the temperate species are here repre-
sented by varieties or subspecies which
take the place of the northern types.
The Everglades owe their charac-
teristie features Of marsh, sloughs, and
shallow ponds, to their recent origin
and their slight elevation above the
sea level. Their general surface is
not high enough to permit the forma-
ton Of deep valleys by erodlng
streams; and the water appears to
ooze slowly seward. on the west side
toward the southwest and on the east
side toward the southeast.
Royal Palm State park of course
takes its name from the royal palms
(Roystonia regia) which possibly form
Its chief ornament. These splendid
palms often rise to a height of 100
feet, dwarfing most of their competi-
tors Of the palm family. A worthy
rival Is the magnificent live oak (Quer-
Gus virginiana), which sometimes
spreads Its moss-covered branches over
an area 200 feet in diameter In the
way of curious forest growths is the
poison tree (Metopium taxiferum), a
giant sumach with a smooth spotted
trunk; its sap acts very much on the
human skin like the poison ivy Of the
north. Another tree to be catalogued
among the curiosities Is the strangling
fig (Ficus aurea). 1t begins life some
what like a mistletoe. sprouting from
tiny seed dropped on the limb of a
tree. It soon sends down threads
which take root when they reach the
ground, and which grow together wher-
ever they touch one another, forming
a meshwork about the trunk of the
host which is strangled TO death. The
photographs reproduced herewith
shows a strangling fig embracing a
cabbage palm.
The list Of beautiful and interesting
trees is long. Some Of the more strIk-
Ing are the gumbolimbo (Elaphrim
simaruba). called West Indian birch
in the Antilles; satinleaf. which takes
its name from the golden brown, SATIN
like lining Of its leaves; the laurel
cherry Of the West Indies; a beauti-
full mimosalike Lysolima, usually call.

age and smooth white trunk: the mas

Scab is exceedingly contagious and
is transmitted by direct contact with

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING is BEST

Meet Requirements Without Waste
Of Nutrients.

To supply food in the right proper
ton to meet the various requirements
of the animal. without waste Of food
nutrients, constitutes scientific feeding.
II Is by carefully studying the compo-
sition Of feeding stuffs. the proportion
in which they are dlgested by differ
ent animals and under different condi-
tons. and the requirement OF ami
mails for the various food nutrients
when at rest. at work, giving milk. pro-
ducing wool, mutton, beef, pork. ETC.,
that the principles of feeding have
been worked out. In applying these
principles In practice the cost and spe-
cial adaptations of different feeding
stuffs must, of course. be taken into
account.

COMMON SCAB AMONG SHEEP
During Past Decade Great Progress

Of AiIment

Common scab was formerly the
greatest drawback to the sheep indus
try Of the United States. but during
the past decade great progress has
been made In Its eradication. The
system OF grazing sheep on the open
ranges Of the western part OF Che
United States was such that the flock
masters had great difficulty In keeping
the flock free from the scab. The sheep
were very frequently exposed to the
disease by infectious ranges and trails,
picking up strays" from infected
hocks. and In many other ways II
became desirable for the department
Of agriculture to extend aid to the

In keys along the Florida coast orig
inal conditions have been changed oy
forest fires, by the clearing of forests
and by the digging of canals. Through
these agencies the original physical
conditions have been affected In vari-
GUS ways; moreover, aquatic animals
and plants have invaded and found a
foothold, Paradise key is also remark
able as meeting place Of many TEN
perate and tropical animals and
plants. 1t offers a virgin field for stu
dents of many branches of natural
history.
And last-and not least-Paradise
key does not blush unseen and waste
its sweetness on the desert air." 1t is
accessible to all nature-lovers and can
be reached by automobile highways
that run directly into the park.
Why, then is not Paradise key a
national park? Perhaps 1t should be.
Anyway, to the Florida State Fedora
ton of the General Federation Of
Women's Clubs is due the fact that
Paradise key Is now Royal Palm State
park instead of merely Paradise key,
an island in the Everglades. There
has long been an appreciation Of Para
disc key by discriminating nature
lovers and spasmodlc efforts had been
made previous to 1915 to get the
Florida legislature to set 1t aside as
a state park. Then the federated club
women of Florida took hold In earnest,
under the leadership Of Mrs. w. s.
Jennings, president Of the state fed
GRAFTON. The club women made an
aggressive campaign and in 1915 the
legislature set aside the key, together
with an adjacent area Of swampland,
as public park. This, with an addi-
tional tract afterward donated, has
received the name of Royal Palm State
park. II contains about three square
miles. The club women also erected
a building and installed park war
den. The automobile highway from
Homestead and Florida City to East
Cape passes close to the park and a
spur runs directly into the park.
Royal Palm State park lies In Dade
county, about 81 miles directly south
west of Miami. Paradise key owes
its preservation In primeval conditions
TO its isolation and to a deep nearby
slough. which never becomes dry.
Southern Florida, with an almost tropi-
cal climate, is sometimes subject In
the winter months to severe storms
from the north, In which the thermom-
eter falls below the freezing point.
That these occasional cold spells have
not seriously injured the vegetation
of Paradise key is shown by the pres
ence In its flora Of noble royal palms
tropical orchids. and other tender
plants, and insects belonging to types
essentially tropical. On the other hand
many temperate species. beth of plants
