MORE NATAL HAY GOSPEL

Somhe people may get tired Of
reading of the advantages of pro-
duci1g Natal hay, but we never grow
weary of calling attention to any of
south Florida's advantages, so here
goes for little more Natal hay gos-
pei from the st. Cloud Tribune,
everlastingly-at-it booster of Osceo-
la county.
1t makes no difference what 1t Is,
if it grows from seed it will grow
to success in Osceola county, and
that fact has been demonstrated by
Mr.. C. H. Morsman, who owns and
operttes an extensive farm on the
road to Kissimmee couple of miles
from St. Cloud.
MIR. Morsman came sere simething
over & year ago from Nebraska and
purchased this tract of land. Being
a farmer and grower of hay of years
experience. he knew good land when
he saw it, and after studying the
| needs of this country, decided that
stock feed was the most important
He at once began putting his land in
shape for cultivation, and this past
spring planted corn, beans and sew
eral varieties of grass. Each crop
proved the list. and the coming year
that will be the main crop.
| First-class timothy hay costs in
the .oiehborhood of $35 ton, and
alfalfa is a shade higher. while our
native hay is bringing $40 Natal
grass will produce from six to eight
sold for as low as $25 ton, it will
be a most remunerative crop to
plant.
'.There is n question but what
Natal grass will do as well here as
it will anywhere" said Mr.. orsman,
for | have as good crop as a man
would want. and it Is as good a
brand of hay as man ever fed to
stock The question Of stock feed is
what has kept the country back, but
firmly believe that the question Is
solved in the growing of Natal grass
The practise of buying stock feed
from the west has kept these people
groka and their cattle half fed, but
now that they have found good
feed they can grow abundantly
they will have plenty of dollars in
their pockets and better grade OF
cattle in their pastures"
A large number of people have
visited Mr.. Morseman's farm. ant
without exception they declare that
the man who plants Natal grass sect
is the man who is going to become
independent.-Ta Tampa Times.

M Effects Of Worry.

The effect of worry upon the In
ternal glands has not been fully
studied. Enough is known. however
to assure the physician that it affects
the secretions of these glands very
seriously through the sympathetic
nerves. It thus becomes an important
agent in producing exophthalnic goitel
and a train of other ills that can only
be defined when the real functions
Of the glands in question are more
adequately studied.

Japan and China are countries

only supply being imported from for.

Asia Minor, the important part OF

Armenia and Kurdistan have a pop-
