THE PROHIBITORY AMENDMENT.

| Federal prohibition OF the manu-
facture and sale Of intoxicating liquors
thru an amendment to the constitution
will be seriously considered by the
present congress Undoubtedly there
will be vote on submitting sutn an
amendment to the states. This vote
will be something of test OF the
growth Of prohibition sentiment
There has been no time in the past
when much support could have been
mustered for a national prohibitory
amendment. 1t is expected that It will
make a notable showing in the COM
ing test vote. In South Dakota both
the minority and majority candidates
in the Second congressional district are
pledged to vote for 1t. That is one
sure vote from South Dakota. Senator
Crawford, candidate for reelection.
when Intercepted. promptly announced
that he would vote for the amendment.

J, With characteristic Indifference to-
ward the inquiring public mind. Mr..
Burke refuses to state how he will
vote on the amendment. He may hope
to secure both temperance and saloon
votes by keeping silence. His thought
Of fooling his constituents may not
take so we'll in contrast with the
frankness OF Crawford and his readi-
ness to let the people know just where
he stands on any public question.
It is too much to expect that the
democratic congress will vote TO sub.
nit national prohibitory amendment

spectacle minority vote. the national
prohibition campaign will be greatly

PICNIC AT TURNER'S POND

The picnic at Turner's Pond was q
complete success and everybody had
good time. There were present peo-
pie from all over the county, and a
good many from other counties. The
candidates were all there with the
exception of Mr.. Henderson and Mr..
John Graham.
When the candidates had finished
speaking Hon. H. w. Long made us a
short talk, which was greatly enjoy
ed.
About one o'clock, after the good
ladies had spread tehir splendid din
ner, Mr.. J. D. Williams invited all to
partake thereof.
Rev. Mann was called upon, and
pronounced a blessing upon the good
things spread before the crowd.
Much of the success of the picnic
is due to the untiring efforts of Mr..
J. d. Williams, who was everywhere
at the same time, seeing that all had
good time.

FiFTY-SIx POUND MELON

There is on exhibition at the bank
ing establishment of Munroe and
Chambliss a 56-pound melon, that
looks mighty good to us. 1t is long
and slender, with a coloring that in
dicates that the meat is red, luscious
and delicious. In boyhood days it
was regarded as a species of fun to
steal watermelons, and when we
saw this one the old feeling-the old
Adam in us-came uppermost, and if
the bank officials had not kept such a
watchful eye upon it it probably
would have disappeared.
This beautiful melon was grown by
Mr.. c. H. Cooner, formerly of Can
der, an odl friend of Mr.. z. C. Cham
bliss, the popular vice president of
the bank.

Editor Wright, of the Grower, says
that kaolin deposits extending for
miles have been discovered on the
south side of Lake Harris just a few
miles south of Leesburg. Experts
say that there are millions of tons of
this valuable mineral awaiting min
ing operations. Two mining plants
have already been established and
are now III successful operation. The
output of these mines is at present
greater than it has ever been and the
deposits are so large as to be at the
present rate of mining practically in
exhaustible. The only drawback at
tending the successful progress OF the
industry is the high rate of freights;
but this is expected to be obviated
when the Oklawaha river improve
ments are completed, giving water
transportation to all of this region.

SOME LOST ARTS

According to the Times-Union, Col.
Henry Watterson apprehended ma
tional disaster on learning by person
al investigation that New York. does
not appreciate Southern cookery.
1t is probable that Col. Watterson's
apparent consciousness of the depre-
citation in the Northern mind of the
goodness of Southern cookery is bas-
ed on the fact that two Or three i'm
portant items are no longer on the
Southern menu. The Colonel recalls,
no doubt with sadness, that up to
about 1870 there was bread called
corn-brea and which is no longer
known except in limitation form.
That was before the day of bolted
corn-meal and cream separators
Then, too, there was once bread
known as ginger-cake, and of which
the Colonel doubtless has pleasant
memory. That was before the day of
the mills which grind exceeding fine
and before the day of syrup-making
by the evaporation process.
We share in Col. Watterson's la.
mentation, for, alas, Southern corn
bread and Southern ginger-cake are
no more, and our sympathy is with
the North in that the North does not
know Southern cookery as it once
was.
But every cloud has silver lining,
and the Colonel should cheer up. The
o'possum is still with us, and the di-
| rections for preparing and serving
are still as of yore. They begin with
first catch the possum," and every
Southern cook knows the rest.
Elk President Taft made the ac-
quaintance of baked 'possum on a
visit to Atlanta and has wanted more
ever since.
But, after all, our Northern friends
do not know what real Southern cook
ing is, for the dishes prepared in
Southern kitchens by cooks who know
how, are unexcelled for their good
ness.-Tarpon Leader.

WINTER LAYERS
BY A. P. Spencer.
From Press Bulletin 213, Florida
Experiment Station.)

It is the early spring matches that
give the layers for the coming faii
and winter, and not the early winter
and late spring matches. Many pull
lets that would begin to lay about
November are sold or used for broil-
ers or fryers during June or July. If
these pullets were kept, and those
from the earlier or later matches were
sold. as also the hens over two years
old. there would be more eggs pro-
duced during the winter.
Winter-Hatched PuIlets
The chickens Matched in January
and February should be used for
meat, as they are not likely to be
layers next fall. They get their
growth early in the season; mott dur
ing July and August, and rarely lay
until January or February, when the
price of eggs is declining.
spring-Hatched PuIIets
The March and April matches are
most likely to give pullets that will
begin laying in November, and keep
it up until March. These pullets will
begin laying before they are old
enough to mott. They are not likely
to mott after once starting to- lay,
wleen the weather is cool. They will
nnt W or
the first year, and will continue lay
ing until spring.
Pullets that are Matched in May or
later will not grow so fast during the
summer, especially during the season
of rains, and will mott in the late fall.
They will not usually begin laying
until spring, when the price of eggs
is lowest.
If the pullets Matched in March and
April are forced by heavy feeding and
kept in small yards, they, too, will
mott during August and September.
In this case there is little probability
of their laying before the middle of
January. But these spring pullets,
if kept thrifty and given plenty of
outdoor exercise, with a fair amount
of feed, are not likely to mott in the
first season.
The Second Summer
After April 1st the price of eggs
usually declines, and stays low dur
ing most of the summer. The pullets
should not be encouraged to lay then.
Reduce their feed, but still feed them
regularly, and turn them out of the
yards to pick green feed and bugs.
These hens, now one year old, will
mott the second season. about July
Is, and will be ready to start laying
again in November. If well handled,
they should lay throughout the win
ter season.
Old Hens Not Productive
After having laid eggs for two sea-
sons the hens should be marketed for
meat. There is always a scarcity of
poultry meat in spring, and one can
sell hens at a good price then, and
save the expense of continued feed
ing. 1t will not usually be profitable
to keep hens for a third season. Each
year enough pulltes should be saved
to take the place of the older hens
sold off.

enactment of the prohibition law
will put out of business?
