Consequently thousands OF them
die during the hard winter, and
the young ones that pull through
are so stunted that they never grow
up. q
A few men have seen the posi-
bilities. One feeder figures that
an acre of velvet beans will fatten
thousand pounds of live weight,
and he regards the beans simply as
by-product of the rotation.
Cowpea hay sells for $25 a ton;
crabgrass hay for 500 ton; and it
doesn't cost $6 a ton to produce
either crop.
Milk retails in the cities for 60
cents a gallon; one man is produc-
ing it at 10 cents gallon.
Now, with the aid of the Federal
government, $4,000 cattle are to
be shipped out of the State to the
food lots, and if raisers will only
keep at it, there is a $4,000, 900
business in sight.
In the Country Gentleman for
june 7th is one Of the most inter-
esting and instructive stories on
cattle raising and dairying in Flor
ida that has been published for
some time. 1t is entitled "Florida
as q Cattle Country" and is from
the pen of Harry Snowden Stabler,
who spent most of last winter in
the State making study of cattle
conditions In Florida.
Among the lines of the lengthy
article is the following:
''Nearly all Of the smaller hotels
in Florida-and there are some
which are excellent-are run on
the American plan. When you
pick up the menu you may see at
the bottom: 'Tea, coffee, cocoa,
buttermilk." Ask the waiter for
a glass of milk, and he will say,
'Milk's extra, suh.' Ask. the pro-
prietor why it is 'extry' and hell
probably tell you that it costs
from As to so cents a gallon whole
sale, ,and that it is not extra at that.
"You'll naturally wonder where
the buttermilk comes from, be-
cause milk at 45 cents a gallon
surely means 85-cent butter.
Jacksonville spends close to u mil
lion dollars for the latter each
year, imported from other States,
while down along the East Coast
the Palm Beachers drink milk that
comes all the way from New York
by steamship.
''There's nothing like asking
questions, even if you don't always
get the right answers. / said

''There is one man in Central
Florida, however, who is making
