A SERMON OF THE SOIL.

If every farmer in Florida coulC
have heard what we heard our FRIEND
L. K. Tucker relate today, an actual
experience, we believe it would have
created new hopes, new ambitions
and new determinations in the souls
of many who are Flooding along with
the sole purpose of keeping the wolf
from the door or the sheriff away
from the front gate.
Mr.. Tucker had no idea that his
experience was to be exploited, just
as he told it, but it fell so closely in
line with the experiences of all sue
cessful tillers of the soil and with
what we have observed as making for
success in farming that we print it
and then apologize. His own expert
ence reminded US that a few years
ago Georgia and Alabama farmers
erected monuments to the boil wee
VII. This little insect, which destroyed
millions of potential bales of cotton,
forced the farmers to plant other
crops, raise hogs, chickens, cattle,
sugar cane, potatoes, corn, peanuts,
peas, beans-and to live at home.
They were forced to apply the al
chemy of diversifcation. They pros
pered. They raised everything they
put on the table, supplied their la
Dor with food in return for labor,
sold the surplus and paid off the
mortgage. Their return to the old
system and the eonsequen. depriva-
.ions, is still another story,
For fifteen years previous to the
'sbig freeze" in '95 Mr.. Tucker de-
voted all Of his energies to develop

ing one product-citrus fruits. The
Dost par: of his life was devoted to
putting all of his eggs in this one
basket. His neighbors did likewise,
and when the icy blasts came out of
the northwest that memorable Feb
ruary nothing was left but w;rhered
and blackened trees, mute monu-
ments to mans lack of foresight.
Like thousands of others, Mr.. Tuck
err woke one morning a ruined man.
There was nothing to eat in the big
eight room house he had built. He
rode five miles to store to suffer
the first embarrassment of being re-
fused credit in his life. He was re-
fused groceries for himself and
family.
In his own words at was the turn
ing point. He set about recouping
his fortunes. He had land, work ami
mails, few chickens, a couple of
cows and energy. Suffering the hard
ships that nearly all Florida grove
owners suffered, until he could pro-
duce some food crops, he SET about
the new tasks. Within a year he was
enjoying the best the land afforded.
He raised everything he ate, bacon,
hams, sausage, spareribs, backbone,
chickens, eggs, butter, milk, syrup,
potatoes, peas, beans, vegetables and
fruit. He paid his help in food, for
all were hungry and within a short
time had cash in the bank. at was
the most successful and satisfactory
period of mY1life," said Mr.. Tucker,
"and l prospered then as l have not
prospered since, and were it not for
physical disabilities which assailed
me | would have continued living at
home with no worry of the morrow"
That's the case. That's the evil
dence. 1t proves that tilling the soil,
like everything else, must be made
business. First of all the farmer must
live at home. Everybody knows it,
but how lamentably few practice it?
How many potato growers IN the
Hastings section are independent of
one potato crop? How many of them
who fail to live ct home are able to
draw check on the bank in which
there is no mortgage or notes? How
many of them who do not diversity
and live at home could live on the
money they would earn in any other |
profession to which they devoted no !
more time than they actually give to
heir farming operations?
The men in the Hastings, or any
,ther section, who make a success of
farming are the men who are not
otally dependent on one crop. 1t

,elt, the fruit belt and all other belts

Blood Infusion.

In cases where new blood Is re-
quired to fill the depleted veins Of a
human being, it is not practicable to
use for the purpose the vital fluid Of a
dog or any other animal, because it
would act as poison, destroying life
instead of saving It.
This is for the reason that the blood
of lower animal is not chemically
the same as that Of a man. The fact
does not seem very surprising, but the
recent discovery that the various races
Of mankind differ in respect to the
chemical makeup of their blood is
undeniably curious
Experience has proved that 1t will
not do to introduce the blood of ne.
gro into the veins of a white man or
vice versa And the same remark ap'
plies to the Mongol, the Malay and
the American Indian In any such
cases a chemical reaction follows
which Is Injurious. &c..

enters largely into their value. The
more perfectly preserved they are, the
greater prices they command. VIC

listened attentively to Miss Holden's

At a crisp order from their COM
mander the sailor lads continued down
the road. The campers vanished into
their own woods. The incident was

Lily Dart, a romantic young woman
OF seventeen, elaborated upon the
meeting to Bertha. "And the officer

"Tll bet that good-looking officer

irrepressible Lily. Really, Miss

AS 1t happened, the romantic proph-
ecy came true. Ensign Richard

Muriel was one Of the campers. She
let him labor under that delusion.

gave Akron. Ohio. which, luckily. she
