FlOrida'S Resources
Have Hardly
Been Tapped

Writing from Crooked Lake to the
Jackson lMichD Patriot, E. w. Bar
Der says:
Any observant person can easily see
that Florida's resources have scarce
ly been tapped. Our country is
growing rapidly. Its present hun
dred million inhabitants will soon
be two hundred million. with free
dom of trade and intercourse. Two
thirds of them will live in cities and
must be fed. South Florida is the
earliest garden land in the United
States. Truck farming pays. j. R.
Davis of Polk county is leader in
this industry. He is reported to
have cleared fifty thousand dollars
year.
The past winter and this spring
he had about 20 acres of English
peas; big lot of squash and Irish
potatoes; shipped 10 cars of early
sweet potatoes and has - acres of
the Jersey variety, which he thought
would yield 500 bushels per acre;
intends TO plant 40 acres for his
next crop; has % acres of cabbage
and the same OF egg plant; 60 acres
of tomatoes and 80 of snap beans.
He was in the thick of his work in
February. Near the Crooked Lake
station is large acreage of good
truck land
If the improved farms in the
United States produced per acre
crop values equal to the cultivated
land in Florida the output OF all the
farms would be worth over four bill
lion dollars year more than they
are now. The figures OF the 1910
census show this. Garden and
chicken products are included.
According to the census tables.
Florida raised crops on l.2zz,G7<
acres valued at $2l54 an are.

Joseph as meaning there would be

CAULIFLOWER NOT
HARD TO MANAGE
Rich Earth and Abundance of
Moisture Are Two Most I'M
portant Factors.

Many consider the culture of cauli-
flower the same as cabbage. In many
respects it is similar, but 1t differs in
a number of ways.
In many of the southern states the
caulifower plants are set out in au-
tumn and they live through the win
ter and head up quite early in the
spring. In the central or northern
portion of the country the plants are
grown in early spring. and kept in
hotbeds Of only moderate heat, or in
cold frames, and in either case should
be given plenty of room and a free
circulation of air to prevent the plants
being too spindling or tender. For late
or autumn caulif1ower, the seed may
be sown in May or early June.
Very rich earth and abundance of
moisture are the two most important
factors in the culture of caulitiower.
Close proximity to lakes. streams or
the sea helps to insure a good crop,
as the dews ara so much heavier.

Lost Life in Work of Rescue.

A lifeboat man persisted at Worth

tempt of the crew of the lifeboat Rich
ard Coleman to reach the schooner
Kingsmill in distress. The craft was
launched in record time. Some SOL
diers lent a hand, several going waist
deep into the water to get the life
boat clear of the beach Tremendous
seas, such as Coxswain Marshall said
he had never experienced before,
caused the 1ifeboat to capsize, but
it was of self-righting pattern and the
crew were soon back in their places.
A little later the lifeboat capsized
again and the drenched crew were
once more thrown into the water.
This time one of the men, Jack Bur-
gess,- failed to get back. His body
was recovered by men on the shore.

her the schooner had been driven
ashore.

Most farmers seem to breed the
cow with no concern as to her re-
sourcefulness or enduring qualities.
She is bred at an early age; bred
again just as soon as she will come in
heat after her first calving; held right
to her milk as nearly as possible to
the next calving time, and handled
thus until she is worn out, and no
longer useful.
With such management, her un-
born calf will have much of its susie
nance taken from it on account of the
nourishment going toward keeping up
the cow, which results in weakened
offspring, and this influence gradually
Yields a most deteriorating effect on
the grade of the herd in general, since
each succeeding calf will be still more
undesirable than the one before it.
We have seen cows whose nature
rebelled against such treatment, and
invariably these animals positively re-
fused to come in sufficient heat to be
gotten with calf. This shows, con-
clusively, that the cow requires and

Kidding POULTRY
OF LICE is URGED
Chickens Enjoy Natures Way by
busting in Light, Dry Earth
Best Dust Baths.

Natures way of Kidding poultry OF
lice is frequent busting of light, dry
earth. Chickens seem to enjoy moth
ing better, and certainly nothing does
them more good.
Birds are sometimes yarded on the
farm to prevent their getting into the
garden, but wherever they are they
should be provided with some sort OF
a dust bath.
In the summer the best dust baths
are made by spading places in the
yard, each about yard square a.id
ten inches deep. If there are any
stones in the dirt, it should be sifted.
Care must be taken to have the dirt
fine and free from pebbles, or the
hens will not use it. Make the PLACE
where the sun can shine on it, SO as
to keep the dirt dry, and after every
rain the dirt should be turned over
with a spade or fork.
IF they can have such plate to
dust themselves. the fowls will easily
keen their bodies free from lice

WORK AROUND FARM
DURING THE SPRING
Good Plan to Clip Work Horses
Clean Seed Before Planting
Gull Poultry Flock.

Mighty good plan to clip the horses
before the spring work begins-but
not too soon.
Do not rush the work in the gardens.
Time will be saved by waiting until
the ground gets warm, no matter what
the date may be.
Are you going to SOW seed without
cleaning it, and then raise a big crop
of weeds? Buy, beg or borrow fam
ming mill.
Never buy seed from dealer in a
PARKWAY city, unless he is willing to
guarantee that it is pure. If he will
not guarantee his seed, be sure it is
wrong.
Getting seed corn from the crib in
the same old, haphazard way this
spring? Or, perhaps you are paying
fancy prices to dealers rather than
save your own seed? Either way is
bad business.
Do not let the trees from the nursery
lie in the wind a single hour without
covering with a wet gunny sack or
damp earth. The latter is better.
Best way is to have your nursery
orders in long before planting time,
with instructions to ship when you are
ready to receive them, and not day
before.
Get rid of all the fuzzy-wuzzy old
hens and ROSTERS. Remember that
any hen over two years old is not
worth her keep.
It is pity to put sitting hens, or
hens with chicks, into old, louse-rid-
den houses, when bit of burning sui
phur, a spraying with kerosene and
soap, or whitewashing will make the
premises sweet and clean. Going to
try it?
Rake every bit of rubbish from the
orchard, leaving not thing under
which a bug may hide to hatch out
trouble later. Suppose it does take
few hours to do it-how can we en-
ploy the time to better advantage?
If the garden is plowed too early it
will be lumpy, and things vegetable
will not do we'll on Jumps. Harrow and
disk, and then again, and once more,
until the ground to the depth of six
inches is fine and fluffy.
