Natural Grazing

Statistics, which our observations
verify, show that the cattle and hog
growing industry of Florida is max
ing great strides forward.
The increased number of cattle
grazing the woods and fields is very
noticeable to a person travelling
through the country. Just now the
grass is very fine and conditions are
most favorable to raise the little
range calves of which there have
been tens of thousands dropped in the
past few weeks. One noticeable fea-
ture of the range is that the cut-ove1
lands, now well denuded of timber
make far better grazing lands thar
formerly.-Ocala Star.

Some very undesirable picture pos
tails are being sold in Florida. These
postals show pictures of rattlesnakes,
alligators and the razor-back hog,
and they most assuredly do not do
credit to the great state of FLORIDA
and are not now typical of conditions
as they exist here. These cards
might have been somewhere near the
truth fifty years ago, but they are
now out Of date fully that many
years. Tt viii be fine thing for the
state press to take this matter up in
an effort to secure the cooperation
of sellers of picture postals with an
idea of inducing them not to handle
picture-cards of this kind and char.

cARRANzA's DEFIANCE.

Carranza's ultimatum, that the presence
of American soldiers on Mexican soil con-
stitutes an act of invasion which he will
be forced to repel .by force of arms IN
less our troops are voluntarily withdrawn
by the Washington government, ito
everybody who understands the relative
strength of the two countries-as wild an
extravaganza as could we'll be compressed
within twelve thousand words.
Washington officials are inclined to take
the whole matter as bluff whereby Car
rama hopes to save his face with the Mexi-
can people; and by all the rules of the
game, this is the only logical interpreta-
ton.
Carranza must have had very similar
feelings when he indited the document;
but there is one thing that prevents SO
hopeful an Interpretation of the missive,
and that is the character of the Mexican
people themselves.
If our motives were ten thousand times
more disinterested than they always have
been, they would not be able to eradicate
the intense anti-American feeling south of
the Rio Grande The people at large are
ignorant of conditions, have no press, are
unable to read, and have been led by I'M
scrupulous politicians, or insurrectos, to
believe that Mexican valor expelled the
Americans from Vera Cruz; that our pres
ent expeditionary force has been forced to
retreat before the victorious onrush Of the
La Paloma-singing legions; that President
Wilson and his cabinet have scurried to
Canada for safety.
These things are sincerely believed in
Mexico; and amazing as it may sound, it
is nevertheless fact that the Mexican
leaders were never more serious in their
lives than when they drew up the plan Of
Guadalupe to annex Texas and other Dor
der states.
It is almost impossible to discuss the
subject without appearing chimerical but
no doubt the refusal of 116 Texas militia
men to answer the call has been magnifed
to mean that in the event of hostilities
Mexico will receive able allies in seeding
American states, eager to throw off the
the tyranny of the Colossus of the North
When the entire Mexican people commit

| petition has been endeavoring to quel1 II

most potent weapon will be the same a:
General SCOTS, in At: gold, wherewith tc
pay cash for supplies which the Mexican
forces will take on credit for the Glory o.
Independence and the Love of Patriotism
The country once reduced, must be held
as was the case with the Philippines. Hae
Carranza been able to control northern
Mexico, bandit acts of aggression coulc
never have occurred against the United
States; United States troops would not b.
in Mexico today; the people of Mexico
would not be preparing to repel an invader
Carranza's note is practically deed o
northern Mexico to the United States.

 Mulching consists of spreading ma nure or litter on the ground under plants and over roots. Mulching does not mean to spade the manure or litter in, nor to put 1t under the ground.
 Manure should be supplied occa- sionally as a surface dressing under evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs. Apply several inches in the autumn and work it into the soil in the spring.

HOW FLORAL NOVELTIES ARE
 DEVELOPED
By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

Anyone can cultivate flowers who has the necessary earth and seed At least, anyone can cultivate flowers of existing species, but the fad of the hour, the work of creating types, is very fascinating, and opens a new world to one who has been taught how nature works to make all things different. We who work with her find much delight in the new thoughts as well as the new creation.
 The value of a novelty depends upon it's popularity or use. It is Q great delight to the grower to discover a blossom which shows a decided ten dency to break away from established rules; to show the characteristics of new type. At once we feel a desire to help this development by selection or crossing This consumes time. By selection the new flower must be al- lowed to develop and seed, and the other plants destroyed. The seeds, when planted, must be again selected and the rogues destroyed.
 The rogues in the flower world are the plants that do not come true, and they must be destroyed After the selection has been made sufficiently, the type is fixed and the flower estab- iished.
 When crossing is done to develop novelties, two plants are selected for the parents of the new flower; two plants possessing qualities which, when blended, may produce desired results. These flowers are crossed and the seeds planted. The plant chil- dren are carefully watched until they develop and bloom; then selection Is made of the best for further develop ment. It may be something very beautiful will develop from the first cross; perhaps they are commonplace results only.
 The secret in developing novelties lies in being quick to see possibilities and then to develop the tendencies dis played by the flower.

Heavy Brocades.

Brocades, indeed all materials, have. strangely enough, a stiffness not so suggestive of youth as the frocks of which they are fashioned. Fabrics
 notably the failles and grosgrains, show metal medallons which hereto fore have not had a youthful appear ance. Yet so subtle is the art of looms Of today that these brocades are of a llghtness and piquancy of design which make them adaptable to youth lul frocks, says Vogue. In the more dignited gowns. brocades of all sorts some in the scroll patterns, some in allover patterns. and some merely with a large medallion on a back ground of grosgrain-will be used, but not to the exclusion of velvet or of the plain taffetas.

VARIOUS EFFECTS IN lACES
Novel Ideas Have Lately Been Intro duced, With Results That Are
 Most Gratifying.

Spangled allover faces are in opal escent effects, wave and floral designs for instance, a large orchid heavy with purplish spangles and silver. Laces in band, galloon, edging and all over designs are worked in frosty sil- yer or glittering gold. Some effects have touches of color with silver Black net with silver leaves is very handsome, and fleurs-de-lis in silver are charming on black or white.
 White nets have silver or gold span gles. Silk nets in lavender, violet, rose, flesh, light blues, yellow, cream. black, gray and tan are embroidered in silver or gold.
 Bolero jackets and fiounces with scalloped lace edge are novel when the net Is well covered with fine soutache braiding in lace patterns. The braid may be silk, silver, gold or steel, giv- ing a metal incrusted appearance Black chantilly lace is used for the skirt of dress under a metal silver tunic.

WITH YOUR HOUSE PLANTS

If possible arrange some kind of curtain, to cut off the window gar den from the rest of the room, when sweeping or dusting, or when airing the room during severe weather. Dust is very bad for the growing plants, and the cold air chills them, often be- ing fatal to the life of a plant.
 Keep water on the heating stove at all times, to supply the moisture. Once a week or oftener, when the weather is very cold and the air of room is, of necessity, dry and hot, put a horseshoe, or other piece of iron in the fire, and get it red hot. Then drop it in pail of water, set underneath the window garden.
 Do not be discouraged if your young plants seem to be stunted, and are slow of growth, and neglect them. All at once they will change their ways, and surprise you with their growth and beauty.
 Until one has seen a really well grown, so-called papyrus, or umbrella plant, one cannot realize it's decorat- ing possibilities. Like the calla, it likes plenty of water to stand in.
 The mealy bug, which resembles flour lodged in the axils of the leaves. can be dislodged with a strong spray of water. Tobacco tea, weak solu- tion of coal oil emulsion, whale oil, soapsuds, and equal parts of snuff and sulphur, applied with powder gun, will clean the plants of this pest.
 There are two methods by which you may decide if a plant needs wa ter by sound and by touch. When you tap the pot, and hear a hollow sound, and when you touch the sur face of the soil, and find it dusty, you may know your plants need watering.

 Town a Scene of Activity.
 Yes. it is town that receives them, town with civic life, a social life, amusements, and, above all, occu- pations. For, contrary to the general idea, while at the present time there are about 3,200 lepers in Culion a com- paratively small number of them are kept in hospital at any one time-per- haps about 400. Of these number are usually In for pneumonia, dysen- tery, malarial fever and other illnesses to which leprosy does not immunize victims.
 It Is decided surprise tc find the colony a scene of such activity and the effect is naturally immediately salutary for the incoming citizens And from the moment they leave the quar- antine buildings their entire life as- sumes new aspect. For many and many leper it Is the very beginning of life, even though 1t comes toward the end. That is Culion colony.

 In the unclean district the lepers are. But in the transition from the clean to the unclean, one has no inn pression that there is a ghastly con- trast between the two districts. Con- trary to the general notion that iep- rosy is a disease whose symptoms are the dropping off of fingers and toes

HoopskirtS Established.

Hoopskirts and bustles have estab- lished themselves in winter favor, but both confine themselves to picturesque adaptations of genuine hoopskirt and hustle fashions instituted years ago. The hoop is as likely to be located around the knees, or even the hips, as at the skirts hem, and the hustle is usually very inconspicuous arrange ment of crinoline, affording support to hip draperies. Bustles over the hips, indeed. are more often seen than the old-style bouffant effect at the back. The latest development of the hoop skirt idea is shown in handsome fur coat, fiaring well at the knees and held out from the figure by a stiffening of wire, hidden beneath the skunk fur border.

While Americans have been find ing and using much in the Philippines, perhaps they have never levied upon nature for a finer service than that at little Culion. The people whom it makes happy are the lepers.
 Making lepers happy-the phrase seems anomalous, because we have never thought of happiness in connec- tion with lepers We know that leper colony means isolation, one of the grimmest things we can imagine. and 1t never would occur to us that isolation under those particular cir cumstances could by any possibility be other than terrible and dreadful

It had three or four fish ing villages on it. of which the largest was Culion village It's inhabitants were transferred to nearby islands and the site of the old town of Culion was taken for the new leper colony.

RICH C0L0RS POPULAR
SU5OUEO TONES HAVE NO PLACE
 IN PRESENT FASHIONS.
Modes Show a Return to the Styles and Tints of the Eighteenth Cen tury-French Modstes Have
 FoStered Idea.

Despite the fact of black Spanish gowns, there Ia no cessation to the demand for bright cOlors. In the first season, when there has been an al legged lack of dyes, women in mass look like kaleidoscopes Their gowns fairly blaze in color, as they did dur ing the Renaissance. This is more par ticularly true of gowns for the eve ming than those for the street, thanks to the good taste of our women. In outdoor clothes, even when we choose red ar l green, we choose dark shades. Burgundy red and Robin Hood green are the fashionable tones.
 There is also a soft leather tone in duvetyn that looks like suede. which has crept in among the other street ones and which is very much liked; it is especially effective in top coats that are worn over black and dark blue gowns. and it lends itself easily to skunk for collar and cuffs
 In the evening, however, the picture changes. Not only are gorgeous colors fndulged in, but they are loaded down with gold and silver lace in the Vene- tian manner. Certain women have al ready taken up the idea of getting their house gowns from Venice, and the wearing of these is not out of keeping with the whole picture of eve ming clothes.
 Not only color, but a great deal of metal tissue is incorporated in clothes Doucet has sent over a vastly expen- sive but very lovely evening frock made of silver tissue, which is em- broidered in crystal flowers, in the in- tricate workmanship of the eighteenth century.
 Cheruit has introduced the idea of making loose bodices of silver tissue over short skirts of rich velvets, and another quite lovely evening gown is of blue and gold net over a skirt of gold tissues. One of the best gowns worn at the opera was of bright green velvet and lace over petticoat of sill yer lace, which was mounted on silver tissue. The gown was trimmed with wide bands of emeralds and rhine stones worked on silver net An effec- tive frock worn at one of the smart dances was of thin silver tissue, with short skirt bordered with Kolinsky. the bodice of silver tissue mounted over fresh pink tulle, the long, flow ing Italian sleeves of tulle edged with kolinsky, the white belt of black and white crystals. Beneath the short skirts were square pantalettes of sill yer lace and the slippers of silver tis- sue had oblong buckles of jet and crystal.
 Yet, in contrast to these gorgeous colors the new frocks are in blue and pink, the Vatican shades. Worth sends over pale rose brocaded satin gown trimmed with rhinestones, which is frightened by tulle; the price paid for it was nearly SLIGO, and the only reason that one is not rebellious over such price is that the money goes to French orphans.
