Loyalty to Home Institutions
By W. A. McRAE Commissioner Of Agriculture

Young men who contemplate pro-
fessional life, by attending our home
schools, make the acquaintance and
win the friendship of hundreds of
others who are to become the future
men of affairs in Florida. At school
in Virginia, Tennessee or Kentucky,
means an acquaintance with those
whom the Florida boy may ever meet
again. The coming young men of
Florida, graduates of Florida Col
leges, have common interest in each
other.
Conditions are different in different
States. The laws are different.
Crops and material resources differ.
Manufacturing interests are different.
Therefore the need of young men and
women of a State being educated in
their own State in whatever may be
their bent, and at the same time IA
miliarizing themselves with all phases
of life in commonwealth in which
they are to play part. This will not
be an easy matter if the character
forming period is spent in distant
region.

University at Gainesville; the Florida

Normal Institute at Madison, compare
worthily with the best of any in the
land, and the work of each is annually
evident in scores of young men and
women who win records of having
been faithful and intelligent in their
studies, each going forth fully equip
ped with first aid needs in beginning
the battle of life. And with their
mental equipment THEY KNOW

Better Mothers.

Do you mothers ever wonder why
the fifth commandment is necessary?
Is it not strange that divine COM
mand should be needed to establish in
our children's hearts a feeling suppos-
ed to be cherished as an instinct?
Is it perhaps true that filial rever-
ence may now and then have reason
to grow critical and that an ordinance
from the Father of us all is necessary
to keep our over-thoughtful sons and
daughters in the proper attitude Of
mind?
Whatever the answer, we need only
to take a look at the mothers all
about us to realize that simple parent
hood is no guarantee of either the
sympathy or the wisdom that deserves
honor.
The world is tender and reverent
at heart for all it's wrong-doing, 1t
has placed crown on every mothers
brow. And we wear our crowns
complacently, each mother of us all,
but when it comes to individual worth,
who can say that we deserve them?
We count it virtue that we are will
ing to defend and guard our children,
forgetting that this impulse of val
liant defense of our young is simply
an instinct and one that we share with
the animals.
Something far wiser, sweeter, dear
err, than this is the test Of human and
ideal motherhood.
To die for your child-or even TO
live for ito give it the heart of
your own life-the strength-the
years-is but to follow the instinct
of the tiger, the lion, the cave woman.
The real test is that you teach your
child to live its own life, valiantly,
wisely and well, remembering that
when it comes to the truest love there
is a vigorous wisdom of incentive that
outweighs the most tremendous Of
personal sacrifices and that makes of
our boys and girls, men and women
worthy to do the great worlds work.

Woman's Magazine.

Keen Babies Well in Summer.

Summer is a poor time to expert
ment. No matter what food baby
is taking, if he is thriving or even
holding his own upon it, don't borrow
trouble. Let well enough alone,
and when cool weather comes we
can arrange more stimulating diet,
even though we may be sure he is
not getting the very best food now.
In feeding cows milk during the
summer months, the following sug-
gestions may be beneficial. Get the
freshest cows milk possible, and I'M
less you can rely upon its freshness,
which is difficult, boil it ten minutes
and keep on ice. Sterilize the bot
ties and nipples daily and keep them
away from flies. Sterilization and
pasteurization of milk does not make
a bad milk good, but simply keeps
if from getting worse than when re-
ceived, hence the quicker the heating
is done the better.
Do not use cream in hot weather.
Cream is a great heat producer, and
is not only unnecessary in hot wealth
err, but as it taxes digestion is a posi-
tive danger. 10 HoG pelHllt olSh'
of undigested milk to show in the
stools. In the winter, or with breast
fed babies, this may do little harm,
but in the summer it is danger sig
nal showing that the food is too
strong and demands further modifi-
cation. Do not over-feed babies
There is much more danger in over
feeding than in under-feeding. A
safe rule for the proper quantity to
be fed a baby is to give one ounce
more than its month of age. For in
stance, at birth feed one ounce, at one
month two ounces, four months, five
ounces, and so on up until eight ounc-
es or possibly ten. No rule will tit
every case, and strong babies may re-
ouire one-half ounce more than the
calculated quantity. Intestinal irri-
tation produces the same symptoms
as hunger, and if seemingly unsatis-
fled after the proper quantity has been
given there may be other explanations
than hunger.-"Baby Specialist" In
August Southern Woman's Magazine.

If "Buy at Home" is good slogan,
what's the matter with "Attend Flor
ida Schools 2"
Just at this time catalogs of schools
located in distant States are being
studied by parents in various parts
of Florida with a view of sending
their children to some of these far
away institutions.
Children of Florida parents will
leave in few weeks to resume their
studies in distant schools, the job of
catalog studying having been COM
pleted last year or the year before.
There are good schools in other
States, but they are no better than
we have in Florida. There may be
larger buildings and more students in
the schools of more populous States,
but the opportunities for acquiring
knowledge are just as good at
Gainesville, Tallahassee, DeLand,
Winter Park, Lake City, Sutherland,
Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and
other points in Florida, as at schools
we could name in other States. Dis
lance, however, seems to lend en-
chantment.
Boys and girls who leave Florida
and spend years away from the home
State form acquaintance Whom they
must leave behind when they return
comparative strangers to their own
community. Whatever the calling
is that may be contemplated by boy
or girl, it is better to get knowledge
of it among the people they expect
to live with.
No one can question the ability of
the teachers at the Florida State Uni
versity, The Florida State College for
Women, and our other Universities
and Colleges. Some are graduates
of great schools of learning in Am
erica and Europe, and have taught
in great schools. There are books
of reference on every possible topic
in the libraries of Florida schools
Every facility known to education IS
available.
The courses of study are compre-
hcnsive and complete.

Marion County Will Raise One Breed
of Hogs.

Marion county bankers have taken
a step which will make the county
famous for a breed of hogs. Repre-
sentatives from five banks met re-
Gently and set aside $1,000 for pig
club work in the county. Upon con-
sultation with r. w. Blackjack, agent
for the University of Florida Exten-
sion Division in that county, the
bankers stipulated that the money
should be spent for pigs of given
breed. The breed has not been Sc
lected but several breeders in the
county have agreed to change to the
breed selected as soon as possible
after decision is reached.
Boys in the corn club will become
members Of the pig club automatical-
ly if they care to join. The pigs will
be sold at cost. The boys will give
notes, bearing nominal interest,
which will mature in a year. No Sc.
curity will be required. The pigs
must be cared for according to pig
club rules.
The provision for the same breed
throughout the county is as wise as
furnishing the money. Uniformity
pays. Purchasers of that breed will
not only turn to Marion county, but
no trouble will be had in obtaining
carload shipments of uniform color,
size and breed. Packing houses pay
at least one-half cent more for car
of hogs that are uniform than they do
for car of mixed bredes and colors,
even though the two lots average the
same in weight, quality and age.
That $1,000 will place an appreci-
able number of purebred pigs in the
county. Within year the number
will be multiplied six or seven times.
1t should not be long until Marion
farmers and bankers and pig club
members feel the advantage of those
pigs.

Some of My Friends of the South.

I wish I might make some return
to the negro race for the service and
pleasure I have received from it. Once
I read somewhere some such thing as
this, Gall parents, if they only knew
it, live within the inner circle of art.
The curves, attitudes and motions Of
babies and growing children are the
very heart of it." Likewise l am sure
that we in the South may think of our
negro neighbors as an artistic asset,
for they are and have been just that.
To cut short any argument on the
point-how many literary people
among us owe their fame and fortune
to them? And why not? They are
unique.
1t would be difficult by any charm
of words to more than family trace
that CHEEKY thread In my life which
this dusky, kindly race has woven. l
have always lived in the South.
Through forty years the perpetual
pagentry of their everyday life, like
a moving picture film, has travelled
before lily eyes, their laughter has
rung in my ears, their humor has re-
called my heart. I am not even I'M
der the necessity of closing my eyes
to see it, as in endless but ever sur
prising procession the commonplace
but striking scenes appear and reap
pear. Nursed by negroes from the
cradle, fed. served, amused, taught
NY them, I have always been grateful
for their faithful ministry and unfail-
ing friendship.-Mrs. A. c. Water

The horses used in Homer's time
were war horses. The warriors were
drawn In chariots. The art Of riding
was known, but it is alluded to as
something unusual. Ulysses at the
time Of his shipwreck "bestrode a

There are reasons for believing that
the practice of riding was much later
than that Of driving, and the myth of
the centaur, where. according to Shake

+THE NORTH AND THE NEGRO+


The demand for labor in maunfac-
ture and public work is so great in
the north that some of the papers in
that section report not inconsidera-
BILE influx of Negro 1aborers from the
more northerly southern states. They
are attracted by the offer of higher
wages than they get at home.
The movement, however, will
amount to nothing and if it be true
that it is of some size, it will only be
question of time when many of those
who have gone north will turn their
footsteps back home.
1t is not often that northern pa
per is honest on the subject; but moth
ing could be truer or clearer than this
extract from an editorial in the Sy-
racuse Post-Standard as to why the
Negro finds life in the north unconn-
Portable and unpleasant:
"The Negro" it says, "is the OBJ
ject of industrial prejudice in the
north more serious than the political
prejudice under which he labors in
the south. He cannot make his way
far above unskilled employment with
out feeling the hostility of public and
fellow-workers. There is greater op-
portunity for him in the south. There
prejudice runs to the race, not to the
Individual; in the north it vuns to the
individual, not the race. We hest
tate to admit it, but we know in our
hearts that it is true"
The Negro wants industrial oppor-
tunity. He likes some of the crea-
ture comforts which come with mon
ey and so he generally is anxious for
work, unless he happens to belong to
the thriftless and od-for-nothing
class, which constantly is growing
fewer in numbers. In the north he
is boycotted. In the south his la
Dor is welcome.
So he would rather stay here,
among the people who know and I'M
derstand him and as a rule are will
ing to help him. AS matter Of
fact politics bothers him but little.
He really would never have taken
very much interest in it if it had not
been for designing men OF both races
who wanted the benefit of his vote to
feather their own nests; and now that
he finds registration difficult he con-
Germs himself very little with our
elections and wouldn't do so at all
if he wasn't stirred up occasionally
by agitators among his own people.
As long as he was factor in politics
he had a more or less miserable time.
Since he has been out of politics he
discovers himself happier and more
prosperous and entirely free from in
reference in the peaceful pursuits
of his livelihood and happiness.
As between being industrially fro
zen out in the north and giving up
his connection with politics in the
south he infinitely prefers the latter;
and hence any Negro labor invasion
of the north must necessarily be small
and fugitive.-New Orleans States.

to keep nest ell farmers away from

We might just as we'll look these
matters squarely in the face, and tell
the truth about them.
Farmers, it is high time to wake
up and throw down your prejudice
and study these facts and figures, as
it means money in your pocket.
If the work-house plan would be
an equivalent number of miles of
rock pixies, for the amount of money
spent, then Johnson City would be
for that plan, but we have tried that
plan. and it is a failure.
Under that plan. about $l25,OOO has
been spent and we have no roads yet.
By that plan, another $52,5OO is
again to be wrung from farmers and
all alike.
Think of the enormous expense of
feeding 70 head of mules and horses
all winter long, and nothing much
done. with all their five bosses, and
