sinking the vessels argue that to do
so would be to cause an economic and

as 1 had tried all the different medi-

Orlando. Fla, Jan. IS.

Cld., Jdu. 10.
 Dear Mrs. Preston:
 We are having perfectly delightful weather, only one rainy day in two weeks. I took a long walk this morn ing without my overcoat and found a poultryman who had young chicks just matched and sectional incubator and single incubators full of eggs. some matching now. He had R. l. Reds, White Leghorns and Barred Rocks I asked him what particular problems Florida poultry man had to contend with? He said the Zig gers" It is a sort of flea, something like the tick" of the north, but he had overcome it by keeping tobacco stems scattered all over his poultry yards. They have the little red mites" or roost louse down here too. told him how to get rid of them cheaply and easily. I was curious about prices here for matching eggs and day-old chicks, etc. His price for chicks was 20 cents each, and if he kept them a while before shipping he charged a cent day per chick. Matching eggs were $2.0O per 15, about the average price north. They had big barbecue at Kissimmee and we didn't, know it until it was all over. Six whole oxen, six hogs and six sheep were roasted in the street and about 5000 people partook. Bread and butter by the ton was furnished, and it was all free. Big trenches were dug, filled with hot coals and the meat roasted on iron gratings over the coals, Big darkies with pitchforks would turn the meat over and over until done, then great slices would be taken in the hand, and mouthfuls bit off. Can you imagine the sheer fun of 1t? Just think of the fun of seeing 5000 men, women and children getting right down to nature and eating as their ancestors did in the stone age. Thursday we went on a long ride to Lake Apopka. Standing on the little boat landing we could not see the farther shore. It is seven teen miles across. These Florida lakes are not all duck ponds. On the very edge of it was the most beautiful orange and grapefruit grove we have yet seen. The fruit had not been picked yet as most of the groves have. The trees were just loaded with the leautiful globes, and the ground un- der the trees was so covered with the fruit that it would be impossible to put one's foot down without treading on them. We went through differ ent Florida that day, Florida of aot- ual hills, not the steep hills of New England, but long slopes, easy to cul- tivate. In New England the hills are so close together that to get a valley in between them the valley has to be turned upon edge, but here it is laid fiat on it's back. For many miles out
