Now is the time for every one who
wants work to think up something for
himself. Don't depend upon somebody
else. The integrity of life consists in
self-reliance. Be your own proprietor,
II 1t is of nothing else but an acre and

and do not discard the sympathy. But
regard rather that independence and
high purpose that make up the real
manhood. Men will have to work for
others while time lasts, but there is
nothing so noble in the hearts as the
aspiration to be ones own man and
direct ones own destiny. Society Is
divided In classes these days, each one
striving to outwit the other, but the
grandest class Of all is the man. him
self, with his own destiny in his fists.

To Preserve Fence Posts

The increased value Of timber,
lumber and fence posts makes it
worth while to lengthen the lives
Of these if a cheap preventative
can be used. 1t is well known
that an ordinary pine post, if
coated with tar will last several
years longer than one that is not
treated Prof. A. P. Spencer of
the Extension Division of the Col
lege of Agriculture says if one
will take into consideration that
after about five yeers these fence
posts may be worth twice as much
as at the present time, they will
pay to treat these posts with a
preventative.
The forestry division Of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture has
made repeated tests, and informa-
ton concerning this can be secur-
ed by writing the chief Of forestry
at Washington. A number of
materials are on the market some
are Of greater value than others.

Whitefy Fungus

During the rainy season white
fly fungus grows and spreads rap
idly. If the fungus is not well es-
tablished in groves infested with
whitefy, the fungus should be dis
tributed.
Cultures can be secured from
the Plant Board enomOlOgist, who
has a laboratory for growing it.
There is a small charge, about IS
cents, to cover the actual cost Of
making.
The County Agents or the Plant
Board inspectors can advise all
about this, and will assist growers
in securing and starting the Gull
lures. One culture is usually suf-
ficient for an acre.
The earlier the fungi are well
started in a grove the longer time
they will have to work.

A New Variety of Mango

We received recently from Mr..
VIM. III. Case of Estero Island,
two handsome and deliciously fla
vored mangoes, the fruit being
somewhat different in appearance,
aroma and flavor than any we
have yet sampled. About medi-
UNI size, gorgeously tinted with
red, with little fiber, and fra
GRANGE that would scent large
room, this is surely superior var
iety, and it scarcely seems be-
lievable that they originated from
a common Seeding. But we will
let Mr.. Case tell the story in his
own words. In a letter to the
writer he states:
81 am sending you a couple of
Seeding mangoes that we think
extra good. | planted the seed
from common mango six years
ago. Two shoots came up from
the one seed, and | allowed them
both to grow. The tree is about
twelve feet high and about the
same spread. Last year both
branches bore some fruit, the
south branch like sample | am
sending you and the north branch
an entirely different fruit, "a
little larger, but without the high
coloring of the south branch and
more fiber. This year the south
branch is full to the breaking
point, while the north branch has
but few fruit. -
1t is well known that a mango
will often produce two or three
separate trees from the same seed,
but we had never before realized
that there could be such varl-
ance Of the fruit produced from
the one seed. If from a common
mango, this fruit must be from the
Apple Mango, which It more near
ly resembles than any other OF the
common types, but is vastly sup
erior and well worth cultivating.

Farmers Going in For Dairying

Dairying has taken tremend-
GUS impetus all over the State, ac-
to State Agent c. X. Nc
Quarrie. Dairymen around Tai
lahassee are now shipping some
thing like 400 gallons of milk a
day, and by August they expect to
be shipping between 1900 and
1900 gallons a day.
There are 81 diaries in Leon
county, and the owners are pro-
gressive and successful business
men. The majority of them have
a silo, and are growing their own
feeds. 1t is this fact more han
any other that is making the dairy
business profitable for these Leon
county farmers,
The farmers west Of the Apala-
chicola river are becoming very
much interested in dairying, and
more of them are entering this
line of far mwork. The milk from
this section will be shipped to
Pensacola.
In Orange county, the dairy in
terest continues to grow; also III
Manatee and other south Florida
counties.
A very pleasing fact IS that one
can now get milk to drink in
every section of the State. A few
years ago this was not the case.
The slogan Of two good milch
COWS on every farm is fast taking
hold and making rapid Roadway.

VELVET BEANS CHEAPER
Than Cottonseed Meal for Milk
Production

Florida formers and dairymen
have in the velvet bean one Of the
cheapest and best dairy feeds and
many thousands Of acres are
planted to this crop this year.
Experiments which. have been
conducted at the Experiment
Station indicate that velvet beans
are nearly equal pound for pound
to cottonseed meal, for milk pro-
duction.
The result of the first test con-
Quoted showed that 267,75 pounds
of velvet beans in the pod pro-
duced as much milk as 95.5
pounds of cottOnseed meal (75
percent ammonia). When 26775
pounds of velvet beans in the pod
were fed with wheat bran and
sorghum silage, the cows gave
1856 gallons Of milk. When 94.5
pounds of cottonseed meal were
fed with wheat bran and sorghum
silage 1889 gallons of milk were
produced. There was a slight
difference in cost in favor Of the
velvet bean ration.
In the latter test, 816 pounds of
velvet beans in the pod, when fed
with wheat bran and silage, pro
duced 1855 gallons of milk;
while 576 pounds Of cottonseed
meal produced 1928 gallons of
milk, when fed with wheat bran
and silage. The cost Of a gallon
of milk was little over three
cents more for the cOttonseed
meal than for the velvet bean rat
ion.
The daily ration per head when
velvet beans were fed was as fol
lows: Velvet beans in pod, 4.25
pounds; wheat bran, 10; and
sorghum silage 2450 pounds.
When cottonseed meal YVES fed,
the daily ration per head was as
follows: Cottonsoed m al, 3
pounds; wheat bran, 10 pounds;
and sorghum sil&ge, "a pounds.
These ratiqnS appear to have
been about right, as all the COWS
maintained their initial weight, or
gained only little The rations
as fed were sufficient to. supply
the nutrients required to produce
a goodsfow of milk, and at the
same time maintain the body
weight.
