Orcharding At The Delaware Station

Are the methods advocated by the
professors and the experiment station
experts practical and profitable? The
Delaware State College has just pub
lished a bulletin giving the costs and
proceeds from the peach orchard ON
the College Farm, showing the ex-
penses of planting, tillage, fertilizer,
marketing, and all ether expenses,
giving the cost per bushel of the
peach crop, the selling price and the
net profits. The bulletin was prepar-
ed to show the farmers that the excel
lent fruit was raised profitably under
conditions similar to those which
could be used on the ordinary farm.

BURNING UP THE CRIMINAL
PARAPHERNALIA

Smoke curling yesterday after
noon from the chimney of the gov
eminent building had no other than
the usual significance to observers,
if observers there were, it being just
plain everyday smoke yet neverthe-
less representing the last of a varied
assortment of criminal offenses COM
mitted within the Southern district
of the United States district court of
Florida.
| Only the penalties now being paid
by prisoners convinced and sent to
the federal penitentiary in Atlanta,
for The respective terms to be served,
remain as a reminder of the scenes
of other days and nights when the
mass of different articles, used as
, evidence in court, was burned in the
furnace of the basement of the gov
ernncnt building yesterday after
noon by j. c. Brown, United States
marshal of the district.
Opium pipes, some of the valuable
and ornate specimens and some of
them merely ordinary pipes, went
the way of fire and flame. Opium in
its crude state and the manufacture
ed product, yenshee, went the same
way. Cigars in boxes that had been
relilleG to avoid paying the internal
revenue tax cigarettes confiscated,
wearing apparel stolen from inter-
state express shipments, parapherna-
liza Of the opium den, strange uten-
sils, whiskey and morphine, as also
hypodermic needles and syringes
formed only part of the material
destroyed by the order of the court.
Several primitive stills that had
been used in the illicit distilling of
sprituous liquors were also demol-
ished and fed to the roaring fire in
the furnace in the basemant. All
these articles had been seized at diff
ferent times and at different places
by the marshal and his deputies at
the time different raids were made,
some i'll this city and others in var
ious sections of the state. 1t took
some time to dispose of the large
amount of material the marshal had
on his hands and was done on pur-

State Health Exhibit Cars
To Start on Tour Monday

Jacksonville, Jan. THE three
exhibit cars of the Florida State
Board of Health are open for pub
lie inspection beginning yesterday
morning at 9 o'clock. The cars will
remain open until Saturday night,
and the public is invited by DR.. j. Y.
H. Porter to make thorough in
spection of the cars before they start
on a tour of the State.
For many weeks the cars have
been parked on West Forsyth street,
in the 900 block, while they were
being installed with the necessary
apparatus, exhibits, models, pic
lures and other contrivance. The
cars will start on a tour of the State
Monday, and St. Augustine will be
the first place of exhibit. Here
lectures and demonstrations will be
givel, and literature distributed.
The plan of the department is to
educate the people in the ways and
means of handling disease and pre-
venting it. From St. Augustine the
cars will be eaken to Miami, and
thence to Key West, working back
to Jacksonville from the Island city.
It will probably be month before
the cars return to the city.
The railroads have agreed TO
handle the cars free of charge.

THE REAL PURPOSE OF
MAYORS CONVENTION
IN JACKSONVILLE

Mayor Bowdens latest conven-
ton idea to help out the Jackson
Vile hotels is a meeting of the may
ors Of Southern States to discuss
the tramp problem, one of the simp-
lest questions a mayor has to deal
with comments the Palatka News

the necessity for the assemblage of
chief executives of Southern NUM-

place the esteemed Palatka editor

Jacksonville hotels are just now en-
joyins an almost unprecedented
business, and that there is not the
slightest need for any gathering or
excuses to "fill up" the hostelries.
If that were the purpose of the meet
ing it certainly would not be called
at this season of the year, for the
hotels would rather entertain con-
vention at any time except the pres
ent.
The purpose of Mayor Bowden' s
convention is to discuss the travel
ing pauper" question. Everybody
knows that the tramp will not work.
Southern cities are greatly incon-
yenicnced with the burden of caring

THERE TO REST0CK' WARREN
Normandy Peasant a. Ready to Rec.
ognIze Good Thing a. Any
American Flnaneler.

A distinguished Partisan, with a
country place in Normandy. once
maintained near that place a rabbit
warren Of few acres in the midst of
cultivated fields.
The enterprise was a source of
plentiful income to the Normandy
peasants. who took the opportunity
to plant choice vegetables in the ad.
joining fields. Then they demanded
large compensation for the alleged
damage done by the rabbits.
After while, however, the owner
OF the warren began to grow tired of
the arrangements. He reckoned that
under the existing state of things the
few rabbits he shot cost him about
twenty dollars each, which was rather
too much, even for an enthusiastic
sportsman. So he determined to de.
stroy the game preserve.
There were only four or five bur-
rows in the Enclosure, and a few fer
rets soon killed all the occupants.
One night, after all the rabbits had
been destroyed, the owner happened
to visit his former preserve, and de-
tected man skulking along under
the trees with a large bag on his
back. The owner at once jumped to
the conclusion that the man had come
to steal wood. When he challenged
the intruder, the supposed thief took
to his heels, leaving the bag behind
him. 1t was found to be filled with
rabbits of both sexes.
The man was no thief, but neigh

bits. had thought 1t advisable to re-
