Some most useful booklets for
farmers and others interested in ag-

The works in question are entitled

Management of the Flocks," "More

Destroy the Cattle Tick"
The tick is the only real detriment
to the complete success of the live

ed that some emphatic legislation will
be enacted by the next legislature to
back up the efforts now being made

WHY NOT MORE FIGS?

The fig is one of the neglected
fruits of Florida. 1t is hardy, will
stand neglect and abuse, and RESPOND
generously when properly cared for
1t is spoken of more frequently in
the Bible than any other fruit. 1t is
long-lived and will bear fruit in its
first year, and when fully matured
will bear from thGce 70 six bushels
to the tree, and from one hundred to
two hundred trees can be grown to
the acre.
The fig makes a most delicious pre-
serve and the thrifty southern house
wife usually has some put up for COM
pany, from fruit gathered from neg
lected tree in the back yard. Pre-
served figs are among the high-priced
delicacies in northern markets, and
that it is so is only another example
of the American disposition to over
look an opportunity.
The fig is not only an excellent food
but it has medicinal properties and
should be more widely used. 1t will
be some day, and bring money to
those who exploit it. There are ma
ny varieties of this valuable south
ern product.
Every Putnam county farmer
should at least have-a fig tree or two
in his yard

THE GEOLOGY AND
WATERS OF FLORIDA.

The board Of trade is il receipt
from the U. S. Geological Survey at
Washington OF a volume Of 40 pages
entitled Geology and Ground Wa
tiers of Florida" The geology and
waters of each county, VITA details
relating to typical wells, are given.
putnam county is described by George
C. Matson, who finds drteaian wells
of various pressures, some forcing
water as high as 25 feet aboTe the
surface of the ground, and sc.eral
kinds of water, soft, hard, sulphur.
iron, salt and Chalybeate, a variety
not generally equalled elsewhere in
the State in quantity and excellence.
Welaka has a mineral well of unu-
sual medical virtues.
The largest source of supply of wa
ter in Putnam county is obtained from
the Pleistocene and Pliocene deposits,
at depth of about 200 feet, and usu-
ally soft. Deep wells going into the
Vicksburgian limestones give sup
ply of hard water. Small springs are
numerous in the county, and extensive
shell and mari beds. With the st.
Johns river and tributaries giving
surface supply and spacious under
ground supply, Putnam county is ia
vored, as few other counties in the
State. Some of the artesian wells OF
Putnam have the strongest pressure
in the State.
1t will be of interest to our readers
to say that the establishment of the
Florida Geological Survey was au-
thorized by bill introduced and sue
cessfully advocated by DR.. E. S. Grill
of Palatka, the honored president of
the East Florida Savings Bank.

| CHILDREN'S
HOME SOCIETY.

We are just in receipt of copy of
the eleventh annual report of the
Children's Home Society of Florida,
the only Statewide and undenor,na-
tional charity in Florida supported
entirely by voluntary contributions,
gifts and donations.
The Home Society has done Won
dN4ul work during the past year Tor
the little homeless and needy chill
dren of the State, and every citizen
il Florida should get copy of the
last report and see for themselves
Just what the people of Florida are
dong through this Society for its
little unfortunates.
The report tells of TT homeless,
orphan and abandoned children
which came under the care 81 TIE
Home Society last year, this being
more children than were provided for
in all the other institutions for chill
dren in the entire State combined.
Not single child had to be kept
in the State Receiving Home at
Jacksonville, for hundreds of good
family homes were ready to receive
every one of them, even the little
defective and unattractive ones.
President Wilcox, Treasurer R. V.
Covington and Supt. Marcus C. Fagg
are sending out very urgent appeal
for funds with the report, as the So
ciety is practically without funds to
carry on its work, and many children
are coming under the care of the So
