Homemade Remedy For Treatment Of

Infested Animals.
Colts, cattle and live stock may be
treated for lice, but unless the guar

they will constantly be a peg1. All

moved, the partitions, floors, ceilings
and hangers should be whitewashed
or sprayed with any good lic% disin-
fectant, and this should be repeated
in ten days to make a thorough job

Agriculturist.
For treatment Of the infes:e ed ami
mails any Of the coal tar sheep dips
now on the market will anss7er the
purpose. All infested parts slould be
carefully wiped with the solution, and
there is no objection to going over the

RIBBON TRIMMED HATS.
Hats for the business woman should
be becoming and neat and such that
wind and gain will touch them but
lightly. These two elements are sure
to act disastrously on any hat after a
time. A hat which is trimmed with
tulle, gay flowers or q mass Of plumes
will be shorn of it's elegance by the
first lively spring breeze or soaked to
q shapeless pulp by the copious April
showers.
This season the vogue of fancy straw
bows combined with we'll wired ribbon
ones makes the hat problem of the
business woman much simpler. The
attractive and stylish hat with the silk
or satin crown is, however, not for
her.
A close fitting hat of well woven
straw, with a simple ribbon trimming
like that of either of the hats illustrat
ed here. would he a wise choice.

HEAVY CROP ON
FLORIDA SOIL
CULTIVATION OF rnE GOOBER
IN THIS STATE HAS PASSED
THE EXPERIMENTAL STAGE
$50 PER ACRE.

At every setting of the moon comes
additional evidence that what can be
produced in any country or section can
be successfully grown on the rich sand
soils of Florida undel the beneficial
climatic conditions here. All the re-
quirements are good sense and the
propensities for hard labor to reap
abundant returns. Now comes a re
port from St. Augustine Record that
peanuts promise to form one of the
big staple crops of St. Johns county
in the future. The experimental stage
has passed and practical cultivation
of the goober proves that it is more
profitable than potatoes and is a sure
crop.
"A. w. Corbett has several acres
planted to peanuts and his most SAN
guine expectations have been surpass-
ed. The peanut is only one of several
crops that can be raised on the same
land within the year. Mr.. Corbett
planted potatoes and followed that
crop with corn, planting the peanuts
between the rows of corn. His pota-
toes yielded him a handsome profit
and corn is bringing top notch prices.
The peanuts, however, promise the
extra fine quality and the yield is
will net hin? $50 per :-.-, and his es-
timate is very conservative. as the
prospects are that they will exceed
the figure mentioned.
THE soil and climate seem to be
adapted to the culture of the peanut
ground that has not been fortified.
AS the peanut is staple it will no
doubt be largely cultivated in this vic
Unity in future years."-EXchange

experts who have made a careful study
of conditions in the county state posi-
lively that there is every indication
of the occurrence of oil strata. and 1t
is the belief Of those who have taken
UP the matter that the eXperimnts will
result in bringing in another great oil

1t is pointed out that the location
of the county, at the loot of the APP
palachian range of mountains. which
has been the Oldest and best gas and
oil producing range in the United
States, is in itself sufficient to warrant
experimental work, but in addition to
this II is stated that the surface indi-
cations are similar to those in the
great oil producing sections OF the
country-practically the same as in
the Texas fields. The test wells will
be sunk to depth Of from 1000 to g.
600 feet and it is tie purpose to sink
at least five in various sections of the
county.

concerns is the American Sumatra
Toba eco Co. which grows practical
~ all of its own tobacco upon farms
scattered about in various parts Of
the county, although this concern also
buys in large quantities from the
growers. Some of the others grow 2
portion of the tobacco they handle. but
the greater part is purchased direct
from the grower after the leaves are
placed in the barns for curing.
The growing of first class tobacco is
an art that is acquired only by eX
perienCe and the successful grower is
the man who cultiVates comparatively
small acreage and who gives the weed
the fertilization necessary and the eX-
treme care demanded. Several years
ago. when the price of Gadsden county
tobacco reached 81 per pound there
was d boom in the business, and the
result was the production of an in
