unanimous for the bonds.
The meeting was presided over by
Hon. Forrest Lake, president OF the
Commercial club. who explained the
situation and told the assemblage
in a clear and concise manner the
benefits of the good roads and the
approximate cost of the same. Some
twenty citizens from different parts
of the county followed him and a
free and open discussion was the re-
suit. 1t will be the duty of the
| members of the Commercial Club to
get all the data available on the
matter and campaign will be in

gold was exchanged for bank bills

RURAL CARRIERS MUST
ABANDON THEIR MOTOR
CYCLES AND WHEELS

Washington, D. c., Aug. 23.-
Every rural carrier in Florida who
delivers mail by motorcycle will
have to abandon that vehicle on
Jan. next, under an order just
issued by Postmaster General Burle-
son. The same order prohibits the
use Of bicycles. In an announce
ment giving the reasons for this Or
der the postoffice department says:
"It is estimated that at times dur
ing the year bicycles and motor
cycles are useed on about 5000
routes. It is held that this type OF
vehicle does not have the carrying
capacity needed for the parcel post
service. The elimination of bicycles
and motorcycles also will tend TO
equalize the working conditions or
the carrier force, and carriers using
motorcycles are especially liable to
injury, a fact of importance in view
Of the provisions of the act OF March
6, 1914, under which payments are
authorized in cases of carriers IN
jured or killed while on duty.
No Good in Rain
"In bad weather it is imposslpie
TO protect the mail carried on motor
cycles. The carrier using motor

SANITARY FLOORS
IN DAIRY STABLE
Concrete Is Best and Should
Be Used When Building Is
BEING Erected.

Brick or concrete are the only
floors one can safely say are sanitary.
Brick should be laid upon a good SUBJ
base, and if this is not a good firm
foundation it should be well tamped
before laying the brick.
The brick floor having been com
pleted the cracks should be filled with
mixture of cement and sand. The
proportion which will best fill the re-
quirements is one part cement to one
and one-half parts of good, clean sand.
This should be mixed thin enough
to spread easily and then swept into
the cracks with heavy barn broom
or steel brush. Such a floor will be
found very sanitary and not so slip
perry as concrete.
Concrete is the best and most sani-
tary floor that can be used in a dairy
barn, and effort should be made to
have such floors installed whenever a
barn is being constructed. When stable
floors become dangerous, making IL
necessary to replace them, concrete
should always be used if the floors rest
upon the ground

ALFALFA AND OATS
FOR DRAFT COLTS
Greedy, Mature Horses Often
Eat Too Much and Suffer
From lmpaction.

Growing draft colts have seldom, II
ever, been injured by eating too much
alfalfa and oats. Mature horses of a
greedy disposition, if allowed to run
to alfalfa racks at will, may eat too
much and suffer attacks of impaction.
Draft mares heavy in foal, and taking
but little exercise, not infrequently
suffer from attacks of this nature. An
alfalfa pasture is splendid place to
develop draft colts with a maximum
Of bone and muscle.
Some complaint comes from the
humid regions to the effect that mares
on alfalfa pasture during the breeding
season are hard to get in foal. This
trouble seems to be more or less local
and can be prevented by temporarily
keeping the mares in other pastures.
An alfalfa patch forms splendid
night pasture for work horses, provid-
ing they are used to it and are turned
out regularly.
Good, well-colored alfalfa is of prac-
tically the same composition as wheat
bran, aid is of equal value to it in the
horse ration.
