The little city by a considerable ma
jority adopted the commission form Of
government the day we were there. 1t
remains to be seen whether the legal
voters of the "City Beautiful" acted
wisely in casting their ballots. The
question is one TO which we have given
little or no thought, but are confident il
is debatable one.
Orlando, which is not much larger
than Richmond, has two thriving daily
papers and three weeklies. The Report
er-Star, which is the oldest daily in South
Florida, is edited by Mr.. George c. Kel-
Ter, formerly of Harrodsburg, but more
recently of the Interior Journal, Stan-
ford. He was an understudy of Col. W.
p. Walton, who spent portion of last
week in Richmond. We are glad to say
that Mr.. Keller is making good" in all
that the slang phrase implies. His pa
per is strong one. booster for Florida
and its influence for good is felt far be-
yond the confines of the county in which
it is published.
We have been asked if it were not
very warm in Florida at this season. 1t
is not. On the contrary, it is far more
pleasant in Orlando in summer than it
is in this part of Kentucky. The mer-
curry goes just as high there, but then
there is almost always a delightful sea
breeze, which not only makes life beara
BILE, but very much worth living. Then
too it rains nearly every day in the hot
test season, and this is great help from
the standpoint of comfort.
A great State is Florida already, but
we believe the day is coming when she
will rank with the best in the bunch.
The largest in point of territory east of
the Mississippi river and with fewer peo-
pie than live in the city of St. Louis,
she has not yet attained her growth in
population or industry, but the day is
coming, and by leaps and bounds, when
the Peninsular State will be hailed as
''the first, the last, the best; the land of
prosperity and plenty" So mote it be

The Land of Sunshine And
Flowers" And The CITY
Beautiful"


A trip to Southern Florida and bacl
in five days, including 24-hours' stay il
Atlanta, is going some, but that is wha
this exceptionally poor traveller did last
week. 1t was our intention to remain
longer in the "Lana of Sunshine and
Flowers" but combination of circum
stances prohibited the carrying out ol
our purpose as we had mapped out
Man proposes and God disposes," you
know. Anyway, we had satisfactory
and altogether pleasant trip. Our OBJ
jective point was Orlando, a delightful
little city of some 5000 inhabitants,
about $50 miles south of Jacksonville,
which latter city is, as our readers know,
the gateway to Florida
Orlando, which we presume got its name
from the character in the Shakespearean
play, "As You Like It," is in the South
Central portion of Florida, and is one of
the busiest, cleanest, prettiest and best
little cities in that State, noted for its
beautiful towns. 1t is probably 35 miles
from the Atlantic and IS from the Gulf,
and the ocean breezes make the climate
well-nigh perfect the year round. The
winters are delightful beyond the power
of this pen to tell, while the summers
are not so severely hot as they are in Cen
tral Kentucky. Tourists of the North
cheerfully testify TO Orlando's splendid
climate, for, in winter, or in what they
term the tourist season. 1000 to 5000
gather there in order that they may
escape the cold blasts that they are sure
to encounter almost anywhere else.
Besides being tourist town, Orlando
is manufacturing center of no mean
pretentions and is the seat of Orange
county, the banner citrus growing coun-
ty of the State. Some 5000, 600 or more
boxes of oranges, grape fruit, tangerines
and the like were shipped out of Florida
last season and of this number Orange
county growers shipped over million.
The crop this year is most promising,

winter, prospects for the Florida grove
owners are most lattering. They will
have big crop and prices will be high.
Citrus fruit from Orange county COM
mands the best prices on the market, be-
cause of its superior quality. There
is something in the soil that makes the
oranges grown there sweeter and better
favored than can be found in any other
county.
Truck gardening is another big indus
try in which Orange county leads. Ma
ny thousands of cars of fresh vegetables
are shipped North during the winter and
from this source much revenue is de-
rived.
We mentioned above that Orlando was
manufacturing center. There is there
an iron foundry, employing many skill
ed workmen; boiler factory, with a big
pay roll; patent medicine concern,
which gives employment to large force;
cigar factory, which turns ou: daily
many hundred boxes of clear Havanas,
several planning mills and one enterprise
known as the Novelty Works, where a
great deal of fancy wood work is turned
out.

Tilford Jones Hurt in Game.

Tilford Jones, who is now outfielder
for the Columbus team and who used to
manage the Richmond Bluegrass leagu-
ers, suffered severe accident in game
between Milwaukee and Columbus which
will keep him out of the game for some
time. Jones is one of Columbus heav-
lest hitters and his absence will be very
much felt.
He sustained fractured right jaw
when he and Shelton collided at full
speed while going after Berg's short fly
in the third inning. Both men were bad
ly hurt and were at once removed to a
hospital.

the stand you take on Imperial

your recent issues you are ad-
vocating the parceling out of
$4,000 acres of land under the
new east side high line project
by the government into 20-acre
tracts, thereby making homes for
d great number of residents. |
do not agree with you as to the
advisability of such action for
various reasons. First, let me
explain that | have a direct filing
on a claim out there and would
be benefited greatly if your sug-
geStion were carried out. for a
dense population would increase
the value Of my property. There
fore l can safely assume that my
motive is not selfish and that my
reasoning does not arise from
any selfish interest.
In the first place this land was
withdrawn by the government
while the resurvey was being
run, in order to avoid any
more unnecessary readiustments
to the new survey, which could
be easily avoided by withdrawing
the land from entry until the
government survey was complet-
ed and accepted. Those who filed
applications for their claims
after the withdrawal did so in
good faith, expecting the govern
ment to restore the land to entry
as soon as the survey was COM
pleted, after which they could
complete their filing. In order
TO show their good faith. they
went ahead, did their proof work
as required by law and did every
thing in their power to fulfill the
letter and spirit of the law. Most
of the claim holders are local
men, men with families, and
many getting along in years,
who, if they are deprived Of their
claims, will have their only hope

PRODUCTION OF PUKh
Hog Can Always BE Sold for
Cash at Nearby Markets.
Breed and Color Are Not Factors In
Determining Price When Sold to
3utcher-Pure-Bred Animals
Are Admittedly Superior.
CBy W. A. LINKLATER.)

(By w. A. LINKLATER.)
Not only do hogs reproduce rapidly
and mature early, but their gains in
live weight are secured on less feed
than in the ease of cattle or sheep.
In addition to giving good returns for
feed and care, the finished hog always
has a money value. No matter how
hard the times may be, the hog al
ways can be sold for cash at nearby
livestock markets. These markets pay
a premium for well fattened hogs of
good quality. Thin hogs and pigs
weighing under $50 pounds are not
wanted by butchers or packers and,
consequently, sell at considerably less
per pound than well finished, heavier
hogs. The per cent of pork of good
quality a hog will dress out; deter
mines its value.
Breed and color are not factors In
determining market price to any ex-
tent. but breed and color may be fac
tors of Importance to hog raisers.
In the matter of cheap pork produc'
ton, one breed can not be said to
have any advantage over the others.

Hereford as seef Breed.

The Hereford derives it's name from
it's native district in England
The most popular color and mark
ings are dark claret or cherry, white
face, throat, chest, legs, belly and
small strip of white on neck and be
fore the shoulders. The horns are
medium TO long, white and generally
turning outward.
This breed represents the type that
is suitable fer the largest production
of beef as IT is low set and broad

DOGS ANCESTRY a PUZZLE
Naturalists by No Means Agreed as to
How the Present Favorite of Man
Really Has Descended.

NaturaIists and the world at large
seem to generally accept the theory
THAI the domestic dog is, in some
sense. a collateral descendant OF the
wolf or iackal, says Harper's Weekly.
A professor in the Natural History
museum of Paris has communicated
results of his study of various canine
skulls to the Academy of Sciences.
He appears to have noticed certain
peculiarities of growth which have
hitherto escaped biologists.
He states that the skull Of almost
every species of wolf and jacket differs
from the skull of the shepherd dog to
an extent that makes it impossible
that this dog should belong in the
same classification. The skull OF the
Indian wolf. on the contrary, shows
some points of resemblance. This, IN
| deed is the only savage canine the
top of whose head projects Ill that
Of our dog.
There are, moreover, other charac-
teristics which the Indian wolf has in
common with the dog. and which the
ordinary wolf does not share with
them. although his origin and that of
the dog have long been supposed to be
a common one.
The conclusion of this scientist is
that the Indian wolf is the progenitor
of the shepherd dog and the blood
hound. There were two primitive

GRADING is MOST IMPORTANT
Growing sf crops-careful CultI-
walton Lessons CuIls.

The most important operation in
preparing fruit and vegetables for
market is the grading The work
should be started in the field with the
growing of the crops. Careful cultiva-
ton means fewer culls and less ex-
pense for sorting and grading. Uni
formity is the principal requirement
to be considered in grading and
packing. Growers should not attempt
to handle and market their crops un-
less they pack them in uniform pack
ages and grade them so that they will
present uniform quality and general
appearance. Produce put up in good
shape will appear to the best advan-
tage at the time of sale Markets are
seldom oversupp6Al with good fruits
and vegetables: it is the unevenly rip
ened, poorly developed, badly selected
produce that Injuries the sale of the
better products. Produce of all kinds
should be~sorted so that in each pack
age each specimen is as nearly like
the, others as is practicable. The eff
ficient grader has in mind the appear
ance of the whole package, and not
the individual specimens. This work
can seldom be overdone, for the more
rigid the grading the greater will be
the profits at the time of sale.

fail to show any breed uniformly supe
rior to the others in economy of
gains. Pure bred and high grade
hogs are, however, admittedly superior
to scrub hogs in this respect.
A snort description of three most
popular breeds of hogs may be of as
sistance to farmers who are pur'
chasing hogs.
The Poland China is a highly de-
veloped type of fat hog, early matur.
ing, medium prolific, usually of good
quality and disposition. In selecting
breeding stock of this breed special
effort should be made to secure pigs
from large filters. the greater per
cent of which have been raised.
The Duroc Jerseys belong to the fat
hog type. They are prolific, medium
early maturing, medium as to quality
and disposition. In selecting breed.
ing stock of this breed, select pigs
that are low set, deep bodied and with
plenty of width of body.
Berkshires are prolific, of good
quality, medium early maturing, and
medium quiet and mild in disposition
The young pigs are rather of bacon
type, but we'll fed and finished they
mature into a good type Cd fat hog
It is important to select breeding
stock comparatively low-set and show
ing good width Of middle and hind
quarters, and mild dispositions.
Good blood is as important in the
case of hogs as in the case of any
other class of livestock, and, consid
ering the small investment necessary
to purchase a pure bred male, or one
or more pure bred sows, it will seem
sound business wisdom for every hoe
raiser to breed only pure bred or high
grade hogs. The breed chosen Is OF
secondary Importance to the type and
quality of the individuals.
Young pigs make the most econom
ical gains while they are young. The
mothers should be fed well before the
pigs are weaned and the young pigs
= be given a liberal ration that will
produce rapid growth as soon as they
are weaned. 1t takes more grain to
make gains as the pig gets older, SC
that 1t Is important that pigs be fin
ished for market as early as possible
Regardless of the breed, hogs, like
other classes of stock, thrive best
when they are comfortable. They
need shade and plenty of clean water

ing quarters in the winter.

the fruit as dark broWnish or

It grows on the tree seems to be af-
fected more than the lower portion.
This shows that very likely the spores
come from the branches above those
upon which the peaches grow. The
trouble is always worse in closely set
orchards, where shade is dense. and it
is also found to be worse in the cen
ter rather than on the outside rows OF
such orchards. This is due, no doubt.
to the more moist condition found in
such orchards. A comparatively moist
season is more favorable for the
growth of the fungus than dry one.
t can be controlled by spraying the
trees in fall and winter with Bordeaux
mixture.
