come generally recognized. and Lydia

the standard medicine for women.

I'VE started year ago in the face
Of the most discouraging conditions
to raise debt Of $4,000 on the

impossible thing to do and many said
foolish undertaking when the citi-
zens of Keokuk had given generously
to numerous other projects during the
year. All we had o-giye us courage
was our faith that it could be done
We had this general plan, that the
members of the association should
give all they could, then we would as
the women of the city do not belong

all, if we had to we would ask gifts

we ask the men first. The report l
am making tonight is only on the
gifts received from women and girls. |
We have, in pledges paid and In |
signed pledges $4,000. We have in |
to this, between four and |
five hundred dollars in oral pledges |
from women. We have assurance Of |
aid from the men of |
the city. The gifts have for

the greatest part has been given in

doing some task for love Of the asso-
citation We hope that every pledge
shall be paid by March 1. so that our
building may be free from debt and
that it can then be dedicated as 1t

MONEY IN FINE
STOCK IN FLORIDA

Out of 5000 head $50 large beef
steers were picked out and sold re-
Gently at st. Cloud, and these beeves
averaged over 600 pounds apiece.
This, probably, is as good as could be
expected where little or no attention
is paid the breeding, feeding or care
of stock, where ticks are allowed to
sap the vitality and retard the growth
from the day the animal is born until
it is put upon the market. In the
real cattle producing sections, where
the tick has been eliminated, and that
second worst enemy of the cattle in
dustry, the scrub bull, has likewise
been eliminated, six hundred pound
beef steer is an unknown quantity
Twelve, fourteen and sixteen hundred
pound beeves are the rule there. II
costs less per pound to produce a
twelve hundred pound steer than il
does a six hundred pound one, and
he brings more pound for pound than
does the light weight animal.
There is no reason why Florida
should not produce as fine stock as
any country in the world, and at as
little cost. All it will take to do it
is to eradicate the ticks, supply full
blood males, and provide proper feed
and shelter for them during the short
winter when foraging is poor. Let us
do this, and we will hear less of the
600 pound beeves.-Milton Gazette.
