It should be kept out of politics and have the co-operative support of the people and the officers and inspec tors. Up to date, it has saved the south millions of dollars and has made our cattle industry safe and profitable. It has paid and will pay industrial dividends to every farmer and cattle owner in the south. There are those who think it is too much trouble to get the last tick yet it must be done and the earlier it is done th£ cheaper and safer it will be for the live stock industry. South Texas is now falling into line and Florida must clean up her ticks ,if she remains in the cattle business.

A combin ation of mutton or lamb with pork may also be used for such a purpose, according to the United States depart ment of agriculture. * A general formula is: Lamb or mutton, 2 parts, lean fresh pork, 1 part, fat pork, 1 part, salt and seasoning to suit the taste. Combine all the ingredients and put them through a sausage grinder. This sausage may be made into cakes and cooked at once or packed in skins or bags, about 2% inches in diameter and stored like pork sausage. It is often convenient, particularly in the warmer months, to make only small quantities for immediate use. Sausage No. 1. 1 pound mutton or lamb free from bone, % pound fat fresh pork.

If this were so the country would be radiently beautiful and would be known throughout the country and tourists by the score would visit us and the lips of every visitor would be kept busy singing our praises. Mr. Luther Burbank gives the i’ol- 1 lowing suggestions for new begin ners in planting gardens: Many of the common mistakes of the beginner are made in pfanting. A few suggestions may help materially in avoiding them: First of all —get good, seeds! Like all good things they are cheaper in the end. If flowers are to be grown the be ginner is likely to have the ,best sue-: cess with “hardy annuals” —such flowers as zinnias or marigolds—hut in the event that other plants are de sired an amateur would do well to start his seed in boxes. To prepare the boxes use leaf mould in mixing the earth and pro-1 vide holes in the bottom for the drain age of water. Put the boxes in shelter ed places, protecting them from di rect sunlight. When the seedlings ap, pear—and particularly when the fourth leaf has appeared—transplant them, either in another box or the garden When well up thin the plants accord ing to the variety. Covering seeds too deeply is a common mistake and should be avoid ed, particularly in the case of When boxes are used and precautions taken very little earth is needed over the seeds and, in some cases, practi cally none. But, at all events, do not make care less seed purchases if you wish the lull benefit of your time and trouble. • • * Mr. Chas. T. Lindsey writing from Los Angeles, Calif., says: “Bigger crops are possible. The question is often asked, “Should I aim to feed the crops or build up the soil?” Dr. R. R. Snowden, America’s .foremost soil and crop expert, answ ers as follows—(Dr. Snowden was a former resident,of Ocala): T say, by all means, build up the soil—which means create and main tain conditions in the soil most favor able to root extension and plant de velopment—then feed the crops by supplying, in available forms, all those fertilizer elements that are defi cient in the stfil.” These objects are attained by the use of gypsum. “The action of gypsum in improv ing the physical condition of the soil already is well known to the farmer. Its addition also is frequently equiva lent. in a measure, to the application of all other plant foods as well, since it releases the locked-up potash, phos phoric acid and jiitrogen, making the available supply adequate where there was little before." m m A Car of Florida Oranges Brought $3244.37 The New York auction reports show that a car of Mocking Bird Blue Goose oranges, shipped by the Citra Fruit Company, Citra. Florida, has been sold by the American Fruit Growers, Inc., in New York, for $3244.37. This is probably the highest figure ever received for a car of oranges shipped from Marion county. The fruit in this car was the run of the grove and not specially picked. * * • Florida: The only state where you can get a dollar a quart for straw berries: fifteen dollars a barrel for potatoes: six dollars a box for oranges on the trees: six hundred dollars profit from an acre of pecans: and feast your eyes on the most glorious womanhood on earth! —Tampa Trib une. • * * Melon shippers are to have a ten per cent reduction in railroad rates. This will hold good until June 30th, if not permanent. The Melon Distributors’ Associa tion has been working for months for a reduction in railroad rates and last Saturday Mr. R. W. Burch, of Plant City, member of the executive com mittee of the Melon Distributors’ As sociation received a very satisfactory wire granting the reduction. - a a a War gases are proposed for de stroying noxious pests.

How deep do you have to go to find water?” These and Uke questions about water are generally among the first asked by prospective settlers in the states west of the Missouri. Hun dreds of good houses have been built and occupied in the western prairies and not a tree or stream to greet the view in any direction. Alkali is so abundant in the north western plains states that it looks like snow around the border of lakes and waterholes wherever they exist. This dreary condition is not pos sible anywhere in the south. Water is abundant and the best on earth, and there is no monotony in the land scape. The homeseeker who comes to Florida has no trouble about getting plenty of good water, and Besides, he has no long winter to face with ex pensive fuel and clothing bills. The thrifty homemaker can have some thing fresh for his table each month in, the year from his own garden. In number and variety of commer cial springs of mineralized or medical water the southern states lead the Union. Water is bottled at the var ious springs by the car and shipped north and west, and about these springs, especially in the mountain sections, resort hotels have been built and each year finds them crowded with health seekers from all over the world. Florida has fine resorts along the sea coast and at many interior points and the state is fast becoming an all the year around resort. Some of the largest springs in Amer ica are to be found in Florida. Silver Springs, near Ocala, has an overflow large enough to make a stream to float steamboats. —Moses Folsom in Jax. Metropolis.
