
the middle of the day, and only for
about an hour each day the cleaners
have access to it. The cleaning force
in ny opinion, needs to be increased,
| or else have some one to inspect the
cars to see that the car cleaners have
| done their work as same should be
done
Therefore, l recommend that the
Atlantic Coast Line r. r. Co. be re-
Quired to keep cars and toilets in said
cars on above mentioned tains on the
Ocala and Homosassa branch line, in
a more Clearly and sanitary condition
Il further recommend that car No.
724 on the train known as No. Al
which is now used for cOlored passen-
gers, be taken off. and that car No
10, on said train No. "A, which is now
used for white passengers, be used
for the colored coach, and that a bet
ter and more modern coach be put on
for the white passenger travel.
Il further recommend that a suffi-
cient crew of car cleaners be installed
to keep the cars in better condition
than they have been kept in the past,
| and that closer watch be kept on said
crew in order to see that they are per-
forming their duty as it should be.

AN OLD MONARCH DETHRoNED

The mammoth live oak tree on
South Second street, next to the res
idence of Mr.. A. NJ Wing, has been
dethroned, after more than a week S
labor in dismembering its limbs and
Upturning it's roots. Arthur Jones,
William Lumpkin and Joe Morgan,
the three colored men who had charge
of the work, used great skill in telling
the huge limbs so as to do no injury
to buildings, fences and telegraph
poles and lines in their near vicinity.
Using the utmost caution and dill
gence, not a particle of damage was
done
The tree was a giant of its kind,
and had given shade and shelter to
man and beast and fowl for perhaps
several hundred years.

When the blossoms begin TO turn

Mixed timothy and clover should he
cut Immediately after the bloom be-
gins TO fall. Close watch must be

the timothy blooms and sheds its
blossoms in a very short time When
the bloom is on full, the heads are

triton Of the hay is retained and it

If the grass is allowed TO stand un-
till bit overripe, the seeds will shat
ter in handling, and much Of its sub
stance will be lost. The stems, too,
become hard and lose much of their
succulence so greatly relished by the
live stock. because the moisture leaves
the stems very quickly after the grass
has reached maturity.
II cut after thoroughly ripe the
most desirable portion of the hay is
lost Many of the blades are entirely
lost in handling, and what remains
on the stems is tasteless and unpala-
table to stock.
Whenever you observe much hay
left in the managers be sure it has been
rejected by the stock because it is
unfit for their needs. Sometimes
stock will eat this woody, dry hay out
of necessity, but it does them no good
On the other hand, the early mown,
mixed hay possesses all of those ele-
ments so necessary to the building Up

eat it up clean. The farmer who finds
ii difficult to obtain enough waste hay

be sure that he is getting about all
the benefit there is to be had from his
hay crop.
While it is not wise TO cut too
early. still it is better TO err Oh the
side Of early than of late cutting. The
amount of good hay secured by early
cutting is usually greater than that
when cut after the crop has thorough
L. matured.
One thing in favor of early cutting
is the fact that the drain upon the
soil is stopped. The ripCnEg process
OF the hay crop eXhausts the soil very
rapidly, and it is important that the
clements necessary to produce good
hay should be kept in the soil as long
